*Employment Agreement with Parker Scott*

On December 29, 2025, the Company entered into an employment agreement (the "Employment Agreement") with Parker Scott, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors ("Board") of the Company. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Scott will (i) receive a base salary at an annual rate of $450,000 (the "Base Salary"), in substantially equal installments in accordance with the regular payroll practices of the Company, (ii) be eligible to earn a bonus with a target equal to 100% of the Base Salary (the "Target Annual Bonus") with the amount earned to be based on achievement of factors as determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee, and (iii) be a participant in the Company's equity-based compensation programs and receive an initial long-term award of 1,250,000 shares of restricted common stock.

Under the Employment Agreement, in the event of termination of Mr. Scott by the Company for "Cause" (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement), Mr. Scott will be entitled only to the Accrued Benefits (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement). If however, Mr. Scott is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Mr. Scott for Good Reason (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement), then Mr. Scott will be entitled to (i) the Accrued Benefits, (ii) an amount in cash equal to one times the sum of the Base Salary and the Target Annual Bonus, payable in substantially equal monthly installments over the 12-month period following termination, (iii) the Pro Rata Annual Bonus (as such term in defined in the Employment Agreement), (iv) all unvested equity grants shall immediately vest, and (v) subject to Mr. Scott's timely election, continuation of coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, continued copayment of premiums at the same level and cost as if Mr. Scott were an employee of the Company, and continued participation in the Company's group health plan (to the extent permitted under applicable law) that covers Mr. Scott for a period of 18 months following termination.

In the event of termination by the Company without Cause within 24 months following a Change in Control (as defined below), Mr. Scott will be entitled to a lump sum payment equal to two times the Base Salary and the Target Annual Bonus, the Pro Rata Annual Bonus, immediate vesting of all equity grants, and continuation of group health benefits at the Company's expense for up to 18 months following termination. "Change in Control" is defined in the Employment Agreement by reference to the Company's 2025 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan and excludes the Company's emergence from a proceeding under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and transactions related thereto.

*Independent Director Agreements*

On December 26, 2025, the Company entered into agreements (the "Independent Director Agreements") with the Company's independent directors, consisting of Christopher Ensey, Christopher R. Moe and Allan Evans (the "Independent Directors"). Under the Independent Director Agreements, each Independent Director will be entitled to (i) annual cash compensation totaling $30,000 and (ii) receive an initial grant under the Company's 2025 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") of 103,550 shares of restricted common stock, on such terms and subject to such conditions as determined by the Compensation Committee, and thereafter, a grant of shares of restricted common stock in the notional amount of $190,000.

The Independent Directors will be entitled to annual cash compensation for service on committees of the Board, as follows: Audit Committee members will receive $10,000 and the chair will receive $20,000; Compensation Committee members will receive $7,500 and the chair will receive $15,000; and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee members will receive $5,000 and the chair will receive $10,000.

(the "Acquisition") entered into lock-up agreements (the "Lock-Up-Agreements"), pursuant to which for a period of 180 days following the issuance of the Shares (the "Lock-Up Period"), subject to certain exclusions, without the prior written consent of the Company or Dominari Securities, LLC, the holders will not: (1) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Shares or any securities convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive Shares (including, without limitation, Shares which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and securities which may be issued upon exercise of warrants or a stock option) whether now owned or hereafter acquired or (2) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise.

The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude the holder from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the securities even if such securities would be disposed of by someone other than the holder. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include, without limitation, any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to any of the securities or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from such securities.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lock-up Period does not apply to: (A) one-third (1/3) of 18,750,000 Shares acquired by the investors in US Data and Energy, LLC ("USD&E") in connection with the closing of the acquisition of the assets of such company from and following the Acquisition; plus (B) one-third (1/3) of the Shares acquired by the investors in USD&E from and after the date that is ninety (90) days following the Acquisition; plus (C) one-third (1/3) of the Shares acquired by the investors in USD&E from and after the date that is one-hundred and eighty (180) days following the Acquisition, and pursuant to certain other customary exceptions.

The foregoing description of the Lock-Up Agreements does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Lock-Up Agreements, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, and are incorporated herein by reference.

**Exhibit 10.1**

**EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT**

This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "<u>Agreement</u>") is entered into as of December 29, 2025 (the "<u>Agreement Date</u>"), by and between Datacentrex, Inc., a Nevada corporation (f/k/a Thumzup Media, Corporation)(the "<u>Company</u>"), and Parker Scott (the "<u>Executive</u>"). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in <u>Section 22</u>.

WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions for the Executive's continued employment with the Company as Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. **Term.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The period of time between the Agreement Date and the termination of the Executive's employment hereunder is referred to herein as the "Term." Upon any termination of the Executive's employment with the Company, the Executive shall be deemed to have resigned from all positions with the Company and all of its subsidiaries, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. **Position and Duties.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) During the Term, the Executive shall serve as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Executive shall report to the full Board of Directors (the "<u>Board</u>"). In his capacity as Chief Executive Officer, the Executive shall have the duties, authorities and responsibilities as are commensurate with the duties, authorities and responsibilities of persons serving in a similar capacity in similarly sized companies or that the Board may designate from time to time that are consistent with the Executive's position. The location of the Executive's services may be performed remotely.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Executive shall devote substantially all of the Executive's business time and efforts to the performance of the Executive's duties hereunder and the advancement of the business and affairs of the Company; <u>provided</u> that the Executive shall be entitled to: (i) continue to engage in the activities set forth on <u>Exhibit A</u>, and (ii) serve on civic, charitable, educational, religious, public interest or public service boards and manage the Executive's personal and family investments to the extent such activities do not materially interfere, individually or in the aggregate, with the performance of the Executive's duties and responsibilities hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, during his employment, the Executive shall not be permitted to serve on any for-profit boards of directors (other than those specified in the preceding subsection (i)) without the prior written consent of the Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Executive shall be nominated as a member of the Board, and the Company shall continue to nominate the Executive for re-election as a member of the Board at all times during the Term; <u>provided</u> that the foregoing shall not be required to the extent prohibited by legal or regulatory requirements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. **Compensation and Benefits.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Base Salary</u>. During the Term, the Company shall pay to the Executive a base salary at an annual rate of not less than $450,000.00 in substantially equal installments in accordance with the regular payroll practices of the Company, but not less frequently than bi-monthly. The Executive's base salary shall be subject to annual review by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board (the "<u>Committee</u>"), and may be increased, but not decreased, from time to time by the Board or the Committee. The base salary as determined herein and increased (if applicable) from time to time shall constitute "<u>Base Salary</u>" for purposes of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Annual Bonus</u>. With respect to each calendar year during the Term, the Executive will be eligible to earn a bonus with a target annual bonus opportunity equal to 100% of Base Salary ("<u>Target Annual Bonus</u>") with the amount earned to be based on achievement of the financial or individual performance goals and factors as determined by the Board or the Committee, after consultation with the Executive, that are generally consistent with the program for other senior executives of the Company (the "<u>Annual Bonus</u>") and shall be mutually agreed within 90 calendar days of this Agreement. Any Annual Bonus shall be payable at the same time or time(s) that annual bonuses are paid to senior executives of the Company generally, subject to continued employment on the applicable payment date, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement. The Executive and Company agree that the attainment of any financial targets associated with any Annual Bonus or Long Term Incentive Compensation (as defined below) shall not be determined until following the completion of the Company's annual audit and public announcement of such results and shall be paid promptly following the Company's announcement of earnings and that all Long Term Incentive Compensation, not earned and vested on the date of termination shall be forfeited.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Long-Term Incentive Compensation</u>. During the Term, the Executive will be a participant in the Company's equity-based compensation programs (the "<u>MIP</u>"), and will receive an initial long-term award of 1,250,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company under the Company's 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan (each, an "<u>Equity Grant</u>").

(d) <u>Benefit Plans</u>. During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in any employee benefit plans and programs that the Company has adopted or may adopt, maintain or contribute to for the benefit of its senior executives (or employees generally, if senior executives are eligible to participate in such plan). The Executive's participation will be subject to the terms of the applicable plan documents and generally applicable Company policies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may modify or terminate any employee benefit plan at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Paid Time Off.</u> During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to four weeks of paid time off per calendar year (prorated for any partial years of employment), in accordance with the Company's policy on accrual and use as in effect from time to time. Paid time off may be taken at such times and intervals as the Executive reasonably determines, subject to the Company's business needs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Business Expenses</u>. During the Term, the Executive will be authorized to incur reasonable business expenses in carrying out the Executive's duties and responsibilities to the Company. The Executive shall be promptly reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred and paid by the Executive during the Term, subject to and in accordance with the Company's expense reimbursement policy as in effect from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) <u>Clawback Rights</u>. The Annual Bonus, and any and all stock based compensation (such as options and equity awards, including, without limitation, the Equity Grants) (collectively, the "Clawback Benefits") shall be subject to "Clawback Rights" as follows: during the period that the Executive is employed by the Company and upon the termination of the Executive's employment and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, if there is a restatement of any financial results from which any Clawback Benefits to the Executive shall have been determined, the Executive agrees to repay any amounts which were determined by reference to any Company financial results which were later restated (as defined below), to the extent the Clawback Benefits amounts paid exceed the Clawback Benefits amounts that would have been paid, based on the restatement of the Company's financial information. All Clawback Benefits amounts resulting from such restated financial results shall be retroactively adjusted by the Board or Committee to take into account the restated results, and any excess portion of the Clawback Benefits resulting from such restated results shall be immediately surrendered to the Company and if not so surrendered within ninety (90) days of the revised calculation being provided to the Executive by the Board or Committee following a publicly announced restatement, the Company shall have the right to take any and all action to effectuate such adjustment. The calculation of the revised Clawback Benefits amount shall be determined by the Board or Committee in good faith and in accordance with applicable law, rules and regulations. All determinations by the Board or Committee with respect to the Clawback Rights shall be final and binding on the Company and the Executive. The Clawback Rights shall terminate following a Change in Control, subject to applicable law, rules and regulations. For purposes hereof, a restatement of financial results that requires a repayment of a portion of the Clawback Benefits amounts shall mean a restatement resulting from material non-compliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws and shall not include a restatement of financial results resulting from subsequent changes in accounting pronouncements or requirements which were not in effect on the date the financial statements were originally prepared ("Restatements"). The parties acknowledge it is their intention that the foregoing Clawback Rights as relates to Restatements conform in all respects to the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 ("Dodd-Frank Act") and require recovery of all "incentive-based" compensation, pursuant to the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and any and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder from time to time in effect. Accordingly, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed automatically amended from time to time to assure compliance with the Dodd-Frank Act and such rules and regulations as hereafter may be adopted and in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. **Termination of Employment; Severance.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>General</u>. The Executive's employment and the Term shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the Executive's death, (ii) a termination by the Company due to the Executive's Disability, (iii) a termination by the Company with or without Cause, and (iv) a termination by the Executive with or without Good Reason (the date of such termination, the "<u>Termination Date</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Termination Due to the Executive's Death or Disability</u>. The Executive's employment and the Term shall terminate automatically upon the Executive's death. The Company may terminate the Executive's employment and the Term immediately upon the occurrence of the Executive's Disability, with such termination to be effective upon the Executive's receipt of written notice of such termination. Upon a termination of the Executive's employment and the Term due to the Executive's death or Disability, in each case during the Term, the Executive's estate or the Executive, as applicable, shall be entitled to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) payment of any earned but unpaid Base Salary and any accrued but unused paid time off (if any), in each case, through the Termination Date, to be paid no later than 60 days following the Termination Date (or such earlier date as may be required by applicable law);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) reimbursement for any unreimbursed business expenses incurred through the Termination Date, in accordance with <u>Section 3(f)</u>;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) all other payments, benefits or fringe benefits to which the Executive shall be entitled under the terms of any applicable compensation arrangement or benefit, equity or fringe benefit plan or program or grant or this Agreement, payable in accordance therewith;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) any accrued but unpaid Annual Bonus due with respect to any calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the Termination Date occurs, which amount shall be paid in accordance with <u>Section 3(b)</u>, to be paid at the time set forth in the last sentence of <u>Section 3(b)</u> (collectively, clauses (i) through (iv), the "<u>Accrued Benefits</u>"); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) a pro rata portion of any Annual Bonus payable in respect of the calendar year in which the Termination Date occurs, determined by multiplying (A) the actual amount of such Annual Bonus that the Executive would have received had the Executive's employment not so terminated (disregarding any individual performance factors and proportionately increasing the weighting of any Company performance metrics, if applicable), by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the applicable calendar year that the Executive was employed with the Company, and the denominator of which is the total number of calendar days during the applicable calendar year, which pro rata portion shall be paid at the time annual bonuses are paid to senior executives of the Company generally for such calendar year, as set forth in <u>Section 3(b)</u> (the "<u>Pro Rata Annual Bonus</u>").

Following a termination of the Executive's employment due to death or Disability, except as set forth in this <u>Section 5(b)</u>, the Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Termination by the Company for Cause</u>. The Company may terminate the Executive's employment at any time for Cause, effective upon delivery to the Executive of written notice of such termination. If the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, the Executive shall be entitled only to the Accrued Benefits. Following the termination of the Executive's employment by the Company for Cause, except as set forth in this <u>Section 5(c)</u>, the Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Termination by the Company without Cause; Termination by the Executive for Good Reason</u>. The Company may terminate the Executive's employment without Cause with 60days' prior written notice, effective upon the date specified in such notice. The Executive may terminate the Executive's employment for Good Reason by providing the Company written notice in the manner set forth below. In the event that during the Term the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (other than due to the Executive's death or Disability), or by the Executive for Good Reason (each, a "<u>Qualifying Termination</u>"), in each case, subject to <u>Section 5(g)</u> (other than with respect to any Accrued Benefits, which are not subject to <u>Section 5(g)</u>), the Executive shall be entitled to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Accrued Benefits;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) an amount in cash equal to **one-times** the sum of (i) the Executive's Base Salary (without giving effect to any reduction or series of reductions giving rise to Good Reason) plus (ii) Target Annual Bonus (without giving effect to any reduction or series of reductions giving rise to Good Reason) (the "<u>Severance Payment</u>"), payable in substantially equal monthly installments over the 12-month period following the Termination Date; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the first such payment shall not be made until the first payroll date following the date on which the Release (as defined below) becomes non-revocable pursuant to <u>Section 5(g)</u> and such first payment shall include any amounts that would otherwise have been payable between the Termination Date and the date of such first payment; and <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that if the period that the Executive has to consider and revoke the Release pursuant to <u>Section 5(g)</u> commences in one calendar year and ends in a subsequent calendar year, then the first such payment shall not be made until the second calendar year;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the Pro Rata Annual Bonus;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) all unvested Equity Grants shall immediately vest; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) subject to the Executive's (A) timely election of continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended ("<u>COBRA</u>"), and (B) continued copayment of premiums at the same level and cost to the Executive as if the Executive were an employee of the Company (excluding, for purposes of calculating cost, an employee's ability to pay premiums with pre-tax dollars), continued participation in the Company's group health plan (to the extent permitted under applicable law) that covers the Executive (and the Executive's eligible dependents) for a period of 18 months following the Termination Date at the Company's expense; <u>provided</u> that the Executive is eligible and remains eligible for COBRA coverage; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that the Company may modify the continuation coverage contemplated by this <u>Section</u> 4(d)(iv) to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid the imposition of any excise taxes on the Company for failure to comply with the nondiscrimination requirements of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as amended, and/or the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, as amended (to the extent applicable), provided that (if doing so would not result in such an excise tax), the Executive will be provided with a lump sum cash benefit on the same payment schedule should such benefit be reduced as a result of this proviso; and <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that if the Executive obtains other employment that offers substantially comparable group health benefits, such continuation of coverage by the Company under this <u>Section 4(d)(iv)</u> shall immediately cease (the payments described in clauses (ii) through (v), collectively, the "<u>Severance Benefits</u>").

Payments and benefits provided in this <u>Section 4(d)</u> shall be in lieu of any termination or severance payments or benefits for which the Executive may be eligible under any of the plans, policies or programs of the Company or under the Worker Adjustment Retraining Notification Act of 1988 or any similar state statute or regulation. Following the termination of the Executive's employment by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason, except as set forth in this <u>Section 4(d)</u>, the Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Termination by the Company without Cause; Termination by the Executive for Good Reason during the CIC Protection Period</u>. The Company may terminate the Executive's employment without Cause with 60days' prior written notice, effective upon the date specified in such notice. The Executive may terminate the Executive's employment for Good Reason by providing the Company written notice in the manner set forth below. In the event that during the Term the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (other than due to the Executive's death or Disability), by the Executive for Good Reason, in each such case, during the CIC Protection Period (as defined below) (each, a "<u>CIC Qualifying Termination</u>"), and, in each case, subject to Section <u>4(g)</u> (other than with respect to any Accrued Benefits, which are not subject to <u>Section 4(g)</u>), the Executive shall be entitled to all payments and benefits to which he would otherwise be entitled under <u>Section 4(d)</u> above at the time specified in <u>Section 4(d)</u> above, except that (i) the Severance Payment shall instead be equal to two-times the sum of (x) the Executive's Base Salary (without giving effect to any reduction or series of reductions giving rise to Good Reason) plus (y) Target Annual Bonus (without giving effect to any reduction or series of reductions giving rise to Good Reason); (ii) if the Change in Control is a "change in control event" as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, the Severance Payment (as calculated in accordance with Section 4(e)(i)) shall be payable in a lump sum on the 60<sup>th</sup> day following the Termination Date; and (iii) the Pro Rata Annual Bonus shall be calculated based on "target" level performance and paid on the 60<sup>th</sup> day following the Termination Date.

The "<u>CIC Protection Period</u>" means the period beginning on a Change in Control and ending 24 months after a Change in Control.

Payments and benefits provided in this <u>Section 4(e)</u> shall be in lieu of any termination or severance payments or benefits for which the Executive may be eligible under any of the plans, policies or programs of the Company or under the Worker Adjustment Retraining Notification Act of 1988 or any similar state statute or regulation. Following the termination of the Executive's employment by the Company without Cause (other than death or Disability) or by the Executive for Good Reason, in each case, during the CIC Protection Period, except as set forth in this <u>Section 5(e)</u>, the Executive will not be entitled to any other compensation and benefits. For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no duplication of benefits as between Section 5(d) and Section 5(e) of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Termination by the Executive without Good Reason;</u> The Executive may terminate the Executive's employment without Good Reason by providing 30 days' prior written notice to the Company. The Company may, in its sole discretion, make the Termination Date effective earlier than specified in any notice date, so long as, during any waived portion of the notice period, the Company continues to (i) pay to the Executive the Base Salary and (ii) provide to the Executive the existing benefits in accordance with the terms of the applicable plans. Upon the Executive's voluntary termination of employment pursuant to this Section 4(f), the Executive shall be entitled only to the Accrued Benefits (but excluding any amount provided for under Section 4(b)(iv)). Following any such termination of the Executive's employment, except as set forth in this <u>Section 4(f)</u>, the Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) <u>Release of Claims; Continued Compliance</u>. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the payment and provision of the Severance Benefits pursuant to <u>Section 4(d) or (e)</u> (in each case, other than the Accrued Benefits) shall be conditioned upon the Executive's execution, delivery to the Company, and non-revocation of a general release of claims (the "<u>Release</u>") (and the expiration of any revocation period contained in such Release) within 52 days following the termination date. If the Executive fails to execute the Release in such a timely manner so as to permit any revocation period to expire prior to the end of such 52-day period, or timely revokes the Executive's such release following its execution, the Executive shall not be entitled to any of the Severance Benefits. During such time that the Executive is receiving Severance Benefits pursuant to <u>Section 4(d)</u> or <u>(e)</u>, if the Executive materially breaches any restrictive covenant set forth in <u>Section 5</u> (and such breach is not cured, to the extent susceptible of cure (as determined in the Board's good faith discretion), within 30 days following the Company's written notice thereof to the Executive), the Executive's right to receive or retain the Severance Benefits shall immediately cease and be forfeited.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) <u>No Offset</u>. In the event of termination of the Executive's employment, the Executive shall be under no obligation to seek other employment, and there shall be no offset against amounts due to the Executive on account of any remuneration or benefits provided by any subsequent employment the Executive may obtain. The Company's obligation to make any payment pursuant to, and otherwise to perform its obligations under, this Agreement shall not be affected by any offset, counterclaim or other right that the Company or any other member of the Company Group may have against the Executive for any reason.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **Restrictive Covenants.** The Company and the Executive acknowledge and agree that during the Executive's employment/service with the Company, the Executive will have access to and may assist in developing Confidential Information and will occupy a position of trust and confidence with respect to the affairs and business of the Company Group. The Executive further acknowledges that (i) the Executive will perform services of a unique nature for the Company that are irreplaceable, and that the Executive's performance of such services to a competing business will result in irreparable harm to the Company Group; (ii) the Executive will have access to Confidential Information that, if disclosed, would unfairly and inappropriately assist in competition against the Company Group; (iii) in the course of the Executive's employment by, or other service with, a competitor, the Executive could use or disclose such Confidential Information; (iv) members of the Company Group have substantial relationships with their customers, and the Executive will have access to these customers; (v) the Executive will receive specialized training from the Company and other members of the Company Group; and (vi) the Executive will generate goodwill for the Company and other members of the Company Group in the course of the Executive's employment/service. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that the following obligations are necessary to preserve the confidential and proprietary nature of Confidential Information and to protect the Company Group against harmful solicitation of employees and customers, harmful competition and other actions by the Executive that would result in serious adverse consequences for the Company Group:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Confidentiality</u>. At all times during the Executive's service with the Company and thereafter, the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, use, make available, sell, copy, disseminate, transfer, communicate or otherwise disclose any Confidential Information, other than as authorized in writing by the Company or within the scope of the Executive's duties with the Company as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Executive. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of this <u>Section 6(a)</u> shall not apply to information that (i) was known to the public prior to its disclosure to the Executive; (ii) becomes generally known to the public subsequent to disclosure to the Executive through no wrongful act of the Executive or any representative of the Executive; or (iii) the Executive is required to disclose by applicable law, regulation or legal process (<u>provided</u> that the Executive provides the Company with prior notice of the contemplated disclosure and cooperates with the Company at its expense in seeking a protective order or other appropriate protection of such information).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Materials</u>. The Executive will use Confidential Information only for normal and customary use in the Company's business, as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Company. The Executive will return to the Company all Confidential Information and copies thereof and all other property of the Company or any other member of the Company Group at any time promptly following the request of the Company. The Executive agrees to identify and return to the Company (or destroy) any copies of any Confidential Information after the Executive ceases to be employed by the Company. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, nothing in this <u>Section 6</u> shall prevent the Executive from retaining a laptop (<u>provided</u> all Confidential Information has been removed), papers and other materials of a personal nature, including diaries, calendars and contact lists, information relating to the Executive's compensation or relating to reimbursement of expenses, information that may be needed for tax purposes, and copies of plans, programs and agreements relating to the Executive's employment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Noncompetition; Nonsolicitation</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) During the Restricted Period, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, associate (including, but not limited to, association as a sole proprietor, owner, employer, partner, principal, investor, joint venturer, shareholder, associate, employee, member, consultant, contractor, director or otherwise) with any Competitive Enterprise; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Executive may (A) own, as a passive investor, securities of any such entity that has outstanding publicly traded securities, so long as the Executive's direct or indirect holdings in any such entity shall not in the aggregate constitute more than 2% of the voting power of such entity, and (B) provide services to a portfolio company of a financial sponsor that does not constitute a Competitive Enterprise, irrespective of whether such financial sponsor owns other portfolio companies that do constitute Competitive Enterprises, so long as the Executive does not engage in or assist in the activities of any such portfolio company that is a Competitive Enterprise. The Executive acknowledges that this covenant has a unique, very substantial and immeasurable value to the Company Group, that the Executive has sufficient assets and skills to provide a livelihood for the Executive while such covenant remains in force, and that, as a result of the foregoing, in the event that the Executive breaches such covenant, monetary damages would be an insufficient remedy for the Company and equitable enforcement of the covenant would be proper.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) During the Restricted Period, the Executive shall not solicit, entice, persuade or induce any individual who is employed or engaged by any member of the Company Group (or who was so employed or engaged within 12 months immediately preceding the Termination Date) to terminate or refrain from continuing such employment or engagement or to become employed by or enter into contractual relations with any other individual or entity other than a member of the Company Group, and the Executive shall not hire, directly or indirectly, on the Executive's behalf or on behalf of any other person, as an employee, consultant or otherwise, any such person; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Executive will not be in breach of this <u>Section 6(c)(ii)</u> for (A) general solicitations not targeted at employees engaged with the Company Group and (B) responding to an unsolicited request to serve as a business reference for a former employee of the Company Group to the extent the Executive does not encourage the former employee to become employed by a person or entity that employs the Executive or with which the Executive is otherwise associated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Nondisparagement</u>. The Executive agrees not to, at any time, disparage any member of the Company Group or any officer, director, or significant stakeholder of any member of the Company Group, other than in the good faith performance of the Executive's duties to the Company while the Executive is providing services to the Company. The foregoing shall not be violated by truthful statements in response to legal process, required governmental testimony or filings, or administrative or arbitral proceedings (including, without limitation, depositions in connection with such proceedings).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Inventions</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Executive acknowledges and agrees that all ideas, methods, inventions, discoveries, improvements, work products, developments, software, know-how, processes, techniques, works of authorship and other work product, whether patentable or unpatentable, (A) that are reduced to practice, created, invented, designed, developed, contributed to or improved with the use of any Company resources and/or within the scope of the Executive's work with the Company, or that relate to the business, operations or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company, and that are made or conceived by the Executive, solely or jointly with others, during the Term, or (B) suggested by any work that the Executive performs in connection with the Company, either while performing the Executive's duties with the Company or on the Executive's own time, in any such case, during the Term shall belong exclusively to the Company (or its designee), whether or not patent or other applications for intellectual property protection are filed thereon (the "<u>Inventions</u>"). The Executive will keep full and complete written records (the "<u>Records</u>"), in the manner prescribed by the Company, of all Inventions and will promptly disclose all Inventions completely and in writing to the Company. The Records shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company, and the Executive will surrender them promptly following the termination of the Term, or promptly following the Company's earlier written request. The Executive irrevocably conveys, transfers and assigns to the Company the Inventions and all patents or other intellectual property rights that may issue thereon in any and all countries, whether during or subsequent to the Term, together with the right to file, in the Executive's name or in the name of the Company (or its designee), applications for patents and equivalent rights (the "<u>Applications</u>"). The Executive will, at any time during and subsequent to the Term, make such applications, sign such papers, take all rightful oaths and perform all other acts as may be requested from time to time by the Company to perfect, record, enforce, protect, patent or register the Company's rights in the Inventions, all without additional compensation to the Executive from the Company. The Executive will also execute assignments to the Company (or its designee) of the Applications, and give the Company and its attorneys all reasonable assistance (including the giving of testimony) to obtain the Inventions for the Company's benefit, all without additional compensation to the Executive from the Company, but entirely at the Company's expense.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) In addition, the Inventions will be deemed "works made for hire," as such term is defined under the copyright laws of the United States ("<u>Work for Hire</u>"), on behalf of the Company, and the Executive agrees that the Company will be the sole owner of the Inventions, and all underlying rights therein, in all media now known or hereinafter devised, throughout the universe and in perpetuity without any further obligations to the Executive. If the Inventions, or any portion thereof, are deemed not to be Work for Hire, or the rights in such Inventions do not otherwise automatically vest in the Company, the Executive hereby irrevocably conveys, transfers and assigns to the Company all rights, in all media now known or hereinafter devised, throughout the universe and in perpetuity, in and to the Inventions, including, without limitation, all of the Executive's right, title and interest in the copyrights (and all renewals, revivals and extensions thereof) to the Inventions, including, without limitation, all rights of any kind or any nature now or hereafter recognized, including, without limitation, the unrestricted right to make modifications, adaptations and revisions to the Inventions, to exploit and allow others to exploit the Inventions and all rights to sue at law or in equity for any infringement, or other unauthorized use or conduct in derogation of the Inventions, known or unknown, prior to the date hereof, including, without limitation, the right to receive all proceeds and damages therefrom. In addition, the Executive hereby waives any so-called "moral rights" with respect to the Inventions. To the extent that the Executive has any rights in the results and proceeds of the Executive's service to the Company that cannot be assigned in the manner described herein, the Executive agrees to unconditionally waive the enforcement of such rights. The Executive hereby waives any and all currently existing and future monetary rights in and to the Inventions and all patents and other registrations for intellectual property that may issue thereon, including, without limitation, any rights that would otherwise accrue to the Executive's benefit by virtue of the Executive being an employee of or other service provider to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) provides: "An individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that—(A) is made—(i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal." Nothing in this Agreement is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b). Accordingly, the parties to this Agreement have the right to disclose in confidence trade secrets to federal, state and local government officials, or to an attorney, for the sole purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law. The parties also have the right to disclose trade secrets in a document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, but only if the filing is made under seal and protected from public disclosure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Conflicting Obligations and Rights</u>. The Executive agrees to inform the Company of any apparent conflicts between the Executive's work for the Company and any obligations the Executive may have to preserve the confidentiality of another's proprietary information or related materials before using the same on the Company's behalf. The Company shall receive such disclosures in confidence and consistent with the objectives of avoiding any conflict of obligations and rights or the appearance of any conflict of interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) <u>Reasonableness of Restrictive Covenants</u>. In signing this Agreement, the Executive gives the Company assurance that the Executive has carefully read and considered all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the restraints imposed under this <u>Section 6</u>. The Executive agrees that these restraints are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the Company and the other members of the Company Group and their Confidential Information, and that each and every one of the restraints is reasonable in respect to subject matter, length of time and geographic area, and that these restraints, individually or in the aggregate, will not prevent the Executive from obtaining other suitable employment during the period in which the Executive is bound by the restraints. The Executive acknowledges that each of these covenants has a unique, very substantial and immeasurable value to the Company and the other members of the Company Group, and that the Executive has sufficient assets and skills to provide a livelihood while such covenants remain in force. The Executive further covenants that the Executive will not challenge the reasonableness or enforceability of any of the covenants set forth in this <u>Section 6</u>. It is also agreed that each member of the Company Group will have the right to enforce all of the Executive's obligations to any other member of the Company Group under this Agreement, including without limitation pursuant to this <u>Section 6</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) <u>Reformation</u>. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any state that any restriction in this <u>Section 6</u> is excessive in duration or scope or is unreasonable or unenforceable under applicable law, it is the intention of the parties that such restriction may be modified or amended by the court to render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the laws of that state.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>Enforcement; Tolling</u>. The Executive acknowledges that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this <u>Section 6</u>, the business interests of the Company and the other members of the Company Group will be irreparably injured, the full extent of the damages to the Company and the other members of the Company Group will be impossible to ascertain, monetary damages will not be an adequate remedy for the Company and the other members of the Company Group, and the Company will be entitled to enforce this Agreement by a temporary, preliminary and/or permanent injunction or other equitable relief, without the necessity of posting bond or security, which the Executive expressly waives. The Executive understands that the Board may, in its discretion, waive some of the requirements expressed in this Agreement, but that such a waiver to be effective must be made in writing and should not in any way be deemed a waiver of the Company's right to enforce any other requirements or provisions of this Agreement. The Executive agrees that each of the Executive's obligations specified in this Agreement is a separate and independent covenant and that the unenforceability of any of them shall not preclude the enforcement of any other covenants in this Agreement. In the event of any violation of the provisions of <u>Section 6(c)</u>, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Restricted Period shall be extended by a period of time equal to the period of such violation, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the running of the Restricted Period shall be tolled during any period of such violation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **Cooperation**. Upon the receipt of reasonable notice from the Company (including through outside counsel), the Executive agrees that, while employed by the Company and for a period of 24 months thereafter, the Executive will respond and provide information with regard to matters in which the Executive has knowledge as a result of the Executive's employment or service with the Company, and will, subject to his reasonable availability in light of other business and personal matters, provide reasonable assistance to the Company, other members of the Company Group and their respective representatives, in defense of any claims that may be made against the Company or any other member of the Company Group, and will assist the Company and other members of the Company Group in the prosecution of any claims that may be made by the Company or any other member of the Company Group, to the extent that such claims are based on facts occurring during the Executive's employment with the Company (collectively, the "<u>Claims</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **Indemnification**. During the Term and thereafter, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold the Executive and the Executive's heirs and representatives harmless, to the maximum extent permitted by law, against any and all damages, costs, liabilities, losses and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses) as a result of any claim or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative), or any threatened claim or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative), against the Executive that arises out of or relates to the Executive's service as an officer, director or employee, as the case may be, of the Company, or the Executive's service in any such capacity or similar capacity with an affiliate of the Company or other entity at the request of the Company, and to promptly advance to the Executive or the Executive's heirs or representatives such fees and expenses upon written request with appropriate documentation of such expense upon receipt of an undertaking by the Executive or on the Executive's behalf to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the Executive is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. During the Term and at all times thereafter during which the Executive may be subject to claims in respect of his service to the Company Group, the Company also shall provide the Executive with coverage under its current directors' and officers' liability policy to the same extent that it provides such coverage to its other directors and executive officers. If the Executive has any knowledge of any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, as to which the Executive may request indemnity under this provision, the Executive will give the Company prompt written notice thereof; <u>provided</u> that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the Executive's right to indemnification. The Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such proceeding and the Executive will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such defense. To the extent that the Executive in good faith determines that there is an actual or potential conflict of interest between the Company and the Executive in connection with the defense of a proceeding, the Executive shall so notify the Company and shall be entitled to separate representation at the Company's expense by counsel selected by the Executive (<u>provided</u> that the Company may reasonably object to the selection of counsel within ten business days after notification thereof), which counsel shall cooperate, and coordinate the defense, with the Company's counsel and minimize the expense of such separate representation to the extent consistent with the Executive's separate defense. This <u>Section 8</u> shall continue in effect after the termination of the Executive's employment or the termination of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. **Whistleblower Protection; Protected Activity.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted so as to impede the Executive (or any other individual) from reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, including, but not limited to, the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, Congress and any agency Inspector General, or making other disclosures under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. The Executive does not need the prior authorization of the Company to make any such reports or disclosures, and the Executive shall not be required to notify the Company that such reports or disclosures have been made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall in any way limit or prohibit the Executive from engaging for a lawful purpose in any Protected Activity. For purposes of this Agreement, "<u>Protected Activity</u>" shall mean (i) filing a charge, complaint or report with, or otherwise communicating with, cooperating with or participating in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by, any federal, state or local government agency or commission, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Labor, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the National Labor Relations Board (the "<u>Government Agencies</u>"), or (ii) any rights the Executive may have under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act or equivalent state law to engage in concerted protected activity or to discuss the terms of employment or working conditions with or on behalf of coworkers, or to bring such issues to the attention of the Board at any time. The Executive understands that in connection with such Protected Activity, the Executive is permitted to disclose documents or other information as permitted by law, and without giving notice to, or receiving authorization from, the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive agrees to take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure of any information that may constitute Confidential Information to any parties other than the relevant Government Agencies. The Executive further understands that Protected Activity does not include the disclosure of any Company attorney-client privileged communications, and that any such disclosure without the Company's written consent shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. **Notices.** All notices, demands, requests or other communications, which may be or are required to be given or made by any party to any other party pursuant to this Agreement, shall be in writing and shall be hand delivered, mailed by first-class registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, delivered by overnight air courier, or transmitted by e-mail addressed as follows:

Each party may designate by notice in writing a new address or email address to which any notice, demand, request or communication may thereafter be so given, served or sent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. **Severability**. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in such jurisdiction or the validity, legality or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction, it being intended that all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. If any term or provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalid or unenforceable term or provision hereof shall be deemed replaced by a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. **Survival.** It is the express intention and agreement of the parties hereto that the provisions of <u>Sections 6</u> through <u>22</u> shall survive the termination of employment of the Executive.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. **No Assignments.** The rights and obligations of the parties to this Agreement shall not be assignable or delegable, except that (a) in the event of the Executive's death, the personal representative or legatees or distributees of the Executive's estate, as the case may be, shall have the right to receive any amount owing and unpaid to the Executive hereunder; and (b) the rights and obligations of the Company hereunder shall be assignable and delegable in connection with any subsequent merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets or equity interests of the Company or similar transaction involving the Company or a successor corporation. The Company shall require any successor to the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. **Binding Effect.** Subject to any provisions hereof restricting assignment, this Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, devisees, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. **Section Headings; Inconsistency.** Section and subsection headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only, shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement for any purpose, and shall not in any way define or affect the meaning, construction or scope of any of the provisions hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. **Governing Law.** This Agreement, the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, and any claims or disputes relating thereto, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (but not including any choice of law rule thereof that would cause the laws of another jurisdiction to apply).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. **Dispute Resolution.** Except for the rights to seek specific performance provided in <u>Section 6</u>, any other dispute arising out of or asserting breach of this Agreement, or any statutory or common law claim by the Executive relating to the Executive's employment under this Agreement or the termination thereof (including any tort or discrimination claim), shall be exclusively resolved by binding statutory arbitration in accordance with the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Such arbitration process shall take place in Connecticut (or such other U.S. state as may be mutually agreed to by both the Company and the Executive). A court of competent jurisdiction may enter judgment upon the arbitrator's award. All costs and expenses of arbitration (other than fees and disbursements of counsel) shall be borne by the Company. Fees and disbursements of counsel shall be borne by the respective party incurring such costs and expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. **Entire Agreement.** This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties respecting the employment of the Executive, there being no representations, warranties or commitments except as set forth herein, and supersedes and replaces all other agreements related to the subject matter hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19. **Counterparts.** This Agreement may be executed (including by e-mail with scan attachment) in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20. **Withholding.** The Company shall withhold from any and all amounts payable under this Agreement or otherwise such federal, state and local taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, and all payments under this Agreement shall be in amounts net of any such deductions or withholdings; *provided* that clause (3) of Section 3(d)(ii) shall apply with respect to any RSUs, PSUs or similar awards granted to the Executive by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21. **Code Sections 409A and 280G.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Section 409A</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>General</u>. The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with, or be exempt from, Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively, "<u>Code Section 409A</u>"), and accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith or exempt therefrom.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) <u>Separation from Service</u>. A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits that constitute "nonqualified deferred compensation" upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a "separation from service" within the meaning of Code Section 409A, and for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a "termination," "termination of employment" or like terms shall mean "separation from service." If the Executive is deemed on the Termination Date to be a "specified employee" within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that is considered deferred compensation under Code Section 409A payable on account of a "separation from service," such payment or benefit shall be made or provided at the date that is the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of such "separation from service" of the Executive, and (ii) the date of the Executive's death, to the extent required under Code Section 409A. Upon the expiration of the foregoing delay period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this <u>Section 22(a)(ii)</u> (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to the Executive in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) <u>Reimbursements and In-Kind Benefits</u>. To the extent that reimbursements or other in-kind benefits under this Agreement constitute "nonqualified deferred compensation" for purposes of Code Section 409A, (i) all expenses or other reimbursements hereunder shall be made on or prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses were incurred by the Executive, (ii) any right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (iii) no such reimbursement, expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided in any taxable year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) <u>Installment Payments</u>. For purposes of Code Section 409A, the Executive's right to receive any installment payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days, the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) <u>No Offset</u>. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any payment under this Agreement that constitutes "nonqualified deferred compensation" for purposes of Code Section 409A be subject to offset by any other amount unless otherwise permitted by Code Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Section 280G</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) If any payment or benefit the Executive will or may receive from the Company or any of its Affiliates under this Agreement or otherwise (a "<u>280G Payment</u>") would (x) constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the "<u>Code</u>"), and (y) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the "<u>Excise Tax</u>"), then each such 280G Payment (collectively, the "<u>Payments</u>") shall be reduced to the extent necessary for the Payments to equal, in the aggregate, the Reduced Amount. The "<u>Reduced Amount</u>" shall be either (1) the largest portion of the Payments that would result in no Excise Tax on the Payments (after reduction), or (2) the total Payments, whichever amount (*i.e.*, the amount determined by clause (1) or by clause (2)), after taking into account all applicable federal, state, and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in the Executive's receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater economic benefit notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in the Payments is required pursuant to the preceding sentence and the Reduced Amount is determined pursuant to clause (1) of the preceding sentence, the reduction shall occur in the manner (the "<u>Reduction Method</u>") that results in the greatest economic benefit for Executive. If more than one method of reduction will result in the same economic benefit, the items so reduced will be reduced pro rata (the "<u>Pro Rata Reduction Method</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Notwithstanding any provision of Section 22(b)(i) to the contrary, if the Reduction Method or the Pro Rata Reduction Method would cause any portion of the Payments to be subject to taxes pursuant to Section 409A, and any state law of similar effect that would not otherwise be subject to taxes pursuant to Section 409A, then the Reduction Method and/or the Pro Rata Reduction Method, as the case may be, shall be modified so as to avoid the imposition of taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A as follows: (x) as a first priority, the modification shall preserve to the greatest extent possible, the greatest economic benefit for Executive as determined on an after-tax basis; (y) as a second priority, Payments that are contingent on future events shall be reduced (or eliminated) before Payments that are not contingent on future events; and (z) as a third priority, Payments that are "deferred compensation" within the meaning of Section 409A shall be reduced (or eliminated) before Payments that are not deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The Company shall appoint a nationally recognized accounting firm, law firm or consultancy to make the determinations required by this Section 22(b) and shall, to the extent consistent with Section 280G of the Code, all reductions to the value of payments that might otherwise qualify as a "parachute payments" under such Section (including the value of noncompetition restrictions and reasonable compensation for pre- and post-change in control services). The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm, law firm or consultancy required to be made hereunder.

## Exhibit 10.2

**Exhibit 10.2**

**<u>INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR AGREEMENT</u>**

**INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR AGREEMENT** (this "***Agreement***") by and between Datacentrex, Inc. (f/k/a Thumzup Media Corporation), a Nevada corporation ("***DTCX***") and ______________ an individual ("***Nominee***").

**WHEREAS**, DTCX has undertaken a merger (the "***Merger***") involving Dogehash Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "***Company***"); and

**WHEREAS**, DTCX desires to attract and retain directors to serve on its Board of Directors and, following the Merger, who will consent to serve on the Board of Directors of DTCX (the "***Board***"); and

**WHEREAS**, DTCX believes that Nominee possesses valuable qualifications and abilities to serve as a director of DTCX following the Merger.

**NOW, THEREFORE**, the parties agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1. <u>Service to the Board</u>.** 

(*a) <u>Service as a Director</u>.* Nominee consents to serve as a member of the Board of Directors of DTCX if elected or appointed.

Nominee agrees that upon appointment or election he will dutifully perform his responsibilities as a director in good faith, in accordance with applicable law, and in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation, bylaws and other policy and procedures applicable to such service. Nominee shall resign from the Board of Directors of DTCX upon the request of the Chairman of the Board or Chief Executive.

Nominee understands that this Agreement does not constitute an offer to serve as a director of DTCX, or as an employee, or in any other capacity and that appointment shall only occur by vote of the board of directors or shareholders of DTCX. Nominee understands and agrees DTCX will request a background check consisting of a criminal history and other background checks to be used solely for DTCX-related purposes and understands an offer and any position will be contingent on the receipt and evaluation of the background check report. I have provided my social security number and date of birth to permit a background check to be performed. If appointed to any position with DTCX, I understand my consent will apply throughout my tenure to the extent permitted by law, including inclusion in all SEC filings and reports. I consent to the release of criminal, history and other reports to DTCX and the Company.

(*b) <u>Service on Committees</u>.* Nominee will serve on the following committees and in the capacities stated:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Committee Type** | **Member** | **Member/Chairman** |
| **Audit Committee** | Christopher Ensey, Allan T. Evans | Christopher Moe |
| **Compensation Committee** | Christopher Ensey, Christopher Moe | Allan T. Evans |
| **Nominating Committee** | Christopher Moe, Allan T. Evans | Christopher Ensey |

---

To the extent Nominee serves as Audit Committee Chairperson, Nominee represents that Nominee possesses the necessary skills and experience by which he is qualified to serve as a qualified financial expert for purposes of such position, and before the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("***SEC***").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2. <u>Compensation and Expenses</u>.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *<u>Compensation</u>.* DTCX (upon the consummation of the Merger) agrees to adopt or has adopted compensation plans for directors applicable to Nominee, in the event Nominee becomes a director, as follows:

● Effective on January 1, 2026 an Initial Equity award will be granted under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "**Plan**") of DTCX, as follows.

● Each independent non-employee director shall be entitled to receive 103,550 shares of restricted common stock which is equal to or in excess of Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan), in each case, on such terms and subject to such conditions (including as to vesting and surrender) as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

● A Director may request in advance of such award date in writing, that the award otherwise issuable to Nominee pursuant to this Agreement under the Plan may instead be issued to an entity wholly-owned by Nominee with the approval of the Company, (which shall remain wholly-owned by nominee for so long as such award is outstanding and unvested) (the "**Equity Recipient** "), subject to any joinder or other agreement under which the entity shall be subject to all conditions of the award. Any such issuance shall be deemed issued in respect of Nominee's service as a director for all purposes under this Agreement, the Plan, and applicable law.

● Awards will vest one-third (1/3) on June 1, 2026 and one-third (1/3) on June 1, 2027 and one-third (1/3) on June 1, 2028 provided the Nominee continues to serve as a Director of the Company and each additional condition of award as determined by the Board of Directors (or Compensation Committee) is then satisfied.

● Thereafter, an Annual Equity award of shares of restricted stock in the notional amount of $190,000 is anticipated to be made under the Plan, at such times and subject to such additional terms and conditions as determined by the Board of Directors (or Compensation Committee) at the time of award.

● Annual Cash compensation totaling $30,000 dollars commencing January 1, 2026 paid in accordance with DTCX normal payroll practices as 1099 income shall be paid each Nominee during the duration of service as a Director.

● In addition, the cash compensation per year will be increased for each member sitting on or chairing the following boards:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| Committee Type | Member | Chair |
| Audit | $10000 | $20000 |
| Compensation | $7500 | $15000 |
| Nominating / Governance | $5000 | $10000 |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *<u>Expenses</u>.* DTCX shall reimburse Nominee for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses, including travel, incurred in connection with the performance of Nominee's duties as a director on behalf of DTCX (or the Company) ("***Expenses***"), upon submission of adequate documentation therefor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *<u>Insurance</u>*. DTCX presently maintains a policy of directors' and officers' insurance coverage with a liability limit of $5,000,000 ("***D&O Insurance***") and intends to immediately reassess appropriate liability caps for the Company following the Merger, which will be discussed at the first board meeting. In the event any notice of termination or significant change in coverage or terms of D&O Insurance are received by DTCX (or Company), prompt written notice shall be provided Nominee for so long as he serves as a director of DTCX (or Company) and during any subsequent period during which Nominee may be entitled to the benefit of such D&O Insurance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) No Assignment of Fiduciary Duties. Nominee acknowledges and agrees that all duties, obligations, fiduciary responsibilities, indemnification rights, and D&O insurance coverage arising from Nominee's service as a director of DTCX are personal to Nominee and shall not be assigned to, or assumed by, the Equity Recipient. The Equity Recipient shall have no rights, duties, or obligations as a director of DTCX nor any benefits inuring from the Nominee's service or position as a director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3. <u>Confidentiality</u>.** Nominee acknowledges that Director shall be obtaining access to certain confidential information concerning the DTCX, the Company and its plans and affairs, including, but not limited to cryptocurrency mining, colocation facilities, business methods, systems, scheduling, financial data and strategic plans which are unique assets ("***Confidential Information***"). Nominee covenants and agrees to not, directly or indirectly, in any manner, utilize or disclose to any person, firm or entity, such Confidential Information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4. <u>Termination</u>**. This Agreement shall terminate upon resignation or removal of Nominee as a director of DTCX, provided that any provision of this Agreement not capable of performance prior to termination shall survive, shall survive such termination for the period necessary for performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5. <u>Assignment</u>**. Company agrees to use its best efforts to cause DTCX to assume the obligations of DTCX hereunder at the first meeting of directors following the Merger. The rights and benefits of the Company under this Agreement may be assigned by DTCX, and the covenants and agreements hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by or against, its successors and assigns. The duties and obligations of Nominee under this Agreement are personal and therefore Nominee may not assign any right or duty under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company and DTCX.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6. <u>Counterparts</u>.** This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one instrument. Facsimile execution and delivery of this Agreement is legal, valid and binding for all purposes.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and signed as of the day and year set forth.

As an inducement to Dogehash Technologies, Inc.. (the *"*<u>Compan</u>y"), to enter into that certain contemplated Merger Agreement (the "<u>Agreement</u>") with Thumzup Media, Inc. ("<u>TMI</u>") and as a condition thereto, under which the Company shall merge with and into TMI or a wholly-owned subsidiary thereof, or otherwise be acquired by TMI, which shall issue to the Company 18,750,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share of TMI ("<u>Common Stock</u>") or securities convertible into such shares of Common Stock (the "<u>Shares</u>" or the "<u>Securities</u>"), the undersigned hereby agrees (the "<u>Lock-Up Agreement</u>) that without, in each case, the prior written consent of the Company or Dominari Securities, LLC, during the period specified in the succeeding paragraphs (the "<u>Lock-Up Period</u>"), the undersigned will not: (1) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Shares or any securities convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive Shares (including, without limitation, Shares which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "<u>SEC</u>") and securities which may be issued upon exercise of warrants or a stock option) whether now owned or hereafter acquired (the "<u>Undersigned's Securities</u>") or (2) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Undersigned's Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the Undersigned's Securities even if such Undersigned's Securities would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include, without limitation, any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to any of the Undersigned's Securities or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from such Undersigned's Securities.

In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Company, it will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Shares or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares.

The Lock-Up Period shall mean the period commencing on the date of this Lock-Up Agreement and continue and include the date one hundred and eighty (180) days after the date of the issuance of the Shares as contemplated following the closing of the Agreement.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of Shares if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Lock-Up Agreement.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Lock-Up Agreement and that, upon request, the undersigned will execute any additional documents necessary in connection with the enforcement hereof. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred and any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs or personal Representatives of the undersigned.

The undersigned understands that the undersigned shall be released from all obligations under this Lock-Up Agreement if (i) the Company informs the other that it does not intend to proceed with the Agreement, (ii) the Agreement does not become effective or if the Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the common stock to be sold thereunder, or (iii) the Agreement is not completed by October 1, 2025 unless the Company and TMI agree to an extension in which case the date shall be extended to such date.

The undersigned understands that the Company is entering into the Agreement and proceeding with the Agreement in reliance upon this Lock-Up Agreement.

This Lock-Up Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without reference to principles of conflicts of laws.

Whether or not the Agreement closing actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any closing will only be made pursuant to the Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation among the parties thereto. I acknowledge that I am executing this Lock-Up Agreement undated and that the Company is authorized to fill in the date which will be the closing date of the issuance of shares pursuant to the Agreement. This Lock-Up Agreement will be held in escrow by the Company until the consummation of the transactions underlying the Agreement.

## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**Datacentrex Reports 48% Quarter-Over-Quarter Gross Profit Growth; Revenue Up 27%**

● Revenue grew to $4.5 Million from inception to September 30, 2025

● Revenue grew 27% Quarter-Over-Quarter

● Digital Asset Mining Infrastructure More Than Doubled Quarter-Over-Quarter

CARSON CITY, Nev., Dec. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Datacentrex, Inc. ("Datacentrex" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: DTCX), a diversified technology-driven enterprise, today reported the unaudited results of operations for its recently acquired wholly-owned subsidiary Dogehash Technologies, Inc. highlighted by a 48% third quarter-over-second quarter 2025 increase in gross profit to $1,450,986 from $977,066 for the three-month period ending September 30, 2025. This increase in gross profit was driven by expanded digital asset mining capacity combined with favorable spot prices of Dogecoin during the quarter.

Third Quarter 2025 Highlights (unaudited)

● Gross profit increased 48% quarter-over-quarter to $1.45 million

● Revenue grew 27% quarter-over-quarter to $2.45 million

● Active digital asset mining capacity more than doubled to approximately 3,100 miners

● Cash and digital assets holdings of the Company exceeded $47.5 million as of September 30, 2025

"During the third quarter, we successfully executed a significant expansion of our mining footprint, increasing our online mining footprint from approximately 1,500 to more than 3,100 at quarter end," said Parker Scott, Chief Executive Oicer of Datacentrex. "This disciplined deployment of additional capacity translated directly into meaningful gross profit growth. As we continue to optimize our infrastructure and power economics, we believe we are well positioned to drive sustainable shareholder value."

Revenues grew 27% quarter-over-quarter to $2,449,482 from $1,928,588 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher digital asset production resulting from the expanded mining fleet.

The company currently operates approximately 3,100 Scrypt ASIC miners across four diversified data centers in North America. An additional 1,000 ASIC miners are on order and expected to be deployed in the first half of 2026, which would expand the Company's mining fleet to more than 4,100 miners.

Datacentrex ended the quarter with a strong balance sheet, including more than $44 million in cash and over $3.5 million in digital assets, providing significant financial flexibility to support continued operational growth and strategic initiatives.

The Company expects continued growth in digital asset production through 2026, supported by energy-eicient hardware, low-cost power sourcing, and a scalable infrastructure footprint.
