Jason Kim

Dear Jason:

This letter agreement (this "**Agreement**") amends and restates the terms and conditions of your continued employment with Firefly Aerospace Inc. ("**Firefly**" or the "**Company**") as our Chief Executive Officer, and supersedes and replaces that certain letter agreement dated as of August 25, 2024 (the "**Prior Employment Letter**"). This Agreement outlines the core important aspects of your employment with Firefly, an "at-will" employer.

**<u>Title and Reporting Structure</u>**. In your capacity as our Chief Executive Officer, you will continue to report to the Chief Executive Officer.

**<u>Base Salary</u>.** Firefly will pay you a salary of **$500,000** on an annualized basis, subject to applicable tax withholding ("**Base Salary**"). Your salary will be payable pursuant to the Company's regular payroll policy in effect from time to time and is subject to review for increase, but not decrease, no less frequently than annually. This is an exempt position, meaning you will not be eligible for overtime compensation.

**<u>Short Term Incentive Compensation</u>.** During each fiscal year in which you are an employee of the Company you will also be eligible for an annual incentive bonus ("**STI**") with a target amount equal to **100%** of your Base Salary and paid upon the achievement of preestablished performance metrics and, in part, on your performance and the performance of the Company during the calendar year, as well as any other criteria the Chief Executive Officer or such other employee to whom you report deems relevant (collectively, such metrics, the "**Performance Metrics**"). Any STI earned for the preceding fiscal year will be paid on or before the last payday of the month following the finalization of the audit for that fiscal year end, and, except as otherwise set forth below, you must be employed on the payout date to receive payment of such STI.

**<u>Severance</u>.** Upon your execution of the Participation Agreement attached hereto as <u>Exhibit A</u>, you will become eligible to participate in the Company's Amended Executive Severance Plan, pursuant to the terms and conditions therein. You hereby agree that any termination payments or benefits to which you may be entitled to under the Amended Executive Severance Plan are in lieu of all prior severance benefit policies, plans, agreements and arrangements, including the Prior Employment Letter, and all such prior policies, plans, arrangements and communications are hereby null and void and of no further force and effect, solely with respect to your severance entitlements set forth therein.

**<u>Tax Withholding and Section</u> <u>409A</u>**. All amounts paid under this Agreement shall be paid less all applicable tax withholdings and any other withholdings required by law or authorized by you. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder (collectively, "**Section 409A**") and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to transfer any liability for any tax

------

Jason Kim

April 16, 2026

(including a tax or penalty due as a result of a failure to comply with Section 409A) from you to the Company or to any other individual or entity. To the extent necessary to avoid adverse tax consequences under Section 409A, any payment that is subject to Section 409A and that is contingent on a termination of employment is contingent on a "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A. Each installment payment required under this Agreement shall be considered a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. If, upon separation from service, you are a "specified employee" within the meaning of Section 409A, any payment under this Agreement that is subject to Section 409A and would otherwise be paid within six months after your separation from service will instead be paid in the seventh month following your separation from service (to the extent required by Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i)).

**<u>Employee Benefits - Group Plans</u>**. As a regular full-time employee, you have the opportunity to participate in the standard benefit plans that Firefly offers to other similarly situated employees, subject to the terms and provisions of such plans including applicable waiting periods. Details about these benefits are available for your review. Firefly offers medical, dental, and vision insurance and 401k. With the exception of the employment at-will policy discussed below, the Company may, from time to time in its sole discretion, modify or eliminate its policies and the benefits offered to employees.

**Employee Proprietary Information Agreement.** As an employee of the Company, you have become knowledgeable about the Company's confidential and trade secret information relating to operations, products, and services. To continue to protect the Company's interests, you reaffirm your entry into the Company's Employee Proprietary Information Agreement (as mutually amended or superseded from time to time, the "**EPIA**"), executed by you prior to or on your start date with the Company. The EPIA provides for the arbitration of all disputes arising out of your employment and you reaffirm the mutual promise to arbitrate disputes described therein. The EPIA also contains certain restrictive covenants prohibiting you from soliciting the Company's employees, interfering with the Company's customers, and competing with the Company, each on the terms and conditions set forth in the EPIA (collectively, including the terms and conditions thereof, the "**Restrictive Covenants**"). By accepting this Agreement, you acknowledge that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable and necessary to protect the Company's legitimate business interests and that the terms and conditions of the Restrictive Covenants are fair and reasonable.

**At-Will Employment**. Please understand that this Agreement does not constitute a contract of employment for any specific length of time but instead continues an "at will" relationship which may be terminated with or without cause and with or without notice at any time by you or the Company, subject to the rights and benefits set forth in this Agreement. Further, your continued employment as well as your participation in any benefit programs does not assure you of continuing employment with the Company. This policy of at-will employment is the entire agreement as to the duration of your employment and may only be modified in an express written agreement approved by the Board of Directors of Firefly and signed by an officer of the Company.

**Miscellaneous.** This Agreement, and any documents referenced herein, sets forth the entire terms of your employment with the Company and supersedes any prior representations or agreements, whether written or oral, including the Prior Employment Letter. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of Texas, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

**Amendment**. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by a written agreement signed by an officer of the Company.

Your salary will be payable pursuant to the Company's regular payroll policy in effect from time to time and is subject to review for increase, but not decrease, no less frequently than annually. This is an exempt position, meaning you will not be eligible for overtime compensation.

**<u>Short Term Incentive Compensation</u>.** During each fiscal year in which you are an employee of the Company you will also be eligible for an annual incentive bonus ("**STI**") with a target amount equal to **50%** of your Base Salary and paid upon the achievement of preestablished performance metrics and, in part, on your performance and the performance of the Company during the calendar year, as well as any other criteria the Chief Executive Officer or such other employee to whom you report deems relevant (collectively, such metrics, the "**Performance Metrics**"). Any STI earned for the preceding fiscal year will be paid on or before the last payday of the month following the finalization of the audit for that fiscal year end, and, except as otherwise set forth below, you must be employed on the payout date to receive payment of such STI.

**<u>Severance</u>.** Upon your execution of the Participation Agreement attached hereto as <u>Exhibit A</u>, you will become eligible to participate in the Company's Amended Executive Severance Plan, pursuant to the terms and conditions therein. You hereby agree that any termination payments or benefits to which you may be entitled to under the Amended Executive Severance Plan are in lieu of all prior severance benefit policies, plans, agreements and arrangements, including the Prior Employment Letter, and all such prior policies, plans, arrangements and communications are hereby null and void and of no further force and effect, solely with respect to your severance entitlements set forth therein.

**<u>Tax Withholding and Section</u> <u>409A</u>**. All amounts paid under this Agreement shall be paid less all applicable tax withholdings and any other withholdings required by law or authorized by you. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder (collectively, "**Section 409A**") and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to transfer any liability for any tax (including a tax or penalty due as a result of a failure to comply with Section 409A) from you to the Company or to any other individual or entity. To the extent necessary to avoid adverse tax consequences under Section 409A, any payment that is subject to Section 409A and that is contingent on a termination of employment is contingent on a "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A. Each installment payment required under this Agreement shall be considered a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. If, upon separation from service, you are a "specified employee" within the meaning of Section 409A, any payment under this Agreement that is subject to Section 409A and would otherwise be paid within six months after your separation from service will instead be paid in the seventh month following your separation from service (to the extent required by Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i)).

**<u>Employee Benefits - Group Plans</u>**. As a regular full-time employee, you have the opportunity to participate in the standard benefit plans that Firefly offers to other similarly situated employees, subject to the terms and provisions of such plans including applicable waiting periods. Details about these benefits are available for your review. Firefly offers medical, dental, and vision insurance and 401k. With the exception of the employment at-will policy discussed below, the Company may, from time to time in its sole discretion, modify or eliminate its policies and the benefits offered to employees.

**Employee Proprietary Information Agreement.** As an employee of the Company, you have become knowledgeable about the Company's confidential and trade secret information relating to operations, products, and services. To continue to protect the Company's interests, you reaffirm your entry into the Company's Employee Proprietary Information Agreement (as mutually amended or superseded from time to time, the "**EPIA**"), executed by you prior to or on your start date with the Company. The EPIA provides for the arbitration of all disputes arising out of your employment and you reaffirm the mutual promise to arbitrate disputes described therein. The EPIA also contains certain restrictive covenants prohibiting you from soliciting the Company's employees, interfering with the Company's customers, and competing with the Company, each on the terms and conditions set forth in the EPIA (collectively, including the terms and conditions thereof, the "**Restrictive Covenants**"). By accepting this Agreement, you acknowledge that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable and necessary to protect the Company's legitimate business interests and that the terms and conditions of the Restrictive Covenants are fair and reasonable.

**At-Will Employment**. Please understand that this Agreement does not constitute a contract of employment for any specific length of time but instead continues an "at will" relationship which may be terminated with or without cause and with or without notice at any time by you or the Company, subject to the rights and benefits set forth in this Agreement. Further, your continued employment as well as your participation in any benefit programs does not assure you of continuing employment with the Company. This policy of at-will employment is the entire agreement as to the duration of your employment and may only be modified in an express written agreement approved by the Board of Directors of Firefly and signed by an officer of the Company.

**Miscellaneous.** This Agreement, and any documents referenced herein, sets forth the entire terms of your employment with the Company and supersedes any prior representations or agreements, whether written or oral, including the Prior Employment Letter. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of Texas, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

**Amendment**. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by a written agreement signed by an officer of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(g) Extension of Post-Termination Exercise Period (PTEP)**. In an effort to manage potential Material Nonpublic Information (MNPI) held by executives terminating service to the Company, and avoid the forced sale of large equity interests held by them shortly after such termination (ie; within ninety (90) days following termination), the Company has determined that it is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to avoid forced sales of equity over short periods of time. Therefore, any Eligible Executive (i) who, at the time of termination, holds (together with their affiliates) one-tenth of one percent (0.1%) or more of the Company's then-outstanding shares of common stock, and (ii) whose termination of employment with the Company is a result of a Qualifying Termination or due to Death, Retirement, or Disability, the post-termination exercise period of any options outstanding on the termination date shall be extended from ninety (90) days to one (1) year following the Date of Termination. Notwithstanding the forgoing, in no event shall any option remain exercisable beyond its original ten (10) year maximum term.

The affected Executive should recognize that, while the options may remain exercisable beyond the ninety (90) day period (one year, in the case of a termination due to permanent and total disability), if the option is an incentive stock option such extension will result in the option becoming subject to tax treatment as a nonqualified stock option (NQSO).

**Article III. Restrictive Covenants and General Provisions** 

**6.** **Certain Excise Taxes (Section 280G)** 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, if an Eligible Executive is a "disqualified individual" (as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code), and the payments and benefits provided for in the Plan would constitute a "parachute payment" (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), then the payments and benefits provided for in the Plan shall be either (a) reduced (but not below zero) so that the present value of such total amounts and benefits will be one dollar less than three times such Eligible Executive's "base amount" (the "<u>Best Net Approach</u>") or (b) paid in full, whichever produces the better net after-tax position to such Eligible Executive. The determination as to whether any such reduction is necessary shall be made by the Company in good faith.

**7.** **Mutual Non-Disparagement** 

Subject to Section 8, the Company and the Eligible Executive mutually agree to the following covenants:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a) Obligation of the Eligible Executive.** The Eligible Executive and the Eligible Executive's affiliates will not, and will cause the Eligible Executive's affiliates to not, make, publish, or communicate any disparaging or defamatory comments regarding any member of the **Company Group** or their current or former directors, officers, members, managers, partners, executives or direct or indirect owners. Any material breach of this convenant by the Eligible Executive shall result in the immediate forfeiture of outstanding, unvested Performance Stock Units (PSU's).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b) Obligation of the Company**. The Company agrees to instruct the current members of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, and the direct reports of the Chief Executive Officer not to make, publish, or communicate any disparaging or defamatory comments regarding the Eligible Executive.

**8.** **Required Disclosures** 

Nothing in this Plan shall prevent either the Company or the Eligible Executive from: (i) making truthful statements when required by law, court order, subpoena, or other compulsory legal or regulatory process, or (ii) making any statements necessary for the enforcement or defense of this Plan or any other rights of the Parties.

**9.** **Cooperation** 

Each Eligible Executive agrees that during the Eligible Executive's employment with the Company Group and thereafter (regardless of whether the Eligible Executive resigns or the Eligible Executive's employment is terminated by the Company Group or the reason for such resignation or termination), the Eligible Executive shall provide reasonable and timely cooperation in connection with: (a) any actual or threatened litigation, inquiry, review, investigation, process, or other matter, action, or proceeding (whether conducted by or before any court, regulatory, or governmental entity, or by or on behalf of the Company Group, or otherwise), that relates to events occurring during the Eligible Executive's employment by the Company Group or about which the Company Group otherwise believes the Eligible Executive may have relevant information; (b) the transitioning of the Eligible Executive's role and responsibilities to other personnel; and (c) the provision of information in response to the Company Group's requests and inquiries in connection with the Eligible Executive's separation of employment. Each Eligible Executive's cooperation shall include being available to (i) meet with and provide information to the Company Group and its counsel or other agents in connection with fact-finding, investigatory, discovery, and/or pre-litigation or other proceeding issues, and (ii) provide truthful testimony (including via affidavit, deposition, at trial, or otherwise) in connection with any such matter, all without the requirement of being subpoenaed.

![LOGO](g35387g0421171331044.jpg)

**10.** **Other Obligations** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)** Each Eligible Executive hereby represents and warrants that the Eligible Executive will comply with his or her obligations under the Executive Employment Agreement and EPIA at all times during the term of his or her employment with the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)** Each Eligible Executive acknowledges that certain obligations under the Executive Employment Agreement and EPIA survive termination of the Eligible Executive's employment with the Company (including covenants related to Confidential Information, IP Ownership & Assignment, Non-Solicitation of Employees, Customer Non-Interference, and Covenant Not to Compete, collectively, the "<u>Restrictive Covenants</u>"), and are affirmed by the Eligible Executive, with the understanding that the Eligible Executive will pursue no lawsuit, claim, or legal action asserting that such post-employment restrictions are unreasonable or unenforceable as written, or that they do not survive.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c)** In recognition of the severance benefits provided herein, and notwithstanding the terms specified in the Executive Employment Agreement and EPIA, the Restrictive Covenants shall be amended so that the period of each Restrictive Covenant shall be the longer of the period set for in the EPIA or the Severance Period specified herein. In addition, any material breach of this Plan or the Restrictive Covenants by the Eligible Executive shall result in the immediate forfeiture of all outstanding, unvested Performance Stock Units (PSU's) held by such Eligible Executive.

**11.** **Consent to Notification** 

If an Eligible Executive ceases to be employed by any member of the Company Group, the Eligible Executive hereby grants consent to notification by the Company Group to any new employer, any third party engaging the Eligible Executive's services, or any entity to which the Eligible Executive becomes a partner, member, employee or otherwise engaged about the Eligible Executive's rights and obligations under the Plan.

**12.** **Claims Procedure and Review.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)** <u>Filing a Claim</u>. Any Eligible Executive that the Committee determines is entitled to severance benefits under the Plan is not required to file a claim for benefits. Any Eligible Executive (i) who is not paid severance benefits hereunder and who believes that such Eligible Executive is entitled to severance benefits hereunder or (ii) who has been paid severance benefits hereunder and believes that such Eligible Executive is entitled to greater benefits hereunder may file a claim for benefits in writing with the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)** <u>Initial Determination of a Claim</u>. If a claim for severance benefits hereunder is wholly or partially denied, the Committee shall, within a reasonable period of time but no later than ninety (90) days after receipt of the claim (or one-hundred and eighty (180) days after receipt of the claim if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim), notify the claimant of the denial. Such notice shall (i) be in writing, (ii) be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, (iii) contain the specific reason or reasons for denial of the claim, (iv) refer specifically to the pertinent Plan provisions upon which the denial is based, (v) describe any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim (and explain why such material or information is necessary), and (vi) describe the Plan's claim review procedures and time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the claimant's right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c)** <u>Appeal of a Denied Claim</u>. Within sixty (60) days of the receipt by the claimant of this notice, the claimant may file a written appeal with the Committee. In connection with the appeal, the claimant may review Plan documents and may submit written issues and comments. The Committee shall deliver to the claimant a written decision on the appeal promptly, but not later than sixty (60) days after the receipt of the claimant's appeal (or one-hundred and twenty (120) days after receipt of the claimant's appeal if there are special circumstances which require an extension of time for processing). Such decision shall (i) be in

------

![LOGO](g35387g0421171331044.jpg)

writing, (ii) be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, (iii) include specific reasons for the decision, (iv) refer specifically to the Plan provisions upon which the decision is based, (v) state that the claimant is entitled to receive, on request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant's claim for benefits, and (vi) a statement of the claimant's right to bring an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. If special circumstances require an extension of up to one-hundred and eighty (180) days for an initial claim or one-hundred and twenty (120) days for an appeal, whichever applies, the Committee shall send written notice of the extension. This notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension and state when the Committee expects to render the decision.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(d)** <u>Compliance with ERISA</u>. The benefits claim procedure provided in this Section 13 is intended to comply with the provisions of 29 C.F.R. §2560.503-1. All provisions of this Section 13 shall be interpreted, construed, and limited in accordance with such intent.

**13.** **General Provisions.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)** <u>Taxes</u>. The Company is authorized to withhold from all payments made hereunder amounts of withholding and other taxes due or potentially payable in connection therewith, and to take such other action as the Company may deem advisable to enable the Company and the Eligible Executive to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to any payments made under the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)** <u>No Mitigation</u>. No Eligible Executive shall have any duty to mitigate the amounts payable under the Plan by seeking or accepting new employment or self-employment following a Qualifying Termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c)** <u>Offset</u>. The Company may set off against, and each Eligible Executive authorizes the Company to deduct from, any payments due to the Eligible Executive, or to his or her estate, heirs, legal representatives, or successors, any amounts which may be due and owing to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company by the Eligible Executive, whether arising under the Plan or otherwise; provided, however, that no such offset may be made with respect to amounts payable that are subject to the requirements of Section 409A unless the offset would not result in a violation of the requirements of Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(d)** <u>Amendment and Termination</u>. Prior to a Change in Control, the Board and the Committee shall have the power to amend or terminate the Plan from time to time in its discretion and for any reason (or no reason) (including the removal of an individual as an Eligible Executive); provided that no such amendment or termination shall be effective with respect to a termination of employment that occurred prior to the amendment or termination of the Plan; and provided, further, that, to the extent any such amendment has a detrimental impact to any Eligible Executive, such amendment will become effective with respect to such Eligible Executive six months following approval by the Board or Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a Change in Control and during a Change in Control Protection Period, no amendment or termination of the Plan shall impair any rights or obligations to any Eligible Executive under the Plan (including the removal of an individual as an Eligible Executive) unless such Eligible Executive expressly consents to such amendment or termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(e)** <u>Successors</u>. The Plan will be binding upon any successor to the Company, its assets, its businesses or its interest (whether as a result of the occurrence of a Change in Control or otherwise), in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be obligated under the Plan if no succession had taken place. All payments and benefits that become due to an Eligible Executive under the Plan will inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, assigns, designees or legal representatives.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(f)** <u>Transfer and Assignment</u>. Neither an Eligible Executive nor any other person shall have any right to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate or otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate or convey any amounts payable under the Plan prior to the date that such amounts are paid.

------

![LOGO](g35387g0421171331044.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(g)** <u>Unfunded Obligation</u>. All benefits due an Eligible Executive under the Plan are unfunded and unsecured and are payable out of the general assets of the Company. The Company is not required to segregate any monies or other assets from its general funds with respect to these obligations. Eligible Executives shall not have any preference or security interest in any assets of the Company other than as a general unsecured creditor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(h)** <u>Severability</u>. If any provision of the Plan (or portion thereof) is held to be illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity of such provision (or portion thereof) will not affect the remaining provisions (or portions thereof) of the Plan, but such provision (or portion thereof) will be fully severable and the Plan will be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision (or portion thereof) had never been included herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(i)** <u>Section 409A</u>. The Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A or an exemption thereunder and shall be construed and administered in accordance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, payments provided under the Plan may only be made upon an event and in a manner that complies with Section 409A or an applicable exemption. Any payments under the Plan that may be excluded from Section 409A either as separation pay due to an involuntary separation from service or as a short-term deferral shall be excluded from Section 409A to the maximum extent possible. Any payments to be made under the Plan upon the termination of an Eligible Executive's employment shall only be made if such termination of employment constitutes a "separation from service" under Section 409A. In no event may an Eligible Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment under this Plan. Each installment payment under the Plan is intended to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, if any payment or benefit provided for herein would be subject to additional taxes and interest under Section 409A if an Eligible Executive's receipt of such payment or benefit is not delayed until the earlier of (i) the date of such Eligible Executive's Death or (ii) the date that is six months after such Eligible Executive's Date of Termination (such date, the "<u>Section</u> <u>409A Payment Date</u>"), then such payment or benefit shall not be provided to such Eligible Executive (or such Eligible Executive's estate, if applicable) until the Section 409A Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under the Plan are exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A and in no event shall the Company or any of its Affiliates be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by any Eligible Executive on account of non-compliance with Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(j)** <u>Governing Law</u>. All questions arising with respect to the provisions of the Plan and payments due hereunder will be determined by application of the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any conflict of law provisions thereof, except to the extent preempted by federal law (including ERISA, which is the federal law that governs the Plan, the administration of the Plan and any claims made under the Plan).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(k)** <u>Status</u>. The Plan is intended to qualify for the exemptions under Title I of ERISA provided for plans that are unfunded and maintained primarily for the purpose of providing benefits for a select group of management or highly compensated employees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(l)** <u>Third-Party Beneficiaries</u>. Each Affiliate of the Company shall be a third-party beneficiary of the Eligible Executive's covenants and obligations under Sections 7(a) and 10 and shall be entitled to enforce such obligations as if a party hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(m)** <u>No Right to Continued Employment</u>. The adoption and maintenance of the Plan shall not be deemed to be a contract of employment between the Company or any of its Affiliates and any person, or to have any impact whatsoever on the at-will employment relationship between the Company or any of its Affiliates and the Eligible Executives. Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give any person the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any of its Affiliates for any period of time or to restrict the right of the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate the employment of any person at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(n)** <u>Title and Headings; Construction</u>. Titles and headings to Sections hereof are for the purpose of reference only and shall in no way limit, define or otherwise affect the provisions hereof. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references herein to laws, regulations, contracts, documents, agreements and instruments refer to such laws, regulations, contracts, documents, agreements and instruments as they may be amended from time to time, and references to particular provisions of laws or regulations include a reference to the corresponding provisions of any succeeding law or regulation. The word "or" as used herein is not exclusive and is deemed to have the meaning "and/or." The words "herein", "hereof", "hereunder" and other compounds of the word "here" shall refer to the entire Plan, and not to any particular provision hereof. Wherever the context so requires, the masculine gender includes the feminine or neuter, and the singular number includes the plural and conversely. The use herein of the word "including" following any general statement, term or matter shall not be construed to limit such statement, term or matter to the specific items or matters set forth immediately following such word or to similar items or matters, whether or not non-limiting language (such as "without limitation", "but not limited to", or words of similar import) is used with reference thereto, but rather shall be deemed to refer to all other items or matters that could reasonably fall within the broadest possible scope of such general statement, term or matter. Neither the Plan nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved against any party hereto, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, the Plan has been reviewed by each of the parties hereto and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to fairly accomplish the purposes and intentions of the parties hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(o)** <u>Overpayment</u>. If, due to mistake or any other reason, a person receives severance payments or benefits under the Plan in excess of what the Plan provides, such person shall repay the overpayment to the Company in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of notice of the amount of overpayment. If such person fails to so repay the overpayment, then without limiting any other remedies available to the Company, the Company may deduct the amount of the overpayment from any other amounts which become payable to such person under the Plan or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(p)** <u>Clawback</u>. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan or any other agreement between the Company and/or its related entities and an Eligible Executive to the contrary, such Eligible Executive acknowledges and agrees that any amounts payable under the Plan to such Eligible Executive are subject to (i) any right that the Company may have under any policy or other agreement or arrangement with such Eligible Executive (whether in existence as of the Effective Date or later adopted) established by the Company providing for clawback or recovery of amounts that were paid to such Eligible Executive, including for the avoidance of doubt the Company's Policy for the Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation, and (ii) any right or obligation that the Company may have regarding the clawback of "incentive-based compensation" under Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder from time to time by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which the Company's securities are listed, or any other applicable law. The Company will make any determination for clawback or recovery in its sole discretion and in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and securities exchange listing standards.
