 Until the Separation Date you will continue to perform your normal duties and we shall pay you your salary and provide contractual benefits up to the Separation Date in the usual way, save for a period of four weeks immediately prior to the
 Separation Date during which you shall be engaged on special project duties as Senior Advisor to Venus Concept as agreed on a part-time basis at 50% of your contractual hours and accordingly remunerated at 50% of your salary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2 In accordance with Section 3 of your Employment Agreement, the Company will pay to you, subject to the normal PAYE deductions:

------

(i) five (5) weeks' notice in the amount of £25,385. This sum is the Post-Employment Notice Payment within the meaning of 402D(1) of the Income Tax (Earnings & Pensions) Act 2003 (ITEPA).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4 In addition, your contractual health benefits will be continued for a period of twelve (12) months post Separation Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5 The payments and benefits in this Clause 2 shall be subject to the income tax and National Insurance contributions that we are obliged by law to pay or deduct.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.6 You shall submit on or before the Separation Date your expenses claims in the usual way and we shall reimburse you for any expenses properly incurred before the

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.9 Your granted and unvested options issued under the Venus Concept Ltd. 2010 Employee Share Option Plan and/or the Venus Concept Inc. 2019 Incentive Award Plan,
 including Restricted Stock Units granted in March 2022, will continue to vest until June 15, 2024 ()"**Continued Vesting Period**") in addition to those

 certificate from the Adviser which is set out at Schedule 2 herein, whichever is the later.

 a termination award under the threshold within the meaning of sections 402A(1) and 403 of Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (**ITEPA**). No part
 of the Separation Payment is taxable as Post-Employment Notice Pay.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.3 We will also pay you a settlement payment of £233,615 (two hundred and thirty three thousand six hundred and fifteen pounds) (the "**Settlement Payment**") on or around 19 May 2023 into your Barclays Bank, sort code 20-26-88 account number 83398439 bank account.

 PAYE deductions and/or withholdings on the condition of your non-domiciled UK tax status and your election to pay tax on the remittance basis.
