On January 17, 2023, Shutterstock, Inc. (the "Company") announced that John Caine is joining the Company as Global Head of E-Commerce effective as of January 30, 2023.

Mr. Caine, 47, most recently served as Chief Product Officer of NerdWallet, Inc. since December 2021. Prior to joining NerdWallet, Mr. Caine served as the Chief Conversion and Chief Product Officer of Vroom Inc., a publicly traded used car retailer and e-commerce company, a role he held beginning in 2018. From 2016 to 2018, he served as the Chief Conversion Officer of Vroom Inc.

There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Caine and any other person pursuant to which he was appointed as Global Head of E-Commerce, nor is there any family relationship between Mr. Caine and any of the Company's directors or executive officers. There are no transactions in which Mr. Caine has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

In connection with Mr. Caine's appointment as Global Head of E-Commerce, on January 13, 2023, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Caine under which he will commence employment on January 30, 2023 (the "Agreement"). Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Caine will be entitled to an annual base salary of $500,000 and an initial annual cash bonus target of 60% of his base salary, based on the achievement of objective or subjective performance goals established by the Company's Compensation Committee. In addition, Mr. Caine will receive a one-time sign on bonus of $150,000, subject to certain repayment conditions. Mr. Caine also will receive the following equity awards:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• An initial grant of restricted stock units ("RSUs") of the Company's common stock in an amount equal to the fair market value of $4,000,000, of which 25% of the RSUs will vest annually no later than the first and second anniversaries of the grant and 6.25% will vest quarterly after the second and third anniversaries of the grant, subject to Mr. Caine's continued employment with the Company. Mr. Caine's RSU grant will be subject to the terms of the Company's 2022 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the "2022 Plan") and related RSU award agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A grant of additional equity in an amount equal to the fair market value of $1,500,000. Mr. Caine's equity grant will be granted at the same time as awards to similarly situated executives in 2023 and subject to the terms of the 2022 Plan and related award agreement.

Mr. Caine will also be eligible to participate in employee benefit plans, policies, programs and arrangements provided generally to similarly situated employees of the Company and will receive reimbursement of all reasonable business expenses in accordance with Company policies relating to such expenses.

If the Company terminates Mr. Caine's employment with the Company for a reason other than "cause" or Mr. Caine's death or "disability" at any time other than during the twelve-month period immediately following a "change of control" (as such terms are defined in the Agreement), then Mr. Caine will receive certain accrued benefits and, subject to his execution of an acceptable release and compliance with the covenants described below, Mr. Caine will also receive the following severance payments and benefits from the Company:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• cash severance in an amount equal to 12 months of his base salary, which will be paid in installments accordance with the Company's regular payroll procedures;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a lump sum payment of a pro-rata annual bonus based on actual performance for the year in which the termination of employment occurs based on the number of days worked relative to 365 days;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reimbursement for premiums paid for coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended ("COBRA"), for Mr. Caine and his eligible dependents for up to 12 months; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• accelerated vesting of the then-unvested portion of all his outstanding equity awards as if he had remained employed for 12 months following his termination of employment, unless otherwise set forth in a performance stock unit award agreement.

If the Company terminates Mr. Caine's employment with the Company for a reason other than for "cause" or Mr. Caine's death or "disability," or if Mr. Caine resigns for "good reason," in any case at any time during the twelve-month period immediately following a "change of control" (as such terms are defined in the Agreement), then Mr. Caine will receive certain

------

accrued benefits and, subject to his execution of an acceptable release and compliance with the covenants described below, Mr. Caine will also receive the following severance payments and benefits from the Company:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• cash severance in an amount equal to 12 months of his then current base salary in a single lump sum payment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a lump sum payment equal to 100% of his full target bonus for the fiscal year in effect at the date of termination of employment (or the year the "change of control" occurs, if greater);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reimbursement for premiums paid for coverage pursuant to COBRA for Mr. Caine and his eligible dependents for up to 12 months; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• accelerated vesting of 100% of the then-unvested portion of all of Mr. Caine's outstanding equity awards, unless otherwise set forth in a performance stock unit award agreement.

Mr. Caine is also subject to the Company's Non-Disclosure Agreement, which contains customary confidentiality, non-competition, and non-solicitation of employees or customers provisions. Under the agreement, Mr. Caine cannot compete with the Company for a 12-month period after termination. The non-solicitation covenant also extends for 12 months after termination.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Dear John:

This Employment Agreement (the "***Agreement***") between you (referred to hereinafter as the "***Executive***") and Shutterstock, Inc., a Delaware corporation (collectively, including all direct and indirect subsidiaries and affiliated entities, the "***Company***") sets forth the terms and conditions that shall govern the period of your employment with the Company (referred to hereinafter as "***Employment***" or the "***Employment Period***").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.**<u>Duties and Scope of Employment</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;(a)**<u>At-Will Employment</u>**. Executive will commence full-time Employment with the Company effective as of January 30, 2023 (the "***Effective Start Date***") and the terms of such Employment will be governed by this Agreement. Executive's Employment with the Company is for no specified period and constitutes "at will" employment. As a result, Executive is free to terminate Employment at any time, with or without advance notice, and for any reason or for no reason. Similarly, the Company is free to terminate Executive's Employment at any time, with or without advance notice, and with or without Cause (as defined below). Furthermore, although terms and conditions of Executive's Employment with the Company may change over time, nothing shall change the at-will nature of 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;(b)**<u>Position and Responsibilities</u>.** During the Employment Period, the Company agrees to employ Executive in the position of Global Head of E-Commerce or other comparable title. Executive will report to the Chief Executive Officer, or to such other person as the Company subsequently may determine (your "***Supervisor***"). Executive will perform the duties and responsibilities and authority customarily performed and held by an employee in Executive's position or as otherwise may be assigned or delegated to Executive by Executive's Supervisor from time to time. Executive's position will be primarily located at the Company's principal office in New York City, New York.

&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>Obligations to the Company</u>.** During the Employment Period, Executive shall perform Executive's duties faithfully and to the best of Executive's ability and will devote Executive's full business efforts and time to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive will be permitted to (a) with the prior written approval of Executive's Supervisor (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), act or serve as a director, trustee, or committee member of any non-profit, civic, or charitable organization, as long as such activities are disclosed in writing to the Company's General Counsel in accordance with the Company's policies, procedures and rules, with a copy of such notice to the Board of Directors, (b) purchase or own less than five percent (5%) of the publicly traded securities of any corporation; provided that, such ownership represents a passive investment and that the Executive is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group that controls, such corporation; and (c) deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements, teach at educational institution or manage personal investments; provided that such activities do not individually or in the aggregate interfere with the performance of Executive's duties under this Agreement or create a potential business or fiduciary conflict. Executive may serve on the board of directors of unaffiliated companies that are not competitive with the business of the Company to the extent such service or participation does not interfere with Executive's employment or duties or obligations under this Agreement or the Non-Disclosure Agreement and that Executive has advised Executive's Supervisor and the Board at least thirty (30) days prior to commencing service, and the Executive's Supervisor and the Board have consented (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to, such additional corporate board service. Executive shall comply with the Company's policies and rules, as they may be in effect from time to time during 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;(d)**<u>Confidentiality</u>.** All information learned or developed by the Executive during the course of the Executive's employment by the Company thereof will be deemed "Confidential Information" under the terms of this Agreement. The Executive will not disclose to any person at any time or use in any way, except as directed by the Company, either during or after the employment of the Executive by the Company, any Confidential Information. The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to information which is or becomes part of the public domain though no act or failure to act by the Executive. In addition to the foregoing, in the process of the Executive's employment with the Company, or thereafter, under no condition is the Executive to use or disclose to the Company, or incorporate or use in any of Executive's work for the Company, any confidential information imparted to the Executive or with which Executive may have come into contact while in the employ of Executive's former employer(s).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), Executive acknowledges that Executive will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret if he/she (i) makes such disclosure in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and such disclosure is made solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) such disclosure was made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding if such filing is made under seal. Executive understands that if Executive files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, Executive may disclose the trade secret to Executive's attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if Executive (x) files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and (y) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Nothing in this Agreement, or any other agreement that Executive has with the Company, is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by such section. Further, nothing in this Agreement or any other agreement that Executive has with the Company shall prohibit or restrict Executive from making any voluntary disclosure of information or documents concerning possible violations of law to any governmental agency or legislative body, or any self-regulatory organization, in each case, without advance notice to the Company.

The initial target amount for any such Cash Bonus will be 60% of Executive's Base Salary (the "***Target Bonus Percentage***"). Executive's Target Bonus Percentage for any subsequent year may be adjusted, as recommended by Executive's Supervisor and as determined in the sole discretion of the Board, the Committee or the Delegate, as applicable. Executive shall not earn a Cash Bonus unless Executive is employed by the Company on the date when such Cash Bonus is actually paid by 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;(c)**<u>Sign On Bonus.</u>** You will receive a one-time sign on bonus of One Hundred Fifty Thousand US Dollars ($150,000.00) less applicable taxes and other withholdings.

The number of RSUs granted to Executive will be determined by dividing the fair market value of the RSU Award by the average of the Company's closing price for a share of our common stock during the 30-day period ending on the date immediately prior to the Grant Date (as defined below), rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares. The RSU Award shall be granted on or after, but in all events by no later than the first business day of the calendar month next following, the Effective Start Date, at the discretion of the Board, the Committee or a Delegate (the "***Grant Date***").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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>Equity</u>. Unless otherwise set forth in a performance restricted stock unit award agreement, all of Executive's unvested and outstanding equity awards that would have become vested had Executive remained in the employ of the Company for the twelve (12)-month period following Executive's termination of employment shall immediately vest and become exercisable as of the date Executive's Release (as defined in Section 8 herein) actually becomes effective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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>Pro-Rated Bonus Payment</u>. Executive will receive a pro-rated annual bonus for the fiscal year in which Executive terminates employment equal to (x) the annual bonus that Executive would have received based on actual performance for such fiscal year if Executive had remained in the employ of the Company for the entire fiscal year, if any, *multiplied by* (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days Executive was in the employ of the Company during the fiscal year including the Termination Date and the denominator of which is 365 (the "***Pro-Rated Bonus***"). The Pro-Rated Bonus, if any, shall be paid at the same time annual bonuses are paid by the Company to other executives of the Company for the fiscal year in which Executive terminated employment, but no later than March 15<sup>th</sup> of the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive terminated 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;(b)**<u>Termination without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason in Connection with a Change in Control</u>**. If, upon or during the twelve (12)-month period immediately following a Change in Control, (x) the Company terminates Executive's employment with the Company for a reason other than for Cause, Executive becoming Disabled or Executive's death, or (y) Executive resigns for Good Reason, then, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 8 of this Agreement, Executive will receive the following severance benefits from the Company in lieu of the benefits described in Section 7(a) above:

The Company will pay Executive all 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)<u>Severance Payment</u>. Executive will receive a lump sum severance payment equal to twelve (12) months of Executive's Base Salary, at the rate in effect immediately prior to such termination of employment, less all required tax withholdings and other applicable deductions, which will be paid in the first payroll cycle following the sixtieth day following Executive's termination of 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)<u>Continued Employee Benefits</u>. If Executive elects continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA for Executive and Executive's eligible dependents, within the time period prescribed pursuant to COBRA, the Company will reimburse Executive for the COBRA premiums for such coverage (at the coverage levels in effect immediately prior to Executive's termination or resignation) until the earlier of (A) a period of twelve (12) months from the last date of employment of Executive with the Company, or (B) the date upon which Executive and/or Executive's eligible dependents become covered under similar plans. COBRA reimbursements will be made by the Company to Executive consistent with the Company's normal expense reimbursement policy and will be taxable to the extent required to avoid adverse consequences to Executive or the Company under either Code Section 105(h) or the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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>Equity</u>. Unless otherwise set forth in a performance restricted stock unit award agreement, all of Executive's unvested and outstanding equity awards shall immediately vest and become exercisable as of the date Executive's Release (as defined in Section 8 herein) actually becomes effective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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>Target Bonus Payment</u>. Executive will receive a lump sum severance payment equal to one hundred percent (100%) of Executive's full target bonus amount for the fiscal year in effect at the date of such termination of employment (or, if greater, as in effect for the fiscal year in which the Change in Control occurs), less all required tax withholdings and other applicable deductions.

&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>Disability; Death; Voluntary Resignation; Termination for Cause</u>**. If Executive's employment with the Company is terminated due to (i) Executive becoming Disabled or Executive's death, (ii) Executive's voluntary resignation (other than for Good Reason upon or during the twelve (12) month period immediately following a Change of Control), or (iii) the Company's termination of Executive's employment with the Company for Cause, then Executive or Executive's estate (as the case may be) will receive the Accrued Benefits, but will not be entitled to any other compensation or benefits from the Company except to the extent required by law (for example, COBRA). All Accrued Benefits shall in all cases be paid within thirty (30) days of Executive's termination of employment (or such earlier date as required by applicable law) pursuant to this Section 7(c).

&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>Exclusive Remedy</u>**. In the event of a termination of Executive's employment with the Company, the provisions of this Section 7 are intended to be and are exclusive and in lieu of any other rights or remedies to which Executive or the Company may otherwise be entitled, whether at law, tort or contract, in equity, or under this Agreement (other than the payment of accrued but unpaid wages, as required by law, and any unreimbursed reimbursable expenses). Executive will be entitled to no other severance, benefits, compensation or other payments or rights upon a termination of employment, including, without limitation, any severance payments and/or benefits provided in the Employment Agreement, other than those benefits expressly set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement or pursuant to written equity award agreements with 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;(e)**<u>No Duty to Mitigate</u>**. Executive will not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment contemplated by this Agreement, nor will any earnings that Executive may receive from any other source reduce any such payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.**<u>Conditions to Receipt of Severance</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;(a)**<u>Release of Claims Agreement</u>**. The receipt of any severance payments or benefits pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement, other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Accrued Benefits, is subject to Executive signing and not revoking a separation agreement and

------

release of claims in a form acceptable to the Company (the "***Release***"), which must become effective no later than the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive's termination of employment (the "***Release Deadline***"), and if not, Executive will forfeit any right to severance payments or benefits under this Agreement. To become effective, the Release must be executed by Executive and any revocation periods (as required by statute, regulation, or otherwise) must have expired without Executive having revoked the Release. In addition, in no event will severance payments or benefits be paid or provided until the Release actually becomes effective. If the termination of employment occurs at a time during the calendar year where the Release Deadline could occur in the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive's termination of employment occurs, then any severance payments or benefits under this Agreement that would be considered Deferred Payments (as defined in Section 8(c)(i)) will be paid on the first payroll date to occur during the calendar year following the calendar year in which such termination occurs, or such later time as required by (i) the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit as set forth in Section 7, (ii) the date the Release becomes effective, or (iii) Section 8(c)(ii); provided that the first payment shall include all amounts that would have been paid to Executive if payment had commenced on the date of Executive's termination of 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;(b)**<u>Non-Disclosure Agreement and Cooperation</u>**. As a condition to employment and to Executive's receipt of any payments or benefits under Section 7, any such payments or benefits will be subject to Executive's continued compliance with the requirements set forth in the Non-Disclosure Agreement (as defined in Section 11(a) below) and Executive's provision of reasonable cooperation with transition of Executive's duties and responsibilities, and other cooperation, as more fully described in Section 9 below.

&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>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)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no severance pay or benefits to be paid or provided to Executive, if any, pursuant to this Agreement that, when considered alone or together with any other severance payments or separation benefits, are considered deferred compensation not exempt under Section 409A (together, the "***Deferred Payments***") will be paid or otherwise provided until Executive has a "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A. For purposes of this Agreement, any reference to "termination of employment," "termination" or any similar term shall be construed to mean a "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A. Similarly, no severance payable to Executive, if any, pursuant to this Agreement that otherwise would be exempt from Section 409A pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) will be payable until Executive has a "separation from service" 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;(ii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is a "***specified employee***" within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of Executive's termination of employment (other than due to death or "disability" within the meaning of Section 409A), then the Deferred Payments, if any, that are payable within the first six (6) months following Executive's separation from service, will become payable on the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Executive's separation from service. All subsequent Deferred Payments, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Executive dies following Executive's separation from service, but prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the separation from service, then any payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph will be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable , but not more than ninety (90) days, after the date of Executive's death and all other Deferred Payments will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Each payment, installment and benefit payable under this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)Without limitation, any amount paid under this Agreement that satisfies the requirements of the "short-term deferral" rule set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations is not intended to constitute Deferred Payments for purposes of clause (i) above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)Without limitation, any amount paid under this Agreement that qualifies as a payment made as a result of an involuntary separation from service pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations that does not exceed the Section 409A Limit or as a limited payment under Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(D) of the Treasury Regulations is not intended to constitute Deferred Payments for purposes of clause (i) above. Any payment intended to qualify under such involuntary separation from service exemption must be made within the allowable time period specified in Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)To the extent that reimbursements or in-kind benefits under this Agreement constitute non-exempt "nonqualified deferred compensation" for purposes of Section 409A, (1) all reimbursements hereunder shall be made on or prior to the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred by Executive, (2) any right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (3) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided in any calendar year shall not in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other 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;(vi)The payments and benefits provided under Sections 7(a) and 7(b) are intended to be exempt from or comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the severance payments and benefits to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities or ambiguous terms herein will be interpreted to be exempt or so comply. The Company and Executive agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions that are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual payment to Executive under 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;(d)**<u>Section 280G</u>**. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if any payment or benefit Executive would receive from the Company or otherwise ("***Payment***") would (i) constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code; and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the "***Excise Tax***"), then such Payment shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The "***Reduced Amount****"* shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax; or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, 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 Executive's receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Payment. Any reduction made pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall be made in accordance with the following order of priority: (i) stock options whose exercise price exceeds the fair market value of the optioned stock ("***Underwater Options***") (ii) Full Credit Payments (as defined below) that are payable in cash, (iii) non-cash Full Credit Payments that are taxable, (iv) non-cash Full Credit Payments that are not taxable (v) Partial Credit Payments (as defined below) and (vi) non-cash employee welfare benefits. In each case, reductions shall be made in reverse chronological order such that the payment or benefit owed on the latest date following the occurrence of the event triggering the excise tax will be the first payment or benefit to be reduced (with reductions made *pro rata* in the event payments or benefits are owed at the same time). "***Full Credit Payment***" means a payment, distribution or benefit, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, that if reduced in value by one dollar reduces the amount

------

of the parachute payment (as defined in Section 280G of the Code) by one dollar, determined as if such payment, distribution or benefit had been paid or distributed on the date of the event triggering the excise tax. "***Partial Credit Payment***" means any payment, distribution or benefit that is not a Full Credit Payment. In no event shall Executive have any discretion with respect to the ordering of payment reductions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.**Cooperation**. Following the Employment Period, regardless of the reason for the termination of Executive's Employment, the Executive shall give the Executive's assistance and cooperation willingly, upon reasonable advance notice, in any matter relating to the Executive's position with the Company, or the Executive's expertise or experience as the Company may reasonably request, including but not limited to the Executive's assistance in transitioning the Executive's duties and responsibilities, the Executive's provision of information regarding any Company matters relevant to the Executive's role, and the Executive's attendance and truthful testimony where deemed appropriate by the Company, with respect to any investigation or the Company's defense or prosecution of any existing or future claims or litigations or other proceedings relating to matters in which the Executive was involved or potentially had knowledge by virtue of the Executive's employment with the Company. When making a request for assistance and/or cooperation in accordance with this Section 9, the Company shall make reasonable efforts to give due consideration to the Executive's other business or personal commitments and to not materially interfere with the Executive's services to a subsequent employer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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>. Notices and all other communications contemplated by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or when mailed by U.S. registered or certified mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid.

In the case of the Company, mailed notices shall be addressed to its corporate headquarters, and all notices shall be directed to the attention of its General Counsel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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>Notice of Termination</u>.

waive any right of Executive or the Company, as applicable, hereunder or preclude Executive or the Company, as applicable, from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing his or her or its rights hereunder, as applicable.

&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>Modifications and Waivers</u>.** No provision of this Agreement shall be modified, waived or discharged unless the modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and by an authorized officer of the Company (other than Executive). No waiver by either party of any breach of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement by the other party shall be considered a waiver of any other condition or provision or of the same condition or provision at another 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>Whole Agreement</u>.** No other agreements, representations or understandings (whether oral or written and whether express or implied) that are not expressly set forth in this Agreement have been made or entered into by either party with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement and the Non-Disclosure Agreement contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

&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>Withholding Taxes</u>.** All payments made under this Agreement shall be subject to reduction to reflect taxes or other charges required to be withheld by 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;(h)**<u>Jurisdiction and Venue.</u>** In the event that any legal proceedings are commenced in any court with respect to any matter arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any breach thereof, Executive's employment, or the cessation of Executive's employment with the Company, the parties hereto specifically consent and agree that the courts of the State of New York and/or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York shall have exclusive jurisdiction over each of the parties hereto and over the subject matter of any such proceedings, the exclusive venue of any such proceedings shall be the County and State of New York and the parties agree that the Company and Executive have sufficient connections with the State of New York, County of New York. The parties further agree that venue in any jurisdiction other than the courts of the State of New York within the County of New York and/or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York would be unduly burdensome to the Company because, *inter alia*, the Company's principal office is located in New York City, New York, the Company does business in New York, New York, and the majority of the Company's executives are located in New York, New York. Therefore, the Company and Executive irrevocably waive any and all right to plead or contend lack of personal jurisdiction in those courts or that such proceedings have been brought in an incorrect or inconvenient venue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)**<u>Severability</u>.** If any provision of this Agreement becomes or is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any applicable jurisdiction by reason of the scope, extent or duration of its coverage, then such provision shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to conform to applicable law so as to be valid and enforceable or, if such provision

------

cannot be so amended without materially altering the intention of the parties, then such provision shall be stricken and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. If any provision of this Agreement is rendered illegal by any present or future statute, law, ordinance or regulation (collectively, the "***Law***") then that provision shall be curtailed or limited only to the minimum extent necessary to bring the provision into compliance with the Law.
