*Resignation of Chief Financial Officer*

 

On March 20, 2026, Streamex Corp. (the "Company") and Ferdinand Groenewald, who served as Chief Financial Officer, principal accounting officer and principal financial officer of the Company, entered into a Separation and General Release Agreement ("Separation Agreement"), in connection with Mr. Groenewald resignation from such roles, effective as of March 15, 2026 (the "Separation Date"). Mr. Groenewald's resignation did not result from any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices.

Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Mr. Groenewald will be entitled to (i) cash severance payments in an amount equal to 6 months of Mr. Groenewald's base salary, or $112,500, payable in accordance with the Company's regular payroll schedule commencing on the first payroll date following the Effective Date (as defined in the Separation Agreement), (ii) a pro-rata portion of Mr. Groenewald's annual bonus for the 2025 calendar year, payable in a lump sum cash payment no later than ten business days following the Effective Date, or, if later, the date 2025 annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company; provided that, Mr. Groenewald will not be entitled to such amounts to the extent such annual bonuses are not paid to other senior executives of the Company, (ii) a pro-rata portion of Mr. Groenewald's target annual bonus for the 2026 calendar year, payable in a lump sum cash payment at the same time as annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company, but in no event later than March 15, 2027; provided that, Mr. Groenewald will not be entitled to such amounts to the extent such annual bonuses are not paid to other senior executives of the Company and (iii) reimbursement for continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA), as amended, for a period of up to twelve (12) months, with payments to be made within 30 days of the submission of reasonable relevant documentation.

In connection with the Separation Agreement, the parties agreed to amend Mr. Groenewald's outstanding restricted stock unit ("RSU") award, originally consisting of 500,000 RSUs granted on January 8, 2026 under the Company's 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the "RSU Award"), to reduce the number of RSUs subject to such RSU Award to 301,500 RSUs, with all RSUs in excess of 301,500 being cancelled and of no further force or effect. Effective as of the Separation Date, 100% of the 301,500 RSUs subject to the amended RSU Award, together with 60,000 shares of restricted stock granted on November 18, 2025, that were originally scheduled to vest in full on November 18, 2026, became fully vested and subject to taxation and applicable withholdings on the Separation Date.

Further, Mr. Groenewald has incurred certain tax liabilities prior to the Separation Date arising from certain awards of restricted shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), of the Company, which the Company has agreed to satisfy subject to the terms of the Separation Agreement. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Mr. Groenewald also agreed that any shares of the Company's Common Stock held by Mr. Groenewald will be subject to a lock-up period of six months following the Separation Date, subject to certain exceptions.

In addition, on March 16, 2026, the Company agreed to engage Groenewald Enterprises LLC ("Consultant"), an affiliate of Mr. Groenewald, as a consultant to the Company for a period of six months, commencing on March 16, 2026, pursuant to a consulting agreement (the "Consulting Agreement"), pursuant to which, Mr. Groenewald will perform certain services as an independent contractor to the Company, including financial reporting, SEC compliance, transition and general advisory consulting services (the "Services") which such Services will primarily be performed through Mr. Groenewald. In consideration of the Services, the Company agreed to pay the Consultant a consulting fee of $20,000 per month. The Consulting Agreement may be terminated by either party upon 15 days' written notice to the other party and the Company may terminate for Cause (as defined in the Consulting Agreement) immediately pursuant to the terms set forth therein. The Consulting Agreement also contains customary provisions regarding confidentiality, intellectual property assignment, non-solicitation of employees, mutual indemnification, and limitation of liability.

In exchange for the consideration provided to Mr. Groenewald in the Separation Agreement, Mr. Groenewald agreed to waive and release any claims in connection with Mr. Groenewald's employment and separation from the Company. In connection with the execution of the Separation Agreement, Mr. Groenewald's existing employment agreement was terminated; provided, however, that certain surviving customary confidentiality provisions and restrictive covenants remain in full force and effect. The Separation Agreement also provides for certain customary covenants regarding confidentiality.

The descriptions of the terms of the Separation Agreement and the Consulting Agreement contained in this Item 5.02 are qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Separation Agreement and Consulting Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>**Separation Benefits**</u><u>.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Provided that the Executive (i) executes this Agreement on or after the Separation Date and returns the signed Agreement to the Company such that it is received by Henry McPhie, at henry@streamex.com, no later than 21 days after the date that the Executive was first provided this Agreement; (ii) does not revoke the Executive's acceptance of this Agreement pursuant to <u>Section 7(d)</u> below; and (iii) abides by the terms herein and continues to comply with the Surviving Provisions (as defined in <u>Section 8</u> below), then the Company shall provide the Executive with the following severance benefits:

Cash severance payments in an amount equal to six months of the Executive's Base Salary (i.e., $112,500), payable in accordance with the Company's regular payroll schedule, commencing on the first payroll date following the Effective Date (as defined in <u>Section</u> 7(d) below), provided that the first payment shall include any amounts that would have been paid had payments commenced immediately following the Separation 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;(ii) **Pro-Rata Bonus**. The Executive shall receive (1) a pro-rata portion of the Executive's Annual Bonus for the 2025 calendar year (based on actual performance achieved), based on the number of days employed during 2025, payable in a lump sum cash payment no later than ten business days following the Effective Date or, if later, the date 2025 annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company to the extent they are paid, and (2) a pro-rata portion of the Executive's target Annual Bonus for the 2026 calendar year, based on the number of days employed during such year through the Separation Date, payable in a lump sum cash payment at the same time as annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company and to the extent they are paid, but in no event later than March 15, 2027. For the avoidance of doubt, Executive shall be entitled to a bonus on the same terms as other senior executives of the Company and in the event bonuses are not paid to other senior executives of the Company for either 2025 or 2026, the Executive shall not be entitled to a bonus for such 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;(iii) **COBRA Continuation**. Subject to the Executive's timely election of continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended ("***COBRA***"), the Company shall reimburse the Executive for the monthly COBRA premiums for the Executive and the Executive's eligible dependents for continued group health coverage under the Company's group health plan for a period of 12 months following the Separation Date (the "***COBRA Subsidy Period***"). Reimbursement shall be made within 30 days following the Executive's submission of reasonable documentation evidencing payment of such premiums. The Company's obligation to provide the reimbursement described herein shall cease upon the earliest of (A) the expiration of the COBRA Subsidy Period, (B) the date the Executive becomes eligible for group health coverage through another employer, or (C) the date the Executive ceases to be eligible for COBRA continuation coverage for any reason (other than failure to pay premiums). For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that, during the Executive's employment the Executive's health coverage was 100% company-paid, and the Company's payment obligation under this Section 3(a)(iii) is intended to continue such coverage at no cost to the Executive during the COBRA Subsidy Period by covering the Executive's entire COBRA premium, including any applicable administrative surcharge.

&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) **Equity Acceleration**.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the applicable Equity Awards, effective as of the Separation Date, 100% of the RSUs subject to the RSU Award (as amended, 301,500 RSUs) and the November 2025 Restricted Stock Awards (60,000 shares) shall become fully vested as of the Separation Date and shall be subject to taxation and applicable withholdings on the Separation Date. Except as expressly provided in this <u>Section 3(a)(iv)</u>, the Equity Awards shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable equity incentive plan and award agreements, including with respect to settlement timing, exercise procedures, expiration dates, tax withholding, and compliance with applicable law. The Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to effectuate the amendment and vesting acceleration contemplated by this <u>Section 3(a)(iv)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) For the avoidance of doubt, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Executive has no entitlement to any further severance pay or benefits other than as set forth in this <u>Section</u> 3.

**4**. <u>**Equity Matters**</u>**.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Tax Payment by Company**. The Company acknowledges that the Executive has incurred tax liabilities arising from his Restricted Stock Awards that vested prior to the Separation Date, which tax liabilities have not been satisfied when due. The Company agrees to pay on behalf of the Executive, or reimburse the Executive for, the Executive's federal, state, and local income and employment tax obligations arising from the vested Restricted Stock Awards that vested prior to the Separation Date, in an amount equal to $397,000 (three hundred and ninety seven thousand dollars) (the "***Tax Payment***"). The Tax Payment shall be grossed up one time, using the highest marginal federal, state, and local income and employment tax rates applicable to the Executive for 2025, to account for any additional tax liability incurred by the Executive as a result of the Company's payment of such taxes on his behalf. The grossed- up Tax Payment shall be processed through payroll within 30 days following the Effective Date (as defined in Section 7(d) below), with applicable withholding and payroll reporting, and the net pay resulting from such payroll payment shall be paid to the Executive.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Lock-Up Period.** The Executive agrees that all shares of the Company's common stock held by the Executive pursuant to the Equity Awards as of the date hereof (the "***Lock-Up Shares***") shall be subject to a lock-up period of six months following the Separation Date (the "***Lock-Up Period***"). During the Lock-Up Period, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of any of the Lock-Up Shares, or enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Shares, without the prior written consent of the Company. The foregoing lock-up restrictions shall not apply to (i) sales or dispositions required to satisfy tax withholding or other statutory obligations, (ii) transfers to an immediate family member or trust for estate planning purposes, provided that the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of this <u>Section 4(b)</u> or (iii) sales or dispositions in connection with a Change in Control, tender offer, or other corporate transaction approved by the Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Executive covenants and agrees not to file, commence, prosecute, maintain, or voluntarily aid in the filing, commencement, prosecution, or maintenance of any lawsuit, arbitration, or other civil action or proceeding against any of the Company Parties that asserts any of the Released Claims. If the Executive breaches this covenant, the Executive shall be liable for all damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by any Company Party in defending against such action or proceeding, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement (including this covenant not to sue) restricts or limits the conduct permitted under <u>Section 6(c)</u>.

 actually expended on behalf of the Company and such other information as may be required
 and requested by the Company. If, during the Term, any dispute arises between Employee and
 the Company regarding this Agreement, any other agreements governing Employee's equity
 or compensation, or Employee's employment with the Company, the Company shall reimburse
 Employee for all legal fees and expenses reasonably incurred by Employee in connection with
 such dispute, but only if Employee prevails to a substantial extent with respect to Employee's
 claims or defenses brought and pursued in connection with such dispute. The Company shall

AND RESTRICTIVE COVENANT AGREEMENT

(see attached)

![](ex10-3_001.jpg)

**CONFIDENTIALITY, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY**

**AND RESTRICTIVE COVENANT AGREEMENT**

As a condition of my employment with Streamex Corp., a Delaware corporation, including its subsidiaries, affiliates, successor or assigns (the "**Company**"), I agree with the following terms as of March 16, 2026:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. **Term**. I understand that this Agreement applies to my employment with the Company in any capacity, at any time, and will continue to apply if my position or responsibilities change, or if there are breaks in my employment. I agree that this Agreement will not be deemed a commitment by the Company to employ me for any specific period or in any specific manner. I acknowledge that I am employed by the Company on an at-will basis and that either the Company or I may terminate my employment at any time for any reason, with or without notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2. Confidential Information.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. I understand that, as a result of my employment with the Company, I will obtain and have access to extensive and valuable Confidential Information belonging to the Company. I agree at all times during my employment and thereafter to safeguard, hold in strictest confidence, and not to disclose Confidential Information to any person or entity outside of the Company, except as authorized in writing by the Company. I understand that the term "**Confidential Information**" means any Company non- public information that relates to the actual or anticipated business or research and development of the Company, technical data, trade secrets or know-how, production practices, operations and methods of doing business, and any other proprietary business information including, but not limited to, the Company's: (i) strategic plans, partnerships, marketing plans and studies, research or other information regarding Company's business developments and investments; (ii) customer lists and information including but not limited to, the identity and authority of their key contact persons, payment methods, and order histories and patterns; (iii) software development plans and information including but not limited to software, source code, object code, smart contracts (including on-chain, off-chain, testnet, staging, and unpublished versions), repositories, build artifacts, deployment scripts, Infrastructure-as-Code, configuration files, CI/CD pipelines, test suites, and documentation; (iv) cryptographic materials and secrets including but not limited to private keys, seed phrases, key shards, passphrases, multi-party computation or threshold signing parameters, derivation paths, key rotation schedules, hardware security module configurations, custody and wallet procedures, and any information or process that enables control, transfer, or administrative access to digital assets, systems, or accounts; (v) security-related information including but not limited to network and system architecture, validator or node configurations, access controls, audit logs, monitoring dashboards, penetration tests, code audits, vulnerability reports, exploit proofs-of-concept, threat models, incident response plans, forensics, and remediation work product; (vi) protocol, product, and research information including but not limited to blockchain or protocol designs and parameters, consensus mechanisms, cross-chain or bridging designs, oracle integrations, governance mechanisms and strategies, token economics, issuance/vesting/liquidity plans, market-making arrangements, pricing logic, algorithms, models, datasets, simulations, experiments, A/B tests, and roadmaps; (vii) operational information including but not limited to runbooks, reliability playbooks, cloud and infrastructure configurations, container images, deployment schedules, support and ticketing records, vendor integrations, API keys and tokens; (viii) employee personnel and payroll information for employees other than me; (ix) lists and information regarding contractors, consultants, advisors, vendors, suppliers, or investors; (x) developments, inventions, processes, compositions, formulas, techniques, technology, devices, designs, plans and drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, work-in-process, databases, manuals, or any trade secrets, know-how, or intellectual property; (xi) training materials of any kind; (xii) financial statements, forecasts and budgets, accounting records, accounting information and other financial information; (xiii) any other business information identified as confidential or reasonably understood to be confidential relating to the Company which is disclosed to me or created, developed or generated by me during the course of my employment; and (xiv) any notes, documents, summaries, memoranda or other compilations or documents that reference, are based on or incorporate any of the foregoing. "Confidential Information" also includes information that the Company receives from third parties (*e.g.*, the Company's customers, suppliers, investors, vendors, contractors, consultants, advisors, partners, or collaborators), including, but not limited to, a third party's personal information, business practices, technology, intellectual property, and information related to the business conducted between the Company and such third parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. "Confidential Information" does not include any information that: (i) arises from my general training, knowledge, skill, or experience, whether gained on the job or otherwise; (ii) is readily ascertainable to the relevant public through no wrongful act of mine or of others who were under confidentiality obligations; or (iii) I otherwise have a right to disclose as legally protected conduct.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. I understand that my unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information during my employment may lead to disciplinary action, up to and including termination and legal action by the Company. If there is any reasonable question about whether particular information constitutes Confidential Information or may be properly disclosed, I will seek authorization from an officer of the Company. I represent that my performance of all of the terms of this Agreement has not breached and will not breach any other agreement by which I am bound to hold in confidence proprietary information acquired by me from any other party. I agree that I will not, during my employment with the Company, improperly use or disclose any proprietary information or trade secrets of any other party and I will not bring such information onto the Company's premises.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.** **Intellectual Property**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. **Assignment; Company IP.** I understand and agree that works of authorship that I create within the scope of my employment with the Company will be considered "works made for hire" to the maximum extent permitted by the Copyright Act. I hereby assign to the Company all right, title and interest to all patents and patent applications, all inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analyses, drawings, reports and all similar or related information (in each case whether or not patentable), all copyrights and copyrightable works (to the extent not deemed "works made for hire"), all trade secrets, confidential information and know-how, and all other intellectual property rights (collectively the "**Intellectual Property**") that are conceived, reduced to practice, developed or made by me during my employment with the Company (including prior to my signing this Agreement) (collectively the "**Company IP**") and I will promptly disclose all Company IP to the Company. The term "Company IP" will not include any Intellectual Property that (i) I cannot be required to so assign by law (including, without limitation, pursuant to the applicable statutory provision for my state of employment, if any), or (ii) otherwise meets all of the following requirements: (A) the Intellectual Property is developed entirely on my own time, (B) the Intellectual Property is developed entirely without use of any of the Company's facilities, equipment, Confidential Information or other assets, and (C) the Intellectual Property is not useful for or related to the business of the Company or the Company's actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development. I understand and agree that the decision whether or not to commercialize or market any Intellectual Property developed by me solely or jointly with others is within the Company's sole discretion and for the Company's sole benefit and that no royalty or other consideration will be due to me as a result of the Company's efforts to commercialize or market any such Intellectual Property.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. **Moral Rights.** To the extent allowed by law, the assignment in <u>Section 3(a)</u> includes all rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as "moral rights," "artist's rights," "droit moral," or the like (collectively "**Moral Rights**"). To the extent I retain any Moral Rights under applicable law, I hereby ratify and consent to any action that may be taken with respect to such Moral Rights by or authorized by the Company and agree not to assert any Moral Rights with respect thereto. I will confirm any such ratifications, consents and agreements from time to time as requested by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. **Records.** In order to ensure that the Company will be able to acquire, perfect and use Company IP, I will: (i) transfer possession, ownership, and title to media, models, and other tangible objects containing Company IP to the Company; (ii) sign any documents at the Company's request to assist the Company in the documentation, perfection, and enforcement of its rights, and (iii) provide the Company with support and reasonable access to information for recording, perfecting, securing, defending, and enforcing its right, title and interest in and to all Company IP. I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agents and attorneys-in-fact, coupled with an interest and with full power of substitution, to act for and on my behalf to execute and file any documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts in order to perfect the foregoing assignments and the Company's other rights under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d. **Prior Intellectual Property.** I have listed on Exhibit A a detailed description of all Intellectual Property that I have created prior to commencement of my employment with the Company that in any way relates to the Company's business and to which I retain any ownership rights or interest ("**Prior Intellectual Property**"). If no such list is provided, I represent that there is no Prior Intellectual Property. If, in the course of my employment with the Company, I incorporate into the Company a product, process, service, work of authorship or other work product, or use in connection with my employment with the Company, any Prior Intellectual Property in which I have rights, then I agree to promptly advise the Company and I hereby grant to the Company a nonexclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license (with unlimited right to sublicense) to make, use, sell, import, export, reproduce, copy, transmit, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, and make derivative works based upon, such Prior Intellectual Property.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e. **Non-Assigned IP**. If any part of the Company IP is based on, incorporates, or is an improvement or derivative of, or cannot be reasonably and fully made, used, reproduced, distributed and otherwise exploited without using or violating any technology or intellectual property rights that are owned by or licensed to me and which are not or cannot be assigned pursuant to <u>Section 3(a)</u> for any reason, I hereby grant the Company and its successors a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, non- exclusive, sublicensable right and license to exploit and exercise all such technology and intellectual property rights in support of the Company's exercise or exploitation of the Company IP, other work or information performed or provided hereunder, or any assigned rights (including any modifications, improvements and derivatives of any of them).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. **No Conflicts**. I listed on Exhibit A all agreements that may restrict my ability to disclose or use any Prior Intellectual Property. I acknowledge that there is no agreement that prevents me from accepting employment with, or performing my duties for, the Company. I will not enter into any agreements that conflict with the terms of this Agreement. If the Company is sued based on any obligation or agreement to which I am a party or am bound (other than my agreements with the Company), I agree to fully indemnify the Company for any and all losses the Company incurs, as well as any reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, as a result of any legal action related to such breach of my obligations or agreements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **Termination Certification**. If my employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, I agree to immediately: (a) update all of my social media accounts, including but not limited to Facebook, LinkedIn, and X (formerly known as Twitter) to delete any information, assertions or suggestions to the effect that I am a current employee of the Company or otherwise affiliated with the Company; and (b) sign and deliver to the Company the Termination Certification in the form attached as Exhibit B. I also agree to keep the Company advised of my home and business address for one (1) year after termination of my employment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **Return of Company Property**. I agree that within five (5) business days of termination of my employment for any reason, or upon request by the Company at any time, I will return and will not keep in my possession, recreate, or deliver to anyone else, any and all Confidential Information and Company property, including, but not limited to, electronic devices, equipment, documents, notes, files, and business information in any form. In the event that any of such documents, notes, files, and business information are not stored in tangible form capable of exclusive re-delivery, I will upon the Company's request promptly destroy all such copies of same in lieu of surrendering them to the Company, with written confirmation of such destruction given to the Company. I agree to participate in an exit interview and to confirm in writing that I have returned all Company property.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **Trade Secrets**. I understand that under the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), or any other applicable law, nothing in this Agreement prevents me from, or exposes me to criminal or civil liability under any federal or state trade secret law for, (a) directly or indirectly sharing any of the Company's trade secrets or Confidential Information with an attorney or with any federal, state, or local government agencies, regulators, or officials for the purpose of investigating or reporting a suspected violation of law, or (b) disclosing the Company's trade secrets in a filing in connection with a legal claim, provided that such filing is made under seal. I acknowledge and understand that unless authorized under this Section, the misappropriation, unauthorized use, unauthorized taking, or unauthorized disclosure of any of the Company's trade secrets could result in civil liability under applicable state and federal law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. **Publicity.** I hereby consent to any and all uses and displays, by the Company and its agents, of my name, voice, likeness, image, appearance, and biographical information in, on or in connection with any pictures, photographs, audio and video recordings, digital images, websites, television programs and advertising, other advertising, sales, and marketing brochures, books, magazines, other publications, CDs, DVDs, tapes, and all other printed and electronic forms and media throughout the world, at any time during or after the period of my employment by the Company, for all legitimate business purposes of the Company ("**Permitted Uses**"). I hereby forever release the Company and its directors, officers, employees, and agents from any and all claims, actions, damages, losses, costs, expenses, and liability of any kind, arising under any legal or equitable theory whatsoever at any time during or after the period of my employment by the Company, in connection with any Permitted Use. I understand that no special compensation will be provided to me for use of my image and that I may not be informed in advance of the specific use of my image.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. **Non-Solicitation of Customers and Employees.** I understand and acknowledge that the Company's business and employment relationships are critically important, extremely valuable, and the result of the expenditure of time, effort, and substantial resources by the Company, and that the loss of its business and employment relationships would cause significant and irreparable harm to the Company. I therefore agree and covenant that during the period of my employment and for twelve (12) months thereafter (collectively, the "**Restricted Period**"), not to directly or indirectly induce, solicit, or attempt to persuade (whether in person, through social media or other electronic or non-electronic communication, or otherwise) any (a) customer, limited partner, or other business relation of the Company whom I had Business Contact (as defined below) or about whom I received or access Confidential Information to cease doing business with the Company and any (b) employee, independent contractor or other agent of the Company or any of its affiliates who worked or provided services at any time during the twelve (12) month period preceding the termination of my employment, regardless of the reason of the termination, to terminate his or her employment or other relationship or association with the Company or any such affiliate in order to enter into any employment relationship with or perform services for any other person or entity. For purposes of this Agreement, "**Business Contact**" means any communication, contact or interaction which takes place in the context of establishing, developing, maintaining, servicing or otherwise furthering a business relationship of transaction while employed by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. **New Employment / Notice to Third Parties**. I agree to inform any individual or entity with whom I may seek to enter into a business or employment relationship of my obligations under this Agreement. I acknowledge that the Company may notify third parties without providing notice to me.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. **Non-Disparagement**. I understand and agree that the Company's reputation, brand, and goodwill are extremely valuable and the result of a substantial expenditure of its time, effort, and resources. Therefore, I will not make, or cause to be made, any statement or disclosure that disparages the Company, or any director, officer, employee, or customer of the Company, or assist any other person, business, or entity to do so; provided, however, that nothing herein shall preclude me from testifying as required by lawful subpoena or other legal process or making good faith reports to governing regulatory bodies or authorities or as otherwise provided in <u>Section 12</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. **Permitted Disclosures.** Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit me from confidentially or otherwise (without informing the Company or its affiliates) communicating or filing a charge or complaint with a federal, state, local or other governmental agency or regulatory (including self-regulatory) entity, including concerning alleged or suspected criminal conduct or unlawful employment practices; participating in a governmental agency or regulatory entity investigation (or proceeding); or giving truthful testimony, statements, or disclosures to a governmental agency or regulatory entity, or if properly subpoenaed or otherwise required to do so under applicable law, including any regulation or legal process; or requesting or receiving confidential legal advice (at my own expense); or exercising protected rights under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act including but not limited to any protected right to communicate about lawfully acquired compensation information or other working conditions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. **Technology**. I acknowledge that I have no reasonable expectation of privacy in any computer, technology system, email, handheld device, telephone, or documents that are used to conduct the Company's business. The Company has the right to audit and search all such items and systems, without further notice to me, and in its sole discretion. I also understand that I am not permitted to add any unlicensed, unauthorized or non-compliant applications, or unlicensed software to the Company's technology systems.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.** **General Provisions**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. **Representations and Affirmations**. I acknowledge and agree that I have been advised by the Company to consult with a lawyer before entering into this Agreement. I expressly represent and warrant that my execution of this Agreement is knowing and voluntary, and that I was given sufficient time to review this Agreement prior to my acceptance of employment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. **Entire Agreement.** The provisions of this Agreement together with the attached Exhibits which are incorporated herein by reference constitute the entire agreement on these subjects between me and the Company. No other promises or agreements shall be binding or shall modify this Agreement unless reduced to writing and signed by me and the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. **Jury Trial Waiver.** I ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT I AM WAIVING MY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d. **Binding Arbitration**. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and in order to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information, any disputes relating to my employment by the Company, this Agreement or any other agreement between the Company and/or any affiliate of the Company and me, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate (the "Included Claims") shall be exclusively *determined by binding arbitration before one arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those Rules. The Parties specifically adopt and agree to the exclusive use of JAMS' Emergency Relief procedures at Rule (c) of JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures to address any requests for emergency relief, including without limitation requests for preliminary injunctive relief, temporary restraining orders and/or any ex parte applications.* This arbitration requirement shall not apply to any discrimination or harassment matters, criminal matters, matters for which arbitration is prohibited by law, or claims for unemployment or workers compensation (the "Excluded Claims") and shall not prevent me from filing a charge with the EEOC or any other government agency; provided that, unless prohibited by applicable law, any subsequent legal action shall be subject to individual arbitration as provided herein. I understand that nothing in this <u>Section 14 (d)</u> prohibits me from:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) reporting
 any good faith allegation of unlawful employment practices to any appropriate federal, state,
 or local government agency enforcing discrimination laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) reporting
 any good faith allegation of criminal conduct to any appropriate federal, state, or local
 official;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) participating
 in a proceeding with any appropriate federal, state, or local government agency enforcing
 discrimination laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) making
 any truthful statements or disclosures required by law, regulation, or legal process;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) filing
 a claim for workers' compensation or unemployment benefits; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) requesting
 or receiving confidential legal advice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e. **Applicable Law and Venue.** I agree and acknowledge that all provisions of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any arbitration under Section 14(d) shall be conducted in Orange County, Florida. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction in Orange County, Florida.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f. **Enforcement.** Unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law, I agree to pay all costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, that the Company may incur in enforcing or defending this Agreement. If any action is brought by the Company for a violation of any the provisions in this Agreement, I agree that because of the immediate and irreparable injury the Company would sustain if such violation continued, an arbitrator may enter an order enjoining me from violating any provision of this Agreement. An arbitrator may enter this order temporarily, preliminarily, or as part of a final judgment in the litigation, all without a requirement that the Company post a bond. If contrary to this provision, an arbitrator shall require the Company to post bond in connection with the entry of an injunctive order, I agree that such bond shall be without surety and may stand as the Company's own undertaking. The Company's application for injunctive relief shall not prejudice any other claim or cause of action which it may pursue for a violation of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g. **Tolling.** I understand that the running of any restricted period under <u>Section 9</u> shall be tolled during any period of breach by me and during any dispute concerning the breach, applicability, scope, or duration of those restrictions, until final resolution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;h. **Blue-Pencil.** If any prohibition or restriction in <u>Sections 2 and/or 9</u> is found unenforceable, it shall be modified or limited to the extent necessary to render it enforceable and then enforced.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. **Severability.** Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law (after any appropriate modification or limitation pursuant to <u>Section 14(h)</u>, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of the Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;j. **Non-Waiver.** Failure by the Company to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the Company's right to require performance anytime thereafter, nor shall waiver of any breach or default of this Agreement constitute waiver of any subsequent breach or default or waiver of the provision itself. The Company's waiver, for whatever reason, of the terms of any confidentiality and/or non-solicitation agreement between it and any employee or independent contractor will not operate as a waiver or release of my obligations under this Agreement and may not be used as evidence of the Company's intent to waive any of the terms of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;k. **Successors and Assigns.** This Agreement will be binding upon my heirs, executors, assigns, administrators and other legal representatives and will be for the benefit of the Company, its successors, and its assigns. I may not assign my duties or obligations under this Agreement without the Company's express written consent and any assignment without consent will be considered null and void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;l. **Acknowledgements**. I acknowledge and agree that compliance with the terms of this Agreement is necessary to protect the business and goodwill of the Company and that a breach will irreparably and continually damage the Company for which money damages may not be adequate. I expressly acknowledge that the Company is providing employment and substantial compensation in exchange for my adherence to the provisions of this Agreement, including but not limited to my confidentiality and non-solicitation obligations. I understand my duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement and agree that the restrictions contained in this Agreement are reasonable and valid. I agree that the protective provisions of this Agreement are necessary and reasonable to protect the Company in the conduct of its business and to protect the Company in the utilization of its assets, tangible and intangible, including its goodwill and confidential and proprietary information. I understand that the rights and obligations contained in this Agreement will survive the termination of this Agreement. I understand that irreparable damage would result to the Company if the provisions of this Agreement are not specifically enforced.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;m. **Voluntary agreement.** I acknowledge that I have carefully read and understand this Agreement, I have had the opportunity to propose modifications prior to signing the Agreement, and I had the opportunity to negotiate proposed modifications to the extent that I thought necessary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;n. **Construction and Interpretation.** This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and executed electronically or by email. Such execution will be considered an original for all purposes and all counterparts will be considered one instrument. The section and paragraph headings contained herein are for convenience of reference only. I agree that this Agreement shall be fairly interpreted in accordance with its terms and that ambiguities shall not be interpreted against the drafting party.

By signing this Agreement, I agree to the terms of this Agreement, acknowledge that I understand this Agreement, consent to this Agreement, and execute this Agreement.
