In the event of termination of the Consulting Agreement by Paycom as described in the preceding sentence, Paycom will be entitled to reimbursement of the Fees paid to Ms. Walker.

Pursuant to the Release Agreement, Ms. Walker agreed to (i) the cancellation of certain unvested equity incentive awards previously granted under the Paycom Software, Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan and under the Paycom Software, Inc. 2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan and (ii) a release of claims against the Company and its successors, assigns, parents, divisions, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and its present and former officers, directors, employees, agents, fiduciaries, and employee benefit plans.
