RE:    Confidential Separation Agreement and General Release
Dear Tim,
This will confirm our offer concerning the separation of your employment with Curation Foods, Inc. (“Company”), effective on October 11, 2021 (the “Separation Date”).  Provided you accept this Confidential Separation Agreement and General Release (the “Agreement”) such that it becomes effective and enforceable pursuant to Paragraph 3(B), you will receive the Conditional Separation Benefits outlined in Paragraph 2 of this Agreement.  If you elect not to accept this Agreement or if you timely revoke your acceptance of it, then you will receive only the Unconditional Separation Benefits identified in Paragraph 1.  
(1)Unconditional Separation Benefits.  Whether or not you choose to sign this Agreement and accept the terms it contains or, having done so, exercise your rights to revoke your acceptance of these terms, the following circumstances will apply to you:
(A)The Company will pay you your regular base wages through your last date of employment with the Company;
(B)The Company will pay you for any vacation that you have accrued but not used through your last date of employment with the Company; 
(C)You will retain all your vested rights, if any, as of last date of your employment with the Company in the Company’s 401(k) plan and will receive all payments due you under the terms of that plan; 
(D)If you were a participant in the Company’s group health insurance plan on the last date of your employment with the Company, the Company will provide you with the right to participate, paid by the Company for 6 months, in such plan in accordance with the mandates of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”).  If you exercise these rights in a timely manner, your coverage under the Company’s group health insurance plan will cease as of April 30, 2022. As of your last date of employment with the Company, you will cease to participate in all other benefit plans; and 

PERSONAL & CONFIDENTIAL

(2)Conditional Separation Benefits. Conditioned upon you signing and returning this Agreement no earlier than the Separation Date and no later than the 45th day after you first receive it, not timely revoking your acceptance (see Paragraph (3)(B)(iii)) and complying with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you will be entitled to receive the amounts specified in subparagraphs (A) and (B) below:
(A)    Cash Benefit.  The Company will pay you the gross amount of $258,633.18 which is equivalent to 39 weeks of your regular, base wages in effect on the Separation Date.  The amount in the foregoing sentence will be paid to you by the Company in 20 substantially equal installments in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices and schedule, beginning on the first regularly-scheduled Company pay date that occurs after the 60th day after the Separation Date provided this Agreement has become effective and enforceable as of that date.  
(B)    RSU Benefit.  You will be made 100% vested in the 17,500 Restricted Stock Units that were granted to you under the Landec Corporation 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) on July 25, 2019 (the “RSUs”) and which RSUs are evidenced by that certain Stock Unit Agreement signed by you on August 1, 2019 (the “RSU Award Agreement”). The full vesting of the RSUs will occur on the first business day following the end of the Revocation Period; as provided under Section 4 of the RSU Award Agreement, the RSUs will be automatically settled in shares of Landec Corporation common stock upon vesting, provided that you have satisfied any applicable withholding obligations as set forth in Section 6 of the RSU Award Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Paragraph (2)(B) shall apply only to the RSUs reference above and shall not extend to any other equity awards which may have been granted to you under the Plan.  To the extent you are not vested in other equity awards that were granted to you under the Plan, the unvested portion(s) of those award(s) will be permanently and irrevocably forfeited effective upon your Separation Date.
The Conditional Separation Benefits paid to you pursuant to this Paragraph 2 will be subject to normal deductions for income and employment taxes and other authorized deductions in accordance with applicable law. The Company will not contest your application for unemployment compensation benefits; provided, however, that this Paragraph shall not prevent the Company from providing the applicable unemployment authority, upon request from such authority, with information regarding the payment described, above, or other information requested by the unemployment authority in the reasonable fulfillment of its administration of your unemployment compensation.
(3)Your Undertakings.  In exchange for the Conditional Separation Benefits provided to you under Paragraph 2 above and other good and valuable consideration, and intending to be legally bound by this Agreement, you agree as follows:
(A)General Release of Claims.  You agree, on behalf of yourself, your heirs, representatives, successors, and assigns, to release the Company and its past and present parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, and related entities and their respective past and present officers, directors, stockholders, managers, members, partners, employees, agents, attorneys, insurers, predecessors, successors, representatives, and assigns (collectively the “Released Parties”), collectively, separately, and severally, of and from any and all rights, rights of action,

The claims released by this general release include, but are not limited to: (a) all claims arising under any federal, state or local statute, code, rule, regulation, ordinance, order, constitutional provision, public policy or common law, including all claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Equal Pay Act, the Civil Rights Acts of 1866, 1871 and 1991, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”), the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the California Family Rights Act, California Parental Leave Law, the California Paid Family Leave Act, California Labor Code Section 132a (1) to (4), all as amended, and any other employee-protective law of any jurisdiction that may apply; (b) all claims arising under discrimination laws, whistleblower laws and laws relating to violation of public policy, retaliation, or interference with legal rights; (c) all claims for compensation of any type whatsoever, including but not limited to claims for wages (except for accrued and unused vacation, PTO or sick pay), bonuses, commissions, incentive compensation, profit participation, equity, phantom equity, benefits, separation payments (except as expressly provided in this Agreement), and expenses; (d) all claims arising under or for breach of any Company program, policy, practice, contract, agreement or understanding, whether written, oral, express or implied (except this Agreement), including without limitation any claim for breach of any covenant of good faith and fair dealing; (e) all claims for promissory estoppel, quantum meruit, unjust enrichment, or detrimental reliance; (f) all tort claims (including claims for wrongful termination, negligence, fraud, slander, libel, defamation, disparagement, invasion of privacy, and negligent or intentional infliction of emotional distress); and (g) all claims for monetary, equitable or other relief of any kind including without limitation back pay, front pay, reinstatement, damages, injunctive relief, attorneys’ fees, expert fees, medical fees, expenses, costs and disbursements.

If you are age 40 or older, your acceptance of this agreement also will release any and all claims under the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the general release of claims in this Paragraph does not extend to workers compensation benefits, to unemployment compensation benefits, or to any other rights or benefits that, as a matter of law, may not be waived, including but not limited to unwaivable rights you might have under federal and/or state law.

PERSONAL & CONFIDENTIAL

Company or the Released Parties, including the recovery of money damages, reinstatement or other legal or equitable relief, as a result of filing a charge or complaint with a government agency against the Company and/or any of the Released Parties, with the exception of any right to receive an award for information provided to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
You also acknowledge that you have been advised of California Civil Code Section 1542, which reads as follows:  
A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.
You agree that you are waiving any and all rights you may have under California Civil Code Section 1542 with respect to the general release of claims in Paragraph 3(A) of this Agreement.  In connection with this waiver, you acknowledge that you may hereafter discover claims presently unknown or unsuspected, or facts in addition to or different from those which you may now know or believe to be true, with respect to the claims released pursuant to Paragraph 3(A).  Nevertheless, you intend to and do by this Agreement release, fully, finally and forever, in the manner described in Paragraph 3(A), all such claims as provided therein.  This Agreement shall constitute the full and absolute release of all claims and rights released in this Agreement, notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any additional or different claims or facts relating thereto.

You have been informed in writing as to (i) the class, unit, or group of individuals covered by the program that resulted in the termination of your employment, any eligibility factors for such program, and any time limits applicable to such program, and (ii) the job titles and ages of all individuals eligible or selected for the program, and the ages of all individuals in the same job classification or organizational unit who are not eligible or selected for the program, a copy of such information being attached hereto as Exhibit A.

You agree that any revisions made to this Agreement after it was initially delivered to you were either 
4

PERSONAL & CONFIDENTIAL

not material or were requested by you, and do not re-start the Consideration Period.  You are hereby advised to consult with an attorney of your own choosing prior to signing this Agreement. 
(iii)Revocation Period; Effective Date.  You understand that you may revoke this Agreement within seven (7) days after you have signed it (the “Revocation Period”).

(i)There are no pending complaints, charges or lawsuits filed by you against any of the Released Parties;

PERSONAL & CONFIDENTIAL

(D)Confidentiality.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree that you will not disclose, directly or indirectly, the existence or terms of our agreement concerning these matters to any third party; provided, however, that following your obtaining a promise of confidentiality for the benefit of the Company from your tax preparer, accountant, attorney, and spouse, you may disclose the terms of this agreement to such of these individuals who have made such a promise of confidentiality.  This provision shall not prevent you from disclosing such matters in testifying in any hearing, trial or other legal proceeding where you are required to do so.
(E)Non-Disparagement.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree not to make any statement, written or verbal, to any person or entity, including in any forum or media, or take any action, in disparagement of the Company or the Released Parties (including negative references to the Company’s products, services, partners, attorneys, officers, or employees).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall apply to or restrict in any way the communication of any information by you, in whatever form, to: (i) any person acting on behalf of the Company in connection with any internal investigation or review; (ii) any person acting on behalf of a government agency conducting an investigation about which you have relevant information; or (iii) any other person if required by a lawfully issued subpoena or court order.  If you respond or communicate with any person or entity described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, you shall notify the Company in advance of such response or communication unless prohibited or prevented by law.  
(F)Restrictive Covenants Survive.  Any agreements that you previously executed in favor of the Company that pertain in whole or in part to the protection of confidential information, trade secrets, the assignment of intellectual property, and/or non-solicitation of employees, (collectively “Restrictive Covenants”) shall survive this Agreement and your separation from employment with the Company and you shall continue to be bound by those Restrictive Covenants in accordance with their terms.  For avoidance of doubt, to the extent such an agreement includes terms and provisions in addition to Restrictive Covenants, only the Restrictive Covenants and related provisions regarding the interpretation and enforcement of the Restrictive Covenants shall survive, not the additional terms and provisions. 
(G)Protected Rights.   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement or the Restrictive Covenants limits your ability to file a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal, state or local government agency or commission (collectively, “Government Agencies”), or prevents you from providing truthful testimony in response to a lawfully-issued subpoena or court order.  Further, this Agreement does not limit your ability to communicate with any Government Agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing non-privileged documents or other information, without notice to the Company.  
(4)Miscellaneous.  Should you accept the terms of this Agreement, its terms will be governed by the following additional terms.

PERSONAL & CONFIDENTIAL

(A)This Agreement constitutes the complete understanding between you and the Company concerning all matters affecting your employment with the Company and the termination thereof.  If you accept and do not timely revoke this Agreement, it supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and practices concerning such matters between you and the Company, including, but not limited to, any personnel documents, handbooks, policies, incentive or bonus plans or programs, and any prior customs or practices of the Company; provided, however, that the Restrictive Covenants shall survive this Agreement and your separation from employment with the Company as provided in Paragraph 3(F) above.  
(B)You agree and acknowledge that this Agreement provides you with benefits from the Company which, in their totality, are greater than those to which you otherwise would be entitled.
(C)Nothing in this Agreement, including the general release, should be construed as an admission of wrongdoing or liability on the part of the Released Parties, who expressly deny any liability whatsoever.
(D)This Agreement and its interpretation shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California and shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.  
(E)In the event that you breach any provision of this Agreement, you agree that the Company may suspend its further performance (including all additional payments) under this Agreement, recover any damages suffered as a result of such breach and recover from you any reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs it incurs as a result of your breach.  In addition, you agree that the Company may seek injunctive or other equitable relief as a result of a breach by you of any provision of this agreement.  In no case, however, shall the release provided in Paragraph 3(A), above, be revoked or terminated if you accept this agreement as provided in Paragraph 3(B), above, and do not timely revoke your acceptance within the Revocation Period.
(F)If a court of competent jurisdiction adjudicates any covenant or obligation under this Agreement void or unenforceable, then the parties intend that the court modify such provision only to the extent necessary to render the covenant or obligation enforceable as modified or, if the covenant or obligation cannot be so modified, the parties intend that the court sever such covenant or obligation, and that the remainder of this Agreement, and all remaining covenants, obligations and provisions as so modified, shall remain valid, enforceable, and in full force and effect.
(G)Except as expressly provided in Paragraph 4(F), no provision of this Agreement may be amended, changed, altered, or modified except in writing signed by you and a duly-authorized representative of the Company, which writing shall specifically reference this Agreement and the provision(s) that the parties intend to modify.
(H)You may not assign this Agreement or any part hereof, and any purported assignment by you shall be null and void from the initial date of purported assignment.  This Agreement shall be assignable by the Company and inure to the benefit of the Company and its 
7

PERSONAL & CONFIDENTIAL

successors and assigns.  Each of the Released Parties is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement having full rights to enforce this Agreement.  Except as stated in the preceding sentence, this Agreement does not confer any rights or remedies upon any person or entity other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
(I)Payments pursuant to this Agreement are intended to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and accompanying regulations and other binding guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”), and the provisions of this Agreement will be administered, interpreted and construed accordingly.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, payments provided under this Agreement may only be made upon an event and in a manner that complies with Section 409A or an applicable exemption.  Any payments under this Agreement that may be excluded from Section 409A either as separation pay due to an involuntary separation from service or as a short-term deferral shall be excluded from Section 409A to the maximum extent possible, and the Company may in its discretion change the timing of the payment of the amounts under this Agreement to the extent such amounts fall within one of these exemptions.  For purposes of Section 409A, each installment payment provided under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment.  Any payments to be made under this Agreement upon a termination of employment shall only be made upon a “separation from service” under Section 409A.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement comply with Section 409A and in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by you on account of non-compliance with Section 409A.
(J)This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and when each Party has signed and delivered one such counterpart to the other Parties hereto, each counterpart shall be deemed an original and taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, which shall be binding and effective as to each of the Parties.  A facsimile or scanned (e.g., .PDF, etc.) signature shall be deemed to be an original.  
By signing this Agreement, you acknowledge that you do so voluntarily after carefully reading and fully understanding each provision and all of the effects of this Agreement, which includes a release of known and unknown claims and restricts future legal action against the Company and other Released Parties.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 805-249-5239.
Very truly yours,

by and between IMMUNIC, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Patrick Walsh (the “Employee”).

 

WHEREAS, the
Company desires that the Employee joins the Company to serve in the capacity of Chief Business Officer of the Company, and the Employee
has agreed to serve in such position in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement;

 

NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein, and for other valuable consideration, the Company and the Employee
hereby agree as follows:

 

1.                 
Certain Definitions. The following terms, as used herein, have the following meanings:

 

(a)              
“Cause” means one or more of the following: (i) the Employee’s willful failure to perform his duties
hereunder or the lawful directives of the Company’s Board of Directors or nominees thereof (other than as a result of illness or
injury), (ii) the conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere by, the Employee to, a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude,
(iii) the Employee’s commission of any willful acts of personal dishonesty in connection with his responsibilities as an employee
of the Company that could reasonably be expected to materially impair or damage the property, goodwill, reputation, business or finances
of the Company, (iv) the Employee’s willful and material violation of the Company’s policies regarding ethics or conduct (including
sexual harassment and other similar policies) that could reasonably be expected to impair or damage the property, goodwill, reputation,
business or finances of the Company or its affiliates or (v) the Employee’s breach of his obligations under the Confidentiality
Agreement.

 

(b)              
“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) a change in the ownership
of the Company which occurs on the date that any one person or entity, or more than one person or entity acting as a group (collectively,
a “Person” for purposes of this definition), acquires ownership of the stock of the Company that, together with
the stock held by such Person, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of the stock of the Company; (ii) a
change in the effective control of the Company which occurs on the date that a majority of members of the Company’s Board of Directors
is replaced during any twelve (12) month period by Directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members
of the Company’s Board of Directors prior to the date of the appointment or election; or (iii) change in the ownership of a substantial
portion of the Company’s assets which occurs on the date that any Person acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12) month
period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such Person or Persons) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair
market value equal to or more than fifty percent (50%) of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately
prior to such acquisition or acquisitions; provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (iii), the following will not constitute
a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets: (A) a transfer to an entity that is controlled by the
Company’s stockholders immediately after the transfer, or (B) a transfer of assets by the Company to: (1) a stockholder of the Company
(immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to the Company’s stock, or (2) an entity, fifty percent

(iii), gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined
without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets. For purposes of this definition, Persons will be considered to be acting
as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar
business transaction with the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed a Change of Control unless the
transaction qualifies as a change in control event within the meaning of Code Section 409A, as it has been and may be amended from time
to time, and any proposed or final Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance that has been promulgated or may be promulgated
thereunder from time to time. Further and for the avoidance of doubt, a transaction will not constitute a Change of Control if: (i) its
sole purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation, or (ii) its sole purpose is to create a holding company that
will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction.

his death or Non-Renewal.

 

(e)              
“Disabled” or “Disability” means a mental or physical condition that renders
the Employee substantially incapable of performing his duties and obligations under this Agreement, after taking into account provisions
for reasonable accommodation, as determined by a medical doctor (such doctor to be mutually determined in good faith by the parties) for

(f)               
“Good Reason” means, unless the Employee has consented in writing thereto, the occurrence of any of the
following: (i) the assignment to the Employee of any duties materially inconsistent with the Employee’s position, including any
change in status, title, authority, duties or responsibilities or any other action which results in a material diminution in such status,
title, authority, duties or responsibilities, (ii) a material reduction in the Employee’s Base Salary by the Company or (iii) the
relocation of the Employee’s office to a location more than fifty (50) miles from his current residence in Massachusetts.

shall be the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Effective Date. From time to time, the Employee may receive additional
equity incentive awards under the Equity Plan (or under any other equity incentive plan adopted by the Company to supplement or succeed
the Equity Plan) subject to such terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine.

 

(e)              
Benefits. During the Term of Employment, the Employee shall be entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans, programs

set forth in such written notice or immediately upon delivery of such written notice if no effective date is specified in the written
notice. For avoidance of doubt, if the Employee’s employment is terminated pursuant to this Section 6(b), his employment
will not constitute a termination of employment by the Company without Cause or by the Employee for Good Reason.

Termination by the Company for Cause. Upon the occurrence of any act or omission that constitutes Cause, the Company may

imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred with respect to such excise tax by the Employee (such excise
tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”),

Employee would retain after payment of all applicable Federal, state and local taxes after applying such reduction. Unless otherwise elected

(a)              
The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A of the
Code and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent.
The Employee’s termination of employment (or words to similar effect) shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this
Agreement unless such termination of employment constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section
409A and the regulations and other guidance promulgated thereunder.

 

    12 

    

    

 

(b)              
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Employee is deemed on the date of the Employee’s
separation from service to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B) and
using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time, or if none, the default methodology set forth in Code
