Exhibit 10.1

SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE 

        THIS SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE (“Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between Invacare Corporation, an Ohio corporation (the "Company") and Matthew E. Monaghan ("Executive"), with an Effective Date as defined herein.

W I T N E S S E T H:

        WHEREAS, pursuant to an Employment Agreement between the Company and Executive dated March 27, 2020, (“Employment Agreement”), Executive has been employed by the Company as its President and Chief Executive Officer and has been serving as a Director on its Board.
     
        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, Executive and the Company hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I -- CONSIDERATION

Section 1.1.Separation. The Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated effective August 28, 2022 ("Date of Separation").  The parties acknowledge and agree that the terms of Executive’s separation shall be as stated in this Agreement.  Executive, through his signature below, resigns from the Company’s Board of Directors without any disagreement or dispute with the Company or its Board, and resigns as a director, officer, manager, or any other role for any Affiliate of the Company, effective as of the Date of Separation.   
Section 1.2.  Salary Continuation.  Provided that the Executive signs the General Release of Claims attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A (the “Release”), and such Release is not revoked during the time period specified therein, then, the Company shall pay each month from January 2023 through and including June 2023, two times the Employee’s regular monthly pay as of the Date of Separation, less applicable payroll taxes and withholdings. Each semi-monthly payment will be made on the regular pay day and shall be consistent with the Company's regular payroll practices. For purposes of payroll deductions, taxes and related calculations, the Executive’s location of employment and pay will be his home address. For the avoidance of doubt, the total payments pursuant to this Section 1.2 will be the equivalent of 12 months of the Executive’s regular monthly pay as of the Date of Separation (less the applicable payroll taxes and withholdings) paid over the six month period from January 2023 through June 2023
Section 1.3.Group Insurance Coverage.  Executive shall be entitled to continuation of coverage under the Company's health insurance plan at his own expense pursuant to any rights he may have under the federal Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, as amended ("COBRA"), part VI of Subtitle B of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"), as amended; Internal Revenue Code §4980(B)(f).  Such continuation shall be afforded up to the maximum period provided by law so long as Employee submits payments for elected coverage and otherwise complies with conditions of continuation on a timely basis. 

Should Executive elect such continued coverage, then following the Effective Date of the Release, the Company will pay all premiums for such COBRA continuation coverage for a period of up to twelve months retroactive to the Date of Separation through August 31, 
    1

2023 (the “Benefit Continuation Period”).  The Company will commence such monthly payments on the first regular pay day in January 2023 and the initial payment shall include a catchup amount to cover the COBRA coverage from the September 1, 2022, through such pay day. Executive will provide copies of his COBRA invoices to the Company for reimbursement during the Benefit Continuation Period.  If Executive obtains other health insurance coverage during the Benefit Continuation Period, the Company’s obligation to pay the premiums for continued coverage as described in this §1.3 shall terminate as of the date that Executive becomes covered by such new health insurance coverage.  To that end, Executive agrees to notify the Company of any new health insurance coverage he obtains during the Benefit Continuation Period.  After the Company ceases to pay the premiums for continued coverage as described in this §1.3, whether by expiration of the Benefit Continuation Period or upon the commencement of new health insurance coverage, then Executive must timely submit required payments and otherwise comply with conditions for continuation should he wish his benefits to be continued consistent with his legal entitlements.  

Section 1.4.Restricted Stock.  Upon the Effective Date of the Release, the unvested time-based restricted stock of the Company held by Executive, as reflected in restricted stock award agreements with grant dates as of March 27, 2020; March 12, 2021; and April 1, 2022, and with vesting date of May 15, 2023, will continue to vest through May 15, 2023 in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreements, notwithstanding any provision thereof that would cause vesting to cease prior to such date. For the avoidance of doubt, the portion of such time-based unvested restricted stock that otherwise would have remained unvested as of May 16, 2023, will be immediately forfeited in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement effective upon the Effective Date of the Release. For the avoidance of doubt, the vesting, termination, and forfeiture of any other equity awards (including stock options and performance share awards) previously granted to Executive shall be governed by the terms of their respective award agreements.
Section 1.5.Adequacy of Consideration.  Executive hereby agrees and acknowledges that the payments and benefits described in this Article I of this Agreement constitute adequate consideration, the sufficiency of which Executive acknowledges, for all of Executive’s covenants and obligations set forth herein, including, but not limited to, the Release and the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 2.1 and Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein. 

ARTICLE II -- OTHER OBLIGATIONS OF EXECUTIVE

Section 2.1.Restrictive Covenants.  Executive expressly acknowledges his agreement to all of his covenants and obligations contained in Exhibit B (the “Restrictive Covenants”).  The parties acknowledge and agree that the Technical Information and Non-Competition Agreement between the Company and Executive dated April 1, 2015 (the “Technical Information and Non-Competition Agreement”) is amended and superseded in its entirety by the provisions of Exhibit B, and the original Technical Information and Non-Competition Agreement shall be terminated and of no further force and effect as of the Effective Date without any further action by any party hereto. Executive further agrees that for a period of one (1) year following the Date of Separation, he will not interfere with any transaction involving any of the Company Entities (as defined in the Release), including by consulting with, advising or dissuading others, or involving himself in, any transaction or process related to the sale or financing of some or all of the business or assets of the Company. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Restrictive Covenants survive Executive’s separation.     

    2

Section 2.2.Transition.  Executive agrees to make himself available to answer questions concerning business concerns, operations, pending legal concerns and/or litigation, and other special assistance as reasonably may be required by the Company based on availability and reasonable notice by Company of such needs, through and including August 31, 2023, provided, however, that Executive’s obligations hereunder shall not exceed twelve (12) hours total time per month unless mutually agreed otherwise, and provided further that Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement of expenses reasonably incurred by him in his performance of his obligations under this § 2.2.
Section 2.3.Company Property.  Executive represents that he has returned all tangible personal property belonging to the Company, including, but not limited to, all keys, business equipment, and computer software and/or hardware. Company acknowledges its receipt of all such tangible property from Executive.
Section 2.4.No Disparagement.  From the Date of Separation through August 31, 2023 (the “Restrictive Covenant Period”), Executive agrees not to make any disparaging comments regarding Company, its subsidiaries or any of those employees of the Company who constitute its “named executive officers” (under SEC regulations) for purposes of the Company’s most recent proxy statement (“NEOs”).  For the duration of the Restrictive Covenant Period, Company shall cause the NEOs to not make any disparaging comments about Executive.  Executive shall refer all prospective employers to the Senior Vice President, General Counsel & Chief Administrative Officer for a neutral reference that shall be limited to dates of employment and positions held during employment.  Nothing contained in this Agreement will preclude any party or other person from (a) providing truthful information in any court, regulatory, or governmental proceeding, investigation, or inquiry, or (b) reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, or (c) making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal or state regulation. Executive represents that, to the best of his knowledge and belief, as of the Effective Date, he is not aware of any basis for his reporting or asserting any claims under any whistleblower laws concerning violations by any Company Entities of any statutes, laws, regulations or rules of any federal, state or foreign governmental agency or entity. Executive further agrees that he will not seek or retain any compensation for any whistleblower claims or reports that he may otherwise lawfully make or assert.

    3

Section 3.4.No Assignment.  This Agreement is personal in nature and shall not be assigned by Executive or the Company; provided that Company may assign this Agreement pursuant to a sale of all or a substantial part of the assets, merger or other consolidation of the Company.  All payments and benefits provided Executive herein shall be made to his estate in the event of his death prior to his receipt thereof.

Section 3.5.Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same Agreement.

Section 3.6.Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed under the laws of the State of Ohio. 

Section 3.7.Effective Date.  This Agreement shall become effective upon the Effective Date of the General Release of Claims attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A.

The obligations of the Company hereunder, including its obligation to provide the payments and benefits described in Article I of this Agreement, are contingent upon Executive’s performance of Executive’s obligations hereunder including his obligations under Exhibit B.  Executive’s obligations are contingent on Company’s performance of its obligations and continued compliance with terms of this Agreement.  
Section 3.9.Compliance with Section 409A.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) if at the Date of Separation Executive is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the deferral of the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable hereunder as a result of Executive’s termination of employment is necessary in order to prevent the imposition of any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company will defer the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to Executive) until the date that is six months following the Date of Separation (or the earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A of the Code), (ii) any reimbursements provided under this Agreement, including reimbursement of business expenses provided under Section 2.2 of this Agreement, shall be made no later than the end of Executive’s taxable year following Executive’s taxable year in which such expense was incurred; in addition, the amounts eligible for reimbursement during any one taxable year under this Agreement may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year under this Agreement, and (iii) if any other payments of money or other benefits due to Executive hereunder could cause the application of an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, such payments or other benefits shall be deferred if deferral will make such payment or other benefits compliant under Section 409A of the Code, or otherwise such payment or other benefits shall be restructured, to the extent possible, in a manner, determined by the Company, that does not cause such an accelerated or additional tax or result in an additional cost to the Company.  The Company shall consult with Executive in good faith regarding the implementation of the provisions of this Section 3.9; 
    4

provided that neither the Company nor any of its employees or representatives shall have any liability to Executive with respect thereto.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Executive and the Company agree as set forth above:

1.Executive’s Release.  For consideration in the form of the payments and benefits described in the Separation Agreement and General Release between Executive and the Company entered into as of December 5, 2022 (the “Separation Agreement”), Executive does hereby for himself and for his heirs, executors, successors and assigns, release and forever discharge the Company, its parent company(ies), subsidiaries, divisions, and affiliated businesses, direct or indirect, if any, together with its and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, management, representatives, agents, employees, successors, assigns, and attorneys, both known and unknown, in both their personal and agency capacities (collectively, “the Company Entities”) of and from any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action, suits, claims, charges, complaints, contracts, whether oral or written, express or implied and promises, at law or in equity, of whatsoever kind or nature, including but not limited to any alleged violation of any state or federal anti-discrimination or anti-retaliation statutes or regulations, including but not limited to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended, ERISA, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”), Section 806 of the Corporate and Criminal Fraud Accountability Act of 2002, Title VIII of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the False Claims Act, breach of any express or implied contract or promise, wrongful discharge, violation of public policy, or tort, all demands for attorney's fees, back pay, holiday pay, vacation pay, bonus, group insurance, any claims for reinstatement, all employee benefits and claims for money, out of pocket expenses, any claims for emotional distress, degradation, or humiliation, that Executive might now have or may subsequently have, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, by reason of any matter or thing, arising out of or in any way connected with, directly or indirectly, any acts or omissions of the Company or any of its directors, officers, shareholders, employees and/or agents arising out of Executive's employment and separation from employment which have occurred prior to the date this General Release of Claims (“Release”) becomes effective pursuant to Section 7 hereof (the “Effective Date”), except those matters specifically set forth herein, and except for any health, welfare, pension or retirement benefits, if any, which may have vested on Executive's behalf prior to his separation from employment under the generally applicable terms of such programs, and except for any claims arising solely out of Executive’s status as a shareholder of the Company, and except for any rights Executive has under any applicable policies of Directors and Officers liability insurance, and except for any rights Executive has under any Indemnity Agreement or right to indemnification pursuant to applicable law.
2.Release by Company.  In exchange for the good and valuable consideration provided by Executive under this Separation Agreement and General Release, the Company Entities hereby release and forever discharge Executive from any and all civil claims, charges, complaints, contracts, whether oral or written, express or implied and promises, at law or in equity, demands, actions or causes of action, damages, or suits at law or equity, of whatsoever kind or nature, including but not limited to, breach of any express or implied contract or promise, violation of public policy, or tort, that any Company Entity might now have or may subsequently have, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, by reason of any matter or thing, arising out of or in any way connected with, directly or indirectly, Executive's employment and separation from employment or any acts or omissions of Executive, which have occurred on or prior to the Effective Date.
    6

3.Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (“OWBPA”).  Executive recognizes and understands that, by executing this Release, he shall be releasing the Company Entities from any claims that he now has, may have, or subsequently may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, 29 U.S.C. §§621, et seq., as amended, by reason of any matter or thing arising out of, or in any way connected with, directly or indirectly, any acts or omissions which have occurred prior to and including the Effective Date of this Release.  In other words, Executive will have none of the legal rights against the aforementioned that he would otherwise have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, 29 U.S.C. §§621, et seq., as amended, by his signing this Release.
4.Consideration Period.  The Company hereby notifies Executive of his right to consult with his chosen legal counsel before signing this Release.

The Company shall afford, and Executive acknowledges receiving, not less than twenty-one (21) calendar days in which to consider this Release to ensure that Executive’s execution of this Release is knowing and voluntary.  In signing below, Executive expressly acknowledges that he has been afforded the opportunity to take at least twenty-one (21) days to consider this Release and that his execution of same is with full knowledge of the consequences thereof and is of his own free will.  
Notwithstanding the fact that the Company has allowed Executive twenty-one (21) days to consider this Release, Executive may elect to execute this Release prior to the end of such 21-day period.  If Executive elects to execute this Release prior to the end of such 21-day period, then by his signature below, Executive represents that he has consulted with, and been represented by, his chosen legal counsel, and his decision to accept this shortening of the time was knowing and voluntary, and was not induced by fraud, misrepresentation, or any threat to withdraw or alter the benefits provided by the Company herein, or by the Company providing different terms to any similarly-situated Executive executing this Release prior to end of such 21-day consideration period.  The parties agree changes, whether material or immaterial, to this Release shall not restart the running of the twenty-one (21) day time period.
5.Revocation Period.  Both the Company and Executive agree and recognize that, for a period of seven (7) calendar days following Executive’s execution of this Release, Executive may revoke this Release by providing written notice revoking the same, within this seven (7) day period, delivered by hand or by certified mail, addressed to Anthony LaPlaca, Senior VP, General Counsel & Chief Administrative Officer, Invacare Corporation, One Invacare Way, Elyria, OH 44035, delivered or postmarked within such seven (7) day period.  In the event Executive so revokes this Release, each party will receive only those entitlements and/or benefits that he/it would have received regardless of this Release. 

6.Acknowledgments.  Executive acknowledges that Executive has carefully read and fully understands all of the provisions of this Release, that Executive has not relied on any representations of the Company or any of its representatives, directors, officers, executives and/or agents to induce Executive to enter into this Release, other than as specifically set forth herein and that Executive is fully competent to enter into this Release and has not been pressured, coerced or otherwise unduly influenced to enter into this Release and that Executive has voluntarily entered into this Release of Executive's own free will.  Executive further acknowledges that he has consulted with, and been represented by, competent legal counsel in the negotiation of this Release.  The parties agree that any capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Separation Agreement.
    7

7.Governing Law.  This Release shall be governed under the laws of the State of Ohio.
8.Effective Date.

(d)“Competitive Product” means a product which is similar to or competitive with a product manufactured and/or sold by Employer, or with respect to which Employer has conducted research, during the three (3) years immediately preceding termination of Employee's employment.  A product shall cease to be a Competitive Product if substantially all of the Company subsidiaries, affiliates and/or assets used in the manufacture and/or sale of such product are sold by the Company subsequent to the Effective Date and (i) such product is thereafter no longer manufactured or sold by the Company, and (ii) the Company is no longer receiving any “earn out,” royalty, license, or other payments from or relating to the manufacture or sale of such product.

    9

(a)    Ownership of Intellectual Property: With respect to all Intellectual Property made, created or conceived by Employee, either alone or jointly with others, during or arising out of his or her employment with Employer or, based upon or derived from Confidential Information, all such Intellectual Property shall be the sole property of Employer and Employee agrees:

(I)to promptly disclose in writing any such Intellectual Property to Employer;

(II)to treat such Intellectual Property as the trade secrets and Confidential Information of Employer;

(III)not to disclose such Intellectual Property to anyone; and

(IV)not to use any such Intellectual Property for any other purpose other than in connection with Employee's employment or for Employer's sole benefit.

(b)    Assignment and Protection of Ownership Rights.  Except as listed at the end of this Section 2(b), Employee hereby assigns to Employer all of his or her right, title and interest in and to any such Intellectual Property and to any and all patents or applications (design or otherwise), trademarks or service marks or applications therefor, copyright registrations or applications based thereon or any other Intellectual Property right.

(I)to vest full title in the invention, design, discovery, derivation, improvement or work of authorship in Employer; and

(II)to enable Employer to seek, register, maintain or enforce patent, design, copyright or other intellectual property protection thereon anywhere in the world.

Employee acknowledges and agrees that each work of authorship created by him or her and relating to Employee's employment has been prepared for Employer as a work for hire. Employee agrees that in the event that any such work is not considered a work for hire under U.S. Copyright Law, Employee hereby assigns all copyrights in and to such work of authorship to Employer.

List of Intellectual Property excepted from this Section 2(b):     None     (If none, so indicate).

(c)    Representations Regarding Deliverables. Employee represents and warrants that:

(I)    all work products, deliverables, services, products and all other Intellectual Property delivered to Employer by Employee in connection with Employee's performance of Employee's work for Employer (“Deliverables”) do not infringe any Intellectual Property rights of any third parties and are not based on any Confidential Information of any third parties;

(II)that Employee has all rights necessary to provide such Deliverables to Employer under the terms of this Agreement;

(III)that such Deliverables are the original works of the Employee;

(IV)that such Deliverables do not belong to others; and

    10

(V)that employment with Employer does not violate any restrictive covenants in any agreement previously entered into by Employee.

(d)    Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information. Employee covenants and agrees that:

(I)he or she will not transfer or disclose any Confidential Information;

(II)Confidential Information will be kept confidential by Employee, will not be used in any manner which is detrimental to Employer, will only be used in connection with Employee's employment, and will be safeguarded by Employee from unauthorized disclosure;

(III)he or she will not copy Confidential Information in whole or in part or use all or any part of Confidential Information to, without limitation, reverse engineer, duplicate the function, sequence or organization of Confidential Information for any purpose without the prior written permission of Employer; and

(IV)he or she will not use or disclose the confidential information or trade secrets of any other company or entity, including, without limitation, vendors, customers or former employers, without their written authorization.

(e)    Exclusions from Confidential Information. Employee will not be prevented from using or disclosing Confidential Information:

(I)which Employee can demonstrate, by written records, was known to Employee before the disclosure to Employee by Employer or observation of Confidential Information by Employee; or

(II)which is now, or becomes in the future, public knowledge other than by breach of this Agreement by Employee; or

(III)which is lawfully obtained by Employee from a source independent of Employer, which source was lawfully in possession of the Confidential Information and which source had the unrestricted right to disclose or display the Confidential Information to Employee; or

(IV)which is required by order of a court or regulatory authority having competent jurisdiction to be disclosed, provided that Employee shall inform Employer of the requirement for disclosure, shall permit Employer to attempt, by appropriate legal means, to limit such disclosure and Employee shall use appropriate efforts to limit the disclosure and maintain confidentiality to the extent possible.

(V)which was independently developed by Employee without any use, knowledge or benefit of Confidential Information.

The confidentiality and non-use obligations of Employee with respect to Confidential Information under the terms of this Agreement shall remain in effect after termination of employment and until such Confidential Information is no longer confidential or proprietary to Employer or no longer nonpublic.

(f)Return of Information. Immediately upon Employer's request, Employee will return to Employer all Confidential Information and all memoranda, notes, records, reports, photographs, drawings, plans, papers and all other documents made or compiled by Employee 
    11

or made available to him or her during the course of his or her employment, or copies, reproductions or abstracts thereof, whether or not such documents contain Confidential Information, and/or Employee will destroy, and certify to Employer as to such destruction, all Confidential Information and other materials.

(g)Non-Competition. During the Restrictive Covenant Period,  Employee shall not, anywhere in the world in which Employer conducts business activity, directly or indirectly, on his or her own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, render services or act as an officer, director, partner, agent, consultant or employee of, or otherwise assist any Competitor (excluding ownership of less than five percent (5%) of the stock of a publicly-held corporation whose stock is traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market).

(h)Non-Interference with Customer and Supplier Relationships. Employee covenants and agrees that he or she shall not, during the Restrictive Covenant Period, directly or indirectly, on his or her own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, contact or do business with any customer or supplier of Employer with respect to any Competitive Product. This covenant applies to those customers and suppliers, and their respective affiliates, to which Employer has sold its products or services prior to the date Employee ceases to work for Employer, and those prospective customers and suppliers with which Employer has actively pursued sales or supply opportunities prior to the date Employee ceases to work for Employer.

(i)Post-Employment Non-Recruitment. Employee agrees that Employer has and will invest substantial time and effort in acquiring and maintaining its workforce. Accordingly, Employee agrees that during the Restrictive Covenant Period, Employee shall not: (I) hire away, or cause any other person or entity to hire away, any employee of Employer as of the date Employee ceases to work for Employer or, (II) directly or indirectly, on his or her own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, entice or solicit, or seek to induce or influence any such employee to leave his or her employment.

3.REASONABLE RESTRICTIONS. Employer and Employee expressly agree that the restrictions and covenants contained in this Exhibit B are needed to protect the valuable business interests of Employer and are reasonable as to time and geographic scope because of the nature of Employer's business and the location of its competitors.

4.REMEDIES.  Employee acknowledges that should he or she violate or threaten to violate any of the covenants contained in this Exhibit B, it will be difficult to determine the resulting damages to Employer. In addition to any other remedies Employer may have, Employer will be entitled to temporary or preliminary injunctive relief without being required to post a bond and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damage. Employer may elect to seek any remedy at its sole discretion on a case by case basis.

 TATUM SERVICES AGREEMENT 

This TATUM SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), entered into as of the November 22, 2022, is by and between
RANDSTAD PROFESSIONALS US, LLC d/b/a Tatum, a Delaware limited liability company, with offices at 3625 Cumberland Boulevard, Suite 600, Atlanta, GA 30339 (“Tatum”), and Funko, LLC, with offices at 2802
Wetmore Ave, Everett, WA 98201 (the “Company”). A “Party” shall mean either Tatum or the Company, as the case may be; the “Parties” shall mean Tatum and the Company, collectively. 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to engage Tatum to perform certain outsourced interim services; and, Tatum is willing to provide the services of
its personnel to perform such tasks subject to the terms and conditions hereof. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises
contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Tatum and the Company agree as follows: 

1.    Services. The services (the “Services”) and fees will be more particularly described on the
template Schedule attached hereto and will be provided by the individual professional (the “Tatum Professional”) identified on such Schedule. Schedules for additional Tatum Professionals may be added from time to time upon
the mutual written agreement of the Parties. In addition, upon the request of the Company and the execution of an additional Schedule to this Agreement, Tatum will provide search Services to the Company, all as more particularly described on such
Schedule. 
 2.    Engagement. The Tatum Professional will be engaged by Tatum and Tatum will be solely responsible for
determining the conditions, terms and payment of compensation and benefits for the Tatum Professional. The Company will be solely responsible for: establishing and approving appropriate work locations for the Tatum Professional at the Company’s
site or other remote locations; providing the Tatum Professional day-to-day guidance, supervision, direction, assistance; and providing the Tatum Professional with all
information necessary for the successful and timely completion of the Services. Tatum will have no oversight, control, or authority over the Tatum Professional with respect to the Services or work locations. The Company acknowledges that it is
solely responsible for the sufficiency of the Services for its purposes and any work product required of the Tatum Professional. The Company will designate a management-level individual to be responsible for
overseeing the Services, and the Tatum Professional will report directly to the Company manager with respect to the provision of the Services. Unless the Tatum Professional is acting as an executive officer of the Company and is authorized by the
Company to make such decision, the Company will not permit or require the Tatum Professional to be the ultimate decision making authority for any material decision, government reporting or public filing relating to the Company’s business,
including, without limitation, any proposed merger, acquisition, recapitalization, financial strategy or restructuring. 

3.    Fees and Expenses. The Company will pay Tatum the fees set forth on the applicable Schedule. In addition, the Company
will reimburse Tatum directly for all travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement (including any Schedules). Tatum shall invoice the
Company for, and the Company shall pay to Tatum for further remittance to the appropriate taxing authorities, any sales or use taxes applicable to the Services. If the Company claims that it is exempt from any such sales or use taxes, then the
Company must provide Tatum with an exemption certificate satisfactory to Tatum. 
 4.    Payment Terms. Payments to Tatum
should be made within 10 days of receipt of invoice by electronic transfer in accordance with the instructions set forth below or such alternative instructions as provided by Tatum from time to time. Tatum will bill for Services weekly in arrears.
In the event Company voluntarily files a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition (or becomes subject to an involuntary bankruptcy petition), it shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, seek entry of an Order from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court having
jurisdiction over Company’s bankruptcy case(s), in form and substance acceptable to Tatum, (a) assuming this Agreement, (b) authorizing payment to Tatum as part of any employee wage motion filed by or on behalf of Company, or
(c) naming Tatum as a ‘critical vendor’ and authorizing the payment of Tatum’s pre-petition invoices. Company acknowledges that its failure to timely procure either such Order shall
automatically serve as grounds for Tatum’s immediate rejection/termination of this Agreement. Company acknowledges that Tatum is relying on this provision as an inducement to enter into this Agreement and provide further services to Company
from and after the date hereof. In lieu of terminating this Agreement, Tatum may suspend the provision of any Services if amounts owed are not paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Beneficiary: Tatum

Please reference the Company’s name in the body of the payment. 

5.    Effective Date and Termination. This Agreement will be effective as of the earlier of (i) the date Tatum begins
providing Services to the Company, or (ii) the date of the last signature to this Agreement as indicated on the signature page. In the event that a Party commits a breach of this Agreement (including any Schedule) and fails to cure the same
within 10 days following delivery by the non-breaching Party of written notice specifying the nature of the breach, the non-breaching Party may terminate this Agreement
or the applicable Schedule effective upon written notice of such termination. The termination rights set forth in this Section are in addition to and not in lieu of the termination rights set forth in each of the Schedules. 

6.    Conversion and Professional Placement Fees. 

(a)    Conversion Fee. If, at any time during the time frame in which a Tatum Professional is providing Services to
the Company and for a period of 12-months thereafter, other than in connection with this Agreement or another Tatum agreement, the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates employs such Tatum
Professional, or engages such Tatum Professional as an independent contractor, the Company will pay Tatum a placement fee in an amount equal to 35% of the Annualized Compensation (as defined below). “Annualized Compensation” is
defined as salary, incentive, signing and other bonuses, and any other compensation that may be earned by the Tatum professional during the first 12 months of service with the Company (or its subsidiary or affiliate) regardless of when or if such
compensation is actually paid. 
 The placement fee shall be due upon the commencement of the Tatum Professional’s employment or
engagement with the Company (or its subsidiary or affiliate). 
 (b)    Professional Placement Fee. Separate from
the interim Services provided by the Tatum Professional, if requested by the Company, Tatum can provide direct hire services by developing an applicant flow through its sources and refer qualified candidates for various financial, accounting,
information technology and similar direct hire positions to the Company on an as needed basis (the “Direct Hire Candidate”). 
 In
consideration for Tatum providing Direct Hire Candidates, if the Company hires a Direct Hire Candidate referred by Tatum within one year of such referral, regardless of whether this Agreement has terminated, the Company agrees to pay Tatum a one-time professional service fee in an amount equal to 35% of the candidate’s Annualized Compensation, as defined in 6(a). A candidate is considered referred by Tatum if Tatum submits the candidate’s
resume or curriculum vitae (in paper, electronic, or facsimile format) to the Company, unless the Company can show that it was already in possession of the candidate’s resume or curriculum vitae before the referral by Tatum (“Prior
Referral”). For avoidance of confusion, the Company shall notify Tatum of a Prior Referral with supporting documentation within three (3) business days of the presentment of the Direct Hire Candidate. 

(c)    Guarantee. Tatum provides a Direct Hire Candidate Guarantee on the following terms: (i) the guarantee
is conditioned upon the Company’s timely payment of the fees due to Tatum; (ii) the guarantee applies only if Tatum is notified in writing within 30 days of the Direct Hire Candidate’s start date that the Direct Hire Candidate has
voluntarily resigned or was terminated for cause; and (iii) for a period of six (6) months from the date Tatum is notified of a Direct Hire Candidate’s resignation/termination for cause, Tatum will use commercially reasonable efforts
to find a substantially similar replacement for that Direct Hire Candidate (i.e., similar qualifications, title/position and salary range) without further charge to the Company.

	US-DOCS\137892917.1	  		  	

 

 
  

 The guarantee provided in this Section shall not apply if the Company: (iv) failed
to timely pay the fees due pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement; (v) seeks a replacement which is not substantially similar to the Direct Hire Candidate position filled, as defined in Section 6(c)(iii); or (vi) terminated the
Direct Hire Candidate’s engagement for a reason other than those listed in Section 6(c)(ii). For, example, the guarantee would not apply if the termination was the result of the Company’s reorganization (e.g., change in the executive
reporting structure, corporate organization or executive leadership), position elimination, reduction in force, acquisition/sale, or a material change in the Company’s support needs, including changes in the anticipated job scope or
responsibility of the Direct Hire Candidate. 
 7.    Warranties and Disclaimers. TATUM DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTIES OF QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS OF USE OR PURPOSE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, TATUM MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY
WITH RESPECT TO THE TATUM PROFESSIONAL OR THE SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER, AND TATUM WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ACTION TAKEN BY THE COMPANY IN FOLLOWING OR DECLINING TO FOLLOW ANY OF THE TATUM PROFESSIONAL’S ADVICE OR
RECOMMENDATIONS. THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY TATUM AND THE TATUM PROFESSIONAL HEREUNDER ARE FOR THE SOLE BENEFIT OF THE COMPANY AND NOT ANY UNNAMED THIRD PARTIES. THE SERVICES WILL NOT CONSTITUTE AN AUDIT, REVIEW,
OPINION, OR COMPILATION, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT REPORTING OR ATTESTATION ENGAGEMENT THAT IS SUBJECT TO THE RULES OF THE AICPA OR OTHER SIMILAR STATE OR NATIONAL PROFESSIONAL BODIES OR LAWS AND WILL NOT RESULT IN AN OPINION OR ANY
FORM OF ASSURANCE ON INTERNAL CONTROLS. 
 8.    Limitation of Liability; Indemnity. 

(a)    TATUM’S LIABILITY IN ANY AND ALL CATEGORIES AND FOR ANY AND ALL CAUSES ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER
BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, WILL, IN THE AGGREGATE, NOT EXCEED THE ACTUAL FEES PAID BY THE COMPANY TO TATUM OVER THE PREVIOUS TWO MONTHS OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE TATUM PROFESSIONAL FROM WHOM THE
LIABILITY ARISES. IN NO EVENT WILL TATUM BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, INTERRUPTION OR LOSS OF BUSINESS, PROFIT OR GOODWILL. AS A CONDITION FOR
RECOVERY OF ANY LIABILITY, THE COMPANY MUST ASSERT ANY CLAIM AGAINST TATUM WITHIN THREE MONTHS AFTER DISCOVERY OR 60 DAYS AFTER THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF THE APPLICABLE SCHEDULE UNDER WHICH THE LIABILITY ARISES, WHICHEVER IS EARLIER. 

(b)    THE COMPANY AGREES TO INDEMNIFY TATUM AND THE TATUM PROFESSIONAL TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW FOR ANY
LOSSES, COSTS, DAMAGES, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES), AS THEY ARE INCURRED, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, SUIT, OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THE TATUM PROFESSIONAL’S SERVICES TO THE
COMPANY. 
 9.    Insurance. 

(a)    Tatum. At all times during the term of this Agreement, Tatum shall maintain at its expense and benefit
(a) Workers’ Compensation insurance which provides coverage for all employees of Tatum, including Tatum Professionals, as required by applicable law, and (b) comprehensive general liability insurance with a policy limit of not less
than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $1,000,000 in the aggregate. 
 (b)    Company. If Company is a public company
and requires a Tatum Professional to serve as a Company officer or director, even on an interim basis, then Company shall maintain directors and officers insurance (“D&O Insurance”) covering the Tatum Professional in an amount
reasonably acceptable to the Tatum Professional at no additional cost to Tatum or the Tatum Professional. If the Company is private and requires a Tatum Professional to serve as a Company officer or director, even on an interim basis, it will
provide the Tatum Professional with substantially similar D&O Insurance as is provided to Company’s officers and directors, if any.

	US-DOCS\137892917.1	  		  	

 

 
  

 To the extent D&O Insurance is required by the above terms, Company will maintain such
insurance at all times while this Agreement remains in effect. Furthermore, the Company will maintain such insurance coverage with respect to occurrences arising during the term of this Agreement for at least five years following the termination or
expiration of the applicable Schedule or will purchase a directors’ and officers’ extended reporting period or “tail” policy to cover the Tatum Professional for such five year time period. The Company’s D&O Insurance
must be primary and non-contributory. Upon the execution of this Agreement and at any other time requested by Tatum, the Company will provide Tatum a certificate of insurance evidencing that the Company is in
compliance with the requirements of this Section with a note in the Description of Operations section of the certificate indicating that the coverage is extended to the Tatum Professional. 

10.    Company Circumstances. In the case that the Company acknowledges to Tatum and the Tatum Professionals that, as of the
date of this Agreement, it is — and has been for a considerable period of time one or more of the following: in dire financial condition, suffering extensive losses, operating with negative EBITDA, or experiencing insufficient cash-flow; and as a result, Company has been unable to obtain further credit or investment and may well need to consider reorganization or liquidation in bankruptcy; the Tatum Professionals will endeavor to assist
the Company in finding alternatives to bankruptcy. Tatum and the Tatum Professionals offer no assurances that the Company can otherwise be restructured or that the Company’s distressed condition can be reversed. 

Change in Company Circumstances. During the term of this Agreement, if the Company’s financial condition or liquidity
significantly deteriorates or the Company enters into discussions with restructuring or bankruptcy advisors, Tatum and the Company will review the current fee structure and payment terms under this Agreement (including any Schedule) and agree on
appropriate modifications. For instance, Tatum may switch to an hourly rate if Tatum Professionals are required to work extended hours or a premium may be imposed for hours worked in excess of eight (8) hours. In addition, Tatum and the Company
will discuss the need for additional Tatum professionals with specialized skills in working with companies undergoing significant debt and equity restructuring, and as needed, Tatum professionals with experience helping companies seeking or
operating under bankruptcy protection. The agreed upon additional professionals will be engaged under terms and fees commensurate to the expertise and services to be provided. In the event that Tatum and the Company cannot agree on appropriate
modifications to this Agreement (including any Schedule) or the need for additional Tatum professionals, Tatum may immediately terminate this Agreement or any Schedule upon notice to the Company. 

11.    Sanctions. Company represents that any provision of services by Company and any payment by Company to Tatum shall not
result in any breach of any trade, economic or financial sanctions laws or regulations. 
 12.    Non-Solicitation. Neither Party shall solicit or hire any employee of the other Party directly involved in the performance of this Agreement or that either party became aware of through the performance of this
Agreement during the term of this Agreement and for a period of six (6) months thereafter; provided, however, that this provision shall not restrict in any way either Party’s right to solicit or recruit generally in the media or on the
internet and shall not prohibit either Party, nor any subsidiary, parent or affiliated entity, from hiring an employee of the other Party who answers any advertisement or who otherwise voluntarily applies for hire without having been personally
solicited or recruited. 
 13.    Governing Law and Witness Fees. 

(a)    This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Georgia, without regard to conflicts
of laws provisions. 
 (b)    This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall be construed
and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, the laws of the state of Georgia, without giving effect to provisions thereof regarding
conflict of laws. All claims arising out of or related to this Agreement must be litigated exclusively in the Superior or State Courts of Cobb County, Georgia, provided, however, that any such claim or cause of action may be brought in, or removed
to, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division, to the extent that such court would have jurisdiction over the subject matter of such action. Company and Tatum waive any objection based on personal
jurisdiction and forum and waive any objection to venue of any action instituted hereunder to the extent that an action is brought in the courts identified above. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any such action shall be conclusive and may
be enforced in any other jurisdiction in any manner provided by law.

 (c)    In the event any employee of Tatum (including, without limitation,
any Tatum Professional) is requested or authorized by the Company or is required by government regulation, subpoena, or other legal process to produce documents or appear as witnesses in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding initiated
by a third party against the Company or by the Company against a third party, the Company will, so long as Tatum is not a party to the proceeding in which the information is sought, reimburse Tatum for its professional’s time (based on
customary rates) and expenses, as well as the fees and expenses of its counsel, incurred in responding to such requests. This provision is in addition to and not in lieu of any indemnification obligations the Company may have under this Agreement.

 14.    Miscellaneous. 

(a)    This Agreement together with all Schedules constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with regard to the
subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all agreements, whether oral or written, between the Parties with respect to its subject matter. No amendment or modification to this Agreement will be valid unless in writing and signed by both Parties.

 (b)    If any portion of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be deemed
severable from the remainder of this Agreement and will not cause the invalidity or unenforceability of the remainder of this Agreement, except to the extent that the severed provision deprives either Party of a substantial portion of its bargain.

 (c)    Neither Party will be deemed to have waived any rights or remedies accruing under this Agreement unless such
waiver is in writing and signed by the Party electing to waive the right or remedy. The waiver by any Party of a breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of such
provision or any other provision of this Agreement. 
 (d)    Neither Party will be liable for any delay or failure to
perform under this Agreement (other than with respect to payment obligations) to the extent such delay or failure is a result of an act of God, war, earthquake, civil disobedience, court order, labor dispute, or other cause beyond such Party’s
reasonable control. 
 (e)    The Company may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the
express written consent of Tatum. Tatum shall be entitled (without the consent of the Company) to transfer this Agreement and/or assign its obligations, rights and benefits in this Agreement to any Tatum or Randstad affiliate or to a third party.

 (f)    Nothing in this Agreement will confer any rights upon any person or entity other than the parties hereto and
their respective successors and permitted assigns and the Tatum Professionals. 
 (g)    The expiration or termination
of this Agreement or any Schedule will not destroy or diminish the binding force and effect of any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Schedule that expressly, or by reasonable implication, come into or continue in effect on or after such
expiration or termination, including, without limitation, provisions relating to payment of fees and expenses (including witness fees and expenses), hiring the Tatum Professionals, governing law, venue, limitation of liability and indemnity. 

(h)    The Company agrees to reimburse Tatum for all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, court costs and arbitration fees) incurred by Tatum in enforcing collection of any monies due under this Agreement. 

(i)    The Company agrees to allow Tatum to use the Company’s logo and name on Tatum’s website and other
marketing materials for the sole purpose of identifying the Company as a client of Tatum. Tatum will not use the Company’s logo or name in any press release or general circulation advertisement without the Company’s prior written consent.
