AND CHANGE IN CONTROL LETTER AGREEMENT
Dear David:
This Second Amended and Restated Executive Severance and Change in Control Letter Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of  June 14, 2022 by and between ChannelAdvisor Corporation (“ChannelAdvisor”) and David Spitz (“You”) to set forth certain obligations if Your employment with ChannelAdvisor is terminated under different scenarios. This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Amended and Restated Executive Severance and Change of Control Letter Agreement between You and ChannelAdvisor dated December 17, 2014, as amended December 31, 2018 and November 11, 2019, and is effective as of the date above.
1.Definitions
“Award” shall mean any rights held by You to receive shares of ChannelAdvisor stock under a ChannelAdvisor equity incentive plan, including an Incentive Stock Option, a Nonstatutory Stock Option, a Performance Stock Award, a Restricted Stock Award, a Restricted Stock Unit Award, a Stock Appreciation Right, or any Other Stock Award, each as defined in the applicable ChannelAdvisor equity incentive plan.
“Change in Control” shall have the meaning stated in the ChannelAdvisor Corporation 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time. If required for compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), in no event will a Change in Control be deemed to have occurred if such transaction is not also a “change in the ownership or effective control of’ ChannelAdvisor or “a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of’ ChannelAdvisor as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) (without regard to any alternative definition thereunder). ChannelAdvisor may, in its sole discretion and without Your consent, amend the definition of “Change in Control” to conform to the definition of “Change in Control” under Section 409A of the Code, and the regulations thereunder.
“For Cause” termination shall mean the termination of Your employment for (i) Your conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony involving fraud, moral turpitude or dishonesty; (ii) Your willful participation in a fraud or act of dishonesty against ChannelAdvisor, or Your breach of Your fiduciary duty to ChannelAdvisor, which results in material harm or damage to ChannelAdvisor; (iii) willful violation of a reasonable ChannelAdvisor written policy that causes material harm or damage to ChannelAdvisor that is not cured within thirty days after written notice thereof; (iv) Your intentional damage to ChannelAdvisor’s real and intellectual property which results in harm to ChannelAdvisor; (v) Your death; or (vi) Your physical or mental inability to perform substantially all of Your duties for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days, whether or not consecutive, during any 365-day period.
“Good Reason” termination shall mean the termination of Your employment by Your resignation in the following circumstances: (i) the forced relocation of You to a location that is outside of a thirty (30) mile radius of Morrisville, NC; or (ii) a material reduction in Your total compensation which is not a part of a general reduction or other concessionary arrangement affecting all employees or affecting all senior executive officers on a pro rata, equitable basis. For each event listed in (i) and (ii) above, You shall give ChannelAdvisor notice thereof within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of the event, after which date ChannelAdvisor shall have no less than thirty (30) days to cure the event which would otherwise constitute Good Reason and You must terminate Your employment with the Company for such Good Reason no later than one (1) year after the initial existence of the event giving rise to Good Reason.
“Resignation” shall mean Your resignation of employment from ChannelAdvisor in circumstances other than Good Reason.
“Termination Date” shall mean the date Your employment at ChannelAdvisor ends.

(4)ChannelAdvisor shall extend the exercise period for the Awards until two (2) years from the Termination Date, but in no event will the exercise period extend beyond the original term of the Award.

3.Section 280G
(A)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement to the contrary, if (i) any of the payments or benefits provided or to be provided by ChannelAdvisor to You or for Your benefit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (“Covered Payments”) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provision) or any similar tax imposed by state or local law or any interest or penalties with respect to such taxes (collectively, the “Excise Tax”), and (ii) the net after-tax amount of such Covered Payments, after You have paid all taxes due thereon (including, without limitation, the Excise Tax), is less than the net after-tax amount of all such Covered Payments otherwise due to You in the aggregate, if such Covered Payments were reduced to an amount equal to 2.99 times Your “base amount” as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code, then the aggregate amount of such Covered Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) to an amount that will equal 2.99 times Your base amount; provided, however, that such reduction will be made only if it results in You retaining a greater portion of Covered Payments on an after-tax basis (taking into account the Excise Tax and applicable federal, state, and local income and payroll taxes).
(B)To the extent such Covered Payments are required to be reduced, any such reduction shall be made by in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the following:
(i)the Covered Payments which do not constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be reduced first;
(ii)all other Covered Payments shall then be reduced as follows: (A) cash payments shall be reduced before non-cash payments; and (B) payments to be made on a later payment date shall be reduced before payments to be made on an earlier payment date; and
(iii)in the event that accelerated vesting of Awards is to be reduced, such acceleration will be cancelled in the reverse order of the dates on which the Awards were granted.
(C)You shall provide ChannelAdvisor with such information and documents as ChannelAdvisor may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 3.

			
	

4.Compliance with Section 409A of the Code
It is intended that all of the payments payable under this Agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Section 409A of the Code provided under Treasury Regulation Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4) and 1.409A-1(b)(9), and this Agreement will be construed to the greatest extent possible as consistent with those provisions. If any of the payments are not so exempt, this Agreement (and any definitions hereunder) will be construed in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code, and incorporates by reference all required definitions and payment terms. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), Your right to receive any installment payments under this Agreement (whether severance payments, expense reimbursements or otherwise) will be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment under this Agreement will at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if You are deemed by ChannelAdvisor at the time of Your Separation from Service to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, and if any of the payments, including the severance benefits provided under this Agreement, upon Separation From Service set forth herein and/or under any other agreement with ChannelAdvisor are deemed to be “deferred compensation,” then to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of such payments is required to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and the related adverse taxation under Section 409A of the Code, such payments will not be provided to You prior to the earliest of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of Your Separation From Service with ChannelAdvisor, (ii) the date of Your death or (iii) such earlier date as permitted under Section 409A of the Code without the imposition of adverse taxation. Upon the first business day following the expiration of such applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) period, all payments deferred pursuant to this Paragraph will be paid in a lump sum to You, and any remaining payments due will be paid as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the applicable agreement. No interest will be due on any amounts so deferred.
5.Special Terms and Conditions of Employment
You acknowledge and agree that You remain subject to the ChannelAdvisor Corporation Special Terms and Conditions of Employment between You and ChannelAdvisor dated April 1, 2006, as may be amended from time to time (the “Special Terms”). Notwithstanding anything therein to the contrary, in the event that Your employment terminates under the circumstances set forth in either Section 2(B) or 2(C) hereof, the term of the restrictions set forth in Section 12(f) of the Special Terms will be (a) twelve (12) months following the termination of Your employment, to the extent Your employment terminates pursuant to Section 2(B), or (b) twenty-four (24) months following the termination of Your employment, to the extent Your employment terminates pursuant to Section 2(C).
6.General
ChannelAdvisor shall take any required corporate actions needed as of the Termination Date to ensure the acceleration of the Awards and extension of the exercise period as described in this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to termination of Your employment with ChannelAdvisor except for the Special Terms (as amended hereby) and the Performance-Based Award Agreements. If there is a conflict between the terms of this and any other agreement between You and ChannelAdvisor, this Agreement shall control. Any amendments to this Agreement and any material changes to Attachment 1 hereto must be in writing and executed by both parties. This Agreement may be entered into by each party in separate counterparts and shall constitute one fully executed Agreement upon execution by both You and ChannelAdvisor.  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to conflict of laws principles. If the parties enter into legal proceedings in dispute of any of the terms of this Agreement, the losing party shall pay all reasonable legal fees of the prevailing party. This Agreement is binding upon ChannelAdvisor’s successors (whether by merger, sale of stock, or sale of all or substantially all its assets) and assigns.

13.Breach. Employee agrees that upon any breach of this Severance Agreement by Employee, Employee will forfeit all amounts paid or owing to Employee under this Severance Agreement and ChannelAdvisor will be relieved of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that such forfeiture and relief would result in an invalidation of the release set forth above. Further, Employee acknowledges that it may be impossible to assess the damages caused by Employee’s violation of the terms of Paragraphs 4 to 11 of this Severance Agreement and further agrees that any threatened or actual violation or breach of those paragraphs of this Severance Agreement will constitute immediate and irreparable injury to ChannelAdvisor.

Employee Vested Equity Incentive AwardsDocument

AMENDED AND RESTATED EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AND CHANGE IN CONTROL LETTER AGREEMENT
Dear Rich:
This Amended and Restated Executive Severance and Change in Control Letter Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of June 14, 2022 by and between ChannelAdvisor Corporation (“ChannelAdvisor”) and Richard Cornetta (“You”) to set forth certain obligations if Your employment with ChannelAdvisor is terminated under different scenarios. This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Executive Severance and Change of Control Letter Agreement between You and ChannelAdvisor dated November 5, 2015, as amended December 31, 2018, and is effective as of the date above. 
1.Definitions
“Award” shall mean any rights held by You to receive shares of ChannelAdvisor stock under a ChannelAdvisor equity incentive plan, including an Incentive Stock Option, a Nonstatutory Stock Option, a Performance Stock Award, a Restricted Stock Award, a Restricted Stock Unit Award, a Stock Appreciation Right, or any Other Stock Award, each as defined in the applicable ChannelAdvisor equity incentive plan.
“Change in Control” shall have the meaning stated in the ChannelAdvisor Corporation 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time. If required for compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), in no event will a Change in Control be deemed to have occurred if such transaction is not also a “change in the ownership or effective control of’ ChannelAdvisor or “a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of’ ChannelAdvisor as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) (without regard to any alternative definition thereunder). ChannelAdvisor may, in its sole discretion and without Your consent, amend the definition of “Change in Control” to conform to the definition of “Change in Control” under Section 409A of the Code, and the regulations thereunder.
“For Cause” termination shall mean the termination of Your employment for (i) Your conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony involving fraud, moral turpitude or dishonesty; (ii) Your willful participation in a fraud or act of dishonesty against ChannelAdvisor, or Your breach of Your fiduciary duty to ChannelAdvisor, which results in material harm or damage to ChannelAdvisor; (iii) willful violation of a reasonable ChannelAdvisor written policy that causes material harm or damage to ChannelAdvisor that is not cured within thirty days after written notice thereof; (iv) Your intentional damage to ChannelAdvisor’s real and intellectual property which results in harm to ChannelAdvisor; (v) Your death; or (vi) Your physical or mental inability to perform substantially all of Your duties for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days, whether or not consecutive, during any 365-day period.
“Good Reason” termination shall mean the termination of Your employment by Your resignation in the following circumstances: (i) the forced relocation of You to a location that is outside of a thirty (30) mile radius of Morrisville, NC; or (ii) a material reduction in Your total compensation which is not a part of a general reduction or other concessionary arrangement affecting all employees or affecting all senior executive officers on a pro rata, equitable basis. For each event listed in (i) and (ii) above, You shall give ChannelAdvisor notice thereof within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of the event, after which date ChannelAdvisor shall have no less than thirty (30) days to cure the event which would otherwise constitute Good Reason and You must terminate Your employment with the Company for such Good Reason no later than one (1) year after the initial existence of the event giving rise to Good Reason.
“Resignation” shall mean Your resignation of employment from ChannelAdvisor in circumstances other than Good Reason.
“Termination Date” shall mean the date Your employment at ChannelAdvisor ends.
			
	

2.Compensation and Benefits Upon Termination
(A)By ChannelAdvisor For Cause or by You Upon Resignation
If ChannelAdvisor terminates Your employment For Cause or You submit Your Resignation, You shall not be entitled to any of the severance benefits in Sections 2(B) or 2(C) below. However, on the next regularly scheduled payroll date after the Termination Date, ChannelAdvisor shall pay You (i) all earned and unpaid salary and variable compensation, if any, payable pursuant to the applicable variable compensation plan, through the Termination Date; (ii) all accrued and unused vacation time in accordance with ChannelAdvisor policies; and (iii) all of Your outstanding business expenses incurred through the Termination Date pursuant to ChannelAdvisor policies, provided that You submit invoices in accordance with ChannelAdvisor policies (collectively, the “Employment Termination Payments”).
(B)By ChannelAdvisor other than for Cause or by You for Good Reason
If ChannelAdvisor terminates Your employment, other than For Cause, or You terminate Your employment for Good Reason, and provided that such termination of employment constitutes a “separation from service” (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)) (a “Separation From Service”), You will receive the Employment Termination Payments, and, subject to Your execution and nonrevocation within the permitted revocation period of a waiver and release in substantial conformity with the form attached hereto as Attachment 1 (“Severance Agreement”):
(1)ChannelAdvisor shall pay to You a payment equal to twelve (12) months of Your base compensation (“Base Compensation”).
In addition, ChannelAdvisor shall pay to You either:
(a)if Your compensation includes a quarterly variable incentive component and the Termination Date is not the last day of the calendar quarter, then one calendar quarter of Your then current quarterly variable incentive compensation calculated at 100% achievement; OR
(b)if Your compensation includes an annual variable incentive compensation component and the Termination Date is not the last day of the calendar year, a prorated share (for the period from the beginning of the calendar year to the Termination Date) of Your then current annual variable compensation calculated at 100% achievement.
Payment of the amounts in this Section 2(B)(l) shall be made in a one-time lump sum payment on the next available regularly scheduled payroll date within sixty (60) days following the Termination Date.
(2)If You timely and properly elect COBRA continuation coverage under ChannelAdvisor’s group health plan for medical or dental coverage, ChannelAdvisor shall pay the monthly premium for the coverage directly to the insurance provider for a period of up to 12 months following the Termination Date. If You receive subsequent employment that includes one or both of these benefits, then upon the first date You are eligible to receive the benefits, You shall promptly notify ChannelAdvisor in writing. Upon receipt of Your notice, ChannelAdvisor shall cease payment for any benefits that are provided by Your new employer. If You delay in notifying ChannelAdvisor of a change in benefits status, You shall promptly return all overpayments.
(3)ChannelAdvisor shall accelerate vesting of all of the time-vesting Awards that are unvested as of the Termination Date by one quarter of a year (3 months), and any outstanding performance-vesting Awards (including, for the avoidance of 

			
	

doubt, any performance stock units (“PSUs”) that have been earned based on performance, but which remain subject to time-based vesting) will be entitled to accelerated vesting as of the Termination Date, as set forth in the applicable award agreements (the “Performance-Based Award Agreements”).
(4)ChannelAdvisor shall extend the exercise period for the Awards until two (2) years from the Termination Date, but in no event will the exercise period extend beyond the original term of the Award.
(C)Termination in Connection with Change in Control Event
If there is a Change in Control, and if, within the period during the two (2) months before or the twenty-four (24) months after the Change in Control, ChannelAdvisor (or the acquiring entity) (i) terminates Your employment, other than For Cause, or (ii) You terminate Your employment for Good Reason, in each case provided that the termination of employment constitutes a Separation From Service, You will receive the Employment Termination Payments, and, subject to Your execution and nonrevocation within the permitted revocation period of the Severance Agreement, on the next available regularly scheduled payroll date within sixty (60) days following the Termination Date, ChannelAdvisor shall provide You (1) the benefits in Sections 2(B)(l), (2) and (4) above, (2) full acceleration of vesting of all Your time-vesting Awards that are unvested as of the Termination Date, with the effect that all such Awards shall be fully vested and exercisable as of the Termination Date, and (3) Your outstanding performance-vesting Awards (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any PSUs that have been earned based on performance, but which remain subject to time-based vesting) will be entitled to accelerated vesting as of the Termination Date, as set forth in the applicable Performance-Based Award Agreements.
3.Section 280G
(A)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement to the contrary, if (i) any of the payments or benefits provided or to be provided by ChannelAdvisor to You or for Your benefit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (“Covered Payments”) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provision) or any similar tax imposed by state or local law or any interest or penalties with respect to such taxes (collectively, the “Excise Tax”), and (ii) the net after-tax amount of such Covered Payments, after You have paid all taxes due thereon (including, without limitation, the Excise Tax), is less than the net after-tax amount of all such Covered Payments otherwise due to You in the aggregate, if such Covered Payments were reduced to an amount equal to 2.99 times Your “base amount” as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code, then the aggregate amount of such Covered Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) to an amount that will equal 2.99 times Your base amount; provided, however, that such reduction will be made only if it results in You retaining a greater portion of Covered Payments on an after-tax basis (taking into account the Excise Tax and applicable federal, state, and local income and payroll taxes).
(B)To the extent such Covered Payments are required to be reduced, any such reduction shall be made by in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the following:
(1)the Covered Payments which do not constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be reduced first;
(2)all other Covered Payments shall then be reduced as follows: (A) cash payments shall be reduced before non-cash payments; and (B) payments to be made on a later payment date shall be reduced before payments to be made on an earlier payment date; and
(3)in the event that accelerated vesting of Awards is to be reduced, such acceleration will be cancelled in the reverse order of the dates on which the Awards were granted.

			
	

(C)You shall provide ChannelAdvisor with such information and documents as ChannelAdvisor may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 3.
4.Compliance with Section 409A of the Code
It is intended that all of the payments payable under this Agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Section 409A of the Code provided under Treasury Regulation Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4) and 1.409A-1(b)(9), and this Agreement will be construed to the greatest extent possible as consistent with those provisions. If any of the payments are not so exempt, this Agreement (and any definitions hereunder) will be construed in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code, and incorporates by reference all required definitions and payment terms. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), Your right to receive any installment payments under this Agreement (whether severance payments, expense reimbursements or otherwise) will be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment under this Agreement will at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if You are deemed by ChannelAdvisor at the time of Your Separation from Service to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, and if any of the payments, including the severance benefits provided under this Agreement, upon Separation From Service set forth herein and/or under any other agreement with ChannelAdvisor are deemed to be “deferred compensation,” then to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of such payments is required to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and the related adverse taxation under Section 409A of the Code, such payments will not be provided to You prior to the earliest of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of Your Separation From Service with ChannelAdvisor, (ii) the date of Your death or (iii) such earlier date as permitted under Section 409A of the Code without the imposition of adverse taxation. Upon the first business day following the expiration of such applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) period, all payments deferred pursuant to this Paragraph will be paid in a lump sum to You, and any remaining payments due will be paid as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the applicable agreement. No interest will be due on any amounts so deferred.
5.Special Terms and Conditions of Employment
You acknowledge and agree that You remain subject to the ChannelAdvisor Corporation Special Terms and Conditions of Employment between You and ChannelAdvisor dated September 23, 2013, as may be amended from time to time (the “Special Terms”). Notwithstanding anything therein to the contrary, in the event that Your employment terminates under the circumstances set forth in either Section 2(B) or 2(C) hereof, the term of the restrictions set forth in Section 12(f) of the Special Terms will be twelve (12) months following the termination of Your employment.

			
	

6.General
ChannelAdvisor shall take any required corporate actions needed as of the Termination Date to ensure the acceleration of the Awards and extension of the exercise period as described in this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to termination of Your employment with ChannelAdvisor except for the Special Terms (as amended hereby) and the Performance-Based Award Agreements. If there is a conflict between the terms of this and any other agreement between You and ChannelAdvisor, this Agreement shall control. Any amendments to this Agreement and any material changes to Attachment 1 hereto must be in writing and executed by both parties. This Agreement may be entered into by each party in separate counterparts and shall constitute one fully executed Agreement upon execution by both You and ChannelAdvisor. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to conflict of laws principles. If the parties enter into legal proceedings in dispute of any of the terms of this Agreement, the losing party shall pay all reasonable legal fees of the prevailing party. This Agreement is binding upon ChannelAdvisor’s successors (whether by merger, sale of stock, or sale of all or substantially all its assets) and assigns.
