10.Non-Disparagement 
You agree not to disparage the Company, its officers and owners, or its clients and business partners in any way during or after your employment with the Company. This non-disparagement obligation prohibits you from making any statement that would or is reasonably likely to defame, criticize, malign, or in any way be materially and financially harmful to the business reputation of the foregoing entities or individuals. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prohibit you from testifying or responding in good faith to any subpoena or other legal process, provided that you provide reasonable advance notice to the Company of your receipt of such subpoena or other legal process. 
11.Reasonableness of Promises; Injunctive Relief 
You acknowledge and agree that the promises set forth in Sections 5, 6, 7, and 8of this letter are reasonable and narrowly tailored to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests, including the Company’s interests in protecting the competitive advantage it derives from its Confidential Information and customer good will. Accordingly, in the event you breach or threaten to breach one or more of the promises in Sections 5,6, 7, or 8 of this Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction enjoining such actual or threatened breach, in addition to any other remedy available at law or equity. You further acknowledge that the promises in Sections 5, 6, 7, and 8of this letter shall survive termination of your employment relationship. You further agree that in the event of a legal action to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement by the non-prevailing party for its costs associated with such legal action, including the prevailing party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees.
12.Inventions 
You agree that any and all improvements, inventions, discoveries, developments, creations, processes, methods, designs, and works of authorship, and any documents, things, or information relating thereto, whether patentable or not, within the scope of or pertinent to your primary job duties (as described in Section 1 above) or your other performance of work for the Company, which you may conceive, make, author, create, invent, develop, or reduce to practice, or which you previously have conceived, made, authored, created, invented, developed, or reduced to practice, in whole or in part, during your employment with the Company, whether alone or with others, whether during or outside of normal working hours, whether inside or outside of the Company’s offices, and whether with or without the use of the Company’s computers, systems, materials, equipment, or other property, will be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company (the foregoing, individually and collectively, “Work Product”). To the maximum extent allowable by law, any Work Product subject to copyright protection will be considered “works made for hire” for the Company under U.S. copyright law. To the extent that any Work Product that is subject to copyright protection is not considered a work made for hire, or to the extent that you otherwise have or retain any ownership or other rights in any Work Product (or any intellectual property rights therein), you hereby assign and transfer to the Company all such rights in the Work Product, including but not limited to the intellectual property rights therein, effective automatically as and when such Work Product is conceived, made, authored, created, invented, developed, or reduced to practice. The Company will have the full right to use, assign, license, and/or transfer all rights in, with, to, or relating to Work Product (and all intellectual property rights therein). You will, whenever requested to do so by the Company (whether during your employment or thereafter), at the Company’s expense, execute any and all applications, assignments, and/or other instruments, and do all other things (including giving testimony in any legal proceeding) which the Company may deem necessary or appropriate in order to (a) apply for, obtain, maintain, enforce, or defend patent, trademark, copyright, or similar registrations of the United States or any other country for any Work Product, (b) assign, transfer, convey, or otherwise make available to the Company any right, title, or interest which you might otherwise have in any Work Product, and/or (c) confirm the Company’s right, title, and interest in any Work 

Product. You will promptly communicate, disclose, and, upon request, report upon and deliver all Work Product to the Company, and will not use or permit any Work Product to be used for any purpose other than on behalf of the Company, whether during your employment or thereafter. 
13.Business Related Expense Reimbursements 
You may occasionally incur business related expenses in the course of your job duties. Your permitted business expenses include: (a) your travel expenses related to the performance of your job duties; and (b) reasonable expenses related to the entertainment of clients or other potential business partners of the Company. However, you understand that all business expenses are subject to review, and the Company reserves the right to deny a business expense reimbursement request in the event it reasonably determines that the expense was not related to your job duties. The Company will reimburse you for an appropriate business-related expense, provided you submit proof of payment and details concerning the expense in a timely manner, and in no event later than sixty (60) days after the expense was incurred. Violation of this policy may result in the denial of an expense reimbursement request. In the event you intentionally submit a false expense reimbursement request, you shall be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including immediate termination of employment for “Cause.” Duly submitted reimbursement requests are typically processed within thirty (30) days of submission. 
14.No Conflicts 
By signing below, you represent to the Company that you are not presently subject to any obligation that would otherwise prohibit you from performing the above-referenced job duties for the Company, such as a non-competition promise or other restrictive covenant. You further represent to the Company that you DocuSign Envelope ID: B96FBD95-B0A6-4577-9DAD-3E17D93E40F9 are not in possession of any confidential or proprietary information belonging to any entity or person that directly or indirectly competes with the Company.
15.Dispute Resolution 
Should any dispute arise between you and the Company or any Company affiliate regarding any aspect of your employment relationship, you and the Company or the Company affiliate will confer in good faith to promptly resolve such dispute. In the event that you and the Company or the Company affiliate are unable to resolve the dispute, and should either party to the dispute desire to pursue a claim against the other party, both you and the Company or the Company affiliate agree to have the dispute resolved by final and binding Arbitration held in New York County, New York. The Arbitration shall be conducted by JAMS or the American Arbitration Association and provided by an impartial third-party Arbitration provider in accordance with the employment dispute rules then in effect. All previously unasserted claims arising under federal, state, or local statutory or common law and all disputes relating to the validity of this contract, as well as this Arbitration provision, shall be decided by binding and final arbitration. Any award of the Arbitrator(s), is final and binding, and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement of his/its related costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, from the non-prevailing party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this letter shall prohibit either party from applying to a court of competent jurisdiction (instead of an arbitrator) for injunctive relief to enjoin an actual or threatened breach of each other’s obligations set forth in this letter. 
16.Severability 
You acknowledge and agree that in the event any court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction determines that one or more of the provisions of this letter is unenforceable, such court or arbitrator shall be entitled to equitably reform such unenforceable provision so that the provision is given its maximum affect permitted under applicable law. Each provision of this letter is severable from other provisions hereof, and if one or more provisions are declared invalid, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. 
17.Prior Agreements 
You acknowledge and agree that this document replaces and supersedes any previous offer of employment to you by the Company (whether oral or in writing), and sets forth the parties’ entire understanding regarding the subject matter described herein. By signing below, you are not relying upon any representation or promise that is not explicitly set forth within this letter. 

18.Governing Law 
You agree that this letter and your employment with the Company shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. Any legal proceeding arising from dispute related to your employment with the Company must be commenced within New York County, New York. 
19.Miscellaneous 
You acknowledge that this letter is the product of arms-length negotiations between you and the Company and, therefore, neither you nor the Company will be considered the drafter of this letter. This letter may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original. Original signatures shall not be required.
