 Page 2 

 
fringe benefits, in whole or in part, at any time with or without notice. If the Company’s aggregate contribution to 401(k) or other retirement plans on
behalf of Executive is less than that received by Executive prior to the Spin Off and the effective date of this Agreement, Executive’s annual base salary shall be increased to make up the difference. 
 4. Termination of Employment. 
 During the Employment Period, Executive’s employment is subject to the provisions of this Agreement and may be terminated by the Company or Executive at any time under the terms of this Agreement. 
  

	 	(a)	February 2008 Termination Election. 

  

	 	(i)	At any time during February 2008, either the Company or Executive may give notice to the other party that the employment relationship will be terminated effective November 30,
2008 (“February 2008 Termination Election”). In the event of such notice, the Executive will receive termination payments set forth in Section 5 (“Termination Payments A”), subject to the terms of this Agreement, and the
execution of an Agreement and Release to the Company in the form attached as Exhibit A (“Agreement and Release”). 

  

	 	(ii)	Executive’s entitlement to Termination Payments A will vest upon the February 2008 Termination Election subject to Executive not having been terminated for Cause, Death,
Disability, in connection with a Change in Control as defined in the applicable Western Union severance policy, or pursuant to Section 4(c) between the February 2008 Termination Election and November 30, 2008 and subject to the
Executive’s execution of an Agreement and Release on or within 21 days of November 30, 2008. 

  

	 	(iii)	Waiver of Severance. To receive the Termination Payments A, Executive will be required to waive all rights to any severance otherwise payable under any applicable Western
Union severance policy, if any. Failure of either party to make the February 2008 Termination Election terminates any right to Termination Payments A. Except as provided in this Agreement, at all subsequent times during the Employment Period and
thereafter if applicable, Executive will be subject to the terms of the applicable Western Union severance policy, if any, and its terms will supersede the severance provisions of this Agreement. 

  

	 	(b)	Resignation for Good Reason or No Cause Termination. 

 Good Reason Resignation. 
  

	 	(i)	Executive may notify the Company no later than the end of February 2008 of his election to terminate his employment for “Good Reason”. 

  

 Page 3 

 Good Reason means any one or more of the following: (A) action by the Company resulting in a
diminution of the Executive’s titles or positions with the Company; (B) a reduction in the Executive’s Base Salary or Target Bonus; or (C) any action by the Company to require the relocation of the Executive more than thirty-five
(35) miles from the Executive’s current principal work location without the Executive’s consent. Within 30 days after Executive becomes aware of one or more actions or inactions described in the preceding sentence, Executive shall
deliver written notice to the Company of the action(s) or inaction(s) (the “Good Reason Notice”). The Company shall have 30 days after the Good Reason Notice is delivered to cure the particular action(s) or inaction(s). If the Company so
effects a cure, the Good Reason Notice will be deemed rescinded and of no further force and effect. 
 In the event Executive serves the
Company with a Good Reason Notice no later than the end of February 2008 and the Company does not effect a cure, the Executive will receive termination payments as set forth in Section 6 (“Termination Payments B”), subject to
Executive not having terminated for Cause as defined in (c) below, Death, Disability, or in connection with a Change in Control as defined in the applicable Western Union severance policy before the Good Reason Termination Date and the
execution of the Agreement and Release by Executive on or within 21 days of the Good Reason Termination Date. The “Good Reason Termination Date” will be the last day of the 30 day period. 
 No Cause Termination. 
  

	 	(ii)	In the event the Company involuntarily terminates Executive on or before February 29, 2008, other than for Cause as defined in (c) below, and other than on account of
Death, Disability or in connection with a Change in Control as defined in the applicable Western Union severance policy, Executive will receive Termination Payments B subject to the terms of this Agreement and the execution of an Agreement and
Release by Executive. The Company agrees to give Executive written notice of his No Cause Termination (“No Cause Termination Notice”). Executive’s termination date shall be the last day of the two-week period beginning on the day of
Executive’s receipt of written notice as provided in Section 8 (“No Cause Termination Date”). If no written notice is provided, Executive’s effective termination date is two weeks from when no cause termination is orally
given. 

  

	 	(iii)	 Waiver of Severance. To receive the Termination Payments B, Executive will be required to waive all rights to any severance otherwise payable under any
applicable Western Union severance policy, if any. Failure of Executive to give a Good Reason Notice 

  

 Page 4 

	 	 
or receive a No Cause Termination Notice by the end of February 2008 terminates any right to Termination Payments B. Except as provided in this Agreement, at
all subsequent times during the Employment Period and thereafter if applicable, Executive will be subject to the terms of the applicable Western Union severance policy, if any, and its terms will supersede the severance provisions of this Agreement.

  

	 	(iv)	Termination for Cause or Resignation Without Good Cause. If Company terminates Executive for Cause or Executive resigns without Good Reason, Executive shall not be entitled
to receive any Termination Payments provided for in this Agreement or any other payments or benefits of any kind from the Company (except as required by applicable law or in accordance with the terms of the employee benefit plans and programs of the
Company). 

  

	 	(c)    (i)  	Cause. “Cause” shall be defined as the willful and continued failure of Executive to substantially perform the duties assigned by the Company (other than a failure
resulting from Disability), the willful engagement by Executive in conduct that is demonstrably injurious to Western Union (monetarily or otherwise), any act of dishonesty, the commission of a felony, the continued failure by Executive to meet
performance standards, excessive absenteeism, or a significant violation by Executive of any statutory or common law duty of loyalty to the Company. 

  

	 	(ii)	Cause Only Upon A February 2008 Termination Election. 

 For purposes of determining Cause once either party has exercised the February 2008 Termination Election, “Cause” shall be defined as the willful and continued failure of Executive to substantially perform the duties assigned by
the Company (other than a failure resulting from Disability), the willful engagement by Executive in conduct that is demonstrably injurious to Western Union (monetarily or otherwise), any act of dishonesty, the commission of a felony, the continued
failure by Executive to meet performance standards related solely to Executive’s transition of his job responsibilities, in anticipation of his November 30, 2008 termination date, excessive absenteeism, or a significant violation by
Executive of any statutory or common law duty of loyalty to the Company. 
 Only in the event of a February 2008 Termination Election and
only if the Company terminates Executive, for the continued failure by Executive to meet performance standards related solely to Executive’s transition of his job responsibilities in anticipation of his November 30, 2008 termination date
(“Performance Deficiency”) does the Company agree to give Executive written notice to the Executive (“Performance Cause Notice”). The 

  

 Page 5 

 
Performance Cause Notice shall state in writing the particular action(s) or inaction(s) related to Executive’s Performance Deficiency giving rise to the
Performance Cause Termination, citing examples and setting forth definable, reasonable, and measurable job transition goals and responsibilities. The Executive shall have 30 days from the Performance Cause Notice to cure the particular action(s) or
inaction(s) giving rise to the Performance Cause Notice. If the Company in its sole discretion determines that the definable, reasonable, and measurable job transition goals and responsibilities set forth in the written Performance Cause Notice have
been satisfactorily met by the Executive, the Performance Cause Notice shall be deemed rescinded and of no force and effect. 
 (d) Death. Upon the death of Executive, all rights of Executive and Executive’s heirs, executors and administrators to compensation and other benefits under this Agreement and any Company or the Company policy, plan or program
shall cease immediately, except that Executive’s heirs, executors or administrators, as the case may be, shall be entitled to: 
  

	 	(i)	accrued base salary and vacation pay, less required and authorized withholding and deductions, through and including Executive’s date of death; 

  

	 	(ii)	other employee benefits to which Executive or Executive’s beneficiaries are entitled on the date of death in accordance with the terms of the employee benefit plans and
programs of the Company; and 

  

	 	(iii)	if either party gives notice under either Sections 4(b) or (c) and Executive dies after becoming eligible for Termination Payments A or B, as applicable, and executing an
Agreement and Release but before full payment of all cash Termination Payments, the remaining cash Termination Payments will be paid to the Executive’s estate or representative in one lump sum. If either party gives notice under either Sections
4(b) or (c) during the Employment Period and Executive dies before executing an Agreement and Release, his estate or representative may not execute an Agreement and Release, and no Termination Payments will be available to Executive.

 (e) Disability. The Company may, at its option, terminate Executive’s employment during the
Employment Period upon written notice to Executive if Executive becomes disabled. “Disability” means the inability of the Executive to substantially perform such Executive’s duties and responsibilities due to a physical or mental
condition (i) that would entitle such executive to benefits under the Company’s long-term disability plan or, if the Western Union Compensation Committee deems it relevant, any disability rights provided as a matter of local law or
(ii) if such Executive is not eligible for long-term disability benefits under any plan sponsored by the Company, 

  

 Page 6 

 
that would, as determined by the Western Union Compensation Committee, entitle such Executive to benefits under the Company’s long-term disability plan
if the Executive were eligible therefore. Upon such termination, all obligations of the Company hereunder shall cease immediately, except that Executive shall be entitled to: 
  

	 	(i)	accrued base salary and vacation pay, less required and authorized withholding and deductions, through and including the effective date of Executive’s termination of
employment; and 

  

	 	(ii)	other employee benefits to which Executive is entitled upon termination of employment in accordance with the terms of the employee benefit plans and programs of the Company.

 (f) Cooperation & Indemnification. In the event of Executive’s termination of
employment, Executive agrees to reasonably assist and cooperate with the Company, its subsidiaries and Affiliates and/or their agents, officers, directors and employees (i) on matters relating to the tasks for which Executive was responsible,
or about which Executive had knowledge before termination of employment or which may otherwise be within the knowledge of Executive and (ii) in connection with any existing or future disputes, litigation or investigations of any nature brought
by, against, or otherwise involving the Company in which the Company deems Executive’s cooperation necessary. The Company will reimburse Executive for reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection therewith, in accordance with
Company policy. Executive shall be eligible for such indemnification as is provided for by the bylaws of the Company. 
 5. Termination
Payments A. 
 (a) The Termination Payments will be an amount equal to two times the sum of Executive’s annual base
salary and annual Target Bonus (Annual Target Bonus will be calculated at 70% of the then current base salary) plus a prorated amount of Executive’s annual Target Bonus (Annual Target Bonus will be calculated at 70% of the then current base
salary) payable to the Executive for 2008. Such prorated amount shall be equal to the product of (1) the Executive’s Target (Annual Target Bonus will be calculated at 70% of the then current base salary) for 2008 and (2) the ratio of
the number of days elapsed during such year prior to November 30, 2008 to 365. 
 (b) The Termination period will be the
24 consecutive month period commencing on November 30, 2008 (“24 Month Termination Period”). But for Executive’s status as a “specified employee” under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code §
409A”), the Termination Payments would be paid in equal semi-monthly installments over the 24 Month Termination Period on the 15th and the last business day of each month, and would be paid no earlier than the eighth day following the date on
which the Company has received Executive’s fully executed Agreement and Release. Because Executive is subject to Code § 409A, no payments shall be made to Executive during the first six months of the 24 Month Termination Period, and as
soon as administratively practicable thereafter Executive shall receive a lump sum payment, less tax withholding and other legally allowed deductions, representing accumulated installment payments Executive would have received under this Agreement
during such six month period but for his status as a “specified employee” under Code § 409A. 
  

 Page 7 

 (c) Executive’s unvested non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards
awarded in the Spin Off Grant and any other non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards granted between the Spin Off date through February 29, 2008 will become quick vested effective on March 1, 2008, and Executive’s
non-qualified stock options (and stock appreciation rights, if any) will be exercisable until February 28, 2009, subject to the provisions of Code §409A or until the terms of such awards have expired, if earlier. 
 (d) The Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum in an amount equal to the approximate difference in cost between COBRA premiums and
active employee premiums for 18 months of COBRA coverage, less tax withholding and other legally allowed deductions, on the same date that the lump sum payment referenced in Section 6(b) is made, provided that Executive has made a timely
election for COBRA coverage. 
 6. Termination Payments B. 
 (a) The Termination Payments will be an amount equal to two times the sum of Executive’s annual base salary and annual Target Bonus
(Annual Target Bonus will be calculated at 70% of the then current base salary) plus a prorated amount of Executive’s annual Target Bonus (Annual Target Bonus will be calculated at 70% of the then current base salary) payable to the Executive
for the year in which the Good Reason or No Cause Termination Date occurs. Such prorated amount shall be equal to the product of (1) the Executive’s Target Bonus (Annual Target Bonus will be calculated at 70% of the then current base
salary) for the year in which the Good Reason or No Cause Termination Date occurs and (2) the ratio of the number of days elapsed during such year prior to the Good Reason or No Cause Termination Date to 365. 
 (b) The Termination period will be the 24 consecutive month period commencing on Executive’s Good Reason or No Cause Termination Date
(“Good Reason or No Cause Termination Period”). But for Executive’s status as a “specified employee” under Code § 409A, the Termination Payments would be paid in equal semi-monthly installments over the 24 Month
Termination Period on the 15th and the last business day of each month, and would be paid no earlier than the eighth day following the date on which the Company has received Executive’s fully executed Agreement and Release. Because Executive is
subject to Code § 409A, no payments shall be made to Executive during the first six months of the 24 Month Termination Period, and as soon as administratively practicable thereafter Executive shall receive a lump sum payment, less tax
withholding and other legally allowed deductions, representing accumulated installment payments Executive would have received under this Agreement during such six month period but for his status as a “specified employee” under Code
§ 409A. 
 (c) Executive’s unvested non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards awarded in the Spin
Off Grant and any other non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards granted between the Spin Off date and the applicable Good Reason or No Cause Termination Date will become vested effective as of the Good Reason or No Cause Termination
Date and will be exercisable for three months following the Good Reason or No Cause Termination Date subject to the provisions of Code §409A or until the terms of such awards have expired, if earlier.

 (d) The Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum in an amount equal to the
approximate difference in cost between COBRA premiums and active employee premiums for 18 months of COBRA coverage, less tax withholding and other legally allowed deductions, on the same date that the lump sum payment referenced in Section 6(b)
is made, provided that Executive has made a timely election for COBRA coverage. 
 (e) The parties agree that in the event
that a Good Reason Termination and No Cause Termination occur concurrently, Executive is eligible to receive only one Termination Payments B.

 EXHIBIT A 
 THE WESTERN UNION COMPANY 
 AGREEMENT AND RELEASE 
 This is an Agreement and Release (“Agreement”) between Scott T. Scheirman (“Executive”) and Western Union LLC (“WULLC”), a
subsidiary of The Western Union Company (collectively, the “Company”) whereby Executive’s employment will be terminated effective ______________________________ (“Termination Date”). 
 1. Payments and Benefits. In consideration for Executive’s execution of this Agreement, but subject to the paragraph in this Agreement
entitled “Review Period and Revocation” and the terms of paragraph 11, the Company agrees to provide to Executive the following payments and benefits, consistent with and subject to the terms of the Employment Agreement effective
September 29, 2006. Provision of the severance payments and benefits specified in subparagraphs (a) and (b) hereof is intended to comply with the terms of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”), to the extent applicable, based upon the assumption that Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code § 409A. 
  

	 	(a)	Executive will receive installment payments of $_________, less tax withholding and other legally allowed deductions, on the 15th and last business day of each month for the period commencing on ___________ and ending ______________, up to a total amount of $______________. On
____________________, Executive shall also receive a lump sum payment in the amount of $______________, less tax withholding and other legally allowed deductions, representing accumulated installment payments Executive would have received under the
Termination Payments during the first six months after the Termination Date but for his status as a “specified employee” under Code Section 409A. The period from the Termination Date through ______________ is defined as the
Termination Period. 

  

	 	(b)	On _______________________, Executive shall also receive a lump sum payment in the amount of $______________, less tax withholding and other legally allowed deductions, which
represents the approximate difference in cost between COBRA premiums and active employee premiums for 18 months of COBRA coverage, provided that Executive has made a timely election for COBRA coverage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive’s
continued health benefits coverage under this subsection shall cease as of the date the Executive becomes eligible to receive such benefits under a subsequent employer’s benefit programs. From and after the beginning of the Termination Period,
Executive will not be eligible to continue active participation in any other Company benefit plan, program or perquisite, including but not limited to long-term incentive compensation, nonqualified deferred compensation, employee stock purchase,
401(k), 

  

 Exhibit A - Page 1 

	 	 
pension, life insurance, long-term disability coverage, or any other plan or policy. Details about specific plan coverages, conversion and distribution
eligibility will be provided separately. Information on electing COBRA coverage will be provided at the conclusion of group health plan eligibility. 

  

	 	(c)	Termination Payments A. Executive’s unvested non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards awarded in the Spin Off Grant and any other non-qualified stock
options and restricted stock awards granted from the Spin-Off date through February 29, 2008 will become quick vested effective on March 1, 2008, and Executive’s non-qualified stock options will be exercisable for three months until
February 28, 2009 subject to the provisions of Code §409A, the terms and conditions of the Plans or until the term of such awards have expired, if earlier. 

  

	 	(c)	Termination Payments B. Executive’s unvested non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards awarded in the Spin Off Grant and any other non-qualified stock
options and restricted stock awards granted from the Spin Off date through the Good Reason or No Cause Termination Date will become quick vested effective on the Good Reason or No Cause Termination Date, and that Executive’s non-qualified stock
options will be exercisable for three months following the Good Reason or No Cause Termination Date subject to the provisions of Code §409A, the terms and conditions of the Plans or until the term of such awards have expired, if earlier.

  

	 	(d)	To the extent permitted under applicable law, Executive agrees that the Company may deduct from the payments referenced in this Payments and Benefits paragraph any outstanding debt
Executive owes the Company and its subsidiaries or Affiliates including, but not limited to, the value of unreturned property, any overpayment made to Executive, or any other amount Executive owed to the Company, its subsidiaries or Affiliates.

 2. Complete Release. In consideration of those payments and benefits listed above which are payable only under this
Agreement, Executive agrees to and hereby does knowingly and voluntarily release and discharge the Company, its subsidiaries and Affiliates, their agents, executives, directors, officers, employees and their predecessors and successors and the
subsidiaries, Affiliates, agents, executives, directors, officers and employees of such predecessors and successors (the “Released Parties”), from any and all claims, causes of action and demands of any kind, whether known or unknown,
which Executive has, ever has had, or ever in the future may have and which are based on acts or omissions occurring up to and including the date of this Agreement. Included in the release set forth in the preceding sentence, without limiting its
scope, are claims arising under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, each as amended, as well as any other federal, state or local
employment discrimination or labor laws, and/or contract, tort, or wage and hour laws, and which are related 

  

 Exhibit A - Page 2 

 
to Executive’s employment with the Company or the termination of that employment. The foregoing release shall not apply to (i) Executive’s
right to indemnification under the Company’s bylaws or otherwise, (ii) rights to directors and officers liability insurance (to the extent eligible), (iii) obligations of the Company created by this Agreement, or (iv) claims,
causes of action or demands of any kind that may arise after the date this Agreement is executed and which are based on acts or omissions occurring after such date. 
 For purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliate” means a Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, owns or controls, is owned or is controlled by, or is under common ownership or
control with, another Person. As used herein, “control” means the power to direct the management or affairs of a Person, and “ownership” means the beneficial ownership of at least 5% of the voting securities of the Person.
Company shall be deemed to control any settlement network in which it has any equity ownership. As used herein, “Person” means any corporation, limited or general partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, association,
organization or other entity. 
 3. Return of Company Property. On or before the last day of Executive’s active employment,
Executive will resign from all titles and positions with the Company, and return to the Company all property within Executive’s possession belonging to the Company, its subsidiaries or Affiliates, any customers of the Company or its
subsidiaries or Affiliates or any entity with whom the Company, its subsidiaries or Affiliates has entered into a confidentiality agreement, including, but not limited to, reports, maps, files, memoranda, records, credit cards, keys, passes,
customer lists, information, forms, software, formulas, plans, documents, systems, designs, methodologies, product features, technology, and other written and computer material, equipment and access codes, and copies of same that Executive has
requested or received, prepared or helped to prepare in connection with Executive’s employment with the Company. Executive will not at any time, now or thereafter, retain any copies, duplicates, reproductions or excerpts of such property.

 4. Commencing Another Position. If Executive obtains employment with the Company or its subsidiaries or Affiliates during the
Termination Period (“Subsequent Company Employment”), any and all further payments or benefits under the Agreement immediately will cease as of the date of such employment. In the event of Subsequent Company Employment, Executive
specifically agrees that the offer of employment to Executive by the Company or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, and Executive’s acceptance thereof, is sufficient consideration to support the release of claims contained herein notwithstanding
the fact that payments and benefits hereunder have ceased. If Executive obtains employment during the Termination Period with an entity other than the Company or its subsidiaries or Affiliates (“Subsequent Non-Company Employment”),
Executive will, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, continue to receive cash payments in accordance with paragraph 1(a) of this Agreement, but, except as otherwise required under applicable law, will no longer be eligible to receive the
benefits specified under paragraph 1(b) of this Agreement as of the date Executive becomes eligible to receive such benefits under a subsequent employer’s benefit plans or policies. In any event, it is Executive’s obligation to immediately
advise the Company of Subsequent Non-Company Employment. 
  

 Exhibit A - Page 3 

 5. Cooperation. During the Termination Period and thereafter, Executive agrees to cooperate fully
with the Company, its financial and legal advisors, and/or government officials in any claims, investigations, administrative proceedings, lawsuits, and other legal, internal or business matters, as reasonably requested by the Company. Company will
take into consideration the Executive’s personal and business commitments, will give the Executive as much advance notice as reasonably possible, and ask that [to the extent fully possible] Executive be available at such time or times, and at
such location or locations, as are mutually convenient to the Company and the Executive. Company agrees to reimburse Executive for the actual out-of-pocket expenses Executive incurs, [in accordance with the Company’s travel expense
reimbursement policy,] as a result of Executive’s complying with this paragraph 6, subject to Executive’s submission to the Company of documentation substantiating such expenses as the Company may reasonably require. To the extent that it
is consistent with the Company’s by-laws, certificate of incorporation and applicable laws, the Company will engage on its own behalf to represent Executive with legal counsel of its choosing if necessary in connection with such cooperation,
and in any event will reimburse Executive for documented, reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket travel expenses as are required and which Executive incurs in complying with Executive’s obligations under this paragraph. If for any reason the
Company determines that a conflict of interest may exist between Executive and the Company, the Company may require Executive to obtain separate counsel in which case the Company will subsequently reimburse Executive for the reasonable and necessary
legal fees associated with the use of such counsel and/or related travel expenses (as limited above), to the extent that such reimbursement is permitted by the Company’s by-laws, certificate of incorporation and applicable laws. 
 6. Confidentiality and Non-Disparagement. Executive hereby agrees to maintain the terms and conditions of this Agreement in the strictest
confidence and agrees not to disclose any of the terms of this Agreement unless and to the extent such disclosure is required by law or to secure advice from a legal or tax advisor or outplacement provider. This obligation extends to
Executive’s agents, including all tax advisors, who Executive must duly notify of the confidential nature of the content of this Agreement and of their confidential obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding this provision it is acknowledged that
Executive’s position as a principal financial officer of the Company requires disclosure of this Employment Agreement and Agreement and Release under the applicable SEC filings. The Company further acknowledges that Executive may be required to
discuss the terms of this Employment Agreement and Agreement and Release with the Investment Community and others. 
 Executive agrees not to intentionally make any direct or indirect derogatory statements regarding, or disparage in any way, the business or reputation of the Company or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any of their directors, officers,
managers or employees, unless such statements are required by law. Company agrees that its officers, directors, and Executive Committee Members shall not intentionally make any direct or indirect derogatory statements regarding, or disparage in any
way, the reputation of Executive, unless such statements are required by law. 
 7. Severability and Governing Law. In the event that
any provision of this Agreement is deemed unenforceable, Executive agrees that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have jurisdiction to reform such provision to the extent necessary to cause it to be 

  

 Exhibit A - Page 4 

 
enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. The provisions in this Agreement are severable, and if any provision is determined to be prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado without regard to principles of
conflicts of law. 
 8. Non-Admission. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall be construed as an admission by the Company,
any of the other Released Parties, or Executive that any of the parties violated any law, interfered with any right, breached any obligation or otherwise engaged in any improper or illegal conduct, the parties expressly denying any such improper or
illegal conduct. 
 9. Other Agreements, Survivability and Successorship. Executive acknowledges that, except as noted in the
following sentence, this Agreement is the entire agreement between the Company and Executive and that Executive has not relied on any other representations or statements, written or oral, by the Released Parties or their employees or agents
concerning the terms of the Agreement or any other matters not contained herein. This Agreement is supplemental to, and does not supersede, any non-solicitation, non-compete, non-disclosure, confidentiality and other agreements that Executive may
have signed while employed with the Company. In addition to this paragraph, the following paragraphs in this Agreement survive the termination of this Agreement: Complete Release; Return of Company Property; Commencing Another Position; Cooperation;
Confidentiality and Non-Disparagement; Severability and Governing Law; Non-Admission; and Other Agreements, Survivability and Successorship. 
 This Agreement inures to the benefit of any successors or assigns of the Company, and Executive’s obligations apply equally to the Company and its successors and assigns. 
 In the event of Executive’s death prior to Executive’s receipt of all of the sums due to Executive under paragraph 1(a) above,
the unpaid balance of such sums shall be paid to Executive’s estate. 
 10. Consideration and Remedy. Executive acknowledges that
the following paragraphs are material provisions of this Agreement: Complete Release, Return of Company Property; Commencing Another Position; Cooperation; Confidentiality and Non-Disparagement; Restrictive Covenant Agreement; Severability and
Governing Law; and Other Agreements, Survivability and Successorship (collectively, the “Material Provisions”). Executive further acknowledges that (i) the first $50,000 payable to Executive as payments pursuant to subparagraph
(a) of the “Payments and Benefits” paragraph of this Agreement is consideration (the “ADEA Consideration”) for Executive’s release and waiver in the “Complete Release” paragraph of this Agreement of any
claims, causes of action and demands of any kind arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (the “ADEA Released Claims”) and (ii) the remainder of the amount payable to Executive as payments and
benefits described in the “Payments and Benefits” paragraph of this Agreement are consideration (the “Other Consideration”) for (a) the Executive’s release and waiver in the “Complete Release” paragraph of
this Agreement of any claims, causes of action and demands of any kind other than 

  

 Exhibit A - Page 5 

 
the ADEA Released Claims (the “Other Released Claims”) and (b) the Executive’s obligations pursuant to the Material Provisions. In the
event of a breach by Executive of the Material Provisions (excluding ADEA Released Claims) or in the event Executive challenges the enforceability of this Agreement as to any of the Other Released Claims, the Company shall be entitled to immediately
cease providing to Executive the Other Consideration and any other benefits under this Agreement, except to the extent that such payments and benefits are required, either under this paragraph 11 or by law. In the event of a breach of this Agreement
by either party, the other party shall be entitled to all remedies available at law or equity. 
 11. Paragraph Headings. The
paragraph headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to alter or affect the meaning or interpretation of any provisions hereof. 
 12. Review Period and Revocation. Executive acknowledges that Executive was given twenty-one (21) days to review this Agreement from the time
Executive received it. Executive acknowledges that the Company has made no promises to Executive other than those contained in this Agreement. EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES EXECUTIVE WAS ADVISED TO REVIEW THIS AGREEMENT WITH AN ATTORNEY OF EXECUTIVE’S
CHOICE. Executive is further advised that Executive has 7 days after Executive signs this Agreement to revoke it by notifying the Company of such revocation in writing. In the event Executive revokes this Agreement as specified in the immediately
preceding sentence, the Company shall deem this Agreement to be void in its entirety, in which case neither party shall be bound by its terms and no payment shall be made to the Executive hereunder. 
 Executive’s signature below indicates that Executive has carefully read, reviewed, and fully understands this Agreement. Executive
acknowledges that Executive’s signature below constitutes a knowing and voluntary execution of this Agreement and Executive signs the same of Executive’s own free will and it is Executive’s intention to be bound thereby.
