PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL

December 14, 2017

This is a Release and Separation Agreement (the “Agreement”) between Mark Greenquist (hereinafter, “Employee,” “you” or “your”) and Commerce Technologies, LLC, as successor to Commerce Technologies, Inc.  (“CommerceHub” and, together with each of its direct or indirect parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, the “Company Entities”).  This Agreement will become effective only if you execute and deliver a signed copy of this Agreement by email PDF to CommerceHub’s General Counsel as provided in Section 15 below not later than twenty-one (21) days following the date set forth above, CommerceHub countersigns it, and the Revocation Period specified in Section 15 below expires without you revoking this Agreement (such conditions, collectively, the “Effectiveness Conditions”).

This Agreement confirms that your employment with CommerceHub will terminate effective December 31, 2017 (the “Date of Termination”), however, although you will no longer serve as Chief Financial Officer of CommerceHub or its parent entity effective as of the date on which your successor is appointed or, if sooner, the Date of Termination. You and CommerceHub wish to conclude your employment relationship on an amicable basis.  Accordingly, for good and valuable consideration as provided for in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound, you and CommerceHub agree as follows:

1.  Severance Payment; Bonus Payment.  As consideration for your entering into this Agreement, CommerceHub agrees to pay you $350,000 in the aggregate, reduced by all required payroll deductions and withholdings (the “Severance Amount”).  CommerceHub will pay you the Severance Amount in a single lump-sum payment within the 30-day period following the expiration of the Revocation Period (as defined below), provided that CommerceHub does not receive a Revocation Notice (as defined below) prior to the expiration of the Revocation Period (unless otherwise required by law).

In addition, as consideration for your entering into this Agreement and subject to the satisfaction of the Effectiveness Conditions, CommerceHub agrees that, you will remain eligible to receive your 2017 annual bonus, calculated (based on your target bonus of $262,500) in accordance with the manner in which such bonus would have been calculated and paid pursuant to the CommerceHub, Inc. 2017 bonus plan for executives (the “Bonus Plan”), but without discretionary adjustment for individual performance, had you remained employed as a CommerceHub, Inc. executive officer through the date on which such 2017 annual bonus is paid to the other members of the CommerceHub executive team (excluding the Chief Executive Officer), reduced by all required payroll deductions and withholdings (such payment, the “Bonus Payment”).  The Bonus Payment, if earned, shall be paid at the time when the 2017 annual bonus is paid to such other CommerceHub executive team members pursuant to the Bonus Plan.  For example, if the formula set forth in the Bonus Plan results in 2017 bonus payments to such executive team members (before applying any individual discretionary adjustments), at a rate of 95% of target, then, subject to the Effectiveness Conditions, you shall receive a Bonus Payment in the amount of 95% of your target bonus, or $249,375, less required payroll deductions and withholdings.

2.  Unemployment Compensation.  Although approving unemployment insurance benefits is a decision made by the applicable governmental, judicial or administrative body having jurisdiction over such matters (“Governing Authority”), CommerceHub will not contest your claim for unemployment compensation if you file one.  For greater clarity, the foregoing will not, and is not intended to, restrict or otherwise interfere with CommerceHub’s ability and obligation to comply with applicable law and to respond adequately and truthfully to inquiries from any Governing Authority.

3.  Vacation Pay.  CommerceHub will pay you for your accrued, but unused paid time off (“PTO”) up to the maximum number of hours you are eligible to accrue per CommerceHub’s PTO policy (unless otherwise required by law), reduced by all required payroll deductions and withholdings, within the 30-

Release and Separation Agreement                                                                         Page 1 of 1

day period following the Date of Termination (unless otherwise required by law), per the guidelines in the PTO policy.

4.  Benefits.  Your medical, vision and dental benefits provided to you as a CommerceHub employee will end on the Date of Termination.  Under separate cover, a COBRA letter will be provided to you by CommerceHub or its COBRA vendor.  Should you make a timely election to continue health care coverage pursuant to COBRA, your coverage for the plans elected will retroactively take effect from the date that your CommerceHub medical benefits ended, and CommerceHub will cover the applicable premium required for COBRA continuation coverage for you (and your spouse and eligible dependents, as applicable, if they were covered under the applicable insurance immediately prior to the termination of your employment) until the earlier of the date you become eligible to receive equivalent coverage from a successor employer, or December 31, 2018.  Your election of COBRA benefits should be sent directly to CommerceHub.  Further instructions and costs will be outlined in your COBRA materials.  All other benefits provided to you as a CommerceHub employee will terminate as of the Date of Termination.  If you participate in CommerceHub’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), any contributions you have made during the current offering period will be refunded to you within the 30-day period following the Date of Termination (unless otherwise required by law).

5.  Return of Company Property.  You agree to return promptly to CommerceHub all property belonging to any of the Company Entities that is in your possession or otherwise under your control, including, without limitation, any of CommerceHub’s and its customers’ documentation and records (including all copies thereof), any personal computing devices, mobile devices and accompanying passwords and data (including any and all copies thereof), other equipment, corporate credit cards and office keys and/or badges. If you have used your personal accounts or devices for company business, you will promptly forward to your manager any work-related communications through your personal accounts or devices prior to the Date of Termination, and irretrievably delete such communications from your personal accounts and devices once CommerceHub has confirmed receipt.

6.  Release of Claims.  Except as set forth in Section 8 below, in consideration of the payments and benefits described herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, you, for yourself, your marital community, heirs, beneficiaries, assigns and legal successors in interest, agree to fully and forever release, discharge, indemnify and hold harmless each of the Company Entities (including, without limitation, CommerceHub, Inc., Commerce Technologies, LLC and each of their direct or indirect parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates), and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, controlling persons, employees, agents, attorneys, and insurers, predecessors in interest, and successors in interest, and any affiliate of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Released Persons”) of and from, and you hereby waive, any and all claims, suits, demands, actions and/or other causes of action, whether for contribution or indemnification, debts or other sums of money, covenants, contracts, agreements, promises, damages, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, attorney’s fees, costs, or any other demands, liabilities or obligations of any kind or nature whatsoever, in law or at equity, asserted or unasserted, known or unknown, which you now have, ever had, or ever claimed to have had (collectively “Claims”) against any of the Released Persons, occurring up to and including the date that you sign this Agreement, including, without limitation, any Claims arising out of, connected with, or in any way related to your employment with CommerceHub and/or the termination thereof, other than your right to receive the Severance Amount and Bonus Payment (if earned) pursuant to Section 1 above, payment for accrued PTO (if any) under Section 3 above, and payment for contributions to the ESPP (if any) under Section 4 above, and to potentially receive reimbursement for COBRA payments pursuant to Section 4 above in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  You acknowledge and agree that this release, discharge, indemnification and waiver includes, without limitation, any Claim based on any principles of common law (tort, contract, or otherwise), or on any foreign, federal, state, or local law, statute, regulation or ordinance, including those relating to age, sex, race, disability, religion, national origin, or other form of discrimination, retaliation, or any other employment related matter, including without limitation any Claims 

Release and Separation Agreement                                                                         Page 2 of 2

under the National Labor Relations Act; the Fair Labor Standards Act; Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act; the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; and any other state or local laws and regulations of any kind. This release does not affect your entitlement to any vested accrued benefit to which you may be entitled under any employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or your right to enforce the terms of this Agreement.

You are expressly advised, and hereby acknowledge that you understand, that you are releasing all claims for discrimination on the basis of age under federal, state and local law, including without limitation the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act.

You acknowledge that you intend that this Agreement shall be effective as a bar to each and every one of the Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied.  You expressly consent that this Agreement shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms and provisions, including those relating to unknown, unsuspected or unanticipated Claims (notwithstanding any statute that expressly limits the effectiveness of a general release of unknown, unsuspected or unanticipated Claims), if any, as well as those relating to any other Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied that may exist up to and including the date of this Agreement.  You acknowledge and agree that this release is an essential and material term of this Agreement, and CommerceHub is entering into this Agreement in reliance on such release.  You further agree that if you bring a Claim seeking damages or relief against any Released Person, or if you seek to recover against any Released Person in any Claim brought by a governmental agency on your behalf, the release set forth in this Agreement shall serve as a complete defense to such Claims, and you shall reimburse each Released Person for any attorneys’ fees or expenses or other fees and expenses incurred in defending any such Claim.

You further agree that you will not be entitled to and will disclaim and refuse relief from, or sought by, any administrative agency based upon or investigating any Claim or other matter released in this Agreement to the fullest extent allowed by law and subject to Section 8 below.

Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing release of Claims, you agree that, other than the payments set forth in Sections 1 (Severance Payment; Bonus Payment), 3 (Vacation Pay) and 4 (Benefits) above, and other than your rights with respect to your stock option grant dated July 20, 2016 with respect to shares of CommerceHub, Inc. Series C common stock pursuant to the Stock Option Agreement dated July 21, 2016 and the CommerceHub, Inc. Legacy Stock Appreciation Rights Plan applicable thereto, which option, as of the Date of Termination, you acknowledge will have vested as to 76,359 shares underlying such option (such vested options, the “Vested Options”), you are not entitled to any other compensation, remuneration, bonus, severance, benefit, compensation, payment or incentive (including any capital stock, stock option, stock appreciation right or any other equity-based incentive) or any reimbursement of any expenses of any kind or nature or expectation of remuneration from any Released Person, whether pursuant to any pre-existing or contemporaneous oral or written agreement or otherwise.  For avoidance of doubt, you acknowledge that, other than the Vested Options, as of the Date of Termination, no other equity incentive compensation provided to you will have vested, all further vesting of equity incentive awards previously provided to you will cease and such awards will terminate and will no longer be outstanding. 

7.  No Pending Claims.  You represent that you have not filed, claimed or caused or permitted to be filed or claimed, any action for legal or equitable relief (including damages, injunctive, declaratory, monetary or other relief) involving any Claim or other matter released in this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, CommerceHub shall have no obligation to make any of the payments specified in Sections 1 and 4 above (if any) if you breach this Agreement in any material respect or file, claim or cause or permit to be filed or claimed, any action for legal or equitable relief (including damages, injunctive, declaratory, monetary or other relief) involving any Claim or other matter released in this Agreement.  

Release and Separation Agreement                                                                         Page 3 of 3

8. Protected Activity. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit you from filing a charge with, or participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board or any other federal, state or local governmental agency charged with enforcement of any law.  You understand that you retain the right to participate in any such action and to communicate with government agencies and such communication can be initiated by you or in response to the government and is not limited by any non-disparagement or confidentiality obligation under this Agreement.  This Agreement, however, does operate to prevent you from seeking or recovering monetary damages or other individual-specific relief in connection with any such investigation or proceeding.  Nothing in this Agreement (including the release of Claims set forth in Section 6 above and the confidentiality obligations set forth in the Employment Agreement referenced in Section 9 below) shall be construed to prohibit you from communicating with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) about possible securities law violations concerning any Company Entities or any other company or from participating in any monetary recovery that may be offered by the SEC or other agency or body of the United States government in connection with any such securities law complaint or charge, including under Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  

9.  Confirmation of Prior Agreements.  CommerceHub acknowledges that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to modify the rights and obligations set forth in the Indemnification Agreement dated May 19, 2016 between you and Commerce Technologies, Inc. (as predecessor to CommerceHub), which Indemnity Agreement remains in effect.  You acknowledge that you continue to be bound by the obligations set forth in your Non-Disclosure, Invention Assignment, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement dated Jun 14, 2016 (the “Employment Agreement”), including, without limitation, the obligations of confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation and other post-employment activities set forth in the Employment Agreement.  In addition, you agree that the Confidential Information protected under the Employment Agreement includes the existence and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, any information relating in any way to the released Claims and any discussions relating in any way to resolution of any such Claims.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may disclose the existence, and the terms and conditions, of this Agreement (i) to your spouse or (ii) in the context of a privileged communication to your accountant or your attorney, in each case, who is obligated to maintain such information in accordance with this Agreement and in accordance with applicable professional canons restricting the disclosure of client confidences.

In addition, except as set forth in Section 8 above, in the event you are legally compelled to disclose any Confidential Information under an order of a court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental agency, entity or tribunal with subpoena authority, you may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that your legal counsel advises you in writing that you are legally compelled to disclose and you will promptly notify CommerceHub by sending written notice to the attention of its General Counsel, prior to any such disclosure so that CommerceHub may take any action it deems necessary or desirable to assure confidential treatment of any such Confidential Information.  The federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 provides immunity from state and federal civil or criminal liability for you if you disclose a trade secret (a) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, but in either case only if the disclosure is solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) in a complaint or other document filed with a court in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if the filing of that document is made under seal, and any other disclosure of the trade secret made by you is only as allowed by the court.

Nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to prohibit you from disclosing to any potential employer, or to any employment agency or employment counselor, the fact that you are legally prohibited from disclosing Confidential Information as set forth in this Agreement and the Employment Agreement.

Release and Separation Agreement                                                                         Page 4 of 4

10.  Your Availability and Cooperation.  You agree to make yourself reasonably available from time to time upon request by CommerceHub for your assistance in connection with any matter related, directly or indirectly, to your former employment, without additional consideration for any such assistance.  You further agree and understand that you will make yourself available, cooperate in any reasonable manner, and provide assistance in connection with any investigation, litigation or other legal proceeding which relates to your previous employment.  CommerceHub will work to ensure that the cooperation or assistance requested from you will not unreasonably interfere with any subsequent employment you obtain.  If CommerceHub requests such cooperation, CommerceHub will reimburse you for your reasonable and pre-approved out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection therewith.

11.  Your Acknowledgement; Equitable Relief.  You acknowledge that the types and period of restrictions imposed on you in this Agreement and the Employment Agreement are fair and reasonable, and that such restrictions are intended solely to protect the legitimate interests of CommerceHub.  You recognize that your access to Confidential Information makes it necessary for CommerceHub to restrict your post-employment activities as provided herein and in the Employment Agreement because your access to Confidential Information could be used to the Company Entities’ detriment.  You also acknowledge and agree that if you should breach the covenants, restrictions or agreements contained in this Agreement and in the Employment Agreement, irreparable loss and injury would result to one or more of the Company Entities and that damage arising out of such a breach may be difficult or impossible to ascertain.  Accordingly, you agree that, in addition to all other remedies provided at law or in equity, CommerceHub may petition and obtain from a court of law or equity all appropriate temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of posting a bond or other security, except as may be required by state law.

12.  Communication About You; No Disparagement and No Admission.  Upon inquiry from a prospective employer to our Human Resources department regarding a former CommerceHub employee, CommerceHub’s practice is to confirm the dates of employment for the former employee in question and to not provide any other information or opinion regarding the former employee.  You agree that at all times you will refrain from negative commentary or any disparaging statements about CommerceHub, unless such statements are required to give truthful testimony under oath.  Neither CommerceHub’s agreement to pay to you the amounts provided for in this Agreement nor any other covenant or agreement of CommerceHub under this Agreement constitutes, and will not be deemed, construed or interpreted in whole or in part to constitute, an admission of guilt, culpability, wrongdoing or liability on the part of CommerceHub in connection with any Claims against CommerceHub or with respect to any other matter involving any of the Company Entities.

13.  Social Media Platforms. From and after the Date of Termination, you agree to remove from your accounts on any social media platform or networking site (including, but not limited to, Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn) any statement or inference that you are currently employed by CommerceHub or any of the Company Entities.

14.  Choice of Law; Venue; Severability; Waiver; Integration and Counterparts.  This Agreement will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York as applicable to agreements wholly performed therein, but without reference to the conflicts of law provisions thereof.  An action to enforce this Agreement may only be brought in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York or the Supreme Court of New York State, County of Albany.  In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is, for any reason, held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, then to the maximum extent permitted by law, such provision shall be deemed deleted from this Agreement and replaced by a valid and enforceable provision which so far as possible achieves the parties’ intent in agreeing to the original provision.  Any waiver by either party of any right to receive the benefit of or enforce any term or condition of this Agreement will not be deemed a continuing waiver of such right.  This Agreement and the Employment Agreement constitute your entire understanding with CommerceHub as regard their subject matter, and supersede and extinguish all prior 

Release and Separation Agreement                                                                         Page 5 of 5

and/or contemporaneous oral and/or written understandings between you and CommerceHub regarding their subject matter.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  This Agreement and any Revocation Notice may be executed by facsimile signatures and may be delivered by the exchange of counterparts of signature pages by means of email PDF transmission with an original signed version sent separately by mail promptly thereafter.

15.  Consideration Period and Revocation Period.  By providing you this Agreement, CommerceHub is informing you that you have the right to consider the terms and conditions of this Agreement for a period not exceeding twenty-one (21) days prior to entering into this Agreement.  CommerceHub and you agree that changes, whether material or immaterial, to this Agreement do not restart the running of such consideration period.  You also understand that you have the right to revoke this Agreement during the seven (7) day period following the date you sign this Agreement (the “Revocation Period”) by giving CommerceHub written notice of your revocation (the “Revocation Notice”) via email PDF to CommerceHub’s General Counsel by not later than the expiration of the Revocation Period, with an original signed version of the Revocation Notice sent by mail promptly thereafter.  By signing this Agreement, you certify that you have read the terms of this Agreement, that you have been advised by CommerceHub to consult an attorney of your own choice prior to executing this Agreement, that you have had an opportunity to do so, and that you understand this Agreement’s terms, conditions and effects, including the waiver and release; you are receiving consideration from CommerceHub that you would not otherwise be entitled to receive; you knowingly and voluntarily enter into this Agreement without fraud, duress, or any undue influence; and you are not waiving any rights or claims that may arise after the date the Agreement is executed.  You acknowledge that this Agreement will not become effective and, except as otherwise required by law (including with respect to PTO pay described above), CommerceHub will not pay you any amounts provided for in this Agreement: (a) if CommerceHub receives the Revocation Notice prior to the expiration of the Revocation Period; and (b) until the expiration of the Revocation Period and only if CommerceHub did not receive the Revocation Notice during the Revocation Period.

Michael Trimarchi
8 Harvest Lane 
Wilton NY 12831

Dear Michael:  

It is with great pleasure that I invite you to join Commerce Technologies, Inc. (“CommerceHub” or the “Company”).  This letter amends and restates the previously executed letter dated April 13, 2016 regarding this offer of employment.

Start Date: May 16, 2016

Title: Chief Accounting Officer

Reporting to: You will report directly to the Company's Chief Executive Officer until such time as the Chief Executive Officer reassigns your role to report to the Chief Financial Officer.

Duties: You shall have such responsibilities and duties as your manager may assign from time to time, including management and oversight of the Company’s Financial Planning and Analysis activities.

Office Location: Albany, NY

Base Salary: Your annual base salary will be $300,000.00. The company pay cycle is twice monthly; therefore you will be paid $12,500.00 semi-monthly.

Bonus: Your annual bonus target for 100% achievement of your performance goals for each year will be equivalent to 60% of your salary, however each year’s bonus is also contingent on the Company’s Board of Directors approval of a bonus pool with respect to such year. Please note that you must be hired prior to September 30th to be eligible for such bonus, and any hire date after January 1st of a given year will be prorated based on date of hire.

Signing Bonus: In addition, you will be eligible to receive the following one-time bonus payments: (1) an initial signing bonus in the amount of $35,000 (less applicable taxes and payroll deductions) payable with the first payroll following your start date, and (2) a second signing bonus in the amount of 35,000 (less applicable taxes and payroll deductions) payable with the first payroll following completion of the initial Company earnings call following completion of the spin-off transaction.  Each of the foregoing signing bonus payments is contingent on your remaining employed by the Company through the applicable payment date.
 
Stock Appreciation Rights: You have been selected to participate in Commerce Technologies, Inc. Stock Appreciation Rights Plan (the “SAR Plan”). Pursuant to the Plan and subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, you will be granted stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) representing the right to receive the “spread” between the fair market value of common stock shares of Commerce Technologies, Inc. on the date you are awarded stock appreciation rights, and the fair market value of that stock on the date of exercise, each as determined by the Board, with respect to shares of Commerce Technologies, Inc. common stock as follows:

		
	1.
	A grant of SARs (or similar equity-based incentive as described below) with a Black-Scholes value of $500,000, which vests annually in 4 equal installments on each anniversary of the grant date over the 4-year period following the grant; and 

		
	2.
	A performance-based grant of SARs (or similar equity-based incentive as described below) with a Black-Scholes value of $100,000, which vests upon your successful achievement of the first year-end 

independent financial audit with respect to which the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm conducting such audit has confirmed that CommerceHub (including its publicly traded parent following the spin-off transaction) has (a) reviewed, documented and tested its internal control over financial reporting, and (b) resolved and remediated the previously identified material weakness in the Company’s (including its publicly traded parent following the spin-off transaction) internal control over financial reporting relating to the processes and controls to properly identify and account for transactions of a complex and non-routine nature.

It is possible that the SAR Plan will be replaced by a successor plan soon after your start date, in which case, subject to Board approval, you may instead be granted a substantially equivalent equity incentive (which may be in the form of stock options or other equity incentive award in lieu of SARs) with respect to common stock shares in Commerce Technologies, Inc., or if the Company’s previously announced plans to complete a spin-off are completed, shares in the newly formed public company.

Change of Control Vesting and Severance:  Your equity incentive agreement will provide, among other things, that if the Company terminates your employment other than for Cause (as defined below) during the 6-month period following the consummation of a Change of Control (as defined below) resulting from a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s business (by stock sale, asset sale or merger) to a third-party acquirer, other than an Exempt Holder (as defined below), the SARs (or replacement equity incentive) granted to you in connection with this offer of employment that are unvested as of the date of such termination of employment will automatically become fully vested, subject to the terms and conditions of such equity incentive agreement and the applicable plan documents governing such equity incentive.

Additionally, if the Company terminates your employment other than for Cause (as defined below) during the 6-month period following the consummation of a Change of Control (as defined below) resulting from a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s business (by stock sale, asset sale or merger) to a third-party acquirer, other than an Exempt Holder (as defined below), the Company will pay you a lump-sum severance amount equal to the net present value of your then-current annual base salary in effect as of the date of termination (discounted using the applicable Federal Rate for short-term obligations for the month in which the termination occurs), provided, however that any such severance payments shall be conditioned on your executing and delivering to the Company a general release of claims in form and substance satisfactory to the Company.

“Exempt Holder” is any direct or indirect beneficial equity holder (or family members of beneficial holders that are individuals) of the Company or any of its direct or indirect parent entities which holder is also a director or officer of the Company or any of its direct or indirect parent entities.

“Change of Control” means any transaction in which the Company’s Board (or, if approval of the Board is not required as a matter of law, the stockholders of the Company) shall approve (i) any merger, consolidation or binding share exchange to which the Company is a party as a result of which the holders of the Company’s common stock immediately prior thereto have less than a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding capital stock of the Company ordinarily (and apart from the rights accruing under special circumstances) having the right to vote in the election of directors immediately following such merger, consolidation or binding share exchange, or (ii) any sale, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Company.  For avoidance of doubt, a public offering of the Company’s (or any of its affiliate’s) securities (including the currently contemplated spin-off transaction and/or any other distribution of securities to the current shareholders of the Company’s publicly traded parent company) and any corporate restructuring activities undertaken in connection with any such public offering shall not, in and of itself, constitute a Change of Control resulting from a sale of the Company’s business for purposes of this provision.

As used in this letter, “cause” means: (a) your continuing failure to substantially perform your duties with the Company after notice is provided, (b) commission of a felony or any act of fraud or act or omission involving dishonesty or material disloyalty with respect to the Company or any of its customers or suppliers or other 

material business relations, (c) conduct tending to bring the Company into substantial public disgrace or disrepute, (d) your gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (e) your material breach of any agreement between you and the Company.  

Time Off: Subject to CommerceHub’s PTO policies then in effect, you will be provided 20 days of paid time off (PTO) annually, which currently accrues semi-monthly with each pay period. The company also provides 6 paid holidays, plus two floating holidays annually. Additionally, if hired prior to September 30th, you will be provided a volunteer day (8 hours, to be used in a full day increment).

Benefits: CTI offers flexible and comprehensive benefits which will be reviewed with you upon your first day of employment.

401K Plan: CTI has established a 401k plan and currently provides matching contributions equal to $1.00 for each $1.00 you contribute to the plan each payroll period up to the first 6% of your eligible compensation for such payroll period. You will receive additional information about the program following your start date.  

Conditions of Employment: This letter is not intended as a guarantee of employment or benefits for any period, but rather is an understanding as to the compensation and other benefits you will initially receive from CommerceHub.

This offer of employment is contingent upon you signing the letter indicating your acceptance of the above terms as well as satisfactory completion of references and background investigation. You will be required to review and sign CommerceHub’s standard Confidential Information and Non-Compete Agreement (the “Employee Agreement”), which will be provided to you on your first day of employment.  The terms and conditions of this Employee Agreement will apply, regardless of any change in the nature of your duties, compensation or employment with any entity related to CommerceHub.

Your employment with CommerceHub will be considered at all times to be on an “at-will” basis. This means either you or CommerceHub may terminate your employment at any time, with or without notice, and for any or no reason. CommerceHub may modify its policies and practices, including the compensation and benefits it provides from time to time as it deems necessary. However, the at-will nature of your employment may be modified only by a written agreement signed by both you and CommerceHub. It is also essential that you identify immediately in writing any circumstances or agreements with prior employers – including, for example, non-compete agreements which might interfere or limit your ability to work at CommerceHub and to perform fully your duties and responsibilities.

Lastly, your employment is contingent upon your compliance with the US immigration law. The law requires you to complete the US Government Employment Eligibility Verification Form (I-9), and to provide on your first day of employment documents that verify your identity and employment eligibility.

We are excited for you to join our team! Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

Sincerely,

 /S/ FRANK POORE
