Agreements. 

Borrower understands and agrees, and waives and releases Lender, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees, as follows: 

	
 
	
1.
	
The Loan will be made under the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program. Accordingly, this Note and the other Loan Documents must be submitted to and approved by the SBA.

2.
	
Lender is participating in the Payroll Protection Program to help businesses impacted by the economic impact from COVID-19.  However, Lender anticipates high volumes and there may be processing delays and system failures along with other issues that interfere with submission of Borrower’s application to SBA.  Lender does not represent or guarantee that it will submit the application while SBA funding remains available under the Payroll Protection Program or at all.  Borrower hereby agrees that Lender is not responsible or liable to Borrower or any of its affiliates (i) if the Lender does not submit Borrower’s application to the SBA until after the date that SBA stops approving applications under the Paycheck Protection Program, for any reason or (ii) if the application is not processed by Lender.  Borrower forever releases 

3

 

 

	
 
		
and waives any claims against Lender, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees concerning failure to obtain the Loan.

3.
	
Forgiveness of the Loan is only available for principal that is used for the limited purposes that expressly qualify for forgiveness under SBA requirements, and that to obtain forgiveness, Borrower must request forgiveness from the Lender, provide documentation in accordance with the SBA requirements, and certify that the amounts Borrower is requesting to be forgiven qualify under those requirements.

4.
	
Forgiveness of the Loan is not automatic and Borrower must request forgiveness of the Loan from Lender.  Borrower is not relying on Lender for its understanding of the requirements for forgiveness such as eligible expenditures, necessary records/documentation, or possible reductions due to changes in number of employees or compensation.  Borrower agrees that will consult the SBA’s program materials and consult with its own counsel regarding the criteria forgiveness.

6.
	
Borrower's liability under this Note will continue with respect to any amounts SBA may pay Bank based on an SBA guarantee of this Note.

7.
	
Lender reserves the right to modify the Note Amount based on documentation received from Borrower.

I.
	
INTRODUCTION

This Severance Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of March 11, 2019 (the “Commencement Date”), by and between Alphatec Spine, Inc., a subsidiary of Alphatec Holdings, Inc. (“AHI”) (collectively, “ATEC” or the “Company”) and David Sponsel (the “Executive”) to provide severance benefits to the Executive in the event his employment is terminated involuntarily under certain circumstances.  All benefit determinations under this Severance Agreement and any interpretation of provisions in this Severance Agreement will be made by the Board of Directors of AHI (the “Board”) or its designee in its sole discretion.  The Agreement is described in further detail below.

	
II.
	
ELIGIBILITY

In the event Executive is terminated involuntarily he will be eligible for severance benefits described in Section III of this Agreement, PROVIDED each of the following requirements is met:

A.The termination of employment is involuntary.

B.The termination is not due to retirement, death or disability of the Executive.

C.The termination of employment is not for “Cause” (as defined below).  For purposes of the Agreement, “Cause” shall mean the following:

1.Executive’s repeated failure to satisfactorily perform Executive’s job duties;

2.refusal or failure to follow the lawful directions of Executive’s direct supervisor, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or Board, as applicable;

3.conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a crime involving moral turpitude; or

4.engaging in acts or omissions constituting gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of the Executive with respect to his obligations or otherwise relating to the business of the Company, its affiliates or customers.

The Executive must be provided a period of at least thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice outlining with specificity all acts or omissions that the Company alleges give rise to a termination for cause pursuant to Section II, C.1 or C.2 immediately above, during which period he may effect a cure of any curable actions or omissions forming the basis for the termination for cause.  The Board, will, in its sole discretion, apply the definitions of “Cause” herein to determine if a termination of employment is for “Cause.”

D.The Executive is not a temporary employee or a new hire who has not yet started to work on a regular, full-time or part-time basis (as appropriate).

 

 

E.The Executive is not covered under any other severance-type plan, policy, arrangement or agreement that provides severance payments and benefits more favorable in the aggregate to those provided herein.  If any such plan, policy, arrangement or agreement exists, the Executive will receive payments and benefits pursuant to that plan, policy, arrangement or agreement and shall not receive any of the severance payments and benefits described herein.  In no case will the Executive receive severance payments and benefits under any other such severance-type plan, policy, arrangement or agreement and this Agreement.

F.In the event that the Executive is party to a “Change in Control” Agreement with Company that also provides for severance benefits, in the event of a “Change in Control” (as defined therein) the Executive shall not receive benefits under this Agreement, but instead shall receive only the severance benefits provided under such “Change in Control” Agreement (i.e., there shall be no “double-dipping” and only the “Change in Control” Agreement shall apply in such an event).

G.The Executive has not agreed in writing to waive severance benefits under this Agreement or otherwise payable from the Company.

H.The Executive (or, in the event of the executive’s death or incapacity, the Executive’s executor, representative or guardian, as applicable) signs and does not revoke a separation agreement and general release of all claims in such form as the Company may from time-to-time reasonably require (“Separation Agreement”).

I.The Executive has returned all Company property and equipment that was assigned to, or taken general control of by, him during his tenure with the Company.

If terminated, the Executive must satisfy all of the requirements set forth above in order to receive severance benefits under this Agreement.  Eligibility for severance benefits under this Agreement will be determined by the Company upon the Executive’s termination of employment.  The Company has full power and authority to interpret the provisions of this Agreement and render decisions on eligibility for benefits.  If the Company determines that the Executive satisfies all of the eligibility conditions described above, the Executive will receive severance benefits calculated in accordance with Section III below.  The severance benefits will be paid following the Executive’s termination of employment in accordance with the terms set forth below and in the respective Separation Agreement.

	
III.
	
SEVERANCE BENEFITS

A.Severance Pay and Benefits.  The following severance pay and benefits are payable under this Agreement:

1.Severance Pay.  The severance pay provided to the Executive if involuntarily terminated under the terms of this Agreement consists of an amount equal to one times (1x) his regular annual base salary.

The amount of severance pay to the Executive shall be based upon the Executive’s regular annual base salary in effect immediately before the Executive’s termination of 

-2-

 

employment, determined without regard to any overtime, bonuses, fringe benefits, reimbursements or other irregular payments.  The Executive’s general release of all claims referred to in Section II.H. must be effective no later than the sixtieth (60th) day following the Executive’s termination of employment in order for the Executive to receive any severance pay or benefits under the Agreement.  Severance pay will be paid in a single cash lump-sum on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Executive’s termination of employment (or as soon as administratively practicable after such sixtieth (60th) day).

2.Benefits Continuation.  Upon an involuntary termination of employment pursuant to which the Executive is entitled to severance pay under Section III.A.1., subject to the Executive’s timely election of continuation coverage under the Consolidated Budget Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), the Company will pay the premiums for the Executive for a period of eighteen (18) months based on the level of coverage in effect as of the date of the Executive’s termination.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Executive becomes eligible to receive substantially similar or improved medical, dental or vision benefits from a subsequent employer (whether or not the Executive accepts such benefits), the Company’s obligations under this Section III.A.2. shall immediately cease.  The Executive will notify the Company of his eligibility for such benefits from a subsequent employer within thirty (30) days of such eligibility.

In the event that the Company’s making payments under this Section III.A.2 would violate nondiscrimination rules or result in the imposition of penalties under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (“PPACA”) and related regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder, the parties agree to reform this Section III.A.2. in such manner as is necessary to comply with tax laws and the PPACA, as applicable.

3.Equity Awards.  Upon an involuntary termination of employment pursuant to which the Executive is entitled to severance pay under Section III.A.1., any vested stock option awards held by Executive at the time of his termination will remain exercisable by the Executive for the greater of (i) 90 days following the effective date of the Executive’s termination and (ii) the remaining term of such option award, and all other Company equity awards held by Executive that remain unvested upon the effective date of his termination will be forfeited for no consideration.
