 Exhibit 10.2 

AMENDED & RESTATED SEVERANCE AND CHANGE
IN CONTROL AGREEMENT 
 This Amended & Restated Severance and Change in Control
Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Cesar Johnston (the “Executive”) and Energous Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), on December 6th, 2021, and is effective December 6th, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety that
certain Amended & Restated Severance and Change in Control Agreement between Executive and the Company dated July 1st, 2020 (the “Prior Agreement”). 

1.    Term of Agreement. 

Except to the extent renewed as set forth in this Section 1, this Agreement shall terminate the earlier of the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Expiration Date”) or the date the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates for a reason other than a CIC Qualifying
Termination; provided, however, if a definitive agreement relating to a Change in Control has been signed by the Company on or before Expiration Date, then this Agreement shall remain in effect through the earlier of: 

(a)    The date the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates for a reason other than a CIC Qualifying
Termination, or 
 (b)    The date the Company has met all of its obligations under this Agreement following a
termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company due to a CIC Qualifying Termination. 
 This Agreement shall renew and continue in effect
for three (3) year periods measured from the initial Expiration Date, unless the Company provides Executive notice of non-renewal at least three (3) months prior to the date on which this Agreement
would otherwise renew. Prior to any renewal, the compensation committee shall have the opportunity to review and amend this Agreement, with good faith consultation with the Chief Executive Officer. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in Section 2 or 3 below, the Company’s non-renewal of this Agreement shall not constitute a Qualifying Termination or a CIC Qualifying Termination, as applicable. 

2.    Termination upon a Qualifying Termination other than a CIC Qualifying Termination. In the event of a Qualifying Termination
that is not a CIC Qualifying Termination, notwithstanding any rights or benefits the Executive is eligible to receive under any other applicable plan, employment agreement, or similar contract with the Company, the terms of this Agreement shall
represent the sole rights and benefits the Executive is eligible to receive as a result of the Qualifying Termination. If the Executive is subject to a Qualifying Termination, then, subject to Sections 4, 8, and 9 below, Executive will be entitled
to the following benefits: 
 (a)    Severance Benefits. The Company shall pay the Executive (1) 18 months of
Executive’s monthly base salary (at the rate in effect immediately prior to the actions that resulted in the Qualifying Termination) (2) an amount equal to 100% of the Executive’s target bonus, plus (3) if agreed to by the
Compensation Committee at the time of the Qualifying Termination, a discretionary bonus for the year in which the Qualifying Termination occurs (together, such salary 

 
and bonus payments, the “Severance”). The Executive will receive the Severance in a cash lump-sum in accordance with the Company’s
standard payroll procedures which will be made on the first business day occurring after the sixtieth (60th) day following the Separation, provided that the Release Conditions have been
satisfied. 
 (b)    Equity. Except to the extent prohibited by Section 409A of the Code: (a) none of
the Executive’s then-outstanding unvested Equity Awards (as defined below) that vest upon satisfaction of performance criteria, shall accelerate and become vested and (b) the amount that would vest in the next 18 months of continuing
employment of the Executive’s then-outstanding unvested Equity Awards, other than any Equity Awards that vest upon satisfaction of performance criteria, shall accelerate and become vested. 

(c)    Pay in Lieu of Continued Employee Benefits. If Executive timely elects continued coverage under the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), the Company or its successor shall pay the full amount of Executive’s COBRA premiums on behalf of the Executive for the Executive’s continued
coverage under the Company’s health, dental and vision plans, including coverage for the Executive’s eligible dependents, for the 18 month period following the Executive’s Separation or, if earlier, until Executive is eligible to be
covered under another substantially equivalent medical insurance plan by a subsequent employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that it cannot provide the foregoing subsidy of COBRA coverage without
potentially violating or causing the Company to incur additional expense as a result of noncompliance with applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company instead shall provide to
Executive a taxable monthly payment in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that Executive would be required to pay to continue the group health coverage in effect on the date of the Separation (which amount shall be based on the premium for
the first month of COBRA coverage), which payments shall be made regardless of whether Executive elects COBRA continuation coverage, shall commence on the later of (i) the first day of the month following the month in which Executive
experiences a Separation and (ii) the effective date of the Company’s determination of violation of applicable law, and shall end on the earlier of (x) the effective date on which Executive becomes covered by a health, dental or
vision insurance plan of a subsequent employer, and (y) the last day of the period 12 months after the Separation, provided that, any taxable payments under Section 2(c) will not be paid before the first business day occurring after
the sixtieth (60th) day following the Separation and, once they commence, will include any unpaid amounts accrued from the date of Executive’s Separation (to the extent not otherwise
satisfied with continuation coverage). However, if the period comprising the sum of the sixty (60)-day period described in the preceding sentence and the ten (10)-day
period described in Section 6(e)(3) below spans two calendar years, then the payments which constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A will not in any case be paid in the first calendar year. Executive shall have no right to
an additional gross-up payment to account for the fact that such COBRA premium amounts are paid on an after-tax basis. 

(d)    General Release. Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, the benefits under Section 2
shall not apply unless the Executive (i) has executed a general release (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A) of all known and unknown claims that the Executive may then have against the Company or persons affiliated with the
Company and such release has become effective and (ii) has agreed not to prosecute any legal action or other 

  
 2 

 
proceeding based upon any of such claims. The release must be in the form prescribed by the Company, without alterations (this document effecting the foregoing, the “Release”).
The Company will deliver the form of Release to the Executive within thirty (30) days after the Executive’s Separation. The Executive must execute and return the Release within the time period specified in the form, and in all events
within sixty (60) days following the termination event described in Section 2, as applicable. 
 3.    CIC Qualifying
Termination. In the event of a CIC Qualifying Termination, notwithstanding any rights or benefits the Executive is eligible to receive under any other applicable plan, employment agreement, or similar contract with the Company, the terms of this
Agreement shall represent the sole rights and benefits the Executive is eligible to receive as a result of the CIC Qualifying Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, the Executive can only receive the payments below upon a CIC Qualifying
Termination and in such event will not be eligible to receive any of the payments or benefits set forth in Section 2. If the Executive is subject to a CIC Qualifying Termination, then, subject to Sections 4, 8, and 9 below, Executive will be
entitled to the following benefits: 
 (a)    CIC Severance Benefits. The Company shall pay the Executive: (1) 18
months of the Executive’s monthly base salary (at the rate in effect immediately prior to the actions that resulted in the CIC Qualifying Termination), (2) an amount equal to 150% of the Executive’s target bonus, plus (3) a prorated
bonus for the year in which such CIC Qualifying Termination occurs (based on the target bonus for such year) (together, such salary and bonus payments the “CIC Severance”). The Executive will receive the CIC Severance in a cash lump-sum in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll procedures which will be made on the first business day occurring after the sixtieth (60th) day
following the Separation, provided that the Release Conditions have been satisfied. 
 (b)    Equity. Each
of Executive’s then-outstanding unvested Equity Awards, including awards that would otherwise vest only upon satisfaction of performance criteria, shall accelerate and become vested and exercisable with respect to 100% of the then unvested
shares subject to all Equity Awards, except to the extent prohibited by Section 409A of the Code. “Equity Awards” means all options to purchase shares of Company common stock, as well as any and all other stock-based awards
granted to the Executive, including but not limited to stock bonus awards, restricted stock, restricted stock units or stock appreciation rights. The accelerated vesting described above shall be effective as of the Separation. In the event an Equity
Award eligible for acceleration is subject to performance metrics or factors, then the vesting acceleration provided for herein shall be based on achievement of such performance award “at-target.”

 (c)    Pay in Lieu of Continued Employee Benefits. If Executive timely elects continued coverage under COBRA,
the Company or its successor shall pay the full amount of Executive’s COBRA premiums on behalf of the Executive for the Executive’s continued coverage under the Company’s health, dental and vision plans, including coverage for the
Executive’s eligible dependents, for the 18 month period following the Executive’s Separation or, if earlier, until Executive is eligible to be covered under another substantially equivalent medical insurance plan by a subsequent employer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that it cannot provide the foregoing subsidy of COBRA coverage without potentially violating or causing the Company to incur additional expense as a result of

  
 3 

 
noncompliance with applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company instead shall provide to Executive a taxable monthly payment in
an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that Executive would be required to pay to continue the group health coverage in effect on the date of the Separation (which amount shall be based on the premium for the first month of COBRA coverage),
which payments shall be made regardless of whether Executive elects COBRA continuation coverage, shall commence on the later of (i) the first day of the month following the month in which Executive experiences a Separation and (ii) the
effective date of the Company’s determination of violation of applicable law, and shall end on the earlier of (x) the effective date on which Executive becomes covered by a health, dental or vision insurance plan of a subsequent employer,
and (y) the last day of the period 18 months after the Separation, provided that, any taxable payments under Section 3(c) will not be paid before the first business day occurring after the sixtieth (60th) day following the Separation and, once they commence, will include any unpaid amounts accrued from the date of Executive’s Separation (to the extent not otherwise satisfied with continuation
coverage). However, if the period comprising the sum of the sixty (60)-day period described in the preceding sentence and the ten (10)-day period described in
Section 6(e)(3) below spans two calendar years, then the payments which constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A will not in any case be paid in the first calendar year. Executive shall have no right to an additional gross-up payment to account for the fact that such COBRA premium amounts are paid on an after-tax basis. 

(d)    General Release. Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, the benefits under Section 3
shall not apply unless the Executive (i) has executed the Release (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A) of all known and unknown claims that the Executive may then have against the Company or persons affiliated with the
Company and such release has become effective and (ii) has agreed not to prosecute any legal action or other proceeding based upon any of such claims. The Release must be in the form prescribed by the Company, without alterations. The Company
will deliver the form of Release to the Executive within thirty (30) days after the Executive’s Separation. The Executive must execute and return the Release within the time period specified in the form, and in all events within sixty
(60) days following the termination event described in Section 3, as applicable. 
 4.    Accrued Compensation and
Benefits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2 or 3 above, in connection with any termination of employment (whether or not a Qualifying Termination or a CIC Qualifying Termination), the Company shall pay Executive’s
earned but unpaid base salary and other vested but unpaid cash entitlements for the period through and including the termination of employment, including unused earned vacation pay and unreimbursed documented business expenses incurred by Executive
through and including the date of termination (collectively “Accrued Compensation and Expenses”), as required by law and the applicable Company plan or policy. In addition, Executive shall be entitled to any other vested benefits
earned by Executive for the period through and including the termination date of Executive’s employment under any other employee benefit plans and arrangements maintained by the Company, in accordance with the terms of such plans and
arrangements, except as modified herein (collectively “Accrued Benefits”). Any Accrued Compensation and Expenses to which the Executive is entitled shall be paid to the Executive in cash as soon as administratively practicable after
the termination and, in any event, no later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after the end of the taxable year of the Executive in which the termination occurs or at
such earlier time as may be required by applicable law. Any Accrued Benefits to which the Executive is entitled shall be paid to the Executive as provided in the relevant plans and arrangements.

the Company, the Executive shall not engage in any other employment, consulting or other business activity (whether full-time or part-time) that would create a conflict of interest with the Company. 

(b)    Cooperation and Non-Disparagement. The Executive agrees that, during
the six (6) month period following Executive’s cessation of employment, the Executive shall cooperate with the Company in every reasonable respect and shall use the Executive’s best efforts to assist the Company with the transition of
Executive’s duties to the Executive’s successor. The Executive further agrees that, during this six-month period, the Executive shall not in any way or by any means disparage the Company, the members
of the Company’s Board of Directors or the Company’s officers and employees.

such event in (i) through (iv) (including any series of such events) also qualifies as a “change in control event” under Code Section 409A. 

  
 5 

 (d)    “CIC Qualifying Termination” means a Separation
(i) within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control as a result of (A) the Company or its successor terminating the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason other than Cause or (B) the Executive

within ninety (90) days of the date such event occurs, which notice states Executive’s intention to resign for a “Good Reason” under this Agreement as a result thereof, (ii) the Company does not effect a cure with respect to
such event within thirty (30) days of receipt of such written notice, and (iii) Executive thereafter resigns and ceases to perform services as an employee of the Company within ten (10) days of the expiration of the Company’s

 6 

 7.    Successors. 

(a)    Company’s Successors. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect and whether
by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or assets, by an agreement in substance and form satisfactory to the Executive, to assume this Agreement and to agree
expressly to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to perform it in the absence of a succession. For all purposes under this Agreement, the term “Company” shall include any
successor to the Company’s business and/or assets or which becomes bound by this Agreement by operation of law. 

(b)    Executive’s Successors. This Agreement and all rights of the Executive hereunder shall inure to the
benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. 

8.    Golden Parachute Taxes. 

(a)    Best After-Tax Result. In the event that any payment or benefit
received or to be received by Executive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (“Payments”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) but for this
subsection (a), be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, any successor provisions, or any comparable federal, state, local or foreign excise tax (“Excise Tax”), then such Payments shall be either
(A) provided in full pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other applicable agreement, or (B) provided as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such Payments being subject to the Excise Tax (“Reduced
Amount”), whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state, local and foreign income, employment and other taxes and the Excise Tax (including, without limitation, any interest or penalties on such
taxes), results in the receipt by Executive, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of payments and benefits provided for hereunder or otherwise, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such
Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax. Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section shall be made by independent tax counsel designated by the Company and reasonably acceptable to
Executive (“Independent Tax Counsel”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required under this Section, Independent Tax Counsel
may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code; provided that Independent Tax Counsel
shall assume that Executive pays all taxes at the highest marginal rate. The Company and Executive shall furnish to Independent Tax Counsel such information and documents as Independent Tax Counsel may reasonably request in order to make a
determination under this Section. The Company shall bear all costs that Independent Tax Counsel may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section. In the event that the above clause (ii)(B) of this Section 8
applies, then based on the information provided to Executive and the Company by Independent Tax Counsel, Executive may, in Executive’s sole discretion and within thirty (30) days of the date on which Executive is provided with the
information prepared by Independent Tax Counsel, determine which and how much of the Payments (including the accelerated vesting of equity compensation awards) to be otherwise received by Executive shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after
such determination 

  
 7 

 
the value (as calculated by Independent Tax Counsel in accordance with the provisions of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code) of the amounts payable or distributable to Executive equals the
Reduced Amount). If the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) determines that any Payment is subject to the Excise Tax, then Section 8(b) hereof shall apply, and the enforcement of Section 8(b) shall be the exclusive remedy
to the Company. 
 (b)    Adjustments. If, notwithstanding any reduction described in Section 8(a) hereof
(or in the absence of any such reduction), the IRS determines that Executive is liable for the Excise Tax as a result of the receipt of one or more Payments, then Executive shall be obligated to surrender or pay back to the Company, within one-hundred twenty (120) days after a final IRS determination, an amount of such payments or benefits equal to the “Repayment Amount.” The Repayment Amount with respect to such Payments shall
be the smallest such amount, if any, as shall be required to be surrendered or paid to the Company so that Executive’s net proceeds with respect to such Payments (after taking into account the payment of the Excise Tax imposed on such Payments)
shall be maximized. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Repayment Amount with respect to such Payments shall be zero (0) if a Repayment Amount of more than zero (0) would not eliminate the Excise Tax imposed on such Payments or if a
Repayment Amount of more than zero would not maximize the net amount received by Executive from the Payments. If the Excise Tax is not eliminated pursuant to this Section 8(b), Executive shall pay the Excise Tax. 

9.    Miscellaneous Provisions. 

(a)    Section 409A. To the extent (i) any payments to which Executive becomes entitled under this Agreement,
or any agreement or plan referenced herein, in connection with Executive’s termination of employment with the Company constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code and (ii) Executive is deemed at the time of
such termination of employment to be a “specified” employee under Section 409A of the Code, then such payment or payments shall not be made or commence until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured
from the Executive’s Separation; or (ii) the date of Executive’s death following such Separation; provided, however, that such deferral shall only be effected to the extent required to avoid adverse tax treatment to Executive,
including (without limitation) the additional twenty percent (20%) tax for which Executive would otherwise be liable under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code in the absence of such deferral. Upon the expiration of the applicable deferral period,
any payments which would have otherwise been made during that period (whether in a single sum or in installments) in the absence of this paragraph shall be paid to Executive or Executive’s beneficiary in one lump sum (without interest). Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, to the extent any expense reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit under this Agreement (or otherwise referenced herein) is determined to be subject to (and
not exempt from) Section 409A of the Code, the amount of any such expenses eligible for reimbursement, or the provision of any in-kind benefit, in one calendar year shall not affect the expenses eligible
for reimbursement or in kind benefits to be provided in any other calendar year, in no event shall any expenses be reimbursed after the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive incurred such expenses, and in no
event shall any right to reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to
its exemption or compliance with Section 409A, the provision will be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder are exempt from Section 409A to the maximum permissible extent, and for any payments where such construction is not

  
 8 

 
tenable, that those payments comply with Section 409A to the maximum permissible extent. To the extent any payment under this Agreement may be classified as a “short-term deferral”
within the meaning of Section 409A, such payment shall be deemed a short-term deferral, even if it may also qualify for an exemption from Section 409A under another provision of Section 409A. Payments pursuant to this Agreement (or
referenced in this Agreement) are intended to constitute separate payments for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the regulations under Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, if the period of time comprising (x) the time to consider and make effective the Release and (y) the time after the expiration or cessation of any cure period or attempt to cure Good Reason, spans two calendar years, then,
any payments that constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A will be made in the second calendar year. 

(b)    Other Arrangements. This Agreement supersedes any and all severance arrangements, vesting acceleration
arrangements, or arrangements regarding a Change in Control under any agreement, severance and salary continuation arrangements, programs and plans which were previously offered by the Company to the Executive, including the Prior Agreement and any
other change in control severance arrangements pursuant to an employment agreement or offer letter, and Executive hereby waives Executive’s rights to such other benefits. In no event shall any individual receive cash severance benefits under
both this Agreement and any other vesting acceleration arrangement, severance pay or salary continuation program, plan or other arrangement with the Company. 

(c)    Dispute Resolution. To ensure rapid and economical resolution of any and all disputes that might arise in
connection with this Agreement, Executive and the Company agree that any and all disputes, claims, and causes of action, in law or equity, arising from or relating to this Agreement or its enforcement, performance, breach, or interpretation, will be
resolved solely and exclusively by final, binding, and confidential arbitration, by a single arbitrator, in Santa Clara County, and conducted by Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) under its
then-existing employment rules and procedures. Nothing in this section, however, is intended to prevent either party from obtaining injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any such arbitration. Each party to
an arbitration or litigation hereunder shall be responsible for the payment of its own attorneys’ fees. 

(d)    Notice. Notices and all other communications contemplated by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or when mailed by U.S. registered or certified mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid or deposited with Federal Express Corporation, with shipping charges prepaid. In the case of
the Executive, mailed notices shall be addressed to the Executive at the home address most recently communicated to the Company in writing. In the case of the Company, mailed notices shall be addressed to its corporate headquarters, and all notices
shall be directed to the attention of its Secretary. 
 (e)    Waiver. No provision of this Agreement shall be
modified, waived or discharged unless the modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive and by an authorized officer of the Company (other than the Executive). No waiver by either party of any breach of, or of
compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement by the other party shall be considered a waiver of any other condition or provision or of the same condition or provision at another time. 

  
 9 

 (f)    Withholding Taxes. All payments made under this Agreement
shall be subject to applicable withholding and income taxes. 
 (g)    Severability. The invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof, which shall remain in full force and effect. 

(h)    No Retention Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Executive any right to continue in
service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or of the Executive, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate the
Executive’s service at any time and for any reason, with or without Cause. 
 (i)    Choice of Law. The
validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California (other than its choice-of-law
provisions).

Company by its duly authorized officer, as of the day and year first above written. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

 EXHIBIT A 

GENERAL RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE 

This General Release of All Claims and Covenant Not to Sue (the “ Release”) is entered into between Cesar Johnston
(“Executive”) and Energous Corporation (the “Company”) (collectively, “the parties”). 
 WHEREAS, on
December 6, 2021, Executive and the Company entered into an Amended & Restated Severance and Change in Control Agreement with the Company (the “Severance Agreement,” to which this Release is attached as Exhibit A); 

WHEREAS, on
                    , Executive’s employment with the Company terminated (the “Separation Date”); 

WHEREAS, this agreement serves as the Release, pursuant to the Severance Agreement; and 

WHEREAS, Executive and the Company desire to mutually, amicably and finally resolve and compromise all issues and claims surrounding
Executive’s employment and separation from employment with the Company; 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration for the mutual
promises and undertakings of the parties as set forth below, Executive and the Company hereby enter into this Release. 

1.    Acknowledgment of Payment of Wages: By the signature below, Executive acknowledges that, on the Separation
Date, the Company paid Executive for all wages, salary, bonuses, commissions, reimbursable expenses, accrued but unused vacation and any similar payments due Executive from the Company as of the Separation Date. By signing below, Executive
acknowledges that the Company does not owe Executive any other amounts, except as may become payable under the Severance Agreement and the Release.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
						
		

1.EFFECTIVENESS; DEFINITIONS.

(c)So long as the Lead Investors collectively have the right to nominate four (4) Directors collectively pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 2.1.2, Permira and CPPIB shall be entitled jointly to nominate one (1) Director.  The Director so nominated may be referred to as the “Lead Investor Director”.

(e)The foregoing Directors nominated by the Lead Investors shall initially be divided into three classes of Directors, each of whose members shall serve for staggered three (3) year terms, subject to the Company Charter as follows:
(i)the Class I Directors next subject to election in 2022 shall initially include Bruce Chizen (as the Lead Investor Director), Elizabeth Rafael and Amit Walia;

With respect to any Director to be nominated by the applicable Lead Investor other than the initial Directors appointed in accordance with Section 2.1.2 or the then-serving Permira Director(s), CPPIB Director(s) or Lead Investor Director, the Lead Investors shall nominate their Director(s) by delivering to the Company a written statement at least ninety (90) days prior to the one (1) year anniversary of the preceding annual meeting (or, in the case of the first annual meeting following the Initial Public Offering, at least ninety (90) days prior to the date of the annual meeting) which sets forth the names, business address, telephone number, facsimile number and e-mail address of such nominee(s) if one of Permira Director(s), CPPIB Director(s) or the Lead Investor Director is subject to election; provided, that if the Lead Investor(s) fails to deliver such written notice, the applicable Lead Investor(s) shall be deemed to have nominated the Director(s) previously nominated (or designated pursuant to this Section 2.1.3) by such Lead Investor(s) who is/are currently serving on the Board.
2.1.4 Right to Delegate; Committees.  The Company shall establish and maintain an audit committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”), a compensation committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”), a nominating and corporate governance committee of the Board (the “Nominating Committee”), and such other Board committees as the Board deems appropriate from time to time or as may be required by applicable law or the Stock Exchange rules.  The committees shall have such duties and responsibilities as are customary for such committees, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Company Charter and the Company Bylaws.
(a)No later than the first anniversary of the effectiveness of the IPO Registration Statement, the Audit Committee shall consist of at least three (3) directors, all of whom are Independent Directors (at least one of whom shall satisfy the “audit committee financial expert” requirements as such term is defined by Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K).
(b)Subject to Section 2.1.4(d), for so long as the Company maintains the Compensation Committee and Nominating Committee, such committees shall each consist of (i) if so requested by Permira, at least one (1) Permira Director (but only if Permira is then entitled to nominate at least one Permira Director) and (ii) if so requested by CPPIB, at least one (1) CPPIB Director (but only if CPPIB is then entitled to nominate at least one (1) CPPIB Director).

As long as CPPIB is then entitled to nominate at least one (1) CPPIB Director, if so requested by CPPIB, a CPPIB Director shall serve as the chair of the Compensation Committee or the Nominating Committee, as determined by the Lead Investors acting jointly.

3

(c)Subject to Section 2.1.4(d), any committee of the Board not specified in Sections 2.1.4(a) or 2.1.4(b) shall consist of at least one (1) Permira Director (but only if Permira is then entitled to nominate at least one (1) Permira Director) and at least one (1) CPPIB Director (but only if CPPIB is then entitled to nominate at least one (1) CPPIB Director) and such additional members as may be determined by the Board; provided, that a special committee may exclude Directors nominated by the Lead Investor(s) if (i) no such Director is eligible to serve on such special committee due to the Stock Exchange rules and requirements or (ii) the primary purpose of such special committee is to review, assess and/or approve a transaction in which the applicable Lead Investor has a material direct or indirect interest and (A) having such Lead Investor’s Director appointed on such special committee would constitute a conflict of interest, or (B) the Board otherwise determines that including such Directors on such committee would be inconsistent with the Directors’ fiduciary duties, in each case as determined by a majority of the Independent Directors in their reasonable good faith discretion.
(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board (upon the recommendation of the Nominating Committee) shall, only to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law or the Stock Exchange rules, modify the composition of any such committee to the extent required to comply with such applicable law or the Stock Exchange rules.  If any vacant Director position on any committee of the Board results from a Lead Investor no longer being entitled to nominate at least one (1) Director or declining to have one of its Director nominees serve on such committee, then such vacant position shall be filled by the Board after considering the recommendation of the Nominating Committee, in accordance with Section 2.1.6.
2.1.5 Removal.  If the number of Directors that the Lead Investor(s) are entitled to nominate is reduced pursuant to the terms of Section 2.1.2, then such Lead Investor shall, if requested by either (i) the other Lead Investor or (ii) a majority of the Independent Directors, promptly cause a number of Directors equal to such reduction to resign from service on the Board and any board or other similar governing body of any Subsidiary of the Company, including all committees thereof.  Each Lead Investor shall cause any Director nominated by the Lead Investor(s) to resign from service on any committee of the Board if, as a result of such Director’s service on such committee, such committee does not satisfy the requirements of applicable law or the Stock Exchange rules for service on such committee.  If any Director does not promptly resign as provided in this Section 2.1.5, the Lead Investors shall act to remove such Director from the Board.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, a Permira Director, a CPPIB Director or a Lead Investor Director shall continue to be deemed as such for as long as he or she is a Director. 
2.1.6 Vacancies.
(a)If any Director previously nominated by the Lead Investor(s) dies or is unwilling or unable to serve as such or is otherwise removed or resigns from office (other than pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2.1.5), then the Lead Investor who previously nominated such Director (or both Lead Investors acting jointly, if such Director is the Lead Investor Director) who was so removed or resigned shall promptly nominate a successor to such Director; but if the Lead Investors(s) are not entitled to fill such vacant Director position(s), such vacant Director position(s) shall be filled by the Board, after considering the recommendation of the Nominating Committee.

4

(b)If, subject to the rights of the Lead Investors under Section 3.4.6, the Board votes to increase the size of the Board, the vacant Director position(s) created as a result of such newly created directorship(s) shall be filled by the Board, after considering the recommendation of the Nominating Committee.
(c)Any other vacant Director position(s) shall be filled by the Board, or the Board shall nominate a replacement Director, in each case, after considering the recommendation of the Nominating Committee, in accordance with the Company Charter.
2.1.7 Subsidiaries.  At the request of any Lead Investor, the Company shall cause the members of the board of directors or other similar governing body, and committees thereof, of any “significant subsidiary” (as defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act) of the Company to comply with this Section 2.1 as if such Subsidiary were the Company.
2.1.8 Expense Reimbursement.  The Company shall pay or reimburse the reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the members of the Board in connection with their service on the Board (and any committee thereof) or in connection with their service on the board of directors or other similar governing body of any Subsidiary of the Company (and any committee thereof).
2.2     Voting Agreement.  Each Equity Investor agrees, at any time it is then entitled to vote for the election of Directors to the Board, to take all necessary action, including casting all votes to which such Equity Investor is entitled in respect of its Shares entitled to vote thereon, whether at any annual or special meeting, by written consent, proxy or otherwise, so as to ensure that the composition of the Board complies with (and includes all of the requisite nominees in accordance with) Section 2.1 and to otherwise effect the intent of this Section 2.2.  Each Equity Investor then entitled to vote for the election of any successor as a Director agrees to take all necessary action, including casting all votes to which such Stockholder is entitled in respect of its Shares entitled to vote thereon, whether at any annual or special meeting, by written consent, proxy or otherwise, so as to ensure that any such successor determined in accordance with Section 2.1.6 is elected to the Board as promptly as practicable.  Each Equity Investor agrees that if, at any time, it is then entitled to vote for the removal of Directors, it will not vote any of its Shares entitled to vote thereon in favor of the removal of any Director who shall have been nominated in accordance with Section 2.1, unless (a) the Lead Investor(s) entitled to nominate such Director shall have consented to such removal in writing, (b) removal is compelled pursuant to Section 2.1.5 or (c) the Person or Persons entitled to nominate any Director pursuant to Section 2.1 shall request in writing the removal, with or without cause, of such Director (in which case, each such Equity Investor shall vote its Shares entitled to vote thereon in favor of such removal).  Each Equity Investor agrees not to grant any proxy to any Person in respect of, and agrees not to enter into a binding agreement with respect to, its Shares that would prohibit such Equity Investor from casting votes in respect of such Shares in accordance with this Section 2.2.
2.3    Controlled Company.
2.3.1 The Company and the Equity Investors acknowledge and agree that, by virtue of the combined voting power of Common Stock held (or controlled) by the Equity Investors representing more than 50% of the total voting power of the Common Stock 

5

outstanding as of the closing date of the IPO, the Company will qualify as of the date of the closing of the IPO as a “controlled company” within the meaning of Stock Exchange rules.

2.3.2    So long as the Company qualifies as a “controlled company” for purposes of Stock Exchange rules, the Company shall elect to be a “controlled company” for purposes of Stock Exchange rules.  If the Company ceases to qualify as a “controlled company” for purposes of Stock Exchange rules, the Equity Investors and the Company shall take whatever action may be reasonably necessary in relation to such party, if any, to cause the Company to comply with Stock Exchange rules as then in effect within the timeframe for compliance available under such rules, including any applicable transition periods.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the joint election of the Lead Investors at any time, the Company shall elect not to be a “controlled” company for purposes of Stock Exchange rules and, if so elected by the Lead Investors acting jointly, the Equity Investors and the Company will take all actions reasonably necessary in relation to such party, if any, to cause the Company to comply with Stock Exchange rules as then in effect within the timeframe for compliance available under such rules, including any applicable transition periods.
2.4    Special Meetings.  If any two (2) Permira Directors (or, in the event Permira is entitled to nominate only one (1) Director, one (1) Permira Director) or any two (2) CPPIB Directors (or, in the event CPPIB is entitled to nominate only one (1) Director, one (1) CPPIB Director) wishes to call a special meeting of the Board, the Company shall take all such action as is necessary to cause the calling of a special meeting.
2.5    Confidentiality.  The Company recognizes that Directors (i) will from time to time receive non-public information concerning the Company, and (ii) may share such information with other individuals employed by the Lead Investor(s) that nominated such Director.  Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2.5, the Company hereby irrevocably consents to such sharing.  Each Lead Investor agrees that it and its employees will keep confidential and not disclose or divulge to any third party any confidential information regarding the Company it receives from the Company or a Director unless such information (x) is known or becomes known to the public in general, (y) is or has been independently developed or conceived by or on behalf of such Lead Investor without use of the Company’s confidential information or (z) is or has been made known or disclosed to such Lead Investor by a third party without, to such Lead Investor’s knowledge, a breach of any obligation of confidentiality such third party may owe to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and each Lead Investor will cause its employees and other Representatives (defined below) to comply with the foregoing obligations; provided, however, that a Lead Investor may disclose confidential information (I) to its direct or indirect parent entities (if any) in connection with monitoring or evaluating such Lead Investor’s investment in the Company or its or their respective attorneys, accountants, consultants, advisors and other professionals who are subject to a duty of confidentiality to the extent necessary or reasonably desirable to obtain their services in connection with monitoring or evaluating the Lead Investor’s direct or indirect investment in the Company (collectively, “Representatives”), (II) in the case of CPPIB, to any holder of Class B-2 common stock of the Company (who has entered into a customary non-disclosure agreement with CPPIB or any of its affiliates) to the extent necessary or reasonably desirable in connection with CPPIB’s or such holder’s investment in the Company; provided, that, CPPIB will cause such holder to comply with the confidentiality obligations set forth herein or (III) as may be required by law or legal, judicial or regulatory process or requested by any regulatory or self-regulatory authority or examiner, provided that such Lead Investor takes reasonable steps to minimize the extent of any required disclosure described in this clause (III).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Directors shall not share information that the Company has designated as attorney-client, work product or similar privilege with respect to which the Company has determined in good faith, based on advice of counsel, that the disclosure of such information to the Lead Investors would be reasonably likely 
6

to jeopardize attorney-client privilege or other similar privilege protected under applicable law (otherwise benefiting the Company or any of its subsidiaries) without the prior consent of the Company.  Each Lead Investor shall be responsible for any breach of the terms of this Section 2.5 by it or its employees or other Representatives.  With respect to each Lead Investor, the consent to share non-public information concerning the Company with individuals employed by, and other Representatives of, such Lead Investor pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall terminate upon the date that such Lead Investor no longer has the right to nominate any member of the Board hereunder, and the confidentiality obligation of such Lead Investor pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall terminate upon the second anniversary of such date (and survive any termination of this Agreement prior to such date).  
												
			
		

3.COVENANTS.
3.1    Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.  The Company will purchase and maintain at its expense insurance in an amount determined in good faith by the Board to be appropriate, on behalf of any person who prior to or after the Effective Time is or was a Director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a Director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company, against any expense, liability or loss asserted against such Person and incurred by such Person in any such capacity, or arising out of such Person’s status as such, subject to customary exclusions.  The Company hereby acknowledges that any Director, officer or other indemnified person covered by any such indemnity insurance policy (any such Person, a “Covered Indemnitee”) may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by any of the Lead Investors and certain of their respective Affiliates (collectively, the “Fund Indemnitors”).  The Company hereby agrees that (a) the Company shall be the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to a Covered Indemnitee shall be primary and any obligation of any Fund Indemnitor to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Covered Indemnitee shall be secondary) and (b) the Company irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof, except in the case of conduct by a Covered Indemnitee where such Covered Indemnitee is not otherwise entitled to indemnification from the Company under Section 3.3 or any other indemnification agreement with the Company.  The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Fund Indemnitors on behalf of a Covered Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which such Covered Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Fund Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or shall be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Covered Indemnitee against the Company.  The provisions of this Section 3.1 will survive any termination of this Agreement.  Any Fund Indemnitor or insurer thereof not a party to this Agreement is an express third party beneficiary of this Section 3.1, and is entitled to enforce this Section 3.1 according to its terms to the same extent as if such Fund Indemnitor or insurer thereof were a party hereto.

7

3.2    Indemnification Agreements.

If and to the extent that the foregoing indemnification is unavailable or unenforceable for any reason, the Company hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.  The rights of any Covered Person to indemnification and contribution hereunder will be in addition to any other rights any such Person may have under any other agreement or instrument to which such Covered Person is or becomes a party (including for the avoidance of doubt, any rights under Section 3.1) or is otherwise becomes the beneficiary or under law or regulation or under the organizational documents of the Company or, any of its Subsidiaries and shall extend to such Covered Person’s successors and assigns.  The Company shall not be liable for amounts paid in settlement of any action effected without its written consent, but if any action is settled with written consent of the Company, or if there is a final judgment against a Covered Person in any such action, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Covered Person to the extent provided above from and against any Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment.  In addition, the Company shall not be required to indemnify a Covered Person for any disgorgement of profits made from the purchase or sale by such Covered Person of securities of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or to indemnify or advance expenses to a Covered Person in any circumstance where such indemnification has been determined to be prohibited by law by a final (not interlocutory) judgment or other adjudication of a court or arbitration or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as to which there is no further right or option of appeal or the time within which an appeal must be filed has expired without such filing.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Covered Persons shall be a third-party beneficiary of the rights conferred to such Covered Persons in this Section 3.3.  This Section 3.3 shall survive any termination of this Agreement in respect of any Third-Party Claim to the extent related to or arising from any event occurring prior to termination of this Agreement.
