Resignation of President and Chief Executive Officer
On April 10, 2026, R. Chad Prashad informed World Acceptance Corporation (the “Company”) of his resignation from his positions as President and Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, effective April 10, 2026, in order to pursue other opportunities. Mr. Prashad’s resignation from the Board is not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. The Company and Mr. Prashad have agreed that Mr. Prashad’s resignation will be treated as a termination by the Company without cause (other than in connection with a change in control) for all purposes under his employment agreement and related equity award agreements with the Company.
In connection with his departure from the Company, Mr. Prashad and the Company entered into a separation agreement and general release (the “Separation Agreement”) with an effective separation date of April 10, 2026 (the “separation date”). Consistent with the requirements of Mr. Prashad’s employment agreement for a termination by the Company without cause and the Company’s customary practices, under the Separation Agreement Mr. Prashad is entitled to receive the following: (i) a lump sum payment of his accrued base salary, vacation pay, and expenses, as well as vested benefits under any Company benefit plans or programs, through the separation date; (ii) severance pay in the amount of $1,260,000, payable over 24 months; (iii) accelerated vesting of his outstanding stock options and equity incentive awards that are subject solely to time-based vesting; (iv) payments under the Company’s Supplemental Income Plan; (v) a lump sum payment equal to the total premiums he would be expected to pay for eighteen (18) months of COBRA coverage and (vi) title to his Company car and a mobile phone. Stock options (both time-based and performance-based) that are vested on Mr. Prashad’s separation date will be exercisable for one year following the separation date, or until their expiration date if shorter.
The Separation Agreement includes customary waiver and release provisions in favor of the Company, as well as non-competition, confidentiality, and non-disparagement covenants. In addition, certain payments and benefits due to Mr. Prashad under the Separation Agreement are subject to recovery by the Company in accordance with the Company’s compensation Clawback Policy and also upon the occurrence of certain specified events.
The foregoing description of the Separation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

CHAD PRASHAD, an individual and resident of the State of South Carolina (“Executive”). The Company and Executive are collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party.”
Reference is made to that certain Employment Agreement between the Company and Executive effective as of April 1, 2019 (the “Employment Agreement”).
In consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Separation from Company; Resignation from Offices and Directorships. The Parties agree that Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate effective April 10, 2026 (the “Separation Date”). Simultaneously with the termination of Executive’s employment on the Separation Date, Executive shall and does hereby resign from any and all officer and director positions with the Company and any of its subsidiaries and affiliates, including without limitation from Executive’s position as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, from Executive’s position as an officer and member of any board of directors or similar governing body of any entity in which the Company holds an equity interest, and from Executive’s position as an officer and member of any board of directors or similar governing body of which Executive serves as a designee or other representative of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. Executive agrees to promptly sign all appropriate documentation, if any, prepared by the Company to facilitate or effectuate Executive’s resignations from any such offices, directorships or other positions.
2. Accrued Obligations and Vested Benefits. Executive shall be paid all earned salary through the Separation Date, less all applicable deductions and taxes under federal, state and local law, and other deductions which are currently being made. Executive shall be paid for unused vacation in accordance with Company policy. All reasonable and approved expenses incurred through the Separation Date shall be reimbursed in the ordinary course in accordance with Company policy, provided that all such expenses are submitted for reimbursement within twenty (20) days following the Separation Date. Executive’s health insurance benefits shall end in accordance with the terms of the applicable benefit plans, except as may be continued at Executive’s election under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”). Executive’s vested and unvested stock options and other equity awards (if any) shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Executive’s Employment Agreement and the Company’s stock option and other equity plans (if any) and subject to the terms and conditions of any related agreements in connection with such options or other equity awards. All other employee benefits, privileges and perquisites shall end as of the Separation Date, except as otherwise set forth in this Separation Agreement or expressly provided under the terms of the applicable benefit plans or equity award documents.
3. Separation Payments and Benefits. In consideration of Executive’s promises in this Agreement, and conditioned upon (1) Executive executing and delivering this Agreement within the time frame set forth in Section 13(c), (2) Executive not revoking this Agreement as provided in Section 13(c), and (3) Executive continuing compliance with his covenants and obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation Executive’s continuing obligations referenced herein, the Company shall provide Executive with the following separation payments and benefits:
(a) The Company shall pay to Executive certain separation payments (the “Separation Payments”) in the total amount of $1,260,000.

(b) The Company shall also pay to Executive, in a single lump sum, a cash payment in the amount of $14,780.52 (the “COBRA Payment”), representing eighteen (18) months of continuation health coverage under COBRA. The COBRA Payment shall be issued on the thirtieth (30th) day following the Separation Date, assuming Executive does not revoke this Agreement and otherwise meets the conditions set forth herein.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) nothing in this Agreement, the Employment Agreement, any undertaking, or any other agreement between the Executive and the Company shall be construed to prohibit Executive from filing a charge with, reporting possible violations of law or regulation to, or participating, communicating, or cooperating with any governmental agency or entity (including but not limited to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Congress, or any agency Inspector General) in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any government agency or entity, including providing documents or other information, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower, anti-discrimination, or anti-retaliation provisions of federal, state or local law or regulation; (ii) Executive does not need the prior authorization of the Company to take any action described in (i), and Executive is not required to notify the Company that he has taken any action described in (i); and (iii) this Agreement does not limit Executive’s right to receive an award for providing information relating to a possible securities law violation to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (x) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation or law; or (y) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Additionally, an individual suing an employer for retaliation based on the reporting of a suspected violation of law may disclose a trade secret to his or his attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, so long as any document containing the trade secret is filed under seal and the individual does not disclose the trade secret except pursuant to court order. Except as provided above, Executive knowingly and intentionally waives and releases any right to monetary relief or other individual specific remedy that might be sought on Executive’s behalf by any other person, entity, local, state or federal government or agency thereof, including specifically the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, U.S. Department of Labor, or any state agency, and to the extent Executive receives any personal or monetary relief in connection with any such charge, investigation or proceeding, the Company shall be entitled to an offset for Separation Benefits.
(e) By signing this Agreement, Executive acknowledges that other than as provided in this Agreement, Executive has received all entitlement due from the Company relating to Executive’s employment with the Company, including but not limited to all wages, sick pay, vacation pay, bonus and incentive compensation, overtime pay, and any paid and unpaid personal leave for which Executive is eligible and entitled.
5. Representations and Warranties. Executive represents and warrants that Executive has no known workplace injuries or occupational diseases which would be compensable under the applicable state’s workers’ compensation system, that Executive has been provided and/or has not been denied or retaliated against for requesting or taking any leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act or any other federal, state, or local law, and that Executive has not engaged in any unlawful or fraudulent conduct in connection with Executive’s employment or duties with the Company. Executive further represents and warrants that Executive has not instituted any legal proceeding or lawsuit of any kind against the Company, and that Executive has not assigned any rights or interests to any claims released or waived in this Agreement to any other person or party. Executive further represents and warrants that Executive has conducted himself at all times in good faith; that (a) when acting in his official capacity for the Company, he reasonably believed that Executive’s conduct was in the best interests of the Company, and (b) at all other times he reasonably believed his conduct was at least not opposed to the Company’s best interest; and that he had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
6. Restrictive Covenants. Executive acknowledges and agrees that, in addition to the provisions of this Agreement, Executive is subject to certain post-employment covenants and restrictions contained in Section X of the Employment Agreement. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that all post-employment covenants and restrictions contained in Section X of the Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and are incorporated by reference in this Agreement, and that Executive shall remain subject to such post-employment covenants and restrictions regardless of whether Executive signs or revokes this Agreement.

7. Property of Company. Executive agrees that he shall promptly return to the Company all of the Company’s property, including but not limited to all documents, materials, confidential information, keys, access cards, laptop computers, flash drives and memory devices, phones and mobile devices, electronically-stored information, and any other Company property in Executive’s possession or control, including all copies and summaries thereof. In addition, Executive represents and warrants that there are no outstanding returnable advances and/or loans that have been made to Executive by the Company prior to the Separation Date. Furthermore, to the extent that Executive made use of Executive’s own personal computing devices (including any mobile device or phone, tablet, laptop, flash drives, and other devices and media) during Executive’s employment, Executive agrees to deliver such personal computing devices to the Company for review and permit the Company to copy all confidential and/or proprietary information of the Company from such personal computing devices and to permanently remove such information or take such other action as the Company deems necessary in its sole discretion, subject to any litigation hold then in effect. Executive further agrees (a) to notify the Company in writing of any and all confidential and/or proprietary information of the Company contained in any personal email, cloud or other storage device, (b) to permit the Company to copy all such confidential and/or proprietary information of the Company from same, and (c) thereafter, to delete Executive’s copies of such confidential and/or proprietary information of the Company therefrom, subject to any litigation hold then in effect.
8. Non-Disparagement. Executive agrees not to, whether in writing or orally, malign, denigrate or disparage the Company or any of the other Released Parties, with respect to any of their respective past or present activities, or otherwise publish (whether in writing or orally) statements that tend to portray any of the aforementioned parties in an unfavorable light, subject to Executive’s rights to make truthful statements to government agencies as provided in Section 4(d). Likewise, the Company agrees that from and after the date hereof, that it shall not cause or permit any authorized representative of the Company, whether in writing or orally, to malign, denigrate or disparage Executive with respect to any of Executive’s past or present activities, or otherwise publish (whether in writing or orally) internal or external statements or communications that tend to portray Executive in an unfavorable light, and upon notice in the event of any such disparagement by any authorized representative of the Company, the Company shall direct such representative to cease any such disparagement, subject to the Company’s right to make truthful statements to government agencies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit Executive or the Company from (a) responding publicly to incorrect, disparaging or derogatory public statements to the extent reasonably necessary to correct or refute such public statement or (b) making any truthful statement to the extent (i) necessary with respect to any litigation, arbitration or mediation involving this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the enforcement of this Agreement or (ii) required by law or by any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative or legislative body (including any committee thereof) with apparent jurisdiction over Executive or the Company. Nothing in this Agreement prohibits or restricts any statement by the Company in reports, filings or information filed with or furnished or otherwise provided to (or published pursuant to rule or regulation of) the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or other regulators of the Company (including self-regulatory organizations), any of which may be publicly available (including on the Company’s website). Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement may be disclosed in the Company’s filings with the SEC.
5
9. Clawback. In the event (a) Executive files any claim, suit or legal proceeding which is released by Executive pursuant to Section 4, or (b) the Company determines that Executive has breached or otherwise failed to comply with Sections 6 and/or 10 of this Agreement and Executive has not remedied such breach or failure within five (5) days of receipt of written notice from the Company of its determination that Executive has breached or otherwise failed to comply with any of such Sections, or (c) Executive is convicted of or pleads guilty or nolo contendere to any felony or any crime involving moral turpitude which conviction or plea relates to or arises from Executive’s service with the Company, the Company may terminate all payments and benefits to Executive otherwise due pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement, and require Executive, no later than ten (10) days after receipt of a written request for repayment from the Company, to repay to the Company all payments made and to return or reimburse the Company for all awards issued and benefits provided to Executive pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement. Executive acknowledges and agrees that all compensation recovery, forfeiture and clawback related provisions in any policy, plan, program, award or award notice of the Company and which apply to Executive or any agreement between Company and Executive shall continue in full force and effect after the Separation Date, including to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law as such may be adopted or modified after the Separation Date. To the extent permitted by law, the Separation Payments may be reduced to enforce any repayment obligation of Executive to the Company.
10. Cooperation. Following the Separation Date, Executive agrees to cooperate fully with the Company in the defense, prosecution, or conduct of any claims, actions, investigations, or reviews now in existence or which may be initiated in the future against, involving, or on behalf of the Company which relate to events or occurrences that transpired while Executive was employed by the Company (“Matters”). Executive’s cooperation in connection with such Matters shall include, but not be limited to, being available for telephone conferences with outside counsel and/or personnel of the Company, being available for interviews, depositions and/or to act as a witness on behalf of the Company, if reasonably requested. The Company shall pay all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with a request made by the Company pursuant to this Section. Subject to Section 4(d), Executive further agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Company or its attorneys, Executive shall not communicate with any person who is pursuing, or may be pursuing, any claims against the Company, or any attorneys for such persons, about such claims or potential claims, and Executive shall promptly inform the Company or its counsel of any efforts by such persons or their attorneys to speak with Executive.
11. Section 409 Compliance. It is intended that the Separation Benefits shall be exempt from Internal Revenue Code Section 409A (“Section 409A”) due to the “short-term deferral” exception set forth in Treasury Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), or such other exemption as may apply. Each payment or benefit payable under this Agreement is intended to constitute separate payments for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). In the event that any of the Separation Benefits are considered nonqualified deferred compensation as defined in Section 409A and such amounts are payable during a period in which Executive is a “Specified Employee” under Section 409A and the 6-month mandatory delay applies, then, amounts that would otherwise be payable during the six-month period immediately follow the Separation Date shall be accumulated through and paid on the first day of the seventh month following the Separation Date (or if Executive dies during such period, within 30 days after Executive’s death). The normal payment or distribution schedule for any remaining payments or distributions shall resume at the end of the six-month period.

Executive agrees that no Company representative has made any representation to Executive relating to this Agreement which is not contained in the express terms of this Agreement.

The Executive will be entitled to participate in all compensation, health, welfare, perquisite and other employee benefit plans and programs for which similarly situated salaried employees of the Company are generally eligible under any plan or program now or later established by the Company, on the same terms and conditions as such plans and programs are provided to other similarly situated salaried employees. All Company coverage, benefits and plans are subject to the right of the Company to amend or terminate such coverage, benefits and plans from time to time, and subject to the specific eligibility and participation requirements of each such plan. Such benefits will not include participation in the Supplemental Income Plan or provision of a Company vehicle.

SECTION V
BUSINESS EXPENSES
The Company will reimburse the Executive, according to Company policy, for all reasonable travel, entertainment, business and other expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with the performance of the Executive’s duties and obligations under this Agreement.
SECTION VI
DISABILITY
The Company and the Executive acknowledge that regular attendance, in-person management and leadership, the ability to travel and performance of duties commensurate with the Executive’s office are essential functions of the Executive’s position, subject to any reasonable accommodations required by law. Therefore, the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment if the Executive experiences a Disability during the Period of Employment. In the event of a termination of Employment due to Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date set forth in a written notice to the Executive. In the event the Company terminates the employment of the Executive pursuant to this Section VI, the Company will continue to pay the Executive her Base Salary through the end of the Period of Employment (“Disability Severance”).
“Disability,” as used herein, shall mean the existence of either (i) a physical or mental impairment that prevents the Executive, with or without reasonable accommodation, from performing for a period of 90 days within the Period of Employment any of the essential functions of the Executive’s position or (ii) any impairment that qualifies as a disability under the terms of any group long-term disability plan of which the Executive is a participant.
SECTION VII
DEATH
In the event of the death of the Executive during the Period of Employment, the Date of Termination shall be the date of the Executive’s death. The Company’s obligation to make payments under this Agreement shall cease as of the date of death, except for (i) Accrued Compensation (as defined in Section 8.1.1); and (ii) vested amounts owed under the Company’s benefit plans. The Accrued Compensation shall be paid thirty (30) days from the Date of Termination. The Executive’s designated beneficiary will be entitled to receive the proceeds of any life or other insurance or other death benefit programs provided in this Agreement, according to the terms and conditions of the applicable plans.
SECTION VIII
EFFECT OF OTHER TERMINATIONS OF EMPLOYMENT
Except as otherwise set forth herein:
8.1. If the Executive’s employment terminates due to a Without Cause Termination (as such terms are hereafter defined in this Agreement), the Company will pay the Executive, or in the event of the Executive’s death, the Executive’s beneficiary or beneficiaries:
8.1.1. in a lump sum in cash thirty (30) days after the Date of Termination, the sum of (a) the Executive’s accrued Base Salary then in effect and any accrued vacation pay through the Date of Termination and (b) the Executive’s business expenses that have not been reimbursed by the Company as of the Date of Termination that were incurred by the Executive prior to the Date of Termination in accordance with applicable Company policy and Section V herein (the “Accrued Compensation”); and
8.1.2. severance payments in the form of her continued Base Salary through the end of the first anniversary of the Effective Date in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll policies, but not less frequently than once per calendar month; and
8.1.3. a single lump sum cash payment equal to the total premiums the Executive would be required to pay for COBRA continuation coverage under the Company’s health benefit plans through the end of the first anniversary of the Effective Date, determined using the COBRA premium rate in effect for the level of coverage that the Executive has in place immediately prior to the Date of Termination (the “COBRA Payment”). The Executive shall not be required to purchase COBRA continuation coverage in order to receive the COBRA Payment, nor shall the Executive be required to apply the COBRA Payment towards any payment of applicable premiums for COBRA continuation coverage. The payment shall be made on the thirtieth (30th) day following the Date of Termination.
8.2. If the Executive’s employment terminates due to a Termination for Cause, as hereinafter defined, the Company will pay the Executive the Accrued Compensation defined in Section 8.1.1 within the time period described therein. No other payments will be made and the Company will not be obligated to provide any other benefits to or on behalf of the Executive. If the Company terminates the Executive for Cause and it is later determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment that the Company did not have Cause, the Executive’s termination shall be construed as being Without Cause, and the Executive’s remedies shall be limited to the payments and benefits set forth in Section 8.1 herein.
8.3. If the Executive quits, abandons employment or otherwise resigns from employment with the Company during the Period of Employment, the Company will pay the Accrued Compensation defined in Section 8.l.1 within the time period described therein. No other payments will be made and the Company will not be obligated to provide any other benefits to or on behalf of the Executive, except any benefits payable under plans or programs to the extent then vested and in accordance with the terms of such other plans or programs.
8.4. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, upon termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder, the Company’s obligation to make any payments or provide any compensation benefits under this Agreement will cease.
The Company acknowledges that the amounts and benefits afforded to the Executive pursuant to Sections VI, VII and VIII shall not be treated as damages but as severance compensation and benefits to which the Executive is entitled by reason of termination of the Executive’s employment for the reasons set forth above. Accordingly, the Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment or benefits provided for in such Sections by seeking employment or otherwise, nor (other than as provided in Section X) shall the Company be entitled to set off against the amounts and benefits payable to the Executive hereunder any amounts or benefits earned by the Executive in other employment after the Date of Termination or any amounts or benefits that might have been earned by the Executive in other employment had she sought such other employment.
SECTION IX
DEFINITIONS
For this Agreement, the following terms have the following meanings:
9.1. “Termination for Cause” means termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company due to (i) the Executive’s failure to substantially perform the Executive’s duties hereunder (other than as a result of death or Disability or absence due to temporary illness or incapacity protected by law); (ii) the Executive’s dishonesty in the performance of the Executive’s duties (other than de minimis acts or omissions); (iii) the Executive’s indictment, conviction or entering of a plea of any type (including, but not limited to, a plea of nolo contendere) for a crime constituting a felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; (iv) the Executive’s willful malfeasance or willful misconduct in connection with the performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder (other than de minimis acts or omissions); (v) any illicit or unauthorized act or omission which is materially injurious to the financial condition or business reputation of the Company; (vi) the Executive’s breach of any of the Executive’s duties and obligations set forth in Section X; (vii) conduct by the Executive which violates the Company’s then existing internal policies or procedures, including, but not limited to, the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; (viii) the Executive’s knowing and intentional failure to comply with applicable laws; (ix) the Executive’s falsification of Company records or engaging in theft, fraud, embezzlement or other conduct which is detrimental to the business, reputation, character or standing of the Company or any of its Affiliates; (x) the Executive’s failure to comply with reasonable written directives of the Board; (xi) the Executive’s failure to reasonably cooperate with any investigation authorized by the Board; or (xii) the Executive’s engaging in any conduct that is or could be materially damaging to the Company or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company pursuant to clauses (i), (vi), (vii) or (x) will not constitute a “Termination for Cause” unless the Executive has received written notice from the Company stating the nature of such breach and affording the Executive an opportunity to correct fully the act(s) or omission(s), if such breach is capable of correction, described in such notice within ten (10) days following the Executive’s receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) no conduct shall be considered “willful” or “intentional” if the Executive acted in good faith and in a manner she reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company and had no reasonable cause to believe that the Executive’s conduct was in violation of the relevant policy, directive, regulation or law; and (b) any act or failure to act that is based upon a directive of the Board, or the advice of counsel for the Company, shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company.
9.2. “Without Cause Termination” means termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company other than due to death or Disability and other than Termination for Cause. The Date of Termination for a Without Cause Termination shall be the effective date of termination of employment as set forth in a written notice to the Executive.
SECTION X
OTHER DUTIES AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE EXECUTIVE DURING AND
AFTER THE PERIOD OF EMPLOYMENT
10.1. During the Period of Employment, the Executive will comply with all Company policies (including, but not limited to, the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics) and with all applicable laws.
10.2. For a period not to exceed two (2) years following the Date of Termination, the Executive will cooperate with and provide assistance to the Company and its legal counsel in connection with any litigation (including arbitration or administrative hearings) or investigation affecting the Company, in which, in the reasonable judgment of the Company’s counsel, the Executive’s assistance or cooperation is needed or desirable. The Executive shall, when requested by the Company, provide testimony or other assistance and shall travel at the Company’s request in order to fulfill this obligation; provided, however, that, in connection with such litigation or investigation, the Company shall reasonably accommodate the Executive’s schedule, shall provide the Executive with reasonable notice in advance of the times in which the Executive’s cooperation or assistance is requested, and shall reimburse the Executive for any reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such matters unless prohibited by law or ethical rule. Unless the Company has paid the Executive severance benefits pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall compensate the Executive for the Executive’s time at customary and prevailing rates, unless prohibited by law or ethical rule.
10.3. The Executive agrees to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information, as defined below, at all times during and after the Executive’s employment with the Company and will not, at any time (a) use any Confidential Information for the Executive’s own benefit or for the benefit of any other person, firm or entity; (b) reveal, publish or disclose any Confidential Information to any person other than authorized representatives of the Company; or (c) remove or aid in the removal from the Company’s premises, retain, transmit, download or save any copy or copies of Confidential Information in either written, digital, electronic, voice or other electronic media data form, except (i) in the performance of the Executive’s authorized duties in the furtherance of the business of the Company, (ii) with the prior written consent of the Board, or (iii) as necessary to comply with law. “Confidential Information” means any nonpublic information used in the Company’s business and from which the Company derives commercial value from not being generally known to the public or industry, including without limitation, information marked or designated as confidential, privileged or secret; financial information (including budgets, forecasting, projections, costs, margins and pricing); employee information (including payroll and benefits information and personnel records); marketing plans, proposals and data; customer information; regulated or private information concerning employees, customers or consumers, including, without limitation, financial, account, tax or health information; trade secrets; inventions; intellectual property; attorney-client privileged information and work product; patents; copyrights and trademarks; computerized information or data (including programs, networks, databases, information technology architecture and infrastructure, hardware and software) (all or any portion of which, and the materials on which they are used, whether or not specifically labeled or identified as “confidential”); and information received from third parties subject to a duty on the Company’s or its Affiliates’ part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. The Executive’s obligations under this Section 10.3 shall survive the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason for a period of two (2) years following the Date of Termination with respect to Confidential Information that does not rise to the level of a trade secret under applicable law, and, with respect to Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret under applicable law, the Executive’s obligations shall continue for so long as the information constitutes a trade secret under applicable law. Information of the Company that constitutes attorney-client privileged information or information protected by the work product doctrine may not be disclosed at any time without the Company’s prior written consent.
10.4. Nothing herein shall prevent the Executive from cooperating with any investigation or inquiry conducted by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission regarding any employment practice or policy of the Company. In addition, pursuant to Section 7 of the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (which added 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b)), the Executive acknowledges that she shall not have criminal or civil liability under any federal or state trade secret law for, and nothing herein prohibits, the disclosure of a trade secret or Confidential Information that (a) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by such Section. Further, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) nothing in this Agreement, including but not limited to any release, or other agreement prohibits the Executive from reporting violations of law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Congress and any agency Inspector General (the “Government Agencies”), or communicating with Government Agencies or otherwise participating in any investigation or proceedings that may be conducted by Government Agencies, including providing documents or other information; (ii) the Executive does not need the prior authorization of the Company to take any action described in (i), and the Executive is not required to notify the Company that she has taken any action described in (i); and (iii) neither this Agreement nor any release limits the Executive’s right to receive an award for providing information relating to a possible securities law violation to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
10.5. If the Company in good faith believes that the Executive has breached the Executive’s obligations described in Section X, the Company may withhold future payments due to the Executive under this Agreement until a court of competent jurisdiction has determined whether the Executive has breached such obligations. If a court of competent jurisdiction, in a final, non-appealable judgment, determines that the Executive has not breached such provisions, the Company shall within ten (10) business days of such determination pay to the Executive the amount of such withheld payments (less any damage award in favor of the Company, if applicable) plus interest accruing from the time each payment was due to the Executive at the legal pre-judgment interest rate. If following the Date of Termination the Company fails without good faith, reasonable justification to make a payment or provide a benefit to the Executive when due, the Company shall have ten (10) days after receiving written notice from the Executive to cure such failure. If the Company does not cure such failure within such 10-day period, the Executive shall no longer be bound by the obligations described in this Section X.
10.6. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, at any time during or after the Period of Employment (regardless of whether the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company or by the Executive and whether the Executive’s employment is terminated due to a Termination for Cause or a Without Cause Termination), (i) the Executive files any claim, suit or legal proceeding which has been released by the Executive pursuant to Section XVI, or (ii) the Executive has breached or otherwise failed to comply with the covenants contained in Sections 10.1, 10.2, or 10.3 of this Agreement and, if such breach or failure is capable of being remedied, the Executive has not remedied such breach or failure to the satisfaction of the Company within ten (10) days of receipt of written notice from the Company of its determination that the Executive has breached or otherwise failed to comply with any of such Sections, or (iii) the Executive materially violates any of the Company’s policies, as determined by the Board in its discretion, or (iv) the Executive violates any federal, state or other law, rule or regulation which is detrimental to the business, reputation, character or standing of the Company and/or any of its Affiliates, as determined by the Board in its discretion, or (v) the Executive is indicted or convicted of, or enters a plea of any type (including, but not limited to, a plea of nolo contendere) for, a crime constituting a felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, which involves or relates in any way to the Executive’s actions or omissions during the Period of Employment and/or to events affecting the Company (and/or any of its Affiliates) that occur during the Period of Employment, or (vi) the Executive falsifies Company records or engages in theft, fraud, embezzlement or other criminal conduct detrimental to the business, reputation, character or standing of the Company and/or any of its Affiliates, as determined by the Board in its discretion, or (vii) the Executive commits any illicit or unauthorized act or omission which is detrimental to the business, reputation, character or standing of the Company and/or any of its Affiliates, as determined by the Board in its discretion, then, unless the Board determines otherwise, and in addition to any other remedy available to the Company (on a non-exclusive basis): (a) any Equity Awards shall immediately be terminated and forfeited in their entirety; (b) any shares of stock subject to the Equity Awards (whether vested or unvested) shall immediately be forfeited and returned to the Company (without the payment by the Company of any consideration for such shares); (c) all payments and benefits to the Executive otherwise due pursuant to Section IV or Section VIII of this Agreement shall immediately terminate; and (d) no later than ten (10) days after receipt of a written request for repayment from the Company, the Executive shall repay to the Company all payments made and to return or reimburse the Company for all awards or shares issued and benefits provided to the Executive pursuant to Section IV and/or VIII of this Agreement. To the extent permitted by law, the payments otherwise payable pursuant to Section IV and/or VIII of the Agreement may be reduced to enforce any repayment obligation of Executive to the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, in each and every instance the Board shall have the sole and absolute discretion to determine if any of the activities described in clauses (i) through (vii) of this Section 10.6 has occurred.
10.7. The parties desire that the provisions of Section X be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in the jurisdictions in which enforcement is sought, and agree that the Company may specifically enforce the terms hereof by obtaining injunctive relief without the necessity of posting bond or damages as permitted by law. If any portion of Section X is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalid or unenforceable terms shall be redefined or a new enforceable term provided, such that the intent of the Company and the Executive in agreeing to the provisions hereof will not be impaired and the provision in question shall be enforceable to the fullest extent of the applicable laws.
10.8 Amounts payable to Executive hereunder shall be subject to any clawback, forfeiture, recoupment or similar provisions that may apply under applicable laws, stock exchange listing standards or written Company policies that are applicable to similarly situated senior executives.
SECTION XI
WITHHOLDING TAXES; TAX MATTERS
The Company may directly or indirectly withhold from any payments under this Agreement amounts authorized by the Executive and all federal, state, local or other taxes that are required to be withheld pursuant to any law or governmental regulation. The Executive acknowledges that the Company has made no representation or warranty regarding the tax consequences associated with the benefits described in the Agreement, that the Executive agrees to pay any federal, state, local or other taxes for which she may be personally liable as a result of the benefits conferred under the Agreement, and that the Company has no obligation to achieve any certain tax results for the Executive.
SECTION XII
EFFECT OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS
This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the Company and the Executive with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreement, statements or understanding related to the subject matter hereof, including, but not limited to, any employment or similar agreement between the Company and the Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any payments, benefits, or entitlements are owed to the Executive pursuant to any prior employment agreement between the Company and the Executive (the “Prior Agreement Obligations”), such Prior Agreement Obligations shall not be deemed, waived, superseded or extinguished by this Agreement and the Company shall continue to honor and satisfy all such Prior Agreement Obligations in accordance with their terms.
SECTION XIII
MODIFICATION; ASSIGNMENT
This Agreement may not be modified or amended except in writing signed by both parties. No term or condition of this Agreement will be deemed to have been waived except in writing by the party charged with waiver. A waiver shall operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and will not constitute a waiver for the future or act on anything other than that which is specifically waived. Neither the Agreement nor any right or interest under the Agreement shall be assignable by the Executive, the Executive’s beneficiaries or the Executive’s legal representatives without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, however, that nothing in this Section XIII shall preclude (a) the Executive from designating a beneficiary to receive any benefits payable hereunder upon the Executive’s death or (b) the executors, administrators or other legal representatives of the Executive or the Executive’s estate from assigning any rights hereunder to the person or persons entitled thereto. The Company may assign the Agreement without the consent of the Executive or any other person.
SECTION XIV
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, to the extent applicable, this Agreement is intended to comply with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and the regulations (or similar guidance) thereunder. To the extent any provision of this Agreement is contrary to or fails to address the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, this Agreement shall be construed and administered as necessary to comply with such requirements. If the Executive is considered a “specified employee” (as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and related Treasury Regulations) at the time of any “separation from service” (as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and related Treasury Regulations) under Section 8.1 of this Agreement, a portion of the amount payable to the Executive under Section 8.1 shall be delayed for six (6) months following the Executive’s Date of Termination to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A or an exemption therefrom.
