ARTICLE I

Employment

SECTION 1.01 Term. The term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and, unless Employer and Executive otherwise agree in writing, shall continue until it terminates pursuant to Article IV. Executive’s employment with Employer will be “at will” and, subject to the provisions of Article IV, Executive’s employment under this Agreement may be terminated by either party at any time and for any reason. Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall terminate automatically upon Executive’s death.

SECTION 1.02 Position and Duties. As of the commencement of the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement in accordance with Section 1.01, Executive served as Chief Financial Officer of Employer and Intermex Wire Transfer LLC (“Intermex LLC”) reporting to the Chief Executive Officer of Employer or such other person or persons as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors of Employer (the “Board”). Executive shall, during the term of employment under this Agreement, perform the services and duties as currently performed by him as Chief Financial Officer of Employer and Intermex LLC plus such other services and duties as determined from time to time by the Board or such other person or persons as may be designated from time to time by the Board. Executive shall perform such services and duties in accordance with the policies, practices and bylaws of Employer. If requested, Executive shall also serve as a member of the Board and its committees, and the board of directors or other managing body of Employer’s affiliates and their committees, without additional compensation.

SECTION 1.03 Time and Effort. Executive shall serve Employer and Intermex LLC faithfully, loyally, honestly and to the best of Executive’s ability. Executive shall devote all Executive’s business time and best efforts to the performance of Executive’s duties on behalf of Employer and Intermex LLC.

ARTICLE II

Compensation

SECTION 2.01 Base Salary. During the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement, Employer shall, as compensation for the obligations set forth herein and for all services rendered by Executive in any capacity during Executive’s employment under this Agreement, including services as an officer, employee, director or member of any governing body, or committee thereof, of Employer, Intermex LLC or any of their affiliates, pay Executive a base salary (herein “Base Salary”) at the annual rate of $243,258.19 per year, payable in accordance with Employer’s standard payroll practices as in effect from time to time. Beginning in 2017, Executive’s Base Salary shall be reviewed annually in January, and may be entitled to an increase, as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Board. In the event that sickness or disability payments under any insurance programs of Employer or Intermex LLC or otherwise shall become payable to Executive in respect of any period of Executive’s employment under this Agreement, the salary installment payable to Executive hereunder on the next succeeding salary installment payment date shall be an amount computed by subtracting (a) the amount of such sickness or disability payments that shall have become payable during the period between such date and the immediately preceding salary installment date from (b) the salary installment otherwise payable to Executive hereunder on such date.

SECTION 2.02 Annual Bonus. During the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement, Executive shall be eligible to participate in Employer’s or Intermex LLC’s annual incentive compensation plan, as may be continued or established by the Board, in its discretion, from time to time (the “Bonus Plan”) and shall have the opportunity to earn a performance based bonus (“Annual Bonus”) up to 30% of the Base Salary. The amount of any Annual Bonus actually payable to Executive shall be determined by the Board in its discretion and shall be payable in accordance with Employer’s practices as of the date hereof or pursuant to such other procedures as may be agreed to between the Chief Executive Officer of Employer and the Board. Executive acknowledges that (a) Executive’s Annual Bonus may, in the discretion of the Board, be conditioned on the achievement, as determined by the Board in its discretion, of performance targets established by the Board in its discretion and (b) the Board may amend or modify from time to time the Bonus Plan, including modifying the performance requirements, target levels and participation terms thereof, and the Board reserves the right to terminate the Bonus Plan at any time and for any reason.

ARTICLE III

Executive Benefits

SECTION 3.01 Benefit Plans. During the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to participate in any benefit plans (excluding severance, bonus, incentive or profit-sharing plans) offered by Employer and Intermex LLC as in effect from time to time (collectively, “Benefit Plans”) on the same basis as that generally made available to other employees of Employer or Intermex LLC to the extent Executive may be eligible to do so under the terms of any such Benefit Plan. Executive understands that any such Benefit Plans may be terminated or amended from time to time by Employer or Intermex LLC in their discretion; provided, however, that, if such Benefit Plans cease to include medical and dental plans, Executive shall be eligible to receive medical and dental benefits substantially comparable to such benefits provided by Intermex LLC to Executive under Intermex LLC’s medical and dental plans as of the date hereof. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 3.01, nothing shall preclude Executive from participating during the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement in any present or future bonus, incentive or profit-sharing plan or other plan of Employer or Intermex LLC for the benefit of its employees, in each case as and to the extent approved or determined by the Board in its discretion and subject to Section 2.02.

SECTION 3.02 Business Expenses. Employer will reimburse Executive for all reasonably incurred business expenses, subject to the travel and expense policy established by Employer or Intermex LLC from time to time, incurred by Executive during the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement in the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder, provided that Executive furnishes to Employer adequate records and other documentary evidence required to substantiate such expenditures.

SECTION 3.03 Vacation. During the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement, Executive shall receive 20 paid vacation days per year, which shall be accrued and taken in accordance with Intermex LLC’s vacation policy.

ARTICLE IV

Termination

SECTION 4.01 Exclusive Rights. The amounts payable under this Article IV are intended to be, and are, exclusive and in lieu of any other rights or remedies to which Executive may otherwise be entitled, including under common, tort or contract law, under policies of Employer and its affiliates in effect from time to time, under this Agreement or otherwise, in the event of Executive’s termination of employment with Employer and its affiliates.

SECTION 4.02 Termination by Employer for Cause. (a) If Employer terminates Executive for Cause (as defined below), Executive shall be entitled to receive (i) Base Salary earned through the date of termination that remains unpaid as of the date of Executive’s termination, (ii) any accrued and unpaid bonus for any previously completed bonus period that Executive is entitled to receive as of the date of termination that remains unpaid as of the date of Executive’s termination, (iii) reimbursement for any unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred by Executive prior to the date of Executive’s termination to the extent such expenses are reimbursable under Section 3.02 and (iv) such benefits (excluding benefits under any severance plan, program or policy then in effect), if any, to which Executive may be entitled under the Benefit Plans as of the date of Executive’s termination, which benefits shall be payable in accordance with the terms of such Benefits Plans (the amounts described in clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 4.02(a) being referred to herein as the “Accrued Rights”).

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cause” shall mean Executive’s (i) willful failure to perform those duties that Executive is required to perform as an employee under this Agreement, (ii) conviction of, or a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, dishonesty, theft, unethical business conduct or conduct that significantly impairs the reputation of Employer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or a felony (or the equivalent thereof in a jurisdiction other than the United States), (iii) gross negligence, malfeasance or willful misconduct in connection with Executive’s duties hereunder (either by an act of commission or omission) that is significantly injurious to the financial condition or business reputation of Employer, Intermex LLC or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates, (iv) breach of the provisions of Section 5.03 or 5.04 or (v) a breach of the provisions of Article V (other than Section 5.03 or 5.04) that either (A) is materially damaging to the business or reputation of Employer or Intermex LLC or any of their affiliates or (B) occurs after Employer has notified Executive of a prior breach of such Article V (other than Section 5.03 or 5.04).

(c) If Employer desires to terminate Executive’s employment for Cause in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 4.02(b) and the basis for Cause, by its nature, is capable of being cured, Employer shall first provide Executive with written notice of the applicable event that constitutes the basis for Cause (a “Cause Notice”) within ten days of the Board’s becoming aware of such event. Such notice shall specifically identify such claimed breach. Executive shall have 15 days following receipt of such Cause Notice (the “Cause Cure Period”) to cure such basis for Cause, and Employer shall be entitled at the end of such Cause Cure Period to terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement for Cause, provided, however, that, if such breach is cured within the Cause Cure Period or if Employer does not terminate Executive’s employment with Employer within ten days after the end of the Cause Cure Period, Employer’s termination of Executive’s employment shall not be deemed to be a termination for Cause.

SECTION 4.03 Termination by Employer Other Than for Cause, Disability or Death., Termination by Executive for Good Reason. (a) If Employer elects to terminate Executive’s employment for any reason other than Cause, Disability (as defined below) or death or if Executive elects to terminate Executive’s employment with Employer for Good Reason (as defined below), (i) Employer shall continue to pay Executive’s Base Salary through the period of time ending nine months after the date of Executive’s termination of employment, payable in installments at the same times at which and in the same manner in which such Base Salary would have been payable to Executive had a termination of employment not occurred, (ii) Executive shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to (A) the product of (1) Executive’s target bonus for the calendar year in which Executive’s termination of employment hereunder occurs and (2) a fraction equal to (I) the number of days elapsed in such calendar year prior to Executive’s termination of employment hereunder, divided by (II) 365, less (B) any bonus for such calendar year paid to Executive (1) prior to his termination of employment with Employer or (2) pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of Accrued Rights set forth above, payable in equal installments during the nine-month period following such termination of employment at the same times as Employer’s payroll applicable to the other employees of Employer is paid and (iii) Executive shall be entitled to the Accrued Rights; provided, however, that, in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), Employer shall not be obligated to (x) commence such payments until such time as Executive has provided a general release in favor of Employer, Intermex LLC, their subsidiaries and affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives in form and substance acceptable to Employer and such general release has become effective and irrevocable (such date, the “Release Effective Date”), except that any payments that would have otherwise been paid to Executive following the date of the termination of employment and prior to the Release Effective Date shall be accumulated and paid to Executive in a lump sum on the first payment date following the Release Effective Date, and (y) continue such payments at any time following a breach of the provisions of Section 5.03 or 5.04 or a breach of the provisions of Article V (other than Section 5.03 or 5.04) that either (A) is materially damaging to the business or reputation of Employer or Intermex LLC or any of their affiliates or (B) occurs after Employer has notified Executive of a prior breach of such Article V (other than Section 5.03 or 5.04); provided, further, that if the Release Effective Date does not occur within 60 days of the date of termination of employment, Employer shall not be obligated to make payments under clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Good Reason” shall mean: (i) (A) the assignment to Executive of any duties inconsistent in any material adverse respect with the Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities as contemplated by Section 1.02 or (B) a reduction in Executive’s title; (ii) any material breach by Employer of any material provisions of this Agreement; (iii) any reduction in Executive’s Base Salary; (iv) a material reduction in employee benefits, other than a change which results from an amendment or alteration of Employer’s or Intermex LLC’s Benefit Plans that affects its salaried employees generally; or (vi) in the event of a transfer (for consideration or otherwise) of substantially all of the business operations of Employer, this Agreement is not assigned pursuant to Section 6.01.

(c) Employee shall provide Employer with written notice of the applicable event that constitutes the basis for Good Reason within ten days of such event. Such notice shall specifically identify such claimed breach and shall inform Employer what must be done to cure such breach. If Employer fails to cure such basis for Good Reason within 30 calendar days after the receipt of such notice (the “Good Reason Cure Period”), Employee shall be entitled at the end of the Good Reason Cure Period to terminate his employment under this Agreement for Good Reason, whereupon Executive shall provide written notice of such termination to Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such breach is cured within such 30-day period or if Executive does not terminate Executive’s employment with Employer within ten days after the end of the Good Reason Cure Period, any termination of employment by Employee shall not be deemed to be a termination for Good Reason.

SECTION 4.04 Termination for Disability or Death. Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon Executive’s death. Employer may terminate Executive’s employment upon the occurrence of Executive’s Disability. In the event of Executive’s termination due to death or Disability, Executive, or Executive’s estate, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Rights. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Disability” shall mean (a) the inability of Executive, due to illness, accident or any other physical or mental incapacity, to perform Executive’s duties in a normal manner for a period of 120 days (whether or not consecutive) in any twelve-month period during the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement or (b) the Executive’s being accepted for long-term disability benefits under any long-term disability plan in which he is then participating. The Board shall determine, according to the facts then available, whether and when the Disability of Executive has occurred. Such determination shall not be arbitrary or unreasonable and the Board will take into consideration the expert medical opinion of a physician chosen by Employer, after such physician has completed an examination of Executive. Executive agrees to make himself available for such examination upon the reasonable request of Employer.

SECTION 4.05 Termination of Employment by Executive Without Good Reason. If Executive terminates Executive’s employment with Employer for any reason other than for Good Reason, Executive shall provide written notice to Employer at least 60 days prior to the effective date of Executive’s resignation from employment and Executive shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Rights.

SECTION 4.06 Board Resignation. Upon termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive agrees to resign, as of the date of such termination and to the extent applicable, as an officer of Employer, Intermex LLC and their affiliates and from the Board and its committees and the Board of Directors or other managing body of Intermex LLC or Employer’s other affiliates and their committees.

SECTION 5.13 Specific Performance. Executive agrees that any breach by Executive of any of the provisions of this Article V shall cause irreparable harm to Employer that could not be made whole by monetary damages and that, in the event of such a breach, Executive shall waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate, and Employer shall be entitled to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Article V without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or providing prior notice, in addition to any other remedy to which Employer may be entitled at law or in equity.

SECTION 6.06 Governing Law and Jurisdiction. (a) This Agreement and any disputes arising under or related hereto (whether for breach of contract, tortious conduct or otherwise) shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to its conflicts of law principles. Each party irrevocably agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding against them arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or disputes relating hereto (whether for breach of contract, tortuous conduct or otherwise) shall be brought exclusively in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, or, if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the state courts of New York located in New York County and hereby irrevocably accepts and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the aforesaid courts in personam, with respect to any such action, suit or proceeding.

(b) Each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 6.06(b).

(c) The prevailing party in any dispute or legal action arising under this Agreement shall be entitled to recover its reasonable expenses, attorneys’ fees and costs from the non-prevailing party.

SECTION 6.07 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then such provision, covenant or condition shall, as to such jurisdiction, be modified or restricted to the extent necessary to make such provision valid, binding and enforceable, or, if such provision cannot be modified or restricted, then such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed to be excised from this Agreement and any such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability with respect to such provision shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction, and the remainder of the provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.

SECTION 6.08 Survival. The rights and obligations of Employer and Executive under the provisions of this Agreement, including Articles V and VI, shall survive and remain binding and enforceable, notwithstanding any termination of Executive’s employment with Employer, to the extent necessary to preserve the intended benefits of such provisions.

SECTION 6.09 Cooperation. Executive shall provide Executive’s reasonable cooperation to Employer and Intermex LLC in connection with any suit, action or proceeding (or any appeal therefrom) that relates to events occurring during Executive’s employment with Employer or any of its affiliates other than a suit between Executive, on the one hand, and Employer or Intermex LLC, on the other hand, provided that Employer shall reimburse Executive for expenses reasonably incurred in connection with such cooperation.

SECTION 6.10 Executive Representation. Executive hereby represents to Employer that the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Executive and Employer and the performance by Executive of Executive’s duties hereunder shall not constitute a breach of, or otherwise contravene, or be prevented, interfered with or hindered by, the terms of any employment agreement or other agreement or policy to which Executive is a party or otherwise bound.

SECTION 6.11 No Waiver. The provisions of this Agreement may be waived only in writing signed by the party or parties entitled to the benefit thereof. A waiver or any breach or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not in any way affect, limit or waive a party’s rights hereunder at any time to enforce strict compliance thereafter with every provision of this Agreement.

SECTION 6.12 Set Off. Employer’s obligation to pay Executive the amounts provided and to make the arrangements provided hereunder shall be subject to set-off, counterclaim or recoupment of amounts owed by Executive to Employer or its affiliates.

SECTION 6.13 Withholding Taxes. Employer may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such Federal, state, local and foreign taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

SECTION 6.14 Section 409A. (a) It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement comply with Section 409A (“Section 409A”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A.

(b) Neither Executive nor any of his creditors or beneficiaries shall have the right to subject any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) payable under this Agreement or under any other plan, policy, arrangement or agreement of or with Employer or any of its affiliates (this Agreement and such other plans, policies, arrangements and agreements, the “Company Plans”) to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment. Except as permitted under Section 409A, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) payable to Executive or for Executive’s benefit under any Company Plan may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by Executive to Employer or any of its affiliates.

(c) If, at the time of Executive’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A), (i) Executive shall be a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A and using the identification methodology selected by Employer from time to time) and (ii) Employer shall make a good faith determination that an amount payable under a Company Plan constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in Section 409A in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A, then the Employer (or its affiliate, as applicable) shall not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but shall instead accumulate such amount and pay it on the first business day after such six-month period.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any Company Plan to the contrary, in light of the uncertainty with respect to the proper application of Section 409A, Employer reserves the right to make amendments to any Company Plan as Employer deems necessary or desirable to avoid the imposition of taxes or penalties under Section 409A. In any case, Executive is solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on Executive or for Executive’s account in connection with any Company Plan (including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A), and neither the Employer nor any affiliate shall have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold Executive harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties.

(e) For purposes of Section 409A, each payment hereunder will be deemed to be a separate payment as permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii).

(f) Except as specifically permitted by Section 409A, any benefits and reimbursements provided to Executive under this Agreement during any calendar year shall not affect any benefits and reimbursements to be provided to Executive under this Agreement in any other calendar year, and the right to such benefits and reimbursements cannot be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit. Furthermore, reimbursement payments shall be made to Executive as soon as practicable following the date that the applicable expense is incurred, but in no event later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the underlying expense is incurred.

SECTION 6.15 Release. In consideration of Employer’s entering into this Agreement and Employer’s obligations hereunder, Executive hereby irrevocably waives, releases and forever discharges Employer and its affiliates and their predecessors, successors, current and former employees, shareholders, members, partners, directors, officers, representatives and agents from any and all actions, causes of action, claims, demands for general or specific or punitive damages, attorney’s fees, or expenses, known or unknown, that in any way relate to or arise out of Executive’s employment with Employer through and including the date of this Agreement which Executive may now or hereafter have, including claims under any Federal, state or local statute, rule or regulation or principle of common, tort or contract law.

SECTION 6.16 Determinations. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all determinations of Employer or the Board shall be in the sole discretion of Employer or the Board, as applicable.

SECTION 6.17 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original instrument and all of which together shall constitute a single instrument.

SECTION 6.18 Construction. (a) The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

(b) As used in this Agreement, words such as “herein,” “hereinafter,” “hereby” and “hereunder,” and words of like import refer to this Agreement, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”.
