Executive immediately prior to the Control Transaction;

(v)
|
the failure to provide Executive with substantially the same fringe benefits that were provided to Executive immediately prior to the Control Transaction, or with a package of fringe benefits that, though one

Death or Disability.

essential functions of her job, with or without reasonable accommodation, for a period of one hundred eighty days (180) out of any three hundred sixty-five (365) day period (a “Disability”), Iradimed’s obligations under this Agreement shall
cease, except that Executive may participate in any Iradimed-provided group disability benefits in accordance with the terms of those plans. However, in the event that the Company temporarily replaces the
Executive, or transfers the Executive’s duties or responsibilities to another individual on account of the Executive’s inability to perform such duties due to a mental or physical incapacity which is, or is reasonably expected to become,
a Disability, then the Executive’s employment shall not be deemed terminated by the Company. Any question as to the existence of the Executive’s Disability as to which the Executive and the Company cannot agree shall be determined in
writing by a qualified independent physician mutually acceptable to the Executive and the Company. If the Executive and the Company cannot agree as to a qualified independent physician, each shall appoint such a physician and those two
physicians shall select a third who shall make such determination in writing. The determination of Disability made in writing to the Company and the Executive shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of this Agreement.

General Compliance. This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code or an exemption thereunder and shall be
construed and administered in accordance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, payments provided under this Agreement may only be made upon an event and in a manner that complies with Section 409A or an

maximum extent possible. For purposes of Section 409A, each installment payment provided under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. Any payments to be made under this Agreement upon a termination of employment shall only
be made upon a “separation from service” under Section 409A.

connection with her termination of employment is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and the Executive is determined to be a “specified employee” as defined in Section
409A(a)(2)(b)(i), then such payment or benefit shall not be paid until the first payroll date to occur following the six-month anniversary of the Termination Date or, if earlier, on the Executive’s death (the “Specified Employee Payment
Date”). The aggregate of any payments that would otherwise have been paid before the Specified Employee Payment Date and interest on such amounts calculated based on the applicable federal rate published by the Internal Revenue Service for

provided, in any other calendar year;

|
any reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be paid to the Executive on
|

or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred; and
|
|
(iii)
|
any right to reimbursements or in-kind benefits under this Agreement shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
|
24.
|
Indemnification. In the event that the Executive is made a party or threatened to be made a party to
any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that the Executive is or was a director or officer of the Company, or any affiliate of the Company, or is or
was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, member, employee, or agent of another corporation or a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, the Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
Company to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law and the Company’s bylaws from and against any liabilities, costs, claims, and expenses, including all costs and expenses incurred in defense of any Proceeding (including
attorneys’ fees). Costs and expenses incurred by the Executive in defense of such Proceeding (including attorneys’ fees) shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such litigation upon receipt by the Company of: (i)
a written request for payment; (ii) appropriate documentation evidencing the incurrence, amount, and nature of the costs and expenses for which payment is being sought; and (iii) an undertaking adequate under applicable law made by or on
behalf of the Executive to repay the amounts so paid if it shall ultimately be determined that the Executive is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company under this Agreement.
(b) During the employment Term and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, the Company or any successor to the Company shall purchase and maintain, at its own expense, directors’ and officers’ liability
insurance providing coverage to the Executive on terms that are no less favorable than the coverage provided to other directors and similarly situated executives of the Company.

part in its business (other than exercising her rights as a shareholder), or seeks to do any of the foregoing.
4. Non-Disparagement. It is
understood that Executive may not always agree with the policies, procedures and practices of Company. Executive agrees, however, that it is Executive’s duty to support the Company and its actions and, therefore, agrees that during or after the term
of this Agreement, Executive will not publicly criticize or make any defamatory or disparaging remarks or writings about Company, its Affiliates or its or their officers, managers, attorneys or other employees. This section does not, in any way,
restrict or impede the Executive from exercising protected rights to the extent that such rights cannot be waived by agreement or from complying with any applicable law or regulation or a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an
authorized government agency, provided that such compliance does not exceed that required by the law, regulation, or order. The Executive shall promptly provide written notice of any such order to the Company’s board of directors. The Company agrees
and covenants that it shall cause its officers and directors to refrain from making any defamatory or disparaging remarks, comments, or statements concerning the Executive to any third parties.
5. Breach and Remedies. By
executing this Agreement, Executive acknowledges that this Agreement is assignable by Company and acknowledges that a breach of this agreement will give rise to irreparable and continuing injury to the Company, and further agrees that the Company or
its successors and assigns may obtain injunctive relief against the breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, in addition to any other legal remedies which may be available to it. If any court refuses to enforce this Agreement or any provision
hereof, because it is more extensive (as to time, geographic area, definition of Client or otherwise) than is necessary to protect the business and goodwill of the company, Executive agrees that this Agreement, or the offending provision, shall be
modified to the extent necessary to permit the terms hereof to be enforced in any such legal proceeding. Executive understands that all obligations under this Agreement shall survive termination or expiration of Executive’s employment with Company.
