(k) Executive’s Cooperation. During the Employment Period and thereafter, Executive shall reasonably cooperate with the Company, at the Company’s sole expense, in any internal investigation, any administrative, regulatory or judicial investigation or proceeding or any dispute with a third party as reasonably requested by the Company or any Affiliate (including, without limitation, Executive being available during normal business hours to the Company or its Affiliates upon reasonable notice for interviews and factual investigations, appearing at the Company’s request to give testimony without requiring service of a subpoena or other legal process, volunteering to the Company all pertinent information and turning over to the Company all relevant documents which are or may come into Executive’s possession, all at times and on schedules that are reasonably consistent with Executive’s other permitted activities and commitments), provided that after the Employment Period, such activities shall be subject to the payment by the Company of reasonable compensation for the time and services of the Executive as well as reimbursement of reasonable travel and related expenses.

The provisions of this Agreement may be amended and waived only with the prior written consent of the Parties, and no course of conduct or course of dealing or failure or delay by any Party hereto in enforcing or exercising any of the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company’s right to terminate the employment of Executive for Cause, shall affect the validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Agreement or be deemed to be an implied waiver of any provision of this Agreement.

11. Compliance with Code Section 409A. The provisions of this Section 11 shall apply solely to the extent that a payment under this Agreement is subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

(a) General Suspension of Payments. If the Executive is a “specified employee,” as such term is defined within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, any payments or benefits payable or provided as a result of the Executive’s termination of employment (to the extent such payments or benefits are subject to and not exempt from Section 409A of the Code) that would otherwise be paid or provided prior to the first day of the seventh (7^th) month following such termination (other than due to death) shall instead be paid or provided on the earlier of (i) the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day following the Executive’s termination, (ii) the date of the Executive’s death, or (iii) any date that otherwise complies with Section 409A of the Code. In the event that Executive is entitled to receive payments during the suspension period provided under this Section, the Executive shall receive the accumulated benefits that would have been paid or provided under this Agreement within the suspension period on the earliest day that would be permitted under Section 409A of the Code. In the event of any delay in payment under this provision, the deferred amount shall bear interest at the prime rate (as stated in the Wall Street Journal) in effect on his termination date until paid.

(b) Reimbursement Payments. The following rules shall apply to payments of any amounts under this Agreement that are treated as “reimbursement payments” under Section 409A of the Code: (i) except for an arrangement providing for the reimbursement of medical expenses referred to in Section 105(b) of the Code, the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement in one calendar year shall not affect the available reimbursements for any other calendar year; (ii) the Executive shall file a claim for all reimbursement payments not later than thirty (30) days following the end of the calendar year during which the expenses were incurred, (iii) the Company shall make such reimbursement payments within thirty (30) days following the date the Executive delivers written notice of the expenses to the Company; and (iv) the Executive’s right to such reimbursement payments shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other payment or benefit. This Section 10(b) is intended to satisfy the requirements for a fixed payment schedule in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv), and shall be administered accordingly.

(c) Separation from Service. For purposes of this Agreement, any reference to “termination” of the Executive’s employment shall be interpreted consistent with the meaning of the term “separation from service” in Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and no portion of the Severance Payments shall be paid to the Executive prior to the date he incurs a separation from service under Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code.

(d) Installment Payments. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other guidance thereunder and any state law of similar effect (including without limitation Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), all payments made under this Agreement (whether severance payments or otherwise) will be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment under this Agreement will at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment.

(e) General. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is intended that the severance benefits and other payments payable under this Agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Section 409A of the Code provided under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-1(b)(5), and 1.409A-(b)(9), and this Agreement will be construed to the greatest extent possible as consistent with those provisions. The commencement of payment or provision of any payment or benefit under this Agreement shall be deferred or not be deferred (as the case may be) to the minimum extent necessary to prevent the imposition of any excise taxes or penalties on the Company or the Executive.

This Amendment to the Employment Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into on July 11, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Rubicon Global Holdings, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, an individual (“Executive”) (Executive and the Company being the “Parties” to this Agreement) which amends that certain Employment Agreement Entered into between Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx and Rubicon Global dated November 17, 2016 (“Original Employment Agreement”).

Whereas, the Parties desire to enter into this Agreement in order to amend the Original Employment Agreement and to provide Executive with certain compensation in the event there is a Change of Control or a significant Company reorganization;

Whereas, the Parties desire to enter into this Agreement in order to ensure that Executive is fairly compensated; and

Whereas, Executive’s acknowledgments, agreements, promises, and representations in this Agreement inure to the benefit of not only the Company but also its Affiliates, successors and assigns;

1. Amendments to the Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, the Parties agree The Original Employment Agreement is amended to add new Section 2(d) under Compensation which shall read as follows:

“d. Retention Bonus. The Company has determined that certain key employees will be necessary to support a planned or unplanned Change in Control. Accordingly, and subject to the terms and conditions below, the Executive will be eligible to receive a “Retention Bonus” equal to 100% of their Base Salary due to a planned or unplanned Change in Control, or significant corporate reorganization (the “Event”), in addition to any other benefits set forth in this Agreement. Company shall notify Executive in writing of the planned Event and specific Retention Bonus given the Executive’s then-applicable Base Salary, along with expected contributions of the Executive for the transaction (the “Event Notification”).

(1) If the Executive incurs a termination of employment due to death at least 12 months after the Effective Date and before payment of the Retention Bonus, the Executive’s Beneficiary shall be paid pro rata percentage of the payment that would become due at the end of the Event based on the date of the Executive’s death.

(2) If the Executive incurs a termination of employment due to Disability at least 12 months after the Effective Date and, before payment of the Retention Bonus pursuant to an Event Notification, the Executive shall be paid a pro rata percentage of the payment that would become following the date of the Executive’s Disability, as follows:

(a) If the Executive recovers from his or her Disability and returns to active employment with the Company prior to the first anniversary of/us Disability, any Retention Bonus that was unpaid that occurred during the Period of the Disability shall he paid on the first payroll date following the date on which the Executive returns to active employment provided that the Change in Control event has completed. In addition, the Executive will be treated as having been continuously employed by the Company during the period of his Disability.”

2. No Further Changes. Except as expressly provided in this Amendment, the Original Employment Agreement shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to enter into this Agreement in order to amend the Original Employment Agreement as set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and accepted, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Amendments to the Agreement. The Original Employment Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

Section 2(c) is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“Upon the closing of a Sale Event or IPO (as defined in this Agreement), Executive shall be entitled to receive a one (1) time special bonus payment from the Company (the “Special Bonus”) in the amount of:

$2,725,000 in the event the Enterprise Value equals or exceeds One Billion Dollars ($1,000,000,000); or

ii.

$4,725,000 in the event the Enterprise Value equals or exceeds One Billion Five Hundred Million Dollars ($1,500,000,000).

For purposes of this Section 5, “Enterprise Value” means the pro forma valuation of the Company in the Sale Event or IPO, without deduction for transaction fees and expenses, Company debt, or any other deductions from the pro forma valuation, including, without limitation, continuing, paid or assumed executive compensation obligations, whether continued, paid or assumed in cash or equity. The Special Bonus shall be grossed up for any state, federal and payroll taxes that may be due as a result of the Special Bonus such that the net amount of the Special Bonus to Executive after subtracting all such applicable taxes shall be equal to either $2,725,000 or $4,725,000, as applicable. The Special Bonus shall be paid to Executive within fifteen (15) days after the closing of the Sale Event or IPO, as applicable, subject to all applicable withholding obligations. Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to pay the Special Bonus in cash or equity, or any combination thereof. To the extent the Special Bonus is paid in equity, the Company shall use commercially reasonable good faith efforts to structure the equity in a tax efficient manner for Executive, subject to provisions of applicable law.”

The following language shall be added as the last two sentences of the main paragraph of Section 2(d):

“As used in this Section 2(d), “Base Salary” means Executive’s Base Salary as of December 31, 2021. For avoidance of doubt, the Retention Bonus is a one (1) time payment.”

Section 2(f) is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“Executive shall be eligible for a one (1) time additional bonus equal to two times (2x) Executive’s Base Salary as of December 31, 2021 (the “Post Sale Retention Bonus”) in the event Executive remains employed by the Company or its successor following the Closing of the Sale Event or IPO, as applicable. Executive shall be deemed to have earned the Post Sale Retention Bonus, subject to all applicable withholding obligations, in the event Executive remains employed by the Company or its successor for any period of time from and after closing of the Sale Event or IPO. The Post Sale Retention Bonus shall be paid to Executive within fifteen (15) days after the closing of the Sale Event or IPO, as applicable.”

The following language shall be inserted as a new Section 10(m) of the Original Agreement:

Indemnification. Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law from and against all claims, demands, liabilities, and expenses arising out of any management of the Company’s affairs. The Company shall advance to Executive the reasonable and documented expenses incurred by Executive in connection with defending, responding to, or investigating any claim or demand for which the Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company pursuant to this Section 10(m).
