2.1 Term. The initial term of this Agreement will begin on the Effective Date and continue for three years, unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 2.2. Thereafter, this agreement will automatically renew for successive one-year periods unless either party provides written notice to the other party of nonrenewal at least 30 days prior to the renewal date, or unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 2.2.

All other terms and conditions of such awards shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable award agreement(s) and covenant agreement(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement will supersede or terminate any prior vested equity awards granted to Employee; provided that Company and Employee agree that this Section 3.3 does supersede and terminate Section 3.3 of the Prior Agreement, and that the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement between Company and Employee for 90,000 RSUs with a grant date of August 9, 2022 is hereby superseded and terminated and of no further force or effect from and after the Effective Date, without cancelling or otherwise affecting any RSUs that have vested pursuant thereto prior to the Effective Date.

3.7.1 If Company terminates Employee’s employment without Cause (defined below), and provided that Employee executes and returns to Company a release of claims in a form reasonably acceptable to Company that becomes fully effective within 60 days after the effective date of such termination (“Termination Date”), Company shall provide severance pay to Employee in an amount equal to the sum of: (a) three months of base salary; (b) three months of annual bonus at Employee’s target amount (50% of base salary); and (c) three months of Company’s contribution to Employee’s health and welfare benefits, in each case determined at the rates in effect as of the Termination Date. Severance pay will be paid over a period of three months in equal installments on Company’s regular paydays, commencing on the first payday that is at least 60 days after the Termination Date; provided that the first such payment will include all sums that would have been paid had payment commenced on the first payday after the Termination Date.

4.RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS. Employee acknowledges Employee’s non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disparagement, confidentiality, and other obligations contained in the covenant agreement(s) executed by Employee in connection with Employee’s equity awards. In the event of a conflict between any such covenant agreements, the legally enforceable provision affording the greatest protection to Company shall prevail. Such obligations are incorporated herein by this reference, as if set forth fully herein.

5.INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE. In the event that Employee 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”), other than any Proceeding initiated by Employee or any Group Company related to any dispute between Employee and such Group Company with respect to this Agreement or Employee’s employment hereunder, by reason of the fact that Employee is or was a director or officer of a Group 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, Employee shall be indemnified and held harmless by Company to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law and 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 Employee in defense of such Proceeding (including attorneys’ fees) shall be paid by Company in advance of the final disposition of such litigation upon receipt by 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 Employee to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that Employee is not entitled to be indemnified by Company under this Agreement. In addition, during the Term and for a period of six years thereafter, Company or any successor to Company shall purchase and maintain, at its own expense, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing commercially reasonable coverage to Employee.

6.2 Modification; Waiver. Except for judicial modification of restrictive covenants as provided in the covenant agreement(s) executed by Employee in connection with Employee’s equity awards, this Agreement cannot be amended or modified except by a writing signed by each of the parties. No waiver of any provision will be deemed to have occurred unless memorialized in a writing signed by the waiving party. If either party should waive any breach of any provision of this Agreement, such party will not thereby be deemed to have waived any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

(“Section 409A”), to the extent subject thereto, and accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement will be interpreted to be in compliance with Section 409A. The payment of any annual bonus is intended to be a “short term deferral” under Section 409A and any amount payable will be paid in a lump sum on a date determined by Company before the end of the “short term deferral” period” with respect to such bonus. To the extent required to avoid an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, amounts reimbursable to Employee under this Agreement for expenses will be paid to Employee on or before the last day of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred and the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during one year may not affect the amounts reimbursable in any subsequent year. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement or in any other document, Company will not be responsible for the payment of any applicable taxes incurred by Employee pursuant to this Agreement, including with respect to compliance pursuant to Section 409A. Company makes no representation that any or all of the payments and benefits described in this Agreement will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A.

6.4 Governing Law; Dispute Resolution. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado and applicable federal law, without regard to any state’s principles regarding conflict of laws. Any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be subject to the arbitration or other dispute resolution provisions contained in the most recent (as of the date such action is initiated) covenant agreement executed by Employee in connection with Employee’s equity awards.

This Agreement (along with the other agreements referenced herein) is the entire agreement between the parties regarding the matters addressed herein, and it and supersedes and replaces all prior agreements, representations, negotiations or discussions between the parties regarding such matters, whether written or oral, including without limitation the Prior Agreement and the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement between Company and Employee for 90,000 RSUs with a grant date of August 9, 2022.
