Exhibit 10.1

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of this 25 day of July, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), between Amarin Corporation plc, (the “Company”) and Aaron D. Berg (the “Executive”).

Payments and benefits to the Executive under this Agreement may be satisfied by a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company.

WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to employ the Executive and the Executive desires to continue to be employed by the Company, on the terms and conditions contained herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

Employment.

(a)

Term. The Company shall employ the Executive and the Executive shall be employed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement commencing as of June 4, 2024 and continuing until such employment is terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof (the “Term”). The Executive’s employment with the Company shall be “at will,” meaning that the Executive’s employment may be terminated by the Company or the Executive at any time and for any reason subject to the terms of this Agreement.

(b)

Position and Duties. The Executive shall serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company and shall have such powers and duties as may from time to time be prescribed by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). In addition, the Company shall cause the Executive to be nominated for election to the Board and to be recommended to the shareholders for election to the Board as long as the Executive remains the CEO; provided that the Executive shall be deemed to have resigned from the Board and from any related positions upon ceasing to serve as CEO for any reason. The Executive shall devote the Executive’s full working time and efforts to the business and affairs of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may serve on other boards of directors, with the reasonable approval of the Board, or engage in religious, charitable or other community activities as long as such services and activities do not interfere with the Executive’s performance of the Executive’s duties to the Company. In addition to the Executive’s role as CEO, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that he may be required, without additional compensation, to perform duties for certain affiliated entities of the Company, including, without limitation, Amarin Pharma, Inc., and to accept any reasonable office or position with any such affiliate as the Board may require, including, but not limited to, service as an officer or director of any such affiliate, provided, however, that such duties and obligations to the Company’s affiliates do not unduly burden or interfere with the Executive’s performance as CEO of the Company. The Company shall maintain a director and officer policy (“D&O Policy”) and the Executive shall be covered under the Company’s D&O policy.

Location. The Executive’s principal place of employment will be the Company’s

U.S headquarters, which are currently located in Bridgewater, New Jersey, but the Executive

understands that he will be required to travel frequently for business, including to the Company’s Irish headquarters, which are currently located in Dublin, Ireland, as well as to other locations in Europe and other parts of the world. Any change to the location of the Executive’s principal place of employment must be approved in advance by the Board. The Executive shall be reimbursed for all business travel, subject to the Company’s policies and procedures then in effect and established

by the Company for its U.S. executives.

Compensation and Related Matters.

(a)

Base Salary. The Executive’s initial base salary shall be paid at the rate of

$700,000 per year. The Executive’s base salary shall be subject to periodic review by the Board or the Remuneration Committee of the Board (the “Remuneration Committee”). The Remuneration Committee may increase but not decrease the Executive’s Base Salary. The base salary in effect at any given time is referred to herein as “Base Salary.” The Base Salary shall be payable in a manner that is consistent with the Company’s usual payroll practices for its executive officers.

(b)

Incentive Compensation. The Executive shall be eligible to receive cash incentive compensation as determined by the Board or the Remuneration Committee from time to time. The actual amount of the Executive’s cash incentive compensation, if any, shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Board or the Remuneration Committee, and may be further subject to the terms of any applicable incentive compensation plan that may be in effect from time to time. Except as may be provided by the Board or the Remuneration Committee, or as may otherwise be set forth in the applicable incentive compensation plan or this Agreement, the Executive must be employed by the Company on the date such cash incentive compensation is paid in order to earn or receive any cash incentive compensation.

(c)

Expenses. The Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable expenses (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all reasonable travel expenses incurred consistent with the policies and procedures then in effect and established by the Company for its U.S. executives) incurred by the Executive during the Term in performing services hereunder, in accordance with the policies and procedures then in effect and established by the Company for its U.S. executives.

(d)

Other Benefits. The Executive shall be eligible to participate in or receive benefits under the Company’s employee benefit plans in effect from time to time, subject to the terms of such plans.

(e)

Paid Time Off. The Executive shall be entitled to take paid time off in accordance with the Company’s applicable paid time off policy for its U.S. executives, as may be in effect from time to time.

(f)

Equity. In connection with the commencement of the Executive’s employment as CEO and subject to the approval of the Board or the Remuneration Committee, the Company shall grant the Executive a stock option to purchase Five Million (5,000,000) of the Company’s Ordinary Shares or American Depositary Shares, representing ordinary shares of the Company, issued under the Company’s American Depositary Receipt facility (“Shares”), subject to performance-based vesting terms as set forth in the award agreement attached hereto as Exhibit

A under the Amarin Corporation plc 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan” and, together with the award agreement, the “Equity Documents”) and with an exercise price per share equal to the closing price of a Share on the Nasdaq Global Market on the date of grant (or if no closing market price is reported for such date, the closing market price on the immediately preceding date for which a closing market price is reported) (the “Option”).

(g)

Equity Commitment. The Executive desires to evidence his commitment and support for the Company by purchasing equity in the Company, without any present intention to transfer or otherwise transact in such equity, and the Company desires to accommodate this commitment. As such, promptly following the Executive’s and the Company’s execution of this Agreement (and in any event promptly following the start of the Company’s next open trading

window under its insider trading policy and special trading procedures for insiders), the Executive will purchase for cash approximately $100,000 of American Depository Shares of the Company in an open market transaction at market pricing.

Termination. The Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated without any breach of this Agreement under the following circumstances:

(a)

Death. The Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon death.

(b)

Disability. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment if the Executive is disabled and unable to perform or expected to be unable to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s then existing position or positions under this Agreement with or without reasonable accommodation for a period of 180 days (which need not be consecutive) in any 12-month period. If any question shall arise as to whether during any period the Executive is disabled so as to be unable to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s then existing position or positions with or without reasonable accommodation, the Executive may, and at the request of the Company shall, submit to the Company a certification in reasonable detail by a physician selected by the Company to whom the Executive or the Executive’s guardian has no reasonable objection as to whether the Executive is so disabled or how long such disability is expected to continue, and such certification shall for the purposes of this Agreement be conclusive of the issue. The Executive shall cooperate with any reasonable request of the physician in connection with such certification. If such question shall arise and the Executive shall fail to submit such certification, the Company’s determination of such issue shall be binding on the Executive. Nothing in this Section 4(b) shall be construed to waive the Executive’s rights, if any, under existing law including, without limitation, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 29 U.S.C.

§2601 et seq. and the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §12101 et seq.

(c)

Termination by the Company for Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means and shall be limited to: (i) conduct constituting an act of material misconduct in connection with the performance of the Executive’s duties, including, without limitation, misappropriation of funds or property of the Company other than the occasional, customary and de minimis use of Company property for personal purposes; (ii) the commission by the Executive of (A) any felony; or (B) a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, deceit, dishonesty or fraud; (iii) any conduct of the Executive that would reasonably be expected to result in material injury or material reputational harm to the Company or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates if the Executive was retained; (iv)

prior to a Change of Control, the Executive’s continued non-performance; (v) a breach by the Executive of any of the material provisions of any agreement between the Executive and the Company, including, without limitation, any agreement relating to non-disclosure, non- competition or assignment of inventions; and (vi) a material violation by the Executive of the Company’s written policies or procedures provided that, other than in the case of noncurable events, the Executive shall be provided written notice and fifteen (15) days to cure.

(d)

Termination by the Company without Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder at any time without Cause. Any termination by the Company of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement which does not constitute a termination for Cause under Section 4(c) and does not result from the death or disability of the Executive under Section 4(a) or (b) shall be deemed a termination without Cause.

(e)

Termination by the Executive. The Executive may terminate employment hereunder at any time for any reason, including but not limited to, Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean that the Executive has completed all steps of the Good Reason Process (hereinafter defined) following the occurrence of any of the following events without the Executive’s consent (each, a “Good Reason Condition”):

(i)

a material diminution in the Executive’s responsibilities, authority

or duties;

(ii)

a material diminution in the Executive’s Base Salary except for

across-the-board salary reductions based on the Company’s financial performance similarly affecting all or substantially all C-level and executive/senior management employees of the Company (for clarity, 5% or more diminution shall be deemed material);

(iii)

a requirement by the Company that the Executive change the principal location where the Executive is required to provide services for the Company (not including business travel and short-term assignments) by more than 50 miles; or

(iv)

a material breach of this Agreement by the Company. The “Good Reason Process” consists of the following steps:

(i)

the Executive reasonably determines in good faith that a Good Reason Condition has occurred;

(ii)

the Executive notifies the Company in writing of the first occurrence of the Good Reason Condition within 30 days of the first occurrence of such condition;

(iii)

notwithstanding such efforts, the Good Reason Condition continues to exist at the end of the Cure Period; and

(iv)

the Executive terminates employment within 30 days after the end of the Cure Period.

The Company shall have 30 days (“Cure Period”) from delivery of the Executive’s notice of the existence of a Good Reason Condition to cure such breached Good Reason Condition. If the Company cures the Good Reason Condition during the Cure Period, Good Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred.

Matters Related to Termination.

(a)

Notice of Termination. Except for termination as specified in Section 4(a), any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company or any such termination by the Executive shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice that indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon.

(b)

Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall mean: (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by death, the date of death; (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated on account of disability under Section 4(b) or by the Company for Cause under Section 4(c), the date on which Notice of Termination is given, provided, however, that the Company has, prior to the issuance of the Notice of Termination pursuant to Section 4(c), delivered written notice and provided the Executive with an opportunity to cure and such breach has not been cured within such 30 day cure period; (iii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause under Section 4(d), the date on which a Notice of Termination is given or the date otherwise specified by the Company in the Notice of Termination; (iv) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive under Section 4(e) other than for Good Reason, 30 days after the date on which a Notice of Termination is given; and (v) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive under Section 4(e) for Good Reason, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given after the end of the Cure Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Executive gives a Notice of Termination to the Company, the Company may unilaterally accelerate the Date of Termination and such acceleration shall not result in a termination by the Company for

purposes of this Agreement.

(c)

Accrued Obligations. If the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, the Company shall pay or provide to the Executive (or to the Executive’s authorized representative or estate) (i) any Base Salary earned through the Date of Termination and, if applicable, any accrued but unused vacation through the Date of Termination; (ii) unpaid expense reimbursements (subject to, and in accordance with, Section 3(c) of this Agreement); and

(iii) any vested benefits the Executive may have under any employee benefit plan of the Company through the Date of Termination, which vested benefits shall be paid and/or provided in accordance with the terms of such employee benefit plans (collectively, the “Accrued Obligations”).

(d)

Resignation of All Other Positions. To the extent applicable, the Executive shall be deemed to have resigned from all officer and board member positions that the Executive holds with the Company or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates upon the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason. The Executive shall execute any documents in reasonable form as may be requested to confirm or effectuate any such resignations.

Severance Pay and Benefits Upon Termination by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason Outside the Change of Control Period. If the Executive’s

employment is terminated by the Company without Cause as provided in Section 4(d), or the Executive terminates employment for Good Reason as provided in Section 4(e), in each case outside of the Change of Control Period (as defined below), then, in addition to the Accrued Obligations, and subject to (i) the Executive signing a separation agreement and release in a form and manner reasonably satisfactory to the Company, which shall include, without limitation, a general release of claims against the Company and all related persons and entities that shall not release the Executive’s rights under this Agreement or the Award Agreement, a reaffirmation of all of the Executive’s Continuing Obligations (as defined below), and, in the Company’s sole discretion, a one-year post-employment noncompetition agreement, and shall provide that if the Executive breaches any of the Continuing Obligations, all payments of the Severance Amount shall immediately cease (the “Separation Agreement”), and (ii) the Separation Agreement becoming irrevocable, all within 60 days after the Date of Termination (or such shorter period as set forth in the Separation Agreement):

(a)

the Company shall pay the Executive an amount equal to the sum of 18 months of the Executive’s Base Salary (the “Severance Amount”); and

(b)

the Company shall pay the Executive a lump sum in cash in an amount equal to .975 times the Executive’s Base Salary; and

(c)

subject to the Executive’s copayment of premium amounts at the applicable active employees’ rate and the Executive’s proper election to receive benefits under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), the Company shall pay to the group health plan provider or the COBRA provider a monthly payment equal to the monthly employer contribution that the Company would have made to provide health insurance to the Executive if the Executive had remained employed by the Company until the earliest of (A) the 18-month anniversary of the Date of Termination; (B) the date that the Executive becomes eligible for group medical plan benefits under any other employer’s group medical plan; or (C) the cessation of the Executive’s health continuation rights under COBRA; provided, however, that if the Company determines that it cannot pay such amounts to the group health plan provider or the COBRA provider (if applicable) without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), then the Company shall convert such payments to payroll payments directly to the Executive for the time period specified above. Such payments to the Executive shall be subject to tax-related deductions and withholdings and paid on the Company’s regular payroll dates.

The amounts payable under this Section 6, to the extent taxable, shall be paid out in substantially equal installments in accordance with the Company’s payroll practice over 18 months commencing within 60 days after the Date of Termination; provided, however, that if the 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, such payments, to the extent they qualify as “non-qualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), shall begin to be paid in the second calendar year by the last day of such 60-day period; provided, further, that the initial payment shall include a catch-up payment to cover amounts retroactive to the day immediately following the Date of Termination. Each payment pursuant to this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2).

Severance Pay and Benefits Upon Termination by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason within the Change of Control Period. The provisions of this Section 7 shall apply in lieu of, and expressly supersede, the provisions of Section 6 if (i) the Executive’s employment is terminated either (a) by the Company without Cause as provided in Section 4(d), or (b) by the Executive for Good Reason as provided in Section 4(e), and (ii) the Date of Termination is within the Change of Control Period. These provisions shall terminate and be of no further force or effect after the Change of Control Period.

(a)

If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause as provided in Section 4(d) or the Executive terminates employment for Good Reason as provided in Section 4(e) and in each case the Date of Termination occurs within the Change of Control Period, then, in addition to the Accrued Obligations, and subject to the signing of the Separation Agreement by the Executive and the Separation Agreement becoming fully effective, all within the time frame set forth in the Separation Agreement but in no event more than 60 days after the Date of Termination:

(i)

the Company shall pay the Executive a lump sum in cash in an amount equal to 3.3 times the Executive’s Base Salary; and

(ii)

subject to the Executive’s copayment of premium amounts at the applicable active employees’ rate and the Executive’s proper election to receive benefits under COBRA, the Company shall pay to the group health plan provider or the COBRA provider a monthly payment equal to the monthly employer contribution that the Company would have made to provide health insurance to the Executive if the Executive had remained employed by the Company until the earliest of (A) the 18-month anniversary of the Date of Termination; (B) the date that the Executive becomes eligible for group medical plan benefits under any other employer’s group medical plan; or (C) the cessation of the Executive’s health continuation rights under COBRA; provided, however, that if the Company determines that it cannot pay such amounts to the group health plan provider or the COBRA provider (if applicable) without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), then the Company shall convert such payments to payroll payments directly to the Executive for the time period specified above. Such payments to the Executive shall be subject to tax- related deductions and withholdings and paid on the Company’s regular payroll dates.

The amounts payable under this Section 7(a), to the extent taxable, shall be paid or commence to be paid within 60 days after the Date of Termination; provided, however, that if the 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, such payments to the extent they qualify as “non-qualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, shall be paid or commence to be paid in the second calendar year by the last day of such 60- day period.

(b)

Additional Limitation.

(i)

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the amount of any compensation, payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable

pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, calculated in a manner consistent with Section 280G of the Code, and the applicable regulations thereunder (the “Aggregate Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Aggregate Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) so that the sum of all of the Aggregate Payments shall be $1.00 less than the amount at which the Executive becomes subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code; provided that such reduction shall only occur if it would result in the Executive receiving a higher After Tax Amount (as defined below) than the Executive would receive if the Aggregate Payments were not subject to such reduction. In such event, the Aggregate Payments shall be reduced in the following order, in each case, in reverse chronological order beginning with the Aggregate Payments that are to be paid the furthest in time from consummation of the transaction that is subject to Section 280G of the Code: (1) cash payments not subject to Section 409A of the Code; (2) cash payments subject to Section 409A of the Code; (3) equity-based payments and acceleration; and (4) non-cash forms of benefits; provided that in the case of all the foregoing Aggregate Payments all amounts or payments that are not subject to calculation under Treas. Reg. §1.280G-1, Q&A-24(b) or (c) shall be reduced before any amounts that are subject to calculation under Treas. Reg. §1.280G-1, Q&A- 24(b) or (c).

(ii)

For purposes of this Section 7(b), the “After Tax Amount” means the amount of the Aggregate Payments less all federal, state, and local income, excise and employment taxes imposed on the Executive as a result of the Executive’s receipt of the Aggregate Payments. For purposes of determining the After Tax Amount, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation applicable to individuals for the calendar year in which the determination is to be made, and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rates of individual taxation in each applicable state and locality, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes that could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes.

(iii)

The determination as to whether a reduction in the Aggregate Payments shall be made pursuant to Section 7(b)(i) shall be made by a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within 15 business days of the Date of Termination, if applicable, or at such earlier time as is reasonably requested by the Company or the Executive. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive.

(c)

Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

(i)

“Change of Control” shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan, but only to the extent such events constitute a “change in the ownership or effective control” of the Company or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

(ii)

“Change of Control Period” shall mean the period beginning on the date of the first event constituting a Change of Control and ending on the 24-month anniversary of the first event constituting a Change of Control.

Section 409A.

(a)

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of the Executive’s separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Company determines that the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section

409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that the Executive becomes entitled to under this Agreement or otherwise on account of the Executive’s separation from service would be considered deferred compensation otherwise subject to the 20% additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six months and one day after the Executive’s separation from service, or (B) the Executive’s death. If any such delayed cash payment is otherwise payable on an installment basis, the first payment shall include a catch-up payment covering amounts that would otherwise have been paid during the six-month period but for the application of this provision, and the balance of the installments shall be payable in accordance with their original schedule.

(b)

All in-kind benefits provided and expenses eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement shall be provided by the Company or incurred by the Executive during the time periods set forth in this Agreement. All reimbursements shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event shall any reimbursement be paid after the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of in- kind benefits provided or reimbursable expenses incurred in one taxable year shall not affect the in-kind benefits to be provided or the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year (except for any lifetime or other aggregate limitation applicable to medical expenses). Such right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

(c)

To the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Agreement constitutes “non-qualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable upon the Executive’s termination of employment, then such payments or benefits shall be payable only upon the Executive’s “separation from service.” The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h).

(d)

The parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with or are exempt from Section 409A of the Code. Each payment pursuant to this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). The parties agree that this Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder without additional cost to either party.

(e)

The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Executive or any other person if any provisions of this Agreement are determined

to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section.

Reverse Stock Split. The provisions of Section 4(c) of the Plan shall apply to the Executive’s outstanding stock options and other equity-based awards if there is a reverse stock split of the Company’s stock as follows:

(a)

The number of shares subject to any outstanding stock options held by the Executive shall be reduced proportionately to reflect the reverse stock split and the exercise price of such stock option shall be increased proportionately to reflect the reverse stock split.

(b)

Any other outstanding equity-based awards held by the Executive shall be adjusted in a manner consistent with the adjustments described above in order to prevent dilution

or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be provided pursuant to such awards.

(c)

The Company shall notify the Executive in writing (including electronically by updating the details of the Executive’s equity-based awards through Shareworks or such other online platform then used by the Company) of the adjustments made to the Executive’s equity- based awards pursuant to Section 4(c) of the Plan within a reasonable time following the effective date of the reverse stock split.

10.

Continuing Obligations.

(a)

Restrictive Covenants Agreement. As a condition of employment, the Executive acknowledges his continuing obligations under the Nondisclosure, Developments and Noncompetition Agreement dated November 19, 2012, which, among other things, prohibits disclosure of any confidential or proprietary information of the Company (the “Restrictive Covenants Agreement”). A copy of the Restrictive Covenants Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit B, and the terms are incorporated by reference as material terms of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the obligations in this Section 10 and those that arise in the Restrictive Covenants Agreement and any other agreement relating to confidentiality, assignment of inventions, or other restrictive covenants shall collectively be referred to as the “Continuing Obligations.” For the avoidance of doubt, all restrictive covenants obligations are supplemental to one another, and in the event of any conflict between restrictive covenants obligations, the most restrictive provision that is enforceable shall govern.

(b)

Third-Party Agreements and Rights. The Executive hereby confirms that the Executive is not bound by the terms of any agreement with any previous employer or other party which restricts in any way the Executive’s use or disclosure of information, other than confidentiality restrictions (if any), or the Executive’s engagement in any business. The Executive represents to the Company that the Executive’s execution of this Agreement, the Executive’s employment with the Company and the performance of the Executive’s proposed duties for the Company will not violate any obligations the Executive may have to any such previous employer or other party. In the Executive’s work for the Company, the Executive will not disclose or make use of any information in violation of any agreements with or rights of any such previous employer or other party, and the Executive will not bring to the premises of the Company any copies or other

tangible embodiments of non-public information belonging to or obtained from any such previous employment or other party.

(c)

Litigation and Regulatory Cooperation. During and after the Executive’s employment, the Executive shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in (i) the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Company which relate to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company, and (ii) the investigation, whether internal or external, of any matters about which the Company believes the Executive may have knowledge or information. The Executive’s reasonable cooperation in connection with such claims, actions or investigations shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to answer questions or to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Company at mutually convenient times. During and after the Executive’s employment, the Executive also shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection with any investigation or review of any federal, state or local regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for any reasonable costs, expenses and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Executive’s performance of obligations pursuant to this Section 10(c), including, without limitation, to the extent the Board determines in its reasonable good faith discretion that, under the circumstances at hand, it would be reasonable and prudent for the

Executive to engage independent counsel, the Company will reimburse the Executive’s reasonable attorney fees.

(d)

Relief. The Executive agrees that it would be difficult to measure any damages caused to the Company which might result from any breach by the Executive of the Continuing Obligations, and that in any event money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that if the Executive breaches, or proposes to breach, any portion of the Continuing Obligations, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies that it may have, to an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain any such breach without showing or proving any actual damage to the Company.

11.

Consent to Jurisdiction. The parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of the State of New Jersey. Accordingly, with respect to any such court action, the Executive (a) submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of such courts; (b) consents to service of process; and (c) waives any other requirement (whether imposed by statute, rule of court, or otherwise) with respect to personal jurisdiction or service of process.

12.

Integration. This Agreement, together with the Equity Documents and the Restrictive Covenants Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements between the parties concerning such subject matter, including, but not limited to, the Executive’s employment agreement with the Company dated as of April 20, 2018.

13.

Withholding; Tax Effect. All payments made by the Company to the Executive under this Agreement shall be net of any tax or other amounts required to be withheld by the Company under applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require the

Company to make any payments to compensate the Executive for any adverse tax effect associated with any payments or benefits or for any deduction or withholding from any payment or benefit.
