NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

1.Nature of the Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions under which Advisor shall provide advisory services to CLEAR as set forth in Exhibit A (the “Advisory Services”).

2.Term.

(a)Advisor shall commence the Advisory Services on the date the roles of both President and Chief Financial Officer of Clear Secure Inc. are being performed by someone other than the Advisor (the “Start Date”) and shall continue until July 2, 2026, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Agreement or extended by mutual agreement of the Parties in order for Advisor to complete the Advisory Services (the “Initial Term”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Initial Term may be renewed on a month-to-month basis upon mutual written agreement of the Parties in (each, a “Renewal Term”; the Initial Term together with a Renewal Term, the “Term”). During the Term, Advisor shall be permitted to perform services for other entities so long as such services do not materially interfere with Advisor’s duties hereunder, violate any other covenant with CLEAR or would constitute a violation of the non-compete covenant set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of Alclear Holdings LLC (without regard to any limitation on time set forth therein).

(b)This Agreement may be terminated by either Party prior to the end of the Term as follows: (i) in the event that the other Party defaults or breaches in the performance of a material obligation of such Party under this Agreement, and such default is not cured within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice from the non-breaching Party describing the nature of the default; (ii) by mutual written consent of the Parties; or (iii) if the Advisor engages in conduct that constitutes “Cause” as defined in the Clear Secure, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”); provided, that, Cause shall be deemed amended with respect to Advisor as follows: (x) prong (i) of such definition shall state “(i) the Participant’s engaging in fraudulent, illegal or material dishonest conduct in respect of the Company or its Affiliates”, and (y) “ ‘poor performance’ shall not, in and of itself, constitute Cause.”

the Founder Award); provided, that Advisor shall be treated no less favorably than CLEAR’s other co-founder in the event of any adjustments to the co-founder’s Founder Award. For the avoidance of doubt, by the terms of the Founder Award, Advisor’s provision of the Advisory Services shall constitute “Continued Service” as defined in the Founder Award. Notwithstanding the terms of the Plan or an Award (as defined in the Plan), all other unvested Awards held by the Advisor shall be forfeited on the Start Date; provided that if the Start Date occurs before the first annual vesting date in 2025 of the Award granted February 29, 2024, Advisor will remain eligible for such 2025 annual vesting date.

Advisor authorizes and instructs the Company to, at any time on or after the Board End Date (that is, the date on which Advisor is no longer a member of the Board of Directors of the Company) as the Company elects (in its sole discretion), (a) convert all shares of Class D Common Stock beneficially owned by Advisor as of the date thereof into an equal number of shares of Class C Common Stock, and (b) convert all shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by Advisor as of the date thereof into an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock.

13.Severable. In the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provisions shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.

14.Waiver. The failure to enforce any provision of the Agreement will not be a waiver of our right to subsequent enforcement of the provision or any other provision of the Agreement.

15.Headings. Headings and captions are for convenience only and are not to be used in the interpretation of this Agreement.

16.Choice of Law. Any disputes arising under the Agreement will be governed by New York law without reference to conflict of law principles.

17.Survival. Sections 5, 6, 7, 8 and 11 through 19, and any other sections or subsections whose meaning requires them to survive, and any accrued payment obligations and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any right of action for breach of this Agreement prior to termination, shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
