The Executive shall be deemed to have resigned as of the CEO Separation Date, to the extent applicable, as an officer and director of the Company and EVgo Inc. and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, including Holdings and Management Holdings (collectively, the “Company Group”), as a member of the board of directors or similar body of any member of the Company Group and as a fiduciary of any Company Group benefit plan. Following the CEO Separation Date, the Executive shall remain a full-time employee of the Company, serve as a Strategic Advisor to the Company and provide transition services from the CEO Separation Date through December 31, 2023 (such period, the “Transition Period”). During the Transition Period, the Executive shall not commence any employment with any other employer; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, during the Transition Period, the Executive may continue to maintain the outside activities that the Executive had been performing immediately prior to the commencement of the Transition Period. For the avoidance of doubt, during the Transition Period, the Executive shall be entitled to take vacation and paid time off, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable plans and policies. During the Transition Period, the Executive will provide transition assistance and advice as set forth on Schedule A and as reasonably requested from time to time by the new Chief Executive Officer or the board of directors of EVgo Inc.

The Executive agrees that, on the Separation Date, the Employment Agreement shall end (except as otherwise provided herein) and the Executive shall have no further rights thereunder; provided, however, that the Executive shall continue to be subject to the obligations in the Employment Agreement that survive the cessation of the Executive’s employment.

 

2. Benefits and Payments in Connection with Transition

 

A.    Accrued Benefits. No later than the first payroll date following the Separation Date (or such earlier date as required by law), the Company shall pay to the Executive a cash lump sum payment in respect of any base salary earned but not yet paid through the Separation Date and any accrued but unused vacation/paid time off through the Separation Date. The Executive shall be awarded an amount in respect of the Executive’s 2023 cash bonus, which amount shall be determined by the Board in accordance with the method and manner in which the Board determines the 2023 cash bonus for other senior executives of the Company, which amount shall be payable at the same time that annual bonuses are generally payable to other senior executives of the Company (but not later than March 15, 2024).

 

B.    Business Expenses. The Company shall pay the Executive for any unreimbursed business expenses or other amounts due to the Executive as of the Separation Date, subject to and in accordance with Company policy.

The Executive is required to execute and deliver to the Company the Release attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”) on the CEO Separation Date and to re-execute the Release on the Separation Date. Subject to, and wholly contingent upon, the Executive (i) executing and delivering the Release as contemplated by the immediately prior sentence and the Release becoming irrevocable, (ii) complying with the terms of this Agreement (including serving through the end of the Transition Period), and (iii) continuing to comply with Sections 7 through 23 of the Employment Agreement, (w) the Executive shall vest in the Unvested Time Units on January 16, 2024, (x) for vesting, settlement, and exercisability purposes only of the Equity Agreements, the Executive shall be deemed to have remained in continuous employment with the Company or an affiliate through April 30, 2024 (which shall result in additional vesting as set forth on Schedule B), (y) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Unit Grant Agreement, the Sale Vesting Units shall remain eligible to vest upon the consummation of a Sale of the Company (as amended and restated below) if and only if, in the six-month period following the Separation Date, either (1) a Sale of the Company occurs or (2) a definitive agreement is executed that if the transaction(s) contemplated by such documentation were effectuated such transaction(s) would constitute a Sale of the Company and such Sale of the Company is consummated (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that if such definitive agreement is abandoned or is not consummated, the Sale Vesting Units will be forfeited), and (z) all vested Tracking Units (including those that vest after giving effect to the provisions contained in this Section 2.C) and the Subscribed Units remain subject to the repurchase provisions contained in the Unit Grant Agreement and Subscription Agreement; provided, that, notwithstanding anything therein to the contrary, the vested Tracking Units and the Subscribed Units may not be repurchased with a promissory note.

 

For purposes of this Agreement and the Unit Grant Agreement, “Sale of the Company” means (x) the consummation of any transaction or series of related transactions, pursuant to which any Person or group of related Persons, other than Investors and their controlled Affiliates, in the aggregate acquire(s) (i) all or substantially all of the equity securities of Holdings (whether by merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination, asset sale or Transfer of Company Equity Securities, securityholder or voting agreement, proxy, power of attorney or otherwise) or (ii) all or substantially all of Holdings’ assets determined on a consolidated basis or (y) the date on which EVgo Holdings, LLC’s aggregate ownership of Class A Shares and Class B Shares in EVgo Inc. is less than 50% of the aggregate number of Class A Shares and Class B Shares held by EVgo Holdings, LLC in EVgo Inc. as of July 1, 2021, as adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations, exchanges of shares or other like changes or transactions such that the measure of aggregate ownership is consistent with the calculation made as of July 1, 2021; provided, that neither a Public Offering nor a Public Sale shall constitute a Sale of the Company.

 

3.  Restrictive Covenants; Return of Company Property

 

The Executive will continue to be subject to all restrictive covenants in accordance with their terms to which the Executive is currently subject, including the covenants set forth in the Employment Agreement and such sections are incorporated herein by reference.

2.       Except as provided in paragraph 5 below and except for the provisions of the Transition Agreement (including for the avoidance of doubt provisions incorporated by reference to the Employment Agreement (as defined in the Transition Agreement)) that expressly survive the termination of my employment with the Company, I knowingly and voluntarily (for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns) release and forever discharge the Released Parties from any and all claims, suits, controversies, actions, causes of action, cross-claims, counter-claims, demands, debts, compensatory damages, liquidated damages, punitive or exemplary damages, other damages, claims for costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, or liabilities of any nature whatsoever in law and in equity, both past and present (through the date this General Release becomes effective and enforceable) and whether known or unknown, suspected, or claimed against any of the Released Parties which I, my spouse, or any of my heirs, executors, administrators or assigns, may have, which arise out of, or relate to, or are connected with any equity awards granted to me by and of the Released Parties, any equity ownership in any of the Released Parties, and my employment with, or my separation or termination from, the Company (including, but not limited to, any allegation, claim or violation, arising under: the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA); the California Labor Code; the California Constitution; the California Family Rights Act (CFRA); the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA); Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (including the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act); the Equal Pay Act of 1963, as amended; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; the Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; any applicable Executive Order Programs; the Fair Labor Standards Act; or their state or local counterparts; or under any other federal, state or local civil or human rights law, or under any other local, state, or federal law, regulation or ordinance; or under any public policy, contract or tort, or under common law; or arising under any policies, practices or procedures of the Company; or any claim for wrongful discharge, breach of contract, infliction of emotional distress, defamation; or any claim for costs, fees, or other expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees incurred in these matters) (all of the foregoing collectively referred to herein as the “Claims”).

4.       I expressly acknowledge that I am familiar with Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides as follows:

Notwithstanding the above, I further acknowledge that I am not waiving and am not being required to waive any right that cannot be waived under law (including, without limitation, the right to file an administrative charge or participate in an administrative investigation or proceeding); provided that I disclaim and waive any right to share or participate in any monetary award resulting from the prosecution of such charge or investigation or proceeding.

 

7.       In signing this General Release, I acknowledge and intend that it shall be effective as a bar to each and every one of the Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied. I expressly consent that this General Release shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms and provisions, including, without limitation, those relating to unknown and unsuspected Claims (notwithstanding any state statute that expressly limits the effectiveness of a general release of unknown, unsuspected and unanticipated Claims), if any, as well as those relating to any other Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied. I acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential and material term of this General Release.

11.     The non-disclosure provisions in this General Release do not prohibit or restrict me (or my attorney) from responding to any inquiry about this General Release or its underlying facts and circumstances by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., any other self-regulatory organization or governmental entity.

 

12.      I agree to reasonably cooperate with the Company in any internal investigation, any administrative, regulatory, or judicial proceeding or any dispute with a third party.

The Company agrees to instruct its directors and executive officers not to criticize, denigrate, or otherwise disparage me. I further agree that as of the date on which I execute this General Release a second time, I have returned to the Company any and all property, tangible or intangible, relating to the Company’s business, which I possessed or had control over at any time (including, but not limited to, company-provided credit cards, building or office access cards, keys, computer equipment, manuals, files, documents, records, software, customer data base and other data) and that I shall not retain any copies, compilations, extracts, excerpts, summaries or other notes of any such manuals, files, documents, records, software, customer data base or other data.

 

14.      Notwithstanding anything in this General Release to the contrary, this General Release shall not relinquish, diminish, or in any way affect any rights or claims arising out of any breach by the Company or by any Released Party of the Transition Agreement after the date hereof.
