The Executive Allocated Expenses will be more fully set forth in, and determined from time to time in the manner set forth in, Schedule 2.5 attached hereto, as such Schedule may be periodically amended and revised by the parties as set forth in this Section 2.5.

(b) Payment of Direct Compensation. In accordance with the Executive Employment Agreement, [____] agrees to (i) pay Executive [____]’s allocation of the annual cash bonus amounts with respect to services performed for the benefit of [____] in accordance with Section 4.3 of the Executive Employment Agreement with such allocation being equal to the Executive Percentage, (ii) grant Executive options to purchase shares of Series [__] Common Stock of [____] (“[____] Common Stock”) in accordance with Section 4.10 of the Executive Employment Agreement (the “Service Company Term Awards”) and (iii) grant Executive an annual award with respect to [____] Common Stock in accordance with Section 4.11 of the Executive Employment Agreement (the “Annual Executive Incentive Awards” and, together with the Service Company Term Awards, the “Equity Awards”). The compensation described in the preceding sentence is referred to herein as the “Direct Compensation.” [____] will be solely responsible for all liabilities associated with the Direct Compensation, including with respect to satisfaction of the obligations with respect to Annual Executive Incentive Awards on any

termination of Executive’s services with the Provider or [____]. The Direct Compensation will be more fully set forth in, and determined from time to time in the manner set forth in, Schedule 2.5 attached hereto, as such Schedule may be periodically amended and revised by the parties as set forth in this Section 2.5.

(i) The Executive Allocated Expenses shall include all cash severance payments and benefit continuation obligations owed to Executive by the Provider pursuant to Section 5 of the Executive Employment Agreement (“Severance Payments”). Furthermore, [____] may, in lieu of reimbursing Provider the Executive Percentage of any Severance Payments and in accordance with Section 5 of the Executive Employment Agreement, directly deliver shares of [____] Common Stock to Executive in satisfaction of a portion of its Executive Percentage of the Severance Payments (a “Share-Based Severance Payment”), provided, that, in the event [____] is unable or otherwise fails to deliver any Share-Based Severance Payment in [____] Common Stock, [____] shall deliver cash to Provider in an amount equal to the value of Share-Based Severance Payment otherwise required to be delivered to Executive by [____].

(ii) Following an Executive Service Termination (as defined below) under circumstances qualifying Executive for payment of a prorated annual bonus pursuant to Section 5.7 of the Executive Employment Agreement (the “Prorated Executive Bonus Payment”), [____] shall pay Executive the Prorated Executive Bonus Payment at the time such payment is due under the Executive Employment Agreement; provided, that, in the event [____] fails to pay the Prorated Executive Bonus Payment, it shall reimburse the Provider amounts paid by Provider in respect thereof.

(iii) The amounts set forth in this Section 2.5(c) shall be paid by [____] in addition to any Executive Termination Payment payable to Provider under Section 3.4 of this Agreement.

(iv) In the event of any termination of employment or Services of Executive, this Section 2.5 shall apply to any severance or other payments to be made by or allocated to [____][ in lieu of, and notwithstanding, Section 4.3 of this Agreement].

(d) Executive Percentage. The “Executive Percentage” for the period commencing January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 is set forth in Schedule 2.5 and thereafter the Executive Percentage and the Executive Allocated Expenses will be determined annually by the Provider, in consultation with [____] and the Executive, prior to each December 15th of the Term, pursuant to paragraph (e) below.

(e) Determination of Amounts and Allocations. Unless otherwise agreed between the Provider and [____], in consultation with Executive, the Executive Percentage will be determined consistent with the methodology described on Schedule 2.5. In addition, following any Significant Corporate Transaction, the Provider and [____], in consultation with Executive, will negotiate in good faith any appropriate adjustments to the Executive Percentage, Executive Allocated Expenses and Direct Compensation. In no event will any such adjustments apply

retroactively (without the prior written consent of Provider and [____] in consultation with the Executive and, with respect to any retroactive adjustments to Direct Compensation previously paid or awarded to Executive, without the prior written consent of Executive).

(i) The parties acknowledge and agree that the methodology described on Schedule 2.5 reflects a good faith estimate of the amount of time that the Provider estimates Executive will spend providing Services to [____] during the upcoming fiscal year and that the parties in making any good faith adjustments to the Executive Percentage may take into account such other factors as they deem relevant, including (for the avoidance of doubt) those described in clause (ii) below.

(ii) In the event of (1) a termination by Executive or any other company to whom Executive is providing service at the direction of Provider (each, an “Other Service Company”) of Executive’s services to such Other Service Company, (2) a Change in Control (as such term is defined in the Executive Employment Agreement) of any Other Service Company, (3) a Fundamental Corporate Event (as defined in the Executive Employment Agreement) with respect to the Provider or any Other Service Company, or (4) any other material change in circumstances with respect to the Provider or any Other Service Company following the last agreed adjustment to the Executive Percentage, Executive Allocated Expenses or Direct Compensation that, in each case, results in a change in the allocable percentage of time spent by Executive providing Services to [____], in the Executive Allocated Expenses or in the Direct Compensation (any such event in clause (1) through (4) inclusive, a “Significant Corporate Transaction”), the Provider and [____] shall promptly, and in good faith, renegotiate the Executive Percentage, Executive Allocated Expenses and Direct Compensation, in consultation with Executive, based on, among other things deemed relevant by the parties, the anticipated Services to be provided by Executive to [____] during any upcoming fiscal period and the amount of time that the Provider estimates Executive will spend providing Services to [____] during such time.

(iii) In the event of a dispute between the Provider and [____] as to the determination of the amount of the Executive Percentage, Executive Allocated Expenses or Direct Compensation, each of the Provider and [____] agrees to attempt, in good faith and in consultation with the Executive, to resolve the dispute as set forth in Section 7.16 of this Agreement.

(iv) It is intended that the payments by [____] to the Provider under this Agreement in respect of Executive Allocated Expenses and any Termination Payment, when combined with the payment of the Direct Compensation and any Prorated Executive Bonus Payment by [____] directly to Executive, are comparable to those which [____] would pay to a third party on an arm’s length basis for the same services.

(f) Provider as Payor. Notwithstanding Section 4.2 of this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Provider, and not [____], will be solely responsible for the payment of salaries, wages, benefits (including health insurance, retirement, and other similar benefits, if any), perquisites and other compensation applicable to Executive; provided, however, that [____] is responsible for the reimbursement to Provider of the Executive Percentage of the

Executive Allocated Expenses and payment of the Direct Compensation and any Prorated Executive Bonus Payment directly to Executive each as provided in this Section 2.5. The parties acknowledge that Executive will provide services directly to [____] in consideration for the receipt of the Direct Compensation and any Prorated Executive Bonus Payment. [Except as otherwise required by the terms of the Tax Sharing Agreement,] the Provider will be responsible for the payment of all federal, state, and local withholding taxes on the compensation of Executive (other than Direct Compensation and any Prorated Executive Bonus Payment) and other such employment related taxes as are required by law, and [____] will be responsible for the payment of all federal, state, and local withholding taxes on the Direct Compensation and any Prorated Executive Bonus Payment paid to Executive by [____] and other such employment related taxes as are required by law. Each of [____] and the Provider will cooperate with the other to facilitate the other’s compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances applicable to the employment of Executive by either party.

(g) Monthly Payment. [____] will pay the Provider, by wire or intrabank transfer of funds or in such other manner specified by the Provider to [____], in arrears on or before the last day of each calendar month beginning with January 2020, its allocated portion of the Executive Allocated Expenses then in effect, in monthly installments.

(h) No Duplication. For the avoidance of doubt, no Executive Allocated Expenses, Direct Compensation, Prorated Executive Bonus Payments or Executive Termination Payment (as defined below) will be included in the [Allocated Expenses or in the severance payments under Section 4.2 allocated to [____] pursuant to this Agreement][Services Fee].”

Amendment to Section 3.3. Section 3.3 of the Original Agreement is amended to insert the following as the last paragraph:
