Exhibit 10.1

Separation Agreement and Release

This Separation Agreement and Release (this “Agreement”), dated March 22, is entered into by and between Open Lending Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Keith Jezek (the “Executive”).

WHEREAS, the Executive, and the Company entered into an Employment Agreement dated as of October 6, 2022 (the “Employment Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Executive’s employment with the Company terminated effective as of March 22, 2024 (the “Separation Date”);

WHEREAS, the Executive and the Company desire to resolve and settle any and all claims that Executive has or may have against the Releasees (as defined below), including claims arising from any aspect of the Executive’s employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or the termination of the employment relationship.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual agreements and covenants set forth herein, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

1. Termination of Employment. The Executive’s employment with the Company and its subsidiaries terminated as of the Separation Date as a result of the Executive’s voluntary resignation other than for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement). The parties acknowledge and agree that the Executive provided a Notice of Termination (as defined in the Employment Agreement) on the Separation Date in accordance with Section 3(f) of the Employment Agreement, and that, pursuant to Section 3(g) of the Employment Agreement, the Date of Termination for purposes of the Separation Agreement shall be the Separation Date; provided, however, that the Company shall (i) continue to pay the Executive’s Base Salary (as defined in the Employment Agreement) for the 30-day period following the Separation Date, (ii) continue to pay the Executive’s sales commission for non-sales employees of the Company for the 30-day period following the Separation Date, and (iii) vest the portion of the Initial Equity Award (as defined in the Employment Agreement) that would have vested within the 30-day period following the Separation Date, in each case, less tax-related deductions and withholdings (the obligations in clauses (i)-(iii), the “Pay in Lieu of Notice Payments”). In accordance with Section 4(a) of the Employment Agreement, the Executive is entitled to the Accrued Benefits (as defined in the Employment Agreement). The parties acknowledge and agree that, other than the Pay in Lieu of Notice Payments and the Accrued Benefits, the Executive is not entitled to compensation of benefits as a result of his voluntary resignation other than for Good Reason absent this Agreement becoming effective and irrevocable. In accordance with Section 1(b) of the Employment Agreement, effective as of the Separation Date, the Executive was deemed to have resigned from all officer and board members positions that the Executive holds with the Company or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates.

2. Severance Pay and Benefits. Notwithstanding that, other than the Pay in Lieu of Notice Payments and the Accrued Benefits, the Executive is not entitled to any additional compensation or benefits as a result of the Executive’s voluntary resignation other than for Good Reason, provided that the Executive timely signs and does not timely revoke this Agreement, and complies at all times with this Agreement, the Company will provide the Executive with the Sevarance Pay and Benefits (as defined in the Employment Agreement), payable in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 4(c) of the Employment Agreement.

3. General Release of Claims. The Executive, on behalf of the Executive, the Executive’s spouse, heirs, administrators, representatives, executors, successors, assigns, and all other persons claiming through the Executive (collectively, “Releasors”), does hereby voluntarily, knowingly, and willingly release, waive, and forever discharge the Company, together with each of its past, present and future owners, parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, together with each of their current, former and future directors, officers, partners, agents, members, managers, insurers, employees, trustees, stockholders, investors, joint ventures, representatives, and attorneys, and each of their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, estates, predecessors, successors and assigns, both individually and in their official capacities (each, individually, a “Releasee” and collectively, the “Releasees”) from, and does fully waive any obligations of any of the Releasees to Releasors for, any and all rights, actions, charges, causes of action, demands, damages, claims for relief, complaints, remuneration, sums of money, losses, suits, debts, covenants, contracts, agreements, promises, obligations, demands, accounts, expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) and liabilities of any kind whatsoever, whether known or unknown, in law or in equity, contingent or absolute (collectively, “Claims”), which the Executive or any of the other Releasors ever had, now has, or may hereafter claim to have by reason of any matter, cause, act, omission or thing whatsoever: (a) arising from the beginning of time through the date the Executive executes this Release, including but not limited to, any such Claims (i) arising out of or relating in any way to the Executive’s employment with the Company or any other Releasee, (ii) arising out of or relating to tort, fraud or defamation, and (iii) arising under any federal, local or state statute or regulation, including, but not limited to, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (“ADEA”), the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, the Texas Labor Code (including, but not limited to, the Texas Payday Law and Chapter 21 of the Texas Labor Code, and Texas Commission of Human Rights Act), and the Texas Whistleblower Act, each as amended and including each of their respective implementing regulations and/or any other federal, state, local or foreign law (statutory, regulatory or otherwise) that may be legally waived and released; (b) arising out of or relating to the termination of the Executive’s employment; or (c) arising under or relating to any policy, agreement, understanding, or promise, written or oral, formal or informal, between the Company or any other Releasee and the Executive, including the Employment Agreement.

(b) Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §1833(b), the Executive will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret of the Company or any of its affiliates that (i) is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to the Executive’s attorney, and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. If the Executive files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, the Executive may disclose the trade secret to the Executive’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the Executive (1) files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and (2) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Nothing in this Agreement or any other agreement the Executive has with the Company or any of its affiliates is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. §1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by such section.

6. Restrictive Covenants. The Executive hereby reaffirms the Continuing Obligations (as defined in the Employment Agreement) and acknowledges and agrees that the Continuing Obligations remain in full force and are incorporated by reference as if set forth herein and executed on the date hereof.

The Executive understands and agrees that if the Executive materially violates any of the Continuing Obligations, in addition to the Company’s right to recover from the Executive any damages arising out of such violation and any other claims and/or remedies for breach of contract or otherwise that may be available at law or in equity: (a) the Company shall be entitled to receive an injunction without bond to restrain any such violation or further violation; and (b) if the violation either is not or cannot be cured, the Company shall not be obligated to pay the Executive any outstanding amount of the Severance Pay and Benefits.

7. Governing Law. This is a Texas contract and shall be construed under and be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles of such State.

The Executive agrees that the terms of this Agreement, including the economic terms, have been individually negotiated.

12. Amendments; Successors and Assigns; Invalidity. This Agreement may not be modified except in writing, signed by the Executive and by a duly authorized officer of the Company.

The Executive will have seven calendar days from the date on which Executive signs this Agreement to revoke the Executive’s consent to the terms of this Agreement by providing notice to the Company in accordance with Section 16 of the
