WHEREAS, Employee is currently employed with the Company in the position of Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer pursuant to the Employment Agreement dated as of October 1, 2020 between Employee and the Company (the “Employment Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the decision has been made to restructure the Employee’s position in a way that gives rise to Employee’s right to terminate the Employment Agreement for Good Reason effective as of June 28, 2022 and entitles Employee to the payment of certain contractual severance benefits as of such termination as set forth in Section 4.2 of the Employment Agreement and Section 3 of this Agreement;

WHEREAS, to preserve the continuity of the Company’s business, Employee and the Company desire to enter into a written agreement embodying their mutual understanding and promises concerning resolution of any and all issues related to Employee’s employment, his separation therefrom, and the transition of his duties on the terms set forth in this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Employee and the Company agree as follows:

1.Transition Period and Separation. Employee’s last day of work with the Company will be December 15, 2022 (the “Separation Date”). During the time period between the Effective Date and the Separation Date (the “Transition Period”), Employee will complete and transition previously assigned tasks and satisfactorily perform such other advisory duties as may be assigned to Employee by the Company (“Successful Transition”).

2.Final Pay, Paid Time Off and Other Compensation. When and as required by the Colorado Wage Act, the Company will deliver to Employee final pay in the amount of all accrued and unused vacation and all accrued and unpaid Base Salary earned through the Separation Date, subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings. During the Transition Period, notwithstanding any Company policy or practice to the contrary, any vacation or other paid time off to be taken by Employee must be approved in advance by the President and Chief Executive Officer (or his designee) in his sole discretion.

3.Contractual Severance Benefits. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, as of the date of this Agreement, Employee is entitled to certain monetary or other entitlements as set forth in Section 4.2 of the Employment Agreement in connection with a termination for Good Reason (collectively, the “Contractual Severance Benefits”). Payment of the Contractual Severance Benefits will be made in accordance with Section 6 hereof.

4.Transition Payment. In consideration of, and subject to, the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, upon a Successful Transition, the Company shall make the following additional payments to Executive (collectively, the “Transition Payment”):

(a)Base Salary. The Company will pay Employee his Base Salary through the Separation Date.

(b)2022 Bonus. In consideration of, and subject to, the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Employee shall receive a bonus for the 2022 fiscal year (the “2022 Bonus”) calculated using Employee’s target bonus. The calculation of the 2022 Bonus will be made following the Company’s normal-course performance evaluation cycle in early 2023 and will be performance-based with such performance being measured using a combination of goals set in early 2022 and additional goals/metrics related to a Successful Transition. Payment of the 2022 Bonus is expected to be made no later than March 30, 2023.

(c)Vesting of Non-Prorated Equity. In addition to the pro-rata vesting of Employee’s outstanding unvested equity grants associated with a resignation for Good Reason pursuant to the equity plan documents, the remainder of Employee’s non-prorated equity grants shall vest as follows:

(i)all remaining unvested Restricted Share Units shall immediately vest on the Separation Date and will be issued in common shares of the Company;

(ii)the Performance Share Units granted in January 2020 will vest in full and shall be redeemed in cash in March 2023, with the performance for such Performance Share Units being calculated based on the actual performance of such Performance Share Units through the grant period; and

(iii)all other remaining unvested Performance Share Units shall vest on the Separation Date and will be redeemed in cash within a reasonable time following the Separation Date, with the performance for such Performance Share Units being deemed to be at target.

5.Consulting Services. Following the Transition Period, and as further consideration for the Transition Payment, Employee agrees to provide up to 800 hours of consulting services to the Company free of charge during the 2023 calendar year. The Company and Employee will enter into a written Consulting Agreement documenting the specific consulting services to be provided.

6.Payments. The Transition Payment is conditioned on a Successful Transition and Employee’s execution of the second release specified in Section 17 below and, in respect of the Transition Payment, provision of the consulting services as set forth in Section 5. Except for those payments set forth in Section 3(d)(ii) and Section 4(b) to be made in March 2023, the Contractual Severance Benefits and the Transition Payment will be paid to Employee within a reasonable time following the Separation Date.

7.Equity Grants. Employee acknowledges that, other than as specifically set forth in this Agreement, any rights with respect to equity grants to which Employee may be entitled shall be governed by the terms of the applicable Equity Plans. For the avoidance of doubt, Employee will not receive any new equity grants following the Separation Date.

8.Expense Reimbursements. Employee agrees that, within thirty (30) days of the Separation Date, Employee will submit Employee’s final documented expense reimbursement statement reflecting all business expenses Employee incurred through the Separation Date, if any, for which Employee seeks reimbursement. The Company will reimburse Employee for these expenses pursuant to the Company’s regular business practice.

9.No Other Compensation or Benefits. Employee acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement in the above sections, Employee will not receive any additional compensation, severance or benefits after the Separation Date with respect to Employee’s employment by the Company.

11.Confidential and Proprietary Information Obligations. Employee will refrain from any unauthorized use or disclosure for any purpose of the Company’s proprietary or confidential information or materials. Any breach of Employee’s proprietary information obligations may cause the Company substantial harm and Employee agrees that the Company is entitled to specific performance of such obligations and may seek injunctive relief to enforce such obligations.

12.Confidentiality. The provisions of this Agreement will be held in strictest confidence by Employee, and will not be publicized or disclosed in any manner whatsoever; provided, however, that Employee may disclose this Agreement to (i) Employee’s immediate family; (ii) his attorneys, accountants, auditors, tax preparers, and financial advisors; and (iii) as necessary to enforce this Agreement or as otherwise required by law. In particular, and without limitation, Employee agrees not to disclose the terms of this Agreement to any current or former Company employee. Without affecting the comprehensive nature of the waivers and releases in Sections 16 and 17 below, Employee acknowledges that the severance payment described herein is not related to any allegations of sexual harassment or sexual abuse, and further acknowledges that he has not been subjected to any conduct that could constitute sexual harassment or sexual abuse at any time during Employee’s employment with the Company.
