Dear Steven:

Synacor, Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to offer you employment on the following terms:

1.Position.  Your initial title will be Senior Vice President of Engineering, and you will initially report to the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, Scott Bailey. This is a full-time exempt position. While you render services to the Company, you will not engage in any other employment, consulting or other business activity (whether full-time or part-time) that would create a conflict of interest with the Company. By signing this letter agreement, you confirm to the Company that you have no contractual commitments or other legal obligations that would prohibit you from performing your duties for the Company.

2.Cash Compensation.  The Company will pay you a starting salary at the rate of $300,000 per year, payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll schedule. This salary will be subject to adjustment pursuant to the Company’s employee compensation policies in effect from time to time. In addition, you will be eligible to be considered for an incentive bonus for each fiscal year of the Company. The bonus (if any) will be awarded based on objective or subjective criteria established by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Your target bonus will be equal to 35% of your annual base salary. Any bonus for the fiscal year in which your employment begins will be prorated, based on the number of days you are employed by the Company during that fiscal year. The bonus for a fiscal year will be paid after the Company’s books for that year have been closed (but in any event within 2Y2 months after the close of that fiscal year), but only if you are employed by the Company at the time of payment. The determinations of the Board with respect to your bonus will be final and binding.

3.Employee Benefits.  As a regular employee of the Company, you will be eligible to participate in a number of Company-sponsored benefits. In addition, you will be entitled to paid vacation in accordance with the Company’s vacation policy, as in effect from time to time.

4.Stock Options.  Subject to the approval of the Board or its Compensation Committee, you will be granted an option to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Option”). The exercise price per share of the Option will be determined by the Board or its Compensation Committee when the Option is granted. The Option will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to options granted under the Company’s 2012 Stock Plan (the “Plan”), as described in the Plan and the applicable Stock Option Agreement. The Option will be immediately exercisable, but in the event that your service terminates for any reason before you vest in the shares, the unvested portion of the purchased shares will be subject to repurchase by

the Company at the lower of (a) the original exercise price or (b) the fair market value of the shares at the time your service terminates. You will vest in 25% of the Option shares after 12 months of continuous service, and the balance will vest in equal monthly installments over the next 36 months of continuous service, as described in the applicable Stock Option Agreement.

5.Restricted Stock Units.  Subject to the approval of the Board or its Compensation Committee, you will be granted 50,000 Restricted Stock Units. The price per share of the RSU will be determined by the Board or its Compensation Committee when the RSU is granted. The RSU will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to RSUs granted under the Company’s 2012 Stock Plan (the “Plan”), as described in the Plan and the applicable RSU Agreement. You will vest in 25% of the RSUs after 12 months of continuous service, and the balance will vest in equal monthly installments over the next 36 months of continuous service, as described in the applicable RSU Agreement.

6.Severance Pay.

(a)General.  If following your completion of 12 months of continuous service with the Company the Company terminates your employment because of a requirement for your position to be relocated to Buffalo, NY (a “Qualified Termination”), then you will be entitled to the benefits described in this Section 6. However, this Section 6 will not apply unless you (i) have returned all Company property in your possession, (ii) and have executed a general release of all claims that you may have against the Company or persons affiliated with the Company. The release must be in the form prescribed by the Company, without alterations. You must execute and return the release on or before the date specified by the Company in the prescribed form (the “Release Deadline”). The Release Deadline will in no event be later than 40 days after your Separation. If you fail to return the release on or before the Release Deadline, or if you revoke the release, then you will not be entitled to the benefits described in this Section 5.

(b)Salary Continuation.  If you experience a Qualified Termination, then the Company will continue to pay your base salary for a period of six (6) months after your Separation. Your base salary will be paid at the rate in effect at the time of your Separation and in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll procedures. The salary continuation payments will commence on the Company’s first payroll that occurs on or following the 61’ day after your Separation and, once they commence, will include any unpaid amounts accrued from the date of your Separation.

(c)Section 409A.  For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each salary continuation payment under Section 6(b) is hereby designated as a separate payment. If the Company determines that you are a “specified employee” under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code at the time of your Separation, then (i) the salary continuation payments under Section 6(b), to the extent that they are subject to Section 409A of the Code, will commence during the seventh month after your Separation and (ii) the installments that otherwise would have been paid during the first six months after your Separation will be paid in a lump sum when the salary continuation payments commence.

8.Employment Relationship.  Employment with the Company is for no specific period of time. Your employment with the Company will be “at will,” meaning that either you or the Company may terminate your employment at any time and for any reason, with or without cause. Any contrary representations that may have been made to you are superseded by this letter agreement. This is the full and complete agreement between you and the Company on this term. Although your job duties, title, compensation and benefits, as well as the Company’s personnel policies and procedures, may change from time to time, the “at will” nature of your employment may only be changed in an express written agreement signed by you and a duly authorized officer of the Company (other than you).

9.Withholding Taxes.  All forms of compensation referred to in this letter agreement are subject to reduction to reflect applicable withholding and payroll taxes and other deductions required by law. You are encouraged to obtain your own tax advice regarding your compensation from the Company. You agree that the Company does not have a duty to design its compensation policies in a manner that minimises your tax liabilities, and you will not make any claim against the Company or the Board related to tax liabilities arising from your compensation.

10.Interpretation, Amendment and Enforcement.  This letter agreement and Exhibit A constitute the complete agreement between you and the Company, contain all of the terms of your employment with the Company and supersede any prior agreements, representations or understandings (whether written, oral or implied) between you and the Company. This letter agreement may not be amended or modified, except by an express written agreement signed by both you and a duly authorized officer of the Company. The terms of this letter agreement and the resolution of any disputes as to the meaning, effect, performance or validity of this letter agreement or arising out of, related to, or in any way connected with, this letter agreement, your employment with the Company or any other relationship between you and the Company (the “Disputes”) will be governed by New York law, excluding laws relating to conflicts or choice of law. You and the Company submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in New York in connection with any Dispute or any claim related to any Dispute.

11.Definitions.  The following terms have the meaning set forth below wherever they are used in this letter agreement:

“Cause” means (a) your unauthorized use or disclosure of the Company’s confidential information or trade secrets, which use or disclosure causes material harm to the Company, (b) your material breach of any agreement between you and the Company, (c) your material failure to comply with the Company’s written policies or rules, (d) your conviction of, or your plea of “guilty” or “no contest” to, a felony under the laws of the United States or any State, (e) your gross negligence or willful misconduct, (f) your continuing failure to perform assigned duties after receiving written notification of the failure from the Board or (g) your failure to cooperate
