WHEREAS, Company and Executive desire to preserve the service relationship while altering the executive and officer relationship between them in a manner mutually beneficial to both Parties, including entering into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants and promises set forth herein, the adequacy of which is acknowledged by each of the Parties, it is hereby agreed as follows.

1.Cessation of Executive Relationship and Benefits Continuation Information. Executive’s relationship with Company as an Executive and officer shall cease March 6, 2023 (“Departure Date”), at which point Executive shall cease providing executive (including officer) services to Company (other than in the context of any cooperation required in the Executive Services Agreement and hereunder related to Executive’s prior roles as an executive and/or officer) and shall begin Consultant’s relationship with Company as a consultant and advisor (and thereby remain in a service relationship with Company) through December 31, 2023, subject to the termination provisions in Section 9.

Executive shall have a waivable period of twenty-one (21) days after the date on which this Agreement is delivered to Executive to consider whether or not to execute this Agreement. Executive may accept the offer contained in the Agreement at any time within the twenty-one (21) day period by signing it and delivering it to Company, unless withdrawn by the Company prior to acceptance. If Executive does so, the twenty-one (21) day period automatically ceases. If Executive does not accept the offer prior to the end of the twenty-one (21) day period, it shall be automatically revoked. The Releases in this Agreement (Section 20 and 21) shall be effective as of the eighth (8th) day after it is executed by Employee (“Effective Date”), provided the Agreement is not revoked by Executive pursuant to the “Age Claim Waiver” provisions in the Section entitled “Age Claim Waiver.” Notwithstanding the preceding, if Executive timely revokes the Releases (in Sections 20 and 21), Company shall have no further obligation to Executive under this Agreement.

The insurance benefits elected and enrolled in by Executive as of the Departure Date shall terminate as of March 31, 2023, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable plan documents, and thereafter shall be subject to continuation under federal or state law, as applicable. Executive will be notified in writing of the benefits that may be continued under COBRA or applicable state law, and of the terms, conditions, and limitations of such continuation (consistent with applicable law). As further consideration, Company agrees to reimburse Executive’s out of pocket COBRA expense for benefit continuation during the same time Executive provides consulting and advisory services to Company hereunder (not to go beyond reimbursement for such continuation through December 31, 2023, if the services go to full term), provided that Executive timely elects COBRA and promptly submits receipts to Company indicating proof of payment for any such month(s) for which Executive seeks COBRA reimbursement costs.

2.Commencement of Consulting and Advisor Relationship. Consultant agrees to provide the services set forth herein and will report directly to the Chief Executive Officer or as otherwise directed by the Chief Executive Officer in connection with the performance of services under this Agreement and

shall fulfill any other duties reasonably associated with and requested by the Company in connection with the services. The consulting and advisor services provided by Consultant and the preparation of and the manner, means, and method of delivery of the services shall be developed solely by Consultant based on Consultant’s best judgments of the consulting and advisor services required to assist the Company. This includes human resources, recruitment, product, sales, supply, personnel matters, and other subject areas related to Executive’s tenure as Chief Product Officer and leading the human resources-related functions.

3.Independent Contractor. Consultant shall control and determine the method and means by which the services shall be rendered, including the preparation, content, and structure of the services and when, where, and how the services are to be provided and the sequence of providing the services. Consultant’s status under this Agreement is that of an independent contractor and not that of an employee, agent, or representative of Company for any purpose (other than as a holder of Company’s equity).

Nothing contained in this Agreement requires Company to utilize Consultant’s services; however, from the Departure Date through December 31, 2023 (the “Exclusivity Period”), Consultant shall exclusively provide services to Company hereunder, and Consultant shall not work for or provide services to any other person or entity, provided the Parties agree that Consultant may serve on a Board or work directly with family members, provided no such activities violate the other terms and conditions of this Agreement (including but not limited to any and all restrictive covenants under which Consultant is obligated to Company including those incorporated by reference from Section D of the Executive Services Agreement and the subsequent employer notification requirements in the ESA (hereinafter the “ESA Restrictive Covenants”)). If Consultant seeks to provide any other services during the Exclusivity Period, Consultant shall seek prior written approval from Company’s Chief Executive Officer, which approval can be granted or withheld at the Chief Executive Officer’s sole discretion.

The Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate and schedule the services Consultant is providing hereunder in a manner that allows Consultant to pursue other personal activities. Company will use best efforts to recognize and accommodate Consultant’s scheduling of such other personal activities and to communicate with Consultant to schedule around such activities in a mutually beneficial manner. Nothing herein will be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between Consultant and Company.

This Agreement is NOT an employment agreement between Consultant and Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall have no effect on any part of any pre-existing or later entered into agreement by and between Consultant and Company regarding matters not addressed herein.

4.Professional Standards. Consultant acknowledges that many of the services are personal in nature and that the manner in which they are provided can affect the reputation of Company in the field of operating a live learning platform that seamlessly connects experts and learners in any subject, anywhere, anytime, and Consultant agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to perform such services in a professional manner that one would expect from a professional.

5.Compensation. As full compensation for the services rendered by Consultant hereunder,

a. Company shall pay Consultant every other week the amount of approximately $15,384.61 (an annualized rate of $400,000, which actual payment amounts will be calculated consistent with Company’s usual payroll practices) through December 31, 2023, subject to the termination provisions in Section 9 and the terms associated with the particular type of termination; and

b. Consultant shall remain eligible to vest in 32,375 Class B Shares/Nerdy LLC Units and 93,568 RSUs (the “Continued Equity”), subject to: (x)(i) Consultant either remaining in service to Company pursuant to this Agreement on such vesting date or Consultant terminating this Agreement under Section 9(c) prior to such date, and (ii) Consultant satisfying Consultant’s obligations during the Exclusivity Period; (y) there not being a termination by Company under Section 9 during the Exclusivity Period; and (z) there not being a termination by Consultant under Section 9(d) during the Exclusivity Period. For the avoidance of doubt, Consultant will forfeit the Continued Equity if Consultant does not satisfy the terms of the Exclusivity Period or violates the ESA Restrictive Covenants (provided such Continued Equity would remain subject to forfeiture, clawback, or other remedies for breach of restrictive covenants as more fully described in Section 28).

6.Forfeiture of Remaining Unvested Equity. The Parties agree that all Class B Shares/LLC Units that are not scheduled to vest on or before May 15, 2023 and any RSUs that are not scheduled to

vest on or before May 15, 2023 have been or shall be forfeited upon execution of this Agreement, as will all other unvested equity that is not specifically identified herein as being subject to continued vesting hereunder. During the term of this Agreement, Consultant shall not sell more than 100,000 of any shares from converted Class B Shares/Nerdy LLC Units or shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon settlement of RSUs during any seven (7) day period thereafter, unless currently reflected in the 10b5-1 Plan.

7.No Reimbursement of Expenses. Except as set forth herein, Company shall not be responsible for nor shall it reimburse Consultant for any expenses Consultant incurs in providing the services during the term of this Agreement, unless agreed to in writing by the Parties. Consultant’s sole compensation is set forth in the Section entitled “Compensation.”

8.Equipment and Tools. Consultant is an independent contractor and shall be fully responsible to provide all tools and materials necessary for Consultant to carry out the services, and Consultant shall ensure that Consultant possesses materials as are reasonably necessary for Consultant to provide the services in a complete and professional manner.

9.Term of Agreement; Termination. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Departure Date and shall continue through December 31, 2023 unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Agreement. Regardless of the nature of the termination of this Agreement, Consultant shall and hereby does grant to Company in that event all right, title, and interest, including all United States and international copyrights and all other intellectual property rights in the services and work performed in the form in which they exist on the date of termination, which form shall not materially differ from the status described in any reports that Consultant has submitted to Company. Moreover, after termination of this Agreement Consultant agrees to fully cooperate with Company in all matters related to the winding up of Consultant’s pending obligations and the orderly transfer of any such pending obligations to other employees or contractors of Company, which shall not exceed ten (10) business days.

a.    The foregoing term notwithstanding, if Consultant is convicted of any crime or offense (other than with respect to traffic violations) or is reasonably determined to have engaged in serious misconduct in connection with the performance of the services, Company may terminate the Agreement immediately and without prior written notice to Consultant. Company may also terminate the Agreement upon written notice to Consultant if Consultant materially breaches any provision of this Agreement (or surviving provision of the Executive Services Agreement), including but not limited to the Exclusivity Period, or any non-disparagement, non-competition, non-solicitation, inventions, or proprietary rights and confidentiality provisions herein, referenced herein, or otherwise applicable) that, if curable, is not cured within ten (10) business days following written notice of such breach, which written notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts or circumstances constituting or giving rise to such material breach. If this Agreement is terminated by Company for any of the preceding reasons, Consultant shall be entitled to a total of three (3) months’ pay from the Departure Date (minus any amount previously paid pursuant to Section 5(a); but not less than zero) and the resulting equity treatment prescribed under the Continued Equity in Section 5(b) based upon the actual date of termination.

b.    If this Agreement is terminated by Company for any reason other than those set forth in Section 10(a), Consultant shall be entitled to any remaining amounts under Section 5(a) (minus any amount previously paid pursuant to Section 5(a)) and vesting of all Continued Equity in Section 5(b).

c.    Consultant may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Company (pursuant to the Notice provision herein) if Company fails to timely remit when due payment required by Section 5 hereunder to Consultant, provided Company fails to cure the nonpayment issue raised in the notice within 15 business days, in which case Consultant shall be entitled to any remaining amounts under Section 5(a) (minus any amount previously paid pursuant to Section 5(a)) and vesting of all Continued Equity in Section 5(b).

d.    If this Agreement is terminated by Consultant for any reason other than the reason set forth in the preceding paragraph, Consultant shall be entitled to a total of three (3) months pay from the Departure Date (minus any amount previously paid pursuant to Section 5(a); but not less than zero).

e.    If Executive timely revokes the Releases (Sections 20 and 21), Company may terminate the Agreement without any further liability or obligation to Executive hereunder.

10.Contractor Tax Liability (post-Effective Date). Company shall not pay any federal, state, or local income tax, or any payroll tax of any kind and such taxes shall not be withheld or paid by the Company on Consultant’s behalf. Consultant acknowledges that Consultant shall not be treated as an

employee with respect to the services performed under this Agreement for any purpose, including federal or state tax purposes. Consultant understands and agrees that Consultant is responsible to pay Consultant’s income tax in accordance with federal, state, and local law and that all withholdings for taxes and social security and other required payments to be made on Consultant’s behalf shall be Consultant’s sole responsibility. Consultant acknowledges that Company will file all required reports with the Internal Revenue Service and appropriate state and local agencies, which may include Form K-1 and/or Form 1099-MISC and related state and local filings, in accordance with Company’s practices and in conjunction with advice from its outside tax advisors.

11.No Benefits. Consultant is an independent contractor and Consultant shall not be eligible for or entitled to any of Company’s pension, health, or other fringe benefit plans, if any, or any other benefits that Company may extend to its employees from time-to-time. The only benefits to which Consultant shall be eligible for or entitled to will be as expressly identified in this Agreement. Company is not obligated to obtain workers’ compensation or unemployment insurance on behalf of Consultant. Consultant shall comply with workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance laws concerning Consultant’s business, if applicable.

12.Executive Cooperation. During the term of this Agreement Executive agrees to reasonably cooperate with and provide assistance to Company and its legal counsel in connection with any litigation (including arbitration or administrative hearings) or investigations affecting Company, in which (in the reasonable judgment of Company) Executive’s assistance or cooperation is needed. If Company requests cooperation hereunder after the term of this Agreement, Company shall provide Consultant with reasonable compensation for such assistance, albeit the Parties acknowledge claims involving both Company and Executive may be treated differently depending on the particulars of the situation. The Company shall reimburse Executive for any and all reasonable expenses incurred by Executive in connection with such Company requested cooperation and assistance as it relates to cooperation solely for the benefit of Company (e.g. not if Executive is an independent party to or separately identified in any such proceeding), provided Executive notifies Company of such expenses before incurring them, obtains written approval from the Company regarding any such expenses, and agrees to reasonably coordinate with Company. The Parties further agree to pursue insurance coverage and consider a joint defense agreement, as appropriate, as well as providing Company the opportunity to incur such expenses directly (e.g. retaining counsel to represent the Company and Executive).

13.Executive Services Agreement; Departure Agreement. Consultant agrees to sign this Agreement (and the general release as required under the Executive Services Agreement) in order to be entitled to the benefits available to Executive in the event of a termination under the Executive Services Agreement. Consultant agrees that Consultant was not otherwise entitled to be engaged by Company as a consultant and advisor and was not otherwise entitled to the additional consideration set forth herein. The Compensation (as referenced in Section 5(a)) and the minimum three (3) month term of same (as referenced in Section 9(a) and 9(d)) includes and is in lieu of any accrued vacation, paid time off sick, or other paid leave to which Executive may have been entitled as of the Departure Date, as well as future bonuses, if any.

Except as otherwise provided herein, Executive shall not accrue any benefits, paid time off, vacation pay, 401(k) (including employee and Company contributions), holiday pay, personal days, etc. after the Departure Date. No other amounts are due Executive by Company, unless set forth herein.

14.Equity. The Parties agree that the number of Class B Shares/Nerdy LLC Units, Earnout Shares, Warrants, and RSUs held by Executive are accurately captured in this Agreement. Executive has no other equity in Company (other than what is set forth herein, assuming this Agreement is executed and not revoked).

15.Professional Accounting and Tax Services. Company hereby agrees to pay for Executive’s 2022 and 2023 tax years professional accounting and tax services provided by the Company’s tax accountant (currently E&Y, but Executive may instead use BDO if Executive has continued to use Company’s former tax accountant) in the same amount paid by Company for other current executives (for the 2021 tax year it was $7,900, but it is expected to return to $6,000 for all covered executives as the additional amount related to the 2021 transaction), to assist Executive with Executive’s accounting and tax filing related to Executive’s K-1 status with Company and determining Executive’s resulting tax obligations. Executive, like other current executives, will be responsible to pay any amounts beyond the set annual amount agreed to be paid by the Company for each executive (and each of the executives that have participated in this historically shall receive the same set amount). Executive has agreed to or hereby agrees to cooperate and authorize the Company to file a composite return for the 2022 and 2023 tax years

and to timely reimburse the Company for any payments made by Company on Executive’s behalf related to the Company’s tax filings, provided Company will provide Executive documentation with respect to the amounts advanced and how calculated. Company hereby reserves its rights with respect to advancing such tax payments and seeking repayment of same under the Operating Agreement; however, Executive authorizes Company to withhold $1,315.00 per pay period5 from Executive’s Compensation to satisfy any tax payments made by Company on Executive’s behalf related to the 2022 and 2023 tax years (with such amounts reported in calendar year 2023 and 2024 tax filings, respectively). The Parties agree to reconcile the withheld amounts related to 2022 and 2023 tax years as part of the Company completing and submitting its 20226 and 2023 federal and state taxes, with the Company refunding to Executive the difference between the amount withheld and a lower actual amount and Executive paying to Company any amounts in excess of the amount withheld that were advanced by Company on behalf of Executive, if any, once the final tax returns for the 2023 tax year are submitted (which should be on or about April 15, 2024).

16.Tutoring Services. From the date of this Agreement through December 31, 2023, Executive may continue to use any hours of tutoring services available through Varsity’s platform that remained in Executive’s account as of the date this Agreement was executed (as Executive was entitled to 52 hours annually). For 2024, the Company shall provide Executive with 52 hours of tutoring services (with additional hours available for purchase at the friends and family rate in place at the time of purchase). For 2025, Executive shall be eligible for the friends and family rate established by the Company, at whatever rate is then available for purposes of friends and family pricing, provided Executive has executed or executes the then current version of the standard Terms of Customer Account Use, is compliant therewith, and that the platform and service is available where Executive resides.

17.Non-Admission of Liability. Company and Executive agree that nothing contained in this Agreement is an admission or evidence of any wrongdoing by any Party. This Agreement may not be introduced into evidence except in a proceeding to enforce it.

18.Non-Disparagement. Executive agrees that Executive will not at any time after the Departure Date and for 36 months thereafter disparage, criticize, or make any negative comments regarding the Company (including its directors, officers, employees, and representatives) or take or omit to take any action the effect of which is to criticize or otherwise disparage them in any way. The Company agrees (through its Chief Executive Officer and/or Chief Legal Officer) to direct a request to each then current board member and each then current officer within one week after the Effective Date that they not disparage, criticize, or make any negative comments regarding the Executive. Executive further agrees that Executive will not interfere in any manner with the business of Company, or its directors, officers, employees, or representatives. Nothing in this Section 18 shall prohibit Executive or the Company from providing truthful information in response to a subpoena or other legal process.

19.Reinstatement and Professional Reference. Executive agrees that Executive does not wish, does not seek, and does waive any claim for reinstatement with Company and its successors and hereby agrees not to re-apply to Company at any time after this Agreement has been fully executed. Company will provide a neutral reference regarding Executive’s dates of service and title with Company, unless the reference is directed to Chuck Cohn, Company’s CEO, in which case a professional reference will be provided (in addition to supplying the information that would be provided as part of a neutral reference). Notwithstanding the preceding, with written consent and authorization from Executive, Executive may seek professional references from other representatives of Company (including officers and members of the Board of Directors), and those from whom such professional references are sought hereunder will not be prohibited from Company from providing such professional references.

20.Executive General Release. Executive, in consideration of the Compensation, Continued Equity vesting, and other valuable consideration outlined herein, and with the intent of binding Executive and Executive’s heirs, personal representatives, administrators, successors, and assigns, hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges Company and Company’s present, former, and future owners, directors, members, managers, officers, employees, agents, contractors, attorneys, divisions, subsidiaries, predecessors, successors, related companies, and members of all of them (the “Released Parties”), from

Company and Executive agree that to the extent Executive may have a right to file or participate in a claim or charge against Company that is not releasable, this Agreement shall not be intended to release, waive or otherwise extend to such a right, if any.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, this Release does not extend to the obligations created, confirmed, amended, or extended by this Agreement, including any claim to enforce this Agreement, and any claims that arise hereafter related to the equity memorialized herein, to the extent such claims or causes of action are initiated by another shareholder or member and arise out of actions or failures to act that affect more than one owner or member. Furthermore, this Release shall not extend to any claim arising out of actions that have been concealed and were not discoverable with reasonable due diligence prior to execution of this Agreement solely as it relates to Executive’s status as a shareholder, Company’s performance of this Agreement, or to any obligations created, confirmed, amended, or extended by this Agreement. Furthermore, this Release shall not extend to any claim for indemnification or fiduciary insurance pursuant to (i) the Articles of Organization (including all versions thereof), (ii) the Operating Agreement (including all versions thereof), or (iii) other agreements with the Company, provided any such claim shall be subject to the applicable terms and conditions of the applicable document/agreement (and subject to any statutory limitations).

21.Age Claim Waiver. Executive understands that there is included within the Release given by Executive in the immediately preceding section a release and waiver of all rights and claims Executive may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. § 621 et seq. (the “ADEA”). In order to comply with the ADEA, Company hereby advises Executive as follows:

a.    Executive has the right, and is encouraged to, consult with an attorney prior to executing this Agreement.

b.    The waiver and release of rights and claims under the ADEA pertains only to rights and claims arising on or before the Effective Date of this Agreement, but not to rights and claims under the ADEA that arise after the Effective Date of this Agreement.

c.    Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the release of rights and claims in this Agreement shall not become effective until seven (7) days have passed following the date on which it is executed by Executive. During said 7-day period, Executive may revoke the release of rights and claims in this Agreement by notice in writing to Company (pursuant to the Notice provision herein), in which case the release of rights and claims in this Agreement shall be null and void and unenforceable by either party, and Executive shall not be entitled to receive the any consideration from Company whatsoever.

d.    Executive shall have a period of twenty-one (21) days after the date on which this Agreement is delivered to Executive to consider whether or not to execute it.

Executive represents and warrants that Executive freely and knowingly, and after due consideration and having the opportunity to consult with an attorney, enters into this Agreement intending to waive, settle, and release all claims Executive has or might have against Company as of the Effective Date. Nothing in this Agreement shall have the effect or be interpreted as having the effect of imposing any condition precedent, penalty, or other limitation adversely affecting Executive’s right to challenge the validity of the ADEA waiver and release.

22.Executive Covenant Not to Sue. Executive further understands that by signing this Agreement, Executive is agreeing to not file any claims or lawsuits against the Released Parties with any court or government agency. Executive further understands that this Agreement does not limit Executive’s ability to communicate with any government agency or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any government agency, including providing documents or other information, provided if Executive is requested to participate in any lawsuit, other proceeding, or investigation conducted by any government agency against any of the Released Parties, then to the extent permitted by law, Executive agrees to immediately notify Company’s Chief Legal Officer, unless prohibited from doing so by law. The Parties agree that to the extent, if any, Executive may have any non-waivable rights to file or participate in a claim or charge against any of the Released Parties, this Agreement shall not be intended to waive such a right. However, even if Executive has a right to file or participate in a claim (this waiver is not intended to cover whistleblower claims) or charge against any of the Released Parties, Executive agrees that Executive shall not obtain, and hereby waives Executive’s right to, any relief of any kind from such non-whistleblower claim or charge.

23.Executive Acknowledgements, Representations, and Warranties. As a material inducement for the Company to enter into this Agreement, Executive represents and warrants that, as of the date of this Agreement, Executive is aware of no liabilities, obligations, or claims (absolute, accrued, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, or otherwise), including liabilities, obligations or claims that may become known or which arise only after the date of this Agreement and that result from actions, omissions, or occurrences of Executive, that Executive has not disclosed to Company.

24.Confidentiality of Terms. Executive represents and agrees that Executive will keep the terms, amount, and fact of this Agreement and any prior offers of or demands for severance pay and all matters pertaining to Executive’s departure, including but not limited to the reasons therefore and the negotiations pertaining thereto, completely confidential, and will not disclose, divulge or publicize, directly or indirectly, to any third party the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any matters pertaining to Executive’s departure except as may be necessary to establish or assert rights hereunder or as may be required by law or applicable regulation; provided, however, that Executive may, on a confidential basis, disclose this Agreement to Executive’s spouse, financial advisors, and attorneys. Executive also acknowledges that the Company must file this Agreement under applicable securities laws.

25.Confidential Information. Executive will not at any time, except as it relates to providing consulting services hereunder, as authorized by Company in writing, or as required by any law, rule, or regulation after providing prior written notice to Company within sufficient time for Company to object to production or disclosure or quash subpoenas related to the same, directly or indirectly, use for Executive’s benefit or for the benefit of others, or disclose, communicate, divulge, furnish to, or convey to any other person, firm, or company, any secret or confidential information, knowledge or data of Company or that of third parties obtained by Executive during the period of Executive’s relationship with Company, and such information, knowledge or data includes, without limitation, the following: (1) secret or confidential matters of a technical nature such as, but not limited to, methods, know-how, formulations, compositions, processes, computer programs, and similar items or research projects involving such items, (2) secret or confidential matters of a business nature such as, but not limited to, marketing policies or strategies, information about costs, profits, marketing, customers, or experts, lists of customers or experts, personnel information, and financial information, and (3) secret or confidential matters pertaining to future developments such as, but not limited to, research and development or future marketing.

Any documents and property in any way related to Company, its employees and/or its customers shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of Company (“Company Documents”) and any Company Documents in the possession of Executive will be returned to Company before the Effective Date and the return of such Company Documents shall be a condition

precedent to the payment of the Compensation. The term “document” is used in the broadest sense and includes, but is not limited to meaning, any writing or recording, graphic or other matter, whether produced, reproduced or stored on any medium. Executive also swears and affirms that Executive has not retained for Executive’s own purposes or provided to any third parties any Company property that Executive created or obtained during the course of Executive’s relationship with Company, whether as original or copies. If Executive fails to return any Company hardware and/or software, Company may pause its obligations hereunder and shall not be obligated to provide any of the consideration hereunder,as well as pursue any and all other remedies available hereunder or at law.

Executive further agrees to the ESA Restrictive Covenants being incorporated herein by this reference and that such restrictions shall be binding during the term of this Agreement and the post termination terms therein shall be extended (or tolled) until the termination of this Agreement. For purposes of clarity, entering into this Agreement shall not constitute a termination of the Executive Services Agreement for purposes of the ESA Restrictive Covenants that survive by their terms, such that they will remain in effect during this Agreement (as Executive’s services hereunder during the term of the Agreement constitute a relationship with Company for purposes of the ESA Restrictive Covenants) and for the period of time set forth in the Executive Services Agreement after the relationship under this Agreement terminates.

28.Remedies and Indemnification. In the event of any breach of this Agreement by either Party, the Parties shall be entitled to all remedies provided at law or in equity. Certain rights set forth in this Agreement cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated by damages in an action at law, and Executive agrees that in such event, Company shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief in the event of, or to prevent, a breach of any provision of this Agreement by Executive (including any and all remedies in the Section entitled “Specific Performance”).

Consultant further agrees that in the event Consultant breaches any of the restrictive covenants herein including the ESA Restrictive Covenants, Consultant shall forfeit, be responsible for the equivalent value of the Continued Equity, or the Continued Equity shall be subject to clawback, in addition to any other remedies the Company may pursue under this Agreement. Company shall have the right to determine what remedy or remedies to pursue hereunder at its sole discretion.

Additionally, Executive shall defend, indemnify, protect, and hold harmless Company (including its agents, members, employees, managers, officers, or assigns) from and against all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), orders, awards, caused by, as a result of or arising out of (i) Executive’s failure to perform any of the agreements, duties, or obligations of Executive contained in this Agreement or (ii) a breach of any agreement, covenant, representation, or warranty made by Executive in this Agreement. In addition to Company’s right to indemnification hereunder, Company shall also be entitled to a return of all but $50,000.00 of the Compensation paid to Executive as part of this Agreement as partial damages for any violation of Section 22 entitled the “Executive Covenant Not to Sue”, in addition to any other damages resulting therefrom and the specific performance available hereunder, provided to the extent Executive may have an unwaivable or non-releasable right to file or participate in a claim or charge of any kind in connection with Executive’s relationship with Company against any of the parties released hereunder, this Agreement shall not be intended to waive such a right. If Executive or anyone acting on Executive’s behalf initiates or prosecutes any administrative, judicial, or other action arising out of or in any way related to any claims, demands, damages, charges, or causes of action released in this Agreement, Executive shall reimburse Company for the full amount of the Compensation and Continued Equity vesting except for $50,000.00, and shall be liable for payment of all other costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Company as a result of any such action or breach.
