In accordance with the provisions of Article R.4624-10 of the French Labour Code, the Employee shall have a medical information and prevention visit within three months of taking up her position.

The single declaration of employment of the Employee will be made by the Company to the competent URSSAF, with which the Company is registered.

The Employee is hereby informed that during the term of this Agreement, she shall have a professional interview every two years from the date of hire.

The professional interview is devoted to the prospects for professional development, particularly in terms of qualifications and employment. It also includes information on the validation of acquired experience.

a.The Employee will be hired on an open-ended contract as of April 1st, 2021 as Chief Financial Officer of the Travelzoo Group, executive status, position 3.4, according to the Collective Agreement of Advertising (IDCC 86) of which the Employee acknowledges having been able to review beforehand and which she can consult on www.legifrance.fr .

–2 weeks for more than 1 month of employment.

    If the trial period is terminated by the Employee, the Company must be notified in writing within:

    The termination of the Agreement takes effect at the end of the notice period and, at the latest, on the last day of the trial period.

a.As Chief Financial Officer, the Employee will be responsible for overseeing, controlling and directing all of the Travelzoo Group's financial activities and operations worldwide, in accordance with the global strategy defined with her superior.

b.The Parties agree that the list of duties described above is not exhaustive and that the Company reserves the right to modify the content thereof without such modification constituting in any way a modification of this Agreement, which the Employee expressly acknowledges by signing this Agreement. However, in the event that such changes are made, they shall not materially alter the nature of Employee's duties.

c.The Employee will perform all her duties under the authority of the Company and under the control of the Travelzoo Group's Chairman or the Travelzoo Group's Global Chief Executive Officer (CEO), to whom she will report regularly.

Given the nature of the Employee’s duties, in order to meet the Company's needs, the Employee may be asked to travel and work in one of the Company's offices in France or abroad, with reasonable prior notice. Such travel shall constitute a maximum of 30% of the Employee's working time each quarter, which she expressly accepts, without this constituting a change to this Agreement.

In consideration for the performance of the Employee’s duties, the Employee shall receive a gross annual salary of € 350,000, paid in twelve (12) monthly instalments, representing a gross monthly salary of € 29,166.67.

Given the Employee’s level of remuneration, the nature of her duties and the actual conditions under which she performs them, implying a high degree of independence in the organization of her schedule and allowing her to make decisions in a largely autonomous manner, it is agreed that the Employee's gross remuneration is the lump-sum consideration for her employment and is independent of the number of working hours that she will have actually devoted to the accomplishment of her mission, as the Employee has the status of a senior executive within the meaning of the provisions of Article L. 3111-2 of the French Labour Code.

Business expenses incurred by the Employee in the performance of her duties with the Company will be reimbursed upon presentation of the relevant receipts. Reimbursement will be made in accordance with the Company's expense reimbursement policy, of which the Employee acknowledges that she has reviewed.

The pension contributions will be paid to the ARRCO / AGIRC pension funds.

Any foreseeable absence must be authorized by the Company. Furthermore, in the event of sickness or any other impediment, the Employee shall inform the Company as soon as possible so that all useful measures can be taken to ensure the appropriate coverage of her duties. The Employee must provide the appropriate supporting documents within 48 hours.

The Employee's paid leave entitlement will be determined in accordance with the applicable legal and contractual provisions. The dates of the Employee's paid leave will be determined in agreement with her supervisor, according to the needs of the Company.

At the end of the trial period provided for in Article 1 hereof, this Agreement may be terminated by either party at any time, subject to compliance with a notice period equal to that provided for by law or the Collective Agreement.

In the course of performing this Agreement, the Employee may receive or have access to Confidential Information, as defined below, concerning the activities and the business of the Company, the Travelzoo Group and/or its customers. The Employee is expressly prohibited, both during the term of this Agreement and after its termination, from:

–disclosing any Confidential Information to any person or entity, and

–using such Confidential Information for her own benefit or for the benefit of another person or entity,

except for the purposes of the Employee’s duties pursuant to this Agreement, or as required by law.

For the purposes of the foregoing, the term "Confidential Information" shall mean all information, whether written or oral, known or intended to be known only to employees of the Company and/or the Travelzoo Group, or any of its affiliated entities in France or abroad, or to its customers, and relating to any activities, business, prospects or financial conditions of interest to the Company or any of its entities, or to any of its customers or partners, other than information in the public domain, in particular (a) commercial or financial information and data; (b) information regarding staff members and remuneration granted; (c) marketing plans and related information; (d) names, lists, contact information and practices of customers and suppliers; (e) media achievements and information, creative works, products, designs, creative concepts, illustrations, drawings, sketches, photographs, original documents and copies, software, developments, memoranda, data, improvements and management methods; and (f) business methods, techniques and projects, as well as the information contained therein.

The Employee shall not, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of six (6) months following the termination of this Agreement, approach, solicit or attempt to solicit, employ, or procure employment for any person who is an employee of the Company.

a.At the end of this Agreement, regardless of the Party terminating it and for any reason whatsoever, the Employee, in view of her duties which will give her access to information and data relating to the Company's commercial strategy, positioning and customer portfolio, undertakes:

–not to enter the service of any other company manufacturing or marketing products or services that may compete with the Company’s products and services;

–not to develop such a competing activity on its own behalf;

–and/or not to participate, directly or indirectly, in any such activity in any capacity whatsoever, and in particular as an employee, corporate officer, consultant or independent service provider or partner of a company (other than holding less than 0.1% of a company listed on a regulated market).

"Competing activity" means advertising and publication of promotional content on the Internet in the travel or leisure sector, and more specifically, including, without limitation, the activity of event-based sales through the Internet and at discounted prices, also known as Flash Sales, whose content would be related to travel and/or holidays and/or leisure services and/or hotel services.

b.It is expressly agreed that this clause will apply for a period of one (1) year from the effective departure of the Employee from the Company and that it will cover France, the United Kingdom and the United States of America as well as companies in the same sector of activity as that of the Company or in a similar sector which, although located in other countries, would issue online promotional offers to audiences located in the countries listed above.

c.In consideration of this non-compete obligation, the Company will pay the Employee during the above-mentioned period a monthly compensation equal to 30% of the average gross monthly salary (including compensation for paid vacations, excluding any benefits in kind) calculated on the basis of the remuneration of the last twelve (12) months preceding the date of termination of this Agreement (i.e. the date of notification of termination).

d.The Company may waive this clause 12, provided that it informs the Employee in writing (confirmed for proof by registered mail with acknowledgement of receipt), within fifteen (15) days of notification of the termination of this Agreement by either Party. In this case, no compensation will be due to the Employee. This waiver shall not, however, authorize the Employee to engage in conduct constituting unfair competition or to disregard her general obligation of loyalty.

e.In the event of a breach by the Employee of this non-compete obligation in whole or in part, the Employee shall automatically owe the Employer a lump sum payment equal to the amount set forth in clause 12(c) above, such penalty to be due without the need for a formal notice to cease competitive activity. Furthermore, the Company shall be immediately released from its obligation to pay the financial compensation referred to in the third paragraph of this Article 12.

The Employee acknowledges that she has read the rules established by the Company regarding the fight against corruption and undertakes to strictly comply with these rules and with national and international regulations in order to avoid corruption and/or influence peddling and/or money laundering or financing of terrorism.

The Employee's personal data will be recorded and processed by the Company for the purposes of managing the employee relationship, payroll and the Company's compliance with its reporting obligations to the social security authorities, social welfare organizations and tax authorities.

The Employee's personal data is communicated to the Travelzoo Group in the context of the management of this Agreement and for the purposes of the performance of the Employee's duties. This data will therefore also be processed in countries outside of the European Union (United Kingdom and United States of America). The Company will ensure that the Employee's personal data is protected to a level at least equal to that required for agreements with countries outside the European Union.

The Employee may exercise her rights relating to her personal data directly with the Company (rights of communication, rectification, deletion, erasure). These rights shall be exercised by written request and subject, in the case of the right of erasure, to the condition that the data in question is not one that the Company must legitimately be able to hold and process in the context of this Agreement. The supervisory authority is the CNIL (www.cnil.fr).

The Employee is hereby informed that the material resources made available to her are likely to record personal data accessible to the Company (computer resources, telephony, messaging, etc.). Any messaging system made available on the Company's systems is deemed to be for professional use, with the sole exception of messaging systems identified as private, which the Employee must use for any message of a non-professional nature.

The Employee shall ensure that in the course of her activity, she does not violate the personal data legislation with respect to personal data of other employees or third parties to which she may have access.

This Agreement shall be subject to French law and to the Collective Agreement applicable to the Company with respect to its activity, i.e., to date, the Collective Agreement for Executives of Advertising and Similar Companies (IDCC 86).

As of the effective date of this Agreement, any previous contract or proposal will be considered null and void and the employment relationship will be governed by this Agreement and the aforementioned collective agreement.
