Kevin,

 

ZeroFOX, Inc. (“ZeroFOX”) is pleased to make an offer of employment for the position of ZeroFOX Corporate Officer and Chief Operating Officer reporting to the Chief Executive Officer and your place of duty will be at the ZeroFox headquarters in Baltimore, MD.

 

Your position is exempt and your annual On Target Earnings are projected to be $470,000. Of this amount, your base salary will be $300,000 per annum. Your annual incentive compensation is projected to be 170,000, paid annually in arrears, and is based upon attainment of company objectives aligned with the CEO’s incentive plan. All compensation will be payable in accordance with ZeroFOX’s payroll practices and subject to applicable withholdings and deductions. You will be entitled to receive those benefits made available to ZeroFOX’s employees.

 

ZeroFOX agrees to pay you $85,000 of your first year’s annual incentive compensation as a Sign-on Bonus. The Sign-on Bonus is contingent on your continuous employment with ZeroFOX for a period of one year beginning on your first working day with ZeroFOX. Should your employment with ZeroFOX end voluntarily or for cause before this time period elapses, you will be responsible for reimbursing to ZeroFOX all monies received relating to the Sign-on Bonus. The Sign-on Bonus will be paid in the next practical payroll following your 1st month anniversary.

 

ZeroFox, or its successors, agrees to pay you $300,000 if the Company’s Board of Directors approves a definitive Chanute in Control transaction agreement within twenty-four months from the effective date of this letter in accordance with the ZeroFox Side Letter-Option Vesting Upon Change in Control Agreement.

 

Subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, ZeroFOX anticipates you will be eligible to receive equity compensation in the form of 4,100,000 options to purchase shares of Common Stock of ZeroFOX based upon the company’s capitalization on your employment commencement date. These options will be issued at a price per share based on a 409A Common Stock valuation to be obtained from an independent third party. The terms of the options will be subject to the ZeroFOX 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, an Incentive Stock Option Grant Agreement and all applicable laws. Additionally, you will be eligible to receive equity compensation in the form of 1,250,000 options to purchase shares of Common Stock of ZeroFOX once the company achieves $50M ARR.

 

Upon being hired, you will be required to provide ZeroFOX with documentary evidence of your identity and eligibility for employment in the United States, per federal immigration law. Such documentation must be provided within three (3) business days of your date of hire, or our employment relationship with you may be terminated. This offer of employment may be contingent on the successful completion and review of a reference check or background check, which may include drug screening. All results are held as strictly confidential.
