RECITALS

WHEREAS, Executive is employed by the Company pursuant to an Employment Agreement between Executive and the Company, dated April 24, 2018 (the “Employment Agreement”);

WHEREAS, Executive shall resign effective January 10, 2020 (the “Termination Date”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, Executive is not entitled to severance benefits under the Employment Agreement in the event of a resignation; however, in exchange for the promises set forth herein, the Company shall provide the equivalent of the severance benefits provided under Section 5(b) of Executive’s Employment Agreement, as further described in this Agreement; 

WHEREAS, the Parties wish to resolve any and all disputes, claims, complaints, grievances, charges, actions, petitions, and demands that the Executive may have against the Company and any of the Releasees as defined in the Waiver and Release of Claims, including, but not limited to, any and all claims arising out of or in any way related to Executive’s employment with or separation from the Company;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made herein, the Company and Executive hereby agree as follows:

1.Transition Period.  During the period (the “Transition Period”) beginning on the date hereof (the “Transition Date”) and ending on the Termination Date, Executive will continue to be employed by the Company and will work towards: (a) the orderly transition of Executive’s responsibilities to other Company employees, including cooperation with CEO, other Company Executives and Executive’s successor; (b) preparing a mutually-agreed upon public statement explaining Executive’s decision to resign; and (c) preparing a resignation announcement and communication of public statement in the earnings press release to be issued on October 29, 2019 and on the earnings call of October 30, 2019.During the Transition Period, Executive will continue to receive his base salary and participate in applicable employee benefit plans.  Effective as of the Termination Date, Executive agrees that he shall have resigned from all board and officer positions with the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates as of the Termination Date, and shall execute all documents or notices requested by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to effectuate such resignation. Nothing in this Agreement limits the Company from terminating this Agreement for just cause during the Transition Period.

2.Separation Benefits.  Provided Executive signs this Agreement, signs and does not revoke the Waiver and Release of Claims attached as Exhibit A(the “Release”) in the time provided for therein, and Executive satisfactorily performs the transition responsibilities pursuant to Section 1, Executive will receive the following payments and benefits (the “Separation Benefits”):

a.If a Bonus Program is in existence, the Company shall pay the Executive any accrued but unpaid Bonus earned for the relevant bonus year, including any pro rata portion thereof earned as of the Termination Date (which payment shall be made at the time all other bonuses are paid pursuant to the Company’s Bonus Program). The Pro-Rata Bonus, if any, shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s applicable Bonus Program, to the extent such a Program exists;

b.Subject to the timely election of continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), the Company shall continue to contribute to the premium cost of the Executive’s participation and that of his eligible dependents’ in the Company’s group health plan (to the extent permitted under applicable law and the terms of such plan) which covers the Executive (and the Executive’s eligible dependents) for a period of twelve (12) months, provided (x) the Executive pay the remainder of the premium cost of such participation by payroll deduction (if any), (y) the Executive is eligible and remains eligible for COBRA coverage; and (z) the Executive reports to the Company on a monthly basis any health care premium payments received from another employer during such twelve-month period, as such amounts shall be deducted from any Company-paid COBRA premium contribution. If the reimbursement of any COBRA premiums would violate the nondiscrimination rules or cause the reimbursement of claims to be taxable under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, together with the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “Act”) or Section 105(h) of the Code, the Company paid premiums shall be treated as taxable payments and be subject to imputed income tax treatment to the extent, necessary to eliminate any discriminatory treatment or taxation under the Act or Section 105(h) of the Code. If the Executive’s participation or that of his eligible dependents’ participation would give rise to penalties or taxes against the Company under the Act, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, the Company shall instead make cash payments to the Executive over the same period in monthly installments in an amount equal to the Company’s portion of the monthly cost of providing such benefits under its group health plan for such period; and

c.The Company shall pay the Executive severance in an amount equal to $600,000 in twenty-four (24) equal installments (totaling twelve months). The installments of severance hereunder shall commence in the calendar month following the month in which the Release Effective Date occurs. 

d.The Company shall pay the Executive a cash bonus of $115,000 payable in the Company’s first payroll after the Release Effective Date,  subject to Executive’s fulfilling his obligations during Transition Period

3.Accrued Obligations and Benefits.  Executive’s health insurance benefits shall cease on the Termination Date, subject to Executive’s right to continue his health insurance under COBRA.  Except as otherwise provided for herein, Executive’s participation in all benefits and incidents of employment, including, but not limited to, vesting in equity-based awards, perquisites of employment, and the accrual of bonuses, vacation, and paid time off, shall cease as of the Termination Date.  Executive will receive his earned but unpaid base salary, unpaid expense reimbursements, and any vested benefits accrued through the Termination Date including without limitation accrued but unused vacation/PTO on or before the time required by law, but in no event more than thirty (30) days following the Termination Date.

4.Payment of Salary and Receipt of All Benefits.  Executive acknowledges and represents that, other than the consideration set forth in this Agreement, the Company has paid or provided all salary, wages, bonuses, premiums, leaves, housing allowances, relocation costs, reimbursable expenses, commissions, stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock options, vesting, and any and all other benefits and compensation due to Executive, up to the date of Execution of this Agreement.

6.Nondisparagement.  Executive represents that he has not made, and agrees not to make any statements or representations, or otherwise communicate, directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or otherwise, or take any action which may, directly or indirectly, disparage or negatively impact the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or their respective current and former officers, directors, employees, shareholders, advisors, businesses or reputations (the “Company Parties”). Executive further represents that he has not made, and agrees not to make any disparaging, untrue or misleading statements or representations with respect to the Company Parties. If Executive is contacted by any governmental agency, investigator, or plaintiff’s counsel with respect to or regarding the Company Parties or is contacted by any third party with respect to pending or threatened litigation against the Company Parties, Executive shall (i) not respond unless legally compelled to do so and (ii) promptly notify the Company of such contact.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall preclude Executive from making truthful statements that are required by applicable law, regulation or legal process.  Nothing in this Section 6 is intended to limit Executive’s rights set forth in subsection 5 of the Waiver and Release of Claims.  The Company agrees that if it is contacted by future employers, it will confirm Executive’s title and dates of employment only. 

7.Breach.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that any material breach of this Agreement including, without limitation, the provisions of the Employment Agreement that remain in effect, shall entitle the Company immediately to recover and/or cease providing the consideration provided to Executive under this Agreement and to obtain damages.  In addition, the Company shall be awarded its attorneys’ fees incurred if it prevails in any action against the Executive to enforce this Agreement. 

8.No Admission of Liability.  Executive understands and acknowledges that this Agreement constitutes a compromise and settlement of any and all actual or potential disputed claims by Executive.  No action taken by the Company hereto, either previously or in connection with this Agreement, shall be deemed or construed to be (a) an admission of the truth or falsity of any actual or potential claims or (b) an acknowledgment or admission by the Company of any fault or liability whatsoever to Executive or to any third party.

9.Costs.  The Parties shall each bear their own costs, attorneys’ fees, and other fees incurred in connection with the preparation of this Agreement.

10.Arbitration. 

a.All disputes between Executive (and Executive’s attorneys, successors, and assigns) and the Company (and its affiliates, subsidiaries, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, attorneys, and assigns) relating in any manner to Executive’s employment or the termination of Executive’s employment, including, without limitation, all disputes arising under the Employment Agreement and this Agreement (“Arbitrable Claims”), shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration to the fullest extent permitted by law.  Arbitrable Claims shall include, but are not limited to, contract (express or implied) and tort claims of all kinds, as well as all claims based on any federal, state, or local law, statute, or regulation, excepting only claims under applicable workers’ compensation law and unemployment insurance claims.  By way of example and not in limitation of the foregoing, Arbitrable Claims shall include any claims arising under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Family Medical Leave Act, as well as all claims under any applicable state or federal statute, and any claims asserting wrongful termination, breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, negligent or intentional infliction of emotional distress, harassment, discrimination, negligent or intentional misrepresentation, negligent or intentional interference with contract or prospective economic advantage, fraud, defamation, invasion of privacy, all claims related to disability and all wage or benefit claims, including but not limited to claims for salary, bonuses, profit participation, commissions, stock, stock options, vacation pay, fringe benefits or any form of compensation.  Arbitration shall be final and binding upon the Parties and shall be the exclusive remedy

Page 3

for all Arbitrable Claims, except that the Parties may seek interim injunctive relief and other provisional remedies in court as set forth in this Agreement.  The Parties hereby waive any rights they may have to trial by jury or any other form of administrative hearing or procedure in regard to the Arbitrable Claims.

b.Claims shall be arbitrated in accordance with the then-existing National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA Employment Rules”), as augmented by this Agreement.  Arbitration shall be initiated as provided by the AAA Employment Rules, although the written notice to the other Party initiating arbitration shall also include a statement of the claims asserted and all the facts upon which the claims are based.  Either Party may bring an action in court to compel arbitration under this Agreement and to enforce an arbitration award.  Otherwise, neither Party shall initiate or prosecute any lawsuit or administrative action in any way related to any Arbitrable Claim.  All arbitration hearings under this Agreement shall be conducted at the AAA office located nearest to San Diego, California.  The Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.

c.All disputes involving Arbitrable Claims shall be decided by a single arbitrator.  The arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the Parties within thirty (30) days of the effective date of the notice initiating the arbitration.  If the Parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, then the complaining Party shall notify the AAA and request selection of an arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Employment Rules.  The arbitrator shall have only such authority to award equitable relief, damages, costs, and fees as a court would have for the particular claims asserted and any action of the arbitrator in contravention of this limitation may be the subject of court appeal by the aggrieved Party.  No other aspect of any ruling by the arbitrator shall be appealable, and all other aspects of the arbitrator’s ruling shall be final and non-appealable.  The arbitrator shall have the authority to compel adequate discovery for the resolution of the dispute and to award such relief as would otherwise be permitted by law.  The arbitrator shall be required to issue a written arbitration decision, including the arbitrator’s essential findings, conclusions and a statement of award.  The Company shall pay all arbitration fees in excess of what the Executive would have to pay if the dispute were decided in a court of law.  The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve all Arbitrable Claims, including, but not limited to, whether any particular claim is arbitrable and whether all or any part of this Agreement is void or unenforceable.

d.Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to provide for interim relief pending the finalization of arbitration proceedings hereunder, nothing in this Section 10 shall prohibit the Parties from pursuing, a claim for interim injunctive relief, for other applicable provisional remedies, and/or for related attorneys’ fees in a court of competent jurisdiction in order to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of the arbitration.  In the event of any alleged breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Executive hereby consents and submits to jurisdiction in the State of California.

e.If for any reason all or part of this arbitration provision is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or regulation in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other part of this arbitration provision or any other jurisdiction, but this provision shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable part or parts of this arbitration provision had never been contained herein, consistent with the general intent of the Parties, as evidenced herein, insofar as possible.

11.Cooperation.  Executive agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company, at reasonable times and places, with respect to all matters arising during or related to Executive’s continuing or past employment, including but not limited to all formal or informal matters in connection with any government investigation, internal investigation, litigation, regulatory or other proceeding which may have arisen or which may arise. The Company will reimburse Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (not

Page 4

including lost time or opportunity or attorneys’ fees) incurred by Executive fulfilling his obligations under this Section 11. 

12.Section 409A Compliance.  All in-kind benefits provided and expenses eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement shall be provided by the Company or incurred by the Executive during the time periods set forth in this Agreement. All reimbursements shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event shall any reimbursement be paid after the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of in-kind benefits provided or reimbursable expenses incurred in one taxable year shall not affect the in-kind benefits to be provided or the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year. Such right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.  Because the Executive is a “specified employee” (as that term is used in Section 409A of the Code and regulations and other guidance issued thereunder), any part of the Severance that constitutes non-qualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code shall be delayed until the earlier of (A) the business day following the six-month anniversary of the date his separation from service becomes effective, and (B) the date of the Executive’s death, but only to the extent necessary to avoid such penalties under Section 409A of the Code. On the earlier of (A) the business day following the six-month anniversary of the date his separation from service becomes effective, and (B) the Executive’s death, the Company shall pay the Executive in a lump sum the aggregate value of the non-qualified deferred compensation that the Company otherwise would have paid the Executive prior to that date under this Agreement.  It is intended that each installment of the Severance shall be treated as a separate “payment” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

13.Authority.  The Company represents and warrants that the undersigned has the authority to act on behalf of the Company and to bind the Company and all who may claim through it to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  Executive represents and warrants that he has the capacity to act on his own behalf and on behalf of all who might claim through him to bind them to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  Each Party warrants and represents that there are no liens or claims of lien or assignments in law or equity or otherwise of or against any of the claims or causes of action released herein.

14.Severability.  In the event that any provision or any portion of any provision hereof or any surviving agreement made a part hereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be illegal, unenforceable, or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision or portion of provision.

15.Acknowledgement.  The Executive acknowledges and agrees that he remains bound by and subject to the terms of the Employment Agreement that survive termination of his employment to the extent necessary to effectuate the terms contained therein including, without limitation, Executive’s covenants of confidentiality and non-solicitation, which covenants are reaffirmed herein.  Such covenants include, without limitation, Executive’s agreement not to use or disclose Confidential Information (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement).  The Executive acknowledges and agrees he has returned all Company property and other tangible products and documents belonging to the Company pursuant to Section 8(c) of the Employment Agreement.  

16.Indemnity.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that Executive’s Indemnity Agreement with the Company remains in full force and effect, and that the Indemnity Agreement extends to the action titled Harari v. PricesSmart, Inc. et al pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California.  The foregoing shall not be interpreted to limit any rights of indemnification the Company may owe Executive under law.

17.Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the terms of the Employment Agreement that survive the termination of the Executive’s employment, the Indemnity Agreement, as

Page 5

modified herein, represents the entire Agreement and understanding between the Company and Executive concerning the subject matter of this Agreement and Executive’s employment with and resignation from the Company, and supersedes and replaces any and all prior agreements and understandings concerning the subject matter of this Agreement and Executive’s relationship with the Company.  

18.Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by the Executive and a duly authorized representative of the Company.

19.Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard for choice-of-law provisions. 

20.Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and by facsimile or pdf, and each counterpart and facsimile or pdf shall have the same force and effect as an original and shall constitute an effective, binding agreement on the part of each of the undersigned.

2.California Civil Code Section 1542; Unknown Claims.

a.California Civil Code Section 1542.  Executive acknowledges that he has been advised to consult with legal counsel and is familiar with the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, a statute that otherwise prohibits the release of unknown claims, which provides as follows:

A general release does not extend to claimsthatthe creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release,and thatif known by him or her,wouldhave materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.

Executive, being aware of said code section, agrees to expressly waive any rights he may have thereunder, as well as under any other statute or common law principles of similar effect.

b.Unknown Claims.  Executive acknowledges that he has been advised to consult with legal counsel and that he is familiar with the principle that a general release does not extend to claims that the releaser does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him, must have materially affected his settlement with the release.  Executive, being aware of said principle, agrees to expressly waive any rights he may have to that effect, as well as under any other statute or common law principles of similar effect.

3.No Pending or Future Lawsuits.  Executive represents that he has no lawsuits, claims, or actions pending in his name, or on behalf of any other person or entity, against the Company or any of the other Releasees.  Executive also represents that he does not intend to bring any claims on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity against the Company or any of the other Releasees.

4.Limitations.  Nothing in the Agreement or this Waiver and Release of Claims prohibits Executive from reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to any government agency or entity, including, but not limited to, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the “EEOC”), or any similar state agency, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of applicable law.  Executive does not need prior authorization of the Company to make any such reports or disclosures and Executive is not required to notify the Company that Executive has made such reports or disclosures.  Nothing in this Waiver and Release of Claims shall affect the EEOC’s rights and responsibilities to enforce the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the ADEA, the National Labor Relations Act or any other applicable law, nor shall anything in this Waiver and Release of Claims be construed as a basis for interfering with Executive’s protected right to file a timely charge with, or participate in an investigation or proceeding conducted by, the EEOC, the National Labor Relations Board (the “NLRB”), or any other state, federal or local government entity; provided, however, if the EEOC, the NLRB, or any other state, federal or local government entity commences an investigation on Executive’s behalf, Executive specifically waives and releases his right, if

Page 9

any, to recover any monetary or other benefits of any sort whatsoever arising from any such investigation or otherwise, nor will you seek or accept reinstatement to Executive’s former position with the Company.  Moreover, in accordance with California law, nothing in the Agreement or Waiver and Release of Claims shall prohibit Executive from providing testimony in an administrative, legislative or judicial proceeding regarding alleged criminal acts or alleged sexual harassment when he has been required or requested to attend the proceeding pursuant to Court order, subpoena, or written request from an administrative agency or the legislature.

5.Acknowledgements.  Executive acknowledges that he has carefully read and fully understand this Waiver and Release of Claims.  Executive acknowledges that he has not relied on any statement, written or oral, which is not set forth in the Agreement or this Waiver and Release of Claims.  Executive further acknowledges that he is hereby advised in writing to consult with an attorney prior to executing this Waiver and Release of Claims; that he is not waiving or releasing any rights or claims that may arise after the date of execution of this Waiver and Release of Claims; that he is releasing claims under the ADEA; that he executes this Waiver and Release of Claims in exchange for monies in addition to those to which he is already entitled; that the Company gave Executive a period of at least twenty-one (21) days within which to consider this Waiver and Release of Claims and a period of seven (7) days following his execution of this Waiver and Release of Claims to revoke his ADEA waiver as provided below; that if Executive voluntarily executes this Waiver and Release of Claims prior to the expiration of the 21st day, he will voluntarily waive the remainder of the twenty-one (21) day consideration period; that any changes to this Waiver and Release of Claims by Executive once it has been presented to Executive will not restart the 21 day consideration period; and Executive enters into this Waiver and Release of Claims knowingly, willingly and voluntarily in exchange for the Separation Benefits.  To receive the Separation Benefits provided in the Agreement, this Waiver and Release of Claims must be signed and returned to Francisco Velasco, at the Company, at 9740 Scranton Road Suite # 125, San Diego, California  92121 or at, if by email delivery, fvelasco@pricesmart.com, on, and not before,January 11,  2020.  Nothing in this Waiver and Release of Claims constitutes a waiver any rights Executive has under the Agreement.
