To the extent permitted by law, Company shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable legal fees, costs of litigation or arbitration, prejudgment or pre-award interest, and other expenses incurred in good faith by Executive as a result of Company’s refusal to provide benefits under this section 3, or as a result of Company contesting the validity, enforceability or interpretation of the provisions of this section 3, or as the result of any conflict (including conflicts related to the calculation of parachute payments or the characterization of Executive’s termination) between Executive and Company; provided that the conflict or dispute is resolved in Executive’s favor and Executive acts in good faith in pursuing his rights under this section 3.

Such reimbursement shall be made within thirty (30) days following final resolution, in favor of Executive, of the conflict or dispute giving rise to such fees and expenses. In no event shall Executive be entitled to receive the reimbursements provided for in this subparagraph if he acts in bad faith or pursues a claim without merit, or if he fails to prevail in any action instituted by him or Company.

Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with the benefits provided under this section 3 shall promptly and expeditiously be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect at the time of such arbitration proceeding utilizing a panel of three (3) arbitrators sitting in a location selected by Executive within fifty (50) miles from the location of his employment with Company. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The costs and expenses of both parties, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees shall be borne by Company.

9.Committee. Except as specifically provided herein, this Agreement shall be administered by the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board (the “Committee”). The Committee may delegate any administrative duties, including, without limitation, duties with respect to the processing, review, investigation, approval and payment of severance/Change in Control benefits, to designated individuals or committees.

10.Claims Procedure. If Executive believes that he is entitled to receive severance benefits under this Agreement, he may file a claim in writing with the Committee within ninety (90) days after the date such Executive believes he should have received such benefits. No later than ninety (90) days after the receipt of the claim, the Committee shall either allow or deny the claim in writing. A denial of a claim, in whole or in part, shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by Executive and shall include the specific reason or reasons for the denial; specific reference to the pertinent provisions of this Agreement on which the denial is based; a description of any additional material or information necessary for Executive to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and an explanation of the claim review procedure.

The Committee shall notify Executive of its decision on review within sixty (60) days after receipt of a request for review unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision shall be rendered as soon as possible, but not later than one-hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of a request for review. Notice of the decision on review shall be in writing. The Committee ’s decision on review shall be final and binding on Executive and any successor in interest. If Executive subsequently wishes to file a claim under section 502(a) of ERISA, any legal action must be filed within ninety (90) days of the Committee’s final decision. Executive must exhaust the claims procedure provided in this section 6 before filing a claim under ERISA with respect to any benefits provided under section 2 of this Agreement.

11.Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and either delivered in person or sent by first class, certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, if to Company at Company’s principal place of business, and if to Executive, at his home address most recently filed with Company, or to such other address as either party shall have designated in writing to the other party.

12.Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina without regard to any state’s conflict of law principles.

13.Severability and Construction. If any provision of this Agreement is declared void or unenforceable or against public policy, such provision shall be deemed severable and severed from this Agreement and the balance of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any restriction in this Agreement is overbroad or unreasonable under the circumstances, such restriction shall be modified or revised by such court to include the maximum reasonable restriction allowed by law.

14.Waiver. Failure to insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such term, covenant or condition.

15.Entire Agreement Modifications. This Agreement (including all exhibits hereto) constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, oral and written, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. In the event of any inconsistency between any provision of this Agreement and any provision of any plan, employee handbook, personnel manual, program, policy, arrangement or agreement of Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. This Agreement may be modified or amended only by an instrument in writing signed by both parties.

11

16.Withholding. All payments made to Executive pursuant to this Agreement will be subject to withholding of employment taxes and other lawful deductions, as applicable.

17.Survivorship. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, to the extent necessary to carry out the intentions of the parties hereunder the respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall survive any termination of Executive’s employment.

18.Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and shall inure to the benefit of Company and any and all of its successors and assigns. This Agreement is personal to Executive and shall not be assignable by Executive. Company may assign this Agreement to any entity which (i) purchases all or substantially all of the assets of Company or (ii) is a direct or indirect successor (whether by merger, sale of stock or transfer of assets) of Company. Any such assignment shall be valid so long as the entity which succeeds to Company expressly assumes Company’s obligations hereunder and complies with its terms.

19.Compliance with Code Section 409A. To the extent applicable, it is intended that the payment of benefits described in this Agreement comply with Code section 409A and all guidance or regulations thereunder (“Section 409A ”), or qualify for an exemption from Section 409A (e.g., the short-term deferral exception and the “two times” pay exemption applicable to severance payments). This Agreement will, to the extent subject to Section 409A, at all times be construed in a manner to comply with Section 409A and should any provision be found not in compliance with Section 409A, Executive hereby agrees to any changes to the terms of this Agreement deemed necessary and required by legal counsel for Company to achieve compliance with Section 409A, including any applicable exemptions. By signing a copy of this Agreement, Executive irrevocably waives any objections he may have to any changes that may be required by Section 409A. In no event will any payment that becomes payable pursuant to this Agreement that is considered “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A, if any, and does not satisfy any of the applicable exemptions under Section 409A, be accelerated in violation of Section 409A. To the extent that any amount payable hereunder upon Executive’s termination of employment is subject to Section 409A, payment shall not be made until Executive incurs a “separation from service,” as defined in Section 409A, from Company. If Executive is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A, any payment that becomes payable upon his termination of employment pursuant to this Agreement that is considered “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and does not satisfy any of the applicable exemptions under Section 409A may not be made before the date that is six months after Executive’s separation from service (or death, if earlier). To the extent Executive becomes subject to the six-month delay rule, all payments that would have been made to Executive during the six months following his separation from service that are not otherwise exempt from Section 409A, if any, will be accumulated and paid to Executive during the seventh month following his separation from service, and any remaining payments due will be made in their ordinary course as described in this Agreement. Company will notify Executive should he become subject to the six-month delay rule. For purposes of Section 409A, any right to receive any installment payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Company and Executive have duly executed and delivered this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

The Effective Date shall be no less than 7 days after the date signed by Executive.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Executive has been employed by the Company as a ______; and

WHEREAS, Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated as of ______, 200__ (the “Termination Date”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Severance/Change in Control Agreement between Company and Executive dated ______, 2020 (the “Change in Control Agreement”), upon a termination of Executive’s employment that satisfies the conditions specified in the Change in Control Agreement, Executive is entitled to the benefits described in the Change in Control Agreement provided Executive executes a separation and release agreement acceptable to Company; and

WHEREAS, this separation and release agreement (the “Agreement”) is intended to satisfy the requirements of the Change in Control Agreement and to form a part of the Change in Control Agreement in such a manner that all the rights, duties and obligations arising between Executive and Company, including, but in no way limited to, any rights, duties and obligations that have arisen or might arise out of or are in any way related to Executive’s employment with the Company and the conclusion of that employment are settled herein through the joinder of the Change in Control Agreement with this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the obligations of the parties under the Change in Control Agreement and the additional covenants and mutual promises herein contained, it is further agreed as follows:

1. Termination Date. Executive agrees to resign Executive’s employment and all appointments Executive holds with Company, and its subsidiaries and affiliates, on the Termination Date. Executive understands and agrees that Executive’s employment with the Company will conclude on the close of business on the Termination Date.

2. Termination Benefits. Executive and Company agree that Executive shall receive the benefits described in the Change in Control Agreement, less all applicable withholding taxes and other customary payroll deductions, provided in the Change in Control Agreement.

3. Receipt of Other Compensation. Executive acknowledges and agrees that, other than as specifically set forth in the Change in Control Agreement or this Agreement, following the Termination Date, Executive is not and will not be due any compensation, including, but not limited to, compensation for unpaid salary (except for amounts unpaid and owing for Executive’s employment with Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates prior to the Termination Date), unpaid bonus, severance and accrued or unused vacation time or vacation pay from the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. Except as provided herein or in the Change in Control Agreement, Executive will not be eligible to participate in any of the benefit plans of the Company after Executive’s Termination Date.

5. Executive’s Representation and Warranty.

6. Non-Solicitation and Non-Compete. In consideration of the benefits provided under this Agreement and in the Change in Control Agreement, Executive agrees that during Executive’s employment and for the duration of the applicable Severance Period as determined pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control Agreement, Executive will not, without the prior written consent of Company, either alone or in association with others, (a) solicit for employment or assist or encourage the solicitation for employment, any employee of Company, or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, (b) induce or attempt to induce any customer (i) with whom Executive or any employee under Executive’s direct supervision had material contact during the last two years of Executive’s employment with the Company or (ii) about whom Executive obtained trade secrets or confidential information in the course of Executive’s employment with the Company to cease or reduce doing business with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or interfere with the relationship between the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, on the one hand, and any such customer, on the other hand, or (c) within the Territory, directly or indirectly counsel, advise, perform services for, or be employed by, or otherwise engage or participate in, in each case, in any capacity that is similar to the capacity in which Executive provided services to the Company or that could require the performance of duties or functions similar to those performed as an employee of the Company, any Competing Business (regardless of whether Executive receives compensation of any kind). For purposes of this Agreement, a “Competing Business” shall mean any commercial activity which competes or is reasonably likely to compete with any business that the Company conducts, or demonstrably anticipates conducting, at any time during Executive’s employment. The “Territory” shall mean (i) anywhere in the world in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates engaged in commercial operations during the last two years of Executive’s employment with the Company, including (without limitation) the United States of America, Canada, Mexico, France, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Italy, Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom, Brazil, China, and/or the Caribbean Basin and (ii) any geographic area with respect to which Executive had direct or indirect responsibility during the last two years of Executive’s employment.

7. Confidentiality. At all times after the Effective Date, Executive will maintain the confidentiality of all information in whatever form concerning Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates relating to its or their businesses, customers, finances, strategic or other plans, marketing, employees, trade practices, trade secrets, know-how or other matters which are not generally known outside Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, and Executive will not, directly or indirectly, make any disclosure thereof to anyone, or make any use thereof, on Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of any third party, unless specifically requested by or agreed to in writing by an executive officer of Company. In addition, Executive agrees that Executive will not disclose the existence or terms of this Agreement to any third parties with the exception of Executive’s accountants, attorneys, or spouse, and shall ensure that none of them discloses such existence or terms to any other person, except as required to comply with law. Executive will promptly return to Company all reports, files, memoranda, records, computer equipment and software, credit cards, cardkey passes, door and file keys, computer access codes or disks and instructional manuals, and other physical or personal property which Executive received or prepared or helped prepare in connection with Executive’s employment and Executive will not retain any copies, duplicates, reproductions or excerpts thereof. The obligations of this paragraph 7 shall survive the expiration of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Executive is not prohibited from (i) providing truthful testimony or accurate information in connection with any investigation being conducted into the business or operations of the Company by any government agency or other regulator that is responsible for enforcing a law on behalf of the government or (ii) otherwise providing information to

the appropriate government agency regarding conduct or action undertaken or omitted to be taken by the Company that Executive reasonably believes is illegal or in non-compliance with any financial disclosure or other legal or regulatory requirement applicable to the Company, or from making any other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of applicable law or regulation; provided, that in making any such disclosures, Executive agrees to take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure of any confidential information to any parties other than the relevant government agencies. Additionally, Executive will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for any disclosure of a trade secret that: (A) is made (1) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (2) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. If Executive files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, Executive may disclose the Company's trade secrets to the Executive’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if the Executive (A) files any document containing trade secrets under seal; and (B) does not disclose trade secrets, except pursuant to court order. Executive is not required to obtain the approval of, or give notice to, the Company or any of its representatives to take any action permitted under this Section 7.

8. Non-Disparagement. At all times after the Effective Date, Executive will not disparage or criticize, orally or in writing, the business, products, policies, decisions, directors, officers or employees of Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to any person. Company also agrees that none of its executive officers will disparage or criticize Executive to any person or entity. The obligations of this paragraph 8 shall survive the expiration of this Agreement.

9. Breach of Agreement. Any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement will be handled as provided in the Change in Control Agreement.

10. Release.

1.Executive on behalf of Executive, Executive’s heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, does hereby knowingly and voluntarily release, acquit and forever discharge Company and any of its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns and past, present and future directors, officers, employees, trustees and shareholders (the “Released Parties”) from and against any and all complaints, claims, cross-claims, third-party claims, counterclaims, contribution claims, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, rights, demands, costs, losses, debts and expenses of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, foreseen or unforeseen, matured or unmatured, which, at any time up to and including the date on which Executive signs this Agreement, exists, have existed, or may arise from any matter whatsoever occurring, including, but not limited to, any claims arising out of or in any way related to Executive’s employment with Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates and the conclusion thereof, which Executive, or any of Executive’s heirs, executors, administrators, assigns, affiliates, and agents ever had, now has or at any time hereafter may have, own or hold against any of the Released Parties based on any matter existing on or before the date on which Executive signs this Agreement. Executive acknowledges that in exchange for this release, Company is providing Executive with total consideration, financial or otherwise, which exceeds what Executive would have been given without the release.

Nothing herein shall release any party from any obligation under this Agreement. Executive acknowledges and agrees that this release and the covenant not to sue set forth in paragraph (c) below are essential and material terms of this Agreement and that, without such release and covenant not to sue, no agreement would have been reached by the parties and no benefits under the Change in Control Agreement would have been paid.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent Executive or any of the Released Parties from filing a charge with an administrative agency, from instituting any action required to enforce the terms of this Agreement, or from challenging the validity of this Agreement. In addition, nothing herein shall be construed to prevent Executive from enforcing any rights Executive may have to recover vested benefits under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

4.Executive represents and warrants that: (i) Executive has not filed or initiated any legal, equitable, administrative, or other proceeding(s) against any of the Released Parties; (ii) no such proceeding(s) have been initiated against any of the Released Parties on Executive’s behalf; (iii) Executive is the sole owner of the actual or alleged claims, demands, rights, causes of action, and other matters that are released in this paragraph 10; (iv) the same have not been transferred or assigned or caused to be transferred or assigned to any other person, firm, corporation or other legal entity; and (v) Executive has the full right and power to grant, execute, and deliver the releases, undertakings, and agreements contained in this Agreement.

8. Severability of Provisions. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

9. Non-Admission of Liability.

10. Assignability. The rights and benefits under this Agreement are personal to Executive and such rights and benefits shall not be subject to assignment, alienation or transfer, except to the extent such rights and benefits are lawfully available to the estate or beneficiaries of Executive upon death.
