Exhibit 10.1

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Executive Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of August 19, 2024, by and between Sunergy Solar, LLC (together with its successors and assigns, the “Company”), and Cannon Holbrook (“Executive”).

WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ Executive, and Executive desires to be employed by the Company, and serve as the Chief Financial Officer of Company and its ultimate parent company, Zeo Energy Corp. (“Zeo”).

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1.Employment and Term. Company agrees to employ Executive, and Executive accepts employment by the Company, on the terms herein. Executive’s term of employment by the Company under this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on the date this Agreement is executed by both parties (the “Effective Date”) and end on the third anniversary thereof, subject to automatic renewal of the Term for additional one-year periods unless either the Company or Executive gives the other party written notice of intent not to renew the Term not less than ninety days before the date on which the Term otherwise would automatically renew. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Term may be terminated earlier in accordance with Section 5.

2.Position, Duties and Responsibilities, Location, and Commuting.

(a) Position and Duties. During the Term, the Company shall employ Executive, and Executive shall serve, as Chief Financial Officer of Company and its ultimate parent company Zeo Energy Corp. Executive shall report directly to Zeo’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). Executive shall have, subject to the direction of the CEO and Zeo’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), the duties, powers, and authority as are commensurate with the above-described roles, and such other duties and responsibilities as are delegated to Executive from time to time by the CEO or Board.

(b) Level of Efforts. Executive agrees to devote his full-time efforts, energies, and skill to the discharge of his assigned duties and responsibilities, and shall at a minimum devote sufficient professional time and attention to satisfactorily carry out Executive’s responsibilities. To the extent such activities do not either individually or in the aggregate materially interfere with the performance of his responsibilities to the Company, Executive shall be entitled to engage in (a) services as a board member for one for-profit businesses or trade organization during the Term, provided that Executive shall not serve on the board of any entity that materially competes with the Company, (b) service on the board of directors of a not-for-profit organization, (c) other charitable activities and community affairs, and (d) management of his personal and family investments and affairs. With the prior written consent of the Board (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Executive may act or serve as a director, trustee, member, or principal of any type of organization for which such activities are disclosed in writing to the Company in accordance with Zeo’s Conflict of Interest Policy.

(c) Compliance with Company Policies. To the extent not inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and with due regard for his or her or their position, Executive shall be subject to the Bylaws, policies, practices, procedures, and rules of Zeo, including those policies and procedures set forth in Zeo’s Code of Conduct, but in no event shall anything in such documents be construed to expand the definition of Cause hereunder.

(d) Location of Employment and Commuting. Executive’s principal office, and principal place of employment, shall be at the Company’s offices in Utah. Executive may be required to travel on Company business. Executive may work remotely from Executive’s residence from time to time, provided that the remote working does not interfere with the Executive’s responsibilities under this Agreement and provided Executive cooperates with Company to reasonably minimize any resulting tax and other regulatory compliance burdens resulting; provided that, subject to any health or safety concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic or other similar extraordinary circumstances, Executive may be required to spend an average of at least 3 days per week in a Company office.

3.Compensation.

(a) Base Salary. The Company shall pay to the Executive an annual salary of $225,000 (“Base Salary”), which may be increased from time to time by the Compensation Committee of the Board (“Committee”) in its sole discretion. All payments made to or on behalf of Executive under the terms of this Agreement, including all payments of Base Salary and any bonuses, shall be subject to all withholding required or permitted by law (such as income and payroll taxes) and such additional withholding as may be agreed upon by Executive. For the first year in which Executive is hired, Executive’s annual salary will be paid on a pro-rated based on the proportion of the year that Executive is employed under this Agreement.

(b) Annual Cash Bonus. A one-time payment of $25,000 will be provided to the Executive upon execution of the Agreement. During the Term, this Agreement provides for no guaranteed annual target cash bonus. The Committee may choose to award Executive, at the Committee’s sole discretion, an annual cash bonus based on meeting positive EBITDA targets, an evaluation of Executive’s performance and Peer Group compensation practices, taking into account Zeo and individual performance objectives, and/or such criteria as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion from time to time. Any annual cash bonuses the Committee chooses to award Executive shall be deemed “earned” if Executive is employed as of the date of the payment of such annual cash bonus, provided, however, that such bonus shall be paid no later than March 15th of the year immediately following the year to which the annual bonus relates.

(c) Equity Award. During the Term, subject to approval by the Zeo Board of Directors, Executive will receive grants of shares in Zeo under the 2024 Omnibus Incentive Equity Plan in accordance with the terms and conditions of the underlying equity grant and award agreements, according to the following schedule:

(i) 15,000 vested shares to be issued as soon as possible following the Effective Date.

(ii) 75,000 vested shares to be issued on the date that is 12 months after the Effective Date.

(iii) 75,000 vested shares to be granted on the date that is 24 months after the Effective Date.

(iv) 75,000 vested shares to be granted on the date that is 35 months after the Effective Date.

4.Employee Benefits and Perquisites.

(a) Benefits. Executive shall be entitled to participate in such health, group insurance, welfare, pension, and other employee benefit plans, programs, and arrangements as are made generally available from time to time to senior executives of Zeo (which shall include customary health, life insurance, and disability plans), such participation in each case to be on terms and conditions no less favorable to Executive than to other senior executives of Zeo generally.

(b) Fringe Benefits, Perquisites, and Paid Time Off. During the Term, Executive shall be entitled to participate in all fringe benefits and perquisites made available to other senior executives of Zeo, such participation to be at levels, and on terms and conditions, that are commensurate with his or her or their position and responsibilities at Zeo and that are no less favorable than those applicable to other senior executives of Zeo. In addition, Executive shall be eligible for up to 6 weeks of paid time off (“PTO”) per calendar year in accordance with the Company’s (or its Affiliates’) vacation and PTO policy, inclusive of vacation days and sick days and excluding standard paid Company holidays. Unused PTO may not be carried over into a subsequent year.

(c) Reimbursement of Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable business and travel expenses (first class airplane travel may only be used in exceptional circumstances) incurred in the performance of job duties, promptly upon presentation of appropriate supporting documentation and otherwise in accordance with the expense reimbursement policy of the Company or its Affiliates.

(vii) “Severance Payments” shall mean (i) a lump sum cash payment, payable on the Termination Date, equal to the sum of the following: (x) one year’s Base Salary at the annualized rate then in effect (or the rate that should be in effect but for any Base Salary diminution), and (y) any unpaid annual bonus for the preceding calendar year, and the greater of (I) any annual target cash bonus opportunity for the year of termination or (II) the average annual cash bonus for the three preceding completed years (provided, however, that if Executive has not been employed for at least three years in which an annual cash bonus was paid, such calculation will assume that an annual cash bonus equal to any target annual cash bonus opportunity was paid in the missing years), and (z) the incentive award described in 3.b above and any other target long-term incentive award granted Executive for the year of the Termination Date; (ii) accelerated vesting of any outstanding equity grants to Executive so that such equity grants vest completely as of the Termination Date; (iii) if Executive is eligible for and elects coverage under COBRA, continuation health insurance coverage under COBRA during the COBRA Coverage Period as set forth above, provided, however, that, these payments for continuation coverage under COBRA shall cease prior to the end of the COBRA Coverage Period if the Executive becomes eligible for other group health insurance coverage from a new employer, and provided further that such coverage provided during the COBRA Coverage Period shall be included in (and not in addition to) the continuation period under COBRA; provided, further, that such payments shall be limited to the employer contribution that the Company would have made to provide health insurance to Executive and any dependents if Executive had remained employed by the Company following the Termination Date.

(viii) “Termination Date” shall mean the date on which Executive’s employment hereunder terminates in accordance with this Agreement (which, in the case of a notice of non-renewal of the Term in accordance with Section 1 hereof, shall mean the date on which the Term expires).

(b) Termination for Cause or Termination by Executive Without Good Reason. If Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated by the Company for Cause or by Executive without Good Reason, which shall include a non-renewal of the Term by Executive, Executive shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Benefits, but shall not receive any equity described above in section 3.C, Equity Award, that has not vested as of the date of termination.

(h) Post-Termination Reasonable Cooperation. Following the Term Executive shall, to the extent reasonably requested by the Company, cooperate in good faith with the Company to assist the Company and/or its Affiliates in the pursuit or defense of (except if Executive is adverse with respect to) any claim, administrative charge, or cause of action by or against the Company or its Affiliates as to which Executive, by virtue of his or her or their employment with the Company or any other position that Executive holds that is affiliated with or was held at the request of the Company or its Affiliates, has relevant knowledge or information, including by acting as the Company’s representative in any such proceeding and, without the necessity of a subpoena, providing truthful testimony in any jurisdiction or forum.

6.Indemnification; D&O Insurance.

(a) Indemnification. If Executive is made a party, is threatened to be made a party, or reasonably anticipates being made a party, to any Proceeding (as hereinafter defined) by reason of the fact that Executive is or was a director, officer, shareholder, employee, agent, trustee, consultant, or representative of the Company or any of its Affiliates or is or was serving at the request of the Company or any of its Affiliates, or in connection with his or her or their service hereunder as a director, officer, shareholder, employee, agent, trustee, consultant, or representative of another Person, or if any Claim (as hereinafter defined) is made, is threatened to be made, or is reasonably anticipated to be made, that arises out of or relates to Executive’s service in any of the foregoing capacities, then Executive shall promptly be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent permitted or authorized by any Company arrangement, or if greater, by applicable law, against any and all costs, expenses, liabilities, and losses (including, without limitation, advancement and payment of attorney’s and other professional fees and charges, judgments, interest, expenses of investigation, penalties, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, with such legal fees advanced to the maximum extent permitted by law) incurred or suffered by Executive in connection therewith or in connection with seeking to enforce his or her or their rights under this Section 6(a), and such indemnification shall continue even if Executive has ceased to be a director, officer, shareholder, employee, agent, trustee, consultant, or representative of the Company or other Person and shall inure to the benefit of his or her or their heirs, executors, and administrators.

(b) D&O Insurance. A directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (or policies) shall be kept in place, during the Term and thereafter until the sixth anniversary of the Termination Date, providing coverage to Executive that is no less favorable to Executive in any respect than the coverage then being provided to any other current or former director or officer of the Company.

All Works created by Executive pursuant to this Agreement on behalf of, or for the benefit of, the Company or its Affiliates shall belong exclusively to the Company or its Affiliates. All Works created by Executive, or by any person or entity provided by the Executive, for the Company or its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed works made for hire within the meaning of the copyright laws of the United States. The Company, its successor and Affiliates shall retain all right, title, and interest in and to all Works, and any inventions (patentable or otherwise), discoveries, improvements or copyrightable works (collectively, “Intellectual Property”) that Executive creates in connection with its performance of the Executive’s services under this Agreement. At the Company’s expense, Executive shall provide all reasonable assistance requested by the Company in its protection of the Intellectual Property. In the event that any Works are determined not to be a work made for hire, then Executive hereby assigns to the Company or its designee all right, title, and interest in such Works, including any and all copyright rights or other intellectual property rights in and to such Works, in all media, now or hereafter known, worldwide.

8.Confidential Information. Executive agrees that, during Executive’s employment with the Company or its Affiliates and following termination of Executive’s employment, except as required by law, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, at any time, disclose to any third person or use in any way any non-public information or Confidential Information.

(a) Definition. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean any confidential or proprietary information of the Company and/or its Affiliates, including but not limited to: (a) technical, operational and financial information, data, Trade Secrets, formulae, processes, techniques, formats, specifications, manufacturing methods, treatment methods, designs, sketches, photographs, plans, drawings, specifications, samples, reports, pricing information, studies, findings, marketing plans or proposals, inventions, ideas, customer and client lists, information related to business opportunities and business development, and confidential programs or procedures; (b) Intellectual Property owned or licensed by the Company or its Affiliates; (c) any information maintained by the Company or its Affiliates as confidential or proprietary information, whether or not it is marked as confidential; and (d) information received by the Company or its Affiliates from third parties under confidential conditions.

(iii) not share or otherwise use the Confidential Information in violation of or in any manner inconsistent with the Company’s information protection and transfer policies in place from time to time, applicable privacy laws, applicable state and federal law, any other applicable laws, and GDPR (EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679) to the extent that it applies; and

(iv) not share or otherwise use the Confidential Information in violation of or in any manner inconsistent with the Company’s policies or reasonable requests made by the Company from time to time.

(d) For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Executive from (i) responding to any lawful subpoena or legal process, provided that the Executive shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, provide the Company with prior notice of the contemplated disclosure of any confidential information or trade secrets and cooperate with the Company or its Affiliates (at the Company’s expense) in seeking a protective order or other appropriate protection of such information, or (ii) sharing any confidential information or other information with regulators or appropriate governmental agencies without notice to the Company or its Affiliates, whether in response to subpoena or otherwise, under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation, and no prior authorization or notification is required prior to the Company making any such reports or disclosures, provided, that no attorney client privilege shall be waived.

9.Restrictive Covenants.

(a) No Solicitation of Employees. The Executive agrees that, both during the Term and for the period ending on the date that is one (1) year from the date of the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company at any time and for any reason (the “Restricted Period”), the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, on behalf of himself or any other person or entity, hire, solicit, take away or attempt to hire, solicit or take away any person who is (or in the preceding six months was), at the time of such solicitation, an employee, director or independent contractor of the Company or any of its Affiliates, either on behalf of himself or any other person or entity. This includes, but is not limited to, inducing or attempting to induce, or influencing or attempting to influence, any person employed by the Company or its Affiliates to terminate his or her employment with the Company or any such affiliate.

(b) No Solicitation of Customers. The Executive agrees that, during the Restricted Period, the Executive will not solicit any Restricted Business (as defined below) from any Person or entity that is, or in the prior six (6) months was a customer of the Company or its Affiliates or any prospective customer of the Company or its Affiliates with respect to which the Company or its Affiliates actively solicits or has solicited the sale of Company products and services including, without limitation, products and services of any Affiliates.

(c) Non-Competition. The Executive acknowledges that, in the course of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive will become familiar with the Trade Secrets of the Company and its Affiliates and with other Confidential Information concerning the Company and its Affiliates and that the Executive’s services shall be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company. The Executive agrees that, during the Restricted Period, the Executive shall not, on behalf of himself or for others, directly or indirectly, (whether as employee, officer, director, shareholder, member, manager, consultant, investor, partner, sole proprietor or otherwise) enter into, conduct or carry on, or engage in, be employed by, perform services for or be concerned with or interested in, financially or otherwise, any Restricted Business in any geographic area or location where any of the Company’s products, software or services are offered or where the Company was, during the prior six (6) months, actively pursuing efforts to offer such products, software or services. For purposes of this Agreement, Restricted Business shall mean the business of selling and installing residential solar systems. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall not be prohibited from the passive ownership of up to one percent (1%) of the securities of any entity engaged in any Restricted Business, where the securities of such entity are traded on a national securities exchange.

(d) Non-Disparagement. The Executive agrees that during the Term and thereafter, the Executive will make no disparaging or detrimental comments about the Company, any of its officers, directors, employees or agents nor will the Executive authorize, encourage or participate with anyone on the Executive’s behalf to make such statements.

8

(e) The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the services to be provided by the Executive under this Agreement are of a special, unique and extraordinary nature. The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained in this Section are necessary to prevent the use and disclosure of Confidential Information and to protect other legitimate business interests of the Company and its Affiliates. The Executive acknowledges that all of the restrictions in this Section are reasonable in all respects, including duration, territory and scope of activity. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company competes with businesses on a world-wide basis and that the geographic restrictions contained herein are therefore reasonable and necessary to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests. The Executive agrees that the restrictions contained in this Section shall be construed as separate agreements independent of any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement between the Executive and the Company. The Executive agrees that the existence of any claim or cause of action by the Executive against the Company or its Affiliates, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the covenants and restrictions in this Section. The Executive agrees that the restrictive covenants contained in this Section are a material part of the Executive’s obligations under this Agreement for which the Company has agreed to compensate the Executive as provided in this Agreement. The Executive agrees that the injury the Company will suffer in the event of the breach by the Executive of any clause of Sections 7-9 will cause the Company and its Affiliates irreparable injury that cannot be adequately compensated by monetary damages alone. Therefore, the Executive agrees that the Company, without limiting any other legal or equitable remedies available to it, shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief by injunction or otherwise from any court of competent jurisdiction, including, without limitation, injunctive relief to prevent the Executives’ failure to comply with the terms and conditions of Sections 7-9. The time year periods referenced in this Section shall be extended on a day-for-day basis for each day during which the Executive violates the provisions of this Section in any respect, so that the Executive is restricted from engaging in the activities prohibited by this Section for the full time period, as applicable.

10.Other Tax Matters.

(a) Withholding. The Company shall withhold all applicable federal, state, and local taxes, social security, and workers’ compensation contributions and other amounts as may be required by law with respect to compensation payable to Executive pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement is intended to be interpreted and applied so that the payment of the benefits set forth herein shall either be exempt from, or in the alternative, comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the published guidance thereunder (“Section 409A”). A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment that are considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “Termination Date” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A on the date of Executive’s “separation from service,” any payments or arrangements due upon a termination of Executive’s employment under any arrangement that constitutes a “nonqualified deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and which do not otherwise qualify under the exemptions under Treas. Regs. Section 1.409A-1 (including without limitation, the short-term deferral exemption or the permitted payments under Treas. Regs. Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)), shall be delayed and paid or provided on the earlier of (a) the date which is six months after Executive’s “separation from service” for any reason other than death, or (b) the date of Executive’s death. All tax gross-up payments provided under this Agreement or any other agreement with Executive shall be made or provided by the end of Executive’s taxable year next following Executive’s taxable year in which Executive remits the related taxes, in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A.

(c) Separation from Service. After any Termination Date, Executive shall have no duties or responsibilities that are inconsistent with having a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A as of the Termination Date and, notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, distributions upon termination of employment of nonqualified deferred compensation may only be made upon a “separation from service” as determined under Section 409A and such date shall be the Termination Date for purposes of this Agreement. Each payment under this Agreement or otherwise shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. In no event may Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under this Agreement which constitutes a “nonqualified deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and to the extent an amount is payable within a time period, the time during which such amount is paid shall be in the discretion of the Company.

(d) Reimbursements. All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A. To the extent that any reimbursements are taxable to Executive, such reimbursements shall be paid to Executive on or before the last day of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the related expense was incurred. Reimbursements shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit and the amount of such reimbursements that Executive receives in one taxable year shall not affect the amount of such reimbursements that Executive receives in any other taxable year.

11.Notices. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice, consent, demand, or other communication to be given under or in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given when delivered personally, when transmitted by facsimile transmission, one day after being deposited with Federal Express or other nationally recognized overnight delivery service, or three days after being mailed by first class mail, charges or postage prepaid, properly addressed, if to the Company, at its principal office with a copy to the company’s counsel, and, if to Executive, at Executive’s address set forth following Executive’s signature below. Either party may change such address from time to time by notice to the other.

12.Governing Law; Forum; Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of law rules or other conflicting provision or rule that would cause the laws of any jurisdiction to be applied. The parties each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts (or state courts if federal jurisdiction is lacking) located within Utah County or Salt Lake County. In the event of a lawsuit or other legal proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement in which Executive prevails (as determined by the deciding court), the Company shall reimburse Executive for Executive’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with such lawsuit or legal proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which Executive may be entitled.

13.Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement may not be modified or amended or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by Executive and a duly-authorized officer of the Company (other than Executive). By an instrument in writing similarly executed (and not by any other means), either party may waive compliance by the other party with any provision of this Agreement that such other party was or is obligated to comply with or perform; provided, however, that such waiver shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any other or subsequent failure. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising any right, remedy, or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, or power provided herein or by law or in equity. To be effective, any written waiver must specifically refer to the condition(s) or provision(s) of this Agreement being waived.

14.Inconsistencies. In the event of any inconsistency between any provision of this Agreement and any provision of any Company arrangement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control, unless Executive and the Company otherwise agree in a writing that expressly refers to the provision of this Agreement that is being waived.

15.Assignment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, neither party shall assign or transfer this Agreement nor any rights hereunder without the consent of the other party, and any attempted or purported assignment without such consent shall be void; provided, however, that any assignment or transfer pursuant to a merger or consolidation, or the sale or liquidation of all or substantially all of the business and assets of the Company shall be valid, so long as the assignee or transferee (a) is the successor to all or substantially all of the business and assets of the Company, and (b) assumes the liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company, as contained in this Agreement, either contractually or as a matter of law. Executive’s consent shall be required for any such transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may assign the Agreement to an Affiliate at any time without Executive’s consent. This Agreement shall otherwise bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, penalties, assigns, heirs, legatees, devisees, executors, administrators, and legal representatives.

16.Voluntary Execution; Representations. Executive acknowledges that (a) Executive has consulted with or has had the opportunity to consult with independent counsel of their own choosing concerning this Agreement and has been advised to do so by the Company, and (b) Executive has read and understands this Agreement, is competent and of sound mind to execute this Agreement, is fully aware of the legal effect of this Agreement, and has entered into it freely based on Executive’s own judgment and without duress. The Company represents and warrants that it is fully authorized, by any person or body whose authorization is required, to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder.

17.Headings. Headings of Sections and subsections in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be deemed to control or affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

18.Construction. Language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party.

19.Beneficiaries/References. Executive shall be entitled, to the extent permitted under applicable law, to select and change a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any compensation or benefit hereunder following Executive’s death by giving written notice thereof. In the event of Executive’s death or a judicial determination of Executive’s incompetence, references in this Agreement to Executive shall be deemed, where appropriate, to refer to Executive’s beneficiary, estate, or other legal representative.

20.Survivorship. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the respective rights and obligations of the parties shall survive any termination of Executive’s employment.

21.Severability. It is the desire and intent of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be invalid, prohibited, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited, or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

22.No Mitigation/No Offset. Executive shall be under no obligation to seek other employment or to otherwise mitigate the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, and there shall be no offset against amounts or benefits due to Executive under this Agreement or otherwise on account of any claim (other than any preexisting debts then due in accordance with their terms) the Company may have against Executive or any remuneration or other benefit earned or received by Executive after such termination.

23.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Signatures delivered by facsimile or PDF shall be effective for all purposes.

24.Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, correspondence, understandings, and agreements between the parties, regarding the subject matter of this Agreement.
