In no event shall the Employee have more than one cure opportunity with respect to the recurrence of the same or similar actions or inactions constituting the termination for Cause. (e) Termination as a Result of Death or Disability of Employee. This Agreement and the Employee’s employment with the Company shall terminate automatically upon the date of the Employee’s death without notice by or to either Party.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means the incapacity or inability of the Employee, whether due to accident, sickness or otherwise, as confirmed in writing by a medical doctor acceptable to the Company, to perform the essential functions of the Employee’s position under this Agreement, even with reasonable accommodation, for ninety (90) consecutive days OR an aggregate of one hundred eighty (180) days during any twelve (12) month period of the Employee’s employment with the Company provided however, in the event that the Company temporarily replaces Employee, or transfers the Employee’s duties or responsibilities to another individual on account of the Employee’s inability to perform such duties due to an incapacity which is, or is reasonably expected to become, a Disability, then the Employee’s employment shall not be deemed terminated by the Company and Employee shall not be able to resign in good faith as a result thereof (for the avoidance of doubt, the Employee shall resume his or her employment under this Agreement upon his or her return from any such temporary inability to perform such duties or physical incapacity that does not become a Disability). Upon written request by the Company, the Employee shall, as soon as practicable, provide the Company with medical documentation and other information reasonably sufficient to enable the Company to determine whether the Employee has a Disability.

If the Employee incurs a “separation from service” from the Company (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)) (a “Separation from Service”) during the Employment Term by reason of a termination of the Employee’s employment by the Company without Cause or the Employees’ resignation for Good Reason: (i) The Company shall pay Employee within thirty (30) days after the effective date of termination or by such earlier date if required by applicable law, (A) the aggregate amount of Employee’s earned but unpaid Base Salary then in effect, (B) incurred but unreimbursed documented reasonable reimbursable and necessary business expenses through the date of such termination, and (C) any other amounts due under applicable law, in each case earned and owing through the date of termination (the “Accrued Obligations”).

DocuSign Envelope ID: 4D40D7E1-B316-46D4-A6D7-2394C4A48FEC
Page 8 of 19 (iii) In addition to the Accrued Obligations, subject to (A) Section 5(c) below, (B) the Employee timely signing, delivering, and not revoking (if applicable) the Release (as defined in this Section 5(a)(iii)), and (C) the Employee’s compliance with the Employee’s post-termination obligations in Sections 6, 8, 9, 10, and 11 hereof following the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company, the Company shall (a) pay to the Employee severance equal to six (6) months of the Base Salary in effect on the date of termination, which shall be payable in equal installments in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices and subject to all customary withholding and deductions; (b) pay to the Employee a cash payment in an amount equal to the applicable COBRA premium payments (as reasonably determined by the administrator as of the time of Employee’s termination of employment) that would be payable by the Employee to continue the Employee’s company-provided medical, dental, and/or vision coverage for the participant and any dependents covered at the time of termination for a period of six (6) months; and (c) provide the Employee reasonable outplacement services, provided by a vendor chosen by the Company and at the Company’s expense, provided that such services shall not exceed the cost of Twenty Thousand Dollars and No/100 ($20,000.00) and shall not be provided for more than three (3) months (the foregoing benefits collectively referred to as the “Severance”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be a condition to the Employee’s right to receive the Severance that the Employee execute and deliver to the Company an effective general release of claims in a form prescribed by the Company, which form shall include, among customary terms and conditions, the survival of Employee’s post-termination obligations in Sections 6, 8, 9, 10, and 11 of this Agreement following termination of Employee’s employment with the Company (the “Release”), within twenty-one (21) days (or, to the extent required by law, forty-five (45) days) following the date of termination of Employee’s employment with the Company, and that the Employee not revoke such Release during any applicable revocation period (the combined review period and revocation period hereinafter referred to as the “Consideration Period”). Subject to Section 5(c) below, upon timely execution, delivery and non-revocation of the Release by Employee, the installment payments of the Severance shall begin on the first normal payroll date that is the later of (I) the date on which the Employee delivered to the Company the Release signed by the Employee, or (II) the end of any applicable revocation period (unless a longer period is required by law). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the earliest payment date determined under the preceding sentence is in one taxable year of the Employee and the latest possible payment date is in a second taxable year of the Employee, the first installment payment of Severance shall be made on the first normal payroll date that immediately follows the last date of the Consideration Period. (b) Termination By the Employee For Any Reason Other Than Good Reason; Termination By the Company For Cause; Termination Due to Death or Disability of Employee. If the Employee terminates the Employee’s employment and this Agreement for any reason other than Good Reason, the Company terminates the Employee’s employment and this Agreement for Cause, or due to the Employee’s death or Disability, then the Company’s obligation to compensate the Employee shall in all respects cease as of the date of termination, except that the Company shall pay to the Employee (or the Employee’s estate in the event of death) (i) the Accrued Obligations within thirty (30) days after the effective date of termination (or by such earlier date if required by applicable law), and (ii) the Earned Bonus for the prior year, if any, in accordance with Section 3(b)(i) hereof.

Page 9 of 19 (c) Six-Month Delay. To the maximum extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code, the Severance payable under Section 5(a)(iii) is intended to comply with the “separation pay exception” under ▇▇▇▇▇. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii). To the extent the overall Severance payable under Section 5(a)(iii) does not qualify for the “separation pay exception,” then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no compensation or benefits, including without limitation any Severance payable under Section 5(a)(iii) hereof, shall be paid to the Employee during the six (6) month period following the Employee’s termination of employment with the Company if the Company determines that paying such amounts at the time or times indicated in this Agreement would be a prohibited distribution under paragraph (a)(2)(B)(i) of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A of the Code”). If the payment of any such amounts is delayed as a result of the previous sentence, then on the first business day following the end of such six (6) month period (or such earlier date upon which such amount can be paid under Section 409A of the Code without resulting in a prohibited distribution, including as a result of the Employee’s death), the Company shall pay the Employee a lump-sum amount equal to the cumulative amount that would have otherwise been payable to the Employee during such delay period (without interest).

During the Employment Term and thereafter, Employee agrees: (i) to hold the Third Party Information in the strictest confidence, take all reasonable precautions to prevent the inadvertent disclosure of the Third Party Information to any unauthorized person, and follow all of the Company’s policies regarding protecting the Third Party Information; (ii) not to use, permit use of, discuss, disclose, transfer, or disseminate in any manner any Third Party Information, except as necessary in the performance of Employee’s duties for the Company Group; (iii) not to make, or cause to be made, copies (in any form or format) of the Third Party Information, except as necessary in the performance of Employee’s duties for the Company Group; and (iv) to promptly and fully advise the Company of all facts known to the Employee concerning any actual or threatened unauthorized use of the Third Party Information or disclosure of the Third Party Information to any unauthorized person about which Employee becomes aware. (d) Return of Confidential Information and Property. Upon termination of Employee’s employment with the Company, notwithstanding the reason or cause of termination, and at any other time upon written request by the Company, Employee shall promptly return to the Company all originals, copies, or duplicates, in any form or format (whether paper, electronic or other storage media), of the Confidential Information and the Third Party Information, as well as any and all other documents, computer discs, computer data, equipment, and property of the Company Group (including, but not limited to, keys, key fobs or access cards, cell phones, credit DocuSign Envelope ID: 4D40D7E1-B316-46D4-A6D7-2394C4A48FEC
Page 12 of 19 cards, hard drives and laptop computers if they have been provided to Employee), relating in any way to the business of the Company Group or in any way obtained by Employee during the course of Employee’s employment with the Company. Employee further agrees that after termination of Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee shall not retain any copies, notes, or abstracts in any form or format (whether paper, electronic or other storage media) of the Confidential Information, the Third Party Information, or other documents or property belonging to the Company Group. 7. [Intentionally Omitted] 8. Non-Disparagement. Employee and Company agree that at all times during and after the Employment Term, Employee and any member of the Company Group will not engage in any conduct that is injurious to the reputation or interests of the Employee or the Company Group, including, but not limited to, making disparaging comments via any media or method of communication (or inducing or encouraging others to make disparaging comments) about the Employee, Company Group, any of the shareholders, members, directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company Group, or the Company Group’s operations, financial condition, prospects, products or services. However, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit either Party from: exercising protected rights under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act; filing a charge with, participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by, or cooperating with any Government Agencies; testifying truthfully in any forum or before any Government Agencies; reporting possible violations of any law, rule or regulation to any Government Agencies; receiving legal advice, or making other disclosures that are required by law or protected under whistleblower provisions of any law, rule or regulation. 9. Intellectual Property. (a) Work Product Owned By the Company. Employee agrees that the Company or the applicable member of the Company Group (each individually the “Assigned Party”) is and will be the sole and exclusive owner of all ideas, inventions, discoveries, improvements, designs, plans, methods, works of authorship, deliverables, writings, brochures, manuals, know-how, method of conducting its business, policies, procedures, products, processes, software, or any enhancements, or documentation of or to the same and any other work product in any form or media that Employee made during the course of employment, makes, works on, conceives, or reduces to practice, individually or jointly with others, in the course of Employee’s past, current and future employment for the Assigned Party or with the use of the Assigned Party’s time, materials or facilities, and is in any way related or pertaining to or connected with the present or anticipated business, products or services of the Assigned Party whether produced during normal business hours or on personal time (collectively, “Work Products”). (b) Intellectual Property. “Intellectual Property” means any and all (i) copyrights and other rights associated with works of authorship, (ii) trade secrets and other confidential information, (iii) patents, patent disclosures and all rights in inventions (whether patentable or not), (iv) trademarks, trade names, Internet domain names, and registrations and applications for the registration thereof together with all of the goodwill associated therewith, (v) all other intellectual and industrial property rights of every kind and nature throughout the world and however designated, whether arising by operation of law, contract, license, or otherwise, and DocuSign Envelope ID: 4D40D7E1-B316-46D4-A6D7-2394C4A48FEC
Page 13 of 19 (vi) all registrations, applications, renewals, extensions, continuations, divisions, or reissues thereof now or hereafter in effect. (c) Assignment. Employee acknowledges Employee’s work and services provided for the Assigned Party and all results and proceeds thereof, including, the Work Products, are works done under Company Group’s direction and control and have been specially ordered or commissioned by the Company Group. To the extent the Work Products are copyrightable subject matter, they shall constitute “works made for hire” for the Company Group within the meaning of the Copyright Act of 1976, as amended, and shall be the exclusive property of the Assigned Party. Should any Work Product be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to not be a “work made for hire,” and for any other rights, Employee hereby assigns and transfers to Assigned Party, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all right, title, and interest in and to the Work Products, including but not limited to all Intellectual Property pertaining thereto, and in and to all works based upon, derived from, or incorporating such Work Products, and in and to all income, royalties, damages, claims and payments now or hereafter due or payable with respect thereto, and in and to all causes of action, either in law or in equity for past, present, or future infringement. Employee hereby waives and further agrees not to assert Employee’s rights known in various jurisdictions as moral rights and grants the Company Group the right to make changes, as the Company Group deems necessary, in the Work Products. (d) License of Intellectual Property Not Assigned. Notwithstanding the above, should Employee be deemed to own or have any Intellectual Property that is used, embodied, or reflected in the Work Products, Employee hereby grants to the Company Group, its successors and assigns, the non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, fully paid and royalty-free license, with rights to sublicense through multiple levels of sublicenses, to use, reproduce, publish, create derivative works of, market, advertise, distribute, sell, publicly perform and publicly display and otherwise exploit by all means now known or later developed the Work Products and Intellectual Property. (e) Maintenance; Disclosure; Execution; Attorney-In-Fact. Employee will, at the request and cost of the Assigned Party, sign, execute, make and do all such deeds, documents, acts and things as the Assigned Party and their duly authorized agents may reasonably require to apply for, obtain and vest in the name of the Assigned Party alone (unless the Assigned Party otherwise directs) letters patent, copyrights or other analogous protection in any country throughout the world and when so obtained or vested to renew and restore the same. In the event the Assigned Party is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure Employee’s signature on any letters patent, copyright or other analogous protection relating to a Work Product, whether because of Employee’s physical or mental incapacity or for any other reason whatsoever, Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Assigned Party and their duly authorized officers and agents as Employee’s agent and attorney-in-fact (which designation and appointment shall be (i) deemed coupled with an interest and (ii) irrevocable, and shall survive Employee’s death or incapacity), to act for and in Employee’s behalf and stead to execute and file any such application or applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of letters patent, copyright or other analogous protection thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Employee.

Page 14 of 19 (f) Employee’s Representations Regarding Work Products. Employee represents and warrants that all Work Products that Employee makes, works on, conceives, or reduces to practice, individually or jointly with others, in the course of performing Employee’s duties for Assigned Party under this Agreement are (i) original or an improvement of the Assigned Party’s prior Work Products and (ii) do not include, copy, use, or infringe any Intellectual Property rights of a third party. 10. Cooperation. Employee agrees that at all times during the Employee’s employment with the Company and at all times thereafter (including following the termination of the Employee’s employment for any reason), Employee will cooperate with all reasonable requests by the Company Group for assistance in connection with any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, involving the Company Group, including by providing truthful testimony in person in any such action, suit, or proceeding, and by providing information and meeting and consulting with the Board or their representatives or counsel, or representatives of or counsel to the Company Group, as reasonably requested; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any action, suit, or proceeding involving disputes between Employee and the Company Group arising under this Agreement or any other agreement. Employee shall be reasonably compensated for time spent at the Company Group’s request providing cooperation pursuant to this Section at an hourly rate equal to Employee’s Base Salary divided by 2,080. 11. Indemnification. During and after the Employment Term, the Employee shall be entitled to all rights to indemnification available under the by-laws, certificate of incorporation and any director and officer insurance policies of Greenlane and the Company, any indemnification agreement entered into between Greenlane and Employee, or to which Employee may otherwise be entitled through Greenlane, the Company, and/or any of their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, in accordance with their respective terms. 12. Severability; Independent Covenants. If any term or provision of this Agreement shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain enforceable and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions shall be modified so as to be valid and enforceable and shall be enforced as modified. If, moreover, any part of this Agreement is for any reason held too excessively broad as to time, duration, geographic scope, activity, or subject, it is the intent of the Parties that this Agreement shall be judicially modified by limiting or reducing it so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with the applicable law. The existence of any claim or cause of action of Employee against the Company Group (or against any member, shareholder, director, officer or employee thereof), whether arising out of the Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to: (i) the enforcement by the Company Group of any of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Agreement; or (ii) the Company Group’s entitlement to any remedies hereunder. Employee’s obligations under this Agreement are independent of any of the Company Group’s obligations to the Employee. 13. Remedies for Breach. Employee acknowledges and agrees that it would be difficult to measure the damages to the Company Group from any breach or threatened breach by Employee of this Agreement, including but not limited to Sections 6, 8, and 9 hereof; that injury to the Company Group from any such breach would be irreparable; and that money damages would therefore be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, Employee agrees that if DocuSign Envelope ID: 4D40D7E1-B316-46D4-A6D7-2394C4A48FEC
Page 15 of 19 Employee breaches or threatens to breach any of the promises contained in this Agreement, the Company Group shall, in addition to all other remedies it may have (including monetary remedies), be entitled to seek an injunction and/or equitable relief, on a temporary or permanent basis, to restrain any such breach or threatened breach without showing or proving any actual damage to the Company Group. Nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver of any right the Company Group may have or hereafter acquire to pursue any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including recovery of damages from Employee. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Employee shall not be entitled to any post-termination payments pursuant hereto during any period in which Employee is materially violating any of Employee’s obligations under Sections 6, 8, 9 or 10 hereof. 14. Assignment; Third-Party Beneficiaries. The rights of the Company under this Agreement may, without the consent of Employee, be assigned by the Company to (i) any person, firm, corporation, or other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase, merger, or otherwise, directly or indirectly, a controlling interest in the Company ( >50% of voting power), or all or substantially all of the Company’s stock or assets, or (ii) any affiliate or future affiliate of the Company, and such assignment by Company pursuant to this Section 14 shall automatically, and without any further action required by the Parties, relieve the assignor Company (and discharge and release the assignor Company) from all obligations and liabilities under or related to this Agreement (all such obligations and/or automatically liabilities assumed by the assignee Company). This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor or assigns of Company. Employee may not assign this Agreement without the written consent of the Company. Employee agrees that each member of the Company Group is an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement, and this Agreement, including other obligations set forth in Sections 6, 8, 9, and 10, are for each such member’s benefit. Employee expressly agrees and consents to the enforcement of this Agreement, including but not limited to other obligations in Sections 6, 8, 9, and 10 hereof, by any member of the Company Group as well as by the Company Group’s future affiliates, successors and/or assigns. 15. Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. In any action brought to enforce or otherwise interpret any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs from the non-prevailing Party to the action or proceeding, including through settlement, judgment and/or appeal. 16. Governing Law; Arbitration. (a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its choice of law principles, except where the application of federal law applies. (b) Arbitration. The Parties agree that any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement, to the maximum extent allowed by applicable law, shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration administered by JAMS, Inc. (“JAMS”) in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act and the JAMS Employment Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “Rules”) then in effect, and conducted in Boca Raton, Florida by a single neutral arbitrator selected in accordance with the Rules. The Rules can be found at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇- employment-arbitration/. In arbitration, the Parties have the right to be represented by legal DocuSign Envelope ID: 4D40D7E1-B316-46D4-A6D7-2394C4A48FEC
Page 16 of 19 counsel; the arbitrator shall permit adequate discovery sufficient to allow the Parties to vindicate their claims and may not limit the Parties’ rights to reasonable discovery; the Parties shall have the right to subpoena witnesses to compel their attendance at hearings and to cross-examine witnesses; the Parties shall have the right to file dispositive motions, including motions for summary judgment or adjudication, without the prior approval of the arbitrator; and the arbitrator's decision shall be in writing and shall contain essential findings of fact and conclusions of law on which the award is based. The arbitrator shall have the power to resolve all disputes and award any type of legal or equitable relief, to the extent such relief is available under applicable law. Employee will be responsible for paying any initial case management fee, but all other costs of arbitration will be borne by the Company. The parties agree that all fee deposits, as provided under JAMS Employment Rule 31(b), will be due within 30 days of the issuance of the invoice unless the parties mutually agree to extend the time to pay the invoice, or the arbitrator orders the deadline extended based on a showing of good cause. Any award by the arbitrator may be entered as a judgment in any court having jurisdiction in an action to confirm or enforce the arbitration award. Except as necessary to confirm or enforce an award, the Parties agree to keep all arbitration proceedings completely confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may seek preliminary injunctive and/or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in support of claims to be prosecuted in arbitration. In the event a dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement is found to fall outside of the arbitration provision in this Section 16(b), the Parties agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts in Palm Beach County, Florida for the resolution of such dispute, controversy, or claim. (c) Employee acknowledges that this agreement to arbitration of claims set forth in Section 16(b) above is entered freely and knowingly, as part of an arms-length negotiation, and Employee has not been coerced, threatened, or forced into this agreement, nor has the Company conditioned employment, on-going employment, or the receipt of any employment- related benefit, upon the acceptance of the covenants in Section 16(b). 17. Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial in Court Proceedings. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO DEMAND A TRIAL BY JURY FOR ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, RIGHT, ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES. THIS WAIVER EXTENDS TO ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO DEMAND A TRIAL BY JURY ARISING FROM ANY SOURCE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES, THE CONSTITUTION OF ANY STATE, COMMON LAW OR ANY APPLICABLE STATUTE OR REGULATION. EACH PARTY HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVING THE RIGHT TO DEMAND TRIAL BY JURY. 18. Waiver. No waiver of any breach or other rights under this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver unless the acknowledgment of the waiver is in writing executed by the Party committing the waiver. No waiver shall be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach or rights. All rights are cumulative under this Agreement. The failure or delay of the Company at any time or times to require performance of, or to exercise any of its powers, rights or remedies with respect to any term or provision of this Agreement or any other aspect of Employee’s conduct or employment in no manner (except as otherwise expressly provided herein) shall affect the Company’s right at a later time to enforce any such term or provision.

Page 17 of 19 19. Survival. Employee’s post-termination obligations and the Company Group’s post- termination rights under Sections 6 through 19 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company regardless of the reason for termination; shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms; and shall continue to be binding on the Parties. 20. Independent Advice. Employee acknowledges that the Company has provided Employee with a reasonable opportunity to obtain independent legal advice with respect to this Agreement, and that either: (a) Employee has had such independent legal advice prior to executing this Agreement; or (b) Employee has willingly chosen not to obtain such advice and to execute this Agreement without having obtained such advice. 21. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, arrangements, promises and commitments, whether written or oral, express or implied, relating to the subject matter hereof, and all such prior agreements, understandings, arrangements, promises and commitments, including but not limited to the Employment Agreement, are hereby canceled and terminated. For avoidance of doubt, this Agreement does not supersede, nullify, or otherwise impact any retention bonuses or equity grants issued to Employee prior to the Effective Date. 22. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or modified in whole or in part except by an instrument in writing signed by the Party or Parties against whom enforcement of such amendment, supplement, or modification is sought. 23. Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given: (a) upon delivery, if delivered by hand; (b) three (3) days after the date of deposit in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed by certified U.S. mail; or (c) on the next business day, if sent by e-mail or prepaid overnight courier service.

It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement are either exempt from or comply with the terms and conditions of Section 409A of the Code and to the extent that the requirements of Section 409A of the Code are applicable thereto, all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no liability with regard to any failure to comply with Section 409A of the Code. If under this Agreement, an amount is to be paid in two (2) or more installments, for purposes of Section 409A of the Code each installment shall be treated as a separate payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary or otherwise, except to the extent any expense, reimbursement or in-kind benefit provided pursuant to this Agreement does not constitute a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other guidance thereunder: (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to Employee during any calendar year will not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to Employee in any other calendar year; (ii) the reimbursements for expenses for which Employee is entitled to be reimbursed shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the applicable expense is incurred; and (iii) the right to payment or reimbursement or in-kind benefits hereunder may not be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit. 25.
