On May 1, 2025, Cineverse Corp. (the “Company”) entered into an employment agreement with Christopher J. McGurk (the “McGurk Employment Agreement”). The McGurk Employment Agreement takes effect on May 1, 2025, and replaced the current employment agreement between the Company and Mr. McGurk (the “Prior Agreement”) that became effective on April 1, 2023. The McGurk Employment Agreement has a term ending on April 30, 2027 with an automatic one-year renewal unless either party provides written notice to the other no later than ninety days prior to the expiration of the initial term. Pursuant to the McGurk Employment Agreement, Mr. McGurk will continue to serve as the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).

The McGurk Employment Agreement also provides that will receive an annual base salary of $650,000 and will be eligible for (i) under the Company’s Management Annual Incentive Plan (“MAIP”), a target bonus opportunity of $650,000 (the “Target Bonus”) consistent with goals established from time to time by the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of Board, (ii) under the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for 120,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), which (a) will vest in three equal annual installments following the grant date, (b) may be paid out in cash, Common Stock, or a combination thereof, as the Company may determine, and (c) shall immediately vest upon Mr. McGurk’s termination within two (2) years following a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) other than termination for Cause (as defined in the McGurk Employment Agreement) or resignation for Good Reason (as defined in the McGurk Employment Agreement). Mr. McGurk will also be entitled to participate in all benefit plans and programs that the Company provides to its senior executives.

The McGurk Employment Agreement provides that, in the event of a termination without Cause (as defined in the McGurk Employment Agreement) or a resignation for Good Reason (as defined in the McGurk Employment Agreement), Mr. McGurk shall be entitled to payment of (i) the greater of any Base Salary for the remainder of the Term or eighteen (18) months’ Base Salary at the time of termination and (ii) an amount equivalent to one and one-half (1.5) times the average of the last two (2) bonus payments under the MAIP, if any, under the McGurk Employment Agreement. In the event of, on or after May 1, 2025 and during the Term, and within two (2) years after a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), a termination without Cause (other than due to Mr. McGurk’s death or disability), a resignation for Good Reason, or upon notice by the Company that it does not wish to renew the Term (as defined in the McGurk Employment Agreement), then in lieu of receiving the amounts described above, Mr. McGurk would be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to three (3) times the sum of (a) his then-current annual Base Salary and (b) his Target Bonus for the year of termination.

The foregoing description of the McGurk Employment Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.

On May 1, 2025, the Company also entered into an employment agreement with each of Erick Opeka and Gary Loffredo (the “Opeka Employment Agreement” and the “Loffredo Employment Agreement,” respectively, and collectively, the “2025 Employment Agreements”). Each of the 2025 Employment Agreements is effective as of May 1, 2025 and supersedes the prior employment agreements between the Company and each of Mr. Opeka and Mr. Loffredo. Each of the 2025 Employment Agreements has a term ending on April 30, 2027 with an automatic one-year renewal unless either party provides written notice to the other no later than ninety days prior to the expiration of the initial term.

Pursuant to the Opeka Employment Agreement, Mr. Opeka will continue to serve as the President and Chief Strategy Officer of the Company. The Opeka Employment Agreement also provides that Mr. Opeka will receive an annual base salary of $475,000 and will be eligible for (i) a target bonus opportunity under the MAIP (the “Target Bonus”) of $356,250 consistent with goals established from time to time by the Compensation Committee, and (ii) under the Plan, RSUs for 94,550 shares of Common Stock. Mr. Opeka will also be entitled to participate in all benefit plans and programs that the Company provides to its senior executives.

Mr. Loffredo will also be entitled to participate in all benefit plans and programs that the Company provides to its senior executives.

Each of the Opeka Employment Agreement and Loffredo Employment Agreement provides that, in the event of a termination without Cause (as defined in the relevant Employment Agreement) or a resignation for Good Reason (as defined in the relevant Employment Agreement), Mr. Opeka and Mr. Loffredo, as applicable, shall be entitled to payment of 12 months’ Base Salary at the time of termination. In the event of, on or after May 1, 2025 and during the Term, and within two (2) years after a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), a termination without Cause (other than due to death or disability), a resignation for Good Reason, or upon notice by the Company that it does not wish to renew the Term (as defined in the 2025 Employment Agreements) (“CIC Termination”), then in lieu of receiving the amounts described above, Mr. Opeka and Mr. Loffredo would be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to two times the sum of (a) each of their then-current annual Base Salary and (b) their Target Bonus under the MAIP for the year of termination.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Company and the Employee entered into an amended and restated employment agreement on October 17, 2022, which became effective on April 1, 2023, and which expires on March 31, 2026 (“Prior Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Prior Agreement was referenced in a Waiver of Termination for Good Reason Letter signed by the Employee and dated April 28, 2023 (“Supplemental Letter”); and

WHEREAS, the Company and the Employee desire that effective May 1, 2025, the Prior Agreement, other than the Supplemental Letter, be replaced by this new Agreement in its entirety;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1.Employment.

(a)The Company agrees to employ the Employee, and the Employee agrees to be employed by the Company under the terms of this Agreement, for the period stated in paragraph 3 hereof and upon the other terms and conditions herein provided.

(b)The Employee affirms and represents that, other than as provided herein, he is under no obligation to any party that is in any way inconsistent with, or that imposes material restrictions upon, the Employee’s employment by the Company or the Employee's responsibilities or undertakings under this Agreement.

2.Position and Responsibilities. The Employee shall continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). The Employee’s principal place of employment will be located in metropolitan Los Angeles, California or remotely as agreed by the Employee and the Company. The Employee shall be responsible for such duties as are commensurate with his office and as may from time to time be reasonably assigned to the Employee by the Board. The Employee shall report directly to the Board of Directors of the Company. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Employee will devote his substantial full business time throughout the Term to the services required of him hereunder. The Employee will render his business services to the Company during the Term and will use his best efforts, judgment and energy to improve and advance the operations, programs, services and interests of the Company in a manner consistent with the duties of his position.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as long as it does not materially interfere with the Employee’s employment hereunder, the Employee may participate in educational, welfare, social, religious and civic organizations. The Employee may serve on additional boards of directors only with the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board (“Committee”), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

3.Term. Except as otherwise provided for herein, the term of this Agreement (“the Term”) shall be from May 1, 2025 (the “Effective Date”) to April 30,2027. This Agreement shall automatically renew for another one (1) year term, unless either party provides written notice to the other party no later than ninety (90) days before the expiration of the Term that the party does not wish to renew the Term of this Agreement. Upon the expiration of the Term, this Agreement, except for the provisions that survive pursuant to this paragraph 3 and paragraphs 8 and 6(c), will have no further force or effect.

4.Compensation, Reimbursement of Expenses.

(a)Salary. For all services rendered by the Employee in any capacity during his employment under this Agreement, including, without limitation, service as an executive, officer, director, or member of any committee of the Company or of any subsidiary, affiliate, or division thereof, the Company shall pay the Employee, in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices, a salary (“Base Salary”) at the rate of $650,000 per year commencing with the Effective Date, subject to annual reviews and increases in the sole discretion of the Committee.

(b)Bonus. Employee shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s Management Annual Incentive Plan or any amended or successor plan thereto (“MAIP”). The target bonus shall be one hundred percent 100% of Base Salary (each such target bonus for the applicable fiscal year, the “Target Bonus”). The Employee’s Target Bonus shall be based on Company performance with goals to be established annually by the Compensation Committee with consultation of the Employee provided that the ultimate decision shall be made by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion. Bonuses shall be paid at the same time bonuses are paid to other executives of the Company, which payment shall be during the calendar year that includes the close of such fiscal year, but no later than August 31st following the fiscal year for which the bonus is earned, and shall be subject to the terms of the MAIP.

(c)Reimbursement of Expenses. In accordance with Company policies then in effect, the Company shall pay directly, or reimburse the Employee for, reasonable travel, entertainment and other business-related expenses incurred by the Employee in the performance of his duties under this Agreement.

(d)Restricted Stock Units. The Employee is a participant in the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (“EIP”) and shall be awarded 120,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) as approved by the Board of Directors. The RSUs will be subject to a three-year vesting schedule and shall be subject to the Company’s discretion to pay such award in cash or in stock. The award described in this paragraph will be subject to the specific terms of a separate Notice of Award that will be provided to the Employee, provided, however, that, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this paragraph and the Notices of Award, the provisions of

2

this paragraph shall control. In addition to the foregoing, if, prior to the end of the Term, the Company terminates this Agreement and the Employee's employment for any reason other than for Cause (and other than due to the Employee’s death or Disability) or if the Employee resigns for Good Reason (as defined as defined in Section 6 below), the Employee shall become fully vested in (i) the RSUs granted pursuant to this Section 4(d), as well as (ii) the Restricted Stock Unit and Restricted Stock Award grants made to Employee as of April 25, 2024.

5.Participation in Benefit Plans; Office Support. The Employee will be eligible to participate in all benefit plans and programs that the Company provides to its senior executives in line with the Company’s current practices, including medical, dental, vision, disability, life insurance and paid time off plans, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of such benefit plans and programs as may be modified by the Company in its sole discretion or as required by law from time to time.

To the extent and only at such time as the Employee is working in-person and not remotely-- the Company will provide the Employee with office and clerical support appropriate to his position, including a private office, an administrative assistant and parking privileges. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee will not at anytime be entitled to any automobile allowance.

6.Termination.

(a)The Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and the Employee’s employment prior to the expiration of the Term for “Cause” (as defined below). The Employee has the right to resign and terminate this Agreement at any time without “Good Reason” (as defined below) upon thirty (30) days’ written notice, which notice period may be waived at the discretion of the Company. The Company shall have no obligations to the Employee for any period subsequent to the effective date of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this paragraph 6(a), except any and all obligations provided by law and the payment of Base Salary (pursuant to paragraph 4(a)) up to and including the termination date, bonus earned and approved by the Committee (pursuant to paragraph 4(b) and/or 4(e)), reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to the termination date (pursuant to paragraph 4(c)), and benefits accrued prior to the termination date (pursuant to paragraph 5).

(b) The Company shall also have the right to terminate this Agreement and the Employee’s employment prior to the expiration of the Term other than for Cause upon thirty (30) days’ notice and the Employee has the right to resign and terminate this Agreement at any time for Good Reason (each such termination shall not include a termination of Employee’s employment with the Company due to the Employee’s death or Disability). If, prior to the end of the Term, the Company terminates this Agreement and the Employee's employment for any reason other than for Cause (and other than due to the Employee’s death or Disability) or if the Employee resigns for Good Reason (as defined below), the Employee shall be entitled to receive the amounts payable under paragraph 6(a), plus the payment of (i) any Salary for the remainder of the Term or eighteen (18) month’s Base Salary at the time of termination, whichever is greater and (ii) an amount equivalent to one and one-half (1.5) times the average of the last two (2) payments of the MAIP Bonus, if any, under this Agreement (collectively referred to herein as “Severance”). Subject to paragraph 6(f) below, the Severance shall be paid in equal monthly

3

installments, as of the first day of each month following the date of termination; provided that the first of such payments shall be made in the month following sixty (60) days after such termination, and the first of such payments shall include any amounts that would have been payable absent the 60-day delay in commencement date, and such payments shall continue for the duration of the Term or such 18-month period, as applicable (which payment period is referred to herein as the “Severance Period”). The Company shall be entitled to reduce the amounts paid under this paragraph 6(b) by the amounts paid to the Employee in the same period by any other entity.

(c)If, beginning on May 1, 2025 and prior to the end of the Term, and within two (2) years after a Change in Control (as defined in the EIP), the Employee’s employment is terminated (i) by the Company without Cause (and other than due to the Employee’s death or Disability), (ii) by the Employee for Good Reason, or (iii) upon notice by the Company under paragraph 3 of this Agreement that the Company does not wish to renew the Term of this Agreement, then in lieu of the amount payable under paragraph 6(b), Employee will receive a lump sum payment equal to three (3) times the sum of (a) Employee’s then-current annual Base Salary, and (b) Employee’s Target Bonus for the year of termination; provided, however, that such payment shall be limited to an amount which would not result in an “excess parachute payment” as that term is defined in Internal Revenue Code section 280G, as determined in the sole good faith discretion of the Company. Subject to paragraph 6(f) below, payment of the amount due under this paragraph 6(c) shall be made as soon as practicable following the date on which the termination occurs; but in no event later than sixty (60) days following the date of such termination and the Employee will not have the right to designate the taxable year of the payment.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means any of the following: (i) the Employee’s conviction of or plea of nolo contendere to a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude, (ii) the Employee’s material breach of a material provision of this Agreement that is not corrected within thirty (30) days following written notice of such breach sent by the Company to the Employee, (iii) the Employee’s willful misconduct in the performance of his material duties under this Agreement, (iv) the Employee’s performance of his material duties in a manner that is grossly negligent, and (v) the Employee’s failure to attempt to fully comply with any lawful directive of the Board which is not corrected within thirty (30) days following written notice of such breach sent by the Company to the Employee. Whether or not “Cause” exists shall be determined solely by the Company in its reasonable, good faith discretion.

(e)For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means, without the Employee's written consent, (i) a material and substantially adverse reduction in title or job responsibilities compared with title or job responsibilities on the Effective Date, which may include a change of title and position during the Term (provided that such change in title relates to a material and substantially adverse reduction in job responsibilities or reporting structure), (ii) any requirement that the Employee relocate to a work location more than 50 miles from the metropolitan Los Angeles area; or (iii) any material breach of the Agreement by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Good Reason will be deemed to exist only in the event that: (i) the Employee gives written notice to the Company of his claim of Good Reason and the specific grounds for his claim within ninety (90) days following the occurrence of the event upon which his claim rests, (ii) the Company fails to cure such breach within thirty days (30) of receiving

4

such notice (“Cure Period”), and (iii) the Employee gives written notice to the Company to terminate his employment within fifteen (15) days following the Cure Period.

(f)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Employee is a “specified employee” (as such term is defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”)) and the provisions of Treasury Regulation 1.409A-3(i)(2) apply because payments due under this Agreement constitute deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A, payments under this paragraph 6 shall in no event be made prior to six months after the Participant’s separation from service (the “Suspension Period”). All payments suspended during the Suspension Period will be paid in a lump sum and the normal payment schedule will resume at the end of the Suspension Period. Each of the affected payments under this paragraph (f) shall be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

(g)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Employee shall not be entitled to Severance or Change in Control payments, and the Company shall not be obligated to make such payments, under this paragraph 6 unless (i) the Employee materially complies with the restrictive covenants by which he is bound (whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise), including, but not limited to, any non-solicitation agreement, confidentiality agreement or invention assignment agreement signed by the Employee, and (ii) the Employee executes, delivers and does not revoke a commercially reasonable general release in form and substance acceptable to both the Company and Employee no later than sixty (60) days following the effective date of termination of employment. To the extent the Company makes any Severance or Change in Control payment to the Employee prior to the execution and delivery or a permissible revocation of the release described in clause (ii), the Employee fails to execute or deliver the release or otherwise revokes the release, then the Employee will be obligated to repay to the Company the full amount of any such Severance or Change in Control payment theretofore made to the Employee within ninety (90) days following the termination of the Employee’s employment.

7.Death or Disability. Upon the death or Disability (as defined below) of the Employee prior to the end of the Term, this Agreement shall terminate and no further payments shall be made other than those required by law and (a) the payment of Base Salary (pursuant to paragraph 4(a)) up to and including the termination date, (b) any bonus earned and approved by the Committee (pursuant to paragraph 4(b)), (c) reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to such termination (pursuant to paragraph 4(c)), and (d) benefits (pursuant to paragraph 5) accrued prior to the date of such death or Disability but not yet paid. For purposes of this paragraph 7, Disability shall mean any physical or mental incapacity that is documented by qualified medical experts and that results in the Employee’s inability to perform his essential material duties and responsibilities for the Company, with reasonable accommodation, for a period of ninety (90) days in any consecutive twelve (12) month period, all as determined in the good faith judgment of the Board.

8.Restrictive Covenants. The Employee hereby covenants, agrees and acknowledges as follows:

(a)Confidential Information. In the course of his employment by the Company, the Employee will receive and/or be in possession of confidential information of the

5

Company and its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates and divisions, including, but not limited to, information relating to: (i) operational procedures, financial statements or other financial information, contract proposals, business plans, training and operations methods and manuals, personnel records, and management systems policies or procedures; (ii) information pertaining to future plans and developments; and (iii) other tangible and intangible property that is used in the operations of the Company but not made public. The information and trade secrets relating to the business of the Company described in this paragraph 8(a) are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Confidential Information,” provided that the term Confidential Information will not include any information: (x) that is or becomes generally publicly available (other than as a result of violation of this Agreement by the Employee or someone under his control or direction or (y) that the Employee receives on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than the Company or its representatives) that is not known by him to be bound by an obligation of secrecy or confidentiality to the Company.

(b)Non-Disclosure. The Employee agrees that he will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, during the period of his employment or at any time thereafter, disclose or make use of any such Confidential Information, except as may be required by law (and, in such case, he will immediately notify the Company of such disclosure request) or in the course of his employment hereunder. The Employee agrees that all tangible materials containing Confidential Information, whether created by the Employee or others, that comes into his custody or possession during his employment, will be and are the exclusive property of the Company.

(c)Return of Confidential Information and Property. Upon termination of the Employee’s employment for any reason whatsoever, he will immediately surrender to the Company all Confidential Information and property of the Company in his possession, custody or control in whatever form maintained (including, without limitation, computer discs and other electronic media), including all copies thereof. The Employee shall be allowed to make and keep a copy of all personal information, including, but not limited to, personal information contained in his contacts directory. Any Confidential Information that cannot be returned or destroyed shall be kept confidential by the Employee at all times.

(d)Non-Solicitation/No-Hiring. The Employee agrees that, while employed by the Company and for the greater of one year after the cessation of his employment with the Company for any reason or the period during which the Employee receives Severance or Change in Control payments, he will not (i) solicit or induce or attempt to solicit or induce any employee, director or consultant to terminate his or her employment or other engagement with the Company or (ii) employ or retain (or in any way assist, participate in or arrange for the employment or retention of) any person who is employed or retained by the Company or any of its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates and divisions or who was employed or retained by the Company or any of its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates and divisions both within the six (6) month period immediately preceding the Employee’s contemplated employment or retention of such person and on the date the Employee’s employment with the Company ended.

(e)Injunctive Relief and Other Remedies. The Employee acknowledges that the foregoing confidentiality and non-solicitation/no hiring provisions are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Company and its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates and divisions,

6

and that they will be materially and irrevocably damaged if these provisions are not specifically enforced. Accordingly, the Employee agrees that, in addition to any other relief or remedies available to the Company and its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates and divisions, the Company will be entitled to seek an appropriate injunctive or other equitable remedy for the purposes of restraining Employee from any actual or threatened breach of those provisions, and no bond or security will be required in connection therewith. If any of the foregoing confidentiality and non-solicitation/no hiring provisions are deemed invalid or unenforceable, these provisions will be deemed modified and limited to the extent necessary to make them valid and enforceable.

9.Tax Withholding. The Company shall withhold from any benefits payable under this Agreement all federal, state, local or other taxes as shall be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation or ruling.

10.Effect of Prior Agreements. Other than the terms of the Supplemental Letter, which shall continue to apply as part of this Agreement, this Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements between the Company and the Employee.

(b)No Attachment. Except as required by law, no right to receive payments under this Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge, or hypothecation or to execution, attachment, levy, or similar process or assignment by operation of law, and any attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to effect any such action shall be null, void and of no effect.

(c)Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Employee and the Company and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

7

(d)Voluntary Agreement; Compliance with California Labor Code § 925. The Parties represent and agree that they are knowingly and voluntarily entering into this Agreement with a full knowledge and understanding with respect to its terms and their effects. Further, the Employee represents and warrants that, consistent with and in satisfaction of the requirements of California Labor Code Section 925, he was individually and competently represented by competent legal counsel of his choice in the negotiation of drafting of the terms of this Agreement; that such counsel negotiated with the Company the choice-of-law and forum selection provisions of Section 16 of this Agreement; that the Employee’s counsel explained to the Employee the intention and effect of the provisions of Section 16; and that the Employee, with that understanding, intends to be bound by such provisions, including with respect to the designation of the choice of law, forum and venue in which any controversy arising from the interpretation, meaning or effect of the terms of this Agreement are to be applied.

(e)Compliance with 409A.

(i)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it is intended that the provisions of this Agreement satisfy the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered, as necessary, so that the payments and benefits set forth herein either shall be exempt from or shall comply with the requirements of Section 409A. To the extent that the Company determines that any provision of this Agreement would cause the Employee to incur any additional tax or interest under Section 409A, the Company shall be entitled to reform such provision to attempt to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A.

(ii)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or elsewhere to the contrary, 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 that constitute “non-qualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A upon or following a termination of the Employee’s employment 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 of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service” and the date of such separation from service shall be the termination date for purposes of any such payment or benefits. In no event may the Employee, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under this Agreement or otherwise which constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A.

(iii)All expenses or other reimbursements paid pursuant to this Agreement or other policy or program of the Company that are taxable income to the Employee shall in no event be paid later than the end of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the Employee incurs such expense or pays such related tax.

8

expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year, and (iii) such payments shall be made on or before the last day of the Employee’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred.

(iv)Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement between the Employee and the Company or any policy, plan, program or arrangement of the Company shall constitute any representation or warranty by the Company regarding compliance with Section 409A.

(v)Each payment that the Employee may receive under this Agreement (and any right to a series of installment payments) shall be treated as a “separate payment” for purposes of Section 409A.

13.Entire Agreement; Modification; Waiver.

(c)Waiver. No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived, nor shall there be any estoppel against the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement, except by written instrument of the party charged with such waiver or estoppel. No such written waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver shall operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of such term or condition for the future or as to any act other than that specifically waived.

14.Severability. If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement not held so invalid, and each such other provision shall to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect.

18.Authority to Enter into this Agreement. Both the Company and the Employee represent that they have the authority to enter into this Agreement and neither party is subject to any restriction or limitation that would prevent them from performing their duties and obligations hereunder.

19.Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify the Employee in the event the Employee is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or contemplated action, suit, or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that the Employee is an officer or director of the Company against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the Employee in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding if the Employee acted in good faith and in a manner the Employee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the Employee’s conduct was unlawful.

6.Termination.

(a)The Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and the Employee’s employment prior to the expiration of the Term for “Cause” (as defined below). The Employee has the right to resign and terminate this Agreement at any time without “Good Reason” (as defined below) upon thirty (30) days’ written notice, which notice period may be waived at the discretion of the Company. The Company shall have no obligations to the Employee for any period subsequent to the effective date of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this paragraph 6(a), except any and all obligations provided by law and the payment of Base Salary (pursuant to paragraph 4(a)) up to and including the termination date, bonus earned and approved by the Committee (pursuant to paragraph 4(b) and/or 4(e)), reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to the termination date (pursuant to paragraph 4(c)), and benefits accrued prior to the termination date (pursuant to paragraph 5).

(b)The Company shall also have the right to terminate this Agreement and the Employee’s employment prior to the expiration of the Term other than for Cause upon thirty (30) days’ notice and the Employee has the right to resign and terminate this Agreement at any time for Good Reason (each such termination shall not include a termination of employee’s employment with the Company due to the Employee’s death or Disability). If, prior to the end of the Term, the Company terminates this Agreement and the Employee's employment for any reason other than for Cause (and other than due to the Employee’s death or Disability) or if the Employee resigns for Good Reason (as defined below), the Employee shall be entitled to receive the amounts payable under paragraph 6(a), and the Base Salary for the twelve (12) month period following termination of employment (the “Severance Period”), subject to Paragraphs 6(f) below, to be paid in equal monthly installments, as of the first day of each month following the date of termination; provided that, except as provided in 6(f) below if applicable, the first of such payments shall be made in the month following sixty (60) days after such termination and shall include any amounts that would have been payable absent the 60-day delay in commencement date, and such payments shall continue for such twelve-month period; and provided further that, the Company may elect in its sole discretion to pay any amounts due under this Paragraph 6(b) as a one-time, lump-sum amount, less applicable statutory deductions and authorized withholdings, in the month following sixty (60) days after such termination.

3

paragraph 3 of this Agreement that the Company does not wish to renew the Term of this Agreement, then in lieu of the amount payable under paragraph 6(b), Employee will receive a lump sum payment equal to two (2) times the sum of (a) Employee’s then-current annual Base Salary, and (b) Employee’s Target Bonus for the year of termination; provided, however, that such payment shall be limited to an amount which would not result in an “excess parachute payment” as that term is defined in Internal Revenue Code section 280G, as determined in the sole good faith discretion of the Company. Subject to paragraph 6(f) below, payment of the amount due under this paragraph 6(c) shall be made as soon as practicable following the date on which the termination occurs; but in no event later than sixty (60) days following the date of such termination and the Employee will not have the right to designate the taxable year of the payment.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means any of the following: (i) the Employee’s conviction of or plea of nolo contendere to a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude, (ii) the Employee’s material breach of a material provision of this Agreement that is not corrected within thirty (30) days following written notice of such breach sent by the Company to the Employee, (iii) the Employee’s willful misconduct in the performance of their material duties under this Agreement, (iv) the Employee’s performance of their material duties in a manner that is grossly negligent, and (v) the Employee’s failure to attempt to fully comply with any lawful directive of the CEO which is not corrected within thirty (30) days following written notice of such breach sent by the Company to the Employee. Whether or not “Cause” exists shall be determined solely by the Company in its reasonable, good faith discretion.

(e)For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means, without the Employee's written consent, (i) a material and substantially adverse reduction in title or job responsibilities compared with title or job responsibilities on the Effective Date, which may include a change of title and position during the Term (provided that such change in title relates to a material and substantially adverse reduction in job responsibilities or reporting structure), (ii) any requirement that the Employee relocate to a work location that results in a driving commute of at least two hours more than the Employee’s driving commute just prior to the work relocation, provided, however, that this subparagraph (e)(ii) shall constitute a Good Reason event hereunder only if the Employee’s regular workplace is a Company-designated office (i.e., they are not working remotely or otherwise) at the time of the required relocation; or (iii) any material breach of the Agreement by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Good Reason will be deemed to exist only in the event that: (a) the Employee gives written notice to the Company of their claim of Good Reason and the specific grounds for their claim within ninety (90) days following the occurrence of the event upon which their claim rests, (b) the Company fails to cure such breach within thirty days (30) of receiving such notice (“Cure Period”), and (c) the Employee gives written notice to the Company to terminate their employment within fifteen (15) days following the Cure Period.

(f)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Employee is a “specified employee” (as such term is defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”)) and the provisions of Treasury Regulation 1.409A-3(i)(2) apply because payments due under this Agreement constitute deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A, payments under this paragraph 6 shall in no event be made prior to six months after the Participant’s separation from service (the “Suspension Period”). All payments suspended during the Suspension Period will be

4

paid in a lump sum and the normal payment schedule will resume at the end of the Suspension Period. Each of the affected payments under this paragraph (f) shall be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

(g)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Employee shall not be entitled to Severance or Change in Control payments, and the Company shall not be obligated to make such payments, under this paragraph 6 unless (i) the Employee materially complies with the restrictive covenants by which they are bound (whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise), including, but not limited to, any non-competition agreement,non-solicitation agreement, confidentiality agreement or invention assignment agreement signed by the Employee, and (ii) the Employee executes, delivers and does not revoke a commercially reasonable general release in form and substance acceptable to both the Company and Employee no later than sixty (60) days following the effective date of termination of employment. To the extent the Company makes any Severance or Change in Control payment to the Employee prior to the execution and delivery or a permissible revocation of the release described in clause (ii), the Employee fails to execute or deliver the release or otherwise revokes the release, then the Employee will be obligated to repay to the Company the full amount of any such Severance or Change in Control payment theretofore made to the Employee, within ninety (90) days following the termination of the Employee’s employment.

7.Death or Disability. Upon the death or Disability (as defined below) of the Employee prior to the end of the Term, this Agreement shall terminate and no further payments shall be made other than those required by law and (a) the payment of Base Salary (pursuant to paragraph 4(a)) up to and including the termination date, (b) any bonus earned and approved by the Committee (pursuant to paragraph 4(b)), (c) EIP Awards pursuant to the terms of those Awards, (d) reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to such termination (pursuant to paragraph 4(c)), and (e) benefits (pursuant to paragraph 5) accrued prior to the date of such death or Disability but not yet paid. For purposes of this paragraph 7, Disability shall mean any physical or mental incapacity that is documented by qualified medical experts and that results in the Employee’s inability to perform their essential material duties and responsibilities for the Company, with reasonable accommodation, for a period of ninety (90) days in any consecutive twelve (12) month period, all as determined in the good faith judgment of the Board.

6.Termination.

a.The Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and the Employee’s employment prior to the expiration of the Term for “Cause” (as defined below). The Employee has the right to resign and terminate this Agreement at any time without “Good Reason” (as defined below) upon thirty (30) days’ written notice, which notice period may be waived at the discretion of the Company. The Company shall have no obligations to the Employee for any period subsequent to the effective date of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this paragraph 6(a), except any and all obligations provided by law and the payment of Base Salary (pursuant to paragraph 4(a)) up to and including the termination date, bonus earned and approved by the Committee (pursuant to paragraph 4(b) and/or 4(e)), reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to the termination date (pursuant to paragraph 4(c)), and benefits accrued prior to the termination date (pursuant to paragraph 5).

b.The Company shall also have the right to terminate this Agreement and the Employee’s employment prior to the expiration of the Term other than for Cause upon thirty (30) days’ notice and the Employee has the right to resign and terminate this Agreement at any time for Good Reason (each such termination shall not include a termination of employee’s employment with the Company due to the Employee’s death or Disability). If, prior to the end of the Term, the Company terminates this Agreement and the Employee's employment for any reason other than for Cause (and other than due to the Employee’s death or Disability) or if the Employee resigns for Good Reason (as defined below), the Employee shall be entitled to receive the amounts payable under paragraph 6(a), and the Base Salary for the twelve (12) month period following termination of employment (the “Severance Period”), subject to Paragraphs 6(f) below, to be paid in equal monthly installments, as of the first day of each month following the date of termination; provided that, except as provided in 6(f) below if applicable, the first of such payments shall be made in the month following sixty (60) days after such termination and shall include any amounts that would have been payable absent the 60-day delay in commencement date, and such payments shall continue for such twelve-month period; and provided further that, the Company may elect in its sole discretion to pay any amounts due under this Paragraph 6(b) as a one-time, lump-sum amount, less applicable statutory deductions and authorized withholdings, in the month following sixty (60) days after such termination. The Company shall be entitled to reduce the amounts paid under this Paragraph 6(b) by the amounts paid to the Employee in the same period by any other entity that employs the Employee after the Employee’s termination date with the Company.

c.If, beginning on May 1, 2025 and prior to the end of the Term, and within two (2) years after a Change in Control (as defined in the EIP), the Employee’s employment is terminated (i) by the Company without Cause (and other than due to the Employee’s death or Disability), (ii) by the Employee for Good Reason, or (iii) upon notice by the Company under

3

paragraph 3 of this Agreement that the Company does not wish to renew the Term of this Agreement, then in lieu of the amount payable under paragraph 6(b), Employee will receive a lump sum payment equal to two (2) times the sum of (a) Employee’s then-current annual Base Salary, and (b) Employee’s Target Bonus for the year of termination; provided, however, that such payment shall be limited to an amount which would not result in an “excess parachute payment” as that term is defined in Internal Revenue Code section 280G, as determined in the sole good faith discretion of the Company. Subject to paragraph 6(f) below, payment of the amount due under this paragraph 6(c) shall be made as soon as practicable following the date on which the termination occurs; but in no event later than sixty (60) days following the date of such termination and the Employee will not have the right to designate the taxable year of the payment.

d. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means any of the following: (i) the Employee’s conviction of or plea of nolo contendere to a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude, (ii) the Employee’s material breach of a material provision of this Agreement that is not corrected within thirty (30) days following written notice of such breach sent by the Company to the Employee, (iii) the Employee’s willful misconduct in the performance of their material duties under this Agreement, (iv) the Employee’s performance of their material duties in a manner that is grossly negligent, and (v) the Employee’s failure to attempt to fully comply with any lawful directive of the CEO which is not corrected within thirty (30) days following written notice of such breach sent by the Company to the Employee. Whether or not “Cause” exists shall be determined solely by the Company in its reasonable, good faith discretion.

e.For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means, without the Employee's written consent, (i) a material and substantially adverse reduction in title or job responsibilities compared with title or job responsibilities on the Effective Date, which may include a change of title and position during the Term (provided that such change in title relates to a material and substantially adverse reduction in job responsibilities or reporting structure), (ii) any requirement that the Employee relocate to a work location that results in a driving commute of at least two hours more than the Employee’s driving commute just prior to the work relocation, provided, however, that this subparagraph (e)(ii) shall constitute a Good Reason event hereunder only if the Employee’s regular workplace is a Company-designated office (i.e., they are not working remotely or otherwise) at the time of the required relocation; or (iii) any material breach of the Agreement by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Good Reason will be deemed to exist only in the event that: (a) the Employee gives written notice to the Company of their claim of Good Reason and the specific grounds for their claim within ninety (90) days following the occurrence of the event upon which their claim rests, (b) the Company fails to cure such breach within thirty days (30) of receiving such notice (“Cure Period”), and (c) the Employee gives written notice to the Company to terminate their employment within fifteen (15) days following the Cure Period.

f.Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Employee is a “specified employee” (as such term is defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”)) and the provisions of Treasury Regulation 1.409A-3(i)(2) apply because payments due under this Agreement constitute deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A, payments under this paragraph 6 shall in no event be made prior to six months after the Participant’s separation from service (the “Suspension Period”). All payments suspended during the Suspension Period will be

4

paid in a lump sum and the normal payment schedule will resume at the end of the Suspension Period. Each of the affected payments under this paragraph (f) shall be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

g.Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Employee shall not be entitled to Severance or Change in Control payments, and the Company shall not be obligated to make such payments, under this paragraph 6 unless (i) the Employee materially complies with the restrictive covenants by which they are bound (whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise), including, but not limited to, any non-competition agreement, non-solicitation agreement, confidentiality agreement or invention assignment agreement signed by the Employee, and (ii) the Employee executes, delivers and does not revoke a commercially reasonable general release in form and substance acceptable to both the Company and Employee no later than sixty (60) days following the effective date of termination of employment. To the extent the Company makes any Severance or Change in Control payment to the Employee prior to the execution and delivery or a permissible revocation of the release described in clause (ii), the Employee fails to execute or deliver the release or otherwise revokes the release, then the Employee will be obligated to repay to the Company the full amount of any such Severance or Change in Control payment theretofore made to the Employee, within ninety (90) days following the termination of the Employee’s employment.

7.Death or Disability. Upon the death or Disability (as defined below) of the Employee prior to the end of the Term, this Agreement shall terminate and no further payments shall be made other than those required by law and (a) the payment of Base Salary (pursuant to paragraph 4(a)) up to and including the termination date, (b) any bonus earned and approved by the Committee (pursuant to paragraph 4(b)), (c) EIP Awards pursuant to the terms of those Awards, (d) reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to such termination (pursuant to paragraph 4(c)), and (e) benefits (pursuant to paragraph 5) accrued prior to the date of such death or Disability but not yet paid. For purposes of this paragraph 7, Disability shall mean any physical or mental incapacity that is documented by qualified medical experts and that results in the Employee’s inability to perform their essential material duties and responsibilities for the Company, with reasonable accommodation, for a period of ninety (90) days in any consecutive twelve (12) month period, all as determined in the good faith judgment of the Board.

8.Restrictive Covenants. The Employee hereby covenants, agrees and acknowledges as follows:

i.Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it is intended that the provisions of this Agreement satisfy the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered, as necessary, so that the payments and benefits set forth herein either shall be exempt from or shall comply with the requirements of Section 409A. To the extent that the Company determines that any provision of this Agreement would cause the Employee to incur any additional tax or interest under Section 409A, the Company shall be entitled to reform such provision to attempt to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A. To the extent that any provision hereof is modified in order to comply with Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to the Employee and the Company without violating the provisions of Section 409A.

iv.Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement between the Employee and the Company or any policy, plan, program or arrangement of the Company shall constitute any representation or warranty by the Company regarding compliance with Section 409A.

v.Each payment that the Employee may receive under this Agreement (and any right to a series of installment payments) shall be treated as a “separate payment” for purposes of Section 409A.

13.Entire Agreement; Modification; Waiver.

b.Amendment of Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto.

c.Waiver. No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived, nor shall there be any estoppel against the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement, except by written instrument of the party charged with such waiver or estoppel. No such written waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver shall operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of such term or condition for the future or as to any act other than that specifically waived.

14.Severability. If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement not held so invalid, and each such other provision shall, to the full extent consistent with law, continue in full force and effect. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid in part, such invalidity shall in no way affect the rest of such provision not held so invalid, and the rest of such provision, together with all other provisions of this Agreement, shall, to the full extent consistent with law, continue in full force and effect.

15.Headings. The headings of paragraphs herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

16.Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New Jersey, without giving effect to the choice of law principles thereof to the extent that the application of the laws of another jurisdiction would be required thereby. The Employee and the Company hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal and State courts located in court of competent jurisdiction in New Jersey and each party waives any objection to the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding and the right to assert that any such forum is not a convenient forum, and irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal and State courts located in the metropolitan court of competent jurisdiction in New Jersey area, in any such suit, action or proceeding.

17.Survival of Provisions. Neither the termination of this Agreement, nor of the Employee's employment hereunder, will terminate or affect in any manner any provision of this Agreement that is intended by its terms to survive such termination, including without limitation, the provisions of paragraph 8of this Agreement.

19.Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify the Employee in the event the Employee is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or contemplated action, suit, or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that the Employee is an officer or director of the Company against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the Employee in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding if the Employee acted in good faith and in a manner the Employee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the Employee’s conduct was unlawful.
