The Parties agree that Employee’s employment shall be governed by the terms set forth herein, including the arbitration provision, the Employee Manual, and the Company’s policies and procedures.

Term of At-Will Employment. This Agreement shall be in effect commencing on August 4, 2020. The Company and Employee hereby agree that Employee’s employment with the Company is at-will. Either party may terminate this Agreement with or without cause. Such termination shall not prejudice any remedy which either party may have against the other at law, in equity, or under this Agreement.

Designation and Duties. Commencing on August 17, 2020, Employee shall have the title of Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Subject to the control and direction of the Chief Executive Officer and/or the Board of Directors (or one of its Committees) , Employee shall serve as an officer of the Company, and shall be responsible for oversight of the Company’s financial and accounting departments and activities, and other responsibilities as from time-to-time may be assigned by the Chief Executive Officer. Employee is not guaranteed, has not been promised, and has no expectation of any promotion or any other position with the Company other than the one stated in this Agreement. Employee shall serve the Company diligently and according to Employee’s best abilities in all respects, and generally do all things for the best interest of the Company as are usually done by persons occupying similar positions in similar businesses.

Manner of Performance. Employee shall at all times faithfully, industriously, and to the best of Employee’s ability, experience, and talent, perform all duties that may be required of and from Employee, pursuant to the express and implicit terms hereof, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company. Such duties shall be rendered at the above-mentioned premises and at such other place or places as the Company shall require or as the interests, needs, business, and opportunities of the Company shall require or make advisable. Employee acknowledges that Employee has received and has read a copy of the Company’s Employee Policy Manual and Code of Ethics and agrees to abide by all terms and conditions, including all future amendments or modifications thereto. The Company reserves the right to amend and revise its policies at any time and from time to time. The Company will notify Employee of all such material changes.

Employee shall not be entitled to any further salary or other compensation after the date of termination. Except as expressly modified in Exhibit A, on termination of this Agreement, Employee shall not be deemed to have earned any incentive compensation not already declared and paid by the Company because such compensation is not for services rendered and employment on the date of payment is an express requirement to be deemed to have earned any such compensation. Unless otherwise agreed-to in writing, Employee shall be obligated to return to the Company within ten (10) days after the termination of Employee’s employment any draws or other advance payments (of incentive compensation or otherwise) made to him during the annual period in which such termination occurs.

Employee acknowledges that the Company has devoted substantial resources to develop proprietary computer systems and software, and to obtain and organize information to be utilized by its agents in connection with their business activities on behalf of the Company and its clients. Employee is eligible to utilize, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, certain computer systems, software and data developed by or on behalf of the Company. Employee agrees that unauthorized use or disclosure of such systems, software or data would cause irreparable damage to the Company, and would lessen the value of the services it provides to its agents and clients.

Employee acknowledges that he serves in a position of trust with the Company and its affiliates and that he owes a fiduciary duty of loyalty to the Company and its affiliates, and that as a result of that position, that Company has entrusted Employee with Confidential Information. Employee understands and agrees that during Employee’s employment Employee is provided with valuable “Confidential Information” regarding: (i) the business, present or future, of the Company; (ii) research, inventions, products and services of the Company and its affiliates; (iii) clients, Employees, and Salespersons of the Company and its affiliates; and (iv) operations, skills, and capabilities of the Company and its affiliates and its employees and Salespersons. Such “Confidential Information” includes, but is not limited to: (a) earnings, finances, projections, business plans, strategies, techniques, deployment, and business models, and business-related data relating to the Company and its affiliates and its clients, Employees and Salespersons; (b) manuals, research, data, reports or other information as stored on, input to or downloaded from the Company’s software, system or network; (c) business processes, strategies, and endeavors, business plans and models, customer and Salesperson lists and procuring and retention methodology, and all proprietary information regarding the operations of the Company and its affiliates and its departments; (d) client strategies, listings, past/present/future transactions and information related thereto, non-public client contact, ownership, transactional history, or financial information; and (e) salesperson or employee strategies, listings, past/present/future transactions and information related thereto, transactional history, and contact, ownership, and financial information.

For the purpose of protecting legitimate business interests of the Company, including Confidential Information and trade secrets, Employee agrees that, during the term of Employee’s employment with the Company or with any of its affiliates, and for a two (2) year period thereafter, Employee will not (a) induce, convince, recruit, cause, or solicit any employees, contractors, or sales personnel of the Company or its affiliates to terminate his/her employment with the Company; or (b) induce, recruit, converse with, convince, cause, or solicit any employees, contractors, or sales personnel of the Company or its affiliates to terminate his/her employment with the Company to join Employee in a business operation or venture competitive to the business of the Company or its affiliates. For the purpose of this Agreement, the affiliates of the Company consist of the Company and all entities which are subsidiaries or related parties of M&M and/or the Company, or its assigns, or successors of M&M and/or the Company. This prohibition shall include, but not be limited to, activity done personally, directly, or indirectly by Employee, or through agents or employees acting on behalf of Employee, or for Employee’s direct or indirect benefit. It shall not be a violation of this paragraph to hire an individual who was not induced, convinced, or otherwise solicited in violation of this paragraph.

Both during and after Employee’s association with the Company, Employee shall not disclose to anyone, or use in any manner (except as such disclosure or use is specifically authorized by the Company) any Confidential Information. Employee shall not during the term of this Agreement or at any time thereafter use to Employee’s own advantage, or the advantage of any other person, firm or entity, any information gained from the files or business of the Company or its affiliates, including, but not necessarily limited to, information training materials, the IC Policy Manual, Employee Manual, customer lists, computer operations, financial and business information, and any other confidential aspects of the Company’s operations or of its affiliates. All such information shall be treated by Employee in a confidential manner. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the disclosure of information as required by law.

If Employee leaves the Company’s employment, Employee shall promptly return to the Company all manuals, disks, programs, documents, papers and other materials in Employee’s possession or under Employee’s control that may contain or be derived from Confidential Information, regardless of the medium in which they are contained; and Employee shall retain no copies of any of the foregoing.

Employee agrees that the restrictive covenants set forth herein are separate and independent agreements, are reasonable and are necessary to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests given Employee’s high level and confidential access to such proprietary information and interests. Because of the unique nature of the Confidential Information and other proprietary information described herein, Employee understands and agrees that the Company will suffer irreparable harm if Employee fails to comply with the obligations contained herein, and that monetary damages will be inadequate to compensate the Company for said breach. Accordingly, Employee agrees that the Company will, in addition to any other remedies available to it at law or in equity, be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce the terms of this Agreement.

Employee’s Representations. Employee shall never use any Confidential Information belonging to any of the Employee’s former employers in the course of Employee’s duties for the Company.

Ownership of Records. All documents and other materials relating to the Company’s or its affiliates’ accounts, customers, real estate listings, employees, sales personnel, computer programs, investments, finances, strategies and business plans, financial statements, training programs or any other type of Confidential Information, and all copies thereof, whether prepared by Employee or otherwise coming into Employee’s possession, are the exclusive property of the Company.

This bonus will be 50% based on Company financial and non-financial performance against goals, and 50% based on personal goals that will be set with Employee’s input. It will be determined based on Employee’s performance review with the Chief Executive Officer and paid, if appropriate, in February after the Compensation Committee meeting and approval process.

Twenty-five percent (25%) will be based on the year’s overall results including the Company’s performance and Employee’s individual performance (“LTP1”). Twenty-five percent (25%) will be based on progress toward achieving the Company’s long-term goals and Employee’s contribution toward them (“LTP2”). Beginning in 2022, these RSU grants will be part of the annual review process, with amounts determined by the Company, in its discretion, in February based on the prior calendar year. The RSU grants will be subject to a 5-year vesting schedule. There is no LTP1 or LTP2 eligibility based on 2020.

Severance Program:

Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control as defined below, and as a result of such Change of Control and within one year of such event the Company terminates Employee’s employment or Employee resigns for Good Reason, then: (a) the Company will provide Employee a severance payment equal to six (6) months of base salary and one-half (1/2) the amount of Employee’s last annual cash discretionary bonus (“Severance Payment”); and (b) Employee will receive accelerated vesting of any unvested RSUs or other awarded unvested equity. If a Change of Control occurs in 2021, Employee will receive $200,000 in base salary (one half of one year) and $300,000 in bonus (one half of target bonus). For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” shall be defined as the sale or merger of the Company wherein the other transacting entity to such sale or merger takes a controlling ownership interest in the Company.

Termination Without Cause or Departure for Good Reason.

Paragraphs 1(v)(a) and 1(v)(b) are collectively referred to herein as the “Severance Program.” The Severance Program is only applicable to the circumstances expressly stated herein and Employee, when and if eligible, will receive the Severance Payment under either Paragraph 1(v)(a) or 1(v)(b), as applicable, not under both paragraphs. Amounts provided for in the Severance Payments are not compensation or otherwise earned in any respect until actually paid. There is no eligibility for or expectation of the Severance Program or any other severance benefits for any other circumstance, including, but not limited to, voluntary termination of employment by Employee, termination not triggered by a Change of Control, termination for Cause by the Company, or termination by Employee without Good Reason. Unless otherwise determined by the Company in its sole discretion, all Severance Payments made under the Severance Program shall be paid at such times and in such manner (including the withholding of required payroll withholdings and applicable deductions) as the amounts would have otherwise been paid to the Employee had Employee remained employed. Notwithstanding any term to the contrary, eligibility for and receipt of all Severance Payments and advanced RSU vesting is also expressly conditioned upon: (1) Employee’s compliance with all post-termination obligations under the Agreement, including but not limited to those in Paragraph 7, and no Severance Payment of any kind shall be due or payable in the event Employee fails to comply with such obligations; and (2) Employee’s execution of a severance agreement consistent with Employee’s obligations under this Agreement and which shall be inclusive of a general release by Employee.

Performance-Based Compensation Clawback. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company will be entitled, pursuant to any policy it adopts to comply with the clawback rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or our exchange listing standards, to recover from Employee, regardless of fault, that portion of performance-based compensation which was based on financial information required to be reported under securities laws that would not have been paid in the three completed fiscal years preceding the year(s) in which an accounting restatement is required to be filed to correct a material error. Subject to applicable law, the Compensation Committee may seek to recoup such performance-based compensation by requiring Employee to repay such amount to the Company; by set-off; by reducing future compensation; or by such other means or combination of means as the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, determines to be appropriate.

Cellular Phone Allowance. Employee shall be entitled to a monthly cellular phone allowance in the amount of one hundred dollars ($100.00), reimbursed through regular and timely Expense Report submittal.
