PART I
WEX INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of WEX Inc. and its subsidiaries, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10–Q and Rule 10–01 of Regulation S–X. Accordingly, they exclude certain disclosures required by GAAP for a complete set of financial statements. Unless the context suggests otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “WEX,” the “Company,” “we” or “our” refer to WEX Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with GAAP, which are of a normal recurring nature, have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results for any future periods or the year ending December 31, 2024. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 23, 2024 (“2023 Annual Report”).
We have applied the same accounting policies in preparing these quarterly financial statements as we did in preparing our 2023 annual financial statements. The Company rounds amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements to millions and calculates all percentages and per-share data from underlying whole-dollar amounts. Thus, certain amounts may not foot, crossfoot or recalculate based on reported numbers due to rounding. We have included certain terms and abbreviations used throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q within “Acronyms and Abbreviations” in the front of this document.
Change in Reporting Presentation
Previously, realized gains and losses from periodic settlements on our interest rate swap contracts were included within financing interest expense, while the quarterly unrealized gains and losses from the noncash mark-to-market of our swaps were separately presented on the face of the consolidated statement of operations. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company made a voluntary change in accounting presentation to reflect the unrealized gains and losses from changes in the value of our swaps within financing interest expense, net of financial instruments. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Certain prior year amounts within cash flows from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows have been aggregated to conform to the current year presentation.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024, are consistent with those discussed in “Note 1, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements in our 2023 Annual Report.

3. Revenues
In accordance with Topic 606, revenue is recognized when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied as defined by the terms of the contract, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for goods or services provided.
The following tables disaggregate the Company’s consolidated revenues, substantially all of which relate to services transferred to the customer over time:

Total revenues $ 342.3  $ 104.8  $ 164.9  $ 612.0 
Contract Balances
The majority of the Company’s receivables, which are excluded from the table below, are either due from cardholders who have not been deemed our customer as it relates to interchange income, or from revenues earned outside of the scope of Topic 606. The Company’s contract assets consist of upfront payments to customers under long-term contracts and are recorded upon the later of when the Company recognizes revenue for the transfer of the related goods or services or when the Company pays or promises to pay the consideration. The resulting asset is amortized against revenue as the Company satisfies its performance obligations under these arrangements. The Company’s contract liabilities consist of customer payments received before the Company has satisfied the associated performance obligations. The following table provides information about these contract balances:
(in millions)
Contract balance Location on the condensed consolidated balance sheets March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023
Receivables Accounts receivable, net $ 63.3  $ 59.1

Contract assets Other assets 30.6  33.1 
Contract liabilities Accrued expenses and other current liabilities 14.0  12.4

Remaining Performance Obligations
The Company’s unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations as of March 31, 2024 represent the remaining minimum monthly fees on a portion of contracts across the lines of business, deferred revenue associated with stand ready payment processing obligations and contractually obligated professional services yet to be provided by the Company. The total remaining performance obligations below are not indicative of the Company’s future revenue, as they relate to an insignificant portion of the Company’s operations.
The following table includes revenue expected to be recognized related to remaining performance obligations at the end of the indicated reporting period.

(1)The transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations represents the minimum monthly fees on certain service contracts, which contain substantive termination penalties that require the counterparty to pay the Company for the aggregate remaining minimum monthly fees upon an early termination for convenience. These obligations will be recognized within account servicing revenue.
(2)Substantially represents deferred revenue and contractual minimums associated with payment processing service obligations. Consideration associated with certain relationships is variable and the measurement and estimation of contract consideration is contingent upon payment processing volumes and maintaining volume shares, among others.
4. Acquisitions and Other Investments
Business Combinations
2023 Payzer Acquisition
On November 1, 2023, the Company closed on the acquisition of Payzer Holdings, Inc. (“Payzer”), a cloud-based, field service management software provider (the “Payzer Acquisition”). The acquisition is expected to advance WEX’s growth strategy of expanding its product suite and creating additional cross-sell opportunities by providing a new, scalable SaaS solution for its Mobility segment customers that operate field service management companies. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, total consideration for the acquisition approximated $250.0 million ($5.5 million of which is deferred), with additional contingent consideration of up to $11.0 million based on certain performance metrics, subject to certain working capital and other adjustments.
The table below summarizes the preliminary allocation of fair value to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the date of acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting. These fair values may continue to be revised during the measurement period as third-party valuations on the intangible assets are finalized, further information becomes available and additional analyses are performed, and those adjustments could have a material impact on the purchase price allocation.

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the anticipated synergies of acquiring the business. The goodwill recognized as a result of the Payzer Acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. No pro forma information has been included in these financial statements, as the operations of Payzer for the period that it was not part of the Company is not material to the Company’s revenues, net income or earnings per share.
2023 Ascensus Acquisition
On September 1, 2023, WEX Health completed the acquisition from Ascensus, LLC (the “Ascensus Acquisition”) of certain entities (the “Ascensus Acquired Entities”), which comprised the health and benefits business of Ascensus and are technology-enabled providers of employee health benefit accounts including HSAs, FSAs, and other benefit accounts. The Ascensus Acquisition expands WEX’s current footprint in the Benefits segment, while also enhancing and expanding Affordable Care Act compliance and verification capabilities. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, WEX Health consummated the acquisition for total consideration of approximately $185.5 million, after a $0.9 million working capital adjustment paid by the Company during the first quarter of 2024.

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the anticipated synergies of acquiring the business. The goodwill recognized as a result of the acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

5. Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable consists of amounts billed to and due from customers across a wide range of industries and other third parties. The Company often extends short-term credit to cardholders by paying the merchant for the purchase price less the fees it retains and records as revenue, then subsequently collecting the total purchase price from the cardholder. The Company also extends revolving credit to certain small fleets. The Company had approximately $135.5 million and $133.3 million in gross receivables with revolving credit balances as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
The allowance for accounts receivable consists of reserves for both credit and fraud losses, reflecting management’s current estimate of uncollectible balances on its accounts receivable. The following tables present changes in the accounts receivable allowances by portfolio segment:

(1)The provision is comprised of estimated credit losses based on the Company’s loss-rate experience and includes adjustments required for forecasted credit loss information. The provision for credit losses reported within this table also includes the provision for fraud losses.
(2)Consists primarily of charges to other accounts. The Company earns revenue by assessing monthly finance fees on accounts with overdue balances. These fees are recognized as revenue at the time the fees are assessed. The finance fee is calculated using the greater of a minimum charge or a stated late fee rate multiplied by the outstanding balance that is subject to a late fee charge. On occasion, these fees are waived to maintain relationship goodwill. Charges to other accounts substantially represent the offset against the late fee revenue recognized when the Company establishes a reserve for such waived amounts.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The receivables portfolio primarily consists of a large group of homogeneous balances across a wide range of industries, which are collectively evaluated for impairment. No individual customer had a receivable balance representing 10 percent or more of the outstanding receivables balance at March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023. The following table presents the outstanding balance of trade accounts receivable that are less than 30 and 60 days past due, shown in each case as a percentage of total trade accounts receivable:
Delinquency Status March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023
Less than 30 days past due 99  % 98  %
Less than 60 days past due 99  % 99  %
6. Repurchases of Common Stock
Under share buyback plans, which may be authorized by our board of directors from time to time, the Company may repurchase up to specified dollar values of shares of its common stock through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades or other methods approved by our board of directors.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased approximately 0.4 million shares pursuant to a previously approved and announced repurchase program. The total repurchases were recorded as treasury stock of $73.6 million in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company repurchased approximately 0.5 million shares pursuant to a previously approved and announced repurchase program, which was collectively recorded as treasury stock of $92.8 million in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The above costs reflect the applicable one percent excise tax imposed by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 on the net value of certain stock repurchases.
7. Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and vested DSUs outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to the computation of basic earnings per share, except that diluted earnings per share includes the impact of convertible securities under the “if-converted” method if the effect of such securities would be dilutive and includes the assumed exercise of dilutive options, the assumed issuance of unvested RSUs, performance-based awards for which the performance condition has been met as of the date of determination and contingently issuable shares that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period was the end of the contingency period, using the treasury stock method unless the effect is anti-dilutive. The treasury stock method assumes that proceeds, including cash received from the exercise of employee stock options and the average unrecognized compensation expense for unvested share-based compensation awards, would be used to purchase the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period.
The following table presents net income and reconciles basic and diluted shares outstanding used in the earnings per share computations:

(1)For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, 0.3 million and 0.4 million, respectively, of outstanding share-based compensation awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share under the treasury stock method, as the effect of including those shares would be anti-dilutive.
(2)Under the “if-converted” method, approximately 1.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock associated with the assumed conversion of the Convertible Notes were excluded from diluted shares for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as the effect of including such shares would have been anti-dilutive. During August 2023, the Company repurchased all of the Company’s outstanding Convertible Notes. For further information regarding the Convertible Notes and their repurchase and cancellation, see Note 10, Financing and Other Debt.
8. Derivative Instruments
Interest Rate Swap Contracts
From time to time, the Company has entered into interest rate swap contracts to manage the interest rate risk associated with its outstanding variable-interest rate borrowings. Such contracts are intended to economically hedge the reference rate component of future interest payments associated with outstanding borrowings under the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
The following table presents information on interest rate swap gains and losses incurred and recognized within financing interest expense, net of financial instruments on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company had no interest rate swap contracts outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

See Note 13, Financial Instruments − Fair Value and Concentrations of Credit Risk, for further discussion of this derivative and for more information regarding the valuation of the Company’s derivatives.
9. Deposits
WEX Bank’s regulatory status enables it to raise capital to fund the Company’s working capital requirements by issuing deposits, subject to FDIC rules governing minimum financial ratios. See Note 18, Supplementary Regulatory Capital Disclosure, for further information concerning these FDIC requirements.
WEX Bank accepts its deposits through certain customers as required collateral for credit that has been extended (“customer deposits”) and contractual arrangements for brokered and non-brokered certificate of deposit and money market deposit products. Additionally, WEX Bank holds deposits for the benefit of WEX Inc.’s HSA customers subject to the terms of a deposit agreement.
Customer deposits are generally non-interest bearing, certificates of deposit are issued at fixed rates, money market deposits are issued at both fixed and variable interest rates based on the Federal Funds rate and HSA deposits are issued at rates as defined within the consumer account agreements.
The following table presents the composition of deposits, which are classified as short-term or long-term based on their contractual maturities:

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
As of December 31, 2023, under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we had senior secured tranche A term loans (the “Term A Loans”), senior secured tranche B term loans (the “Term B Loans”) and revolving credit commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility.
On January 22, 2024, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”), which amended certain terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as in effect prior to January 22, 2024, including without limitation to reprice the Term B Loans existing on January 22, 2024 through the issuance of new senior secured tranche B term loans (the “Term B-1 Loans”) in the same amount. The Term B-1 Loans bear interest at variable rates at the Company’s option, plus an applicable margin, which is fixed at 1.00 percent for base rate borrowings and 2.00 percent with respect to Term SOFR borrowings, representing a reduction from the fixed applicable margins of 1.25 percent and 2.25 percent, respectively, for Term B Loans. Additionally, the Fourth Amendment removed the credit spread adjustment applicable to the tranche B term loans. No other substantive changes were made to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as part of the Fourth Amendment.
The Company may voluntarily prepay outstanding Term A Loans, Term B-1 Loans and borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility from time to time (subject to certain conditions), without premium or penalty other than customary “breakage” costs with respect to prepayments of other than base rate borrowings, provided, however, that with respect to Term B-1 Loans, if on or prior to the six month anniversary of the effective date of the Fourth Amendment closing date, the Company prepays any Term B-1 Loans in connection with a repricing transaction, the Company must pay a prepayment premium of 1.00 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the Term B-1 Loans prepaid.
Convertible Notes
The Company previously had issued Convertible Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $310.0 million to an affiliate of Warburg Pincus LLC. Interest on the Convertible Notes was calculated at a fixed rate of 6.5 percent per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year. On August 11, 2023, the Company repurchased all of the outstanding $310.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s Convertible Notes at 119 percent of par for a total purchase price of $370.4 million, inclusive of accrued and unpaid interest. At the time of repurchase, the net carrying amount of the Convertible Notes was $298.8 million, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of $70.1 million, which was recorded within nonoperating expense on the condensed consolidated statement of operations during the third quarter of 2023. Upon repurchase, the obligations of the Company to Warburg Pincus LLC were satisfied in full and the Convertible Notes were canceled by the trustee at the instruction of the Company.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized interest expense of $5.7 million.
Securitization Facilities
Under securitized debt agreements, each month on a revolving basis, the Company sells certain of its Australian and European receivables to bankruptcy-remote subsidiaries consolidated by the Company, which in turn use the receivables as collateral to issue securitized debt. Amounts collected on the securitized receivables are restricted to pay the securitized debt and are not available for general corporate purposes. The Company pays interest on the outstanding balance of the securitized debt based on variable interest rates plus an applicable margin.
The Company’s securitized debt agreement for the securitization of its European receivables is with MUFG Bank, Ltd., has a maximum revolving borrowing limit of €55.0 million and expires April 2025, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties.

The Company’s securitized debt agreement for the securitization of its Australian receivables is with Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited, has a maximum revolving borrowing limit of A$140.0 million and expires October 2024, annually renewable thereafter unless earlier terminated.
Participation Debt
From time to time, WEX Bank enters into participation agreements with third-party banks to fund customers’ balances that exceed WEX Bank’s lending limit to individual customers. Associated unsecured borrowings generally carry a variable interest rate set according to an applicable reference rate plus a margin, which ranged from 2.25 percent to 2.50 percent as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s participation agreements allow for total borrowings of up to $70.0 million and expire at various points through 2024, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties.
Borrowed Federal Funds
WEX Bank borrows from short-term uncommitted federal funds lines to supplement the financing of the Company’s accounts receivable. WEX Bank had $150.0 million and $70.0 million in outstanding borrowings under these federal funds lines of credit as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
On March 12, 2023, the Federal Reserve Board announced the BTFP, which provided liquidity to U.S. depository institutions through the offering of bank loans for up to one year in length, collateralized by the par value of qualifying assets. The BTFP ceased extending new loans on March 11, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, WEX Bank had $760.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the BTFP due in January of 2025 with an interest rate of 4.76 percent. As of December 31, 2023, WEX Bank had $775.0 million in outstanding borrowings from the BTFP with an interest rate of 4.84 percent. At March 31, 2024, debt securities with a par value of $832.7 million and fair value of $740.3 million were pledged as collateral.
Other
As of March 31, 2024, WEX Bank had pledged $211.3 million of customer receivables held by WEX Bank to the Federal Reserve Bank as collateral for potential borrowings through the Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window. Amounts that can be borrowed are based on the amount of collateral pledged and was $150.6 million as of March 31, 2024. WEX Bank had no borrowings outstanding on this line of credit through the Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
11. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
WEX Europe Services and WEX Bank Accounts Receivable Factoring
WEX Europe Services and WEX Bank are each party to separate accounts receivable factoring arrangements with unrelated third-party financial institutions to sell certain of their accounts receivable balances. Each subsidiary continues to service these receivables post-transfer with no participating interest. The Company obtained true-sale opinions from independent attorneys, stating that each respective factoring agreement provides legal isolation upon bankruptcy or receivership under local law. As such, transfers under these arrangements are treated as a sale and are accounted for as a reduction in trade accounts receivable because effective control of the receivables is transferred to the buyers. Proceeds received, which are recorded net of applicable costs or negotiated discount rates, are recorded in operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, losses on factoring were $3.1 million while losses on factoring were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Losses on factoring are recorded within cost of services in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The WEX Europe Services agreement automatically renews each January 1 unless either party gives not less than 90 days written notice of their intention to withdraw. Under this agreement, accounts receivable are sold without recourse to the extent that the customer balances are maintained at or below the credit limit established by the buyer. The Company maintains the risk of default on any customer receivable balances in excess of the buyer’s credit limit, which were immaterial as of March 31, 2024. Under this arrangement, the Company sold $130.6 million and $140.4 million of accounts receivable during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The WEX Bank agreement extends through August 2024, after which the agreement can be renewed for successive one-year periods assuming WEX Bank provides advance written notice that is accepted by the purchaser. Under this arrangement, the Company sold $4.5 billion and $1.9 billion of accounts receivable during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Benefits Securitization
In April 2023, WEX Health, through a wholly-owned special purpose entity (“SPE”), entered into a receivable securitization facility with a revolving limit of $35.0 million and an initial term through April 2026, which can be extended for an additional period of up to three years and can be voluntarily terminated by the SPE at any time, subject to 30 days’ notice. During December 2023, the Company signed an amendment to the initial receivable securitization agreement, which suspends activities under the facility until such time as the parties agree in writing to reactivate it (the “Health Facility Amendment”). During this suspension period, the revolving limit of the facility is zero.
Under the facility, and prior to the Health Facility Amendment, WEX Health sold eligible trade accounts receivables to the SPE, which is a bankruptcy-remote subsidiary, and in turn, the SPE sold undivided ownership interests in certain of these receivables to the financial institution in exchange for cash equal to the gross receivables transferred. WEX Health continued to service receivables sold to the financial institution, however, WEX did not retain effective control of transferred receivables, derecognized the assets and accounted for these transfers as sales.
Non-Bank Custodial HSA Cash Assets
As a non-bank custodian, WEX Inc. contracts with depository partners to hold custodial cash assets on behalf of individual account holders. As of March 31, 2024, WEX Inc. was custodian to approximately $4.2 billion in HSA cash assets. Of these custodial balances, approximately $0.9 billion of HSA cash assets at March 31, 2024 were deposited with and managed by certain third-party partners and not recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Such third-party depository partners are regularly monitored by management for stability. The remaining balance of $3.3 billion in HSA cash assets as of March 31, 2024 is deposited with and managed by WEX Bank and is therefore reflected on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 9, Deposits, for further information about HSA deposits recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
12. Investment Securities
The Company’s amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are presented below. Accrued interest on investment securities of $28.7 million and $24.7 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, is excluded from total investment securities and recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The above table includes 521 investment positions at March 31, 2024, where the current fair value is less than the related amortized cost. Unrealized losses on the Company’s debt securities included in the above table are primarily driven by the elevated interest rate environment and are not considered to be credit-related based upon an analysis that considered the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized basis of a security, adverse conditions specifically related to the security, changes to credit rating of the instrument subsequent to Company purchase, and the strength of the underlying collateral, if any. Additionally, the Company does not intend to sell the securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases.

Money Market Mutual Funds
A portion of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are invested in money market mutual funds that primarily consist of short-term government securities, which are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices for identical instruments in an active market.
U.S. Treasury Bills
From time to time, a portion of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are invested in U.S. treasury bills with maturities of 30 days or less, which are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices for similar or identical instruments in a market that is not active.
Debt Securities
The Company determines the fair value of U.S. treasury notes using quoted market prices for similar or identical instruments in a market that is not active. For corporate debt securities, municipal bonds, and asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, the Company generally uses quoted prices for recent trading activity of assets with similar characteristics to the debt security or bond being valued. The securities and bonds priced using such methods are generally valued using Level 2 inputs to the fair value hierarchy.
Pooled Investment Fund
The pooled investment fund maintains individual capital accounts for each investor, which reflect each individual investor’s share of the NAV of the fund. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had no unfunded commitments with respect to the fund. Investments in the fund may be redeemed monthly with 30 days’ notice.
Mutual Fund
The Company determines the fair value of its mutual fund using quoted market prices for identical instruments in an active market; such inputs are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Executive Deferred Compensation Plan Trust
The investments held in the executive deferred compensation plan trust, which consist primarily of mutual funds, are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy because the fair value is determined using quoted market prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Contingent Consideration
As part of an asset acquisition from Bell Bank during 2021, the Company is obligated to pay additional consideration to Bell Bank contingent upon increases in the Federal Funds rate. The Company determines the fair value of this contingent consideration derivative liability based on discounted cash flows using the difference between the baseline Federal Funds rate in the purchase agreement with Bell Bank and future forecasted Federal Funds rates over the agreement term. The forecasted Federal Funds rates represent a Level 3 input within the fair value hierarchy. The resulting probability-weighted contingent consideration amounts were discounted using a rate of 4.16 percent as of March 31, 2024 and 3.84 percent as of December 31, 2023. Due to significant increases in the Federal Funds rate, the fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration derivative liability at March 31, 2024 is effectively measured at the present value of the maximum remaining contingent consideration payable under the arrangement and accordingly, the fair value could not materially increase. A significant decrease in the Federal Funds rate could result in a material decrease in the derivative liability.
The Company records changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Changes in the contingent consideration derivative liability are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy) and are as follows for the periods indicated:

The remainder of the prior year payment, as well as the entirety of the current year payment, has been included in net cash provided by (used for) operating activities (specifically within net change in operating assets and liabilities, net of effects of business acquisitions).
Financial Instruments Measured at Carrying Value, for which Fair Value is Disclosed
The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, which are measured and reported at carrying value, is as follows for the periods indicated:

(1)The Company determines the fair value of borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans based on market rates for the issuance of the Company’s debt, which are Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
(2)The Company determines the fair value of its contractual deposits with maturities in excess of one year using current market interest rates for deposits of similar remaining maturities, which are Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
Other Assets and Liabilities
The carrying value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, other than those presented above, including cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash payable, short-term contractual deposits and HSA deposits, accounts receivable and securitized accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other liabilities, approximate their respective fair values due to their short-term nature or maturities. The carrying value of certain other financial instruments, including interest-bearing money market deposits, securitized debt, participation debt, borrowed federal funds and deferred consideration associated with our acquisitions approximate their respective fair values due to stated interest rates being consistent with current market interest rates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, investment securities and trade receivables. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited because a large number of geographically and industry diverse customers make up our customer base. See Note 5, Accounts Receivable, Net, for further information.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are transacted and maintained with financial institutions with high credit standing. Cash balances at many of these institutions regularly exceed FDIC insured limits; however, management regularly monitors the financial institutions and the composition of the Company’s accounts. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes that the financial institutions at which the Company’s cash is held are stable.

We attempt to limit our exposure to credit risk with our investment securities by establishing strict investment policies as to minimum investment ratings, diversification of our portfolio and setting risk tolerance levels.
14. Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate was 26.9 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 30.8 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Income tax expense is based on an estimated annual effective rate, which requires the Company to make its best estimate of annual pretax income or loss. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was adversely impacted by a discrete tax item of $3.7 million primarily associated with an uncertain tax position related to state income taxes, the vast majority of which was offset by excess tax benefits arising from stock-based compensation. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was adversely impacted by a tax shortfall arising from stock-based compensation.
Undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company amounted to $255.8 million and $231.6 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company continues to maintain its indefinite reinvestment assertion for its investments in foreign subsidiaries except for any historical undistributed earnings and future earnings for WEX Australia. The total amount of our foreign subsidiaries’ earnings in which the Company continues to assert indefinite reinvestment approximates $225.7 million at March 31, 2024. Upon distribution of these earnings, the Company would be subject to withholding taxes payable to foreign countries, where applicable, but would generally have no further federal income tax liability. It is not practicable to estimate the unrecognized deferred tax liability associated with these undistributed earnings; however, it is not expected to be material.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) Pillar Two global minimum tax rules, which generally provide for a minimum effective tax rate of 15 percent, are intended to apply for tax years beginning in 2024. On July 17, 2023, the OECD published Administrative Guidance proposing certain safe harbor rules that effectively extend certain effective dates to January 1, 2027. The Company is closely monitoring developments and evaluating the impact of these new rules, including eligibility to qualify for these safe harbor rules. We do not expect the impact of these new rules to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
15. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation and Regulatory Matters
From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims and regulatory matters in the ordinary course of business, including but not limited to: commercial disputes; contract disputes; employment litigation; disputes regarding our intellectual property rights; alleged infringement or misappropriation by us of intellectual property rights of others, and, matters relating to our compliance with applicable laws and regulations. As of the date of this filing, the current estimate of a reasonably possible loss contingency from all legal or regulatory proceedings is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity.
Commitments
Significant commitments and contingencies as of March 31, 2024 are consistent with those discussed in Note 20, Commitments and Contingencies, to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

16. Stock–Based Compensation
The Company regularly grants equity awards in the form of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards under its stockholder-approved Amended and Restated 2019 Equity and Incentive Plan to certain employees and directors.
The Company began granting market share units (“MSUs”) to employees in lieu of stock options during 2024. MSUs are market-based equity awards that represent a right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock at specified future dates if certain WEX stock price performance and vesting conditions are met. The number of MSUs that will be eligible to vest will be based on the performance of our stock price over the vesting period. The fair value of the MSUs was estimated using a Monte-Carlo valuation model and will be recognized as expense over each award’s requisite service period.
Stock-based compensation expense was $28.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and $25.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
17. Segment Information
The Company determines its operating segments and reports segment information in accordance with how our Chief Executive Officer, the Company’s CODM, allocates resources and assesses performance. The Company has both three operating segments and three reportable segments, as described below.
•Mobility provides payment processing, transaction processing, and information management services specifically designed for the needs of fleets of all sizes from small businesses to federal and state government fleets and over-the-road carriers.
•Corporate Payments focuses on the complex payment environment of global B2B payments, enabling customers to utilize our payments solutions to integrate into their own workflows and manage their accounts payable automation and spend management functions.
•Benefits provides a SaaS platform for consumer directed healthcare benefits and a full-service benefit enrollment solution, bringing together benefits administration, certain compliance services and consumer-directed and benefits accounts. Additionally, WEX Inc. serves as the non-bank custodian to certain HSA assets.

18. Supplementary Regulatory Capital Disclosure
The Company’s subsidiary, WEX Bank, is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the FDIC and the UDFI. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, WEX Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of WEX Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items. WEX Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could limit business activities and have a material effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require WEX Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios as defined in the regulations. The most recent FDIC exam report categorized WEX Bank as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events subsequent to that examination report that management believes have changed WEX Bank’s capital rating.

(1)Lower domestic fuel prices decreased revenue by $20.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
(2)Our net payment processing rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 has benefited from lower average domestic fuel prices and the impact of interest rate escalator clauses contained in various merchant contracts, partly offset by negative European fuel price spreads.
Total Mobility revenue decreased $3.3 million for the first quarter of 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to a decrease in finance fee revenue, partly offset by an increase in account servicing revenue resulting from the Payzer acquisition. While lower domestic fuel prices decreased payment processing revenue, such decreases were offset by increased revenue as a result of interest rate escalator clauses contained in various merchant contracts.
Finance fee revenue, which is comprised of the following components, is discussed below.
Three Months Ended March 31, Increase (Decrease)
(in millions) 2024 2023 Amount Percent
Finance income $ 60.4  $ 70.1  $ (9.7) (14) %
Factoring fee revenue 9.6  10.3  (0.7) (7) %
Finance fee revenue $ 70.0  $ 80.4  $ (10.4) (13) %
Finance income primarily consists of late fees charged for receivables not paid within the terms of the customer agreement based upon the outstanding customer receivable balance, and to a lesser degree by finance charges earned on revolving portfolio balances. Late fee revenue is earned when a customer’s receivable balance becomes delinquent and is calculated using the greater of a minimum charge or a stated late fee rate multiplied by the outstanding balance that is subject to a late fee charge. Changes in the absolute amount of such outstanding balances can generally be attributed to: (i) changes in fuel prices; (ii) customer specific transaction volume; and (iii) customer specific delinquencies. Late fee revenue can also be impacted by: (i) changes in late fee rates; and (ii) increases or decreases in customer overdue balances.
Finance income decreased $9.7 million for the first quarter of 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the decline in average fuel prices driving down customer spend upon which late fees are earned, along with a decline in the number of late fee instances, which is reflective of tighter credit policies we have put in place. Concessions to certain customers experiencing financial difficulties may be granted and are limited to extending the time to pay, placing a customer on a payment plan or granting waivers of late fees.
36

There were no material concessions granted to customers experiencing financial difficulties during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
The primary source of factoring fee revenue is calculated as a negotiated percentage fee of the receivable balance that we purchase. Factoring fee revenue for the first quarter of 2024 remained consistent with that of the same period in the prior year.
Operating Expenses
The following table compares line items within operating income and presents segment adjusted operating income and segment adjusted operating income margin for Mobility:
  Three Months Ended March 31, Increase (Decrease)
(in millions) 2024 2023 Amount Percent
Cost of services
Processing costs $ 78.4  $ 66.3  $ 12.1  18  %
Service fees $ 1.7  $ 1.6  $ 0.1  %
Provision for credit losses $ 20.8  $ 44.8  $ (24.0) (54) %
Operating interest $ 19.2  $ 10.3  $ 8.9  86  %
Depreciation and amortization $ 12.7  $ 9.9  $ 2.8  28  %
Other operating expenses
General and administrative $ 31.4  $ 28.1  $ 3.3  12  %

$ 131.0  $ 138.8  $ (7.8) (6) %
Segment adjusted operating income margin(2)
38.6  % 40.5  % (1.9) % (5) %
(1)Segment adjusted operating income excludes unallocated corporate expenses, acquisition-related intangible amortization, other acquisition and divestiture related items, debt restructuring costs, stock-based compensation, other costs and certain non-recurring or non-cash operating charges that are not core to our operations, as applicable depending on the period presented. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures That Supplement GAAP Measures” later in this Item 2 for a reconciliation of operating income to total segment adjusted operating income. See also Part I – Item 1 – Note 17, Segment Information, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding our segment determination.
(2)Segment adjusted operating income margin is calculated by dividing segment adjusted operating income by segment revenue. The three months ended March 31, 2024 saw a decrease in segment adjusted operating income margin from the prior year comparable period, primarily reflecting the decline in average fuel prices offset in part by a significant decrease in credit and fraud losses.
Cost of services
Processing costs increased $12.1 million for the first quarter of 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to increased headcount across our technology departments.
Provision for credit losses, which includes estimates for both credit and fraud losses, decreased by $24.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Stabilization in the over-the-road trucking market, tighter credit policies put in place to reduce losses, and lower than expected charge-offs in our U.S. fleet customers from macroeconomic factors have all contributed to the reduction in the provision year over year. We generally measure our loss performance by calculating fuel-related losses as a percentage of total fuel expenditures on payment processing transactions. This metric for provision for credit losses was 15.3 basis points of fuel expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, provision for credit losses was 31.6 basis points of fuel expenditures.
37

Operating interest increased $8.9 million for the first quarter of 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily reflective of higher interest rates on operating debt balances in support of working capital needs.
Depreciation and amortization increased $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the prior year comparable period due in part to increased capital expenditures to support growth, and the amortization of intangible assets obtained as part of the Payzer acquisition.
Other operating expenses
General and administrative expenses increased $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year due primarily to increased employee costs as a result of the Payzer acquisition.
Sales and marketing expenses increased $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to increased employee costs as a result of the Payzer acquisition.

(2)Changes in customer mix has reduced our net interchange rate during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period of the prior year.
Total Corporate Payments revenue increased $17.7 million for the first quarter of 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily driven by volume growth in both travel and corporate payments, offset in part by a net rate reduction due to a shift in customer mix. Other revenue has increased due to higher interest revenue earned on restricted cash balances as a result of a rise in interest rates and average balances coinciding with increased travel volumes.
Concessions to certain customers experiencing financial difficulties may be granted and are limited to extending the time to pay, placing a customer on a payment plan or granting waivers of late fees. There were no material concessions granted to customers during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

(1)Segment adjusted operating income excludes unallocated corporate expenses, acquisition-related intangible amortization, other acquisition and divestiture related items, debt restructuring costs, stock-based compensation, other costs and certain non-recurring or non-cash operating charges that are not core to our operations, as applicable depending on the period presented. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures That Supplement GAAP Measures” later in this Item 2 for a reconciliation of operating income to total segment adjusted operating income. See also Part I – Item 1 – Note 17, Segment Information, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding our segment determination.
(2)Segment adjusted operating income margin is calculated by dividing segment adjusted operating income by segment revenue. See below for an explanation of changes to our year over year segment adjusted operating margin.
As a result of owning all of our technology and issuing capabilities, our Corporate Payments segment has a highly scalable and relatively fixed cost base resulting in largely comparable expenses year to year. As a result, the increase in first quarter 2024 revenues has also contributed to the increased operating income, segment adjusted operating income and segment adjusted operating income margin for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Total Benefits revenue increased $26.3 million for the first quarter of 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year. A rise in average balances and interest rates earned on the investment of HSA deposit balances held by WEX Bank, as reflected within other revenue, coupled with increased revenues due to the Ascensus acquisition, substantially contributed to the increase in total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the prior year comparable period.

(1)Segment adjusted operating income excludes unallocated corporate expenses, acquisition-related intangible amortization, other acquisition and divestiture related items, debt restructuring costs, stock-based compensation, other costs and certain non-recurring or non-cash operating charges that are not core to our operations, as applicable depending on the period presented. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures That Supplement GAAP Measures” later in this Item 2 for a reconciliation of operating income to total segment adjusted operating income. See also Part I – Item 1 – Note 17, Segment Information, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding our segment determination.
(2)Segment adjusted operating income margin is calculated by dividing segment adjusted operating income by segment revenue. Revenue earned on HSA assets is highly accretive to earnings and is the primary driver of the increase in segment adjusted operating income margin for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the prior year comparable period.
Cost of services
Processing costs increased by $10.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to increased employee costs as a result of the Ascensus Acquisition.
Service fees increased by $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 in conjunction with the associated growth in revenues, as compared with the same period in the prior year.
Other operating expenses
Depreciation and amortization increased $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets obtained as part of the Ascensus Acquisition.
Unallocated corporate expenses
Unallocated corporate expenses represent the portion of expenses relating to general corporate functions, including acquisition and divestiture expenses, certain finance, legal, information technology, human resources, administrative and executive expenses, and other expenses not directly attributable to a reportable segment.
The following table compares line items within operating income for unallocated corporate expenses:
  Three Months Ended March 31, Increase (Decrease)

Other operating expenses
General and administrative $ 32.3  $ 33.5  $ (1.2) (4) %
Depreciation and amortization $ 0.4  $ 0.8  $ (0.4) (50) %
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, unallocated corporate expenses were generally consistent with the same period of the prior year.
Non-operating income and expense
The following table reflects comparative results for certain amounts excluded from operating income:
  Three Months Ended March 31, Absolute Dollar Change Effect of Change on Net Income
(in millions) 2024 2023
Financing interest expense, net of financial instruments $ (60.3) $ (52.9) $ 7.4  Reduction
Change in fair value of contingent consideration $ (1.7) $ (1.8) $ 0.1  Increase
Net foreign currency loss $ (12.5) $ (1.4) $ 11.1  Reduction
Income tax provision $ 24.2  $ 30.2  $ 6.0  Increase
Financing interest expense, net of financial instruments increased primarily as a result of increased borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, coupled with higher net variable interest rates thereon, offset in part by a reduction in interest due to the repurchase and cancellation of our Convertible Notes during the third quarter of 2023.
Our foreign currency exchange exposure is primarily related to the remeasurement of our cash, receivable and payable balances, including intercompany transactions that are denominated in foreign currencies. The losses incurred during the first quarter of 2024 resulted from the weakening of certain foreign currencies in which we transact, including the Euro, and the Australian and Canadian dollars, relative to the U.S. dollar.
41

The decrease in income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the prior year comparable period is due to a decrease in the Company’s effective tax rate, coupled with a decrease in income before income taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 26.9 percent compared to 30.8 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2023. See Part I – Item 1 – Note 14, Income Taxes, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding the drivers behind our effective tax rates.
Non–GAAP Financial Measures That Supplement GAAP Measures
Total Segment Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Net Income
In addition to evaluating the Company’s performance on a GAAP basis, Company management uses particular non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude the impact of certain costs, expenses, gains and losses, to evaluate our overall operating performance, including comparison across periods and with competitors. Our management team believes these non-GAAP measures are integral to our reporting and planning processes and uses them to assess operating performance because they generally exclude financial results that are outside the normal course of our business operations or management’s control. These measures are also used to allocate resources among our operating segments and for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes for both short- and long-term operating plans.
Total segment adjusted operating income excludes unallocated corporate expenses, acquisition-related intangible amortization, other acquisition and divestiture related items, debt restructuring costs, stock-based compensation, other costs and certain non-recurring or non-cash operating charges that are not core to our operations, as applicable depending on the period presented.
Adjusted net income, which similarly excludes the impact of all items excluded in segment adjusted operating income except unallocated corporate expenses, further excludes unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments, net foreign currency gains and losses, debt issuance cost amortization, tax related items, and certain other non-operating items, as applicable depending on the period presented.
For the periods presented herein, the following items have been excluded in determining one or more non-GAAP measures for the following reasons:
•Exclusion of the non-cash, mark-to-market adjustments on financial instruments, including interest rate swap agreements and investment securities, helps management identify and assess trends in the Company’s underlying business that might otherwise be obscured due to quarterly non-cash earnings fluctuations associated with these financial instruments. Additionally, the non-cash, mark-to-market adjustments on financial instruments are difficult to forecast accurately, making comparisons across historical and future periods difficult to evaluate;
•Net foreign currency gains and losses primarily result from the remeasurement to functional currency of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable balances, certain intercompany notes denominated in foreign currencies and any gain or loss on foreign currency economic hedges relating to these items. The exclusion of these items helps management compare changes in operating results between periods that might otherwise be obscured due to currency fluctuations;
•The change in fair value of contingent consideration, which is related to the acquisition of certain contractual rights to serve as custodian or sub-custodian to HSAs, is dependent upon changes in future interest rate assumptions and has no significant impact on the ongoing operations of the Company. Additionally, the non-cash, mark-to-market adjustments on financial instruments are difficult to forecast accurately, making comparisons across historical and future periods difficult to evaluate;
•The Company considers certain acquisition-related costs, including certain financing costs, investment banking fees, warranty and indemnity insurance, certain integration-related expenses and amortization of acquired intangibles, as well as gains and losses from divestitures to be unpredictable, dependent on factors that may be outside of our control and unrelated to the continuing operations of the acquired or divested business or the Company. In addition, the size and complexity of an acquisition, which often drives the magnitude of acquisition-related costs, may not be indicative of such future costs. The Company believes that excluding acquisition-related costs and gains or losses on divestitures facilitates the comparison of our financial results to the Company’s historical operating results and to other companies in our industry;
•Stock-based compensation is different from other forms of compensation as it is a non-cash expense. For example, a cash salary generally has a fixed and unvarying cash cost. In contrast, the expense associated with an equity-based award is generally unrelated to the amount of cash ultimately received by the employee, and the cost to the Company is based on a stock-based compensation valuation methodology and underlying assumptions that may vary over time;
42

•Other costs are not consistently occurring and do not reflect expected future operating expense, nor do they provide insight into the fundamentals of current or past operations of our business. This also includes non-recurring professional service costs, costs related to certain identified initiatives, including restructuring and technology initiatives, to further streamline the business, improve the Company’s efficiency, create synergies and globalize the Company’s operations, all with an objective to improve scale and efficiency and increase profitability going forward.
•Impairment charges represent non-cash asset write-offs, which do not reflect recurring costs that would be relevant to the Company’s continuing operations. The Company believes that excluding these nonrecurring expenses facilitates the comparison of our financial results to the Company’s historical operating results and to other companies in its industry;
•Debt restructuring and debt issuance cost amortization are unrelated to the continuing operations of the Company. Debt restructuring costs are not consistently occurring and do not reflect expected future operating expense, nor do they provide insight into the fundamentals of current or past operations of our business. In addition, since debt issuance cost amortization is dependent upon the financing method, which can vary widely company to company, we believe that excluding these costs helps to facilitate comparison to historical results as well as to other companies within our industry;
•The tax related items are the difference between the Company’s GAAP tax provision and a non-GAAP tax provision. Beginning in fiscal year 2024, the Company utilizes a fixed annual projected long-term non-GAAP tax rate in order to provide better consistency across reporting periods. To determine this long-term projected tax rate, the Company performs a pro forma tax provision based upon the Company’s projected adjusted net income before taxes. The fixed annual projected long-term non-GAAP tax rate could be subject to change in future periods for a variety of reasons, including the rapidly evolving global tax environment, significant changes in our geographic earnings mix including due to acquisition activity, or other changes to our strategy or business operations; and
•The Company does not allocate certain corporate expenses to our operating segments, as these items are centrally controlled and are not directly attributable to any reportable segment.
Total segment adjusted operating income and adjusted net income may be useful to investors as a means of evaluating our performance. However, because total segment adjusted operating income and adjusted net income are non-GAAP measures, they should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, operating income or net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. Total segment adjusted operating income and adjusted net income as used by WEX may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
The following table reconciles net income to adjusted net income and related per share data:

(1)The dilutive impact of the Convertible Notes has been calculated under the ‘if-converted’ method for the periods through which they were outstanding. Under the ‘if-converted’ method, interest expense, net of tax, associated with our Convertible Notes of $3.8 million was added back to adjusted net income for the three months ended March 31, 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, 1.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock associated with the assumed conversion of the Convertible Notes (prior to repurchase and cancellation) was included in the calculation of adjusted net income per dilutive share as the effect of including such adjustments was dilutive. The total number of shares used in calculating adjusted net income per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 is 42.4 million and 45.2 million, respectively. For further information about the Convertible Notes and their repurchase and cancellation, see Note 10, Financing and Other Debt.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow
The Company’s non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow is calculated as operating cash flow, adjusted for net purchases of current investment securities, capital expenditures, the change in net deposits, changes in borrowings under the BTFP and borrowed federal funds and certain other adjustments which, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, reflects an adjustment for contingent and deferred consideration paid to sellers in excess of acquisition-date fair value. Although non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, WEX believes that adjusted free cash flow is a useful measure for investors to further evaluate our results of operations because (i) adjusted free cash flow indicates the level of cash generated by the operations of the business, which excludes consideration paid on acquisitions, after appropriate reinvestment for recurring investments in property, equipment and capitalized software that are required to operate the business; (ii) changes in net deposits occur on a daily basis as a regular part of operations; (iii) borrowings under the BTFP and borrowed federal funds are primarily used as a replacement for brokered deposits as part of our accounts receivable funding strategy; and (iv) purchases of current investment securities are made as a result of deposits gathered operationally. However, because adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure, it should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, operating cash flow as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, adjusted free cash flow as used by WEX may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
The following table reconciles GAAP operating cash flow to adjusted free cash flow:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We fund our business operations primarily via cash on hand, cash generated from operations, the issuance of deposits, and borrowings under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $779.6 million, including Corporate Cash of $176.0 million, and remaining borrowing availability of $463.4 million under the Revolving Credit Facility along with access to various sources of funds, including uncommitted federal funds lines of credit from other banks.
Our short-term cash requirements consist primarily of funding the working capital needs of our business, payments on maturities of deposits, current principal and interest payments on the credit facilities under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and payments on other short-term debt. Our long-term cash requirements consist primarily of amounts owed under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and various facilities lease agreements.
We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, cash generating capabilities, financial condition and operations, and access to available funding sources will be adequate to fund our cash needs for the next 12 months and the foreseeable future. The table below includes a more comprehensive list of frequent sources and uses of cash:
Sources of cash Uses of cash
•Cash generated from operations
•Borrowings and availability on our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement1
•Deposits2
•Accounts receivable securitization and factoring arrangements3
•Participation debt and borrowed federal funds4

•Payments on our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
•Payments on maturities of deposits
•Payments on borrowed federal funds and other short-term borrowings
•Working capital needs of the business
•Capital expenditures
•Purchases of shares of treasury stock
•Merger and acquisition activity
(1)Under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as of March 31, 2024 the Company had outstanding term loan principal borrowings of $2,230.4 million, borrowings of $929.8 million on the Revolving Credit Facility and letters of credit of $36.8 million drawn against the Revolving Credit Facility. See Part I – Item 1 – Note 10, Financing and Other Debt, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
(2)WEX Bank’s regulatory status enables it to raise capital to fund the Company’s working capital requirements by issuing deposits, subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the FDIC and the UDFI. Additionally, WEX Bank holds deposits for the benefit of WEX Inc.’s HSA customers subject to the terms of a deposit agreement. As of March 31, 2024, we had $4,205.6 million in total deposits. See Part I – Item 1 – Note 9, Deposits, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding our deposits.
(3)The Company utilizes securitized debt agreements to finance a portion of our receivables, lower our cost of borrowing and more efficiently utilize capital. The Company had $102.3 million of securitized debt under these facilities as of March 31, 2024. We also utilize off-balance sheet factoring and securitization arrangements to sell certain of our accounts receivable to unrelated third-party financial institutions in order to accelerate the collection of the Company’s cash and reduce internal costs. Available capacity is dependent on the level of our trade accounts receivable eligible to be sold and the financial institutions’ willingness to purchase such receivables. However, the Company is not dependent on them to maintain its liquidity and capital resources. See Part I – Item 1 – Notes 10, Financing and Other Debt and 11, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information about the Company’s securitized debt and off-balance sheet arrangements.
(4)From time to time, WEX Bank enters into participation agreements with third-party banks to fund customers’ balances that exceed WEX Bank’s lending limit to individual customers. There was $45.5 million borrowed against these participation agreements as of March 31, 2024. WEX Bank also borrows from uncommitted federal funds lines from time to time to supplement the financing of the Company’s accounts receivable. There were $150.0 million in outstanding borrowings under these lines of credit as of March 31, 2024. See Part I – Item 1 – Note 10, Financing and Other Debt, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding these facilities.
Additional Sources of Cash Available
On March 12, 2023, the Federal Reserve Board announced the BTFP, which provided liquidity to U.S. depository institutions. This program allowed bank loans for up to one year in length, collateralized by the par value of qualifying assets, including U.S. treasuries and mortgage-backed securities. Advances were available for a one-year period until March 11, 2024, at which time the BTFP ceased making new loans. WEX Bank accessed $760.0 million of temporary, low-cost capital under the BTFP as of March 31, 2024, pledging held investment securities with a par value of $832.7 million and market value of $740.3 million as collateral.
45

WEX Bank has the ability to borrow funds from the Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window. Borrowing limits fluctuate based on pledged assets, and as of March 31, 2024, the Company could borrow up to a maximum amount of $150.6 million. WEX Bank had no borrowings outstanding on this line of credit as of March 31, 2024. See Part I – Item 1 – Note 10, Financing and Other Debt, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding this borrowing arrangement.
Cash Flows
The table below summarizes our cash activities and adjusted free cash flow:
Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions) 2024 2023
Net cash provided by (used for)

   Operating activities $ (153.3) $ 27.1 
   Investing activities $ (317.8) $ (1,062.0)
   Financing activities $ 354.1  $ 1,043.8 
Non-GAAP financial measure:
   Adjusted free cash flow1
$ (204.5) $ (61.4)
(1)The Company’s non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow is calculated as operating cash flow, adjusted for net purchases of current investment securities, capital expenditures, the change in net deposits, changes in borrowings under the BTFP and borrowed federal funds and certain other adjustments which, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, reflects an adjustment for contingent consideration paid to sellers in excess of acquisition-date fair value. For a reconciliation to net cash provided by operating activities, the most closely comparable GAAP measure, and the reasons why we believe this is an important financial measure, please refer to the section titled Non-GAAP Financial Measures That Supplement GAAP Measures.
Operating Activities
We fund a customer’s entire receivable in the majority of our Mobility and Corporate Payment processing transactions, while the revenue generated by these transactions is only a small percentage of that amount. Consequently, cash flows from operations are impacted significantly by increases or decreases in fuel prices and purchase volumes, driving changes in accounts receivable and accounts payable balances, which directly impact our capital resource requirements.
Cash used for operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $180.4 million as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in cash used for operating activities year over year was primarily the result of greater cash outflows due to changes in operating assets and liabilities in the current year, which includes the payment of $64.5 million on our contingent consideration owed to Bell Bank as part of an asset acquisition during 2021.
Investing Activities
Investing cash flows generally consist of capital expenditures, cash used for acquisitions and the investment of custodial cash assets.
Cash used for investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased $744.2 million as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily resulting from the investment of $391.7 million of HSA deposits in available-for-sale debt securities as compared to $1.1 billion in the prior year.
Financing Activities
Financing cash flows generally consist of the issuance and repayment of debt and deposits, changes in restricted cash payable and purchases of our common stock. Repurchases of our common stock may vary based on management’s evaluation of market and economic conditions and other factors.
Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased $689.7 million, due primarily to a decrease in deposits, offset in part by higher net borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, as compared to the period year comparable period.    
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased approximately 0.4 million shares of our common stock subject to an authorized and outstanding share buyback plan. Cash payments for share repurchases during the three months ended March 31, 2024 totaled $73.6 million. As of March 31, 2024, there was $539.8 million worth of common stock shares available to be purchased pursuant to the repurchase plan authorization.
46

Adjusted Free Cash Flow
The definition of adjusted free cash flow, and the reasons why we believe it to be an important financial measure, can be found in the section titled Non-GAAP Financial Measures That Supplement GAAP Measures.
Adjusted free cash flow decreased $143.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Certain short-term borrowings to finance receivables at March 31, 2024 were not transacted until the second quarter, resulting in the decrease to adjusted free cash flow for the first quarter of 2024 relative to the same period of the prior year.
Financial Covenants
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants that, subject to certain customary exceptions, limit the Company and its subsidiaries’ (including, in certain limited circumstances, WEX Bank and the Company’s other regulated subsidiaries) ability to, among other things (i) incur additional debt, (ii) pay dividends or make other distributions on, redeem or repurchase capital stock, or make investments or other restricted payments, (iii) enter into transactions with affiliates, (iv) dispose of assets or issue stock of restricted subsidiaries or regulated subsidiaries, (v) create liens on assets, or (vi) effect a consolidation or merger or sell all, or substantially all, of the Company’s assets. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains customary financial maintenance covenants, including a consolidated interest coverage ratio and a consolidated leverage ratio. As of March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with applicable covenants. See Part II – Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources and Part II – Item 8 – Note 16, Financing and Other Debt, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for more information regarding these covenants.
Other Commitments, Contingencies and Contractual Obligations
There were no material changes to our contractual obligations from the information previously provided in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Regulatory Matters
WEX Bank is subject to a consent order issued by the FDIC on September 20, 2023 (the “2023 Order”), which requires WEX Bank to make certain improvements, which include corrections of certain issues identified in the 2023 Order and general enhancements to WEX Bank’s compliance management program. Customer impact and any resulting harm from the violations detailed in the 2023 Order have been identified and steps have been taken to remediate any such impact and harm. The terms of the 2023 Order will remain in effect and be enforceable until they are modified, terminated, suspended or set aside by the FDIC. The matters identified in the 2023 Order have not had, nor are they expected to have, a material effect on WEX Bank’s operations or the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Exhibit 10.2 WEX INC. AMENDED AND RESTATED 2019 EQUITY AND INCENTIVE PLAN RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT 2024 GRANT THIS AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into by and between WEX Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the individual (the “Grantee”) listed on the attached Memorandum (which is incorporated herein by reference, the “Memorandum”), effective as of the Date of Grant set forth on such Memorandum (the “Date of Grant”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of the WEX Inc. Amended and Restated 2019 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan. WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Plan (the prospectus of which was provided to the Grantee), which is incorporated herein by reference and made part of this Agreement; WHEREAS, the Board has the authority under the Plan to grant Awards to eligible service providers of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company Group”); and WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to grant the Award provided for herein to the Grantee pursuant to the Plan and this Agreement. NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual convents hereinafter set forth, the Company and the Grantee agree as follows: 1) Award. Subject to (i) the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Grantee’s agreement to comply with the obligations set forth in Section 5 and Section 6 below) and (ii) the Grantee’s acknowledgement of this Agreement and the Memorandum, the Company hereby grants the Grantee the number of Restricted Stock Units set forth in the Memorandum (the “RSUs”). 2) Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3(a), Section 3(b)(i) and Section 3(c), the RSUs shall vest in equal installments on each of the first three (3) anniversaries of the Date of Grant, subject to the Grantee’s continued Service (as defined below) on the applicable vesting date, such that one-hundred percent (100%) of the RSUs shall be vested on the third anniversary of the Date of Grant. Any portion of the RSUs that has vested as set forth in this Section 2 shall be settled within thirty (30) days following the applicable vesting date. For purposes of this Agreement, “Service” means providing services as an active employee, to, or for the benefit of, any member of the Company Group. 3) Termination; Change in Control. a) Death. Upon the Grantee’s death, any unvested RSUs shall immediately vest and shall be settled within thirty (30) days following the Grantee’s death.


 
b) Retirement. i) If the Grantee’s Service is terminated due to the Grantee’s Retirement (as defined below), the RSUs shall immediately vest and shall be settled on the schedule set forth in Section 2 or Section 3(a), as applicable (i.e., within thirty (30) days following each of the first three (3) anniversaries of the Date of Grant or, if earlier, within thirty (30) days following the Grantee’s death), subject to the Grantee’s (x) continued compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 5 and Section 6, (y) execution and non- revocation of a separation agreement, including a release of claims, in a form provided by the Company (and executed by deed where appropriate), within the timeframe set forth therein, but no later than thirty (30) days following the Grantee’s Retirement (the “Release Requirement”) and (z) successful completion of the Grantee’s transitional duties prior to Retirement. If the Grantee fails to satisfy the Release Requirement, outstanding RSUs shall be forfeited immediately, automatically and without consideration and the Board may require the Grantee to immediately remit to the Company any shares of Common Stock (or the fair market value thereof (as determined by the Board in its sole discretion) to the extent the Grantee no longer holds the shares of Common Stock) issued in respect of the RSUs as a result of Section 3(b)(i), and the Company shall be entitled to an award of its reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in enforcing its rights pursuant to this Section 3(b)(i). ii) Notwithstanding Section 3(b)(i), if (x) the Company receives a legal opinion stating that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in the Grantee’s jurisdiction that likely would result in Section 3(b)(i) being deemed unlawful or in violation of Section 409A, or (y) any of the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 5 and Section 6 are held by any court or governmental authority (or otherwise deemed) to be void, unlawful or unenforceable with respect to the Grantee, then Section 3(b)(i) shall be void ab initio and the RSUs shall be subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement. If the Grantee has already received shares of Common Stock as a result of Section 3(b)(i), the Board may require the Grantee to immediately remit to the Company any shares of Common Stock (or the fair market value thereof (as determined by the Board in its sole discretion) to the extent the Grantee no longer holds the shares of Common Stock), and the Company shall be entitled to an award of its reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in enforcing its rights pursuant to this Section 3(b)(ii). iii) For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” means a termination of the Grantee’s Service following Notice (as defined below), other than a termination of the Grantee’s Service for Cause or where grounds for a termination of the Grantee’s Service for Cause exist; provided that at the time of such Notice the Grantee has satisfied one (or more) of the following: (x) attainment of at least fifty-five (55) years of age and ten (10) full years of continuous Service, (y) attainment of at least sixty (60) years of age and five (5) full years of continuous Service or (z) attainment of at least sixty-five (65) years of age and two (2) full years of continuous Service, in each case, as determined by the Company’s HRIS. To invoke a termination due to Retirement, the Grantee must provide at least six (6) months prior written notice to the Grantee’s direct manager at the applicable member of the Company Group (the “Notice”) and the termination date must be at least six (6) months following the Date of Grant. c) Change in Control.


 
i) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control in which the acquirer or the surviving entity does not assume or substitute the RSUs, the RSUs shall immediately vest and shall be settled on the schedule set forth in Section 2 or Section 3(a), as applicable (i.e., within thirty (30) days following each of the first three (3) anniversaries of the Date of Grant or, if earlier, within thirty (30) days following the Grantee’s death); provided, however, that, in accordance with Section 10(c)(2) of the Plan, if such Change in Control would constitute a “change in control event” within the meaning of Section 409A and the Grantee’s Service is terminated by a member of the Company Group (including any acquirer or successor) without Cause or by the Grantee for Good Reason, in each case, following such Change in Control but prior to the first anniversary thereof, then the RSUs shall be settled within thirty (30) days following such termination of Service. ii) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control in which the acquirer or the surviving entity assumes or substitutes the RSUs, the RSUs shall both vest and be settled in accordance with Section 2 and Section 3 (as applicable); provided, however, that, in accordance with Section 10(c)(2) of the Plan, if the Grantee’s Service is terminated by a member of the Company Group (including any acquirer or successor) without Cause or by the Grantee for Good Reason, in each case, following such Change in Control but prior to the first anniversary thereof then the RSUs shall immediately vest and shall be settled (x) on the schedule set forth in Section 2 or Section 3(a), as applicable (i.e., within thirty (30) days following each of first three (3) anniversaries of the Date of Grant or, if earlier, within thirty (30) days following the Grantee’s death), if such Change in Control would not constitute a “change in control event” within the meaning of Section 409A or (y) within thirty (30) days following such termination of Service if such Change in Control would constitute a “change in control event” within the meaning of Section 409A. d) Other Terminations. Except as otherwise provided under Section 3(a), Section 3(b)(i) and Section 3(c) of this Agreement, upon the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason, any RSUs that have not vested as of such termination shall be forfeited immediately, automatically and without consideration (unless the Board, in its sole discretion, determines otherwise). A termination of Service shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the Grantee ceases to perform active employment duties for the Company Group, regardless of any notice period, salary continuation period or other severance period. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, this Agreement or any other agreement between any member of the Company Group and the Grantee to the contrary, the Grantee shall not be entitled to any compensation for the loss of any rights under the Plan or this Agreement as a result of the termination of the Grantee’s Service. 4) Settlement. Upon settlement of the RSUs, the Company shall deliver to the Grantee, for each vested RSU, one (1) share of Common Stock, subject to any terms and conditions set forth in the Plan or imposed by the Board. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be delivered and any fractions shall be rounded down. 5) Confidential and Proprietary Information.


 
a) The Grantee acknowledges that in connection with the Grantee’s Service, the Grantee is placed in a position of confidence and trust with the Company Group and in line with that position has and will continue to have access to information of a nature not generally disclosed to the public. The Grantee agrees to keep confidential and not: (i) use or (ii) disclose to anyone any Confidential and Proprietary Information, except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company Group, as required by law or as authorized by the Board of Directors. “Confidential and Proprietary Information” includes but is not limited to all the Company Group’s trade secrets, business and strategic plans, financial details, computer programs, manuals, contracts, current and prospective client and supplier lists, and all other documentation, business knowledge, data, material, property and supplier lists, and developments owned, possessed or controlled by the Company Group, regardless of whether possessed or developed by the Grantee in the course of the Grantee’s Service. Such Confidential and Proprietary Information may or may not be designated as confidential or proprietary and may be oral, written or electronic media. The Grantee understands that such information is owned and shall continue to be owned solely by the Company Group, and hereby represents that the Grantee has not and will not disclose, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any Confidential and Proprietary Information. The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee has complied and will continue to comply with this commitment, both as an employee and after the termination of the Grantee’s Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential and Proprietary Information does not include any information that: (1) is already in the public domain or becomes available to the public through no breach by the Grantee of this Agreement; (2) was lawfully in the Grantee’s possession prior to disclosure to the Grantee by the Company Group; (3) is lawfully disclosed to the Grantee by a third party (other than any member of the Company Group, or any of its representatives, agents or employees) without any obligations of confidentiality attaching to such disclosure; (4) is developed by the Grantee entirely on the Grantee’s own time without the Company Group’s equipment, supplies or facilities and does not relate at the time of conception to the Company Group’s business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development; or (5) is lawfully acquired by a non-supervisory employee about wages, hours or other terms and conditions of employment when used for purposes protected by §7 of the National Labor Relations Act such as discussing wages, benefits or terms and conditions of employment, or other legally protected concerted activity for mutual aid or protection of laborers. Information shall not be deemed to be in the public domain merely because any part of said information is embodied in general disclosures or because individual features, components, or combinations thereof are now or become known to the public or are in the public domain. b) The provisions in this Agreement do not prohibit the Grantee from communicating with any governmental authority or making a report in good faith and with a reasonable belief of any violations of law or regulation to a governmental authority, or from testifying or participating in a legal proceeding relating to such violations, including providing documents or information or making other disclosures protected or required by any whistleblower law or regulation to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Department of Labor, or any other appropriate government authority. This may include disclosure of trade secret or confidential information within the limitations permitted by the 2016 Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA). The Grantee understands, agrees and acknowledges that under the DTSA,


 
(1) no individual will be held criminally or civilly liable under Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret (as defined in the Economic Espionage Act) that: (A) is made in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and made solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal so that it is not made public; and (2) an individual who pursues a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of the law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and does not disclose the trade secret, except as permitted by court order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee expressly agrees to honor the confidentiality obligations in this Agreement and will only share Confidential and Proprietary Information with the Grantee’s attorney or with the government agency or entity in accordance with this Section 5. Further, nothing in this Agreement limits or affects Grantee’s right to disclose or discuss sexual harassment or sexual assault disputes. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to permit or condone unlawful conduct, including but not limited to the theft or misappropriation of Company Group’s property, trade secrets or information. 6) Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. In consideration of the promises contained herein and the Grantee’s access and exposure to Confidential and Proprietary Information provided to the Grantee, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Grantee agrees that during the Grantee’s Service and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of Service due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the Vesting Date (in each case, except with respect to Section 5(f), which restrictions apply in perpetuity), the Grantee shall not, on behalf of the Grantee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, entity or organization other than the Company Group, whether as an agent or otherwise: a) Contact, call on, provide advice to, solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group with whom the Grantee directly performed any services or had any direct business contact; b) Contact, call on, provide advice to, solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group whose entity- or other customer-specific information the Grantee discovered or gained access to as a result of the Grantee’s access to Company Group’s Confidential and Proprietary Information; c) Utilize the Company Group’s Confidential and Proprietary Information to solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group; d) Solicit or induce, either directly or indirectly, any employee of the Company


 
Group to leave the employ of any member of the Company Group or become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than the Company Group; or take any action to assist any subsequent employer or any other person, entity or organization, either directly or indirectly, in soliciting or inducing any employee of a member of the Company Group to leave the employ of such member of the Company Group or become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than a member of the Company Group; or hire or employ, or assist in the hiring or employment of, either directly or indirectly, any individual employed by a member of the Company Group within sixty (60) days preceding that individual’s hire by the Grantee or the Grantee’s subsequent employer; e) Become employed by, render services to or directly or indirectly (whether for compensation or otherwise, and whether as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, lender, investor, corporate officer, board member, director, or in any other individual or representative capacity), own or hold a proprietary interest in, manage, operate, or control, or join or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or furnish any capital to or be connected in any manner with, any Competing Enterprise. For purposes of this Section 6(e), a “Competing Enterprise” means any entity, organization or person engaged, or planning to become engaged, in substantially the same or similar business to that being conducted or actively and specifically planned to be conducted during the Grantee’s Service or within six (6) months after the Grantee’s termination of Service, owned or controlled. It includes, without limitation: (i) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being involved in providing any products or services relating to transaction or payment processing, including those for the benefit of fleets; travel; healthcare; education; payroll; or, benefits through charge cards, credit cards, procurement cards or any other form of payment services or electronic commerce; (ii) the sale, distribution or publication of petroleum product pricing or management information or other products or services currently sold or to the best of the Grantee’s knowledge contemplated to be sold by the Company or any of its owned or controlled subsidiaries, and (iii) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being involved in providing commercial travel, entertainment and purchasing credit cards. The restrictions in this Section 6 shall be effective and binding only to the extent permissible under Rule 5.6 of the Maine Rules of Professional Conduct or any similar rule governing the practice of law that is applicable to the Grantee. The restrictions in this Section 6 shall not be construed to prevent the Grantee from, following the termination of the Grantee’s Service, working for a business entity that does not compete with the Company Group simply because the entity is affiliated with a Competing Enterprise, so long as the entity is operationally separate and distinct from the Competing Enterprise and the Grantee’s job responsibilities at that entity are unrelated to the Competing Enterprise. The restrictions in this Section 6 will not apply to employment by or the rendering of services to businesses that sell fuel or convenience items if those businesses are not directly competing with the Company Group, owned or controlled. The restrictions in this Section 6 shall also not be deemed to prohibit the Grantee from owning not more than one percent (1%) of the total shares of all classes of stock of any publicly held company. The Grantee acknowledges that the Company Group’s businesses are conducted internationally and agrees that the provisions in this Section 6 shall operate in any country in which the Company Group conducts business while the Grantee is/was employed by a member of the Company Group; and/or


 
f) Subject to Section 5(b), and except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company Group in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise explicitly directed in writing by an officer of the Company, directly or through others: (a) provide any confidential information, including any information derived from the Grantee’s experience with the Company Group, to (i) any competitor of the Company Group, (ii) any person the Grantee knows or has reason to believe may be an investor or prospective investor in the Company Group, (iii) a member of the media, (iv) any prospective acquirer of any member of the Company Group, (v) any litigant or potential litigant against any member of the Company Group, (vi) any other person seeking information regarding the Company Group (including, without limitation, information with respect to its business, executives, directors, balance sheet, history, prospects or opportunities) or seeking to change or influence the control of the Company Group, or (vii) any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing (any such person described in clauses (i) to (vii), a “Potential Adverse Party”); (b) make, publicly or privately, any statements that disparage, or could otherwise cause harm to, the business or reputation of any member of the Company Group and/or any current or former officer, director or employee of any member of the Company Group; (c) join a “group” or become a “participant” in a solicitation with respect to the Company Group (other than a solicitation by the Board of Directors), as those terms are defined in applicable securities laws; and (d) aid, encourage, advise or otherwise provide assistance to any Potential Adverse Party in (i) asserting, prosecuting or defending any claim, action or proceeding against any member of the Company Group, (ii) undertaking a proxy contest, withhold campaign or other shareholder activism campaign or proxy solicitation against any member of the Company Group, (iii) proposing to acquire any member of the Company Group or any of its assets or (iv) making any other demands of any member of the Company Group. If the Grantee is contacted by any Potential Adverse Party, the Grantee shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Company’s Chief Legal Officer (the “CLO”), and shall not discuss the Company Group with any such Potential Adverse Party without prior written approval from the CLO. The Company Group has previously entered into agreements with certain executives and employees that contain restrictive covenants (“Restrictions”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee is party to an employment or other agreement containing Restrictions on (a) confidentiality, (b) solicitation of customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group, (c) solicitation or hire of the employees of any member of the Company Group, and/or (d) competition (collectively, “Existing Restrictions”), any such Existing Restrictions will remain in effect and the Grantee shall remain bound by such Existing Restrictions. To the extent the restrictions contained in Section 5 and Section 6 of this Agreement conflict in any way with any Existing Restriction(s), such conflict shall be resolved by giving effect to the provision that provides the greatest protection to the Company Group that is enforceable under applicable law. The Grantee agrees and acknowledges that the period of time, geographical scope, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this Agreement are fair, and reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company Group. The Grantee also acknowledges that in the event the Grantee breaches any part of Section 5 and Section 6 of this Agreement, the damages to the Company Group would be irreparable. Therefore, in addition to monetary damages and/or reasonable attorney fees, the Company Group shall have the right to seek injunctive and/or other equitable


 
relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement. Further, the Grantee consents to the issuance of a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of any proceeding. The Grantee further understands and agrees that if the Grantee breaches any covenant set forth in Section 6, the duration of any covenant so breached shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, automatically be tolled from the date of the first breach until the date judicial relief providing effective remedy for such breach or breaches is obtained by the Company Group, or until the Company Group states in writing that it will seek no judicial relief for such breach. If any one or more provisions of Section 5 and Section 6 shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to time, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed, by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the greatest extent compatible with applicable law as it shall then appear, and the parties expressly agree that any of the provisions of Section 5 and Section 6 may be reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled to make such provision enforceable, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the parties consent to the enforcement of such provision as so reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled. The Grantee agrees, during (i) the twelve (12) month period following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of Service due to Retirement, the twelve (12) month period following the Vesting Date, to disclose to the Company Group, in writing, any person or entity with whom the Grantee becomes employed, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated, the Grantee’s date of hire or engagement, the Grantee’s job title, and a complete description of the Grantee’s duties. The Grantee agrees to make such disclosure to the Company Group no later than the date on which the Grantee accepts or otherwise agrees to become employed by, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated with such person or entity. During the Grantee’s Service and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of Service due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the Vesting Date, the Grantee will provide any person or entity that the Grantee seeks an offer of employment or other engagement or retention from notice of the existence of this Agreement and the terms of Section 5 and Section 6 before requesting or accepting such an offer. If the Grantee fails to provide such notice, the Grantee understands that the Grantee may be held liable for any consequential damages resulting from such failure. The Grantee agrees that the Company Group may send a copy of this Agreement to, or otherwise make the provisions of Section 5 and Section 6 of this Agreement known to, any of the Grantee’s potential and future employers or other entity considering engaging the Grantee or which has engaged or employed the Grantee. The Grantee agrees not to assert any claim that such conduct by the Company Group is legally actionable interference or otherwise impermissible regardless of whether or not the provisions of Section 5 and Section 6 are later found to be enforceable in whole or in part. Mindful of the obligations set forth in Section 5 and Section 6, upon termination of the Grantee’s Service, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company Group. 7) Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Beneficiaries. Unless otherwise


 
determined by the Board, the Grantee shall not be permitted to transfer or assign this Agreement or the RSUs, except as expressly permitted under the Plan. The Company may assign this Agreement to an entity controlled by or under common control with the Company or to an entity that acquires all or substantially all of the business, equity or assets of the Company. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company Group and its successors and assigns and upon the Grantee and the Grantee’s heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer on any person other than the Company Group and the Grantee, and their respective heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement. 8) Withholding. As a condition to the granting of the RSUs, the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee is responsible for the payment of income and employment taxes (and any other taxes) payable in connection with the vesting and/or settlement of the RSUs. The Company Group shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold automatically from any payment or shares of Common Stock deliverable under this Agreement, or require the Grantee to remit to the Company Group, the minimum statutory amount to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Agreement (the “Minimum Withholding”) in a form that is reasonably acceptable to the Company (as determined by the Company in its sole discretion); provided that, except as otherwise provided by the Board, with respect to the withholding of shares of Common Stock, if the Company Group is able to withhold from the shares of Common Stock deliverable under this Agreement such number of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value (as determined by the Board in its sole discretion) that is greater than the Minimum Withholding without financial accounting implications for the Company or the withholding is in a jurisdiction that does not have a Minimum Withholding, the Company Group shall have the power and the right, including at the Grantee's request, to deduct or withhold automatically from any shares of Common Stock deliverable under this Agreement up to the maximum individual statutory rate of tax (determined by, or in a manner approved by, the Company) to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any taxes that the Company Group is required to withhold in connection with the vesting of the RSUs, the Company Group shall deduct or withhold automatically from any shares of Common Stock deliverable under this Agreement the number of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal to the Minimum Withholding with respect to such taxable event, which retained shares of Common Stock shall fund the payment of such taxes by the Company on the Grantee’s behalf. 9) No Rights to Continued Service. The granting of the RSUs shall impose no obligation on any member of the Company Group to continue the Service of the Grantee and shall not interfere in any way with the right of any member of the Company Group to terminate such Service. 10) Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action or other matters that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflict or choice


 
of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation thereof to the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. 11) Consent to Jurisdiction. The Company and the Grantee, by the Grantee’s execution hereof, (a) hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Delaware for the purposes of any claim or action arising out of or based upon this Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof, (b) hereby waive, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, and agree not to assert by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such claim or action, any claim that the Grantee is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that the Grantee’s property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that any such proceeding brought in the above-named court is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court and (c) hereby agree not to commence any claim or action arising out of or based upon this Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof other than before the above-named courts nor to make any motion or take any other action seeking or intending to cause the transfer or removal of any such claim or action to any court other than the above-named courts whether on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise; provided, however, that the Company and the Grantee may seek to enforce a judgment issued by the above-named courts in any proper jurisdiction. The Company and the Grantee hereby consent to service of process in any such proceeding, and agree that service of process by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at the Grantee’s address specified pursuant to Section 15 is reasonably calculated to give actual notice. 12) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES AND COVENANTS THAT THE GRANTEE SHALL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE OR ACTION, CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION OR SUIT (IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE), INQUIRY, PROCEEDING OR INVESTIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INFORMED BY THE OTHER PARTY HERETO THAT THIS SECTION 12 CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT UPON WHICH THEY ARE RELYING AND SHALL RELY IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT. ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 12 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. 13) Compliance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary: a) The Company intends that the RSUs satisfy the requirements of Section 409A. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with that intent, such that there are no adverse tax consequences, interest or penalties under Section 409A as a result of the RSUs. In no event


 
whatsoever will any member of the Company Group or any of their respective directors, officers, agents, attorneys, employees, shareholders, investors, managers, fiduciaries, successors or assigns be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on the Grantee under Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A. b) A termination of Service shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A upon or following a termination of Service 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,” “terminate,” “termination of Service” or like terms shall mean “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. If any payment, compensation or other benefit provided to the Grantee, due to the termination of the Grantee’s employment, is determined, in whole or in part, to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and the Grantee is a specified employee as defined in Section 409A(2)(B)(i) of the Code, no part of such payments shall be paid before the day that is six (6) months plus one (1) day after the date of termination or, if earlier, ten (10) business days following the Grantee’s death (the “New Payment Date”). The aggregate of any payments that otherwise would have been paid to the Grantee during the period between the date of termination and the New Payment Date shall be paid to the Grantee in a lump sum on such New Payment Date. Thereafter, any payments that remain outstanding as of the day immediately following the New Payment Date shall be paid without delay over the time period originally scheduled, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. c) If under this Agreement, an amount is paid in two or more installments, for purposes of Section 409A, each installment shall be treated as a separate payment. Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days (e.g., “as soon as practicable following the applicable Vesting Date, but no later than thirty (30) days following such Vesting Date”), the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company. 14) No Guarantees Regarding Tax Treatment. Grantee (or Grantee’s beneficiaries) shall be responsible for all taxes with respect to the RSUs. The Board and the Company make no guarantees regarding the tax treatment of the RSUs. Neither the Board nor the Company has any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any tax under Section 409A of the Code or Section 457A of the Code or otherwise. 15) Notices. Any notice required or permitted under this Agreement shall be deemed given when delivered personally, or when deposited in the regular mail, postage prepaid, addressed, as appropriate, to the Grantee at the last address specified in the Grantee’s employment records (or such other address as the Grantee may designate in writing to the Company), or to the Company, 1 Hancock Street, Portland, ME 04101, Attention: Chief Legal Officer, or such other address as the Company may designate in writing to the Grantee. 16) No Effect on Compensation. The amount of any compensation the Grantee receives pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute includable compensation for purposes of


 
determining the amount of benefits to which the Grantee is entitled to under any other compensation or benefit plan or program of the Company Group, including, without limitation, under any pension or severance benefits plan, except to the extent specifically provided by the terms of any such plan or as otherwise expressly required under applicable law. 17) Failure to Enforce Not a Waiver. The failure of the Company to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof. 18) Recoupment/Clawback. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, any amounts paid (in cash or non-cash) to the Grantee under this Agreement that are subject to recovery under any current or future law, government regulation, stock exchange listing requirement, or policy of the Company Group (“Company Policy”), will be recouped and recovered by the Company pursuant to such law, government regulation, stock exchange listing requirement, or Company Policy unless such Company Policy violates the laws of the State of Delaware. 19) Amendments. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate this Agreement, the Plan, or any portion thereof at any time, in its sole discretion; provided, that no action taken by the Board shall adversely affect in any material respect any rights granted to the Grantee under this Agreement (other than pursuant to Article 10 of the Plan or as the Board deems necessary to comply with applicable law, including without limitation, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Section 409A) without the Grantee’s written consent. No amendment or modification of any term of this Agreement shall be effective unless signed in writing by or on behalf of the Company and, if required, the Grantee, and made in accordance with the terms of the Plan. 20) Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and the invalidity of any one or more provisions shall not affect the validity of any other provision. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof is unenforceable in whole or in part because of the duration or scope thereof, the parties hereto agree that said court in making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and scope of such provision to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, and that the Agreement in its reduced form shall be valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted by law. 21) Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including Exhibit A), the Memorandum and the Plan constitute the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous arrangements, agreements and understandings, whether oral or written and whether express or implied, and whether in term sheets, presentations or otherwise, among the parties hereto, or between any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, that, the Grantee shall continue to be bound by any other confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation and other similar restrictive covenants contained in any other agreements between the Grantee and the Company, its affiliates and their respective predecessors to which the Grantee is bound.


 
22) Authority. The Board has complete authority and discretion to determine Awards, and to interpret and construe the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. The determination of the Board as to any matter relating to the interpretation or construction of the Plan or this Agreement shall be final, binding and conclusive on all parties. 23) Rights as a Stockholder. The Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Common Stock underlying or relating to any Award until the Common Stock is issued to the Grantee, as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company. 24) Signature in Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Facsimile and pdf e-mail signatures shall have the same legal effect as manual signatures. 25) Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver this Agreement, the Memorandum and any other documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Grantee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to sign this Agreement and the Memorandum by acknowledgment through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company. * * * IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of [DATE]. WEX INC. By: Title: GRANTEE _____________________________________ Name:


 
EXHIBIT A Country and State Specific Provisions This Exhibit A includes special terms and conditions applicable to Awards granted to such Grantee under the Plan if the Grantee resides and/or works in one of the jurisdictions listed below. These terms and conditions are in addition to or, if so indicated, in replacement of the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement. This Exhibit A also includes information regarding Confidential and Proprietary Information, Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and certain other issues of which the Grantee should be aware with respect to the Grantee’s receipt of the Restricted Stock Units and participation in the Plan. The information is based on the exchange control, securities and other laws in effect in the respective jurisdictions as of March 2024. However, such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Grantee not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the Grantee vests in the Restricted Stock Units, acquires shares (or the cash equivalent) or sells the Common Stock acquired under the Restricted Stock Units. In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Grantee’s particular situation and the Company is not in a position to assure the Grantee of any particular result. Accordingly, the Grantee is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Grantee’s jurisdiction may apply to the Grantee’s situation. Finally, if the Grantee is a citizen or resident of a jurisdiction other than the one in which the Grantee is currently residing and/or working, transfers employment and/or residency to another jurisdiction after the Award is granted or is considered a resident of another jurisdiction for local law purposes, the terms and conditions and notifications contained herein may not be applicable to the Grantee. The Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions included herein will apply under these circumstances.


 
Australia Termination; Change in Control The following provisions replace Sub-Section 3(d) of the Agreement in its entirety: 3(d) Other Terminations. Except as otherwise provided under Section 3(a), Section 3(b)(i) and Section 3(c) of this Agreement, upon the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason, any RSUs that have not vested as of such termination shall be forfeited immediately, automatically and without consideration (unless the Board, in its sole discretion, determines otherwise). A termination of Service shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the Grantee ceases to be employed and inclusive of any notice period whether worked or paid in lieu, but excluding any salary continuation period or redundancy payment period. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, this Agreement or any other agreement between any member of the Company Group and the Grantee to the contrary, the Grantee shall not be entitled to any compensation for the loss of any rights under the Plan or this Agreement as a result of the termination of the Grantee’s Service. Confidential and Proprietary Information: The following provisions replace Section 5 of the Agreement in its entirety: 5. Confidential and Proprietary Information. The Grantee acknowledges that in connection with the Grantee’s Service, the Grantee is placed in a position of confidence and trust with the Company Group, and in line with that position has and will continue to have access to information of a nature not generally disclosed to the public. The Grantee agrees to keep confidential and not: (i) use or (ii) disclose to anyone any Confidential and Proprietary Information, except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company Group, as required by law or as authorized by the Board of Directors. “Confidential and Proprietary Information” includes but is not limited to all Company Group trade secrets, business and strategic plans, financial details, computer programs, manuals, contracts, current and prospective client and supplier lists, and all other documentation, business knowledge, data, material, property and supplier lists, and developments owned, possessed or controlled by the Company Group, regardless of whether possessed or developed by the Grantee in the course of the Grantee’s employment. Such Confidential and Proprietary Information may or may not be designated as confidential or proprietary and may be oral, written or electronic media. The Grantee understands that such information is owned and shall continue to be owned solely by the Company, and hereby represents that the Grantee has not and will not disclose, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any Confidential and Proprietary Information. The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee has complied and will continue to comply with this commitment, both as an employee and after the termination of the Grantee’s employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential and Proprietary Information does not include any information that: (1) is already in the public domain or becomes available to the public through no breach by the Grantee of this Agreement; (2) was lawfully in the Grantee’s possession prior to disclosure to the Grantee by the Company Group; (3) is lawfully disclosed to the Grantee by a third party (other than the Company, or any of its representatives, agents or employees) without


 
any obligations of confidentiality attaching to such disclosure; or (4) is developed by the Grantee entirely on the Grantee’s own time without the Company Group’s equipment, supplies or facilities and does not relate at the time of conception to the Company Group’s business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development; or (5) is information pertaining to Grantee’s pay or employment terms and conditions if the information is disclosed voluntarily by the Grantee, subject to any additional confidentiality restrictions relating to pay and/or the terms and conditions of employment. Information shall not be deemed to be in the public domain merely because any part of said information is embodied in general disclosures or because individual features, components, or combinations thereof are now or become known to the public or are in the public domain. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation: The following provisions replace Section 6 of the Agreement in its entirety: 6. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. In consideration of the promises contained herein and the Grantee’s access and exposure to Confidential and Proprietary Information provided to the Grantee, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Grantee agrees that during the Grantee’s Service and for the Restraint Period following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason, the Grantee shall not, on behalf of the Grantee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, entity or organization other than the Company, whether as an agent or otherwise: (a) Contact, provide unsolicited advice to, solicit, attempt to take away business where a customer or client has not made contact of their own free-will, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group with whom the Grantee directly performed any services or had any direct business contact within the last 12 months of their employment with the Company; (b) In the Restraint Area, contact, provide unsolicited advice to, solicit, attempt to take away business where a customer or client has not made contact of their own free-will, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group whose entity- or other customer- specific information the Grantee had direct access to and contact with, within the last 12 months of their employment with the Company, as a result of the Grantee’s access to Company Confidential and Proprietary Information; (c) Solicit or induce, either directly or indirectly, any employee of the Company Group with whom the Grantee had a business relationship and/or dealings to leave the employ of the Company Group or become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than the Company Group; or take any action to assist any subsequent employer or any other person, entity or organization, either directly or indirectly, in soliciting or inducing any Company employee to leave the employ of the Company Group become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than the Company Group; or hire or employ, or assist in the hiring or employment of, either directly or indirectly, any individual employed by the Company Group;


 
(d) In the Restraint Area, become employed by, render services to or directly or indirectly (whether for compensation or otherwise, and whether as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, lender, investor, corporate officer, board member, director, or in any other individual or representative capacity) own or hold a proprietary interest in, manage, operate, or control, or join or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or furnish any capital to or be connected in any manner with, any Competing Enterprise. For purposes of this Sub-Section 5(d), a “Competing Enterprise” means any entity, organization or person engaged, or planning to become engaged, in substantially the same or similar business to that being conducted or actively and specifically planned to be conducted during the Grantee’s Service, and of which the Grantee was aware. It includes, without limitation: (i) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being involved in providing any products or services relating to transaction or payment processing, including those for the benefit of fleets; travel; healthcare; education; payroll; or, benefits through charge cards, credit cards, procurement cards or any other form of payment services or electronic commerce; (ii) the sale, distribution or publication of petroleum product pricing or management information or other products or services currently sold or to the best of the Grantee’s knowledge contemplated to be sold by the Company or any of its owned or controlled subsidiaries, and (iii) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being involved in providing commercial travel, entertainment and purchasing credit cards. Furthermore, the restrictions in this Section shall not be construed to prevent the Grantee from, following the termination of the Grantee’s Service, working for a business entity that does not compete with the Company or its subsidiaries simply because the entity is affiliated with a Competing Enterprise, so long as the entity is operationally separate and distinct from the Competing Enterprise and the Grantee’s job responsibilities at that entity are unrelated to the Competing Enterprise. The restrictions in this Section will not apply to employment by or the rendering of services to businesses that sell fuel or convenience items if those businesses are not directly competing with the Company or its subsidiaries, owned or controlled. The restrictions in this Section shall also not be deemed to prohibit the Grantee from owning not more than one percent (1%) of the total shares of all classes of stock of any publicly held company; and/or (e) Subject to Section 5, and except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise explicitly directed in writing by an officer of the Company, directly or through others: (a) provide any confidential information, including any information derived from the Grantee’s experience with the Company, to (i) any competitor of the Company, (ii) any person the Grantee knows or has reason to believe may be an investor or prospective investor in the Company, (iii) a member of the media, (iv) any prospective acquirer of the Company, (v) any litigant or potential litigant against the Company, (vi) any other person seeking information regarding the Company (including, without limitation, information with respect to its business, executives, directors, balance sheet, history, prospects or opportunities) or seeking to change


 
or influence the control of the Company, or (vii) any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing (any such person described in clauses (i) to (vii), a “Potential Adverse Party”); (b) make, publicly or privately, any statements that disparage, or could otherwise cause harm to, the business or reputation of the Company and/or any current or former officer, director or employee of the Company; (c) join a “group” or become a “participant” in a solicitation with respect to the Company (other than a solicitation by the Board of Directors), as those terms are defined in applicable securities laws; and (d) to the extent permitted by law, aid, encourage, advise or otherwise provide assistance to any Potential Adverse Party in (i) asserting, prosecuting or defending any claim, action or proceeding against the Company, (ii) undertaking a proxy contest, withhold campaign or other shareholder activism campaign or proxy solicitation against the Company, (iii) proposing to acquire the Company or any of its assets or subsidiaries or (iv) making any other demands of the Company. If the Grantee is contacted by any Potential Adverse Party, the Grantee shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Company’s Chief Legal Officer (the “CLO”), and shall not discuss the Company with any such Potential Adverse Party without prior written approval from the CLO. For the purposes of this Section 6, “Restraint Period” means: (1) Twelve (12) months from the Grantee’s last day of Service, or if a court holds this period to be unreasonable or invalid, then: (2) Nine (9) months from the Grantee’s last day of Service, or if a court holds this period to be unreasonable or invalid, then: (3) Six (6) months from the Grantee’s last day of Service. For the purposes of this Section 6, “Restraint Area” means: (1) Australia, or if a court holds this geographical scope to be unreasonable or invalid for any reason, then: (2) Victoria, New South Wales and/or any other state, territory and/or location in which the Company or any other company in the WEX group conducts business during Grantee’s Service and in which the Grantee was involved and/or held relationships with clients of the WEX group within these states, or if a court holds this geographical scope to be unreasonable or invalid for any reason, then; (3) The state where the Grantee was employed. For the purposes of this Section 6, the parties understand and agree that the “Company” means WEX Inc. and any of its “related body corporate” as defined by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) as amended from time to time. The Company Group have previously entered into agreements with certain executives and employees that contain restrictive covenants (“Restrictions”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee is party to an employment or other agreement containing Restrictions on (a) confidentiality, (b) solicitation of customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group, (c) solicitation or hire of Company employees, and/or (d) competition (collectively, “Existing Restrictions”), any such Existing Restrictions will


 
remain in effect and the Grantee shall remain bound by such Existing Restrictions, rather than the Restrictions contained in this Section 6. The Grantee agrees and acknowledges that the Restraint Period, Restraint Area, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this Agreement are fair, and reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company. The Grantee also acknowledges that in the event the Grantee breaches any part of Sections 5 or 6, the damages to the Company and its subsidiaries would be irreparable. Therefore, in addition to monetary damages and/or legal costs, the Company shall have the right to seek specific performance, an injunction and/or other equitable relief as appropriate in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement. Further, the Grantee consents to the issuance of an interim injunction to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of any proceeding. The Grantee further understands and agrees that if the Grantee breaches any covenant set forth in Section 6, the duration of any covenant so breached shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, automatically be tolled from the date of the first breach until the date judicial relief providing effective remedy for such breach or breaches is obtained by the Company, or until the Company states in writing that it will seek no judicial relief for such breach. Each restrictive covenant in this Section 6 (resulting from any combination of the wording in this Section 6, including the relevant definitions) constitutes a separate restrictive covenant that is severable from the other restrictive covenants. If any one or more provisions of this Section 6 shall for any reason be held to be void, voidable, unenforceable or illegal by a court or tribunal as to the Restraint Period, Restraint Area, activity or subject, because it goes beyond what is reasonable to protect the Company Group’s business or for any other reason, then that part will be severed and the other restrictive covenants will remain in full force and effect to the greatest extent permitted by law. The Grantee agrees that the Company may send a copy of this Agreement to, or otherwise make the provisions of Sections 5 or 6of this Agreement known to, any of the Grantee’s potential and future employers or other entity considering engaging the Grantee or which has engaged or employed the Grantee where such engagement would breach the terms of this Agreement. The Grantee agrees not to assert any claim that such conduct by the Company is legally actionable interference or otherwise impermissible regardless of whether or not the provisions of Sections 5 or 6are later found to be enforceable in whole or in part. The Grantee understands, acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee has been provided with an opportunity to seek independent legal advice before deciding whether or not to enter into this Agreement and that the Grantee has made the decision on the Grantee’s own accord to agree to the restrictive covenants contained within this Section 6 in exchange for the consideration that the Company is providing as outlined herein. Mindful of the obligations set forth in Sections 5 and 6, upon termination of the Grantee’s employment, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company. No Rights to Continued Service: The following provision supplements Section 9 of the Agreement: The grant of Awards under the Plan is made at the discretion of the Company and the Plan may


 
be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time. The grant of an Award in one (1) year or at one time does not in any way entitle the Grantee to an Award in the future. The Plan is wholly discretionary and is not to be considered part of the Grantee's normal or expected compensation subject to severance, resignation, redundancy or similar compensation. The value of the Award is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of the Grantee's employment contract. Tax Information: The following provisions replace Section 13 of the Agreement in its entirety: 13. Tax Information. The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Ctch) applies (subject to the conditions in that Act). Imposition of Other Requirements: 26) Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, on the Award and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. Securities Law Information: 27) Securities Law Information. The grant of the Award is being made pursuant to Division 1A, Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). If the Grantee offers shares of Company Stock for sale to a person or entity resident in Australia, the offer may be subject to disclosure requirements under Australian law. The Grantee personally should obtain legal advice on applicable disclosure obligations prior to making any such offer. Belgium Award: The reference under Section 1 (Award) to Section 6 should be read as a reference to Section 6, Sub-Section 6bis and Sub-Section 6ter. Confidential and Proprietary Information: The following provisions replace Section 5 of the Agreement in its entirety: 5. Confidential and Proprietary Information. The Grantee acknowledges that in connection with the Grantee’s Service, the Grantee is placed in a position of confidence and trust with the Company Group, and, in line with that position, has and will continue to have access to information of a nature not generally disclosed to the public. The Grantee agrees to keep confidential and not: (i) use or (ii) disclose to anyone any Confidential and Proprietary Information, except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company Group, as required by law or as authorized by the Board of Directors. “Confidential and Proprietary Information” includes, but is not limited to, all Company Group’s trade secrets, business and strategic plans, financial details, computer programs, manuals, contracts, current and prospective client and supplier lists, and all other documentation, business knowledge, data, material, property and supplier lists, and developments owned, possessed or controlled by the Company


 
Group, regardless of whether possessed or developed by the Grantee in the course of the Grantee’s Service. Such Confidential and Proprietary Information may or may not be designated as confidential or proprietary and may be oral, written or electronic media. The Grantee understands that such information is owned and shall continue to be owned solely by the Company Group, and hereby represents that the Grantee has not disclosed and will not disclose, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any Confidential and Proprietary Information. The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee has complied and will continue to comply with this commitment, both as an employee and after the termination of the Grantee’s Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential and Proprietary Information does not include any information that: (1) is already in the public domain or becomes available to the public through no breach by the Grantee of this Agreement; (2) was lawfully in the Grantee’s possession prior to disclosure to the Grantee by the Company Group; (3) is lawfully disclosed to the Grantee by a third party (other than any member of the Company Group, or any of its representatives, agents or employees) without any obligations of confidentiality attaching to such disclosure; or (4) is developed by the Grantee entirely on the Grantee’s own time without the Company Group’s equipment, supplies or facilities and does not relate at the time of conception to the Company Group’s business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development. Information shall not be deemed to be in the public domain merely because any part of said information is embodied in general disclosures or because individual features, components, or combinations thereof are now or become known to the public or are in the public domain. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation: The following provisions replace Section 6 of the Agreement in its entirety: 6.1 Definitions: 6.1.1 “Restricted Period” means the period commencing on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Grantee’s Service terminates for any reason other than Retirement; (ii) the date when the Grantee commences garden leave; or (iii) in the event of termination of Service due to Retirement, the Vesting Date, and continuing for twelve (12) months thereafter. 6.2 Non-Solicitation and Disclosure. In consideration of the promises contained herein and the Grantee’s access and exposure to Confidential and Proprietary Information provided to the Grantee, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Grantee agrees that during the Grantee’s Service, during any period between Retirement and the final Vesting Date (if applicable) and during the Restricted Period, the Grantee shall not, on behalf of the Grantee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, entity or organization other than the Company Group, whether as an agent or otherwise: (a) Contact, call on, provide advice to, solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group with whom the Grantee directly performed any services or had any direct business contact; (b) Contact, call on, provide advice to, solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any


 
customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group whose entity- or other customer-specific information the Grantee discovered or gained access to as a result of the Grantee’s access to Company Group’s Confidential and Proprietary Information; (c) Utilize the Company Group’s Confidential and Proprietary Information to solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group; or (d) Solicit or induce, either directly or indirectly, any employee of the Company Group to leave the employ of any member of the Company Group or become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than the Company Group; or take any action to assist any subsequent employer or any other person, entity or organization, either directly or indirectly, in soliciting or inducing any employee of a member of the Company Group to leave the employ of such member of the Company Group or become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than a member of the Company Group; or hire or employ, or assist in the hiring or employment of, either directly or indirectly, any individual employed by a member of the Company Group within sixty (60) days preceding that individual’s hire by the Grantee or the Grantee’s subsequent employer. 6.3 Subject to the reporting of possible violations of the securities laws to the Belgian supervisory authority, the Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA), and except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company Group in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise explicitly directed in writing by an officer of the Company Group, directly or through others, the Grantee agrees to keep confidential and not: (a) provide any confidential information, including any information derived from the Grantee’s experience with the Company Group, to (i) any competitor of the Company Group, (ii) any person the Grantee knows or has reason to believe may be an investor or prospective investor in the Company Group, (iii) a member of the media, (iv) any prospective acquirer of any member of the Company Group, (v) any litigant or potential litigant against any member of the Company Group, (vi) any other person seeking information regarding the Company Group (including, without limitation, information with respect to its business, executives, directors, balance sheet, history, prospects or opportunities) or seeking to change or influence the control of the Company Group, or (vii) any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing (any such person described in clauses (i) to (vii), a “Potential Adverse Party”); (b) make, publicly or privately, any statements that disparage, or could otherwise cause harm to, the business or reputation of any member of the Company Group and/or any current or former officer, director or employee of any member of the Company Group; (c) join a “group” or become a “participant” in a solicitation with respect to the Company Group (other than a solicitation by the Board of Directors), as those terms are defined in applicable securities laws; and (d) aid, encourage, advise or otherwise provide assistance to any Potential Adverse Party in (i) asserting, prosecuting or defending any claim, action or proceeding against any member of the Company


 
Group, (ii) undertaking a proxy contest, withhold campaign or other shareholder activism campaign or proxy solicitation against any member of the Company Group, (iii) proposing to acquire the Company or any of its assets or (iv) making any other demands of any member of the Company Group. If the Grantee is contacted by any Potential Adverse Party, the Grantee shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Company’s Chief Legal Officer (the “CLO”), and shall not discuss the Company Group with any such Potential Adverse Party without prior written approval from the CLO. 6.4 The Grantee agrees that the Restricted Period will not apply to Sub-Section 6.3 and the Grantee’s obligations under Sub-Section 6.3 will continue in perpetuity. 6bis. Non-Competition. In consideration of the promises contained herein and the Grantee’s access and exposure to Confidential and Proprietary Information provided to the Grantee, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Grantee agrees that during the Grantee’s employment with the Company Group, during any period between Retirement and the final Vesting Date (if applicable) and during the Restricted Period , the Grantee shall not, on behalf of the Grantee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, entity or organization other than the Company or any company or entity of the WEX Group, whether as an agent or otherwise: become employed by, render services to or directly or indirectly (whether for compensation or otherwise, and whether as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, lender, investor, corporate officer, board member, director, or in any other individual or representative capacity), own or hold a proprietary interest in, manage, operate, or control, or join or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or furnish any capital to or be connected in any manner with, any Competing Enterprise. For purposes of this Sub-Section (6bis), a “Competing Enterprise” means any entity, organization or person engaged, or planning to become engaged, in substantially the same or similar business to that being conducted or actively and specifically planned to be conducted during the Grantee’s employment with the Company or any company or entity of the WEX Group or within six (6) months after the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company or any company or entity of the WEX Group. It includes, without limitation: (i) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being involved in providing any products or services relating to transaction or payment processing, including those for the benefit of fleets; travel; healthcare; education; payroll; or, benefits through charge cards, credit cards, procurement cards or any other form of payment services or electronic commerce; (ii) the sale, distribution or publication of petroleum product pricing or management information or other products or services currently sold or to the best of the Grantee’s knowledge contemplated to be sold by the Company or any of its owned or controlled subsidiaries, and (iii) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being involved in providing commercial travel, entertainment and purchasing credit cards. If notwithstanding the severability provisions in the Agreement, Sub-Section 6bis as set out above would be considered to be null and void, the Company, acting on behalf of the employer, and the Grantee, agree to be bound by the following provision if the Grantee does not qualify as a sales representative (the “Belgian Alternative Provision 1”):


 
6bis. Non-Competition. In view of the employer’s international field of activity, after the Grantee has left the employer and even if the Grantee’s seniority would be inferior to six (6) months, except in case of termination of the employment by the Grantee for serious cause, the Grantee shall, during the Grantee’s employment with any member of the Company Group, during any period between Retirement and the Vesting Date (if applicable) and during the Restricted Period, on the territory specified below, be prohibited from exercising similar activities, either by running a personal enterprise or by being hired or engaged by a competing employer and having thus the opportunity of causing a prejudice to the employer by using for himself/herself or for the profit of a competitor, the Grantee’s knowledge of any practice specific to the employer which the Grantee has acquired on an industrial or commercial level during the Grantee’s employment. The prohibition referred to in this Sub-Section 6bis applies to the territory of Belgium and the Netherlands. The Grantee accepts that this territory is automatically extended to the countries in which the Grantee would also be active in the last thirty-six (36) months prior to the day of termination of the employment. If the non-competition obligation of this Sub-Section 6bis applies, a one off and lump sum indemnity will be paid to the Grantee, unless the employer waives the application of this clause within fifteen (15) days following the termination of the employment. This indemnity will amount to half of the gross salary for the term of the effective application of the non-competition obligation. If the non-competition obligation of this Sub-Section 6bis applies and if the Grantee fails to comply with its provisions, the Grantee will reimburse to the employer the indemnity the Grantee received and, in addition thereto, the Grantee will pay an equivalent amount as damages, without prejudice to the employer’s right to claim any additional damages. If, notwithstanding the severability provisions in the Agreement, the Belgian Alternative Provision 1 would also be considered to be null and void, the Company, acting on behalf of the employer, and the Grantee, agree to be bound by the following provision if the Grantee does not qualify as a sales representative (the “Belgian Alternative Provision 2”): 6bis. Non-Competition. The Grantee undertakes, during the course of the employment relationship and for a period of twelve (12) months following the end of the employment, not to perform, in Belgium, any activities which are similar to those exercised by the Grantee at the employer, either in the framework of a competing activity for the Grantee's own account, or directly or indirectly for any competitor of the employer. If the non-competition obligation of this article applies, a one off and lump sum indemnity will be paid to the Grantee, unless the employer waives the application of this clause within fifteen (15) days following the termination of the employment. This indemnity will amount to half of the gross salary for the term of the effective application of the non-competition obligation. If the non-competition obligation of this article applies and if the Grantee fails to comply with its provisions, the Grantee will reimburse to the employer the indemnity the Grantee received and, in addition thereto, the Grantee will pay an equivalent amount as damages, without prejudice to the employer’s right to claim any additional damages.


 
The non-competition obligation of this article will have no effect in case of termination of the employment either during the first six (6) months of the employment, or, afterwards, by the employer for a reason other than serious cause, or by the Grantee for serious cause. If, notwithstanding the severability provisions in the Agreement, Sub-Section 6bis as set out above would be considered to be null and void, the Company, acting on behalf of the employer, and the Grantee, agree to be bound by the following provision if the Grantee qualifies as a sales representative (the “Belgian Alternative Provision 3”): 6bis. Non-Competition. During the course of the employment relationship and for a period of twelve (12) months following the end of the employment, the Grantee will be prohibited from exercising activities which are similar to the activities the Grantee exercises for the employer, within the working area in which the Grantee carried out the Grantee’s activities, either in the framework of a competing activity for the Grantee's own account, or directly or indirectly for any competitor of the employer. The prohibition set forth in this article will have no effect in case of termination of the employment either during the first six (6) months of the employment, or, afterwards, by the employer for a reason other than serious cause, or by the Grantee for serious cause. In case of breach of this non-competition obligation, the Grantee will have to pay a lump-sum indemnity of three (3) months gross remuneration to the employer, without prejudice to the employer’s right to claim higher damages based on the actually suffered loss. 6ter. Common provisions. The restrictions in Section 6 and Sub-Section 6bis shall not be construed to prevent the Grantee from, following the termination of the Grantee’s Service, working for a business entity that does not compete with the Company Group simply because the entity is affiliated with a Competing Enterprise, so long as the entity is operationally separate and distinct from the Competing Enterprise and the Grantee’s job responsibilities at that entity are unrelated to the Competing Enterprise. The restrictions in the foregoing Section 6 and Sub- Section 6bis will not apply to employment by or the rendering of services to businesses that sell fuel or convenience items if those businesses are not directly competing with the Company Group, owned or controlled. The restrictions in the foregoing Section 6 and Sub-Section 6bis shall also not be deemed to prohibit the Grantee from owning not more than one percent (1%) of the total shares of all classes of stock of any publicly held company. The Grantee acknowledges that the Company Group’s businesses are conducted internationally and agrees that the provisions in the foregoing Section 6 and Sub-Section 6bis shall operate in any country in which the Company Group conducts business while the Grantee is/was employed by a member of the Company Group. Existing Restrictions - The Company Group has previously entered into agreements with certain executives and employees that contain restrictive covenants (“Restrictions”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee is party to an employment or other agreement containing Restrictions on (a) confidentiality, (b) solicitation of customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group, (c) solicitation or hire of employees of any member of the Company Group, and/or (d) competition (collectively, “Existing Restrictions”), any such Existing Restrictions will remain in effect and the Grantee shall remain bound by such Existing Restrictions. To the extent the restrictions contained in Section 5, Section 6 or Sub- Section 6bis of this Agreement conflict in any way with any Existing Restriction(s), such conflict shall be resolved by giving effect to the provision that provides the greatest protection to the


 
Company Group that is enforceable under applicable law. In case several provisions offer the same level of protection, the most recent one shall prevail. The Grantee agrees and acknowledges that the period of time, geographical scope, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this Agreement are fair, and reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company Group. The Grantee also acknowledges that in the event the Grantee breaches any part of Section 5, Section 6 or Sub-Section 6bis of this Agreement, the damages to the Company Group would be irreparable. Therefore, in addition to monetary damages and/or reasonable attorney fees, the Company Group shall have the right to seek injunctive and/or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement. Further, the Grantee consents to the issuance of a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of any proceeding. The Grantee further understands and agrees that if the Grantee breaches any covenant set forth in Section 6 or Sub-Section 6bis, the duration of any covenant so breached shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, automatically be tolled from the date of the first breach until the date judicial relief providing effective remedy for such breach or breaches is obtained by the Company Group, or until the Company Group states in writing that it will seek no judicial relief for such breach. Disclosure - The Grantee agrees, during the period of twelve (12) months immediately following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason, to disclose to the Company Group, in writing, any person or entity with whom the Grantee becomes employed, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated, the Grantee’s date of hire or engagement, the Grantee’s job title, and a complete description of the Grantee’s duties. The Grantee agrees to make such disclosure to the Company Group no later than the date on which the Grantee accepts or otherwise agrees to become employed by, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated with such person or entity. Communication – During the Grantee’s Service and for a period of at least twelve (12) months thereafter, the Grantee will provide any person or entity that the Grantee seeks an offer of employment or other engagement or retention from notice of the existence of this Agreement and the terms of Section 5, Section 6 and Sub-Section 6bis before requesting or accepting such an offer. If the Grantee fails to provide such notice, the Grantee understands that the Grantee may be held liable for any consequential damages resulting from such failure. The Grantee agrees that the Company Group may send a copy of this Agreement to, or otherwise make the provisions of Section 5, Section 6, or Sub-Section 6bis of this Agreement known to, any of the Grantee’s potential and future employers or other entity considering engaging the Grantee or which has engaged or employed the Grantee. The Grantee agrees not to assert any claim that such conduct by the Company Group is legally actionable interference or otherwise impermissible regardless of whether or not the provisions of Section 5, Section 6, or Sub-Section 6bis are later found to be enforceable in whole or in part. Severability - If any one or more provisions of Section 5, Section 6, Sub-Section 6bis or Sub- Section 6ter shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to time, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed, by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the greatest extent compatible with applicable law as it shall then appear, and the parties expressly agree that any of the provisions of Section 5, Section 6, Sub-Section 6bis or Sub-Section 6ter may be reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled to make such provision enforceable,


 
to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the parties consent to the enforcement of such provision as so reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled. Mindful of the obligations set forth in Section 5, Section 6, Sub-Section 6bis or Sub-Section 6ter, upon termination of the Grantee’s Service, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company Group. It is explicitly agreed that, except for the paragraphs above on (i) Existing Restrictions, (ii) Disclosure, (iii) Communication and (iv) Severability, the provisions of Sub-Section 6ter do not apply in relation to the Belgian Alternative Provision 1 nor in relation to the Belgian Alternative Provision 2 nor in relation to the Belgian Alternative Provision 3. Withholding: The following provision supplements Section 8 of the Agreement: Section 8 shall be without prejudice to the applicable tax and social security obligations under Belgian law applying to the Company Group. No Rights to Continued Service: The following provision supplements Section 9 of the Agreement: The grant of Awards under the Plan is made at the discretion of the Company Group and the Plan may be suspended or terminated by the Company Group at any time. The grant of an Award in one (1) year or at one time does not in any way entitle the Grantee to an Award in the future. The Plan is wholly discretionary and is not to be considered part of the Grantee's normal or expected compensation subject to severance, resignation, redundancy or similar compensation. The value of the Award is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of the Grantee's Service. Data Privacy: 26) Data Privacy. (a) The Company Group, in its capacity as Controller, grants Awards under the Plan to employees of the Company Group in its sole discretion. In conjunction with the Company Group’s grant of the Award under the Plan and its ongoing administration of such awards, the Company Group collects, uses and otherwise processes (“Process (es)(ing)”) the Grantee’s personal data (“Personal Data”), including the Grantee’s name, home address, email address, and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any shares of Common Stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Awards or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor, which the Company Group receives from the Grantee or the employer. (b) Data Collection, Processing and Usage. In granting the Award under the Plan, the Company Group will Process the Grantee’s Personal Data for purposes of allocating shares of Common Stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company Group’s legal basis, where required, for the Processing of the Grantee’s Personal Data is the necessity for the Company Group to (i) perform its contractual obligations under this Agreement, (ii) comply with legal obligations established in the European Union, European Economic Area,


 
and the United Kingdom (“EEA+”), and/or (iii) pursue the legitimate interest of complying with legal obligations established outside of the EEA+. (c) Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. The Company Group transfers the Grantee’s Personal Data to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and its affiliates, independent service providers based in the United States, which assist the Company Group with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan (the “Service Provider”). In the future, the Company Group may select a different Service Provider and share the Grantee’s Personal Data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Service Provider will open an account for the Grantee to receive and trade shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan. The Grantee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Service Provider, which is a condition to the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan. (d) International Data Transfers. The Company Group and the Service Provider are based in the United States. The Grantee should note that the Grantee’s country of residence may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. In order to protect the Grantee’s privacy, where Personal Data are transferred by or on behalf of the Company Group to other countries or organizations that have not been recognized as providing regulatory protection similar to the Grantee’s country, the Company Group contractually obliges its international entities, affiliates and service providers to comply with the applicable data protection laws and principles through standard clauses that have been approved or recognized by the relevant regulators. The Company Group also relies on the Grantee’s consent per this Agreement as the legal basis for the transfer of the Grantee’s Personal Data to the United States is the Grantee’s consent. (e) Voluntariness and Consequences of Failure to Perform Under the Agreement, Consent Denial or Consent Withdrawal. The Grantee’s participation in the Plan and his or her performance under this Agreement, including agreeing to the Processing of the necessary Personal Data is purely voluntary. The Grantee may end his or her participation in the Plan, terminate this Agreement or deny or withdraw his or her consent to the transfer of his or her Personal Data at any time. If the Grantee does not consent, or if the Grantee later withdraws his or her consent, the Grantee may be unable to participate in the Plan. This will not affect the Grantee’s existing employment or salary; instead, the Grantee merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan. (f) Data Subjects Rights. The Grantee may have a number of rights under the data privacy laws in the Grantee’s country of residence. For example, the Grantee’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of Personal Data the Company Processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect Personal Data, (iii) request deletion of Personal Data, (iv) place restrictions on Processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent privacy or data protection authorities in the Grantee’s country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Grantee’s Personal Data. To receive clarification regarding the Grantee’s rights or to exercise his or her rights, the Grantee should refer to the relevant privacy policy available at https://www.wexinc.com/workday/legal-notices/ and contact his or her local human resources department. (g) Personal Data Retention. The Company Group and its Service Provider will retain the Grantee’s Personal Data no longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was processed


 
for the duration of this Agreement, unless a longer period is required to comply with applicable laws. Retention periods may vary depending on i) purpose for which the Personal Data was collected and used, which may differ depending on the nature of the Personal Data and the activities involved, ii) the length of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, or iii) whether there are legal obligations to which either the Company Group or the Grantee are subject. (h) For more information on how the Company Group processes the Grantee’s Personal Data, please refer to the relevant privacy policy available at https://www.wexinc.com/workday/legal-notices/. Imposition of Other Requirements: 27) Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company Group reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, on the Award and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. Additional Acknowledgements and Authorizations: 28) Additional Acknowledgements and Authorizations. By accepting the Award, the Grantee acknowledges, understands and agrees that: a) the future value of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Award is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty; b) neither the Company Group, nor any member thereof, shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Grantee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Award, any payment made pursuant to the Award, or the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan; and c) the Company Group is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company Group making any recommendations regarding participation in the Plan or the acquisition or sale of the shares of Common Stock. The Grantee should consult with his or her personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. Brazil The Plan: The following provision supplements Section 1 of the Agreement: The Grantee’s participation in the Plan is absolutely voluntary. Award: The following provision supplements Section 1 of the Agreement: The Award is not remuneration for services and, therefore, is not to be considered salary, or of salary nature, for any purpose, whatsoever.


 
Termination: The following provision replaces Section 3(d) of the Agreement in its entirety: Other Terminations. Except as otherwise provided under Section 3(a), Section 3(b)(i) and Section 3(c)(ii) of this Agreement, upon the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason, any PRSUs that have not satisfied the Vesting Conditions as of such termination shall be forfeited immediately, automatically and without consideration (unless the Board, in its sole discretion, determines otherwise). A termination of Service shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the Grantee ceases to perform active employment duties for the Company Group, regardless of any notice period, salary continuation period or other severance period. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, this Agreement or any other agreement between any member of the Company Group and the Grantee to the contrary, the Grantee shall not be entitled to any compensation for the loss of any rights under the Plan or this Agreement as a result of the termination of the Grantee’s Service (for any reason whatsoever, other than those provided under Section 3(a), Section 3(b)(i) and Section 3(c)(ii) of this Agreement, whether or not such termination is later found to be invalid or in breach of the employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is employed or providing services or the terms of the Grantee’s employment or service agreement, if any). Confidential and Proprietary Information: The following provisions replace Section 5 of the Agreement in its entirety: 5. Confidential and Proprietary Information. The Grantee acknowledges that in connection with the Grantee’s Service with the Company Group, the Grantee is placed in a position of confidence and trust with the Company Group, and in line with that position has and will continue to have access to information of a nature not generally disclosed to the public. The Grantee agrees to keep confidential and not: (i) use or (ii) disclose to anyone Confidential and Proprietary Information except in the course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company, as required by law or court order, or as authorized, in writing, by the Board of Directors. “Confidential and Proprietary Information” includes but is not limited to all Company Group’ trade secrets, business and strategic plans, financial details, computer programs, manuals, contracts, current and prospective client and supplier lists, and all other documentation, business knowledge, data, material, property and supplier lists, and developments owned, possessed or controlled by the Company Group, regardless of whether possessed or developed by the Grantee in the course of the Grantee’s employment. Such Confidential and Proprietary Information may or may not be designated as confidential or proprietary and may be oral, written or electronic media. The Grantee understands that such information is owned and shall continue to be owned solely by the Company, and hereby represents that the Grantee has not and will not disclose, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any Confidential and Proprietary Information. The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee has complied and will continue to comply with this commitment, both as an employee and after the termination of the Grantee’s employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential and Proprietary Information does not include any information that: (1) is already in the public domain or becomes available to the public through no breach by the Grantee of this Agreement; (2) was lawfully in the Grantee’s possession prior to disclosure to the Grantee by the Company Group; (3) is lawfully disclosed to the Grantee by a


 
third party (other than the Company, or any of its representatives, agents or employees) without any obligations of confidentiality attaching to such disclosure; or (4) is developed by the Grantee entirely on the Grantee’s own time without the Company Group’s equipment, supplies or facilities and does not relate at the time of conception to the Company Group’s business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development. Information shall not be deemed to be in the public domain merely because any part of said information is embodied in general disclosures or because individual features, components, or combinations thereof are now or become known to the public or are in the public domain. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation: The following provisions replace Section 6 of the Agreement in its entirety, except for subsection 6(f) of the Agreement which remains in force as provided in the Agreement: 6A. Non-Solicitation. In exchange for the Award(s) of RSUs to the Grantee, in accordance with the Plan, Memorandum and this Agreement, and any other related agreements, which the Grantee acknowledges and agrees to be reasonable and sufficient compensation for this Non-Solicitation covenant, and due to the Grantee’s access and exposure to Confidential and Proprietary Information provided to the Grantee, the Grantee agrees that during the Grantee’s Service with the Company Group and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service with the Company Group for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, the latter of (y) twelve (12) months following the date of termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Company and (z) the final Vesting Date, the Grantee shall not, on behalf of the Grantee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, entity or organization other than the Company, whether as an agent or otherwise: (a) Contact, call on, provide advice to, solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group with whom the Grantee directly performed any services or had any direct business contact; (b) Contact, call on, provide advice to, solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group whose entity- or other customer-specific information the Grantee discovered or gained access to as a result of the Grantee’s access to Company Confidential and Proprietary Information; (c) Utilize the Company Group’s Confidential and Proprietary Information to solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group; (d) Solicit or induce, either directly or indirectly, any employee of the Company Group to leave the employ of the Company Group or become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than the Company Group; or take any action to assist any subsequent employer or any other person, entity or organization, either directly or indirectly, in soliciting or inducing any


 
Company employee to leave the employ of the Company Group or become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than the Company Group; or hire or employ, or assist in the hiring or employment of, either directly or indirectly, any individual employed by the Company Group within sixty (60) days preceding that individual’s hire by the Grantee or the Grantee’s subsequent employer. 6B. Non-Competition. Subject to the “Additional Provisions” Section below, in exchange for the Award(s) of RSUs to the Grantee, in accordance with the Plan, Memorandum and this Agreement, and any other related agreements, which the Grantee acknowledges and agrees to be reasonable and sufficient compensation for this Non-Competition covenant, and due to the Grantee’s access and exposure to Confidential and Proprietary Information provided to the Grantee, the Grantee agrees that during the Grantee’s Service with the Company Group and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service with the Company Group for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, the latter of (y) twelve (12) months following the date of termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Company and (z) the final Vesting Date, the Grantee shall not, on behalf of the Grantee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, entity or organization other than the Company, whether as an agent or otherwise become employed by, render services to or directly or indirectly (whether for compensation or otherwise, and whether as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, lender, investor, corporate officer, board member, director, or in any other individual or representative capacity) own or hold a proprietary interest in, manage, operate, or control, or join or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or furnish any capital to or be connected in any manner with, any Competing Enterprise. For purposes of this Sub-Section 6B, a “Competing Enterprise” means any entity, organization or person engaged, or planning to become engaged, in substantially the same or similar business to that being conducted or actively and specifically planned to be conducted by the Grantee’s employer, during the Grantee’s employment with the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary or any other prior or subsequent employer of the same economic group, or within six (6) months after the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary or any other company of the same economic group, in Brazil or abroad, in or with which the Grantee has been involved or concerned to a material extent or, about which the Grantee received Confidential Information, at any time during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of the Grantee’s termination of employment. It includes, without limitation and to the extent applicable: (i) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being involved in providing any products or services relating to transaction or payment processing, including those for the benefit of fleets; travel; healthcare; education; payroll; or, benefits through charge cards, credit cards, procurement cards or any other form of payment services or electronic commerce; (ii) the sale, distribution or publication of petroleum product pricing or management information or other products or services currently sold or to the best of the Grantee’s knowledge contemplated to be sold by the Company or any of its owned or controlled subsidiaries, and (iii) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being involved in providing commercial travel, entertainment and purchasing credit cards. The restrictions in this Section shall not be construed to prevent the Grantee from, following the termination of the Grantee’s Service with the Company Group, working for a business entity that does not compete with the Company or its subsidiaries simply


 
because the entity is affiliated with a Competing Enterprise, so long as the entity is operationally separate and distinct from the Competing Enterprise and the Grantee’s job responsibilities at that entity are unrelated to the Competing Enterprise. The restrictions in this Section will not apply to employment by or the rendering of services to businesses that sell fuel or convenience items if those businesses are not directly competing with the Company or its subsidiaries, owned or controlled. The restrictions in this Section shall also not be deemed to prohibit the Grantee from owning not more than one percent (1%) of the total shares of all classes of stock of any publicly held company. The Grantee acknowledges that the Company Group’s businesses are conducted internationally and agrees that the provisions in this Section shall operate in any country in which the Company conducts business of the same line of business the Grantee was involved with, participated in, or acquired knowledge of while employed by the Company or its subsidiaries. As further compensation for the non-competition restriction imposed after the termination of employment, as described above, the Company or one of its subsidiaries agrees to pay the Grantee an amount equivalent to the Grantee’s last annual salary, payable in twelve (12) equal monthly installments (one for each month of restriction). In the event of a termination due to Retirement, in which case the Grantee shall continue to be eligible to vest and be settled in accordance with schedule set forth in Sub-Sections 3(b) of this Agreement, the parties hereby agree that such future vestings (which are not otherwise available in case of termination for reasons other than Retirement) are sufficient and reasonable compensation for the non- competition period that would start at the Retirement date and end the latter of (y) twelve (12) months following the date of termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Company and (z) the final Vesting Date. In the event the Grantee breaches the Grantee’s obligation to non- compete, the Company shall immediately stop making payments or allowing unvested RSUs to vest (i.e., all unvested RSUs will be forfeited), and may also seek any other remedies provided in this Agreement, by law and/or equity. The parties agree that the Company or the applicable subsidiary, at its sole discretion, shall have the right to reduce the post-termination non-compete period or waive the post-termination non- compete obligation of this Sub-Section 6B of the Grantee at the time the Company or its subsidiary gives notice of termination of employment to the Grantee, regardless of whether the termination is with or without cause, or within ten (10) calendar days of the Grantee’s resignation or Retirement. If the Company or its subsidiary decides to reduce the restrictive period, the post-termination compensation for such period, set forth in this Sub-Section 6B, will be reduced in the same proportion, and, if the Company or its subsidiary decides to waive the Grantee’s post-termination non-compete obligation, then the Grantee shall not be entitled to post-termination compensation, in whole or in part, as provided in this Sub-Section 6B, except that if the Grantee’s termination is due to Retirement, a partial or whole waiver of the non- compete shall not affect the Grantee’s entitlement to future vestings, as provided above. The Grantee hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee has no expectation of a right to the payment described above, except if the Company or its subsidiary requires the Grantee to comply with the non-compete obligation and the Grantee so complies. The Grantee also acknowledges and agrees that the opportunity to participate in the Award and/or the compensation the Grantee may receive under this Sub-Section 6B is sufficient and fair compensation in exchange for the post-termination non-compete restrictions imposed.

The Company transfers the Grantee’s Personal Data to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and its affiliates, independent service providers based in the United States, which assist the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan (the “Service Provider”). In the future, the Company may select a different Service Provider and share the Grantee’s Personal Data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Service Provider will open an account for the Grantee to receive and trade shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan. The Grantee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Service Provider, which is a condition to the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan. (d) International Data Transfers. The Company and the Service Provider are based in the United States.

The Grantee may end the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, terminate this Agreement or deny or withdraw the Grantee’s consent to the transfer of the Grantee’s Personal Data at any time. If the Grantee does not consent, or if the Grantee later withdraws the Grantee’s consent, the Grantee may be unable to participate in the Plan.

Termination of Employment: The following provision replaces the second paragraph of Section 3(d) of the Agreement: IN ACCEPTING THE AWARD, THE GRANTEE SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE GRANTEE HAS READ AND EXPRESSLY ACCEPTS SECTION 3)(d)OF THIS AGREEMENT, AS AMENDED BY THE FOLLOWING PROVISION: A termination of Service or the date upon which the Grantee is no longer employed shall be deemed to have occurred on the date upon which the Grantee ceases to perform active employment duties for the Company or its subsidiaries following the provision of any notification of termination by the Company either, except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, with or without cause, or because of disability, or because of the voluntary or involuntary resignation or retirement from employment by the Grantee, and without regard to any period of notice of termination of employment (whether expressed or implied), any period of notice of resignation or retirement or any period of pay in lieu of any notice, severance or salary continuation or other entitlement, to which the Grantee might then be entitled, whether under contract, common or civil law or otherwise, save and except as may be otherwise required by applicable employment standards legislation. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Award, this Agreement or any other agreement (written or oral) to the contrary and except as may be required by applicable employment standards legislation, a) the Grantee shall not be entitled (and by accepting an Award, thereby irrevocably waives any such entitlement) to any payment or other benefit to compensate the Grantee for the loss of any rights under the Plan as a


 
result of the termination or expiration of an Award in connection with any termination of employment (for any reason), on a pro-rata basis or otherwise, and whether under contract, common or civil law or otherwise and b) any payments made under the Plan or that would have been made but for the termination, shall not be included in any damages for wrongful dismissal at common or civil law nor in any damages for a lost opportunity to earn the incentive during a common or civil law reasonable notice period.

Confidential and Proprietary Information: The following provisions replace Section 5 of the Agreement in its entirety: 5. Confidential and Proprietary Information. The Grantee acknowledges that in connection with the Grantee’s Service, the Grantee is placed in a position of confidence and trust with the Company, and in line with that position has and will continue to have access to information of a nature not generally disclosed to the public.

Such Confidential and Proprietary Information may or may not be designated as confidential or proprietary and may be oral, written or electronic media. The Grantee understands that such information is owned and shall continue to be owned solely by the Company, and hereby represents that the Grantee has not and will not disclose, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any Confidential and Proprietary Information. The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee has complied and will continue to comply with this commitment, both as an employee and after the termination of the Grantee’s Service.

Information shall not be deemed to be in the public domain merely because any part of said information is embodied in general disclosures or because individual features, components, or combinations thereof are now or become known to the public or are in the public domain. The provisions in this Agreement do not prohibit the Grantee from communicating with any governmental authority or making a report in good faith and with a reasonable belief of any violations of law or regulation to a governmental authority, or from testifying or participating in


 
a legal proceeding relating to such violations, including making other disclosures protected or required by any whistleblower law or regulation to any appropriate government authority; provided expressly that the Grantee agrees to honor the confidentiality obligations in this Agreement and will only share Confidential and Proprietary Information with the Grantee’s lawyer or with the government agency or entity. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to permit or condone unlawful conduct, including but not limited to the theft or misappropriation of Company property, trade secrets or information. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation: The following provisions replace Section 6 of the Agreement in its entirety: 6A. Non-Solicitation. In consideration of the promises contained herein and the Grantee’s access and exposure to Confidential and Proprietary Information provided to the Grantee, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Grantee agrees that during the Grantee’s Service and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of Service due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the final Vesting Date (in each case, except with respect to Sub-Section 6A(g), which restrictions apply in perpetuity), the Grantee shall not, on behalf of the Grantee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, entity or organization other than the Company, whether as an agent or otherwise: (a) Contact, call on, and/or solicit, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company with whom the Grantee directly performed any services or had any direct business contact for any purpose which is in competition, in whole or in part, with the Business (as defined at Sub-Section 6B); (b) Take away any business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company with whom the Grantee directly performed any services or had any direct business contact; (c) Contact, call on, and/or solicit, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company whose entity- or other customer-specific information the Grantee discovered or gained access to as a result of the Grantee’s access to Company Confidential and Proprietary Information, for any purpose which is in competition, in whole or in part, with the Business; (d) Take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company whose entity- or other customer-specific information the Grantee discovered or gained access to as a result of the Grantee’s access to Company Confidential and Proprietary Information; (e) Utilize the Company Group’s Confidential and Proprietary Information to solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence,

shall not discuss the Company Group with any such Potential Adverse Party without prior written approval from the CLO. 6B. Non-Competition. In consideration of the promises contained herein and the Grantee’s access and exposure to Confidential and Proprietary Information provided to the Grantee, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Grantee agrees that during the Grantee’s Service and (1) with respect to all Grantees based in Ontario, continuing thereafter until (Y) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service or (Z) in the event of a termination due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the final Vesting Date, in each case if the Grantee was classified by the Company in its human resources information system of record as being in an executive role (i.e. chief executive officer, president, chief administrative officer, chief operating officer, chief financial officer, chief information officer, chief legal officer, chief human resources officer or chief corporate development officer, or holds any other chief executive position) as of the Grantee’s last day of Service with the Company or (2) with respect to all other Grantees, (i) (Y) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service or (Z) in the event of termination due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the final Vesting Date, in each case if the Grantee was classified by the Company in its human resources information system of record as being in a Director-level role or above (e.g., Director, VP, SVP, CEO, etc.) as of the Grantee’s last day of Service with the Company, or (ii) (Y) six (6) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service with the Company or (Z) in the event of termination due to Retirement, six (6) months following the final Vesting Date, in each case if the Grantee was classified by the Company in its human resources information system of record as being in a role below Director-level (e.g., Manager, Team Lead, Individual Contributor, etc.) as of the Grantee’s last day of Service, the Grantee shall not, on behalf of the Grantee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, entity or organization other than the Company Group, whether as an agent or otherwise, become employed by, render services to or directly or indirectly (whether for compensation or otherwise, and whether as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, lender, investor, corporate officer, board member, director, or in any other individual or representative capacity), own or hold a proprietary interest in, manage, operate, or control, or join or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or furnish any capital to or be connected in any manner with, any Competing Enterprise in the Restricted Area. For purposes of this Section, a “Competing Enterprise” means any entity, organization or person engaged, or planning to become engaged, in substantially the same or similar business to that being conducted or actively and specifically planned to be conducted during the Grantee’s Service with the Company or within six (6) months after the Grantee’s termination of Service. It includes, without limitation: (i) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being involved in providing any products or services relating to transaction or payment processing, including those for the benefit of fleets; travel; healthcare; education; payroll; or, benefits through charge cards, credit cards, procurement cards or any other form of payment services or electronic commerce; (ii) the sale, distribution or publication of petroleum product pricing or management information or other products or services currently sold or to the best of the Grantee’s knowledge contemplated to be sold by any member of the Company Group, and (iii) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being involved in providing commercial travel, entertainment and purchasing credit cards (collectively the “Business”). For purposes of this Section, the “Restricted Area” is


 
Canada. The restrictions in this Section shall not be construed to prevent the Grantee from, following the termination of the Grantee’s Service, working for a business entity that does not compete with the Business simply because the entity is affiliated with a Competing Enterprise, so long as the entity is operationally separate and distinct from the Competing Enterprise and the Grantee’s job responsibilities at that entity are unrelated to the Competing Enterprise. The restrictions in this Section will not apply to employment by or the rendering of services to businesses that sell fuel or convenience items if those businesses are not directly competing with any member of the Company Group. The restrictions in this Section shall also not be deemed to prohibit the Grantee from owning not more than one percent (1%) of the total shares of all classes of stock of any publicly held company. 6C. Additional Provisions. The Company Group has previously entered into agreements with certain executives and employees that contain restrictive covenants (“Restrictions”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee is party to an employment or other agreement containing Restrictions on (a) confidentiality, (b) solicitation of customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group, (c) solicitation or hire of the employees of any member of the Company Group, and/or (d) competition (collectively, “Existing Restrictions”), any such Existing Restrictions will remain in effect and the Grantee shall remain bound by such Existing Restrictions. To the extent the restrictions contained in Section 5, Sub-Section 6A, Sub-Section 6B or Sub-Section 6C of this Agreement conflict in any way with any Existing Restriction(s), such conflict shall be resolved by giving effect to the provision that provides the greatest protection to the Company Group that is enforceable under applicable law. The Grantee agrees and acknowledges that the period of time, geographical scope, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this Agreement are fair, and reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company Group. The Grantee also acknowledges that in the event the Grantee breaches any part of Section 5, Sub-Section 6A, Sub-Section 6B or Sub-Section 6C of this Agreement, the damages to the Company Group would be irreparable. Therefore, in addition to monetary damages and/or reasonable legal fees, the Company Group shall have the right to seek injunctive and/or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement. Further, the Grantee consents to the issuance of a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of any proceeding. The Grantee further understands and agrees that if the Grantee breaches any covenant set forth in Sub-Sections 6A or 6B, the duration of any covenant so breached shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, automatically be tolled from the date of the first breach until the date judicial relief providing effective remedy for such breach or breaches is obtained by the Company Group, or until the Company Group states in writing that it will seek no judicial relief for such breach. If any one or more provisions of Section 5, Sub-Section 6A, Sub-Section 6B or Sub-Section 6C shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to time, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed, by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the greatest extent compatible with applicable law as it shall then appear, and the parties expressly agree that any of the provisions of Section 5, Sub-Section 6A, Sub-Section 6B or Sub-Section 6C may be reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled to make such provision enforceable, to the


 
fullest extent permitted by law, and the parties consent to the enforcement of such provision as so reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled. The Grantee agrees, subject to applicable law, during (i) the twelve (12) month period following the termination of the Grantee’s Service, or (ii) in the event of a termination of the Grantee’s Service due to Retirement, the twelve (12) month period following the final Vesting Date, to disclose to the Company Group, in writing, any person or entity with whom the Grantee becomes employed, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated, the Grantee’s date of hire or engagement, the Grantee’s job title, and a complete description of the Grantee’s duties. The Grantee agrees to make such disclosure to the Company Group no later than the date on which the Grantee accepts or otherwise agrees to become employed by, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated with such person or entity. During the Grantee’s Service and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service, or (ii) in the event of a termination of the Grantee’s Service due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the final Vesting Date, the Grantee will provide any person or entity that the Grantee seeks an offer of employment or other engagement or retention from notice of the existence of this Agreement and the terms of Sections 5 and 6 before requesting or accepting such an offer. If the Grantee fails to provide such notice, the Grantee understands that the Grantee may be held liable for any consequential damages resulting from such failure. The Grantee agrees that the Company Group may send a copy of this Agreement to, or otherwise make the provisions of Sections 5 or 6of this Agreement known to, any of the Grantee’s potential and future employers or other entity considering engaging the Grantee or which has engaged or employed the Grantee. The Grantee agrees not to assert any claim that such conduct by the Company Group is legally actionable interference or otherwise impermissible regardless of whether or not the provisions of Sections 5 or 6are later found to be enforceable in whole or in part. Mindful of the obligations set forth in Section 5, Sub-Section 6A, Sub-Section 6B and Sub- Section 6C, upon termination of the Grantee’s Service, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company Group. Governing Law: The following provision replaces Section 10 of the Agreement in its entirety: 10) Governing Law. This Agreement and the legal relations between the parties shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the province in which the Grantee performs the majority of the Grantee’s work for the Company and the federal laws of Canada applicable in that province.

As a condition to the granting of the Award and the vesting thereof, the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee is responsible for the payment of income and employment taxes (and any other taxes required to be withheld) payable in connection with the vesting and settlement of an Award. Accordingly, the Grantee agrees to remit to the Company or any applicable subsidiary an amount sufficient to pay such taxes. Such


 
payment shall be made to the Company or the applicable subsidiary of the Company in a form that is reasonably acceptable to the Company, as the Company may determine in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may retain and withhold from delivery at the time of vesting that number of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal to the taxes owed by the Grantee, which retained shares shall fund the payment of such taxes by the Company on behalf of the Grantee. Voluntary Participation: 26) Voluntary Participation. By accepting this Award of securities, the Grantee represents and warrants to the Company that the Grantee’s participation in the trade and acceptance of such securities is voluntary and that the Grantee has not been induced to participate by expectation of engagement, appointment, employment or continued engagement, appointment or employment, as applicable. 27) French Language Documents for Quebec-based Grantees.

However, upon request, the Company will provide a translation of such information into French as soon as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, and unless the Grantee indicates otherwise, the Agreement and other documents related to the Award in the language chosen and signed by the Grantee will govern the Award and the Grantee's participation in the Plan. Imposition of Other Requirements: 28) Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, on the Award and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

In the event that any of the restrictions shall be held to be void or ineffective but would be valid and effective if some part of the wording thereof were deleted such restriction shall apply with such modification as may be necessary to make it valid and effective. If such a deletion applies to a definition, such deletion shall not apply to any other restriction, so that each definition is deemed to be repeated each time it is used. If any one or more provisions of Sections 5 or 6shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to time, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed, by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the greatest extent compatible with applicable law as it shall then appear, and the parties expressly agree that any of the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 may be reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled to make such provision enforceable, to the fullest extent permitted


 
by law, and the parties consent to the enforcement of such provision as so reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled. 6.2.7 The Grantee agrees to provide a copy of this Agreement to any employer or other person to whom or with whom the Grantee is intending to provide services within the Restricted Period before entering into any contractually binding agreement to perform such services. 6.2.8 Subject to any requirements under the General Data Protection Regulations, immediately after agreeing to provide services to any person during the Restricted Period, the Grantee will notify the Company of the identity of that person. 6.2.9 Upon termination of the Grantee’s employment, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company as a reminder and ratification of the Grantee undertaking to comply with the Grantee obligations under this agreement. 6.2.10 The Grantee acknowledges that the period of time, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this Agreement are fair, reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company and any Group Company. Tax Obligations: The following provisions replace Section 8 of the Agreement in its entirety: 8) Tax Obligations. a) As a condition to the granting of the Award and the vesting thereof, the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee is responsible for the payment of income and employment taxes (and any other taxes or contributions whatsoever, including social security contributions) payable in connection with the vesting of an Award. Accordingly, the Grantee agrees to remit to the Company or any applicable subsidiary an amount sufficient to pay such taxes required to be withheld by the Company. Such payment shall be made to the Company or the applicable subsidiary of the Company in a form that is reasonably acceptable to the Company, as the Company may determine in its sole discretion. b) Notwithstanding Sub-Section 8)a), the Company will retain and withhold from delivery at the time of vesting that number of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal to any taxes or contributions required to be withheld by the Company from the Grantee, which retained shares shall fund the payment of such taxes or contributions by the Company or any company or entity of the WEX Group on behalf of the Grantee. Section 8 shall be without prejudice to the applicable tax and social security obligations under German law applying to the Company or any Group Company.

The Grantee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously, and in its sole discretion decided to grant the Award under the Plan to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not bind the Company or any subsidiary, other than to the extent set forth in this Agreement.

In addition, the Grantee understands that this grant would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Grantee acknowledges and freely accepts that, should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant of or right to the Award shall be null and void. Further, the Grantee understands that he or she will not be entitled to continue vesting in any Award upon cessation of the Grantee’s employment or service, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

The Grantee agrees to execute any such documents as may be required to effectuate said benefit. 6B.5. Each of the restrictions contained in this Sub-Section 6B, each definition set out in Sub-Section 6A, each limb of such definition and each operative word within each Sub-Section or definition is intended to be an entirely separate, severable and independent restriction, notwithstanding that they are combined together for the sake of brevity, and the Grantee agrees not to advance any argument to the contrary. In the event that any of the restrictions shall be held to be void or ineffective but would be valid and effective if some part of the wording thereof were deleted such restriction


 
shall apply with such modification as may be necessary to make it valid and effective. If such a deletion applies to a definition, such deletion shall not apply to any other restriction, so that each definition is deemed to be repeated each time it is used. 6B.6.

The Grantee agrees and acknowledges that the period of time, geographical scope, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this Agreement are fair, and reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Employer and Group Company. No Rights to Continued Service: The following provisions replace Section 9 of the Agreement in its entirety: 9) No Rights to Continued Service. a) Neither this Agreement nor the Award shall be construed as giving the Grantee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate such employment. b) The grant of Awards under the Plan is made at the discretion of the Company and the Plan may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time. The grant of an Award in one (1) year or at one time does not in any way entitle the Grantee to an Award in the future. The Plan is wholly discretionary and is not to be considered part of the Grantee's normal or expected compensation subject to severance, resignation, redundancy or similar compensation. The value of the Award is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of the Grantee's employment contract (if any). c) The rights and obligations of the Grantee under the terms of the Grantee’s office or employment with the Grantee’s employing entity, any past or present subsidiary, or associated or affiliate company of the Company shall not be affected by the Grantee’s participation in the Plan or the grant of this Award or any right which the Grantee may have to participate therein, and the Grantee hereby waives all and any rights to compensation or damages in consequence of the termination of the Grantee’s office or employment with any such company for any reasons whatsoever (whether lawful or unlawful and including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, in circumstances giving rise to a claim for wrongful dismissal) insofar as those rights arise or may arise from the Grantee’s ceasing to have rights under the Plan or being entitled to this Award as a result of such termination, or from the loss or diminution in value of such rights or entitlements.


 
Governing Law: The following provisions replace Section 10 of the Agreement in its entirety: 10) Governing Law. Save for taxation, which shall be governed by the laws of Ireland, this Agreement and the legal relations between the parties shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. Tax Obligations: The following provisions replace Section 8 of the Agreement in its entirety: 8) Tax Obligations. Regardless of any action the Company or the subsidiary that employs the Grantee (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account, or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items owed by the Grantee is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and that such amount may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or the Employer. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock, and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (ii) does not commit and is under no obligation to take any action or structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Grantee becomes subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former Employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. Prior to vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the Grantee shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all withholding obligations of the Company. In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Grantee (i) from proceeds of the sale of the shares of Common Stock, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Grantee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); and/or (ii) by the Company retaining a portion of the vested Restricted Stock Units to be settled. Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case the Grantee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Common Stock equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Common Stock, for tax purposes, the Grantee is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of shares are held back solely for purposes of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.


 
Finally, the Grantee shall pay to the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold as a result of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue and deliver shares of Common Stock in payment of any earned and vested Restricted Stock Units if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this Section 10. The following provisions replace Section 14 of the Agreement in its entirety: Nature of Award: 14) Nature of Award. By entering into this Agreement and accepting the grant of Restricted Stock Units evidenced hereby, the Grantee acknowledges, understands, and agrees that: a) the Grantee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; b) this Award is made solely by the Company, and the Company is solely responsible for the administration of the Plan and the Grantee’s participation in the Plan; c) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, is discretionary in nature, and may be terminated by the Company at any time, except as otherwise set forth in the Plan; d) the grant of Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if such awards have been awarded in the past; e) all decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; f) this Award and the underlying shares of Common Stock, and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; g) this Award and the underlying shares of Common Stock, and the income from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any vacation, severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, or end-of-service payments; bonuses; long-service awards; pension, retirement, or welfare benefits; or similar payments; h) unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Restricted Stock Units and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Restricted Stock Units or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out, or substituted, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Common Stock;

If the Grantee does not consent, or if the Grantee later withdraws his or her consent, the Grantee may be unable to participate in the Plan. This will not affect the Grantee’s existing employment or salary; instead, the Grantee merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan. f) Data Subjects Rights.

In case of non-fulfillment of the information obligations aforementioned, the Grantee shall pay to the Company a penalty equal to EUR 500,00 (five hundred/00), for each day of delay. While the Grantee is employed with the Company, during any period between Retirement and the final Vesting Date (if applicable) and during the Restricted Period, the Grantee will provide any person or entity that the Grantee seeks an offer of employment or other engagement or retention from notice of the existence of this Agreement and the terms of Sections 5 and 6 before requesting or accepting such an offer. If the Grantee fails to provide such notice, the Grantee understands that the Grantee may be held liable for any consequential damages resulting from such failure. The Grantee agrees that the Company may send a copy of this Agreement to, or otherwise make the provisions of Sections 5 or 6of this Agreement known to, any of the Grantee’s potential and future employers or other entity considering engaging the Grantee or which has engaged or employed the Grantee during the mentioned periods. The Grantee agrees not to assert any claim that such conduct by the Company is legally actionable interference or otherwise impermissible regardless of whether or not the provisions of Sections 5 or 6are later found to be enforceable in whole or in part. With respect to the obligations pointed out in this covenant, and as consideration for such undertakings, the Company will pay to the Grantee, on the date of termination of the relationship, for any reason whatsoever, an amount equal to thirty percent (30%) of the last gross annual salary. The Grantee irrevocably acknowledges that the above compensation for the non-competition covenant is fair and that the non-competition covenant is limited as to its purpose so that the Grantee shall be able to find an alternative job during the validity of such non-competition agreement and to exercise in full the Grantee’s professional skills. In the event of breach of this non-competition covenant, the Grantee shall pay, also as a penalty, an amount of money equal to the double of the amount agreed as compensation of the


 
non-competition agreement, even if not cashed yet, any claim to obtain further compensation for damages suffered by the Company being freely operable. The payment of the penalty and/or of the compensation for further damages shall not cause the termination of this undertaking, which shall anyway preserve its validity until its natural expiry date. The Parties undertake not to ask for the reduction of the penalties, as provided for by section 1348 of the Italian Civil Code, remuneration, compensations mentioned in this Agreement that were agreed having considered the mutual financial interests. The potential invalidity and/or unlawfulness of one or more clauses of this covenant shall not entail the resolution or the voidability of the same; however, in every case of resolution or voidability or invalidity of this covenant, the Grantee shall be irrevocably obliged to the total restitution of the amount received under this covenant. Tax Obligations: The following provisions replace Section 8 of the Agreement in its entirety: 8) Tax Obligations. Regardless of any action the Company or the subsidiary that employs the Grantee (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account, or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax- Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items owed by the Grantee is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and that such amount may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or the Employer. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock, and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (ii) does not commit and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Grantee becomes subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former Employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. Prior to vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the Grantee shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all withholding obligations of the Company. In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company to withhold all applicable Tax- Related Items legally payable by the Grantee (i) from proceeds of the sale of the shares of Common Stock, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Grantee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); and/or (ii) by the Company retaining a portion of the vested Restricted Stock Units to be settled. Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related


 
Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case the Grantee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Common Stock equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Common Stock, for tax purposes, the Grantee is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of shares are held back solely for purposes of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan. Finally, the Grantee shall pay to the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold as a result of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue and deliver shares of Common Stock in payment of any earned and vested Restricted Stock Units if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this Section 8.

For the purposes of this restriction, acts done by the Grantee outside the Restricted Area shall nonetheless be deemed to be done within the Restricted Area where their primary purpose is to distribute, sell, supply or otherwise deal with Restricted Goods or Restricted Services in the Restricted Area. 6B.2 Subject to the reporting of possible violations of the securities laws to the Dutch supervisory authority, the Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA), and except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise explicitly directed in writing by an officer of the Company, directly or through others, the Grantee agrees to keep confidential and not: (a) provide any confidential information, including any information derived from the Grantee’s experience with the Company, to (i) any competitor of the Company, (ii) any person the Grantee knows or has reason to believe may be an investor or prospective investor in the Company, (iii) a member of the media, (iv) any prospective acquirer of the Company, (v) any litigant or potential litigant against the Company, (vi) any other person seeking information regarding the Company (including, without limitation, information with respect to its business, executives, directors, balance sheet, history, prospects or opportunities) or seeking to change or influence the control of the Company, or (vii) any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing (any such person described in clauses (i) to (vii), a “Potential Adverse Party”); (b) make, publicly or privately, any statements that disparage, or could otherwise cause harm to, the business or reputation of the Company and/or any current or former officer, director or employee of the Company; (c) join a “group” or become a “participant” in a solicitation with respect to the Company (other than a solicitation by the Board of Directors), as those terms are defined in applicable securities laws; and (d) aid, encourage, advise or otherwise provide assistance to any Potential Adverse Party in (i) asserting, prosecuting or defending any claim, action or proceeding against the Company, (ii) undertaking a proxy contest, withhold campaign or other shareholder activism campaign or proxy solicitation against the Company, (iii) proposing to acquire the Company or any of its assets or subsidiaries or (iv) making any other demands of the Company. If the Grantee is contacted by any Potential Adverse Party, the Grantee shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Company’s Chief Legal Officer (the “CLO”), and shall not discuss the Company with any such Potential Adverse Party without prior written approval from the CLO. For the avoidance of doubt, the Restricted Period will not apply to this Sub-Section 6B.2, it being understood that the Grantee’s obligations will continue in perpetuity.


 
6B.3 The Employer has previously entered into agreements with certain executives and employees that contain restrictive covenants (“Restrictions”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee is party to an employment or other agreement containing Restrictions on (a) confidentiality, (b) solicitation of customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Employer, (c) solicitation or hire of employees of the Employer, and/or (d) competition (collectively, “Existing Restrictions”), any such Existing Restrictions will remain in effect and the Grantee shall remain bound by such Existing Restrictions. To the extent the restrictions contained in Section 5 or Sub-Section 6B of this Agreement conflict in any way with any Existing Restriction(s), such conflict shall be resolved by giving effect to restrictions in this Agreement. 6B.4 The Grantee hereby agrees that the Grantee will at the request and cost of the Employer enter into a direct agreement or undertaking with any Group Company whereby the Grantee will accept restrictions and provisions corresponding to the restrictions and provisions in this Sub-Section 6B (or such of them as may be appropriate in the circumstances) in relation to such activities and such area and for such a period as such Group Company may reasonably require for the protection of its legitimate business interests. 6B.5 If the Grantee’s employment transfers by operation of law to a third party (the “Transferee”), this Sub-Section 6B shall with effect from that transfer of employment apply to the Grantee as if references to the Employer included the Transferee and references to any Group Company were construed accordingly, and as if the references to defined terms in respect of the Employer and any Group Company including but not limited to "Customer", "Prospective Customer" and "Critical Employee", applied to the customers, prospective customers and critical employees of the Transferee and their respective Group Companies. The Grantee agrees to execute any such documents as may be required to effectuate said benefit. 6B.6 Each of the restrictions contained in this Sub-Section 5B, each definition set out in Sub-Section 5A, each limb of such definition and each operative word within each Sub-Section or definition is intended to be an entirely separate, severable and independent restriction, notwithstanding that they are combined together for the sake of brevity, and the Grantee agrees not to advance any argument to the contrary. In the event that any of the restrictions shall be held to be void or ineffective but would be valid and effective if some part of the wording thereof were deleted such restriction shall apply with such modification as may be necessary to make it valid and effective. If such a deletion applies to a definition, such deletion shall not apply to any other restriction, so that each definition is deemed to be repeated each time it is used. 6B.7 The Grantee agrees, during any period between Retirement and the final Vesting Date (if applicable) and during the Restrictive Period, to disclose to the Company, in writing, any person or entity with whom the Grantee becomes employed, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated, the Grantee’s date of hire or engagement, the Grantee’s job title, and a complete description of the Grantee’s duties. The Grantee agrees to make such disclosure to the Company no later than the date on which the Grantee accepts or otherwise agrees to become employed by, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated with such person or entity.


 
6B.8 While the Grantee is employed with the Company, during any period between Retirement and the final Vesting Date (if applicable) and during the Restricted Period, the Grantee will provide any person or entity that the Grantee seeks an offer of employment or other engagement or retention from notice of the existence of this Agreement and the terms of Sections 5 and 6 before requesting or accepting such an offer. If the Grantee fails to provide such notice, the Grantee understands that the Grantee may be held liable for any consequential damages resulting from such failure. The Grantee agrees that the Company may send a copy of this Agreement to, or otherwise make the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement known to, any of the Grantee’s potential and future employers or other entity considering engaging the Grantee or which has engaged or employed the Grantee. The Grantee agrees not to assert any claim that such conduct by the Company is legally actionable interference or otherwise impermissible regardless of whether or not the provisions of Sections 5 or 6are later found to be enforceable in whole or in part. 6B.9 Mindful of the obligations set forth in Section 5, Sub-Section 5A and Sub-Section 5B, upon termination of the Grantee’s employment, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company. No Rights to Continued Service: The following provisions replace Section 9 of the Agreement in its entirety: 8. No Rights to Continued Service. (a) Neither this Agreement nor the Award shall be construed as giving the Grantee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate such employment. (b) The grant of Awards under the Plan is made at the discretion of the Company and the Plan may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time. The grant of an Award in one (1) year or at one time does not in any way entitle the Grantee to an Award in the future. The Plan is wholly discretionary and is not to be considered part of the Grantee's normal or expected compensation subject to severance, resignation, redundancy or similar compensation. The value of the Award is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of the Grantee's employment contract (if any). (c) The rights and obligations of the Grantee under the terms of the Grantee’s office or employment with the Grantee’s employing entity, any past or present subsidiary, or associated or affiliate company of the Company shall not be affected by the Grantee’s participation in the Plan or the grant of this Award or any right which the Grantee may have to participate therein, and the Grantee hereby waives all and any rights to compensation or damages in consequence of the termination of the Grantee’s office or employment with any such company for any reasons whatsoever (whether lawful or unlawful and including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, in circumstances giving rise to a claim for wrongful dismissal) insofar as those rights arise or may arise from the


 
Grantee’s ceasing to have rights under the Plan or being entitled to this Award as a result of such termination, or from the loss or diminution in value of such rights or entitlements. Governing Law: The following provisions replace Section 10 of the Agreement in its entirety: 10) Governing Law. Save for taxation, which shall be governed by the law of the Netherlands, this Agreement and the legal relations between the parties shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. Tax Obligations: The following provisions replace Sections 8 and 13 of the Agreement in their entirety: 8) Tax Obligations. As a condition to the granting of the Award and the vesting thereof, the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee is responsible for the payment of applicable Dutch wage taxes, social security premiums and any other taxes required to be withheld payable in connection with the vesting of an Award. Accordingly, the Grantee agrees to remit to the Company or any applicable subsidiary an amount sufficient to pay such taxes. Such payment shall be made to the Company or the applicable subsidiary of the Company in a form that is reasonably acceptable to the Company, as the Company may determine in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may retain and withhold from delivery at the time of vesting that number of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal to the taxes owed by the Grantee, which retained shares shall fund the payment of such taxes by the Company on behalf of the Grantee. Further to the above, the Grantee agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Employer and all Group Companies in respect of any income tax and National Insurance liability which fails to be paid to the Dutch tax authorities by the Company or the Employer in connection with the grant, vesting or cancellation of the Award or the acquisition or other dealing in the shares of Common Stock acquired. Severability: Section 20 of the Agreement does not apply. Insider Trading Restrictions: 26) Insider Trading Restrictions. a) By accepting the Restricted Stock Units and participating in the Plan, the Grantee acknowledges that Grantee is subject to insider trading restrictions, which may affect the Grantee’s ability to acquire or sell shares of Common Stock under the Plan during such times as the Grantee is considered to have “inside information”. b) More specific, under Article 14 of the Market Abuse Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on market abuse) and the Financial Supervision Act, anyone who has “inside information” related to an issuing company is prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in or from the Netherlands. “Inside information” is defined as knowledge of details concerning the issuing company to


 
which the securities relate, which is not public and which, if published, would reasonably be expected to affect the stock price, regardless of the development of the price. c) Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. d) The Grantee acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and the Grantee is advised to speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter. Data Privacy: 27) Data Privacy. a) The Company, in its capacity as Controller, grants Awards under the Plan to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries in its sole discretion. In conjunction with the Company’s grant of the Award under the Plan and its ongoing administration of such awards, the Company collects, uses and otherwise processes (“Process (es)(ing)”) the Grantee’s personal data (“Personal Data”), including the Grantee’s name, home address, email address, and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any shares of Common Stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Awards or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor, which the Company receives from the Grantee or the Employer. b) Data Collection, Processing and Usage. In granting the Award under the Plan, the Company will Process the Grantee’s Personal Data for purposes of allocating shares of Common Stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis, where required, for the Processing of the Grantee’s Personal Data is the necessity for the Company to (i) perform its contractual obligations under this Agreement, (ii) comply with legal obligations established in the European Union, European Economic Area, and the United Kingdom (“EEA+”), and/or (iii) pursue the legitimate interest of complying with legal obligations established outside of the EEA+. c) Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. The Company transfers the Grantee’s Personal Data to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and its affiliates, independent service providers based in the United States, which assist the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan (the “Service Provider”). In the future, the Company may select a different Service Provider and share the Grantee’s Personal Data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Service Provider will open an account for the Grantee to receive and trade shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan. The Grantee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Service Provider, which is a condition to the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan. d) International Data Transfers. The Company and the Service Provider are based in the United States. The Grantee should note that the Grantee’s country of residence may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. In order to protect the Grantee’s privacy, where Personal Data are transferred by or on behalf of the Company to other countries or organizations that have not been recognized as providing regulatory protection similar to the Grantee’s country, the Company contractually obliges its international entities,


 
affiliates and service providers to comply with the applicable data protection laws and principles through standard clauses that have been approved or recognized by the relevant regulators. The Company also relies on the Grantee’s consent per this Agreement as the legal basis for the transfer of the Grantee’s Personal Data to the United States is the Grantee’s consent. e) Voluntariness and Consequences of Failure to Perform Under the Agreement, Consent Denial or Consent Withdrawal. The Grantee’s participation in the Plan and his or her performance under this Agreement, including agreeing to the Processing of the necessary Personal Data is purely voluntary. The Grantee may end his or her participation in the Plan, terminate this Agreement or deny or withdraw his or her consent to the transfer of his or her Personal Data at any time. If the Grantee does not consent, or if the Grantee later withdraws his or her consent, the Grantee may be unable to participate in the Plan. This will not affect the Grantee’s existing employment or salary; instead, the Grantee merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan. f) Data Subjects Rights. The Grantee may have a number of rights under the data privacy laws in the Grantee’s country of residence. For example, the Grantee’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of Personal Data the Company Processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect Personal Data, (iii) request deletion of Personal Data, (iv) place restrictions on Processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent privacy or data protection authorities in the Grantee’s country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Grantee’s Personal Data. To receive clarification regarding the Grantee’s rights or to exercise his or her rights, the Grantee should refer to the relevant privacy policy available at https://www.wexinc.com/workday/legal-notices/ and contact his or her local human resources department. g) Personal Data Retention. The Company and its Service Provider will retain the Grantee’s Personal Data no longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was processed for the duration of this Agreement, unless a longer period is required to comply with applicable laws. Retention periods may vary depending on i) purpose for which the Personal Data was collected and used, which may differ depending on the nature of the Personal Data and the activities involved, ii) the length of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, or iii) whether there are legal obligations to which either the Company or the Grantee are subject. h) For more information on how the Company processes the Grantee’s Personal Data, please refer to the relevant privacy policy available at https://www.wexinc.com/workday/legal-notices/. Language: 28) Language. The Grantee warrants and represents that the Grantee is fluent in English and fully and unmistakably understands the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If the Grantee has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version differs from the English version, the English version shall control. Imposition of Other Requirements: 29) Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, on the Award and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or


 
advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. Additional Acknowledgements and Authorizations: 30) Additional Acknowledgements and Authorizations. By accepting the Award, the Grantee acknowledges, understands and agrees that: a) the future value of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Award is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty; b) neither the Company, the Employer, nor any other subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Grantee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Award, any payment made pursuant to the Award, or the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan; and c) the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding participation in the Plan or the acquisition or sale of the shares of Common Stock. The Grantee should consult with his or her personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. New Zealand Warning This is an offer of Restricted Stock Units in WEX Inc. Upon their vesting (as further set out in this document) as Common Stock, Common Stock gives you a stake in the ownership of WEX Inc. You may receive a return on Common Stock if dividends are paid. If WEX Inc. runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, you will be paid only after all creditors and holders of preference shares have been paid. You may lose some or all of your investment. New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors to make an informed decision. The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share purchase scheme. As a result, you may not be given all the information usually required. You will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment. Ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing yourself. The Restricted Stock Units themselves are not quoted and are not transferable. You are not able to sell Restricted Stock Units. However, upon vesting in accordance with these terms, the Restricted Stock Units will be vested as shares of Common Stock. Common Stock is quoted on the New York Stock Exchange. This means you may be able to sell your vested Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange if there are interested buyers. You may get less than you invested. The price will depend on the demand for the Common Stock.


 
Confidential and Proprietary Information: The following provisions replace Section 5 of the Agreement in its entirety: 5. Confidential and Proprietary Information. The Grantee acknowledges that in connection with the Grantee’s Company Group Service, the Grantee is placed in a position of confidence and trust with the Company, and in line with that position has and will continue to have access to information of a nature not generally disclosed to the public. The Grantee agrees to keep confidential and not: (i) use or (ii) disclose to anyone any Confidential and Proprietary Information, except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company, as required by law or as authorized by the Board of Directors. “Confidential and Proprietary Information” includes but is not limited to all Company Group trade secrets, business and strategic plans, financial details, computer programs, manuals, contracts, current and prospective client and supplier lists, and all other documentation, business knowledge, data, material, property and supplier lists, and developments owned, possessed or controlled by the Company Group, regardless of whether possessed or developed by the Grantee in the course of the Grantee’s employment. Such Confidential and Proprietary Information may or may not be designated as confidential or proprietary and may be oral, written or electronic media. The Grantee understands that such information is owned and shall continue to be owned solely by the Company, and hereby represents that the Grantee has not and will not disclose, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any Confidential and Proprietary Information. The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee has complied and will continue to comply with this commitment, both as an employee and after the termination of the Grantee’s employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential and Proprietary Information does not include any information that: (1) is already in the public domain or becomes available to the public through no breach by the Grantee of this Agreement; (2) was lawfully in the Grantee’s possession prior to disclosure to the Grantee by the Company Group; (3) is lawfully disclosed to the Grantee by a third party (other than the Company, or any of its representatives, agents or employees) without any obligations of confidentiality attaching to such disclosure; or (4) is developed by the Grantee entirely on the Grantee’s own time without the Company Group’s equipment, supplies or facilities and does not relate at the time of conception to the Company’s (and/or its subsidiaries’) business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development. Information shall not be deemed to be in the public domain merely because any part of said information is embodied in general disclosures or because individual features, components, or combinations thereof are now or become known to the public or are in the public domain. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation: The following provisions replace Section 6 of the Agreement in its entirety: 6. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. In consideration of the promises contained herein and the Grantee’s access and exposure to Confidential and Proprietary Information provided to the Grantee, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Grantee agrees that during the Grantee’s Service and for the Restraint Period following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason, the Grantee shall not, on behalf of the Grantee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, entity or organization other than the Company, whether as an agent or otherwise:


 
(a) Contact, provide advice to, solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group, where such prospective customers, clients and/or patrons were in negotiations with the Company, and with whom the Grantee directly performed any services or had direct business dealings; (b) Contact, provide advice to, solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group, where such prospective customers, clients and/or patrons were in negotiations with the Company, whose entity- or other customer-specific information the Grantee had access to and contact with as a result of the Grantee’s access to Company Confidential and Proprietary Information; (c) Solicit or induce, either directly or indirectly, any employee of the Company Group, with whom the Grantee had a business relationship and/or dealings, to leave the employ of the Company Group or become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than the Company Group; or take any action to assist any subsequent employer or any other person, entity or organization, either directly or indirectly, in soliciting or inducing any Company employee to leave the employ of the Company Group become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than the Company Group; or hire or employ, or assist in the hiring or employment of, either directly or indirectly, any individual employed by the Company Group; (d) In the Restraint Area, become employed by, render services to or directly or indirectly (whether for compensation or otherwise, and whether as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, lender, investor, corporate officer, board member, director, or in any other individual or representative capacity) own or hold a proprietary interest in, manage, operate, or control, or join or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or furnish any capital to or be connected in any manner with, any Competing Enterprise. For purposes of this Sub-Section 6.(d), a “Competing Enterprise” means any entity, organization or person engaged, or planning to become engaged, in substantially the same or similar business to that being conducted or actively and specifically planned to be conducted during the Grantee’s employment with the Company, or its subsidiaries, and of which the Grantee was aware. It includes, without limitation: (i) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being involved in providing any products or services relating to transaction or payment processing, including those for the benefit of fleets; travel; healthcare; education; payroll; or, benefits through charge cards, credit cards, procurement cards or any other form of payment services or electronic commerce; (ii) the sale, distribution or publication of petroleum product pricing or management information or other products or services currently sold or to the best of the Grantee’s knowledge contemplated to be sold by the Company or any of its owned or controlled subsidiaries, and (iii) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being


 
involved in providing commercial travel, entertainment and purchasing credit cards. Furthermore, the restrictions in this Section shall not be construed to prevent the Grantee from, following the termination of the Grantee’s Company Group Service, working for a business entity that does not compete with the Company or its subsidiaries simply because the entity is affiliated with a Competing Enterprise, so long as the entity is operationally separate and distinct from the Competing Enterprise and the Grantee’s job responsibilities at that entity are unrelated to the Competing Enterprise. The restrictions in this Section will not apply to employment by or the rendering of services to businesses that sell fuel or convenience items if those businesses are not directly competing with the Company or its subsidiaries, owned or controlled. The restrictions in this Section shall also not be deemed to prohibit the Grantee from owning not more than one percent (1%) of the total shares of all classes of stock of any publicly held company; and/or (e) Subject to Section 5, and except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise explicitly directed in writing by an officer of the Company, directly or through others: (a) provide any confidential information, including any information derived from the Grantee’s experience with the Company, to (i) any competitor of the Company, (ii) any person the Grantee knows or has reason to believe may be an investor or prospective investor in the Company, (iii) a member of the media, (iv) any prospective acquirer of the Company, (v) any litigant or potential litigant against the Company, (vi) any other person seeking information regarding the Company (including, without limitation, information with respect to its business, executives, directors, balance sheet, history, prospects or opportunities) or seeking to change or influence the control of the Company, or (vii) any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing (any such person described in clauses (i) to (vii), a “Potential Adverse Party”); (b) make, publicly or privately, any statements that disparage, or could otherwise cause harm to, the business or reputation of the Company and/or any current or former officer, director or employee of the Company; (c) join a “group” or become a “participant” in a solicitation with respect to the Company (other than a solicitation by the Board of Directors), as those terms are defined in applicable securities laws; and (d) to the extent permitted by law, aid, encourage, advise or otherwise provide assistance to any Potential Adverse Party in (i) asserting, prosecuting or defending any claim, action or proceeding against the Company, (ii) undertaking a proxy contest, withhold campaign or other shareholder activism campaign or proxy solicitation against the Company, (iii) proposing to acquire the Company or any of its assets or subsidiaries or (iv) making any other demands of the Company. If the Grantee is contacted by any Potential Adverse Party, the Grantee shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Company’s Chief Legal Officer (the “CLO”), and shall not discuss the Company with any such Potential Adverse Party without prior written approval from the CLO. For the purposes of this Section 6, “Restraint Period” means:


 
(1) Twelve (12) months from the Grantee’s last day of employment with the Company, or if a court holds this period to be unreasonable or invalid, then: (2) Nine (9) months from the Grantee’s last day of employment with the Company, or if a court holds this period to be unreasonable or invalid, then: (3) Six (6) months from the Grantee’s last day of employment with the Company. For the purposes of this Section 6, “Restraint Area" means: (1) New Zealand, or if a court holds this geographical scope to be unreasonable or invalid for any reason, then: (2) Auckland and/or any other region and/or location in which the Company or any other company in the WEX group conducts business during the Grantee’s employment with the Company and in which the Grantee was involved and/or had knowledge of Confidential and Proprietary Information in respect of, or if a court holds this geographical scope to be unreasonable or invalid for any reason, then; (3) Auckland. For the purposes of this Section 6, the parties understand and agree that the “Company” means WEX Inc. and any of its holding or subsidiary companies as defined by the Companies Act 1993 (NZ) as amended from time to time. The Company Group have previously entered into agreements with certain executives and employees that contain restrictive covenants (“Restrictions”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee is party to an employment or other agreement containing Restrictions on (a) confidentiality, (b) solicitation of customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group, (c) solicitation or hire of Company employees, and/or (d) competition (collectively, “Existing Restrictions”), any such Existing Restrictions will remain in effect and the Grantee shall remain bound by such Existing Restrictions, rather than the Restrictions contained in this Section 6. The Grantee agrees and acknowledges that the Restraint Period, Restraint Area, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this Agreement are fair, and reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company. The Grantee also acknowledges that in the event the Grantee breaches any part of Sections 5 or 6, the damages to the Company and its subsidiaries would be irreparable. Therefore, in addition to penalties, monetary damages and interest and/or legal costs, the Company shall have the right to seek injunctive and/or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement. Further, the Grantee consents to the issuance of an interim injunction to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of any proceeding. The Grantee further understands and agrees that if the Grantee breaches any covenant set forth in Section 6, the duration of any covenant so breached shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, automatically be tolled from the date of the first breach until the date judicial relief providing effective remedy for such breach or breaches is obtained by the Company, or until the Company states in writing that it will seek no judicial relief for such breach. The parties undertake and agree that the restrictive covenants outlined in Section 6 constitute a reasonable bargain between the parties for the consideration that will be provided by the


 
Company in exchange for the Grantee entering into the restrictive covenants as outlined. Each restrictive covenant in this Section 6 (resulting from any combination of the wording in this Section 6, including the relevant definitions) constitutes a separate restrictive covenant that is severable from the other restrictive covenants. If any one or more provisions of this Section 6 shall for any reason be held to be unreasonable, void, voidable, unenforceable or illegal by a court or tribunal as to the Restraint Period, Restraint Area, activity or subject, because it goes beyond what is reasonable to protect the Company and its business or for any other reason, then the parties specifically agree that in accordance with section 83 of the Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017 (NZ) as amended from time to time, the offensive part will be severed and the other restrictive covenants will remain in full force and effect to the greatest extent permitted by law or a court may modify the provision to the extent that it would be deemed reasonable in order to give effect to the terms of the restrictive covenant so modified. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that a court may modify provision contained within this Section 6 notwithstanding that such a modification cannot be effected by the deletion of words from the provision. The Grantee agrees that the Company may send a copy of this Agreement to, or otherwise make the provisions of Sections 5 or 6of this Agreement known to, any of the Grantee’s potential and future employers or other entity considering engaging the Grantee or which has engaged or employed the Grantee where such engagement would breach the terms of this Agreement. The Grantee agrees not to assert any claim that such conduct by the Company is legally actionable interference or otherwise impermissible regardless of whether or not the provisions of Sections 5 or 6are later found to be enforceable in whole or in part. The Grantee understands, acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee has been provided with an opportunity to seek independent legal advice before deciding whether or not to enter into this Agreement and that the Grantee has made the decision on the Grantee’s own accord to agree to the restrictive covenants contained within this Section 6 in exchange for the consideration that the Company is providing as outlined herein. Mindful of the obligations set forth in Sections 5 and 6, upon termination of the Grantee’s employment, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company. No Rights to Continued Service: The following provision supplements Section 9 of the Agreement: The grant of Awards under the Plan is made at the discretion of the Company and the Plan may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time. The grant of an Award in one (1) year or at one time does not in any way entitle the Grantee to an Award in the future. The Plan is wholly discretionary and is not to be considered part of the Grantee's normal or expected compensation subject to severance, resignation, redundancy or similar compensation. The value of the Award is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of the Grantee's employment contract (if any). Imposition of Other Requirements: 26) Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, on the Award and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or


 
advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. Additional Acknowledgements and Authorizations: 27) Additional Acknowledgements and Authorizations. By accepting the Award, the Grantee acknowledges, understands and agrees that: a) the future value of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Award is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty; b) neither the Company, the Employer, nor any other subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Grantee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Award, any payment made pursuant to the Award, or the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan; and c) the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding participation in the Plan or the acquisition or sale of the shares of Common Stock. The Grantee should consult with his or her personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. Singapore The Grantee is employed by WEX Asia Pte Ltd (the “Employer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (each a “Group Company” and collectively, with all other subsidiaries of the Company, the “Group Companies”). Confidential Information: The following provisions replace Section 5 of the Agreement in its entirety: 5. Confidential Information. 5.1.

Grantee shall on the date upon which the Grantee’s employment with the Employer terminates for whatever reason and howsoever arising, whether lawfully or unlawfully, return to the Company any records in any form of Confidential Information acquired or received by the Grantee during the course of the Grantee’s employment and shall not retain any copy or summary of the same. 5.6. The restrictions in Sub-Sections 5.2 and 5.4 shall not apply to information which the Grantee can demonstrate: (i) was known to the Grantee prior to the commencement of the Grantee’s employment by the Employer; or (ii) is in the public domain, other than by way of unauthorised disclosure (whether by the Grantee or any other person). 5.7. This Agreement shall not prevent the Grantee from: 5.7.1.

This Section 6 shall not prevent the Grantee from:


 
6E.1 holding a Permitted Investment; or 6F. The Employer has previously entered into agreements with certain executives and employees that contain restrictive covenants (“Restrictions”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee is party to an employment or other agreement containing Restrictions on (a) confidentiality, (b) solicitation of customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company, (c) solicitation or hire of Company employees, and/or (d) competition (collectively, “Existing Restrictions”), any such Existing Restrictions will remain in effect and the Grantee shall remain bound by such Existing Restrictions. To the extent the restrictions contained in Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement conflict in any way with any Existing Restriction(s), such conflict shall be resolved by giving effect first to the restrictions in this Agreement. 6G. The Grantee hereby agrees that the Grantee will at the request and cost of the Employer enter into a direct agreement or undertaking with any Group Company whereby the Grantee will accept restrictions and provisions corresponding to the restrictions and provisions in the Non-Solicitation and Non-Competition Sections (or such of them as may be appropriate in the circumstances) in relation to such activities and such area and for such a period as such Group Company may reasonably require for the protection of its legitimate business interests. 6H. Each of the restrictions contained in this Section 6, each definition set out in Sub- Section 6A, each limb of such definition and each operative word within each Sub- Section or definition is intended to be an entirely separate, severable and independent restriction, notwithstanding that they are combined together for the sake of brevity, and the Grantee agrees not to advance any argument to the contrary.

The Grantee warrants that the Grantee will provide a copy of the “Singapore” section of Exhibit A to any employer or other person to whom or with whom the Grantee is intending to provide services or enter into employment within the Restricted Period, and that the Grantee will do so before entering into any contractually binding agreement to perform such services or enter into employment. For the avoidance of doubt, the remainder of the Agreement should not be provided and should remain strictly confidential. 6J.

Mindful of the obligations set forth in Sections 5 and 6 herein, upon termination of the Grantee’s employment, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the


 
Certificate of Compliance Post Termination forthwith in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Employer. 6L. The Grantee agrees and acknowledges that the period of time, geographical scope, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this Agreement are fair, and reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Employer and Group Company. No Rights to Continued Service: The following provisions supplement Section 9 of the Agreement: The grant of Awards under the Plan is made at the discretion of the Company and the Plan may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time. The grant of an Award in one (1) year or at one time does not in any way entitle the Grantee to an Award in the future. The Plan is wholly discretionary and is not to be considered part of the Grantee's normal or expected compensation subject to severance, resignation, redundancy or similar compensation. The value of the Award is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of the Grantee's employment contract (if any). The rights and obligations of the Grantee under the terms of the Grantee’s office or employment with the Grantee’s employing entity, any past or present subsidiary, or associated or affiliate company of the Company shall not be affected by the Grantee’s participation in the Plan or the grant of this Award or any right which the Grantee may have to participate therein, and the Grantee hereby waives all and any rights to compensation or damages in consequence of the termination of the Grantee’s office or employment with any such company for any reasons whatsoever (whether lawful or unlawful and including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, in circumstances giving rise to a claim for wrongful dismissal) insofar as those rights arise or may arise from the Grantee’s ceasing to have rights under the Plan or being entitled to this Award as a result of such termination, or from the loss or diminution in value of such rights or entitlements. Governing Law: The following provision replaces Section 10 of the Agreement in its entirety: 10) Governing Law. Save for taxation and the Sections which have been replaced or amended as set forth herein for Singapore which shall be governed by the laws of Singapore, this Agreement and the legal relations between the parties shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. Consent to Jurisdiction: The following provision replaces Section 11 of the Agreement in its entirety: 11) Consent to Jurisdiction. The Company and the Grantee, by the Grantee’s execution hereof, (a) hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Delaware for the purposes of any claim or action arising out of or based upon this Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof, save for any claim or action arising out of or based upon the “Singapore” section of Exhibit A of this Agreement, which each party irrevocably agrees to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of Singapore (b) hereby waive, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, and agree not to assert by way


 
of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such claim or action, any claim that the Grantee is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that the Grantee’s property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that any such proceeding brought in the above-named court is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court and (c) hereby agree not to commence any claim or action arising out of or based upon this Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof other than before the above-named courts nor to make any motion or take any other action seeking or intending to cause the transfer or removal of any such claim or action to any court other than the above- named courts whether on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise; provided, however, that the Company and the Grantee may seek to enforce a judgment issued by the above-named courts in any proper jurisdiction. The Company and the Grantee hereby consent to service of process in any such proceeding, and agree that service of process by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at the Grantee’s address specified pursuant to Section 15 is reasonably calculated to give actual notice. Severability: Section 20 of the Agreement does not apply. Electronic Delivery and Acceptance: The following provision replaces Section 25 of the Agreement in its entirety: 25) Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Grantee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company. Director Notification Obligation: 26) CEO / Director Notification Obligation. If the Grantee is a Chief Executive Officer (CEO), director (as defined under the Companies Act 1967), associate director, or shadow director (each of which, a “Director”) of the Employer, the Grantee is subject to certain notification requirements under the Companies Act 1967. The Grantee is obliged to notify the Employer in writing of any interest the Grantee has in any Group Company, including any interest in shares, debentures, participatory interests, rights, options, and contracts in relation to the Restricted Stock Units entitling the Grantee to Common Stock. The Grantee must notify the Company of such interest(s) within two (2) business days after (i) becoming a CEO or Director or (ii) becoming a registered holder of or acquiring an interest in the same, whichever is later. In addition, the Participant must notify such Subsidiary in Singapore in writing of any change in a previously-disclosed interest within two (2) business days after the occurrence of the event giving rise to the change (including when the Grantee sells shares in any Group Company, including any Restricted Stock Units acquired). Collection, Use and Disclosure of Personal Data: 27) Collection, Use and Disclosure of Personal Data.

The Grantee agrees to execute any such documents as may be required to effectuate said benefit. 6.2.7 Each of the restrictions contained in this Section 6.2, each definition set out in Section 6.1, each limb of such definition and each operative word within each Sub-Section or definition is intended to be an entirely separate, severable and independent restriction, notwithstanding that they are combined together for the sake of brevity, and the Grantee agrees not to advance any argument to the contrary. In the event that any of the restrictions shall be held to be void or ineffective but would be valid and effective if some part of the wording thereof were deleted such restriction shall apply with such modification as may be necessary to make it valid and effective. If such a deletion applies to a definition, such deletion shall not apply to any other restriction, so that each definition is deemed to be repeated each time it is used. 6.2.8 The Grantee agrees, during the period of twelve (12) months immediately following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason, to disclose to the Company, in writing, any person or entity with whom the Grantee becomes employed, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated, the Grantee’s date of hire or engagement, the Grantee’s job title, and a complete description of the Grantee’s duties.

The Grantee agrees that the Company may send a copy of this Agreement to, or otherwise make the provisions of Sections 5 or 6of this Agreement known to, any of the Grantee’s potential and future employers or other entity considering engaging the Grantee or which has engaged or employed the Grantee. The Grantee agrees not to assert any claim that such conduct by the Company is legally actionable interference or otherwise impermissible regardless of whether or not the provisions of Sections 5 or 6are later found to be enforceable in whole or in part. 6.2.10 Upon termination of the Grantee’s employment, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company as a reminder and ratification of the Grantee undertaking to comply with the Grantee obligations under this agreement. 6.2.11 The Grantee acknowledges that the period of time, geographical scope, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this Agreement are fair, reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company and any Group Company.

Data Privacy:


 
28) Data Privacy. a) The Company, in its capacity as Controller, grants Awards under the Plan to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries in its sole discretion. In conjunction with the Company’s grant of the Award under the Plan and its ongoing administration of such awards, the Company collects, uses and otherwise processes (“Process (es)(ing)”) the Grantee’s personal data (“Personal Data”), including the Grantee’s name, home address, email address, and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any shares of Common Stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Awards or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor, which the Company receives from the Grantee or the Employer. b) Data Collection, Processing and Usage. In granting the Award under the Plan, the Company will Process the Grantee’s Personal Data for purposes of allocating shares of Common Stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis, where required, for the Processing of the Grantee’s Personal Data is the necessity for the Company to (i) perform its contractual obligations under this Agreement, (ii) comply with legal obligations established in the European Union, European Economic Area, and the United Kingdom (“EEA+”), and/or (iii) pursue the legitimate interest of complying with legal obligations established outside of the EEA+. c) Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. The Company transfers the Grantee’s Personal Data to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and its affiliates, independent service providers based in the United States, which assist the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan (the “Service Provider”). In the future, the Company may select a different Service Provider and share the Grantee’s Personal Data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Service Provider will open an account for the Grantee to receive and trade shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan. The Grantee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Service Provider, which is a condition to the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan. d) International Data Transfers. The Company and the Service Provider are based in the United States. The Grantee should note that the Grantee’s country of residence may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. In order to protect the Grantee’s privacy, where Personal Data are transferred by or on behalf of the Company to other countries or organizations that have not been recognized as providing regulatory protection similar to the Grantee’s country, the Company contractually obliges its international entities, affiliates and service providers to comply with the applicable data protection laws and principles through standard clauses that have been approved or recognized by the relevant regulators. The Company also relies on the Grantee’s consent per this Agreement as the legal basis for the transfer of the Grantee’s Personal Data to the United States is the Grantee’s consent. e) Voluntariness and Consequences of Failure to Perform Under the Agreement, Consent Denial or Consent Withdrawal. The Grantee’s participation in the Plan and his or her performance under this Agreement, including agreeing to the Processing of the necessary Personal Data is purely voluntary. The Grantee may end his or her participation in the Plan, terminate this Agreement or deny or withdraw his or her consent to the transfer of his or her Personal Data at any time. If the Grantee does not consent, or if the Grantee later withdraws his


 
or her consent, the Grantee may be unable to participate in the Plan. This will not affect the Grantee’s existing employment or salary; instead, the Grantee merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan. f) Data Subjects Rights. The Grantee may have a number of rights under the data privacy laws in the Grantee’s country of residence. For example, the Grantee’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of Personal Data the Company Processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect Personal Data, (iii) request deletion of Personal Data, (iv) place restrictions on Processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent privacy or data protection authorities in the Grantee’s country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Grantee’s Personal Data. To receive clarification regarding the Grantee’s rights or to exercise his or her rights, the Grantee should refer to the relevant privacy policy available at https://www.wexinc.com/workday/legal-notices/ and contact his or her local human resources department. g) Personal Data Retention. The Company and its Service Provider will retain the Grantee’s Personal Data no longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was processed for the duration of this Agreement, unless a longer period is required to comply with applicable laws. Retention periods may vary depending on i) purpose for which the Personal Data was collected and used, which may differ depending on the nature of the Personal Data and the activities involved, ii) the length of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, or iii) whether there are legal obligations to which either the Company or the Grantee are subject. (h) For more information on how the Company processes the Grantee’s Personal Data, please refer to the relevant privacy policy available at https://www.wexinc.com/workday/legal- notices/. Additional Acknowledgements and Authorizations: 29) Additional Acknowledgements and Authorizations By accepting the Award, the Grantee consents to participation in the Plan and acknowledges that the Grantee has received a copy of the Plan. The Grantee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously, and in its sole discretion decided to grant the Award under the Plan to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not bind the Company or any subsidiary, other than to the extent set forth in this Agreement. Consequently, the Grantee understands that the Award is granted on the assumption and condition that the Award and any shares acquired at vesting of the Award are not part of any employment or service contract (either with the Company or any subsidiary), and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation), or any other right whatsoever. In addition, the Grantee understands that this grant would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Grantee acknowledges and freely accepts that, should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant of or right to the Award shall be null and void. Further, the Grantee understands that he or she will not be entitled to continue vesting in any Award upon cessation of the Grantee’s employment or service, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

The Grantee should consult with his or her personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. The Grantee is employed either by WEX Europe Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, WEX Europe UK Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company or WEX Europe Services Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (each a “Group Company” and collectively, with all other subsidiaries of the Company, the “Group Companies”); (each, respectively, the “Employer”). "Eligible employees" for the purposes of Restricted Stock Unit Awards made to participants resident in the United Kingdom shall include employees and executive directors only of the Employer.

For the purposes of this Section 6, acts done by the Grantee outside the Restricted Area shall nonetheless be deemed to be done within the Restricted Area where their primary purpose is to distribute, sell, supply or otherwise deal with Restricted


 
Goods or Restricted Services in the Restricted Area. The restrictions imposed in Sub-Sections 5B and 5C of this Agreement apply to the Grantee acting: (i) directly or indirectly; and (ii) on the Grantee’s own behalf or on behalf of, or in conjunction with, any firm, company or person. 6E. This Section 6 shall not prevent the Grantee from: 6E.1. holding a Permitted Investment; or 6E.2. being engaged in or rendering services to, any business concern during the Restricted Period, provided that the Grantee’s duties or work shall 6E.2.1. relate solely to services or activities of a kind with which the Grantee (or an employee under the Grantee’s direct supervision) was not concerned to a material extent during the Relevant Period; and 6E.2.2. there is no risk of conscious or subconscious direct or indirect transmission of Confidential Information or trade secrets. 6F. The Employer has previously entered into agreements with certain executives and employees that contain restrictive covenants (“Restrictions”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee is party to an employment or other agreement containing Restrictions on (a) confidentiality, (b) solicitation of customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Employer, (c) solicitation or hire of employees of the Employer, and/or (d) competition (collectively, “Existing Restrictions”), any such Existing Restrictions will remain in effect and the Grantee shall remain bound by such Existing Restrictions. To the extent the restrictions contained in Sections 5 or 6of this Agreement conflict in any way with any Existing Restriction(s), such conflict shall be resolved by giving effect first to the enforceable restrictions in this Agreement. 6G. The Grantee hereby agrees that the Grantee will at the request and cost of the Employer enter into a direct agreement or undertaking with any Group Company whereby the Grantee will accept restrictions and provisions corresponding to the restrictions and provisions in Sections 5 and 6 (or such of them as may be appropriate in the circumstances) in relation to such activities and such area and for such a period as such Group Company may reasonably require for the protection of its legitimate business interests. 6H. If the Grantee’s employment transfers by operation of law to a third party (the “Transferee”), Sections 5 and 6 shall with effect from that transfer of employment apply to the Grantee as if references to the Employer included the Transferee and references to any Group Company were construed accordingly, and as if the references to defined terms in respect of the Employer and any Group Company including but not limited to "Customer", "Prospective Customer" and "Critical Employee", applied to the customers, prospective customers and critical employees of the Transferee and their respective Group Companies. The Grantee agrees to execute any such documents as may be required to effectuate said benefit. 6I. Each of the restrictions contained in this Section 6, each definition set out in Sub-Section 5A, each limb of such definition and each operative word within each Sub-Section or


 
definition is intended to be an entirely separate, severable and independent restriction, notwithstanding that they are combined together for the sake of brevity, and the Grantee agrees not to advance any argument to the contrary. In the event that any of the restrictions shall be held to be void or ineffective but would be valid and effective if some part of the wording thereof were deleted such restriction shall apply with such modification as may be necessary to make it valid and effective. If such a deletion applies to a definition, such deletion shall not apply to any other restriction, so that each definition is deemed to be repeated each time it is used. 6J. The Grantee warrants that s/he will provide a copy of this Agreement to any employer or other person to whom or with whom the Grantee is intending to provide services or enter into employment within the Restricted Period, and that the Grantee will do so before entering into any contractually binding agreement to perform such services or enter into employment. 6K. Immediately after agreeing to provide services to or enter into employment with any third party during the Restricted Period, the Grantee will notify the Employer of the identity of that third party. 6L. Mindful of the obligations set forth in Sections 5 and 6, upon termination of the Grantee’s employment, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Employer. 6M. The Grantee agrees and acknowledges that the period of time, geographical scope, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this Agreement are fair, and reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Employer and Group Company. No Rights to Continued Service: The following provisions supplement Section 9 of the Agreement: The grant of Awards under the Plan is made at the discretion of the Company and the Plan may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time. The grant of an Award in one (1) year or at one time does not in any way entitle the Grantee to an Award in the future. The Plan is wholly discretionary and is not to be considered part of the Grantee's normal or expected compensation subject to severance, resignation, redundancy or similar compensation. The value of the Award is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of the Grantee's employment contract. The rights and obligations of the Grantee under the terms of the Grantee’s office or employment with the Grantee’s employing entity, any past or present subsidiary, or associated or affiliate company of the Company shall not be affected by the Grantee’s participation in the Plan or the grant of this Award or any right which the Grantee may have to participate therein, and the Grantee hereby waives all and any rights to compensation or damages in consequence of the termination of the Grantee’s office or employment with any such company for any reasons whatsoever (whether lawful or unlawful and including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, in circumstances giving rise to a claim for wrongful dismissal) insofar as those rights arise or may arise from the Grantee’s ceasing to have rights under the Plan or being entitled to this Award as a result of such termination, or from the loss or diminution in value of such rights or entitlements.


 
Governing Law The following provision replaces Section 10 of the Agreement in its entirety: 10) Governing Law. Save for taxation and the Sections which have been replaced or amended for the United Kingdom as set forth herein (Sections 5, 6, 10,11, 13, 26, 27, 28, 29) which shall be governed by the laws of England and Wales, this Agreement and the legal relations between the parties shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. Consent to Jurisdiction: The following provision replaces Section 11 of the Agreement in its entirety: 11) Consent to Jurisdiction. The Company and the Grantee, by the Grantee’s execution hereof, (a) hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Delaware for the purposes of any claim or action arising out of or based upon this Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof, save for any claim or action arising out of or based upon the “United Kingdom” section of Exhibit A of this Agreement, which each party irrevocably agrees to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts (b) hereby waive, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, and agree not to assert by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such claim or action, any claim that the Grantee is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that the Grantee’s property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that any such proceeding brought in the above-named court is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court and (c) hereby agree not to commence any claim or action arising out of or based upon this Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof other than before the above-named courts nor to make any motion or take any other action seeking or intending to cause the transfer or removal of any such claim or action to any court other than the above- named courts whether on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise; provided, however, that the Company and the Grantee may seek to enforce a judgment issued by the above-named courts in any proper jurisdiction. The Company and the Grantee hereby consent to service of process in any such proceeding, and agree that service of process by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at the Grantee’s address specified pursuant to Section 15 is reasonably calculated to give actual notice. Tax Obligations: The following provisions replace Section 8 of the Agreement in its entirety: 8) Tax Obligations. As a condition to the granting of the Award and the vesting thereof, the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee is responsible for the payment of UK income tax and employee's primary Class 1 national insurance contribution liabilities (and any other taxes required to be withheld) payable in connection with the vesting of an Award. Accordingly, the Grantee agrees to remit to the Company or any applicable subsidiary an amount sufficient to pay such taxes. Such payment shall be made to the Company or the applicable subsidiary of the Company in a form that is reasonably acceptable to the Company, as the Company may determine in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may retain and withhold from delivery at the time of vesting that number of shares of Common


 
Stock having a fair market value equal to the taxes owed by the Grantee, which retained shares shall fund the payment of such taxes by the Company on behalf of the Grantee. Further to the above, the Grantee agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer in respect of any income tax liability which falls to be paid to UK HM Revenue & Customs ("HMRC") by the Company or the Employer under the Income Tax (Earnings & Pensions) Act 2003 ("ITEPA") and the PAYE regulations referred to in it, and any employees' primary Class 1 national insurance contributions which fall to be paid to HMRC by the Company or the Employer under the PAYE system as it applies for national insurance purposes under the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 and the regulations referred to in it arising in connection with the grant, vesting or cancellation of the Award or the acquisition or other dealing in the shares of Common Stock acquired. If so required by the Company, and if the shares subject to the Award are considered to be "restricted securities" for the purposes of Part 7, Chapter 2 ITEPA (such determination to be made by the Company in its absolute discretion), settlement of the Award will be conditional on the Grantee executing a joint election pursuant to section 431 ITEPA together with the Employer in order to elect that the market value of the shares subject to the Award be calculated as if such shares were not "restricted securities". Electronic Delivery and Acceptance: The following provision replaces Section 25 of the Agreement in its entirety: 25) Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Grantee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company. Data Privacy: 26) Data Privacy a) The Company, in its capacity as Controller, grants Awards under the Plan to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries in its sole discretion. In conjunction with the Company’s grant of the Award under the Plan and its ongoing administration of such awards, the Company collects, uses and otherwise processes (“Process (es)(ing)”) the Grantee’s personal data (“Personal Data”), including the Grantee’s name, home address, email address, and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any shares of Common Stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Awards or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor, which the Company receives from the Grantee or the Employer.


 
b) Data Collection, Processing and Usage. In granting the Award under the Plan, the Company will Process the Grantee’s Personal Data for purposes of allocating shares of Common Stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis, where required, for the Processing of the Grantee’s Personal Data is the necessity for the Company to (i) perform its contractual obligations under this Agreement, (ii) comply with legal obligations established in the European Union, European Economic Area, and the United Kingdom (“EEA+”), and/or (iii) pursue the legitimate interest of complying with legal obligations established outside of the EEA+. c) Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. The Company transfers the Grantee’s Personal Data to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and its affiliates, independent service providers based in the United States, which assist the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan (the “Service Provider”). In the future, the Company may select a different Service Provider and share the Grantee’s Personal Data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Service Provider will open an account for the Grantee to receive and trade shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan. The Grantee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Service Provider, which is a condition to the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan. d) International Data Transfers. The Company and the Service Provider are based in the United States. The Grantee should note that the Grantee’s country of residence may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. In order to protect the Grantee’s privacy, where Personal Data are transferred by or on behalf of the Company to other countries or organizations that have not been recognized as providing regulatory protection similar to the Grantee’s country, the Company contractually obliges its international entities, affiliates and service providers to comply with the applicable data protection laws and principles through standard clauses that have been approved or recognized by the relevant regulators. The Company also relies on the Grantee’s consent per this Agreement as the legal basis for the transfer of the Grantee’s Personal Data to the United States is the Grantee’s consent. e) Voluntariness and Consequences of Failure to Perform Under the Agreement, Consent Denial or Consent Withdrawal. The Grantee’s participation in the Plan and his or her performance under this Agreement, including agreeing to the Processing of the necessary Personal Data is purely voluntary. The Grantee may end his or her participation in the Plan, terminate this Agreement or deny or withdraw his or her consent to the transfer of his or her Personal Data at any time. If the Grantee does not consent, or if the Grantee later withdraws his or her consent, the Grantee may be unable to participate in the Plan. This will not affect the Grantee’s existing employment or salary; instead, the Grantee merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.


 
f) Data Subjects Rights. The Grantee may have a number of rights under the data privacy laws in the Grantee’s country of residence. For example, the Grantee’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of Personal Data the Company Processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect Personal Data, (iii) request deletion of Personal Data, (iv) place restrictions on Processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent privacy or data protection authorities in the Grantee’s country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Grantee’s Personal Data. To receive clarification regarding the Grantee’s rights or to exercise his or her rights, the Grantee should refer to the relevant privacy policy available at https://www.wexinc.com/workday/legal-notices/ and contact their local human resources department. g) Personal Data Retention. The Company and its Service Provider will retain the Grantee’s Personal Data no longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was processed for the duration of this Agreement, unless a longer period is required to comply with applicable laws. Retention periods may vary depending on i) purpose for which the Personal Data was collected and used, which may differ depending on the nature of the Personal Data and the activities involved, ii) the length of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, or iii) whether there are legal obligations to which either the Company or the Grantee are subject. h) For more information on how the Company processes the Grantee’s Personal Data, please refer to the relevant privacy policy available at https://www.wexinc.com/workday/legal-notices/. Imposition of Other Requirements: 27) Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, on the Award and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. Electronic Delivery and Acceptance: 28) Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Grantee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company. Additional Acknowledgements and Authorizations: 29) Additional Acknowledgements and Authorizations. By accepting the Award, the Grantee acknowledges, understands and agrees that: (a) the future value of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Award is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty; (b) neither the Company, the Employer, nor any other subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Grantee’s local currency and the United States


 
Dollar that may affect the value of the Award, any payment made pursuant to the Award, or the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan; and (c) the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding participation in the Plan or the acquisition or sale of the shares of Common Stock. The Grantee should consult with his or her personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. Rights of Third Parties: 30) Rights of Third Parties.

Further, the Grantee consents to the issuance of a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of any proceeding. The Grantee further understands and agrees that if the Grantee breaches any covenant set forth in Section 6, the duration of any covenant so breached shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, automatically be tolled from the date of the first breach until the date judicial relief providing effective remedy


 
for such breach or breaches is obtained by the Company, or until the Company states in writing that it will seek no judicial relief for such breach. If any one or more provisions of Sections 5 or 6 shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to time, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed, by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the greatest extent compatible with applicable law as it shall then appear, and the parties expressly agree that any of the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 may be reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled to make such provision enforceable, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the parties consent to the enforcement of such provision as so reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled.

The Grantee agrees to make such disclosure to the Company no later than the date on which the Grantee accepts or otherwise agrees to become employed by, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated with such person or entity. While the Grantee is employed with the Company and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the final Vesting Date, the Grantee will provide any person or entity that the Grantee seeks an offer of employment or other engagement or retention from notice of the existence of this Agreement and the terms of Sections 5 and 6 before requesting or accepting such an offer. If the Grantee fails to provide such notice, the Grantee understands that the Grantee may be held liable for any consequential damages resulting from such failure. The Grantee agrees that the Company may send a copy of this Agreement to, or otherwise make the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement known to, any of the Grantee’s potential and future employers or other entity considering engaging the Grantee or which has engaged or employed the Grantee. The Grantee agrees not to assert any claim that such conduct by the Company is legally actionable interference or otherwise impermissible regardless of whether or not the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 are later found to be enforceable in whole or in part. Mindful of the obligations set forth in Sections 5 and 6, upon termination of the Grantee’s employment, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

If the Grantee is contacted by any Potential Adverse Party, the Grantee shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Company’s Chief Legal Officer (the “CLO”), and shall not discuss the Company with any such Potential Adverse Party without prior written approval from the CLO. The restrictions in this Section shall not be deemed to prohibit the Grantee from owning not more than one percent (1%) of the total shares of all classes of stock of any publicly held company. The Grantee acknowledges that the Company Group’s businesses are conducted internationally and agrees that the provisions in this Section shall operate in any country in which the Company conducts business while the Grantee is/was employed by the Company. Further, nothing in this Agreement or any Company policy restricts Grantee from having additional outside employment or contract work so long as the outside work does not result in disclosure or use of confidential Company information or proprietary Company information, violate Grantee’s duty of loyalty, or create a conflict of interest. The Company has previously entered into agreements with certain executives and employees that contain restrictive covenants (“Restrictions”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee is party to an employment or other agreement containing Restrictions on (a) confidentiality, (b) solicitation of customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company, (c) solicitation or hire of Company employees, and/or (d) competition (collectively, “Existing Restrictions”), any such Existing Restrictions will remain in effect and the Grantee shall remain bound by such Existing Restrictions. To the extent the restrictions contained in Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement conflict in any way with any Existing Restriction(s), such conflict shall be resolved by giving effect to the provision that provides the greatest protection to the Company that is enforceable under applicable law. The Grantee agrees and acknowledges that the period of time, geographical scope, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this Agreement are fair, and reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company. The Grantee also acknowledges that in the event the Grantee breaches any part of Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement, the damages to the Company would be irreparable. Therefore, in addition to monetary damages and/or reasonable attorney fees, the Company shall have the right to seek injunctive and/or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement. Further, the Grantee consents to the issuance of a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of any proceeding. The Grantee further understands and agrees that if the Grantee breaches any covenant set forth in Section 6, the duration of any covenant so breached shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, automatically be tolled from the date of the first breach until the date judicial relief providing effective remedy


 
for such breach or breaches is obtained by the Company, or until the Company states in writing that it will seek no judicial relief for such breach. If any one or more provisions of Sections 5 or 6 shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to time, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed, by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the greatest extent compatible with applicable law as it shall then appear, and the parties expressly agree that any of the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 may be reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled to make such provision enforceable, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the parties consent to the enforcement of such provision as so reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled. The Grantee agrees, during (i) the twelve (12) month period following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, the twelve (12) month period following the final Vesting Date, to disclose to the Company, in writing, any person or entity with whom the Grantee becomes employed, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated, the Grantee’s date of hire or engagement, the Grantee’s job title, and a complete description of the Grantee’s duties. The Grantee agrees to make such disclosure to the Company no later than the date on which the Grantee accepts or otherwise agrees to become employed by, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated with such person or entity. While the Grantee is employed with the Company and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the final Vesting Date, the Grantee will provide any person or entity that the Grantee seeks an offer of employment or other engagement or retention from notice of the existence of this Agreement and the terms of Sections 5 and 6 before requesting or accepting such an offer. If the Grantee fails to provide such notice, the Grantee understands that the Grantee may be held liable for any consequential damages resulting from such failure. The Grantee agrees that the Company may send a copy of this Agreement to, or otherwise make the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement known to, any of the Grantee’s potential and future employers or other entity considering engaging the Grantee or which has engaged or employed the Grantee. The Grantee agrees not to assert any claim that such conduct by the Company is legally actionable interference or otherwise impermissible regardless of whether or not the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 are later found to be enforceable in whole or in part. Mindful of the obligations set forth in Sections 5 and 6, upon termination of the Grantee’s employment, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company. United States - Illinois Only The following provisions are added to the end of Section 6: The provisions of Sub-Section 6(e) shall only apply if the Grantee’s actual or expected annualized rate of earnings exceeds the amount required by 820 ILCS 90/10(a). The provisions of Sub-Sections 6(a), 6(b), 6(c) and 6(d) shall only apply if the Grantee’s actual or expected annualized rate of earnings exceeds the amount required by 820 ILCS 90/10(b). The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee had at least fourteen (14) days to consider this Agreement before being required to sign it and if the Grantee signed it before the expiration of the fourteen (14) day


 
period, the Grantee did so of the Grantee’s own volition and waived the remainder of the fourteen (14) day consideration period. The Company advises the Grantee to consult with an attorney before signing this Agreement, and the Grantee acknowledges that Grantee has been so advised. The Grantee further acknowledges that the promises and benefits provided by the Company to the Grantee constitute professional or financial benefits which are adequate consideration by themselves to support the covenants contained in Section 6. United States -Maine Only The following provisions are added to the end of Section 6: The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Grantee was provided a copy of this Agreement three (3) or more days in advance of any requirement to sign it, (ii) the Grantee earns wages at or above four hundred percent (400%) of the federal poverty level, (iii) Sub-Section 6(e) will not take effect until after one (1) year of the start of the Grantee’s Service or a period of six (6) months from the date this Agreement is signed, whichever is later, and (iv) the restrictions of Sub-Section 6(e) are necessary to protect the Company Group’s trade secrets, confidential information, and goodwill, and that these business interests cannot be adequately protected through alternative restrictive covenants alone. United States - Massachusetts Only Non-Competition The following provisions replace Section 6 of the Agreement in its entirety: 6) Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. In consideration of the promises contained herein and the Grantee’s access and exposure to Confidential and Proprietary Information provided to the Grantee, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Grantee agrees that during the Grantee’s Service and continuing thereafter (1) with respect to Sub-Sections 5(a) through 5(d), (i) until twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, until twelve (12) months following the final Vesting Date, (2) with respect to Sub-Section 6(e), until twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason and (3) with respect to Sub-Section 6(f), in perpetuity, the Grantee shall not, on behalf of the Grantee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, entity or organization other than the Company, whether as an agent or otherwise: (a) Contact, call on, provide advice to, solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company with whom the Grantee directly performed any services or had any direct business contact; (b) Contact, call on, provide advice to, solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company whose entity- or other customer-specific information the Grantee


 
discovered or gained access to as a result of the Grantee’s access to Company Confidential and Proprietary Information; (c) Utilize the Company Group’s Confidential and Proprietary Information to solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company; (d) Solicit or induce, either directly or indirectly, any employee of the Company to leave the employ of the Company or become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than the Company; or take any action to assist any subsequent employer or any other person, entity or organization, either directly or indirectly, in soliciting or inducing any Company employee to leave the employ of the Company or become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than the Company; or hire or employ, or assist in the hiring or employment of, either directly or indirectly, any individual employed by the Company within sixty (60) days preceding that individual’s hire by the Grantee or the Grantee’s subsequent employer; (e) Become employed by, render services to or directly or indirectly (whether for compensation or otherwise, and whether as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, lender, investor, corporate officer, board member, director, or in any other individual or representative capacity), own or hold a proprietary interest in, manage, operate, or control, or join or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or furnish any capital to or be connected in any manner with, any Competing Enterprise. For purposes of this Sub-Section 6(e), a “Competing Enterprise” means any entity, organization or person engaged, or planning to become engaged, in substantially the same or similar business to that being conducted or actively and specifically planned to be conducted during the Grantee’s Service or within six (6) months after the Grantee’s termination of Service or its subsidiaries, owned or controlled.

The restrictions in this Section 6 shall be effective and binding only to the extent permissible under Rule 5.6 of the Maine Rules of Professional Conduct or any similar rule governing the practice of law that is applicable to the Grantee. The restrictions in this Section shall not be construed to prevent the Grantee from, following the termination of the Grantee’s Service, working for a business entity that does not compete with the Company or its


 
subsidiaries simply because the entity is affiliated with a Competing Enterprise, so long as the entity is operationally separate and distinct from the Competing Enterprise and the Grantee’s job responsibilities at that entity are unrelated to the Competing Enterprise. The restrictions in this Section will not apply to employment by or the rendering of services to businesses that sell fuel or convenience items if those businesses are not directly competing with the Company or its subsidiaries, owned or controlled. The restrictions in this Section shall also not be deemed to prohibit the Grantee from owning not more than one percent (1%) of the total shares of all classes of stock of any publicly held company. The Grantee acknowledges that the Company Group’s businesses are conducted internationally and agrees that the provisions in this Section shall operate in any country in which the Company conducts business while the Grantee is/was employed by the Company. The Grantee acknowledges that the Company’s grant and provision of the Restricted Stock Units, to which the Grantee would not be entitled absent execution of this Agreement, constitute fair, reasonable, and mutually agreed upon consideration to support this Sub-Section 6(e). This Sub- Section 6(e), only, shall not apply if the Grantee is terminated without Cause or laid off. For purposes of this Sub-Section 6(e), only, the term “Cause” shall mean willful misconduct by the Grantee or willful failure by the Grantee to perform his or her responsibilities to the Company (including, without limitation, breach by the Grantee of any provision of any employment, consulting, advisory, nondisclosure, non-competition or other similar agreement between the Grantee and the Company), as determined by the Company, which determination shall be conclusive. The Grantee’s employment shall be considered to have been terminated for Cause if the Company determines, within thirty (30) days after the Grantee’s termination, that termination for Cause was warranted; and/or (f) Subject to Sub-Section 5(b), and except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise explicitly directed in writing by an officer of the Company, directly or through others: (a) provide any confidential information, including any information derived from the Grantee’s experience with the Company, to (i) any competitor of the Company, (ii) any person the Grantee knows or has reason to believe may be an investor or prospective investor in the Company, (iii) a member of the media, (iv) any prospective acquirer of the Company, (v) any litigant or potential litigant against the Company, (vi) any other person seeking information regarding the Company (including, without limitation, information with respect to its business, executives, directors, balance sheet, history, prospects or opportunities) or seeking to change or influence the control of the Company, or (vii) any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing (any such person described in clauses (i) to (vii), a “Potential Adverse Party”); (b) make, publicly or privately, any statements that disparage, or could otherwise cause harm to, the business or reputation of the Company and/or any current or former officer, director or employee of the Company; (c) join a “group” or become a “participant” in a solicitation with respect to the Company (other than a solicitation by the Board of Directors), as those terms are defined in applicable securities laws; and (d) aid, encourage, advise or otherwise provide assistance to any Potential Adverse Party in (i) asserting, prosecuting or defending


 
any claim, action or proceeding against the Company, (ii) undertaking a proxy contest, withhold campaign or other shareholder activism campaign or proxy solicitation against the Company, (iii) proposing to acquire the Company or any of its assets or subsidiaries or (iv) making any other demands of the Company. If the Grantee is contacted by any Potential Adverse Party, the Grantee shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Company’s Chief Legal Officer (the “CLO”), and shall not discuss the Company with any such Potential Adverse Party without prior written approval from the CLO. The Company has previously entered into agreements with certain executives and employees that contain restrictive covenants (“Restrictions”).

To the extent the restrictions contained in Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement conflict in any way with any Existing Restriction(s), such conflict shall be resolved by giving effect to the provision that provides the greatest protection to the Company that is enforceable under applicable law. The Grantee agrees and acknowledges that the period of time, geographical scope, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this Agreement are fair, and reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company. The Grantee also acknowledges that in the event the Grantee breaches any part of Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement, the damages to the Company would be irreparable. Therefore, in addition to monetary damages and/or reasonable attorney fees, the Company shall have the right to seek injunctive and/or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement. Further, the Grantee consents to the issuance of a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of any proceeding. The Grantee further understands and agrees that if the Grantee breaches any covenant set forth in Section 6, the duration of any covenant so breached shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, automatically be tolled from the date of the first breach until the date judicial relief providing effective remedy for such breach or breaches is obtained by the Company, or until the Company states in writing that it will seek no judicial relief for such breach; except that the duration of the covenants contained in Sub-Section 6(e), only, shall extend to twenty-four (24) months if the Grantee breached his or her fiduciary duty to the Company and/or if the Grantee has unlawfully taken, physically or electronically, property belonging to the Company. If any one or more provisions of Sections 5 or 6 shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to time, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed, by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the greatest extent compatible with applicable law as it shall then appear, and the parties


 
expressly agree that any of the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 may be reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled to make such provision enforceable, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the parties consent to the enforcement of such provision as so reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled.

Mindful of the obligations set forth in Sections 5 and 6, upon termination of the Grantee’s employment, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee is party to an employment or other agreement containing Restrictions on (a) confidentiality, (b) solicitation of customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the


 
Company, (c) solicitation or hire of Company employees, and/or (d) competition (collectively, “Existing Restrictions”), any such Existing Restrictions will remain in effect and the Grantee shall remain bound by such Existing Restrictions. To the extent the restrictions contained in Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement conflict in any way with any Existing Restriction(s), such conflict shall be resolved by giving effect to the provision that provides the greatest protection to the Company that is enforceable under applicable law. The Grantee agrees and acknowledges that the period of time, geographical scope, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this Agreement are fair, and reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company. The Grantee also acknowledges that in the event the Grantee breaches any part of Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement, the damages to the Company would be irreparable. Therefore, in addition to monetary damages and/or reasonable attorney fees, the Company shall have the right to seek injunctive and/or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement. Further, the Grantee consents to the issuance of a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of any proceeding. If any one or more provisions of Sections 5 or 6 shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to time, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed, by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the greatest extent compatible with applicable law as it shall then appear, and the parties expressly agree that any of the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 may be reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled to make such provision enforceable, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the parties consent to the enforcement of such provision as so reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled. The Grantee agrees, during (i) the twelve (12) month period following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, the twelve (12) month period following the final Vesting Date, to disclose to the Company, in writing, any person or entity with whom the Grantee becomes employed, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated, the Grantee’s date of hire or engagement, the Grantee’s job title, and a complete description of the Grantee’s duties. The Grantee agrees to make such disclosure to the Company no later than the date on which the Grantee accepts or otherwise agrees to become employed by, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated with such person or entity. While the Grantee is employed with the Company and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the final Vesting Date, the Grantee will provide any person or entity that the Grantee seeks an offer of employment or other engagement or retention from notice of the existence of this Agreement and the terms of Sections 5 and 6 before requesting or accepting such an offer. If the Grantee fails to provide such notice, the Grantee understands that the Grantee may be held liable for any consequential damages resulting from such failure. The Grantee agrees that the Company may send a copy of this Agreement to, or otherwise make the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement known to, any of the Grantee’s potential and future employers or other entity considering engaging the Grantee or which has engaged or employed the Grantee. The


 
Grantee agrees not to assert any claim that such conduct by the Company is legally actionable interference or otherwise impermissible regardless of whether or not the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 are later found to be enforceable in whole or in part. Mindful of the obligations set forth in Sections 5 and 6, upon termination of the Grantee’s employment, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company. Governing Law: The following provision replaces Section 10 of the Agreement in its entirety: 10) Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action or other matters that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflict or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation thereof to the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. If the laws of the State of Washington apply to the Grantee, then nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to deprive the Grantee of the protections or benefits of the Washington Noncompete Act (RCW §§49.62.005 – 900). Consent to Jurisdiction: The following is added to the end of Section 11: If the laws of the State of Washington apply to the Grantee, then nothing in this Agreement shall require the Grantee to adjudicate a noncompetition covenant outside of the State of Washington. Grantee understands that nothing in this Agreement or in any Company policy prevents Grantee from discussing or disclosing conduct, or the existence of a settlement involving conduct, that Grantee reasonably believed to be illegal discrimination, illegal harassment, illegal retaliation, a wage and hour violation, or sexual assault, or that is recognized as illegal under state, federal, or common law, or that is recognized as against a clear mandate of public policy, where the conduct occurred at the workplace, at work-related events coordinated by or through the employer, between employees, or between an employer and an employee, whether on or off the employment premises; provided, however, that Grantee remains subject to any obligation to keep confidential the amount paid in settlement of any claim.

Exhibit 10.3 WEX INC. AMENDED AND RESTATED 2019 EQUITY AND INCENTIVE PLAN PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT 2024 GRANT THIS AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into by and between WEX Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the individual (the “Grantee”) listed on the attached Memorandum (which is incorporated herein by reference, the “Memorandum”), effective as of the Date of Grant set forth on such Memorandum (the “Date of Grant”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of the WEX Inc. Amended and Restated 2019 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan. WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Plan (the prospectus of which was provided to the Grantee), which is incorporated herein by reference and made part of this Agreement; WHEREAS, the Board has the authority under the Plan to grant Awards to eligible service providers of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company Group”); and WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to grant the Award provided for herein to the Grantee pursuant to the Plan and this Agreement. NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual convents hereinafter set forth, the Company and the Grantee agree as follows: 1) Award. Subject to (i) the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Grantee’s agreement to comply with the obligations set forth in Section 5 and Section 6 below) and (ii) the Grantee’s acknowledgement of this Agreement and the Memorandum, the Company hereby grants the Grantee the number of Performance Restricted Stock Units set forth in the Memorandum (the “PRSUs”). 2) Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3(a), Section 3(b)(i) and Section 3(c), no portion of the PRSUs shall become vested unless and until both the Time-Vesting Condition and Performance-Vesting Condition (as those terms are described below) have been satisfied (collectively, the “Vesting Conditions”). Any portion of the PRSUs that has satisfied both the Time-Vesting Condition and the Performance-Vesting Condition (or has otherwise become vested pursuant to Section 3(a), Section 3(b)(i) or Section 3(c)) is hereinafter referred to as the “Vested PRSUs” and the date on which any PRSUs become Vested PRSUs, the “Vesting Date.” a) Time-Vesting Condition. The “Time-Vesting Condition” shall be satisfied on the third anniversary of the Date of Grant, subject to the Grantee’s continued Service on such date. For purposes of this Agreement, “Service” means providing services as an active employee, to, or for the benefit of, any member of the Company Group.


 
b) Performance-Vesting Condition. The “Performance-Vesting Condition” shall be satisfied based on the achievement of the performance goals set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, during the performance period set forth therein, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. 3) Termination; Change in Control. a) Death. Upon the Grantee’s death, if (i) achievement of the Performance-Vesting Condition has not been determined by the Board at such time (the “Pre-Determination Period”), the Target number of PRSUs set forth in the Memorandum shall immediately vest, become Vested PRSUs and shall be settled in accordance with Section 4; or (ii) achievement of the Performance-Vesting Condition has been determined by the Board at such time (the “Post- Determination Period”), then such number of PRSUs determined by the Board to have satisfied the Performance-Vesting Condition shall immediately vest, become Vested PRSUs and shall be settled in accordance with Section 4. b) Retirement. i) If the Grantee’s Service is terminated due to the Grantee’s Retirement (as defined below), the Time-Vesting Condition shall be deemed satisfied and the PRSUs shall remain outstanding and eligible to satisfy the Performance-Vesting Condition, subject to the Grantee’s (x) continued compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 5 and Section 6, (y) execution and non-revocation of a separation agreement, including a release of claims, in a form provided by the Company (and executed by deed where appropriate), within the timeframe set forth therein, but no later than thirty (30) days following the Grantee’s Retirement (the “Release Requirement”) and (z) successful completion of the Grantee’s transitional duties prior to Retirement. Subject to the foregoing conditions, any PRSUs that satisfy the Performance-Vesting Condition following the Grantee’s Retirement shall vest, become Vested PRSUs and shall be settled in accordance with Section 4; provided that, settlement shall be on or prior to March 15 of the year following the year in which the performance period set forth on Schedule 1 ends. If, following the Grantee’s Retirement and prior to settlement, the Grantee dies or a Change in Control occurs, then the PRSUs shall be subject to Section 3(a) or Section 3(c) of this Agreement (as applicable). If the Grantee fails to satisfy the Release Requirement, outstanding PRSUs shall be forfeited immediately, automatically and without consideration and the Board may require the Grantee to immediately remit to the Company any shares of Common Stock (or the fair market value thereof (as determined by the Board in its sole discretion) to the extent the Grantee no longer holds the shares of Common Stock) issued in respect of the PRSUs, and the Company shall be entitled to an award of its reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in enforcing its rights pursuant to this Section 3(b)(i). ii) Notwithstanding Section 3(b)(i), if (x) the Company receives a legal opinion stating that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in the Grantee’s jurisdiction that likely would result in Section 3(b)(i) being deemed unlawful or in violation of Section 409A, or (y) any of the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 5 and Section 6 are held by any court or governmental authority (or otherwise deemed) to be void, unlawful or


 
unenforceable with respect to the Grantee, then Section 3(b)(i) shall be void ab initio and the PRSUs shall be subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement. If the Grantee has already received shares of Common Stock as a result of Section 3(b)(i), the Board may require the Grantee to immediately remit to the Company any shares of Common Stock (or the fair market value thereof (as determined by the Board in its sole discretion) to the extent the Grantee no longer holds the shares of Common Stock), and the Company shall be entitled to an award of its reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in enforcing its rights pursuant to this Section 3(b)(ii). iii) For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” means a termination of the Grantee’s Service following Notice (as defined below), other than a termination of the Grantee’s Service for Cause or where grounds for a termination of the Grantee’s Service for Cause exist; provided that at the time of such Notice the Grantee has satisfied one (or more) of the following: (x) attainment of at least fifty-five (55) years of age and ten (10) full years of continuous Service, (y) attainment of at least sixty (60) years of age and five (5) full years of continuous Service or (z) attainment of at least sixty-five (65) years of age and two (2) full years of continuous Service, in each case, as determined by the Company’s HRIS. To invoke a termination due to Retirement, the Grantee must provide at least six (6) months prior written notice to the Grantee’s direct manager at the applicable member of the Company Group (the “Notice”) and the termination date must be at least six (6) months following the Date of Grant. c) Change in Control. i) If, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the surviving entity does not assume or substitute the PRSUs, then if such Change in Control occurs (i) during the Pre- Determination Period, the Target number of PRSUs set forth in the Memorandum (unless the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that a greater number of PRSUs shall vest and become Vested PRSUs) shall immediately vest, become Vested PRSUs and shall be settled in accordance with Section 4; or (ii) during the Post-Determination Period, then such number of PRSUs determined by the Board to have satisfied the Performance-Vesting Condition shall immediately vest, become Vested PRSUs and shall be settled in accordance with Section 4. ii) If, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the surviving entity assumes or substitutes the PRSUs, then the PRSUs shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest in accordance with Section 2 and Section 3 (as applicable); provided, however, that, in accordance with Section 10(c)(2) of the Plan, if the Grantee’s Service is terminated by a member of the Company Group (including any acquirer or successor) without Cause or by the Grantee for Good Reason, in each case, following such Change in Control but prior to the first anniversary thereof, then if such termination occurs (i) during the Pre-Determination Period, the Target number of PRSUs set forth in the Memorandum (unless the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that a greater number of PRSUs shall vest and become Vested PRSUs) shall immediately vest, become Vested PRSUs and shall be settled in accordance with Section 4; or (ii) during the Post-Determination Period, then such number of PRSUs determined by the Board to have satisfied the Performance-Vesting Condition shall immediately vest, become Vested PRSUs and shall be settled in accordance with Section 4. d) Other Terminations. Except as otherwise provided under Section 3(a), Section


 
3(b)(i) and Section 3(c)(ii) of this Agreement, upon the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason, any PRSUs that have not satisfied the Vesting Conditions as of such termination shall be forfeited immediately, automatically and without consideration (unless the Board, in its sole discretion, determines otherwise). A termination of Service shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the Grantee ceases to perform active employment duties for the Company Group, regardless of any notice period, salary continuation period or other severance period. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, this Agreement or any other agreement between any member of the Company Group and the Grantee to the contrary, the Grantee shall not be entitled to any compensation for the loss of any rights under the Plan or this Agreement as a result of the termination of the Grantee’s Service. 4) Settlement. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3(b)(i), as soon as practicable following the applicable Vesting Date, but no later than thirty (30) days following such Vesting Date, the Company shall deliver to the Grantee, for each Vested PRSU, one (1) share of Common Stock, subject to any terms and conditions set forth in the Plan or imposed by the Board. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be delivered and any fractions shall be rounded down. 5) Confidential and Proprietary Information. a) The Grantee acknowledges that in connection with the Grantee’s Service, the Grantee is placed in a position of confidence and trust with the Company Group and in line with that position has and will continue to have access to information of a nature not generally disclosed to the public. The Grantee agrees to keep confidential and not: (i) use or (ii) disclose to anyone any Confidential and Proprietary Information, except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company Group, as required by law or as authorized by the Board of Directors. “Confidential and Proprietary Information” includes but is not limited to all the Company Group’s trade secrets, business and strategic plans, financial details, computer programs, manuals, contracts, current and prospective client and supplier lists, and all other documentation, business knowledge, data, material, property and supplier lists, and developments owned, possessed or controlled by the Company Group, regardless of whether possessed or developed by the Grantee in the course of the Grantee’s Service. Such Confidential and Proprietary Information may or may not be designated as confidential or proprietary and may be oral, written or electronic media. The Grantee understands that such information is owned and shall continue to be owned solely by the Company Group, and hereby represents that the Grantee has not and will not disclose, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any Confidential and Proprietary Information. The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee has complied and will continue to comply with this commitment, both as an employee and after the termination of the Grantee’s Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential and Proprietary Information does not include any information that: (1) is already in the public domain or becomes available to the public through no breach by the Grantee of this Agreement; (2) was lawfully in the Grantee’s possession prior to disclosure to the Grantee by the Company Group; (3) is lawfully disclosed to the Grantee by a third party (other than any member of the Company Group, or any of its representatives, agents or employees) without any obligations of confidentiality attaching to such


 
disclosure; (4) is developed by the Grantee entirely on the Grantee’s own time without the Company Group’s equipment, supplies or facilities and does not relate at the time of conception to the Company Group’s business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development; or (5) is lawfully acquired by a non-supervisory employee about wages, hours or other terms and conditions of employment when used for purposes protected by §7 of the National Labor Relations Act such as discussing wages, benefits or terms and conditions of employment, or other legally protected concerted activity for mutual aid or protection of laborers. Information shall not be deemed to be in the public domain merely because any part of said information is embodied in general disclosures or because individual features, components, or combinations thereof are now or become known to the public or are in the public domain. b) The provisions in this Agreement do not prohibit the Grantee from communicating with any governmental authority or making a report in good faith and with a reasonable belief of any violations of law or regulation to a governmental authority, or from testifying or participating in a legal proceeding relating to such violations, including providing documents or information or making other disclosures protected or required by any whistleblower law or regulation to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Department of Labor, or any other appropriate government authority. This may include disclosure of trade secret or confidential information within the limitations permitted by the 2016 Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA). The Grantee understands, agrees and acknowledges that under the DTSA, (1) no individual will be held criminally or civilly liable under Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret (as defined in the Economic Espionage Act) that: (A) is made in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and made solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal so that it is not made public; and (2) an individual who pursues a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of the law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and does not disclose the trade secret, except as permitted by court order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee expressly agrees to honor the confidentiality obligations in this Agreement and will only share Confidential and Proprietary Information with the Grantee’s attorney or with the government agency or entity in accordance with this Section 5. Further, nothing in this Agreement limits or affects Grantee’s right to disclose or discuss sexual harassment or sexual assault disputes. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to permit or condone unlawful conduct, including but not limited to the theft or misappropriation of Company Group’s property, trade secrets or information. 6) Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. In consideration of the promises contained herein and the Grantee’s access and exposure to Confidential and Proprietary Information provided to the Grantee, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Grantee agrees that during the Grantee’s Service and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of Service due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the Vesting Date (in each case, except with respect to Section 5(f), which restrictions apply in perpetuity), the Grantee shall not, on behalf of the


 
Grantee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, entity or organization other than the Company Group, whether as an agent or otherwise: a) Contact, call on, provide advice to, solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group with whom the Grantee directly performed any services or had any direct business contact; b) Contact, call on, provide advice to, solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group whose entity- or other customer-specific information the Grantee discovered or gained access to as a result of the Grantee’s access to Company Group’s Confidential and Proprietary Information; c) Utilize the Company Group’s Confidential and Proprietary Information to solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group; d) Solicit or induce, either directly or indirectly, any employee of the Company Group to leave the employ of any member of the Company Group or become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than the Company Group; or take any action to assist any subsequent employer or any other person, entity or organization, either directly or indirectly, in soliciting or inducing any employee of a member of the Company Group to leave the employ of such member of the Company Group or become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than a member of the Company Group; or hire or employ, or assist in the hiring or employment of, either directly or indirectly, any individual employed by a member of the Company Group within sixty (60) days preceding that individual’s hire by the Grantee or the Grantee’s subsequent employer; e) Become employed by, render services to or directly or indirectly (whether for compensation or otherwise, and whether as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, lender, investor, corporate officer, board member, director, or in any other individual or representative capacity), own or hold a proprietary interest in, manage, operate, or control, or join or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or furnish any capital to or be connected in any manner with, any Competing Enterprise. For purposes of this Section 6(e), a “Competing Enterprise” means any entity, organization or person engaged, or planning to become engaged, in substantially the same or similar business to that being conducted or actively and specifically planned to be conducted during the Grantee’s Service or within six (6) months after the Grantee’s termination of Service, owned or controlled. It includes, without limitation: (i) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being involved in providing any products or services relating to transaction or payment processing, including those for the benefit of fleets; travel; healthcare; education; payroll; or, benefits through charge cards, credit cards, procurement cards or any other form of payment services or electronic commerce; (ii) the sale, distribution or publication of petroleum product pricing or management information or other products or services currently sold or to the


 
best of the Grantee’s knowledge contemplated to be sold by the Company or any of its owned or controlled subsidiaries, and (iii) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being involved in providing commercial travel, entertainment and purchasing credit cards. The restrictions in this Section 6 shall be effective and binding only to the extent permissible under Rule 5.6 of the Maine Rules of Professional Conduct or any similar rule governing the practice of law that is applicable to the Grantee. The restrictions in this Section 6 shall not be construed to prevent the Grantee from, following the termination of the Grantee’s Service, working for a business entity that does not compete with the Company Group simply because the entity is affiliated with a Competing Enterprise, so long as the entity is operationally separate and distinct from the Competing Enterprise and the Grantee’s job responsibilities at that entity are unrelated to the Competing Enterprise. The restrictions in this Section 6 will not apply to employment by or the rendering of services to businesses that sell fuel or convenience items if those businesses are not directly competing with the Company Group, owned or controlled. The restrictions in this Section 6 shall also not be deemed to prohibit the Grantee from owning not more than one percent (1%) of the total shares of all classes of stock of any publicly held company. The Grantee acknowledges that the Company Group’s businesses are conducted internationally and agrees that the provisions in this Section 6 shall operate in any country in which the Company Group conducts business while the Grantee is/was employed by a member of the Company Group; and/or f) Subject to Section 5(b), and except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company Group in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise explicitly directed in writing by an officer of the Company, directly or through others: (a) provide any confidential information, including any information derived from the Grantee’s experience with the Company Group, to (i) any competitor of the Company Group, (ii) any person the Grantee knows or has reason to believe may be an investor or prospective investor in the Company Group, (iii) a member of the media, (iv) any prospective acquirer of any member of the Company Group, (v) any litigant or potential litigant against any member of the Company Group, (vi) any other person seeking information regarding the Company Group (including, without limitation, information with respect to its business, executives, directors, balance sheet, history, prospects or opportunities) or seeking to change or influence the control of the Company Group, or (vii) any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing (any such person described in clauses (i) to (vii), a “Potential Adverse Party”); (b) make, publicly or privately, any statements that disparage, or could otherwise cause harm to, the business or reputation of any member of the Company Group and/or any current or former officer, director or employee of any member of the Company Group; (c) join a “group” or become a “participant” in a solicitation with respect to the Company Group (other than a solicitation by the Board of Directors), as those terms are defined in applicable securities laws; and (d) aid, encourage, advise or otherwise provide assistance to any Potential Adverse Party in (i) asserting, prosecuting or defending any claim, action or proceeding against any member of the Company Group, (ii) undertaking a proxy contest, withhold campaign or other shareholder activism campaign or proxy solicitation against any member of the Company Group, (iii) proposing to acquire any member of the Company Group or any of its assets or (iv) making any other demands of any member of the Company Group. If the Grantee is contacted by any Potential Adverse Party, the Grantee shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Company’s Chief Legal Officer (the “CLO”), and shall not discuss the Company Group with any such Potential Adverse Party without prior written approval from the CLO.


 
The Company Group has previously entered into agreements with certain executives and employees that contain restrictive covenants (“Restrictions”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee is party to an employment or other agreement containing Restrictions on (a) confidentiality, (b) solicitation of customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group, (c) solicitation or hire of the employees of any member of the Company Group, and/or (d) competition (collectively, “Existing Restrictions”), any such Existing Restrictions will remain in effect and the Grantee shall remain bound by such Existing Restrictions. To the extent the restrictions contained in Section 5 and Section 6 of this Agreement conflict in any way with any Existing Restriction(s), such conflict shall be resolved by giving effect to the provision that provides the greatest protection to the Company Group that is enforceable under applicable law. The Grantee agrees and acknowledges that the period of time, geographical scope, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this Agreement are fair, and reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company Group. The Grantee also acknowledges that in the event the Grantee breaches any part of Section 5 and Section 6 of this Agreement, the damages to the Company Group would be irreparable. Therefore, in addition to monetary damages and/or reasonable attorney fees, the Company Group shall have the right to seek injunctive and/or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement. Further, the Grantee consents to the issuance of a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of any proceeding. The Grantee further understands and agrees that if the Grantee breaches any covenant set forth in Section 6, the duration of any covenant so breached shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, automatically be tolled from the date of the first breach until the date judicial relief providing effective remedy for such breach or breaches is obtained by the Company Group, or until the Company Group states in writing that it will seek no judicial relief for such breach. If any one or more provisions of Section 5 and Section 6 shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to time, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed, by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the greatest extent compatible with applicable law as it shall then appear, and the parties expressly agree that any of the provisions of Section 5 and Section 6 may be reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled to make such provision enforceable, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the parties consent to the enforcement of such provision as so reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled. The Grantee agrees, during (i) the twelve (12) month period following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of Service due to Retirement, the twelve (12) month period following the Vesting Date, to disclose to the Company Group, in writing, any person or entity with whom the Grantee becomes employed, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated, the Grantee’s date of hire or engagement, the Grantee’s job title, and a complete description of the Grantee’s duties. The Grantee agrees to make such disclosure to the Company Group no later than the date on which the Grantee accepts or otherwise agrees to become employed by, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated with such person or entity.


 
During the Grantee’s Service and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of Service due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the Vesting Date, the Grantee will provide any person or entity that the Grantee seeks an offer of employment or other engagement or retention from notice of the existence of this Agreement and the terms of Section 5 and Section 6 before requesting or accepting such an offer. If the Grantee fails to provide such notice, the Grantee understands that the Grantee may be held liable for any consequential damages resulting from such failure. The Grantee agrees that the Company Group may send a copy of this Agreement to, or otherwise make the provisions of Section 5 and Section 6 of this Agreement known to, any of the Grantee’s potential and future employers or other entity considering engaging the Grantee or which has engaged or employed the Grantee. The Grantee agrees not to assert any claim that such conduct by the Company Group is legally actionable interference or otherwise impermissible regardless of whether or not the provisions of Section 5 and Section 6 are later found to be enforceable in whole or in part. Mindful of the obligations set forth in Section 5 and Section 6, upon termination of the Grantee’s Service, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company Group. 7) Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Beneficiaries. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Grantee shall not be permitted to transfer or assign this Agreement or the PRSUs, except as expressly permitted under the Plan. The Company may assign this Agreement to an entity controlled by or under common control with the Company or to an entity that acquires all or substantially all of the business, equity or assets of the Company. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company Group and its successors and assigns and upon the Grantee and the Grantee’s heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer on any person other than the Company Group and the Grantee, and their respective heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement. 8) Withholding. As a condition to the granting of the PRSUs, the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee is responsible for the payment of income and employment taxes (and any other taxes) payable in connection with the vesting and/or settlement of the PRSUs.

The granting of the PRSUs shall impose no obligation on any member of the Company Group to continue the Service of the Grantee and shall not interfere in any way with the right of any member of the Company Group to terminate such Service. 10) Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action or other matters that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflict or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation thereof to the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. 11) Consent to Jurisdiction.

The Company and the Grantee hereby consent to service of process in any such proceeding, and agree that service of process by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at the Grantee’s address specified pursuant to Section 15 is reasonably calculated to give actual notice. 12) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES AND COVENANTS THAT THE GRANTEE SHALL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE OR ACTION, CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION OR SUIT (IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE), INQUIRY, PROCEEDING OR INVESTIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IN EACH CASE

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company intends that the PRSUs qualify as exempt from the requirements of Section 409A. In the event that the PRSUs do not qualify as exempt from Section 409A, it is intended that the PRSUs will satisfy the requirements of Section 409A. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with that intent, such that there are no adverse tax consequences, interest or penalties under Section 409A as a result of the PRSUs. In no event whatsoever will any member of the Company Group or any of their respective directors, officers, agents, attorneys, employees, shareholders, investors, managers, fiduciaries, successors or assigns be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on the Grantee under Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A. 14) No Guarantees Regarding Tax Treatment. Grantee (or Grantee’s beneficiaries) shall be responsible for all taxes with respect to the PRSUs. The Board and the Company make no guarantees regarding the tax treatment of the PRSUs.

The amount of any compensation the Grantee receives pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute includable compensation for purposes of determining the amount of benefits to which the Grantee is entitled to under any other compensation or benefit plan or program of the Company Group, including, without limitation, under any pension or severance benefits plan, except to the extent specifically provided by the terms of any such plan or as otherwise expressly required under applicable law. 17) Failure to Enforce Not a Waiver. The failure of the Company to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof. 18) Recoupment/Clawback. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, any amounts paid (in cash or non-cash) to the Grantee under this Agreement that are subject to recovery under any current or future law, government


 
regulation, stock exchange listing requirement, or policy of the Company Group (“Company Policy”), will be recouped and recovered by the Company pursuant to such law, government regulation, stock exchange listing requirement, or Company Policy unless such Company Policy violates the laws of the State of Delaware. 19) Amendments. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate this Agreement, the Plan, or any portion thereof at any time, in its sole discretion; provided, that no action taken by the Board shall adversely affect in any material respect any rights granted to the Grantee under this Agreement (other than pursuant to Article 10 of the Plan or as the Board deems necessary to comply with applicable law, including without limitation, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Section 409A) without the Grantee’s written consent. No amendment or modification of any term of this Agreement shall be effective unless signed in writing by or on behalf of the Company and, if required, the Grantee, and made in accordance with the terms of the Plan. 20) Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and the invalidity of any one or more provisions shall not affect the validity of any other provision. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof is unenforceable in whole or in part because of the duration or scope thereof, the parties hereto agree that said court in making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and scope of such provision to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, and that the Agreement in its reduced form shall be valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted by law. 21) Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including Exhibit A), the Memorandum and the Plan constitute the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous arrangements, agreements and understandings, whether oral or written and whether express or implied, and whether in term sheets, presentations or otherwise, among the parties hereto, or between any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, that, the Grantee shall continue to be bound by any other confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation and other similar restrictive covenants contained in any other agreements between the Grantee and the Company, its affiliates and their respective predecessors to which the Grantee is bound. 22) Authority.

SCHEDULE 1 Performance-Vesting Condition


 
EXHIBIT A Country and State Specific Provisions This Exhibit A includes special terms and conditions applicable to Awards granted to such Grantee under the Plan if the Grantee resides and/or works in one of the jurisdictions listed below. These terms and conditions are in addition to or, if so indicated, in replacement of the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement. This Exhibit A also includes information regarding Confidential and Proprietary Information, Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and certain other issues of which the Grantee should be aware with respect to the Grantee’s receipt of the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units and participation in the Plan. The information is based on the exchange control, securities and other laws in effect in the respective jurisdictions as of March 2024. However, such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Grantee not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the Grantee vests in the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units, acquires shares (or the cash equivalent) or sells the Common Stock acquired under the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units. In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Grantee’s particular situation and the Company is not in a position to assure the Grantee of any particular result. Accordingly, the Grantee is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Grantee’s jurisdiction may apply to the Grantee’s situation. Finally, if the Grantee is a citizen or resident of a jurisdiction other than the one in which the Grantee is currently residing and/or working, transfers employment and/or residency to another jurisdiction after the Award is granted or is considered a resident of another jurisdiction for local law purposes, the terms and conditions and notifications contained herein may not be applicable to the Grantee. The Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions included herein will apply under these circumstances.


 
Australia Termination; Change in Control The following provisions replace Sub-Section 3(d) of the Agreement in its entirety: 3(d) Other Terminations. Except as otherwise provided under Section 3(a), Section 3(b)(i) and Section 3(c)(ii) of this Agreement, upon the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason, any PRSUs that have not satisfied the Vesting Conditions as of such termination shall be forfeited immediately, automatically and without consideration (unless the Board, in its sole discretion, determines otherwise). A termination of Service shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the Grantee ceases to be employed and inclusive of any notice period whether worked or paid in lieu, but excluding any salary continuation period or redundancy payment period. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, this Agreement or any other agreement between any member of the Company Group and the Grantee to the contrary, the Grantee shall not be entitled to any compensation for the loss of any rights under the Plan or this Agreement as a result of the termination of the Grantee’s Service. Confidential and Proprietary Information: The following provisions replace Section 5 of the Agreement in its entirety: 5. Confidential and Proprietary Information. The Grantee acknowledges that in connection with the Grantee’s Service, the Grantee is placed in a position of confidence and trust with the Company Group, and in line with that position has and will continue to have access to information of a nature not generally disclosed to the public. The Grantee agrees to keep confidential and not: (i) use or (ii) disclose to anyone any Confidential and Proprietary Information, except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company Group, as required by law or as authorized by the Board of Directors. “Confidential and Proprietary Information” includes but is not limited to all Company Group trade secrets, business and strategic plans, financial details, computer programs, manuals, contracts, current and prospective client and supplier lists, and all other documentation, business knowledge, data, material, property and supplier lists, and developments owned, possessed or controlled by the Company Group, regardless of whether possessed or developed by the Grantee in the course of the Grantee’s employment. Such Confidential and Proprietary Information may or may not be designated as confidential or proprietary and may be oral, written or electronic media. The Grantee understands that such information is owned and shall continue to be owned solely by the Company, and hereby represents that the Grantee has not and will not disclose, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any Confidential and Proprietary Information. The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee has complied and will continue to comply with this commitment, both as an employee and after the termination of the Grantee’s employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential and Proprietary Information does not include any information that: (1) is already in the public domain or becomes available to the public through no breach by the Grantee of this Agreement; (2) was lawfully in the Grantee’s possession prior to disclosure to the Grantee by the Company Group; (3) is lawfully disclosed to the Grantee by a third party (other than the Company, or any of its representatives, agents or employees) without any obligations of confidentiality attaching to such disclosure; or (4) is developed by the Grantee


 
entirely on the Grantee’s own time without the Company Group’s equipment, supplies or facilities and does not relate at the time of conception to the Company Group’s business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development; or (5) is information pertaining to Grantee’s pay or employment terms and conditions if the information is disclosed voluntarily by the Grantee, subject to any additional confidentiality restrictions relating to pay and/or the terms and conditions of employment. Information shall not be deemed to be in the public domain merely because any part of said information is embodied in general disclosures or because individual features, components, or combinations thereof are now or become known to the public or are in the public domain. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation: The following provisions replace Section 6 of the Agreement in its entirety: 6. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. In consideration of the promises contained herein and the Grantee’s access and exposure to Confidential and Proprietary Information provided to the Grantee, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Grantee agrees that during the Grantee’s Service and for the Restraint Period following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason, the Grantee shall not, on behalf of the Grantee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, entity or organization other than the Company, whether as an agent or otherwise: (a) Contact, provide unsolicited advice to, solicit, attempt to take away business where a customer or client has not made contact of their own free-will, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group with whom the Grantee directly performed any services or had any direct business contact within the last 12 months of their employment with the Company; (b) In the Restraint Area, contact, provide unsolicited advice to, solicit, attempt to take away business where a customer or client has not made contact of their own free-will, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group whose entity- or other customer- specific information the Grantee had direct access to and contact with, within the last 12 months of their employment with the Company, as a result of the Grantee’s access to Company Confidential and Proprietary Information; (c) Solicit or induce, either directly or indirectly, any employee of the Company Group with whom the Grantee had a business relationship and/or dealings to leave the employ of the Company Group or become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than the Company Group; or take any action to assist any subsequent employer or any other person, entity or organization, either directly or indirectly, in soliciting or inducing any Company employee to leave the employ of the Company Group become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than the Company Group; or hire or employ, or assist in the hiring or employment of, either directly or indirectly, any individual employed by the Company Group;


 
(d) In the Restraint Area, become employed by, render services to or directly or indirectly (whether for compensation or otherwise, and whether as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, lender, investor, corporate officer, board member, director, or in any other individual or representative capacity) own or hold a proprietary interest in, manage, operate, or control, or join or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or furnish any capital to or be connected in any manner with, any Competing Enterprise. For purposes of this Sub-Section 5(d), a “Competing Enterprise” means any entity, organization or person engaged, or planning to become engaged, in substantially the same or similar business to that being conducted or actively and specifically planned to be conducted during the Grantee’s Service, and of which the Grantee was aware. It includes, without limitation: (i) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being involved in providing any products or services relating to transaction or payment processing, including those for the benefit of fleets; travel; healthcare; education; payroll; or, benefits through charge cards, credit cards, procurement cards or any other form of payment services or electronic commerce; (ii) the sale, distribution or publication of petroleum product pricing or management information or other products or services currently sold or to the best of the Grantee’s knowledge contemplated to be sold by the Company or any of its owned or controlled subsidiaries, and (iii) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being involved in providing commercial travel, entertainment and purchasing credit cards. Furthermore, the restrictions in this Section shall not be construed to prevent the Grantee from, following the termination of the Grantee’s Service, working for a business entity that does not compete with the Company or its subsidiaries simply because the entity is affiliated with a Competing Enterprise, so long as the entity is operationally separate and distinct from the Competing Enterprise and the Grantee’s job responsibilities at that entity are unrelated to the Competing Enterprise. The restrictions in this Section will not apply to employment by or the rendering of services to businesses that sell fuel or convenience items if those businesses are not directly competing with the Company or its subsidiaries, owned or controlled. The restrictions in this Section shall also not be deemed to prohibit the Grantee from owning not more than one percent (1%) of the total shares of all classes of stock of any publicly held company; and/or (e) Subject to Section 5, and except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise explicitly directed in writing by an officer of the Company, directly or through others: (a) provide any confidential information, including any information derived from the Grantee’s experience with the Company, to (i) any competitor of the Company, (ii) any person the Grantee knows or has reason to believe may be an investor or prospective investor in the Company, (iii) a member of the media, (iv) any prospective acquirer of the Company, (v) any litigant or potential litigant against the Company, (vi) any other person seeking information regarding the Company (including, without limitation, information with respect to its business, executives, directors, balance sheet, history, prospects or opportunities) or seeking to change


 
or influence the control of the Company, or (vii) any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing (any such person described in clauses (i) to (vii), a “Potential Adverse Party”); (b) make, publicly or privately, any statements that disparage, or could otherwise cause harm to, the business or reputation of the Company and/or any current or former officer, director or employee of the Company; (c) join a “group” or become a “participant” in a solicitation with respect to the Company (other than a solicitation by the Board of Directors), as those terms are defined in applicable securities laws; and (d) to the extent permitted by law, aid, encourage, advise or otherwise provide assistance to any Potential Adverse Party in (i) asserting, prosecuting or defending any claim, action or proceeding against the Company, (ii) undertaking a proxy contest, withhold campaign or other shareholder activism campaign or proxy solicitation against the Company, (iii) proposing to acquire the Company or any of its assets or subsidiaries or (iv) making any other demands of the Company. If the Grantee is contacted by any Potential Adverse Party, the Grantee shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Company’s Chief Legal Officer (the “CLO”), and shall not discuss the Company with any such Potential Adverse Party without prior written approval from the CLO. For the purposes of this Section 6, “Restraint Period” means: (1) Twelve (12) months from the Grantee’s last day of Service, or if a court holds this period to be unreasonable or invalid, then: (2) Nine (9) months from the Grantee’s last day of Service, or if a court holds this period to be unreasonable or invalid, then: (3) Six (6) months from the Grantee’s last day of Service. For the purposes of this Section 6, “Restraint Area” means: (1) Australia, or if a court holds this geographical scope to be unreasonable or invalid for any reason, then: (2) Victoria, New South Wales and/or any other state, territory and/or location in which the Company or any other company in the WEX group conducts business during Grantee’s Service and in which the Grantee was involved and/or held relationships with clients of the WEX group within these states, or if a court holds this geographical scope to be unreasonable or invalid for any reason, then; (3) The state where the Grantee was employed. For the purposes of this Section 6, the parties understand and agree that the “Company” means WEX Inc. and any of its “related body corporate” as defined by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) as amended from time to time. The Company Group have previously entered into agreements with certain executives and employees that contain restrictive covenants (“Restrictions”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee is party to an employment or other agreement containing Restrictions on (a) confidentiality, (b) solicitation of customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group, (c) solicitation or hire of Company employees, and/or (d) competition (collectively, “Existing Restrictions”), any such Existing Restrictions will


 
remain in effect and the Grantee shall remain bound by such Existing Restrictions, rather than the Restrictions contained in this Section 6. The Grantee agrees and acknowledges that the Restraint Period, Restraint Area, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this Agreement are fair, and reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company. The Grantee also acknowledges that in the event the Grantee breaches any part of Sections 5 or 6, the damages to the Company and its subsidiaries would be irreparable. Therefore, in addition to monetary damages and/or legal costs, the Company shall have the right to seek specific performance, an injunction and/or other equitable relief as appropriate in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement. Further, the Grantee consents to the issuance of an interim injunction to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of any proceeding. The Grantee further understands and agrees that if the Grantee breaches any covenant set forth in Section 6, the duration of any covenant so breached shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, automatically be tolled from the date of the first breach until the date judicial relief providing effective remedy for such breach or breaches is obtained by the Company, or until the Company states in writing that it will seek no judicial relief for such breach. Each restrictive covenant in this Section 6 (resulting from any combination of the wording in this Section 6, including the relevant definitions) constitutes a separate restrictive covenant that is severable from the other restrictive covenants. If any one or more provisions of this Section 6 shall for any reason be held to be void, voidable, unenforceable or illegal by a court or tribunal as to the Restraint Period, Restraint Area, activity or subject, because it goes beyond what is reasonable to protect the Company Group’s business or for any other reason, then that part will be severed and the other restrictive covenants will remain in full force and effect to the greatest extent permitted by law. The Grantee agrees that the Company may send a copy of this Agreement to, or otherwise make the provisions of Sections 5 or 6of this Agreement known to, any of the Grantee’s potential and future employers or other entity considering engaging the Grantee or which has engaged or employed the Grantee where such engagement would breach the terms of this Agreement. The Grantee agrees not to assert any claim that such conduct by the Company is legally actionable interference or otherwise impermissible regardless of whether or not the provisions of Sections 5 or 6are later found to be enforceable in whole or in part. The Grantee understands, acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee has been provided with an opportunity to seek independent legal advice before deciding whether or not to enter into this Agreement and that the Grantee has made the decision on the Grantee’s own accord to agree to the restrictive covenants contained within this Section 6 in exchange for the consideration that the Company is providing as outlined herein. Mindful of the obligations set forth in Sections 5 and 6, upon termination of the Grantee’s employment, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company. No Rights to Continued Service: The following provision supplements Section 9 of the Agreement:


 
The grant of Awards under the Plan is made at the discretion of the Company and the Plan may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time. The grant of an Award in one (1) year or at one time does not in any way entitle the Grantee to an Award in the future. The Plan is wholly discretionary and is not to be considered part of the Grantee's normal or expected compensation subject to severance, resignation, redundancy or similar compensation. The value of the Award is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of the Grantee's employment contract (if any). Tax Information: The following provisions replace Section 13 of the Agreement in its entirety: 13) Tax Information. The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Ctch) applies (subject to the conditions in that Act). Imposition of Other Requirements: 26) Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, on the Award and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. Securities Law Information: 27) Securities Law Information. The grant of the Award is being made pursuant to Division 1A, Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). If the Grantee offers shares of Company Stock for sale to a person or entity resident in Australia, the offer may be subject to disclosure requirements under Australian law. The Grantee personally should obtain legal advice on applicable disclosure obligations prior to making any such offer. Belgium Award: The reference under Section 1 (Award) to Section 6 should be read as a reference to Section 6, Sub-Section 6bis and Sub-Section 6ter. Confidential and Proprietary Information: The following provisions replace Section 5 of the Agreement in its entirety: 5. Confidential and Proprietary Information. The Grantee acknowledges that in connection with the Grantee’s Service, the Grantee is placed in a position of confidence and trust with the Company Group, and, in line with that position, has and will continue to have access to information of a nature not generally disclosed to the public. The Grantee agrees to keep confidential and not: (i) use or (ii) disclose to anyone any Confidential and Proprietary Information, except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company Group, as required by law or as authorized by the Board of Directors. “Confidential and Proprietary Information” includes, but is not limited to, all Company Group’s trade secrets, business and


 
strategic plans, financial details, computer programs, manuals, contracts, current and prospective client and supplier lists, and all other documentation, business knowledge, data, material, property and supplier lists, and developments owned, possessed or controlled by the Company Group, regardless of whether possessed or developed by the Grantee in the course of the Grantee’s Service. Such Confidential and Proprietary Information may or may not be designated as confidential or proprietary and may be oral, written or electronic media. The Grantee understands that such information is owned and shall continue to be owned solely by the Company Group, and hereby represents that the Grantee has not disclosed and will not disclose, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any Confidential and Proprietary Information. The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee has complied and will continue to comply with this commitment, both as an employee and after the termination of the Grantee’s Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential and Proprietary Information does not include any information that: (1) is already in the public domain or becomes available to the public through no breach by the Grantee of this Agreement; (2) was lawfully in the Grantee’s possession prior to disclosure to the Grantee by the Company Group; (3) is lawfully disclosed to the Grantee by a third party (other than any member of the Company Group, or any of its representatives, agents or employees) without any obligations of confidentiality attaching to such disclosure; or (4) is developed by the Grantee entirely on the Grantee’s own time without the Company Group’s equipment, supplies or facilities and does not relate at the time of conception to the Company Group’s business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development. Information shall not be deemed to be in the public domain merely because any part of said information is embodied in general disclosures or because individual features, components, or combinations thereof are now or become known to the public or are in the public domain. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation: The following provisions replace Section 6 of the Agreement in its entirety: 6.1 Definitions: 6.1.1 “Restricted Period” means the period commencing on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Grantee’s Service terminates for any reason other than Retirement; (ii) the date when the Grantee commences garden leave; or (iii) in the event of termination of Service due to Retirement, the Vesting Date, and continuing for twelve (12) months thereafter. 6.2 Non-Solicitation and Disclosure. In consideration of the promises contained herein and the Grantee’s access and exposure to Confidential and Proprietary Information provided to the Grantee, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Grantee agrees that during the Grantee’s Service, during any period between Retirement and the Vesting Date (if applicable) and during the Restricted Period, the Grantee shall not, on behalf of the Grantee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, entity or organization other than the Company Group, whether as an agent or otherwise: (a) Contact, call on, provide advice to, solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons


 
of the Company Group with whom the Grantee directly performed any services or had any direct business contact; (b) Contact, call on, provide advice to, solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group whose entity- or other customer-specific information the Grantee discovered or gained access to as a result of the Grantee’s access to Company Group’s Confidential and Proprietary Information; (c) Utilize the Company Group’s Confidential and Proprietary Information to solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group; or (d) Solicit or induce, either directly or indirectly, any employee of the Company Group to leave the employ of any member of the Company Group or become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than the Company Group; or take any action to assist any subsequent employer or any other person, entity or organization, either directly or indirectly, in soliciting or inducing any employee of a member of the Company Group to leave the employ of such member of the Company Group or any company or entity of the WEX Group or become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than a member of the Company Group; or hire or employ, or assist in the hiring or employment of, either directly or indirectly, any individual employed by a member of the Company Group within sixty (60) days preceding that individual’s hire by the Grantee or the Grantee’s subsequent employer. 6.3 Subject to the reporting of possible violations of the securities laws to the Belgian supervisory authority, the Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA), and except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company Group in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise explicitly directed in writing by an officer of the Company Group, directly or through others, the Grantee agrees to keep confidential and not: (a) provide any confidential information, including any information derived from the Grantee’s experience with the Company Group, to (i) any competitor of the Company Group, (ii) any person the Grantee knows or has reason to believe may be an investor or prospective investor in the Company Group, (iii) a member of the media, (iv) any prospective acquirer of any member of the Company Group, (v) any litigant or potential litigant against any member of the Company Group, (vi) any other person seeking information regarding the Company Group (including, without limitation, information with respect to its business, executives, directors, balance sheet, history, prospects or opportunities) or seeking to change or influence the control of the Company Group, or (vii) any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing (any such person described in clauses (i) to (vii), a “Potential Adverse Party”); (b) make, publicly or privately, any statements that disparage, or could otherwise cause harm to, the business or reputation of any member of the Company Group and/or any current or former officer, director or employee of any member of the Company Group; (c) join a

If the Grantee is contacted by any Potential Adverse Party, the Grantee shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Company’s Chief Legal Officer (the “CLO”), and shall not discuss the Company Group with any such Potential Adverse Party without prior written approval from the CLO. 6.4 The Grantee agrees that the Restricted Period will not apply to Sub-Section 6.3 and the Grantee’s obligations under Sub-Section 6.3 will continue in perpetuity. 6bis. Non-Competition. In consideration of the promises contained herein and the Grantee’s access and exposure to Confidential and Proprietary Information provided to the Grantee, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Grantee agrees that during the Grantee’s employment with the Company Group, during any period between Retirement and the Vesting Date (if applicable) and during the Restricted Period , the Grantee shall not, on behalf of the Grantee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, entity or organization other than the Company or any company or entity of the WEX Group, whether as an agent or otherwise: become employed by, render services to or directly or indirectly (whether for compensation or otherwise, and whether as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, lender, investor, corporate officer, board member, director, or in any other individual or representative capacity), own or hold a proprietary interest in, manage, operate, or control, or join or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or furnish any capital to or be connected in any manner with, any Competing Enterprise. For purposes of this Sub-Section (6bis), a “Competing Enterprise” means any entity, organization or person engaged, or planning to become engaged, in substantially the same or similar business to that being conducted or actively and specifically planned to be conducted during the Grantee’s employment with the Company or any company or entity of the WEX Group or within six (6) months after the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company or any company or entity of the WEX Group. It includes, without limitation: (i) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being involved in providing any products or services relating to transaction or payment processing, including those for the benefit of fleets; travel; healthcare; education; payroll; or, benefits through charge cards, credit cards, procurement cards or any other form of payment services or electronic commerce; (ii) the sale, distribution or publication of petroleum product pricing or management information or other products or services currently sold or to the best of the Grantee’s knowledge contemplated to be sold by the Company or any of its owned or controlled subsidiaries, and (iii) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being involved in providing commercial travel, entertainment and purchasing credit cards.


 
If notwithstanding the severability provisions in the Agreement, Sub-Section 6(bis) as set out above would be considered to be null and void, the Company, acting on behalf of the employer, and the Grantee, agree to be bound by the following provision if the Grantee does not qualify as a sales representative (the “Belgian Alternative Provision 1”): 6bis. Non-Competition. In view of the employer’s international field of activity, after the Grantee has left the employer and even if the Grantee’s seniority would be inferior to six (6) months, except in case of termination of the employment by the Grantee for serious cause, the Grantee shall, during the Grantee’s employment with any member of the Company Group, during any period between Retirement and the Vesting Date (if applicable) and during the Restricted Period, on the territory specified below, be prohibited from exercising similar activities, either by running a personal enterprise or by being hired or engaged by a competing employer and having thus the opportunity of causing a prejudice to the employer by using for himself/herself or for the profit of a competitor, the Grantee’s knowledge of any practice specific to the employer which the Grantee has acquired on an industrial or commercial level during the Grantee’s employment. The prohibition referred to in this Sub-Section 6bis applies to the territory of Belgium and the Netherlands. The Grantee accepts that this territory is automatically extended to the countries in which the Grantee would also be active in the last thirty-six (36) months prior to the day of termination of the employment. If the non-competition obligation of this Sub-Section 6bis applies, a one off and lump sum indemnity will be paid to the Grantee, unless the employer waives the application of this clause within fifteen (15) days following the termination of the employment. This indemnity will amount to half of the gross salary for the term of the effective application of the non-competition obligation. If the non-competition obligation of this Sub-Section 6bis applies and if the Grantee fails to comply with its provisions, the Grantee will reimburse to the employer the indemnity the Grantee received and, in addition thereto, the Grantee will pay an equivalent amount as damages, without prejudice to the employer’s right to claim any additional damages. If, notwithstanding the severability provisions in the Agreement, the Belgian Alternative Provision 1 would also be considered to be null and void, the Company, acting on behalf of the employer, and the Grantee, agree to be bound by the following provision if the Grantee does not qualify as a sales representative (the “Belgian Alternative Provision 2”): 6bis. Non-Competition. The Grantee undertakes, during the course of the employment relationship and for a period of twelve (12) months following the end of the employment, not to perform, in Belgium, any activities which are similar to those exercised by the Grantee at the employer, either in the framework of a competing activity for the Grantee's own account, or directly or indirectly for any competitor of the employer. If the non-competition obligation of this article applies, a one off and lump sum indemnity will be paid to the Grantee, unless the employer waives the application of this clause within fifteen (15) days following the termination of the employment. This indemnity will amount to half of the gross salary for the term of the effective application of the non-competition obligation.


 
If the non-competition obligation of this article applies and if the Grantee fails to comply with its provisions, the Grantee will reimburse to the employer the indemnity the Grantee received and, in addition thereto, the Grantee will pay an equivalent amount as damages, without prejudice to the employer’s right to claim any additional damages. The non-competition obligation of this article will have no effect in case of termination of the employment either during the first six (6) months of the employment, or, afterwards, by the employer for a reason other than serious cause, or by the Grantee for serious cause. If, notwithstanding the severability provisions in the Agreement, Sub-Section 6bis as set out above would be considered to be null and void, the Company, acting on behalf of the employer, and the Grantee, agree to be bound by the following provision if the Grantee qualifies as a sales representative (the “Belgian Alternative Provision 3”): 6bis. Non-Competition. During the course of the employment relationship and for a period of twelve (12) months following the end of the employment, the Grantee will be prohibited from exercising activities which are similar to the activities the Grantee exercises for the employer, within the working area in which the Grantee carried out the Grantee’s activities, either in the framework of a competing activity for the Grantee's own account, or directly or indirectly for any competitor of the employer. The prohibition set forth in this article will have no effect in case of termination of the employment either during the first six (6) months of the employment, or, afterwards, by the employer for a reason other than serious cause, or by the Grantee for serious cause. In case of breach of this non-competition obligation, the Grantee will have to pay a lump-sum indemnity of three (3) months gross remuneration to the employer, without prejudice to the employer’s right to claim higher damages based on the actually suffered loss. 6ter. Common provisions. The restrictions in Section 6 and Sub-Section 6bis shall not be construed to prevent the Grantee from, following the termination of the Grantee’s Service, working for a business entity that does not compete with the Company Group simply because the entity is affiliated with a Competing Enterprise, so long as the entity is operationally separate and distinct from the Competing Enterprise and the Grantee’s job responsibilities at that entity are unrelated to the Competing Enterprise. The restrictions in the foregoing Section 6 and Sub- Section 6bis will not apply to employment by or the rendering of services to businesses that sell fuel or convenience items if those businesses are not directly competing with the Company Group, owned or controlled. The restrictions in the foregoing Section 6 and Sub-Section 6bis shall also not be deemed to prohibit the Grantee from owning not more than one percent (1%) of the total shares of all classes of stock of any publicly held company. The Grantee acknowledges that the Company Group’s businesses are conducted internationally and agrees that the provisions in the foregoing Section 6 and Sub-Section 6bis shall operate in any country in which the Company Group conducts business while the Grantee is/was employed by a member of the Company Group. Existing Restrictions - The Company Group has previously entered into agreements with certain executives and employees that contain restrictive covenants (“Restrictions”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee is party to an employment or other agreement containing Restrictions on (a) confidentiality, (b) solicitation of customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group, (c) solicitation or hire of employees of any


 
member of the Company Group, and/or (d) competition (collectively, “Existing Restrictions”), any such Existing Restrictions will remain in effect and the Grantee shall remain bound by such Existing Restrictions. To the extent the restrictions contained in Section 5, Section 6 or Sub- Section 6bis of this Agreement conflict in any way with any Existing Restriction(s), such conflict shall be resolved by giving effect to the provision that provides the greatest protection to the Company Group that is enforceable under applicable law. In case several provisions offer the same level of protection, the most recent one shall prevail. The Grantee agrees and acknowledges that the period of time, geographical scope, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this Agreement are fair, and reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company Group. The Grantee also acknowledges that in the event the Grantee breaches any part of Section 5, Section 6 or Sub-Section 6bis of this Agreement, the damages to the Company Group would be irreparable. Therefore, in addition to monetary damages and/or reasonable attorney fees, the Company Group shall have the right to seek injunctive and/or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement. Further, the Grantee consents to the issuance of a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of any proceeding. The Grantee further understands and agrees that if the Grantee breaches any covenant set forth in Section 6 or Sub-Section 6bis, the duration of any covenant so breached shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, automatically be tolled from the date of the first breach until the date judicial relief providing effective remedy for such breach or breaches is obtained by the Company Group, or until the Company Group states in writing that it will seek no judicial relief for such breach. Disclosure - The Grantee agrees, during the period of twelve (12) months immediately following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason, to disclose to the Company Group, in writing, any person or entity with whom the Grantee becomes employed, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated, the Grantee’s date of hire or engagement, the Grantee’s job title, and a complete description of the Grantee’s duties. The Grantee agrees to make such disclosure to the Company Group no later than the date on which the Grantee accepts or otherwise agrees to become employed by, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated with such person or entity. Communication - During the Grantee’s Service and for a period of at least twelve (12) months thereafter, the Grantee will provide any person or entity that the Grantee seeks an offer of employment or other engagement or retention from notice of the existence of this Agreement and the terms of Section 5, Section 6 and Sub-Section 6bis before requesting or accepting such an offer. If the Grantee fails to provide such notice, the Grantee understands that the Grantee may be held liable for any consequential damages resulting from such failure. The Grantee agrees that the Company Group may send a copy of this Agreement to, or otherwise make the provisions of Section 5, Section 6, or Sub-Section 6bis of this Agreement known to, any of the Grantee’s potential and future employers or other entity considering engaging the Grantee or which has engaged or employed the Grantee. The Grantee agrees not to assert any claim that such conduct by the Company Group is legally actionable interference or otherwise impermissible regardless of whether or not the provisions of Section 5, Section 6, or Sub-Section 6bis are later found to be enforceable in whole or in part. Severability - If any one or more provisions of Section 5, Section 6, Sub-Section 6bis or Sub- Section 6ter shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to time, geographical scope,


 
activity or subject, it shall be construed, by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the greatest extent compatible with applicable law as it shall then appear, and the parties expressly agree that any of the provisions of Section 5, Section 6, Sub-Section 6bis or Sub-Section 6ter may be reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled to make such provision enforceable, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the parties consent to the enforcement of such provision as so reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled. Mindful of the obligations set forth in Section 5, Section 6, Sub-Section 6bis or Sub-Section 6ter, upon termination of the Grantee’s Service, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company Group. It is explicitly agreed that, except for the paragraphs above on (i) Existing Restrictions, (ii) Disclosure, (iii) Communication and (iv) Severability, the provisions of Sub-Section 6ter do not apply in relation to the Belgian Alternative Provision 1 nor in relation to the Belgian Alternative Provision 2 nor in relation to the Belgian Alternative Provision 3. Withholding: The following provision supplements Section 8 of the Agreement: Section 8 shall be without prejudice to the applicable tax and social security obligations under Belgian law applying to the Company or any company or entity of the WEX Group. No Rights to Continued Service: The following provision supplements Section 9 of the Agreement: The grant of Awards under the Plan is made at the discretion of the Company Group and the Plan may be suspended or terminated by the Company Group at any time. The grant of an Award in one (1) year or at one time does not in any way entitle the Grantee to an Award in the future. The Plan is wholly discretionary and is not to be considered part of the Grantee's normal or expected compensation subject to severance, resignation, redundancy or similar compensation. The value of the Award is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of the Grantee's Service. Data Privacy: 26) Data Privacy. (a) The Company Group, in its capacity as Controller, grants Awards under the Plan to employees of the Company Group in its sole discretion. In conjunction with the Company Group’s grant of the Award under the Plan and its ongoing administration of such awards, the Company Group collects, uses and otherwise processes (“Process (es)(ing)”) the Grantee’s personal data (“Personal Data”), including the Grantee’s name, home address, email address, and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any shares of Common Stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Awards or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor, which the Company Group receives from the Grantee or the employer. (b) Data Collection, Processing and Usage. In granting the Award under the Plan, the Company Group will Process the Grantee’s Personal Data for purposes of allocating shares of


 
Common Stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company Group’s legal basis, where required, for the Processing of the Grantee’s Personal Data is the necessity for the Company Group to (i) perform its contractual obligations under this Agreement, (ii) comply with legal obligations established in the European Union, European Economic Area, and the United Kingdom (“EEA+”), and/or (iii) pursue the legitimate interest of complying with legal obligations established outside of the EEA+. (c) Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. The Company Group transfers the Grantee’s Personal Data to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and its affiliates, independent service providers based in the United States, which assist the Company Group with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan (the “Service Provider”). In the future, the Company Group may select a different Service Provider and share the Grantee’s Personal Data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Service Provider will open an account for the Grantee to receive and trade shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan. The Grantee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Service Provider, which is a condition to the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan. (d) International Data Transfers. The Company Group and the Service Provider are based in the United States. The Grantee should note that the Grantee’s country of residence may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. In order to protect the Grantee’s privacy, where Personal Data are transferred by or on behalf of the Company Group to other countries or organizations that have not been recognized as providing regulatory protection similar to the Grantee’s country, the Company Group contractually obliges its international entities, affiliates and service providers to comply with the applicable data protection laws and principles through standard clauses that have been approved or recognized by the relevant regulators. The Company Group also relies on the Grantee’s consent per this Agreement as the legal basis for the transfer of the Grantee’s Personal Data to the United States is the Grantee’s consent. (e) Voluntariness and Consequences of Failure to Perform Under the Agreement, Consent Denial or Consent Withdrawal. The Grantee’s participation in the Plan and his or her performance under this Agreement, including agreeing to the Processing of the necessary Personal Data is purely voluntary. The Grantee may end his or her participation in the Plan, terminate this Agreement or deny or withdraw his or her consent to the transfer of his or her Personal Data at any time. If the Grantee does not consent, or if the Grantee later withdraws his or her consent, the Grantee may be unable to participate in the Plan. This will not affect the Grantee’s existing employment or salary; instead, the Grantee merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan. (f) Data Subjects Rights. The Grantee may have a number of rights under the data privacy laws in the Grantee’s country of residence. For example, the Grantee’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of Personal Data the Company Processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect Personal Data, (iii) request deletion of Personal Data, (iv) place restrictions on Processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent privacy or data protection authorities in the Grantee’s country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Grantee’s Personal Data. To receive clarification regarding the Grantee’s rights or to exercise his or her rights, the Grantee should refer to the


 
relevant privacy policy available at https://www.wexinc.com/workday/legal-notices/ and contact his or her local human resources department. (g) Personal Data Retention. The Company Group and its Service Provider will retain the Grantee’s Personal Data no longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was processed for the duration of this Agreement, unless a longer period is required to comply with applicable laws. Retention periods may vary depending on i) purpose for which the Personal Data was collected and used, which may differ depending on the nature of the Personal Data and the activities involved, ii) the length of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, or iii) whether there are legal obligations to which either the Company Group or the Grantee are subject. (h) For more information on how the Company Group processes the Grantee’s Personal Data, please refer to the relevant privacy policy available at https://www.wexinc.com/workday/legal-notices/. Imposition of Other Requirements: 27) Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company Group reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, on the Award and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. Additional Acknowledgements and Authorizations: 28) Additional Acknowledgements and Authorizations. By accepting the Award, the Grantee acknowledges, understands and agrees that: a) the future value of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Award is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty; b) neither the Company Group, nor any member thereof, shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Grantee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Award, any payment made pursuant to the Award, or the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan; and c) the Company Group is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company Group making any recommendations regarding participation in the Plan or the acquisition or sale of the shares of Common Stock. The Grantee should consult with his or her personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. Brazil The Plan: The following provision supplements Section 1 of the Agreement: The Grantee’s participation in the Plan is absolutely voluntary. Award:


 
The following provision supplements Section 1 of the Agreement: The Award is not remuneration for services and, therefore, is not to be considered salary, or of salary nature, for any purpose, whatsoever. Termination: The following provision replaces Section 3(d) of the Agreement in its entirety: Other Terminations. Except as otherwise provided under Section 3(a), Section 3(b)(i) and Section 3(c)(ii) of this Agreement, upon the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason, any PRSUs that have not satisfied the Vesting Conditions as of such termination shall be forfeited immediately, automatically and without consideration (unless the Board, in its sole discretion, determines otherwise). A termination of Service shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the Grantee ceases to perform active employment duties for the Company Group, regardless of any notice period, salary continuation period or other severance period. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, this Agreement or any other agreement between any member of the Company Group and the Grantee to the contrary, the Grantee shall not be entitled to any compensation for the loss of any rights under the Plan or this Agreement as a result of the termination of the Grantee’s Service (for any reason whatsoever, other than those provided under Section 3(a), Section 3(b)(i) and Section 3(c)(ii) of this Agreement, whether or not such termination is later found to be invalid or in breach of the employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is employed or providing services or the terms of the Grantee’s employment or service agreement, if any). Confidential and Proprietary Information: The following provisions replace Section 5 of the Agreement in its entirety: 5) Confidential and Proprietary Information. The Grantee acknowledges that in connection with the Grantee’s Service with the Company Group, the Grantee is placed in a position of confidence and trust with the Company Group, and in line with that position has and will continue to have access to information of a nature not generally disclosed to the public. The Grantee agrees to keep confidential and not: (i) use or (ii) disclose to anyone Confidential and Proprietary Information except in the course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company, as required by law or court order, or as authorized, in writing, by the Board of Directors. “Confidential and Proprietary Information” includes but is not limited to all Company Group’ trade secrets, business and strategic plans, financial details, computer programs, manuals, contracts, current and prospective client and supplier lists, and all other documentation, business knowledge, data, material, property and supplier lists, and developments owned, possessed or controlled by the Company Group, regardless of whether possessed or developed by the Grantee in the course of the Grantee’s employment. Such Confidential and Proprietary Information may or may not be designated as confidential or proprietary and may be oral, written or electronic media. The Grantee understands that such information is owned and shall continue to be owned solely by the Company, and hereby represents that the Grantee has not and will not disclose, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any Confidential and Proprietary Information. The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee has complied and will continue to comply with this commitment, both as an employee and after the termination of the Grantee’s employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential and Proprietary Information does not include any information that: (1) is already in the public domain or becomes available to the public through


 
no breach by the Grantee of this Agreement; (2) was lawfully in the Grantee’s possession prior to disclosure to the Grantee by the Company Group; (3) is lawfully disclosed to the Grantee by a third party (other than the Company, or any of its representatives, agents or employees) without any obligations of confidentiality attaching to such disclosure; or (4) is developed by the Grantee entirely on the Grantee’s own time without the Company Group’s equipment, supplies or facilities and does not relate at the time of conception to the Company Group’s business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development. Information shall not be deemed to be in the public domain merely because any part of said information is embodied in general disclosures or because individual features, components, or combinations thereof are now or become known to the public or are in the public domain. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation: The following provisions replace Section 6 of the Agreement in its entirety, except for subsection 6(f) of the Agreement which remains in force as provided in the Agreement: 6A. Non-Solicitation. In exchange for the Award(s) of PRSUs to the Grantee, in accordance with the Plan, Memorandum and this Agreement, and any other related agreements, which the Grantee acknowledges and agrees to be reasonable and sufficient compensation for this Non-Solicitation covenant, and due to the Grantee’s access and exposure to Confidential and Proprietary Information provided to the Grantee, the Grantee agrees that during the Grantee’s Service with the Company Group and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service with the Company Group for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, the latter of (y) twelve (12) months following the date of termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Company and (z) the final Vesting Date, the Grantee shall not, on behalf of the Grantee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, entity or organization other than the Company, whether as an agent or otherwise: (a) Contact, call on, provide advice to, solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group with whom the Grantee directly performed any services or had any direct business contact; (b) Contact, call on, provide advice to, solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group whose entity- or other customer-specific information the Grantee discovered or gained access to as a result of the Grantee’s access to Company Confidential and Proprietary Information; (c) Utilize the Company Group’s Confidential and Proprietary Information to solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group; (d) Solicit or induce, either directly or indirectly, any employee of the Company Group to leave the employ of the Company Group or become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than the Company


 
Group; or take any action to assist any subsequent employer or any other person, entity or organization, either directly or indirectly, in soliciting or inducing any Company employee to leave the employ of the Company Group or become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than the Company Group; or hire or employ, or assist in the hiring or employment of, either directly or indirectly, any individual employed by the Company Group within sixty (60) days preceding that individual’s hire by the Grantee or the Grantee’s subsequent employer. 6B. Non-Competition. Subject to the “Additional Provisions” Section below, in exchange for the Award(s) of PRSUs to the Grantee, in accordance with the Plan, Memorandum and this Agreement, and any other related agreements, which the Grantee acknowledges and agrees to be reasonable and sufficient compensation for this Non-Competition covenant, and due to the Grantee’s access and exposure to Confidential and Proprietary Information provided to the Grantee, the Grantee agrees that during the Grantee’s Service with the Company Group and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service with the Company Group for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, the latter of (y) twelve (12) months following the date of termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Company and (z) the final Vesting Date, the Grantee shall not, on behalf of the Grantee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, entity or organization other than the Company, whether as an agent or otherwise become employed by, render services to or directly or indirectly (whether for compensation or otherwise, and whether as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, lender, investor, corporate officer, board member, director, or in any other individual or representative capacity) own or hold a proprietary interest in, manage, operate, or control, or join or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or furnish any capital to or be connected in any manner with, any Competing Enterprise. For purposes of this Sub-Section 6B, a “Competing Enterprise” means any entity, organization or person engaged, or planning to become engaged, in substantially the same or similar business to that being conducted or actively and specifically planned to be conducted by the Grantee’s employer, during the Grantee’s employment with the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary or any other prior or subsequent employer of the same economic group, or within six (6) months after the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary or any other company of the same economic group, in Brazil or abroad, in or with which the Grantee has been involved or concerned to a material extent or, about which the Grantee received Confidential Information, at any time during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of the Grantee’s termination of employment. It includes, without limitation and to the extent applicable: (i) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being involved in providing any products or services relating to transaction or payment processing, including those for the benefit of fleets; travel; healthcare; education; payroll; or, benefits through charge cards, credit cards, procurement cards or any other form of payment services or electronic commerce; (ii) the sale, distribution or publication of petroleum product pricing or management information or other products or services currently sold or to the best of the Grantee’s knowledge contemplated to be sold by the Company or any of its owned or controlled subsidiaries, and (iii) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being involved in providing commercial travel, entertainment and purchasing credit cards. The restrictions in this Section shall not be construed to prevent the


 
Grantee from, following the termination of the Grantee’s Service with the Company Group, working for a business entity that does not compete with the Company or its subsidiaries simply because the entity is affiliated with a Competing Enterprise, so long as the entity is operationally separate and distinct from the Competing Enterprise and the Grantee’s job responsibilities at that entity are unrelated to the Competing Enterprise. The restrictions in this Section will not apply to employment by or the rendering of services to businesses that sell fuel or convenience items if those businesses are not directly competing with the Company or its subsidiaries, owned or controlled. The restrictions in this Section shall also not be deemed to prohibit the Grantee from owning not more than one percent (1%) of the total shares of all classes of stock of any publicly held company. The Grantee acknowledges that the Company Group’s businesses are conducted internationally and agrees that the provisions in this Section shall operate in any country in which the Company conducts business of the same line of business the Grantee was involved with, participated in, or acquired knowledge of while employed by the Company or its subsidiaries. As further compensation for the non-competition restriction imposed after the termination of employment, as described above, the Company or one of its subsidiaries agrees to pay the Grantee an amount equivalent to the Grantee’s last annual salary, payable in twelve (12) equal monthly installments (one for each month of restriction). In the event of a termination due to Retirement, in which case the Grantee shall continue to be eligible to vest and be settled in accordance with schedule set forth in Sub-Sections 3(b) of this Agreement and as determined pursuant to Schedule 1, the parties hereby agree that such future vestings (which are not otherwise available in case of termination for reasons other than Retirement) are sufficient and reasonable compensation for the non-competition period that would start at the Retirement date and end the latter of (y) twelve (12) months following the date of termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Company and (z) the final Vesting Date. In the event the Grantee breaches the Grantee’s obligation to non-compete, the Company shall immediately stop making payments or allowing unvested RSUs to vest (i.e., all unvested RSUs will be forfeited), and may also seek any other remedies provided in this Agreement, by law and/or equity. The parties agree that the Company or the applicable subsidiary, at its sole discretion, shall have the right to reduce the post-termination non-compete period or waive the post-termination non- compete obligation of this Sub-Section 6B of the Grantee at the time the Company or its subsidiary gives notice of termination of employment to the Grantee, regardless of whether the termination is with or without cause, or within ten (10) calendar days of the Grantee’s resignation or Retirement. If the Company or its subsidiary decides to reduce the restrictive period, the post-termination compensation for such period, set forth in this Sub-Section 6B, will be reduced in the same proportion, and, if the Company or its subsidiary decides to waive the Grantee’s post-termination non-compete obligation, then the Grantee shall not be entitled to post-termination compensation, in whole or in part, as provided in this Sub-Section 6B, except that if the Grantee’s termination is due to Retirement, a partial or whole waiver of the non- compete shall not affect the Grantee’s entitlement to future vestings, as provided above. The Grantee hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee has no expectation of a right to the payment described above, except if the Company or its subsidiary requires the Grantee to comply with the non-compete obligation and the Grantee so complies.


 
The Grantee also acknowledges and agrees that the opportunity to participate in the Award and/or the compensation the Grantee may receive under this Sub-Section 6B is sufficient and fair compensation in exchange for the post-termination non-compete restrictions imposed. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Award, this Agreement or any other agreement (written or oral) to the contrary, the Grantee shall not be entitled (and by accepting an Award, thereby irrevocably waives any such entitlement) to any payment or other benefit to compensate the Grantee for the loss of any rights under the Plan as a result of the termination or expiration of an Award in connection with any termination of employment (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not such termination is later found to be invalid or in breach of the employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is employed or providing services or the terms of the Grantee’s employment or service agreement, if any). No amounts earned pursuant to the Plan or any Award shall be deemed to be eligible compensation in respect of any other plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Governing Law and Venue: The following provision replaces Section 9 of the Agreement in its entirety: This Agreement and the legal relations between the parties shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Brazil. Any disputes shall be brought to and adjudicated by the civil courts of Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil. Tax Obligations: The following provisions replace Section 10 of the Agreement in its entirety: 10. Tax Obligations. Regardless of any action the Company or the subsidiary that employs the Grantee (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account, or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items owed by the Grantee is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and that such amount may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or the Employer. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant or vesting of the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units, the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon settlement of the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock, and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (ii) does not commit and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax- Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Grantee becomes subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former Employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. Prior to vesting of the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units, the Grantee shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all withholding obligations of the Company. In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company to withhold all applicable Tax- Related Items legally payable by the Grantee (i) from proceeds of the sale of the shares of Common Stock, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the


 
Company (on the Grantee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); and/or (ii) by the Company retaining a portion of the vested Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units to be settled. Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case the Grantee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Common Stock equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Common Stock, for tax purposes, the Grantee is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the vested Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of shares are held back solely for purposes of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan. Finally, the Grantee shall pay to the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold as a result of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue and deliver shares of Common Stock in payment of any earned and vested Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this Section 10. Amendments; Severability: The following provision replaces Section 13 of the Agreement in its entirety: 13. Amendments; Severability. This Agreement may be amended at any time by the Board, provided that no amendment may, without the consent of the Grantee, materially and adversely affect the Grantee’s rights with respect to the Award. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, such that in the event any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remainder of this Agreement will nevertheless be binding and enforceable. Compliance with Law: 16. Compliance with Law. By accepting the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units, the Grantee agrees to comply with applicable Brazilian laws and to report and pay any and all applicable Tax-Related Items associated with the Grantee’s receipt and sale of shares of Common Stock acquired through his or her participation in the Plan and the receipt of any dividends on such shares of Common Stock. Nature of Award Acknowledgements: The following new Section 26 is added to the Agreement: 26) Acknowledgments. By entering into this Agreement and accepting the grant of PRSUs evidenced hereby, the Grantee acknowledges, understands, and agrees that: (a) the Grantee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; (b) the Grantee is making an investment decision; (c) the shares of Common Stock will be issued to the Grantee only if the vesting conditions are met and any necessary services are rendered by the Grantee over the vesting period;


 
(d) the value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is not fixed and may increase or decrease in value over the vesting period without compensation to the Grantee; (e) the future value of the shares of Common Stock that may be delivered in settlement of the PRSUs (to the extent earned) is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with certainty; (f) neither the Company, the Employer, nor any other subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Grantee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the PRSUs, any payment made pursuant to the PRSUs, or the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan; (g) this Award is made solely by the Company, and the Company is solely responsible for the administration of the Plan and the Grantee’s participation in the Plan; (h) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, is discretionary in nature, and may be terminated by the Company at any time, except as otherwise set forth in the Plan; (i) the grant of PRSUs is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of PRSUs or benefits in lieu of PRSUs, even if such awards have been awarded in the past; (j) all decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (k) this Award and the underlying shares of Common Stock, and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; (l) this Award and the underlying shares of Common Stock, and the income from and value of same, are considered extraordinary premium and are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any vacation, vacation premium, thirteenth (13th) salary, FGTS contributions, notice of termination, severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, or end-of-service payments; bonuses; long-service awards; pension, retirement, or welfare benefits; or similar payments; (m) unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the PRSUs and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the PRSUs or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out, or substituted, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Common Stock; (n) the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Grantee’s participation in the Plan or the Grantee’s acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock; (o) Grantee is fluent in English and fully understands the terms and conditions of the Plan and Award agreements. If the Grantee has received this Agreement or any


 
other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version differs from the English version, the English version shall control; and (p) the Grantee should consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. Data Privacy: The following new Section 27 is added to the Agreement: 27) Data Privacy. (a) The Company, in its capacity as Controller, grants Awards under the Plan to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries in its sole discretion. In conjunction with the Company’s grant of the Award under the Plan and its ongoing administration of such awards, the Company collects, uses and otherwise processes (“Process (es)(ing)”) the Grantee’s personal data (“Personal Data”), including the Grantee’s name, home address, email address, and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any shares of Common Stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Awards or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor, which the Company receives from the Grantee or the Employer. (b) Data Collection, Processing and Usage. In granting the Award under the Plan, the Company will Process the Grantee’s Personal Data for purposes of allocating shares of Common Stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis, where required, for the Processing of the Grantee’s Personal Data is the necessity for the Company to (i) perform its contractual obligations under this Agreement, (ii) comply with legal obligations established in Brazil, and/or (iii) pursue the legitimate interest of the Company and/or its subsidiary in granting to the Grantee the Awards. (c) Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. The Company transfers the Grantee’s Personal Data to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and its affiliates, independent service providers based in the United States, which assist the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan (the “Service Provider”). In the future, the Company may select a different Service Provider and share the Grantee’s Personal Data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Service Provider will open an account for the Grantee to receive and trade shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan. The Grantee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Service Provider, which is a condition to the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan. (d) International Data Transfers. The Company and the Service Provider are based in the United States. The Grantee should note that the Grantee’s country of residence may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. In order to protect the Grantee’s privacy, where Personal Data are transferred by or on behalf of the Company to other countries or organizations that have not been recognized as providing regulatory protection similar to the Grantee’s country, the Company contractually obliges its international entities, affiliates and service providers to comply with the applicable data protection laws and principles through standard clauses that have been approved or recognized by the relevant regulators. The


 
Company also relies on the Grantee’s consent per this Agreement as the legal basis for the transfer of the Grantee’s Personal Data to the United States. By signing this Agreement, the Grantee provides consent to the international transfer of the Grantee’s Personal Data and the processing of such Personal Data in accordance with this Section. (e) Voluntariness and Consequences of Failure to Perform Under the Agreement, Consent Denial or Consent Withdrawal. The Grantee’s participation in the Plan and the Grantee’s performance under this Agreement, including agreeing to the Processing of the necessary Personal Data is purely voluntary. The Grantee may end the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, terminate this Agreement or deny or withdraw the Grantee’s consent to the transfer of the Grantee’s Personal Data at any time. If the Grantee does not consent, or if the Grantee later withdraws the Grantee’s consent, the Grantee may be unable to participate in the Plan. This will not affect the Grantee’s existing employment or salary; instead, the Grantee merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan. Any Consent Withdrawal shall not affect the lawfulness of Processing based on consent before its withdrawal. The Company will continue to retain the information that the Grantee provided to the Company before the Grantee withdrew the Grantee’s consent for as long as allowed or required by applicable law. (f) Data Subjects Rights. Subject to the exceptions or limitations established by applicable Brazilian law or regulation, the Grantee has the right to: (a) request confirmation of the processing of the Grantee’s Personal Data; (b) request access to the Personal Data; (c) request the correction and/or update of the Personal Data; (d) request the anonymization, blocking or elimination of the Personal Data that is unnecessary, excessive or processed in violation of the law; (e) request the transfer of the Personal Data from one service provider to another; (f) request the deletion of the Personal Data previously processed with the Grantee’s consent; (g) request an identification of the public and private entities to which the Company disclosed the Personal Data or with which the Company used a shared database containing the Grantee’s Personal Data; and (h) object to the processing of the Personal Data. To receive clarification regarding the Grantee’s rights or to exercise the Grantee’s rights, the Grantee should refer to the relevant privacy policy available at https://www.wexinc.com/workday/legal-notices/ and contact his or her local human resources department. (g) Personal Data Retention. The Company and its Service Provider will retain the Grantee’s Personal Data no longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was processed for the duration of this Agreement, unless a longer period is required to comply with applicable laws. Retention periods may vary depending on i) purpose for which the Personal Data was collected and used, which may differ depending on the nature of the Personal Data and the activities involved, ii) the length of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, or iii) whether there are legal obligations to which either the Company or the Grantee are subject. (h) For more information on how the Company processes the Grantee’s Personal Data, please refer to the relevant privacy policy available at https://www.wexinc.com/workday/legal-notices/. Canada Vesting of Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units: The following provision supplements Section 2 of the Agreement:


 
Where Awards are settled with shares of Common Stock that are not newly-issued, settlement of the Awards shall take place, at the latest, on or prior to December 31 of the calendar year which is three (3) years after the calendar year in which the performance of services, for which Awards are granted, occurred. Termination of Employment: The following provision replaces the second paragraph of Section 3(d) of the Agreement: IN ACCEPTING THE AWARD, THE GRANTEE SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE GRANTEE HAS READ AND EXPRESSLY ACCEPTS SECTION 3(d) OF THIS AGREEMENT, AS AMENDED BY THE FOLLOWING PROVISION: A termination of Service or the date upon which the Grantee is no longer employed shall be deemed to have occurred on the date upon which the Grantee ceases to perform active employment duties for the Company or its subsidiaries following the provision of any notification of termination by the Company either, except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, with or without cause, or because of disability, or because of the voluntary or involuntary resignation or retirement from employment by the Grantee, and without regard to any period of notice of termination of employment (whether expressed or implied), any period of notice of resignation or retirement or any period of pay in lieu of any notice, severance or salary continuation or other entitlement, to which the Grantee might then be entitled, whether under contract, common or civil law or otherwise, save and except as may be otherwise required by applicable employment standards legislation. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Award, this Agreement or any other agreement (written or oral) to the contrary and except as may be required by applicable employment standards legislation, a) the Grantee shall not be entitled (and by accepting an Award, thereby irrevocably waives any such entitlement) to any payment or other benefit to compensate the Grantee for the loss of any rights under the Plan as a result of the termination or expiration of an Award in connection with any termination of employment (for any reason), on a pro-rata basis or otherwise, and whether under contract, common or civil law or otherwise and b) any payments made under the Plan or that would have been made but for the termination, shall not be included in any damages for wrongful dismissal at common or civil law nor in any damages for a lost opportunity to earn the incentive during a common or civil law reasonable notice period. No amounts earned pursuant to the Plan or any Award shall be deemed to be eligible compensation in respect of any other plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Confidential and Proprietary Information: The following provisions replace Section 5 of the Agreement in its entirety: 5. Confidential and Proprietary Information. The Grantee acknowledges that in connection with the Grantee’s Service with the Company, the Grantee is placed in a position of confidence and trust with the Company, and in line with that position has and will continue to have access to information of a nature not generally disclosed to the public. The Grantee agrees to keep confidential and not: (i) use or (ii) disclose to anyone any Confidential and Proprietary Information, except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company, as required by law or as authorized by the Board of Directors. “Confidential and Proprietary Information” includes but is not limited to all Company trade secrets, business and strategic plans, financial details, computer programs, manuals, contracts, current and prospective client and supplier lists,


 
and all other documentation, business knowledge, data, material, property and supplier lists, and developments owned, possessed or controlled by the Company, regardless of whether possessed or developed by the Grantee in the course of the Grantee’s Service. Such Confidential and Proprietary Information may or may not be designated as confidential or proprietary and may be oral, written or electronic media. The Grantee understands that such information is owned and shall continue to be owned solely by the Company, and hereby represents that the Grantee has not and will not disclose, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any Confidential and Proprietary Information. The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee has complied and will continue to comply with this commitment, both as an employee and after the termination of the Grantee’s Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential and Proprietary Information does not include any information that: (1) is already in the public domain or becomes available to the public through no breach by the Grantee of this Agreement; (2) was lawfully in the Grantee’s possession prior to disclosure to the Grantee by the Company; (3) is lawfully disclosed to the Grantee by a third party (other than any member of the Company Group, or any of its representatives, agents or employees) without any obligations of confidentiality attaching to such disclosure; or (4) is developed by the Grantee entirely on the Grantee’s own time without the Company Group’s equipment, supplies or facilities and does not relate at the time of conception to the Company Group’s business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development. Information shall not be deemed to be in the public domain merely because any part of said information is embodied in general disclosures or because individual features, components, or combinations thereof are now or become known to the public or are in the public domain. The provisions in this Agreement do not prohibit the Grantee from communicating with any governmental authority or making a report in good faith and with a reasonable belief of any violations of law or regulation to a governmental authority, or from testifying or participating in a legal proceeding relating to such violations, including making other disclosures protected or required by any whistleblower law or regulation to any appropriate government authority; provided expressly that the Grantee agrees to honor the confidentiality obligations in this Agreement and will only share Confidential and Proprietary Information with the Grantee’s lawyer or with the government agency or entity. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to permit or condone unlawful conduct, including but not limited to the theft or misappropriation of Company property, trade secrets or information. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation: The following provisions replace Section 6 of the Agreement in its entirety: 6A. Non-Solicitation. In consideration of the promises contained herein and the Grantee’s access and exposure to Confidential and Proprietary Information provided to the Grantee, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Grantee agrees that during the Grantee’s Service with the Company and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service with the Company for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of Service due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the Vesting Date (in each case, except with respect to Sub-Section 6A(g), which restrictions apply in perpetuity), the Grantee shall not, on behalf of the Grantee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, entity or organization other than the Company, whether as an agent or otherwise:


 
(a) Contact, call on, and/or solicit, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company with whom the Grantee directly performed any services or had any direct business contact for any purpose which is in competition, in whole or in part, with the Business (as defined at Sub-Section 6B); (b) Take away any business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company with whom the Grantee directly performed any services or had any direct business contact; (c) Contact, call on, and/or solicit, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company whose entity- or other customer-specific information the Grantee discovered or gained access to as a result of the Grantee’s access to Company Confidential and Proprietary Information, for any purpose which is in competition, in whole or in part, with the Business; (d) Take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company whose entity- or other customer-specific information the Grantee discovered or gained access to as a result of the Grantee’s access to Company Confidential and Proprietary Information; (e) Utilize the Company Group’s Confidential and Proprietary Information to solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company; (f) Solicit or induce, either directly or indirectly, any employee of the Company Group to leave the employ of any member of the Company or become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than the Company; or take any action to assist any subsequent employer or any other person, entity or organization, either directly or indirectly, in soliciting or inducing any employee of a member of the Company Group to leave the employ of such member of the Company Group or become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than a member of the Company Group; or hire or employ, or assist in the hiring or employment of, either directly or indirectly, any individual employed by a member of the Company Group within sixty (60) days preceding that individual’s hire by the Grantee or the Grantee’s subsequent employer, the whole, to the extent that the Grantee is aware that the individual is or was employed by such member of the Company Group, as the case may be; and/or (g) Subject to Section 5 (including the last paragraph therein), except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company in the ordinary course of business, except as required by law or as otherwise explicitly directed in writing by an officer of the Company, directly or through others: (a) provide any Confidential and Proprietary Information, including any information derived from the


 
Grantee’s experience with the Company, to (i) any competitor of the Company, (ii) any person the Grantee knows or has reason to believe may be an investor or prospective investor in the Company Group, (iii) a member of the media, (iv) any prospective acquirer of any member of the Company Group, (v) any litigant or potential litigant against any member of the Company Group, (vi) any other person seeking information regarding the Company Group (including, without limitation, information with respect to its business, executives, directors, balance sheet, history, prospects or opportunities) or seeking to change or influence the control of the Company Group, or (vii) any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing (any such person described in clauses (i) to (vii), a “Potential Adverse Party”); (b) make, publicly or privately, any statements that disparage, or could otherwise cause harm to, the business or reputation of any member of the Company Group and/or any current or former officer, director or employee of any member of the Company Group; (c) join a “group” or become a “participant” in a solicitation with respect to the Company Group (other than a solicitation by the Board of Directors), as those terms are defined in applicable securities laws; and (d) aid, encourage, advise or otherwise provide assistance to any Potential Adverse Party in (i) asserting, prosecuting or defending any claim, action or proceeding against any member of the Company Group, (ii) undertaking a proxy contest, withhold campaign or other shareholder activism campaign or proxy solicitation against any member of the Company Group, (iii) proposing to acquire any member of the Company Group or any of its assets or subsidiaries or (iv) making any other demands of any member of the Company Group. If the Grantee is contacted by any Potential Adverse Party, the Grantee shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Company’s Chief Legal Officer (the “CLO”), and shall not discuss the Company Group with any such Potential Adverse Party without prior written approval from the CLO. 6B. Non-Competition. In consideration of the promises contained herein and the Grantee’s access and exposure to Confidential and Proprietary Information provided to the Grantee, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Grantee agrees that during the Grantee’s Service and (1) with respect to all Grantees based in Ontario, continuing thereafter until (Y) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service with the Company or (Z) in the event of a termination due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the Vesting Date, in each case if the Grantee was classified by the Company in its human resources information system of record as being in an executive role (i.e. chief executive officer, president, chief administrative officer, chief operating officer, chief financial officer, chief information officer, chief legal officer, chief human resources officer or chief corporate development officer, or holds any other chief executive position) as of the Grantee’s last day of Service with the Company or (2) with respect to all other Grantees, (i) (Y) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service with the Company or (Z) in the event of termination due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the Vesting Date, in each case if the Grantee was classified by the Company in its human resources information system of record as being in a Director-level role or above (e.g., Director, VP, SVP, CEO, etc.) as of the Grantee’s last day of Service with the Company, or (ii) (Y) six (6) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service with the Company or (Z) in the event of termination due to Retirement, six (6) months following the Vesting Date, in each case if the


 
Grantee was classified by the Company in its human resources information system of record as being in a role below Director-level (e.g., Manager, Team Lead, Individual Contributor, etc.) as of the Grantee’s last day of Service with the Company, the Grantee shall not, on behalf of the Grantee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, entity or organization other than the Company Group, whether as an agent or otherwise, become employed by, render services to or directly or indirectly (whether for compensation or otherwise, and whether as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, lender, investor, corporate officer, board member, director, or in any other individual or representative capacity), own or hold a proprietary interest in, manage, operate, or control, or join or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or furnish any capital to or be connected in any manner with, any Competing Enterprise in the Restricted Area. For purposes of this Section, a “Competing Enterprise” means any entity, organization or person engaged, or planning to become engaged, in substantially the same or similar business to that being conducted or actively and specifically planned to be conducted during the Grantee’s Service with the Company or within six (6) months after the Grantee’s termination of Service. It includes, without limitation: (i) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being involved in providing any products or services relating to transaction or payment processing, including those for the benefit of fleets; travel; healthcare; education; payroll; or, benefits through charge cards, credit cards, procurement cards or any other form of payment services or electronic commerce; (ii) the sale, distribution or publication of petroleum product pricing or management information or other products or services currently sold or to the best of the Grantee’s knowledge contemplated to be sold by any member of the Company Group, and (iii) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being involved in providing commercial travel, entertainment and purchasing credit cards (collectively the “Business”). For purposes of this Section, the “Restricted Area” is Canada. The restrictions in this Section shall not be construed to prevent the Grantee from, following the termination of the Grantee’s Service, working for a business entity that does not compete with the Business simply because the entity is affiliated with a Competing Enterprise, so long as the entity is operationally separate and distinct from the Competing Enterprise and the Grantee’s job responsibilities at that entity are unrelated to the Competing Enterprise. The restrictions in this Section will not apply to employment by or the rendering of services to businesses that sell fuel or convenience items if those businesses are not directly competing with any member of the Company Group. The restrictions in this Section shall also not be deemed to prohibit the Grantee from owning not more than one percent (1%) of the total shares of all classes of stock of any publicly held company. 6C. Additional Provisions. The Company Group has previously entered into agreements with certain executives and employees that contain restrictive covenants (“Restrictions”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee is party to an employment or other agreement containing Restrictions on (a) confidentiality, (b) solicitation of customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group, (c) solicitation or hire of the employees of any member of the Company Group, and/or (d) competition (collectively, “Existing Restrictions”), any such Existing Restrictions will remain in effect and the Grantee shall remain bound by such Existing Restrictions. To the extent the restrictions contained in Section 5, Sub-Section 6A, Sub-Section 6B or Sub-Section 6C of this Agreement conflict in any way with any Existing Restriction(s), such conflict shall be resolved


 
by giving effect to the provision that provides the greatest protection to the Company Group that is enforceable under applicable law. The Grantee agrees and acknowledges that the period of time, geographical scope, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this Agreement are fair, and reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company Group. The Grantee also acknowledges that in the event the Grantee breaches any part of Section 5, Sub-Section 6A, Sub-Section 6B or Sub-Section 6C of this Agreement, the damages to the Company Group would be irreparable. Therefore, in addition to monetary damages and/or reasonable legal fees, the Company Group shall have the right to seek injunctive and/or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement. Further, the Grantee consents to the issuance of a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of any proceeding. The Grantee further understands and agrees that if the Grantee breaches any covenant set forth in Sub-Sections 6A or 6B, the duration of any covenant so breached shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, automatically be tolled from the date of the first breach until the date judicial relief providing effective remedy for such breach or breaches is obtained by the Company Group, or until the Company Group states in writing that it will seek no judicial relief for such breach. If any one or more provisions of Section 5, Sub-Section 6A, Sub-Section 6B or Sub-Section 6C shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to time, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed, by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the greatest extent compatible with applicable law as it shall then appear, and the parties expressly agree that any of the provisions of Section 5, Sub-Section 6A, Sub-Section 6B or Sub-Section 6C may be reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled to make such provision enforceable, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the parties consent to the enforcement of such provision as so reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled. The Grantee agrees, subject to applicable law, during (i) the twelve (12) month period following the termination of the Grantee’s Service, or (ii) in the event of a termination of the Grantee’s Service due to Retirement, the twelve (12) month period following the Vesting Date, to disclose to the Company Group, in writing, any person or entity with whom the Grantee becomes employed, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated, the Grantee’s date of hire or engagement, the Grantee’s job title, and a complete description of the Grantee’s duties. The Grantee agrees to make such disclosure to the Company Group no later than the date on which the Grantee accepts or otherwise agrees to become employed by, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated with such person or entity. During the Grantee’s Service and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service, or (ii) in the event of a termination of the Grantee’s Service due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the Vesting Date, the Grantee will provide any person or entity that the Grantee seeks an offer of employment or other engagement or retention from notice of the existence of this Agreement and the terms of Sections 5 and 6 before requesting or accepting such an offer. If the Grantee fails to provide such notice, the Grantee understands that the Grantee may be held liable for any consequential damages resulting from such failure. The Grantee agrees that the Company Group may send a copy of this Agreement to, or otherwise make the provisions of Sections 5 or 6of this Agreement known to, any of the


 
Grantee’s potential and future employers or other entity considering engaging the Grantee or which has engaged or employed the Grantee. The Grantee agrees not to assert any claim that such conduct by the Company Group is legally actionable interference or otherwise impermissible regardless of whether or not the provisions of Sections 5 or 6are later found to be enforceable in whole or in part. Mindful of the obligations set forth in Section 5, Sub-Section 6A, Sub-Section 6B and Sub- Section 6C, upon termination of the Grantee’s Service, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company Group. Governing Law: The following provision replaces Section 10 of the Agreement in its entirety: 10) Governing Law.

Accordingly, the Grantee agrees to remit to the Company or any applicable subsidiary an amount sufficient to pay such taxes. Such payment shall be made to the Company or the applicable subsidiary of the Company in a form that is reasonably acceptable to the Company, as the Company may determine in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may retain and withhold from delivery at the time of vesting that number of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal to the taxes owed by the Grantee, which retained shares shall fund the payment of such taxes by the Company on behalf of the Grantee. Voluntary Participation: 26) Voluntary Participation. By accepting this Award of securities, the Grantee represents and warrants to the Company that the Grantee’s participation in the trade and acceptance of such securities is voluntary and that the Grantee has not been induced to participate by expectation of engagement, appointment, employment or continued engagement, appointment or employment, as applicable. 27) French Language Documents for Quebec-based Grantees.

The Grantee understands that, from time to time, additional information related to the Award may be provided in English and such information may not be immediately available in French. However, upon request, the Company will provide a translation of such information into French as soon as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the


 
Agreement, and unless the Grantee indicates otherwise, the Agreement and other documents related to the Award in the language chosen and signed by the Grantee will govern the Award and the Grantee's participation in the Plan. Imposition of Other Requirements: 28) Imposition of Other Requirements.

Data Privacy: 28) Data Privacy a) The Company, in its capacity as Controller, grants Awards under the Plan to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries in its sole discretion. In conjunction with the Company’s grant of the Award under the Plan, the Company collects, uses and otherwise processes (“Process (es)(ing)”) the Grantee’s personal data (“Personal Data”), including the Grantee’s name, home address, email address, and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any shares of Common Stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Awards or any other equity compensation awards granted which the Company receives from the Grantee or the Employer. b) Data Collection, Processing and Usage. In granting the Award under the Plan, the Company will Process the Grantee’s Personal Data for purposes of allocating shares of Common Stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis, where required, for the Processing of the Grantee’s Personal Data is the necessity for the Company to (i) perform its contractual obligations under this Agreement, (ii) comply with legal obligations established in the European Union, European Economic Area, and the United Kingdom (“EEA+”), and/or (iii) pursue the legitimate interest of complying with legal obligations established outside of the EEA+. c) Stock Plan Administration Service Provider.

In order to protect the Grantee’s privacy, where Personal Data are transferred by or on behalf of the Company to other countries or organizations that have not been recognized as providing regulatory protection similar to the Grantee’s country, the Company contractually obliges its international entities, affiliates and service providers to comply with the applicable data protection laws and principles through standard clauses that have been approved or recognized by the relevant regulators. The Company also relies on the Grantee’s consent per this Agreement as the legal basis for the transfer of the Grantee’s Personal Data to the United States is the Grantee’s consent. f) Voluntariness and Consequences of Failure to Perform Under the Agreement, Consent Denial or Consent Withdrawal. The Grantee’s participation in the Plan and his or her performance under this Agreement, including agreeing to the Processing of the necessary Personal Data is purely voluntary. The Grantee may end his or her participation in the Plan, terminate this Agreement or deny or withdraw his or her consent to the transfer of his or her Personal Data at any time. If the Grantee does not consent, or if the Grantee later withdraws his or her consent, the Grantee may be unable to participate in the Plan. This will not affect the Grantee’s existing employment or salary; instead, the Grantee merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan. g) Data Subject Rights.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Restricted Period does not apply to this Sub-Section 6.2.2, it being understood that the Grantee’s obligations continue in perpetuity. 6.2.3 The Company has previously entered into agreements with certain executives and employees that contain restrictive covenants (“Restrictions”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee is a party to an employment or other agreement containing Restrictions on (a) confidentiality, (b) solicitation of customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company and any Group Company, (c) solicitation or hire of Company and any Group Company employees, and/or (d) competition (collectively, “Existing Restrictions”), any such Existing Restrictions will remain in effect and the Grantee shall remain bound by such Existing Restrictions and the amount to be paid to the Grantee in consideration for the post-termination non- competition obligations shall be the highest of both considerations, but not the addition of both consideration. To the extent the restrictions contained in this Agreement conflict in any way with any Existing Restriction(s), such conflict shall be resolved by giving effect to the restrictions in this Agreement. If after the date of this Agreement the Grantee subsequently agrees to enter into an agreement containing restrictive covenants (“Subsequent Restrictions”), to the extent that the


 
restrictions contained in this Agreement conflict in any way with any Subsequent Restrictions, such conflict shall be resolved by giving effect to the Subsequent Restrictions. 6.2.4 The Grantee hereby agrees that the Grantee will at the request and cost of the Company enter into a direct agreement or undertaking with any Group Company whereby the Grantee will accept restrictions and provisions corresponding to the restrictions and provisions in this Agreement (or such of them as may be appropriate in the circumstances) in relation to such activities and such area and for such a period as such Group Company may reasonably require for the protection of its legitimate business interests. 6.2.5 If the Grantee’s employment transfers by operation of law to a third party (the “Transferee”), this Agreement shall with effect from that transfer of employment apply to the Grantee as if references to the Company included the Transferee and references to any Group Company were construed accordingly, and as if the references to defined terms in respect of the Company and any Group Company including but not limited to "Customer", "Prospective Customer" and "Critical Employee", applied to the customers, prospective customers and critical employees of the Transferee and their respective Group Companies. The Grantee agrees to execute any such documents as may be required to effectuate said benefit. 6.2.6 Each of the restrictions contained in this Sub-Section 6.2, each definition set out in Sub-Section 6.1, each limb of such definition and each operative word within each Sub-Section or definition is intended to be an entirely separate, severable and independent restriction, notwithstanding that they are combined together for the sake of brevity, and the Grantee agrees not to advance any argument to the contrary. In the event that any of the restrictions shall be held to be void or ineffective but would be valid and effective if some part of the wording thereof were deleted such restriction shall apply with such modification as may be necessary to make it valid and effective. If such a deletion applies to a definition, such deletion shall not apply to any other restriction, so that each definition is deemed to be repeated each time it is used. If any one or more provisions of Sections 5 or 6shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to time, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed, by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the greatest extent compatible with applicable law as it shall then appear, and the parties expressly agree that any of the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 may be reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled to make such provision enforceable, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the parties consent to the enforcement of such provision as so reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled. 6.2.7 The Grantee agrees to provide a copy of this Agreement to any employer or other person to whom or with whom the Grantee is intending to provide services within the Restricted Period before entering into any contractually binding agreement to perform such services.


 
6.2.8 Subject to any requirements under the General Data Protection Regulations, immediately after agreeing to provide services to any person during the Restricted Period, the Grantee will notify the Company of the identity of that person. 6.2.9 Upon termination of the Grantee’s employment, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company as a reminder and ratification of the Grantee undertaking to comply with the Grantee obligations under this agreement. 6.2.10 The Grantee acknowledges that the period of time, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this Agreement are fair, reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company and any Group Company. Tax Obligations: The following provisions replace Section 8 of the Agreement in its entirety: 8. Tax Obligations. (a) As a condition to the granting of the Award and the vesting thereof, the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee is responsible for the payment of income and employment taxes (and any other taxes or contributions whatsoever, including social security contributions) payable in connection with the vesting of an Award. Accordingly, the Grantee agrees to remit to the Company or any applicable subsidiary an amount sufficient to pay such taxes required to be withheld by the Company. Such payment shall be made to the Company or the applicable subsidiary of the Company in a form that is reasonably acceptable to the Company, as the Company may determine in its sole discretion. (b) Notwithstanding Sub-Section 8(a), the Company will retain and withhold from delivery at the time of vesting that number of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal to any taxes or contributions required to be withheld by the Company from the Grantee, which retained shares shall fund the payment of such taxes or contributions by the Company or any company or entity of the WEX Group on behalf of the Grantee. Section 8 shall be without prejudice to the applicable tax and social security obligations under German law applying to the Company or any Group Company. Electronic Delivery: The following provision replaces Section 25 of the Agreement in its entirety: 25) Written Form; Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. Each party shall receive a mutually signed copy of this. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Grantee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company. Language: 26. Language. The Grantee warrants and represents that the Grantee is fluent in English and fully and unmistakably understands the terms and conditions of this Agreement and has been given the opportunity to seek assistance in translation. If the Grantee has


 
received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version differs from the English version, the English version shall control. Imposition of Other Requirements: 27. Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, on the Award and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. Data Privacy: 28. Data Privacy. a) The Company, in its capacity as Controller, grants Awards under the Plan to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries in its sole discretion. In conjunction with the Company’s grant of the Award under the Plan and its ongoing administration of such awards, the Company collects, uses and otherwise processes (“Process (es)(ing)”) the Grantee’s personal data (“Personal Data”), including the Grantee’s name, home address, email address, and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any shares of Common Stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Awards or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor, which the Company receives from the Grantee or the Employer. b) Data Collection, Processing and Usage. In granting the Award under the Plan, the Company will Process the Grantee’s Personal Data for purposes of allocating shares of Common Stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis, where required, for the Processing of the Grantee’s Personal Data is the necessity for the Company to (i) perform its contractual obligations under this Agreement, (ii) comply with legal obligations established in the European Union, European Economic Area, and the United Kingdom (“EEA+”), and/or (iii) pursue the legitimate interest of complying with legal obligations established outside of the EEA+. c) Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. The Company transfers the Grantee’s Personal Data to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and its affiliates, independent service providers based in the United States, which assist the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan (the “Service Provider”). In the future, the Company may select a different Service Provider and share the Grantee’s Personal Data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Service Provider will open an account for the Grantee to receive and trade shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan. The Grantee will be asked


 
to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Service Provider, which is a condition to the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan. d) International Data Transfers. The Company and the Service Provider are based in the United States. The Grantee should note that the Grantee’s country of residence may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. In order to protect the Grantee’s privacy, where Personal Data are transferred by or on behalf of the Company to other countries or organizations that have not been recognized as providing regulatory protection similar to the Grantee’s country, the Company contractually obliges its international entities, affiliates and service providers to comply with the applicable data protection laws and principles through standard clauses that have been approved or recognized by the relevant regulators. The Company also relies on the Grantee’s consent per this Agreement as the legal basis for the transfer of the Grantee’s Personal Data to the United States is the Grantee’s consent. e) Voluntariness and Consequences of Failure to Perform Under the Agreement, Consent Denial or Consent Withdrawal. The Grantee’s participation in the Plan and his or her performance under this Agreement, including agreeing to the Processing of the necessary Personal Data is purely voluntary. The Grantee may end his or her participation in the Plan, terminate this Agreement or deny or withdraw his or her consent to the transfer of his or her Personal Data at any time. If the Grantee does not consent, or if the Grantee later withdraws his or her consent, the Grantee may be unable to participate in the Plan. This will not affect the Grantee’s existing employment or salary; instead, the Grantee merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan. f) Data Subjects Rights. The Grantee may have a number of rights under the data privacy laws in the Grantee’s country of residence. For example, the Grantee’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of Personal Data the Company Processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect Personal Data, (iii) request deletion of Personal Data, (iv) place restrictions on Processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent privacy or data protection authorities in the Grantee’s country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Grantee’s Personal Data. To receive clarification regarding the Grantee’s rights or to exercise his or her rights, the Grantee should refer to the relevant privacy policy available at https://www.wexinc.com/workday/legal-notices/ and contact his or her local human resources department. g) Personal Data Retention. The Company and its Service Provider will retain the Grantee’s Personal Data no longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was processed for the duration of this Agreement, unless a longer period is required to comply with applicable laws. Retention periods may vary depending on i) purpose for which the Personal Data was collected and used, which may differ depending on the nature of the Personal Data and the activities involved, ii) the length of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, or


 
iii) whether there are legal obligations to which either the Company or the Grantee are subject. h) For more information on how the Company processes the Grantee’s Personal Data, please refer to the relevant privacy policy available at https://www.wexinc.com/workday/legal-notices/.

Additional Acknowledgements and Authorizations: By accepting the Award, the Grantee consents to participation in the Plan and acknowledges that the Grantee has received a copy of the Plan. The Grantee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously, and in its sole discretion decided to grant the Award under the Plan to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not bind the Company or any subsidiary, other than to the extent set forth in this Agreement. Consequently, the Grantee understands that the Award is granted on the assumption and condition that the Award and any shares acquired at vesting of the Award are not part of any employment or service contract (either with the Company or any subsidiary), and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation), or any other right whatsoever. In addition, the Grantee understands that this grant would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Grantee acknowledges and freely accepts that, should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant of or right to the Award shall be null and void. Further, the Grantee understands that he or she will not be entitled to continue vesting in any Award upon cessation of the Grantee’s employment or service, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

the Protected Disclosures Act 2014 (provided that such disclosure is in accordance with the Protected Disclosures Act 2014) and in accordance with the Employer’s Whistleblowing Policy; or 5.7.3 co-operating with a criminal investigation or prosecution. 5.8 The Grantee agrees, during the period of twelve (12) months immediately following the termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Employer or the Group Company for any reason, to disclose to the Employer, in writing, any person or entity with whom the Grantee becomes employed, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated, the Grantee’s date of hire or engagement, the Grantee’s job title, and a complete description of the Grantee’s duties. The Grantee agrees to make such disclosure to the Company no later than the date on which the Grantee accepts or otherwise agrees to become employed by, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated with such person or entity. 5.9 While the Grantee is employed with the Employer or any Group Company and for a period of at least twelve (12) months thereafter, the Grantee will provide any person or entity that the Grantee seeks an offer of employment or other engagement or retention from notice of the existence of this Agreement and the terms of Sections 5 and 6 before requesting or accepting such an offer. If the Grantee fails to provide such notice, the Grantee understands that the Grantee may be held liable for any consequential damages resulting from such failure. 5.10 The Grantee agrees that the Employer may send a copy of this Agreement to, or otherwise make the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement known to, any of the Grantee’s potential and future employers or other entity considering engaging the Grantee or which has engaged or employed the Grantee.

acquire the Employer or any Group Company or any of its assets or subsidiaries or (iv) making any other demands of the Employer or any Group Company. If the Grantee is contacted by any Potential Adverse Party, the Grantee shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Employer’s Chief Legal Officer (the “CLO”) and shall not discuss the Employer or any Group Company with any such Potential Adverse Party without prior written approval from the CLO. For the purposes of this Section 6, acts done by the Grantee outside the Restricted Area shall nonetheless be deemed to be done within the Restricted Area where their primary purpose is to distribute, sell, supply or otherwise deal with Restricted Goods or Restricted Services in the Restricted Area. 6B.1.5 This Section 6 shall not prevent the Grantee from: (i) holding a Permitted Investment; or (ii) being engaged in or rendering services to, any business concern during the Restricted Period, provided that the Grantee’s duties or work shall relate solely to services or activities of a kind with which the Grantee (or an employee under the Grantee’s direct supervision) was not concerned to a material extent during the Relevant Period; or (iii) acting in any capacity where there is no risk of conscious or subconscious direct or indirect transmission or use of Confidential Information. 6B.2. The Employer has previously entered into agreements with certain executives and employees that contain restrictive covenants (“Restrictions”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee is party to an employment or other agreement containing Restrictions on (a) confidentiality, (b) solicitation of customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Employer, (c) solicitation or hire of employees of the Employer, and/or (d) competition (collectively, “Existing Restrictions”), any such Existing Restrictions will remain in effect and the Grantee shall remain bound by such Existing Restrictions. To the extent the restrictions contained in Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement conflict in any way with any Existing Restriction(s), such conflict shall be resolved by giving effect first to the enforceable restrictions in this Agreement. 6B.3. The Grantee hereby agrees that the Grantee will at the request and cost of the Employer enter into a direct agreement or undertaking with any Group Company whereby the Grantee will accept restrictions and provisions corresponding to the restrictions and provisions in this Section 6 (or such of them as may be appropriate in the circumstances) in relation to such activities and such area and for such a period as such Group Company may reasonably require for the protection of its legitimate business interests. 6B.4. If the Grantee’s employment transfers by operation of law to a third party (the “Transferee”), this Section 6 shall with effect from that transfer of employment apply to the Grantee as if references to the Employer included the Transferee and references to any Group Company were construed accordingly, and as if the references to defined terms in respect of the Employer and any Group Company including but not


 
limited to "Customer", "Prospective Customer" and "Critical Employee", applied to the customers, prospective customers and critical employees of the Transferee and their respective Group Companies. The Grantee agrees to execute any such documents as may be required to effectuate said benefit. 6B.5. Each of the restrictions contained in this Sub-Section 5B, each definition set out in Sub-Section 5A, each limb of such definition and each operative word within each Sub-Section or definition is intended to be an entirely separate, severable and independent restriction, notwithstanding that they are combined together for the sake of brevity, and the Grantee agrees not to advance any argument to the contrary. In the event that any of the restrictions shall be held to be void or ineffective but would be valid and effective if some part of the wording thereof were deleted such restriction shall apply with such modification as may be necessary to make it valid and effective. If such a deletion applies to a definition, such deletion shall not apply to any other restriction, so that each definition is deemed to be repeated each time it is used. 6B.6. The Grantee warrants that s/he will provide a copy of this Agreement to any employer or other person to whom or with whom the Grantee is intending to provide services or enter into employment within the Restricted Period, and that the Grantee will do so before entering into any contractually binding agreement to perform such services or enter into employment. 6B.7. Immediately after agreeing to provide services to or enter into employment with any third party during the Restricted Period, the Grantee will notify the Employer of the identity of that third party. 6B.8. Mindful of the obligations set forth in Sections 5 and 6, upon termination of the Grantee’s employment, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Employer. 6B.9. The Grantee agrees and acknowledges that the period of time, geographical scope, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this Agreement are fair, and reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Employer and Group Company. No Rights to Continued Service: The following provisions replace Section 9 of the Agreement in its entirety: 9) No Rights to Continued Service. (a) Neither this Agreement nor the Award shall be construed as giving the Grantee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate such employment. (b) The grant of Awards under the Plan is made at the discretion of the Company and the Plan may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time. The grant of an Award in one (1) year or at one time does not in any way entitle the Grantee to an Award in the future. The Plan is wholly discretionary and is not to be considered part of the Grantee's normal or expected compensation subject to severance, resignation, redundancy or similar compensation. The value of the Award is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of the Grantee's employment contract (if any).


 
(c) The rights and obligations of the Grantee under the terms of the Grantee’s office or employment with the Grantee’s employing entity, any past or present subsidiary, or associated or affiliate company of the Company shall not be affected by the Grantee’s participation in the Plan or the grant of this Award or any right which the Grantee may have to participate therein, and the Grantee hereby waives all and any rights to compensation or damages in consequence of the termination of the Grantee’s office or employment with any such company for any reasons whatsoever (whether lawful or unlawful and including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, in circumstances giving rise to a claim for wrongful dismissal) insofar as those rights arise or may arise from the Grantee’s ceasing to have rights under the Plan or being entitled to this Award as a result of such termination, or from the loss or diminution in value of such rights or entitlements. Governing Law: The following provisions replace Section 10 of the Agreement in its entirety: 10) Governing Law. Save for taxation, which shall be governed by the laws of Ireland, this Agreement and the legal relations between the parties shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. Tax Obligations: The following provisions replace Section 8 of the Agreement in its entirety: 8) Tax Obligations. Regardless of any action the Company or the subsidiary that employs the Grantee (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account, or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items owed by the Grantee is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and that such amount may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or the Employer. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant or vesting of the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units, the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon settlement of the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock, and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (ii) does not commit and is under no obligation to take any action or structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Grantee becomes subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former Employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. Prior to vesting of the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units, the Grantee shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all withholding obligations of the Company. In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Grantee (i) from proceeds of the sale of the shares of Common Stock, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Grantee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent);


 
and/or (ii) by the Company retaining a portion of the vested Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units to be settled. Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax- Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case the Grantee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Common Stock equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Common Stock, for tax purposes, the Grantee is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the vested Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of shares are held back solely for purposes of paying the Tax- Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan. Finally, the Grantee shall pay to the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold as a result of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue and deliver shares of Common Stock in payment of any earned and vested Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this Section 10. The following provisions replace Section 14 of the Agreement in its entirety: Nature of Award: 14. Nature of Award. By entering into this Agreement and accepting the grant of Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units evidenced hereby, the Grantee acknowledges, understands, and agrees that: (a) the Grantee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; (b) this Award is made solely by the Company, and the Company is solely responsible for the administration of the Plan and the Grantee’s participation in the Plan; (c) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, is discretionary in nature, and may be terminated by the Company at any time, except as otherwise set forth in the Plan; (d) the grant of Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units or benefits in lieu of Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units, even if such awards have been awarded in the past; (e) all decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (f) this Award and the underlying shares of Common Stock, and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;


 
(g) this Award and the underlying shares of Common Stock, and the income from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any vacation, severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, or end-of-service payments; bonuses; long-service awards; pension, retirement, or welfare benefits; or similar payments; (h) unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Performance- Based Restricted Stock Units and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out, or substituted, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Common Stock; (i) the value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is not fixed and may increase or decrease in value over the vesting period without compensation to the Grantee; (j) the future value of the shares of Common Stock that may be delivered in settlement of the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (to the extent earned) is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with certainty; (k) neither the Company, the Employer, nor any other subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Grantee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units, any payment made pursuant to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units, or the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan; (l) the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Grantee’s participation in the Plan or the Grantee’s acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock; and (m) the Grantee should consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. The following provisions replace Section 16 of the Agreement in its entirety: Data Privacy: 26) Data Privacy.


 
a) The Company, in its capacity as Controller, grants Awards under the Plan to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries in its sole discretion. In conjunction with the Company’s grant of the Award under the Plan and its ongoing administration of such awards, the Company collects, uses and otherwise processes (“Process(es)(ing)”) the Grantee’s personal data (“Personal Data”), including the Grantee’s name, home address, email address, and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any shares of Common Stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Awards or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor, which the Company receives from the Grantee or the Employer. b) Data Collection, Processing and Usage. In granting the Award under the Plan, the Company will Process the Grantee’s Personal Data for purposes of allocating shares of Common Stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis, where required, for the Processing of the Grantee’s Personal Data is the necessity for the Company to (i) perform its contractual obligations under this Agreement, (ii) comply with legal obligations established in the European Union, European Economic Area, and the United Kingdom (“EEA+”), and/or (iii) pursue the legitimate interest of complying with legal obligations established outside of the EEA+. c) Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. The Company transfers the Grantee’s Personal Data to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and its affiliates, independent service providers based in the United States, which assist the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan (the “Service Provider”). In the future, the Company may select a different Service Provider and share the Grantee’s Personal Data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Service Provider will open an account for the Grantee to receive and trade shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan. The Grantee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Service Provider, which is a condition to the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan. d) International Data Transfers. The Company and the Service Provider are based in the United States. The Grantee should note that the Grantee’s country of residence may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. In order to protect the Grantee’s privacy, where Personal Data are transferred by or on behalf of the Company to other countries or organizations that have not been recognized as providing regulatory protection similar to the Grantee’s country, the Company contractually obliges its international entities, affiliates and service providers to comply with the applicable data protection laws and principles through standard clauses that have been approved or recognized by the relevant regulators. The Company also relies on the Grantee’s consent per this Agreement as the legal basis for the transfer of the Grantee’s Personal Data to the United States is the Grantee’s consent.


 
e) Voluntariness and Consequences of Failure to Perform Under the Agreement, Consent Denial or Consent Withdrawal. The Grantee’s participation in the Plan and his or her performance under this Agreement, including agreeing to the Processing of the necessary Personal Data is purely voluntary. The Grantee may end his or her participation in the Plan, terminate this Agreement or deny or withdraw his or her consent to the transfer of his or her Personal Data at any time. If the Grantee does not consent, or if the Grantee later withdraws his or her consent, the Grantee may be unable to participate in the Plan. This will not affect the Grantee’s existing employment or salary; instead, the Grantee merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan. f) Data Subjects Rights. The Grantee may have a number of rights under the data privacy laws in the Grantee’s country of residence. For example, the Grantee’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of Personal Data the Company Processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect Personal Data, (iii) request deletion of Personal Data, (iv) place restrictions on Processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent privacy or data protection authorities in the Grantee’s country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Grantee’s Personal Data. To receive clarification regarding the Grantee’s rights or to exercise his or her rights, the Grantee should refer to the relevant privacy policy available at https://www.wexinc.com/workday/legal-notices/ and contact his or her local human resources department. g) Personal Data Retention. The Company and its Service Provider will retain the Grantee’s Personal Data no longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was processed for the duration of this Agreement, unless a longer period is required to comply with applicable laws. Retention periods may vary depending on i) purpose for which the Personal Data was collected and used, which may differ depending on the nature of the Personal Data and the activities involved, ii) the length of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, or iii) whether there are legal obligations to which either the Company or the Grantee are subject. h) For more information on how the Company processes the Grantee’s Personal Data, please refer to the relevant privacy policy available at https://www.wexinc.com/workday/legal-notices/. Italy The Grantee is employed by WEX Europe Services SRL (the “Employer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (a “Group Company” and collectively, with all other subsidiaries of the Company, the “Group Companies”). The Company has the authority under and pursuant to the Plan to grant awards to eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (each a “Group Company” and, collectively, the “Group Companies”). "Eligible employees" for the purposes of Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Awards made to participants resident in Italy shall include employees and executive directors only of the Employer.


 
For purposes of the following “Italy” provisions, and with respect to any Grantee resident in Italy, the Company and the Company Group shall be defined to specifically include the Employer.

If the Grantee is contacted by any Potential Adverse Party, the Grantee shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Company’s Chief Legal Officer (the “CLO”), and shall not discuss the Company with any such Potential Adverse Party without prior written approval from the CLO. 6.3 For the avoidance of doubt, the Restricted Period does not apply to Sub-Section 6.2. above, it being understood that the Grantee’s obligations continue in perpetuity. 6.4 The following definitions apply with respect to the non-competition agreement: (a) “Territory Italy” means the territory represented by Italy, it being however understood that any operation carried on by any means also outside Italy, but targeting entities residing in Italy, or anyway operating within Italy, shall be considered as being carried on within the Territory Italy; (b) “personally” refers to any business carried out as an entrepreneur as defined by Article 2082 of the Italian Civil Code or as a self-employee as defined by Article 2222 of the Italian Civil Code; (c) “in association with third parties” refers to any and all business carried out within the frame of an association in participation or any other association relationship of a whatsoever nature; (d) “on third parties’ behalf” refers to any and all activity carried out as employee, a co-operator, consultant of whatsoever nature on third party’s behalf; (e) “indirectly” refers to the carrying out of a business by means of permanent establishments, representative offices, subsidiaries, branches, sales networks, or other companies and entities of different nature, directly or through relatives, fiduciaries and attorneys; (f) “Restricted Period” means the period commencing on (i) the Termination Date except in the event of Retirement; (ii) in the event of termination of employment due to Retirement, the Vesting Date, and continuing for twelve (12) months thereafter. During the Restricted Period, the Grantee undertakes to communicate, with a registered letter which must be sent to the Company, the exact indication and/or company name of all the subjects for whom the Grantee shall perform the Grantee’s activity and/or in which the Grantee shall assume responsibilities. These communications must be sent at the latest within the


 
beginning of the activity and/or the assumption of the responsibility, in order to permit any control and defense of its legitimate rights by the Company. In case of non-fulfillment of the information obligations aforementioned, the Grantee shall pay to the Company a penalty equal to EUR 500,00 (five hundred/00), for each day of delay. While the Grantee is employed with the Company, during any period between Retirement and the Vesting Date (if applicable) and during the Restricted Period, the Grantee will provide any person or entity that the Grantee seeks an offer of employment or other engagement or retention from notice of the existence of this Agreement and the terms of Sections 5 and 6 before requesting or accepting such an offer. If the Grantee fails to provide such notice, the Grantee understands that the Grantee may be held liable for any consequential damages resulting from such failure. The Grantee agrees that the Company may send a copy of this Agreement to, or otherwise make the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement known to, any of the Grantee’s potential and future employers or other entity considering engaging the Grantee or which has engaged or employed the Grantee during the mentioned periods. The Grantee agrees not to assert any claim that such conduct by the Company is legally actionable interference or otherwise impermissible regardless of whether or not the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 are later found to be enforceable in whole or in part. With respect to the obligations pointed out in this covenant, and as consideration for such undertakings, the Company will pay to the Grantee, on the date of termination of the relationship, for any reason whatsoever, an amount equal to thirty percent (30%) of the last gross annual salary. The Grantee irrevocably acknowledges that the above compensation for the non-competition covenant is fair and that the non-competition covenant is limited as to its purpose so that the Grantee shall be able to find an alternative job during the validity of such non-competition agreement and to exercise in full the Grantee’s professional skills. In the event of breach of this non-competition covenant, the Grantee shall pay, also as a penalty, an amount of money equal to the double of the amount agreed as compensation of the non-competition agreement, even if not cashed yet, any claim to obtain further compensation for damages suffered by the Company being freely operable. The payment of the penalty and/or of the compensation for further damages shall not cause the termination of this undertaking, which shall anyway preserve its validity until its natural expiry date. The Parties undertake not to ask for the reduction of the penalties, as provided for by section 1348 of the Italian Civil Code, remuneration, compensations mentioned in this Agreement that were agreed having considered the mutual financial interests. The potential invalidity and/or unlawfulness of one or more clauses of this covenant shall not entail the resolution or the voidability of the same; however, in every case of resolution or voidability or invalidity of this covenant, the Grantee shall be irrevocably obliged to the total restitution of the amount received under this covenant. Tax Obligations:


 
The following provisions replace Section 8 of the Agreement in its entirety: 8) Tax Obligations. Regardless of any action the Company or the subsidiary that employs the Grantee (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account, or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax- Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items owed by the Grantee is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and that such amount may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or the Employer. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant or vesting of the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units, the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon settlement of the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock, and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (ii) does not commit and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Grantee becomes subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former Employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax- Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. Prior to vesting of the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units, the Grantee shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all withholding obligations of the Company. In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Grantee (i) from proceeds of the sale of the shares of Common Stock, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Grantee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); and/or (ii) by the Company retaining a portion of the vested Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units to be settled. Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case the Grantee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Common Stock equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Common Stock, for tax purposes, the Grantee is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the vested Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of shares are held back solely for purposes of paying the Tax- Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan. Finally, the Grantee shall pay to the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold as a result of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue and deliver shares of Common Stock in payment of any earned and vested Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this Section 10.

indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with certainty; (l) neither the Company, the Employer, nor any other subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Grantee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units, any payment made pursuant to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units, or the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan; (m) the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Grantee’s participation in the Plan or the Grantee’s acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock; and (n) the Grantee should consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

Kingdom (“EEA+”), and/or (iii) pursue the legitimate interest of complying with legal obligations established outside of the EEA+. (c) Stock Plan Administration Service Provider.

In the future, the Company may select a different Service Provider and share the Grantee’s Personal Data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Service Provider will open an account for the Grantee to receive and trade shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan. The Grantee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Service Provider, which is a condition to the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan. (d) International Data Transfers. The Company and the Service Provider are based in the United States. The Grantee should note that the Grantee’s country of residence may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. In order to protect the Grantee’s privacy, where Personal Data are transferred by or on behalf of the Company to other countries or organizations that have not been recognized as providing regulatory protection similar to the Grantee’s country, the Company contractually obliges its international entities, affiliates and service providers to comply with the applicable data protection laws and principles through standard clauses that have been approved or recognized by the relevant regulators. The Company also relies on the Grantee’s consent per this Agreement as the legal basis for the transfer of the Grantee’s Personal Data to the United States is the Grantee’s consent. (e) Voluntariness and Consequences of Failure to Perform Under the Agreement, Consent Denial or Consent Withdrawal. The Grantee’s participation in the Plan and his or her performance under this Agreement, including agreeing to the Processing of the necessary Personal Data is purely voluntary. The Grantee may end his or her participation in the Plan, terminate this Agreement or deny or withdraw his or her consent to the transfer of his or her Personal Data at any time. If the Grantee does not consent, or if the Grantee later withdraws his or her consent, the Grantee may be unable to participate in the Plan. This will not affect the Grantee’s existing employment or salary; instead, the Grantee merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan. (f) Data Subjects Rights. The Grantee may have a number of rights under the data privacy laws in the Grantee’s country of residence. For example, the Grantee’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of Personal Data the Company Processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect Personal Data, (iii) request deletion of Personal Data, (iv) place restrictions on Processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent privacy or data protection authorities in the Grantee’s country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Grantee’s Personal Data.

6B.2 Subject to the reporting of possible violations of the securities laws to the Dutch supervisory authority, the Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA), and except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise explicitly directed in writing by an officer of the Company, directly or through others, the Grantee agrees to keep confidential and not: (a) provide any confidential information, including any information derived from the Grantee’s experience with the Company, to (i) any competitor of the Company, (ii) any person the Grantee knows or has reason to believe may be an investor or prospective investor in the Company, (iii) a member of the media, (iv) any prospective acquirer of the Company, (v) any litigant or potential litigant against the Company, (vi) any other person seeking information regarding the Company (including, without limitation, information with respect to its business, executives, directors, balance sheet, history, prospects or opportunities) or seeking to change or influence the control of the Company, or (vii) any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing (any such person described in clauses (i) to (vii), a “Potential Adverse Party”); (b) make, publicly or privately, any statements that disparage, or could otherwise cause harm to, the business or reputation of the Company and/or any current or former officer, director or employee of the Company; (c) join a “group” or become a “participant” in a solicitation with respect to the Company (other than a solicitation by the Board of Directors), as those terms are defined in applicable securities laws; and (d) aid, encourage, advise or otherwise provide assistance to any Potential Adverse Party in (i) asserting, prosecuting or defending any claim, action or proceeding against the Company, (ii) undertaking a proxy contest, withhold campaign or other shareholder activism campaign or proxy solicitation against the Company, (iii) proposing to acquire the Company or any of its assets or subsidiaries or (iv) making any other demands of the Company. If the Grantee is contacted by any Potential Adverse Party, the Grantee shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Company’s Chief Legal Officer (the “CLO”), and shall not discuss the Company with any such Potential Adverse Party without prior written approval from the CLO. For the avoidance of doubt, the Restricted Period will not apply to this Sub-Section 6B.2, it being understood that the Grantee’s obligations will continue in perpetuity. 6B.3 The Employer has previously entered into agreements with certain executives and employees that contain restrictive covenants (“Restrictions”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee is party to an employment or other agreement containing Restrictions on (a) confidentiality, (b) solicitation of customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Employer, (c) solicitation or hire of employees of the Employer, and/or (d) competition (collectively, “Existing Restrictions”), any such Existing Restrictions will remain in effect and the Grantee shall remain bound by such Existing Restrictions. To the extent the restrictions contained in Section 5 or Sub-Section 6B of this Agreement conflict in any way with any Existing Restriction(s), such conflict shall be resolved by giving effect to restrictions in this Agreement. 6B.4 The Grantee hereby agrees that the Grantee will at the request and cost of the Employer enter into a direct agreement or undertaking with any Group Company whereby the Grantee will accept restrictions and provisions corresponding to the restrictions and provisions in this Sub-Section 6B (or such of them as may be


 
appropriate in the circumstances) in relation to such activities and such area and for such a period as such Group Company may reasonably require for the protection of its legitimate business interests. 6B.5 If the Grantee’s employment transfers by operation of law to a third party (the “Transferee”), this Sub-Section 6B shall with effect from that transfer of employment apply to the Grantee as if references to the Employer included the Transferee and references to any Group Company were construed accordingly, and as if the references to defined terms in respect of the Employer and any Group Company including but not limited to "Customer", "Prospective Customer" and "Critical Employee", applied to the customers, prospective customers and critical employees of the Transferee and their respective Group Companies. The Grantee agrees to execute any such documents as may be required to effectuate said benefit. 6B.6 Each of the restrictions contained in this Sub-Section 5B, each definition set out in Sub-Section 5A, each limb of such definition and each operative word within each Sub-Section or definition is intended to be an entirely separate, severable and independent restriction, notwithstanding that they are combined together for the sake of brevity, and the Grantee agrees not to advance any argument to the contrary. In the event that any of the restrictions shall be held to be void or ineffective but would be valid and effective if some part of the wording thereof were deleted such restriction shall apply with such modification as may be necessary to make it valid and effective. If such a deletion applies to a definition, such deletion shall not apply to any other restriction, so that each definition is deemed to be repeated each time it is used. 6B.7 The Grantee agrees, during any period between Retirement and the Vesting Date (if applicable) and during the Restrictive Period, to disclose to the Company, in writing, any person or entity with whom the Grantee becomes employed, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated, the Grantee’s date of hire or engagement, the Grantee’s job title, and a complete description of the Grantee’s duties. The Grantee agrees to make such disclosure to the Company no later than the date on which the Grantee accepts or otherwise agrees to become employed by, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated with such person or entity. 6B.8 While the Grantee is employed with the Company, during any period between Retirement and the Vesting Date (if applicable) and during the Restricted Period, the Grantee will provide any person or entity that the Grantee seeks an offer of employment or other engagement or retention from notice of the existence of this Agreement and the terms of Sections 5 and 6 before requesting or accepting such an offer. If the Grantee fails to provide such notice, the Grantee understands that the Grantee may be held liable for any consequential damages resulting from such failure. The Grantee agrees that the Company may send a copy of this Agreement to, or otherwise make the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement known to, any of the Grantee’s potential and future employers or other entity considering engaging the Grantee or which has engaged or employed the Grantee. The Grantee agrees not to assert any claim that such conduct by the Company is legally actionable interference or otherwise impermissible regardless of whether or not the provisions of Sections 5 or 6are later found to be enforceable in whole or in part.


 
6B.9 Mindful of the obligations set forth in Section 5, Sub-Section 5A and Sub-Section 5B, upon termination of the Grantee’s employment, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company. No Rights to Continued Service: The following provisions replace Section 9 of the Agreement in its entirety: 9) No Rights to Continued Service. a) Neither this Agreement nor the Award shall be construed as giving the Grantee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate such employment. b) The grant of Awards under the Plan is made at the discretion of the Company and the Plan may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time. The grant of an Award in one (1) year or at one time does not in any way entitle the Grantee to an Award in the future. The Plan is wholly discretionary and is not to be considered part of the Grantee's normal or expected compensation subject to severance, resignation, redundancy or similar compensation. The value of the Award is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of the Grantee's employment contract (if any). c) The rights and obligations of the Grantee under the terms of the Grantee’s office or employment with the Grantee’s employing entity, any past or present subsidiary, or associated or affiliate company of the Company shall not be affected by the Grantee’s participation in the Plan or the grant of this Award or any right which the Grantee may have to participate therein, and the Grantee hereby waives all and any rights to compensation or damages in consequence of the termination of the Grantee’s office or employment with any such company for any reasons whatsoever (whether lawful or unlawful and including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, in circumstances giving rise to a claim for wrongful dismissal) insofar as those rights arise or may arise from the Grantee’s ceasing to have rights under the Plan or being entitled to this Award as a result of such termination, or from the loss or diminution in value of such rights or entitlements. Governing Law: The following provisions replace Section 10 of the Agreement in its entirety: 10) Governing Law. Save for taxation, which shall be governed by the law of the Netherlands, this Agreement and the legal relations between the parties shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. Tax Obligations: The following provisions replace Sections 8 and 13 of the Agreement in their entirety: 8) Tax Obligations. As a condition to the granting of the Award and the vesting thereof, the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee is responsible for the payment of applicable Dutch wage taxes, social security premiums and any other taxes required to be withheld payable in connection with the vesting of an Award. Accordingly, the Grantee agrees to remit to the Company or any applicable subsidiary an amount sufficient to pay such taxes. Such payment


 
shall be made to the Company or the applicable subsidiary of the Company in a form that is reasonably acceptable to the Company, as the Company may determine in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may retain and withhold from delivery at the time of vesting that number of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal to the taxes owed by the Grantee, which retained shares shall fund the payment of such taxes by the Company on behalf of the Grantee. Further to the above, the Grantee agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Employer and all Group Companies in respect of any income tax and National Insurance liability which fails to be paid to the Dutch tax authorities by the Company or the Employer in connection with the grant, vesting or cancellation of the Award or the acquisition or other dealing in the shares of Common Stock acquired. Severability: Section 20 of the Agreement does not apply. Insider Trading Restrictions: 26) Insider Trading Restrictions. (a) By accepting the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units and participating in the Plan, the Grantee acknowledges that Grantee is subject to insider trading restrictions, which may affect the Grantee’s ability to acquire or sell shares of Common Stock under the Plan during such times as the Grantee is considered to have “inside information”. (b) More specific, under Article 14 of the Market Abuse Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on market abuse) and the Financial Supervision Act, anyone who has “inside information” related to an issuing company is prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in or from the Netherlands. “Inside information” is defined as knowledge of details concerning the issuing company to which the securities relate, which is not public and which, if published, would reasonably be expected to affect the stock price, regardless of the development of the price. (c) Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. (d) The Grantee acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and the Grantee is advised to speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter. Data Privacy: 27) Data Privacy.


 
a) The Company, in its capacity as Controller, grants Awards under the Plan to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries in its sole discretion. In conjunction with the Company’s grant of the Award under the Plan and its ongoing administration of such awards, the Company collects, uses and otherwise processes (“Process (es)(ing)”) the Grantee’s personal data (“Personal Data”), including the Grantee’s name, home address, email address, and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any shares of Common Stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Awards or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor, which the Company receives from the Grantee or the Employer. b) Data Collection, Processing and Usage. In granting the Award under the Plan, the Company will Process the Grantee’s Personal Data for purposes of allocating shares of Common Stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis, where required, for the Processing of the Grantee’s Personal Data is the necessity for the Company to (i) perform its contractual obligations under this Agreement, (ii) comply with legal obligations established in the European Union, European Economic Area, and the United Kingdom (“EEA+”), and/or (iii) pursue the legitimate interest of complying with legal obligations established outside of the EEA+. c) Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. The Company transfers the Grantee’s Personal Data to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and its affiliates, independent service providers based in the United States, which assist the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan (the “Service Provider”). In the future, the Company may select a different Service Provider and share the Grantee’s Personal Data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Service Provider will open an account for the Grantee to receive and trade shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan. The Grantee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Service Provider, which is a condition to the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan. d) International Data Transfers. The Company and the Service Provider are based in the United States. The Grantee should note that the Grantee’s country of residence may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. In order to protect the Grantee’s privacy, where Personal Data are transferred by or on behalf of the Company to other countries or organizations that have not been recognized as providing regulatory protection similar to the Grantee’s country, the Company contractually obliges its international entities, affiliates and service providers to comply with the applicable data protection laws and principles through standard clauses that have been approved or recognized by the relevant regulators. The Company also relies on the Grantee’s consent per this Agreement as the legal basis for the transfer of the Grantee’s Personal Data to the United States is the Grantee’s consent. e) Voluntariness and Consequences of Failure to Perform Under the Agreement, Consent Denial or Consent Withdrawal. The Grantee’s participation in the Plan and his or her performance under this Agreement, including agreeing to the Processing of the necessary Personal Data is purely voluntary. The Grantee may end his or her participation in the Plan, terminate this Agreement or deny or withdraw his or her consent to the transfer of his or her Personal Data at any time. If the Grantee does not consent, or if the Grantee later withdraws his or her consent, the Grantee may be unable to participate in the Plan. This will not affect the


 
Grantee’s existing employment or salary; instead, the Grantee merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan. f) Data Subjects Rights. The Grantee may have a number of rights under the data privacy laws in the Grantee’s country of residence. For example, the Grantee’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of Personal Data the Company Processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect Personal Data, (iii) request deletion of Personal Data, (iv) place restrictions on Processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent privacy or data protection authorities in the Grantee’s country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Grantee’s Personal Data. To receive clarification regarding the Grantee’s rights or to exercise his or her rights, the Grantee should refer to the relevant privacy policy available at https://www.wexinc.com/workday/legal-notices/ and contact his or her local human resources department. g) Personal Data Retention. The Company and its Service Provider will retain the Grantee’s Personal Data no longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was processed for the duration of this Agreement, unless a longer period is required to comply with applicable laws. Retention periods may vary depending on i) purpose for which the Personal Data was collected and used, which may differ depending on the nature of the Personal Data and the activities involved, ii) the length of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, or iii) whether there are legal obligations to which either the Company or the Grantee are subject. h) For more information on how the Company processes the Grantee’s Personal Data, please refer to the relevant privacy policy available at https://www.wexinc.com/workday/legal-notices/. Language: 28) Language. The Grantee warrants and represents that the Grantee is fluent in English and fully and unmistakably understands the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If the Grantee has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version differs from the English version, the English version shall control. Imposition of Other Requirements: 29) Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, on the Award and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. Additional Acknowledgements and Authorizations: 30) Additional Acknowledgements and Authorizations. By accepting the Award, the Grantee acknowledges, understands and agrees that: a) the future value of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Award is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty; b) neither the Company, the Employer, nor any other subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Grantee’s local currency and the United States


 
Dollar that may affect the value of the Award, any payment made pursuant to the Award, or the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan; and c) the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding participation in the Plan or the acquisition or sale of the shares of Common Stock. The Grantee should consult with his or her personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. New Zealand Warning This is an offer of Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units in WEX Inc. Upon their vesting (as further set out in this document) as Common Stock, Common Stock gives you a stake in the ownership of WEX Inc. You may receive a return on Common Stock if dividends are paid. If WEX Inc. runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, you will be paid only after all creditors and holders of preference shares have been paid. You may lose some or all of your investment. New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors to make an informed decision. The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share purchase scheme. As a result, you may not be given all the information usually required. You will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment. Ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing yourself. The Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units themselves are not quoted and are not transferable. You are not able to sell Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units. However, upon vesting in accordance with these terms, the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units will be vested as shares of Common Stock. Common Stock is quoted on the New York Stock Exchange. This means you may be able to sell your vested Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange if there are interested buyers. You may get less than you invested. The price will depend on the demand for the Common Stock. Confidential and Proprietary Information: The following provisions replace Section 4 of the Agreement in its entirety: 4. Confidential and Proprietary Information. The Grantee acknowledges that in connection with his/her employment with the Company and/or its subsidiaries, the Grantee is placed in a position of confidence and trust with the Company, and in line with that position has and will continue to have access to information of a nature not generally disclosed to the public. The Grantee agrees to keep confidential and not: (i) use or (ii) disclose to anyone any Confidential and Proprietary Information, except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company, as required by law or as authorized by the Board of Directors. “Confidential and Proprietary Information” includes but is not limited to all Company and/or its subsidiaries’ trade secrets, business and strategic plans, financial details, computer programs, manuals, contracts, current and prospective client and supplier lists, and all other documentation, business


 
knowledge, data, material, property and supplier lists, and developments owned, possessed or controlled by the Company and/or its subsidiaries, regardless of whether possessed or developed by the Grantee in the course of his/her employment. Such Confidential and Proprietary Information may or may not be designated as confidential or proprietary and may be oral, written or electronic media. The Grantee understands that such information is owned and shall continue to be owned solely by the Company, and hereby represents that he/she has not and will not disclose, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any Confidential and Proprietary Information. The Grantee acknowledges that he/she has complied and will continue to comply with this commitment, both as an employee and after the termination of his/her employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential and Proprietary Information does not include any information that: (1) is already in the public domain or becomes available to the public through no breach by the Grantee of this Agreement; (2) was lawfully in the Grantee’s possession prior to disclosure to the Grantee by the Company and/or its subsidiaries; (3) is lawfully disclosed to the Grantee by a third party (other than the Company, or any of its representatives, agents or employees) without any obligations of confidentiality attaching to such disclosure; or (4) is developed by the Grantee entirely on his/her own time without the Company’s (and/or its subsidiaries’) equipment, supplies or facilities and does not relate at the time of conception to the Company’s (and/or its subsidiaries’) business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development. Information shall not be deemed to be in the public domain merely because any part of said information is embodied in general disclosures or because individual features, components, or combinations thereof are now or become known to the public or are in the public domain. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation: The following provisions replace Section 5 of the Agreement in its entirety: 5. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. In consideration of the promises contained herein and the Grantee’s access and exposure to Confidential and Proprietary Information provided to him/her, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Grantee agrees that during his/her employment with the Company and/or its subsidiaries and for the Restraint Period following the termination of his/her employment with the Company and/or its subsidiaries for any reason, he/she shall not, on behalf of the Grantee him/herself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, entity or organization other than the Company, whether as an agent or otherwise: (a) Contact, provide advice to, solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company and/or its subsidiaries, where such prospective customers, clients and/or patrons were in negotiations with the Company, and with whom the Grantee directly performed any services or had direct business dealings; (b) Contact, provide advice to, solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company and/or its subsidiaries, where such prospective customers, clients and/or patrons were in negotiations with the Company, whose entity- or other customer-


 
specific information the Grantee had access to and contact with as a result of the Grantee’s access to Company Confidential and Proprietary Information; (c) Solicit or induce, either directly or indirectly, any employee of the Company Group, with whom the Grantee had a business relationship and/or dealings, to leave the employ of the Company Group or become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than the Company Group; or take any action to assist any subsequent employer or any other person, entity or organization, either directly or indirectly, in soliciting or inducing any Company employee to leave the employ of the Company Group become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than the Company Group; or hire or employ, or assist in the hiring or employment of, either directly or indirectly, any individual employed by the Company Group; (d) In the Restraint Area, become employed by, render services to or directly or indirectly (whether for compensation or otherwise, and whether as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, lender, investor, corporate officer, board member, director, or in any other individual or representative capacity) own or hold a proprietary interest in, manage, operate, or control, or join or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or furnish any capital to or be connected in any manner with, any Competing Enterprise. For purposes of this Sub-Section 5(d), a “Competing Enterprise” means any entity, organization or person engaged, or planning to become engaged, in substantially the same or similar business to that being conducted or actively and specifically planned to be conducted during the Grantee’s employment with the Company, or its subsidiaries, and of which the Grantee was aware. It includes, without limitation: (i) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being involved in providing any products or services relating to transaction or payment processing, including those for the benefit of fleets; travel; healthcare; education; payroll; or, benefits through charge cards, credit cards, procurement cards or any other form of payment services or electronic commerce; (ii) the sale, distribution or publication of petroleum product pricing or management information or other products or services currently sold or to the best of the Grantee’s knowledge contemplated to be sold by the Company or any of its owned or controlled subsidiaries, and (iii) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being involved in providing commercial travel, entertainment and purchasing credit cards. Furthermore, the restrictions in this Section shall not be construed to prevent the Grantee from, following the termination of the Grantee’s Company Group Service, working for a business entity that does not compete with the Company or its subsidiaries simply because the entity is affiliated with a Competing Enterprise, so long as the entity is operationally separate and distinct from the Competing Enterprise and the Grantee’s job responsibilities at that entity are unrelated to the Competing Enterprise. The restrictions in this Section will not apply to employment by or the rendering of services to businesses that sell fuel or convenience items if those businesses are not directly competing with the Company or its subsidiaries, owned or controlled. The restrictions in this Section shall also not be deemed to prohibit the Grantee from owning not more than one


 
percent (1%) of the total shares of all classes of stock of any publicly held company; and/or (e) Subject to Section 5, and except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise explicitly directed in writing by an officer of the Company, directly or through others: (a) provide any confidential information, including any information derived from the Grantee’s experience with the Company, to (i) any competitor of the Company, (ii) any person the Grantee knows or has reason to believe may be an investor or prospective investor in the Company, (iii) a member of the media, (iv) any prospective acquirer of the Company, (v) any litigant or potential litigant against the Company, (vi) any other person seeking information regarding the Company (including, without limitation, information with respect to its business, executives, directors, balance sheet, history, prospects or opportunities) or seeking to change or influence the control of the Company, or (vii) any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing (any such person described in clauses (i) to (vii), a “Potential Adverse Party”); (b) make, publicly or privately, any statements that disparage, or could otherwise cause harm to, the business or reputation of the Company and/or any current or former officer, director or employee of the Company; (c) join a “group” or become a “participant” in a solicitation with respect to the Company (other than a solicitation by the Board of Directors), as those terms are defined in applicable securities laws; and (d) to the extent permitted by law, aid, encourage, advise or otherwise provide assistance to any Potential Adverse Party in (i) asserting, prosecuting or defending any claim, action or proceeding against the Company, (ii) undertaking a proxy contest, withhold campaign or other shareholder activism campaign or proxy solicitation against the Company, (iii) proposing to acquire the Company or any of its assets or subsidiaries or (iv) making any other demands of the Company. If the Grantee is contacted by any Potential Adverse Party, the Grantee shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Company’s Chief Legal Officer (the “CLO”), and shall not discuss the Company with any such Potential Adverse Party without prior written approval from the CLO. For the purposes of this Section 6, “Restraint Period” means: (1) Twelve (12) months from the Grantee’s last day of employment with the Company, or if a court holds this period to be unreasonable or invalid, then: (2) Nine (9) months from the Grantee’s last day of employment with the Company, or if a court holds this period to be unreasonable or invalid, then: (3) Six (6) months from the Grantee’s last day of employment with the Company. For the purposes of this Section 6, “Restraint Area" means: (1) New Zealand, or if a court holds this geographical scope to be unreasonable or invalid for any reason, then: (2) Auckland and/or any other region and/or location in which the Company or any other company in the WEX group conducts business during the Grantee’s employment with the Company and in which the Grantee was involved and/or had


 
knowledge of Confidential and Proprietary Information in respect of, or if a court holds this geographical scope to be unreasonable or invalid for any reason, then; (3) Auckland. For the purposes of this Section 6, the parties understand and agree that the “Company” means WEX Inc. and any of its holding or subsidiary companies as defined by the Companies Act 1993 (NZ) as amended from time to time. The Company Group have previously entered into agreements with certain executives and employees that contain restrictive covenants (“Restrictions”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee is party to an employment or other agreement containing Restrictions on (a) confidentiality, (b) solicitation of customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group, (c) solicitation or hire of Company employees, and/or (d) competition (collectively, “Existing Restrictions”), any such Existing Restrictions will remain in effect and the Grantee shall remain bound by such Existing Restrictions, rather than the Restrictions contained in this Section 6. The Grantee agrees and acknowledges that the Restraint Period, Restraint Area, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this Agreement are fair, and reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company. The Grantee also acknowledges that in the event the Grantee breaches any part of Sections 5 or 6, the damages to the Company and its subsidiaries would be irreparable. Therefore, in addition to penalties, monetary damages and interest and/or legal costs, the Company shall have the right to seek injunctive and/or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement. Further, the Grantee consents to the issuance of an interim injunction to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of any proceeding. The Grantee further understands and agrees that if the Grantee breaches any covenant set forth in Section 6, the duration of any covenant so breached shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, automatically be tolled from the date of the first breach until the date judicial relief providing effective remedy for such breach or breaches is obtained by the Company, or until the Company states in writing that it will seek no judicial relief for such breach. The parties undertake and agree that the restrictive covenants outlined in Section 6 constitute a reasonable bargain between the parties for the consideration that will be provided by the Company in exchange for the Grantee entering into the restrictive covenants as outlined. Each restrictive covenant in this Section 6 (resulting from any combination of the wording in this Section 6, including the relevant definitions) constitutes a separate restrictive covenant that is severable from the other restrictive covenants. If any one or more provisions of this Section 6 shall for any reason be held to be unreasonable, void, voidable, unenforceable or illegal by a court or tribunal as to the Restraint Period, Restraint Area, activity or subject, because it goes beyond what is reasonable to protect the Company and its business or for any other reason, then the parties specifically agree that in accordance with section 83 of the Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017 (NZ) as amended from time to time, the offensive part will be severed and the other restrictive covenants will remain in full force and effect to the greatest extent permitted by law or a court may modify the provision to the extent that it would be deemed reasonable in order to give effect to the terms of the restrictive covenant so modified. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that a court may modify provision contained within this Section 6


 
notwithstanding that such a modification cannot be effected by the deletion of words from the provision. The Grantee agrees that the Company may send a copy of this Agreement to, or otherwise make the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement known to, any of the Grantee’s potential and future employers or other entity considering engaging the Grantee or which has engaged or employed the Grantee where such engagement would breach the terms of this Agreement. The Grantee agrees not to assert any claim that such conduct by the Company is legally actionable interference or otherwise impermissible regardless of whether or not the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 are later found to be enforceable in whole or in part. The Grantee understands, acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee has been provided with an opportunity to seek independent legal advice before deciding whether or not to enter into this Agreement and that the Grantee has made the decision on the Grantee’s own accord to agree to the restrictive covenants contained within this Section 6 in exchange for the consideration that the Company is providing as outlined herein. Mindful of the obligations set forth in Sections 5 and 6, upon termination of the Grantee’s employment, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company. No Rights to Continued Service: The following provision supplements Section 9 of the Agreement: The grant of Awards under the Plan is made at the discretion of the Company and the Plan may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time. The grant of an Award in one (1) year or at one time does not in any way entitle the Grantee to an Award in the future. The Plan is wholly discretionary and is not to be considered part of the Grantee's normal or expected compensation subject to severance, resignation, redundancy or similar compensation. The value of the Award is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of the Grantee's employment contract (if any). Imposition of Other Requirements: 26) Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, on the Award and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. Additional Acknowledgements and Authorizations: 27) Additional Acknowledgements and Authorizations. By accepting the Award, the Grantee acknowledges, understands and agrees that: a) the future value of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Award is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty; b) neither the Company, the Employer, nor any other subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Grantee’s local currency and the United States


 
Dollar that may affect the value of the Award, any payment made pursuant to the Award, or the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan; and c) the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding participation in the Plan or the acquisition or sale of the shares of Common Stock. The Grantee should consult with his or her personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

The Plan is wholly discretionary and is not to be considered part of the Grantee's normal or expected compensation subject to severance, resignation, redundancy or similar compensation. The value of the Award is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of the Grantee's employment contract (if any).

foregoing, in circumstances giving rise to a claim for wrongful dismissal) insofar as those rights arise or may arise from the Grantee’s ceasing to have rights under the Plan or being entitled to this Award as a result of such termination, or from the loss or diminution in value of such rights or entitlements.

The Company and the Grantee hereby consent to service of process in any such proceeding, and agree that service of process by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at the Grantee’s address specified pursuant to Section 15 is reasonably calculated to give actual notice. Severability: Section 20 of the Agreement does not apply.

The Grantee is obliged to notify the Employer in writing of any interest the Grantee has in any Group Company, including any interest in shares, debentures, participatory interests, rights, options, and contracts in relation to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units entitling the Grantee to Common Stock.

The Grantee may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Grantee’s Personal Data from the Company at privacy@wexinc.com. The Grantee understands that his or her Personal Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Grantee’s participation in the Plan. The Grantee may, at any time, view the Grantee’s Personal Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Grantee’s Personal Data, require any necessary amendments to the Grantee’s Personal Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein by contacting privacy@wexinc.com (please note that depending on the nature and scope of the Grantee’s request, the Company may not be in a position to continue the Grantee’s participation in the Plan or entitlements under the Plan).

To the extent the restrictions contained in this Agreement conflict in any way with any Existing Restriction(s), such conflict shall be resolved by giving effect to the restrictions in this Agreement. If after the date of this Agreement the Grantee subsequently agrees to enter into an agreement containing restrictive covenants (“Subsequent Restrictions”), to the extent that the restrictions contained in this Agreement conflict in any way with any Subsequent Restrictions, such conflict shall be resolved by giving effect to the Subsequent Restrictions. 6.2.5 The Grantee hereby agrees that the Grantee will at the request and cost of the Company enter into a direct agreement or undertaking with any Group Company whereby the Grantee will accept restrictions and provisions corresponding to the restrictions and provisions in this Agreement (or such of them as may be appropriate in the circumstances) in relation to such activities and such area and for such a period as such Group Company may reasonably require for the protection of its legitimate business interests. 6.2.6 If the Grantee’s employment transfers by operation of law to a third party (the “Transferee”), this Agreement shall with effect from that transfer of employment apply to the Grantee as if references to the Company included the Transferee and references to


 
any Group Company were construed accordingly, and as if the references to defined terms in respect of the Company and any Group Company including but not limited to "Customer", "Prospective Customer" and "Critical Employee", applied to the customers, prospective customers and critical employees of the Transferee and their respective Group Companies. The Grantee agrees to execute any such documents as may be required to effectuate said benefit. 6.2.7 Each of the restrictions contained in this Section 6.2, each definition set out in Section 6.1, each limb of such definition and each operative word within each Sub-Section or definition is intended to be an entirely separate, severable and independent restriction, notwithstanding that they are combined together for the sake of brevity, and the Grantee agrees not to advance any argument to the contrary. In the event that any of the restrictions shall be held to be void or ineffective but would be valid and effective if some part of the wording thereof were deleted such restriction shall apply with such modification as may be necessary to make it valid and effective. If such a deletion applies to a definition, such deletion shall not apply to any other restriction, so that each definition is deemed to be repeated each time it is used. 6.2.8 The Grantee agrees, during the period of twelve (12) months immediately following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason, to disclose to the Company, in writing, any person or entity with whom the Grantee becomes employed, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated, the Grantee’s date of hire or engagement, the Grantee’s job title, and a complete description of the Grantee’s duties. The Grantee agrees to make such disclosure to the Company no later than the date on which the Grantee accepts or otherwise agrees to become employed by, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated with such person or entity. 6.2.9 While the Grantee is employed with the Company and for a period of at least twelve (12) months thereafter, the Grantee will provide any person or entity that the Grantee seeks an offer of employment or other engagement or retention from notice of the existence of this Agreement and the terms of Sections 5 and 6 before requesting or accepting such an offer. If the Grantee fails to provide such notice, the Grantee understands that the Grantee may be held liable for any consequential damages resulting from such failure. The Grantee agrees that the Company may send a copy of this Agreement to, or otherwise make the provisions of Sections 5 or 6of this Agreement known to, any of the Grantee’s potential and future employers or other entity considering engaging the Grantee or which has engaged or employed the Grantee. The Grantee agrees not to assert any claim that such conduct by the Company is legally actionable interference or otherwise impermissible regardless of whether or not the provisions of Sections 5 or 6are later found to be enforceable in whole or in part. 6.2.10 Upon termination of the Grantee’s employment, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company as a reminder and ratification of the Grantee undertaking to comply with the Grantee obligations under this agreement. 6.2.11 The Grantee acknowledges that the period of time, geographical scope, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this Agreement are fair,


 
reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company and any Group Company.

Data Privacy: 28) Data Privacy. a) The Company, in its capacity as Controller, grants Awards under the Plan to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries in its sole discretion. In conjunction with the Company’s grant of the Award under the Plan and its ongoing administration of such awards, the Company collects, uses and otherwise processes (“Process (es)(ing)”) the Grantee’s personal data (“Personal Data”), including the Grantee’s name, home address, email address, and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any shares of Common Stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Awards or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor, which the Company receives from the Grantee or the Employer. b) Data Collection, Processing and Usage. In granting the Award under the Plan, the Company will Process the Grantee’s Personal Data for purposes of allocating shares of Common Stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis, where required, for the Processing of the Grantee’s Personal Data is the necessity for the Company to (i) perform its contractual obligations under this Agreement, (ii) comply with legal obligations established in the European Union, European Economic Area, and the United Kingdom (“EEA+”), and/or (iii) pursue the legitimate interest of complying with legal obligations established outside of the EEA+.


 
c) Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. The Company transfers the Grantee’s Personal Data to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and its affiliates, independent service providers based in the United States, which assist the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan (the “Service Provider”). In the future, the Company may select a different Service Provider and share the Grantee’s Personal Data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Service Provider will open an account for the Grantee to receive and trade shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan. The Grantee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Service Provider, which is a condition to the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan. d) International Data Transfers. The Company and the Service Provider are based in the United States. The Grantee should note that the Grantee’s country of residence may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. In order to protect the Grantee’s privacy, where Personal Data are transferred by or on behalf of the Company to other countries or organizations that have not been recognized as providing regulatory protection similar to the Grantee’s country, the Company contractually obliges its international entities, affiliates and service providers to comply with the applicable data protection laws and principles through standard clauses that have been approved or recognized by the relevant regulators. The Company also relies on the Grantee’s consent per this Agreement as the legal basis for the transfer of the Grantee’s Personal Data to the United States is the Grantee’s consent. e) Voluntariness and Consequences of Failure to Perform Under the Agreement, Consent Denial or Consent Withdrawal. The Grantee’s participation in the Plan and his or her performance under this Agreement, including agreeing to the Processing of the necessary Personal Data is purely voluntary. The Grantee may end his or her participation in the Plan, terminate this Agreement or deny or withdraw his or her consent to the transfer of his or her Personal Data at any time. If the Grantee does not consent, or if the Grantee later withdraws his or her consent, the Grantee may be unable to participate in the Plan. This will not affect the Grantee’s existing employment or salary; instead, the Grantee merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan. f) Data Subjects Rights. The Grantee may have a number of rights under the data privacy laws in the Grantee’s country of residence. For example, the Grantee’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of Personal Data the Company Processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect Personal Data, (iii) request deletion of Personal Data, (iv) place restrictions on Processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent privacy or data protection authorities in the Grantee’s country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Grantee’s Personal Data. To receive clarification regarding the Grantee’s rights or to exercise his or her rights, the Grantee should refer to the relevant privacy policy available at https://www.wexinc.com/workday/legal-notices/ and contact his or her local human resources department. g) Personal Data Retention. The Company and its Service Provider will retain the Grantee’s Personal Data no longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was processed for the duration of this Agreement, unless a longer period is required to comply with applicable laws. Retention periods may vary depending on i) purpose for which the Personal Data was collected and used, which may differ depending on the nature of the Personal Data and the activities involved, ii) the length of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, or iii) whether there are legal obligations to which either the Company or the Grantee are subject.

Additional Acknowledgements and Authorizations: 29) Additional Acknowledgements and Authorizations By accepting the Award, the Grantee consents to participation in the Plan and acknowledges that the Grantee has received a copy of the Plan. The Grantee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously, and in its sole discretion decided to grant the Award under the Plan to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not bind the Company or any subsidiary, other than to the extent set forth in this Agreement. Consequently, the Grantee understands that the Award is granted on the assumption and condition that the Award and any shares acquired at vesting of the Award are not part of any employment or service contract (either with the Company or any subsidiary), and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation), or any other right whatsoever. In addition, the Grantee understands that this grant would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Grantee acknowledges and freely accepts that, should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant of or right to the Award shall be null and void. Further, the Grantee understands that he or she will not be entitled to continue vesting in any Award upon cessation of the Grantee’s employment or service, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

Potential Adverse Party and Non-Disparagement 6C.1 Subject to Sub-Section 5.7 above, and except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Employer in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise explicitly directed in writing by an officer of the Employer or the Company, the Grantee shall not during the Grantee’s employment with Employer and during the Restricted Period, directly or through others: 6C.1.1 provide to a Potential Adverse Party any information derived from the Grantee’s experience with the Employer or any Group Company; 6C.1.2 make, publicly or privately, any statements that disparage, or could otherwise

For the purposes of this Section 6, acts done by the Grantee outside the Restricted Area shall nonetheless be deemed to be done within the Restricted Area where their primary purpose is to distribute, sell, supply or otherwise deal with Restricted Goods or Restricted Services in the Restricted Area. The restrictions imposed in Sub-Sections 5B and 5C of this Agreement apply to the Grantee acting: (i) directly or indirectly; and (ii) on the Grantee’s own behalf or on behalf of, or in conjunction with, any firm, company or person. 6E. This Section 6 shall not prevent the Grantee from: 6E.1. holding a Permitted Investment; or 6E.2. being engaged in or rendering services to, any business concern during the Restricted Period, provided that the Grantee’s duties or work shall 6E.2.1. relate solely to services or activities of a kind with which the Grantee (or an employee under the Grantee’s direct supervision) was not concerned to a material extent during the Relevant Period; and 6E.2.2. there is no risk of conscious or subconscious direct or indirect transmission of Confidential Information or trade secrets. 6F. The Employer has previously entered into agreements with certain executives and employees that contain restrictive covenants (“Restrictions”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee is party to an employment or other agreement containing Restrictions on (a) confidentiality, (b) solicitation of customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Employer, (c) solicitation or hire of employees of the Employer, and/or (d) competition (collectively, “Existing Restrictions”), any such Existing Restrictions will remain in


 
effect and the Grantee shall remain bound by such Existing Restrictions. To the extent the restrictions contained in Sections 5 or 6of this Agreement conflict in any way with any Existing Restriction(s), such conflict shall be resolved by giving effect first to the enforceable restrictions in this Agreement. 6G. The Grantee hereby agrees that the Grantee will at the request and cost of the Employer enter into a direct agreement or undertaking with any Group Company whereby the Grantee will accept restrictions and provisions corresponding to the restrictions and provisions in Sections 5 and 6 (or such of them as may be appropriate in the circumstances) in relation to such activities and such area and for such a period as such Group Company may reasonably require for the protection of its legitimate business interests. 6H. If the Grantee’s employment transfers by operation of law to a third party (the “Transferee”), Sections 5 and 6 shall with effect from that transfer of employment apply to the Grantee as if references to the Employer included the Transferee and references to any Group Company were construed accordingly, and as if the references to defined terms in respect of the Employer and any Group Company including but not limited to "Customer", "Prospective Customer" and "Critical Employee", applied to the customers, prospective customers and critical employees of the Transferee and their respective Group Companies. The Grantee agrees to execute any such documents as may be required to effectuate said benefit. 6I. Each of the restrictions contained in this Section 6, each definition set out in Sub-Section 5A, each limb of such definition and each operative word within each Sub-Section or definition is intended to be an entirely separate, severable and independent restriction, notwithstanding that they are combined together for the sake of brevity, and the Grantee agrees not to advance any argument to the contrary. In the event that any of the restrictions shall be held to be void or ineffective but would be valid and effective if some part of the wording thereof were deleted such restriction shall apply with such modification as may be necessary to make it valid and effective. If such a deletion applies to a definition, such deletion shall not apply to any other restriction, so that each definition is deemed to be repeated each time it is used. 6J. The Grantee warrants that s/he will provide a copy of this Agreement to any employer or other person to whom or with whom the Grantee is intending to provide services or enter into employment within the Restricted Period, and that the Grantee will do so before entering into any contractually binding agreement to perform such services or enter into employment. 6K. Immediately after agreeing to provide services to or enter into employment with any third party during the Restricted Period, the Grantee will notify the Employer of the identity of that third party. 6L. Mindful of the obligations set forth in Sections 5 and 6, upon termination of the Grantee’s employment, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Employer. 6M. The Grantee agrees and acknowledges that the period of time, geographical scope, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this


 
Agreement are fair, and reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Employer and Group Company. No Rights to Continued Service: The following provisions supplement Section 9 of the Agreement: The grant of Awards under the Plan is made at the discretion of the Company and the Plan may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time. The grant of an Award in one (1) year or at one time does not in any way entitle the Grantee to an Award in the future. The Plan is wholly discretionary and is not to be considered part of the Grantee's normal or expected compensation subject to severance, resignation, redundancy, or similar compensation. The value of the Award is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of the Grantee's employment contract. The rights and obligations of the Grantee under the terms of the Grantee’s office or employment with the Grantee’s employing entity, any past or present subsidiary, or associated or affiliate company of the Company shall not be affected by the Grantee’s participation in the Plan or the grant of this Award or any right which the Grantee may have to participate therein, and the Grantee hereby waives all and any rights to compensation or damages in consequence of the termination of the Grantee’s office or employment with any such company for any reasons whatsoever (whether lawful or unlawful and including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, in circumstances giving rise to a claim for wrongful dismissal) insofar as those rights arise or may arise from the Grantee’s ceasing to have rights under the Plan or being entitled to this Award as a result of such termination, or from the loss or diminution in value of such rights or entitlements. Governing Law The following provision replaces Section 10 of the Agreement in its entirety: 10) Governing Law. Save for taxation and the Sections which have been replaced or amended for the United Kingdom as set forth herein (Sections 5, 6, 10, 13, 26, 27, 28, 29) which shall be governed by the laws of England and Wales, this Agreement and the legal relations between the parties shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. Consent to Jurisdiction: The following provision replaces Section 11 of the Agreement in its entirety: 11) Consent to Jurisdiction. The Company and the Grantee, by the Grantee’s execution hereof, (a) hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Delaware for the purposes of any claim or action arising out of or based upon this Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof, save for any claim or action arising out of or based upon the “United Kingdom” section of Exhibit A of this Agreement, which each party irrevocably agrees to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts (b) hereby waive, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, and agree not to assert by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such claim or action, any claim that the Grantee is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that the Grantee’s property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that any such proceeding brought in the above-named court is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not


 
be enforced in or by such court and (c) hereby agree not to commence any claim or action arising out of or based upon this Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof other than before the above-named courts nor to make any motion or take any other action seeking or intending to cause the transfer or removal of any such claim or action to any court other than the above- named courts whether on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise; provided, however, that the Company and the Grantee may seek to enforce a judgment issued by the above-named courts in any proper jurisdiction. The Company and the Grantee hereby consent to service of process in any such proceeding, and agree that service of process by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at the Grantee’s address specified pursuant to Section 15 is reasonably calculated to give actual notice. Tax Obligations: The following provisions replace Section 8 of the Agreement in its entirety: 8) Tax Obligations. As a condition to the granting of the Award and the vesting thereof, the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee is responsible for the payment of UK income tax and employee's primary Class 1 national insurance contribution liabilities (and any other taxes required to be withheld) payable in connection with the vesting of an Award. Accordingly, the Grantee agrees to remit to the Company or any applicable subsidiary an amount sufficient to pay such taxes. Such payment shall be made to the Company or the applicable subsidiary of the Company in a form that is reasonably acceptable to the Company, as the Company may determine in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may retain and withhold from delivery at the time of vesting that number of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal to the taxes owed by the Grantee, which retained shares shall fund the payment of such taxes by the Company on behalf of the Grantee. Further to the above, the Grantee agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer in respect of any income tax liability which falls to be paid to UK HM Revenue & Customs ("HMRC") by the Company or the Employer under the Income Tax (Earnings & Pensions) Act 2003 ("ITEPA") and the PAYE regulations referred to in it, and any employees' primary Class 1 national insurance contributions which fall to be paid to HMRC by the Company or the Employer under the PAYE system as it applies for national insurance purposes under the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 and the regulations referred to in it arising in connection with the grant, vesting or cancellation of the Award or the acquisition or other dealing in the shares of Common Stock acquired. If so required by the Company, and if the shares subject to the Award are considered to be "restricted securities" for the purposes of Part 7, Chapter 2 ITEPA (such determination to be made by the Company in its absolute discretion), settlement of the Award will be conditional on the Grantee executing a joint election pursuant to section 431 ITEPA together with the Employer in order to elect that the market value of the shares subject to the Award be calculated as if such shares were not "restricted securities". Electronic Delivery and Acceptance: The following provision replaces Section 25 of the Agreement in its entirety: 25) Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Grantee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery


 
and agrees to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company. Data Privacy: 26) Data Privacy a) The Company, in its capacity as Controller, grants Awards under the Plan to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries in its sole discretion. In conjunction with the Company’s grant of the Award under the Plan and its ongoing administration of such awards, the Company collects, uses and otherwise processes (“Process (es)(ing)”) the Grantee’s personal data (“Personal Data”), including the Grantee’s name, home address, email address, and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any shares of Common Stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Awards or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor, which the Company receives from the Grantee or the Employer. b) Data Collection, Processing and Usage. In granting the Award under the Plan, the Company will Process the Grantee’s Personal Data for purposes of allocating shares of Common Stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis, where required, for the Processing of the Grantee’s Personal Data is the necessity for the Company to (i) perform its contractual obligations under this Agreement, (ii) comply with legal obligations established in the European Union, European Economic Area, and the United Kingdom (“EEA+”), and/or (iii) pursue the legitimate interest of complying with legal obligations established outside of the EEA+. c) Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. The Company transfers the Grantee’s Personal Data to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and its affiliates, independent service providers based in the United States, which assist the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan (the “Service Provider”). In the future, the Company may select a different Service Provider and share the Grantee’s Personal Data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Service Provider will open an account for the Grantee to receive and trade shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan. The Grantee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Service Provider, which is a condition to the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan. d) International Data Transfers. The Company and the Service Provider are based in the United States. The Grantee should note that the Grantee’s country of residence may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. In order to protect the Grantee’s privacy, where Personal Data are transferred by or on behalf of the Company to other countries or organizations that have not been recognized as providing regulatory protection similar to the Grantee’s country, the Company contractually obliges its international entities, affiliates and service providers to comply with the applicable data protection laws and principles through standard clauses that have been approved or recognized by the relevant regulators. The Company also relies on the Grantee’s consent per this Agreement as the legal basis for the transfer of the Grantee’s Personal Data to the United States is the Grantee’s consent.


 
e) Voluntariness and Consequences of Failure to Perform Under the Agreement, Consent Denial or Consent Withdrawal. The Grantee’s participation in the Plan and his or her performance under this Agreement, including agreeing to the Processing of the necessary Personal Data is purely voluntary. The Grantee may end his or her participation in the Plan, terminate this Agreement or deny or withdraw his or her consent to the transfer of his or her Personal Data at any time. If the Grantee does not consent, or if the Grantee later withdraws his or her consent, the Grantee may be unable to participate in the Plan. This will not affect the Grantee’s existing employment or salary; instead, the Grantee merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan. f) Data Subjects Rights. The Grantee may have a number of rights under the data privacy laws in the Grantee’s country of residence. For example, the Grantee’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of Personal Data the Company Processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect Personal Data, (iii) request deletion of Personal Data, (iv) place restrictions on Processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent privacy or data protection authorities in the Grantee’s country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Grantee’s Personal Data. To receive clarification regarding the Grantee’s rights or to exercise his or her rights, the Grantee should refer to the relevant privacy policy available at https://www.wexinc.com/workday/legal-notices/ and contact their local human resources department. g) Personal Data Retention. The Company and its Service Provider will retain the Grantee’s Personal Data no longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was processed for the duration of this Agreement, unless a longer period is required to comply with applicable laws. Retention periods may vary depending on i) purpose for which the Personal Data was collected and used, which may differ depending on the nature of the Personal Data and the activities involved, ii) the length of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, or iii) whether there are legal obligations to which either the Company or the Grantee are subject. h) For more information on how the Company processes the Grantee’s Personal Data, please refer to the relevant privacy policy available at https://www.wexinc.com/workday/legal-notices/. Imposition of Other Requirements: 27) Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, on the Award and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. Electronic Delivery and Acceptance: 28) Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Grantee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company. Additional Acknowledgements and Authorizations:


 
29) Additional Acknowledgements and Authorizations. By accepting the Award, the Grantee acknowledges, understands and agrees that: a) the future value of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Award is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty; b) neither the Company, the Employer, nor any other subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Grantee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Award, any payment made pursuant to the Award, or the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan; and c) the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding participation in the Plan or the acquisition or sale of the shares of Common Stock. The Grantee should consult with his or her personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. Rights of Third Parties: 30) Rights of Third Parties. With the exception of Group Companies and assignees of the Company who may enforce the rights and benefits of this Agreement pursuant to Section 1 of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999: a) a person who is not a party to this Agreement will not have any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this Agreement; and b) the parties to this Agreement may vary or terminate this Agreement by agreement between them without requiring the consent of any Group Company or assignees of the Company and without needing to comply with Section 2(1) of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

In consideration of the promises contained herein and the Grantee’s access and exposure to Confidential and Proprietary Information provided to the Grantee, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Grantee agrees that: (a) During Grantee’s Service and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the Vesting Date, the Grantee shall not, on behalf of the Grantee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, entity or organization other than the Company, whether as an agent or otherwise, contact, call on, provide advice to, solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or


 
influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company whose entity- or other customer-specific information the Grantee discovered or gained access to as a result of the Grantee’s access to Company Confidential and Proprietary Information; (b) During the Grantee’s Service and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the Vesting Date, the Grantee shall not, on behalf of the Grantee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, entity or organization other than the Company, whether as an agent or otherwise, utilize the Company Group’s Confidential and Proprietary Information to solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company; (c) During the Grantee’s Service and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the Vesting Date, the Grantee shall not, on behalf of the Grantee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, entity or organization other than the Company, whether as an agent or otherwise, solicit or induce, either directly or indirectly, any employee of the Company to leave the employ of the Company or become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than the Company; or take any action to assist any subsequent employer or any other person, entity or organization, either directly or indirectly, in soliciting or inducing any Company employee to leave the employ of the Company or become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than the Company; or hire or employ, or assist in the hiring or employment of, either directly or indirectly, any individual employed by the Company within sixty (60) days preceding that individual’s hire by the Grantee or the Grantee’s subsequent employer; (d) During the term of the Grantee’s Service, the Grantee promises and agrees that the Grantee will not, in any way, directly or indirectly, either as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, lender, investor, corporate officer, board member, director, or in any other individual or representative capacity, engage or attempt to engage in any competitive activity relating to the subject matter of the Grantee’s Service or relating to the Company Group’s business; and/or (e) Subject to Sub-Section 5(b), and except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise explicitly directed in writing by an officer of the Company, directly or through others: (a) provide any confidential information, including any information derived from the Grantee’s experience with the Company, to (i) any competitor of the Company, (ii) any person the Grantee knows or has reason to believe may be an investor or prospective investor in the Company, (iii) a member of the media,


 
(iv) any prospective acquirer of the Company, (v) any litigant or potential litigant against the Company, (vi) any other person seeking information regarding the Company (including, without limitation, information with respect to its business, executives, directors, balance sheet, history, prospects or opportunities) or seeking to change or influence the control of the Company, or (vii) any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing (any such person described in clauses (i) to (vii), a “Potential Adverse Party”); (b) make, publicly or privately, any statements that disparage, or could otherwise cause harm to, the business or reputation of the Company and/or any current or former officer, director or employee of the Company; (c) join a “group” or become a “participant” in a solicitation with respect to the Company (other than a solicitation by the Board of Directors), as those terms are defined in applicable securities laws; and (d) aid, encourage, advise or otherwise provide assistance to any Potential Adverse Party in (i) asserting, prosecuting or defending any claim, action or proceeding against the Company, (ii) undertaking a proxy contest, withhold campaign or other shareholder activism campaign or proxy solicitation against the Company, (iii) proposing to acquire the Company or any of its assets or subsidiaries or (iv) making any other demands of the Company. If the Grantee is contacted by any Potential Adverse Party, the Grantee shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Company’s Chief Legal Officer (the “CLO”), and shall not discuss the Company with any such Potential Adverse Party without prior written approval from the CLO. The restrictions in this Section shall not be deemed to prohibit the Grantee from owning not more than one percent (1%) of the total shares of all classes of stock of any publicly held company. The Grantee acknowledges that the Company Group’s businesses are conducted internationally and agrees that the provisions in this Section shall operate in any country in which the Company conducts business while the Grantee is/was employed by the Company. The Company has previously entered into agreements with certain executives and employees that contain restrictive covenants (“Restrictions”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee is party to an employment or other agreement containing Restrictions on (a) confidentiality, (b) solicitation of customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company, (c) solicitation or hire of Company employees, and/or (d) competition (collectively, “Existing Restrictions”), any such Existing Restrictions will remain in effect and the Grantee shall remain bound by such Existing Restrictions. To the extent the restrictions contained in Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement conflict in any way with any Existing Restriction(s), such conflict shall be resolved by giving effect to the provision that provides the greatest protection to the Company that is enforceable under applicable law. The Grantee agrees and acknowledges that the period of time, geographical scope, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this Agreement are fair, and reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company. The Grantee also acknowledges that in the event the Grantee breaches any part of Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement, the damages to the Company would be irreparable. Therefore, in addition to monetary damages and/or reasonable attorney fees, the Company shall have the right to seek injunctive and/or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement. Further, the


 
Grantee consents to the issuance of a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of any proceeding. The Grantee further understands and agrees that if the Grantee breaches any covenant set forth in Section 6, the duration of any covenant so breached shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, automatically be tolled from the date of the first breach until the date judicial relief providing effective remedy for such breach or breaches is obtained by the Company, or until the Company states in writing that it will seek no judicial relief for such breach. If any one or more provisions of Sections 5 or 6 shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to time, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed, by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the greatest extent compatible with applicable law as it shall then appear, and the parties expressly agree that any of the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 may be reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled to make such provision enforceable, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the parties consent to the enforcement of such provision as so reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled. The Grantee agrees, during (i) the twelve (12) month period following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, the twelve (12) month period following the Vesting Date, to disclose to the Company, in writing, any person or entity with whom the Grantee becomes employed, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated, the Grantee’s date of hire or engagement, the Grantee’s job title, and a complete description of the Grantee’s duties. The Grantee agrees to make such disclosure to the Company no later than the date on which the Grantee accepts or otherwise agrees to become employed by, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated with such person or entity. While the Grantee is employed with the Company and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the Vesting Date, the Grantee will provide any person or entity that the Grantee seeks an offer of employment or other engagement or retention from notice of the existence of this Agreement and the terms of Sections 5 and 6 before requesting or accepting such an offer. If the Grantee fails to provide such notice, the Grantee understands that the Grantee may be held liable for any consequential damages resulting from such failure. The Grantee agrees that the Company may send a copy of this Agreement to, or otherwise make the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement known to, any of the Grantee’s potential and future employers or other entity considering engaging the Grantee or which has engaged or employed the Grantee. The Grantee agrees not to assert any claim that such conduct by the Company is legally actionable interference or otherwise impermissible regardless of whether or not the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 are later found to be enforceable in whole or in part. Mindful of the obligations set forth in Sections 5 and 6, upon termination of the Grantee’s employment, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

be tolled from the date of the first breach until the date judicial relief providing effective remedy for such breach or breaches is obtained by the Company, or until the Company states in writing that it will seek no judicial relief for such breach. If any one or more provisions of Sections 5 or 6 shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to time, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed, by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the greatest extent compatible with applicable law as it shall then appear, and the parties expressly agree that any of the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 may be reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled to make such provision enforceable, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the parties consent to the enforcement of such provision as so reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled. The Grantee agrees, during (i) the twelve (12) month period following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, the twelve (12) month period following the Vesting Date, to disclose to the Company, in writing, any person or entity with whom the Grantee becomes employed, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated, the Grantee’s date of hire or engagement, the Grantee’s job title, and a complete description of the Grantee’s duties. The Grantee agrees to make such disclosure to the Company no later than the date on which the Grantee accepts or otherwise agrees to become employed by, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated with such person or entity. While the Grantee is employed with the Company and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the Vesting Date, the Grantee will provide any person or entity that the Grantee seeks an offer of employment or other engagement or retention from notice of the existence of this Agreement and the terms of Sections 5 and 6 before requesting or accepting such an offer. If the Grantee fails to provide such notice, the Grantee understands that the Grantee may be held liable for any consequential damages resulting from such failure. The Grantee agrees that the Company may send a copy of this Agreement to, or otherwise make the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement known to, any of the Grantee’s potential and future employers or other entity considering engaging the Grantee or which has engaged or employed the Grantee. The Grantee agrees not to assert any claim that such conduct by the Company is legally actionable interference or otherwise impermissible regardless of whether or not the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 are later found to be enforceable in whole or in part. Mindful of the obligations set forth in Sections 5 and 6, upon termination of the Grantee’s employment, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company. United States - Illinois Only The following provisions are added to the end of Section 6: The provisions of Sub-Section 6(e) shall only apply if the Grantee’s actual or expected annualized rate of earnings exceeds the amount required by 820 ILCS 90/10(a). The provisions of Sub-Sections 6(a), 6(b), 6(c) and 6(d) shall only apply if the Grantee’s actual or expected annualized rate of earnings exceeds the amount required by 820 ILCS 90/10(b). The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee had at least fourteen (14) days to consider this Agreement before


 
being required to sign it and if the Grantee signed it before the expiration of the fourteen (14) day period, the Grantee did so of the Grantee’s own volition and waived the remainder of the fourteen (14) day consideration period. The Company advises the Grantee to consult with an attorney before signing this Agreement, and the Grantee acknowledges that Grantee has been so advised. The Grantee further acknowledges that the promises and benefits provided by the Company to the Grantee constitute professional or financial benefits which are adequate consideration by themselves to support the covenants contained in Section 6. United States - Maine Only The following provisions are added to the end of Section 6: The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Grantee was provided a copy of this Agreement three (3) or more days in advance of any requirement to sign it, (ii) the Grantee earns wages at or above four hundred percent (400%) of the federal poverty level, (iii) Sub-Section 6(e) will not take effect until after one (1) year of the start of the Grantee’s Service or a period of six (6) months from the date this Agreement is signed, whichever is later, and (iv) the restrictions of Sub-Section 6(e) are necessary to protect the Company Group’s trade secrets, confidential information, and goodwill, and that these business interests cannot be adequately protected through alternative restrictive covenants alone. United States - Massachusetts Only Non-Competition The following provisions replace Section 6 of the Agreement in its entirety: 6) Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. In consideration of the promises contained herein and the Grantee’s access and exposure to Confidential and Proprietary Information provided to the Grantee, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Grantee agrees that during the Grantee’s Service and continuing thereafter (1) with respect to Sub-Sections 5(a) through 5(d), (i) until twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, until twelve (12) months following the Vesting Date, (2) with respect to Sub-Section 6(e), until twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason and (3) with respect to Sub-Section 6(f), in perpetuity, the Grantee shall not, on behalf of the Grantee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, entity or organization other than the Company, whether as an agent or otherwise: (a) Contact, call on, provide advice to, solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company with whom the Grantee directly performed any services or had any direct business contact; (b) Contact, call on, provide advice to, solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons


 
of the Company whose entity- or other customer-specific information the Grantee discovered or gained access to as a result of the Grantee’s access to Company Confidential and Proprietary Information; (c) Utilize the Company Group’s Confidential and Proprietary Information to solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company; (d) Solicit or induce, either directly or indirectly, any employee of the Company to leave the employ of the Company or become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than the Company; or take any action to assist any subsequent employer or any other person, entity or organization, either directly or indirectly, in soliciting or inducing any Company employee to leave the employ of the Company or become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than the Company; or hire or employ, or assist in the hiring or employment of, either directly or indirectly, any individual employed by the Company within sixty (60) days preceding that individual’s hire by the Grantee or the Grantee’s subsequent employer; (e) Become employed by, render services to or directly or indirectly (whether for compensation or otherwise, and whether as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, lender, investor, corporate officer, board member, director, or in any other individual or representative capacity), own or hold a proprietary interest in, manage, operate, or control, or join or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or furnish any capital to or be connected in any manner with, any Competing Enterprise. For purposes of this Sub-Section 6(e), a “Competing Enterprise” means any entity, organization or person engaged, or planning to become engaged, in substantially the same or similar business to that being conducted or actively and specifically planned to be conducted during the Grantee’s Service or within six (6) months after the Grantee’s termination of Service or its subsidiaries, owned or controlled. It includes, without limitation: (i) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being involved in providing any products or services relating to transaction or payment processing, including those for the benefit of fleets; travel; healthcare; education; payroll; or, benefits through charge cards, credit cards, procurement cards or any other form of payment services or electronic commerce; (ii) the sale, distribution or publication of petroleum product pricing or management information or other products or services currently sold or to the best of the Grantee’s knowledge contemplated to be sold by the Company or any of its owned or controlled subsidiaries, and (iii) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being involved in providing commercial travel, entertainment and purchasing credit cards. The restrictions in this Section 6 shall be effective and binding only to the extent permissible under Rule 5.6 of the Maine Rules of Professional Conduct or any similar rule governing the practice of law that is applicable to the Grantee. The restrictions in this Section shall not be construed to prevent the Grantee from, following the termination of the Grantee’s Service,


 
working for a business entity that does not compete with the Company or its subsidiaries simply because the entity is affiliated with a Competing Enterprise, so long as the entity is operationally separate and distinct from the Competing Enterprise and the Grantee’s job responsibilities at that entity are unrelated to the Competing Enterprise. The restrictions in this Section will not apply to employment by or the rendering of services to businesses that sell fuel or convenience items if those businesses are not directly competing with the Company or its subsidiaries, owned or controlled. The restrictions in this Section shall also not be deemed to prohibit the Grantee from owning not more than one percent (1%) of the total shares of all classes of stock of any publicly held company. The Grantee acknowledges that the Company Group’s businesses are conducted internationally and agrees that the provisions in this Section shall operate in any country in which the Company conducts business while the Grantee is/was employed by the Company. The Grantee acknowledges that the Company’s grant and provision of the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units, to which the Grantee would not be entitled absent execution of this Agreement, constitute fair, reasonable, and mutually agreed upon consideration to support this Sub-Section 6(e). This Sub-Section 6(e), only, shall not apply if the Grantee is terminated without Cause or laid off. For purposes of this Sub-Section 6(e), only, the term “Cause” shall mean willful misconduct by the Grantee or willful failure by the Grantee to perform his or her responsibilities to the Company (including, without limitation, breach by the Grantee of any provision of any employment, consulting, advisory, nondisclosure, non-competition or other similar agreement between the Grantee and the Company), as determined by the Company, which determination shall be conclusive. The Grantee’s employment shall be considered to have been terminated for Cause if the Company determines, within thirty (30) days after the Grantee’s termination, that termination for Cause was warranted; and/or (f) Subject to Sub-Section 5(b), and except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise explicitly directed in writing by an officer of the Company, directly or through others: (a) provide any confidential information, including any information derived from the Grantee’s experience with the Company, to (i) any competitor of the Company, (ii) any person the Grantee knows or has reason to believe may be an investor or prospective investor in the Company, (iii) a member of the media, (iv) any prospective acquirer of the Company, (v) any litigant or potential litigant against the Company, (vi) any other person seeking information regarding the Company (including, without limitation, information with respect to its business, executives, directors, balance sheet, history, prospects or opportunities) or seeking to change or influence the control of the Company, or (vii) any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing (any such person described in clauses (i) to (vii), a “Potential Adverse Party”); (b) make, publicly or privately, any statements that disparage, or could otherwise cause harm to, the business or reputation of the Company and/or any current or former officer, director or employee of the Company; (c) join a “group” or become a “participant” in a solicitation with respect to the Company (other than a solicitation by the Board of Directors), as those terms are defined in applicable securities laws; and (d) aid, encourage, advise or otherwise provide


 
assistance to any Potential Adverse Party in (i) asserting, prosecuting or defending any claim, action or proceeding against the Company, (ii) undertaking a proxy contest, withhold campaign or other shareholder activism campaign or proxy solicitation against the Company, (iii) proposing to acquire the Company or any of its assets or subsidiaries or (iv) making any other demands of the Company. If the Grantee is contacted by any Potential Adverse Party, the Grantee shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Company’s Chief Legal Officer (the “CLO”), and shall not discuss the Company with any such Potential Adverse Party without prior written approval from the CLO. The Company has previously entered into agreements with certain executives and employees that contain restrictive covenants (“Restrictions”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee is party to an employment or other agreement containing Restrictions on (a) confidentiality, (b) solicitation of customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company, (c) solicitation or hire of Company employees, and/or (d) competition (collectively, “Existing Restrictions”), any such Existing Restrictions will remain in effect and the Grantee shall remain bound by such Existing Restrictions. To the extent the restrictions contained in Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement conflict in any way with any Existing Restriction(s), such conflict shall be resolved by giving effect to the provision that provides the greatest protection to the Company that is enforceable under applicable law. The Grantee agrees and acknowledges that the period of time, geographical scope, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this Agreement are fair, and reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company. The Grantee also acknowledges that in the event the Grantee breaches any part of Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement, the damages to the Company would be irreparable. Therefore, in addition to monetary damages and/or reasonable attorney fees, the Company shall have the right to seek injunctive and/or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement. Further, the Grantee consents to the issuance of a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of any proceeding. The Grantee further understands and agrees that if the Grantee breaches any covenant set forth in Section 6, the duration of any covenant so breached shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, automatically be tolled from the date of the first breach until the date judicial relief providing effective remedy for such breach or breaches is obtained by the Company, or until the Company states in writing that it will seek no judicial relief for such breach; except that the duration of the covenants contained in Sub-Section 6(e), only, shall extend to twenty-four (24) months if the Grantee breached his or her fiduciary duty to the Company and/or if the Grantee has unlawfully taken, physically or electronically, property belonging to the Company. If any one or more provisions of Sections 5 or 6 shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to time, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed, by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the greatest


 
extent compatible with applicable law as it shall then appear, and the parties expressly agree that any of the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 may be reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled to make such provision enforceable, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the parties consent to the enforcement of such provision as so reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled. The Grantee agrees, during (i) the twelve (12) month period following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, the twelve (12) month period following the Vesting Date, to disclose to the Company, in writing, any person or entity with whom the Grantee becomes employed, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated, the Grantee’s date of hire or engagement, the Grantee’s job title, and a complete description of the Grantee’s duties. The Grantee agrees to make such disclosure to the Company no later than the date on which the Grantee accepts or otherwise agrees to become employed by, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated with such person or entity. While the Grantee is employed with the Company and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the Vesting Date, the Grantee will provide any person or entity that the Grantee seeks an offer of employment or other engagement or retention from notice of the existence of this Agreement and the terms of Sections 5 and 6 before requesting or accepting such an offer. If the Grantee fails to provide such notice, the Grantee understands that the Grantee may be held liable for any consequential damages resulting from such failure. The Grantee agrees that the Company may send a copy of this Agreement to, or otherwise make the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement known to, any of the Grantee’s potential and future employers or other entity considering engaging the Grantee or which has engaged or employed the Grantee. The Grantee agrees not to assert any claim that such conduct by the Company is legally actionable interference or otherwise impermissible regardless of whether or not the provisions of Sections 5 or 6are later found to be enforceable in whole or in part. Mindful of the obligations set forth in Sections 5 and 6, upon termination of the Grantee’s employment, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company. The Grantee is hereby informed that the Grantee has the right to consult with counsel prior to signing this Agreement. Governing Law: The following provision replaces Section 10 of the Agreement in its entirety: 10) Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action or other matters that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflict or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation thereof to the substantive laws of another jurisdiction; except that Sub-Section 6(e) only shall be governed by the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts if the Grantee was a resident of Massachusetts for thirty (30) days immediately preceding Grantee’s cessation of Service.

Rev. Code 49.62.020 as adjusted by 49.62.040 (for 2024, $120,559.99), then Grantee shall not become employed by, render services to or directly or indirectly (whether for compensation or otherwise, and whether as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, lender, investor, corporate officer, board member, director, or in any other individual or representative capacity), own or hold a proprietary interest in, manage, operate, or control, or join or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or furnish any capital to or be connected in any manner with, any Competing Enterprise. For purposes of this Sub-Section 6(d), a “Competing Enterprise” means any entity, organization or person engaged, or planning to become engaged, in substantially the same or similar business to that being conducted or actively and specifically planned to be conducted during the Grantee’s Service or within six (6) months after the Grantee’s termination of Service or its subsidiaries, owned or controlled.

The restrictions in this Section will not apply to employment by or the rendering of services to businesses that sell fuel or convenience items if those businesses are not directly competing with the Company or its subsidiaries, owned or controlled.

interference or otherwise impermissible regardless of whether or not the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 are later found to be enforceable in whole or in part. Mindful of the obligations set forth in Sections 5 and 6, upon termination of the Grantee’s employment, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company. Governing Law: The following provision replaces Section 10 of the Agreement in its entirety: 10) Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action or other matters that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflict or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation thereof to the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. If the laws of the State of Washington apply to the Grantee, then nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to deprive the Grantee of the protections or benefits of the Washington Noncompete Act (RCW §§49.62.005 – 900). Consent to Jurisdiction: The following is added to the end of Section 11: If the laws of the State of Washington apply to the Grantee, then nothing in this Agreement shall require the Grantee to adjudicate a noncompetition covenant outside of the State of Washington. Grantee understands that nothing in this Agreement or in any Company policy prevents Grantee from discussing or disclosing conduct, or the existence of a settlement involving conduct, that Grantee reasonably believed to be illegal discrimination, illegal harassment, illegal retaliation, a wage and hour violation, or sexual assault, or that is recognized as illegal under state, federal, or common law, or that is recognized as against a clear mandate of public policy, where the conduct occurred at the workplace, at work-related events coordinated by or through the employer, between employees, or between an employer and an employee, whether on or off the employment premises; provided, however, that Grantee remains subject to any obligation to keep confidential the amount paid in settlement of any claim.

Subject to Section 3(a) and Section 3(c), on each of the first three anniversaries of the Date of Grant (each, a “Vesting Date”), the number of MSUs that shall vest, if any, shall equal the product of (i) one-third of the MSUs and (ii) the Common Stock Price (as defined below) on the Vesting Date divided by the Common Stock Price on the Date of Grant (clause (ii), the “Payout Factor”); provided, that (a) if the Payout Factor is less than 0.6, no MSUs shall vest on the applicable Vesting Date and (b) the maximum Payout Factor shall be 2.0; provided, further, that vesting on each Vesting Date shall be subject to (I) the Grantee’s continued Service (as defined below) on the applicable Vesting Date or (II) the Grantee’s Retirement prior to such Vesting Date in accordance with and subject to Section 3(b). Any MSUs eligible to vest on a Vesting Date that do not vest under this Section 2 shall be forfeited immediately, automatically and without consideration. 3) Termination; Change in Control.


 
a) Death. Upon the Grantee’s death, to the extent not previously forfeited, the Target number of MSUs set forth in the Memorandum (less one-third of the Target for each Vesting Date that has occurred prior to the Grantee’s death) shall immediately vest. b) Retirement. i) If the Grantee’s Service is terminated due to the Grantee’s Retirement (as defined below), continued vesting under Section 2, Section 3(a) and Section 3(c) shall be subject to the Grantee’s (x) continued compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 5 and Section 6, (y) execution and non-revocation of a separation agreement, including a release of claims, in a form provided by the Company (and executed by deed where appropriate), within the timeframe set forth therein, but no later than thirty (30) days following the Grantee’s Retirement (the “Release Requirement”) and (z) successful completion of the Grantee’s transitional duties prior to Retirement. If the Grantee fails to satisfy the Release Requirement, outstanding MSUs shall be forfeited immediately, automatically and without consideration and the Board may require the Grantee to immediately remit to the Company any shares of Common Stock (or the fair market value thereof (as determined by the Board in its sole discretion) to the extent the Grantee no longer holds the shares of Common Stock) issued in respect of the MSUs following and as a result of the Grantee’s Retirement, and the Company shall be entitled to an award of its reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in enforcing its rights pursuant to this Section 3(b)(i). ii) Notwithstanding Section 3(b)(i), if (x) the Company receives a legal opinion stating that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in the Grantee’s jurisdiction that likely would result in Section 3(b)(i) or vesting following Retirement being deemed unlawful or in violation of Section 409A, or (y) any of the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 5 and Section 6 are held by any court or governmental authority (or otherwise deemed) to be void, unlawful or unenforceable with respect to the Grantee, then the provisions herein relating to the Grantee’s Retirement shall be null and void ab initio and the MSUs shall be subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement. If the Grantee has already received shares of Common Stock following and as a result of the Grantee’s Retirement, the Board may require the Grantee to immediately remit to the Company any such shares of Common Stock (or the fair market value thereof (as determined by the Board in its sole discretion) to the extent the Grantee no longer holds the shares of Common Stock), and the Company shall be entitled to an award of its reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in enforcing its rights pursuant to this Section 3(b)(ii). iii) For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” means a termination of the Grantee’s Service following Notice (as defined below) other than a termination of the Grantee’s Service for Cause or where grounds for a termination of the Grantee’s Service for Cause exist; provided that at the time of such Notice the Grantee has satisfied one (or more) of the following: (x) attainment of at least fifty-five (55) years of age and ten (10) full years of continuous Service, (y) attainment of at least sixty (60) years of age and five (5) full years of continuous Service or (z) attainment of at least sixty-five (65) years of age and two (2) full years of continuous Service, in each case, as determined by the Company’s HRIS. To invoke a termination due to Retirement, the Grantee must provide at least six (6) months prior written notice to the Grantee’s direct manager at the applicable member of the Company Group (the “Notice”) and the termination date must be at least six (6) months following the Date of Grant.


 
c) Change in Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, to the extent not previously forfeited, a number of MSUs, if any, shall vest equal to the product of (x) the Target number of MSUs set forth in the Memorandum (less one-third of the Target for each Vesting Date that has occurred prior to such Change in Control) and (y) the Common Stock Price on the Change in Control divided by the Common Stock Price on the Date of Grant (clause (y), the “CIC Payout Factor”); provided, that (I) if the CIC Payout Factor is less than 0.6, no MSUs shall vest on the Change in Control, (II) the maximum CIC Payout Factor shall be 2.0 and (III) the MSUs that vest pursuant to this Section 3(c) shall be deemed allocable to the remaining Vesting Dates in substantially equal installments; provided, further, that vesting upon a Change in Control shall be subject to (A) the Grantee’s continued Service on the Change in Control or (B) the Grantee’s Retirement prior to such Change in Control in accordance with and subject to Section 3(b). Any unvested MSUs that do not vest under this Section 3(c) upon a Change in Control shall be forfeited immediately, automatically and without consideration. d) Other Terminations. Except as otherwise provided under Section 2 or Section 3 of this Agreement, upon the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason, any MSUs that have not vested as of such termination shall be forfeited immediately, automatically and without consideration (unless the Board, in its sole discretion, determines otherwise). A termination of Service shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the Grantee ceases to perform active employment duties for the Company Group, regardless of any notice period, salary continuation period or other severance period. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, this Agreement or any other agreement between any member of the Company Group and the Grantee to the contrary, the Grantee shall not be entitled to any compensation for the loss of any rights under the Plan or this Agreement as a result of the termination of the Grantee’s Service. e) Definitions. For purposes of the Agreement, i) “Common Stock Price” shall mean the volume weighted average price per share of Common Stock over the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date of determination; provided that on or following a Change in Control, the Common Stock Price shall mean the price per share of Common Stock implied by such Change in Control. ii) “Service” means providing services as an active employee, to, or for the benefit of, any member of the Company Group. 4) Settlement. Vested MSUs shall be settled on or within thirty (30) days following the earliest of (i) the Vesting Date applicable to such vested MSUs, (ii) the Grantee's death and (iii) a termination of the Grantee’s Service by a member of the Company Group (including any acquirer or successor) without Cause or by the Grantee for Good Reason, in each case, during the one-year period following a Change in Control that would constitute a “change in control event” within the meaning of Section 409A. Upon settlement, the Company shall deliver to the Grantee, for each vested MSU, one (1) share of Common Stock, subject to any terms and conditions set forth in the Plan or imposed by the Board. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be delivered and any fractions shall be rounded down.


 
5) Confidential and Proprietary Information. a) The Grantee acknowledges that in connection with the Grantee’s Service, the Grantee is placed in a position of confidence and trust with the Company Group and in line with that position has and will continue to have access to information of a nature not generally disclosed to the public. The Grantee agrees to keep confidential and not: (i) use or (ii) disclose to anyone any Confidential and Proprietary Information, except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company Group, as required by law or as authorized by the Board of Directors. “Confidential and Proprietary Information” includes but is not limited to all the Company Group’s trade secrets, business and strategic plans, financial details, computer programs, manuals, contracts, current and prospective client and supplier lists, and all other documentation, business knowledge, data, material, property and supplier lists, and developments owned, possessed or controlled by the Company Group, regardless of whether possessed or developed by the Grantee in the course of the Grantee’s Service. Such Confidential and Proprietary Information may or may not be designated as confidential or proprietary and may be oral, written or electronic media. The Grantee understands that such information is owned and shall continue to be owned solely by the Company Group, and hereby represents that the Grantee has not and will not disclose, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any Confidential and Proprietary Information. The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee has complied and will continue to comply with this commitment, both as an employee and after the termination of the Grantee’s Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential and Proprietary Information does not include any information that: (1) is already in the public domain or becomes available to the public through no breach by the Grantee of this Agreement; (2) was lawfully in the Grantee’s possession prior to disclosure to the Grantee by the Company Group; (3) is lawfully disclosed to the Grantee by a third party (other than any member of the Company Group, or any of its representatives, agents or employees) without any obligations of confidentiality attaching to such disclosure; (4) is developed by the Grantee entirely on the Grantee’s own time without the Company Group’s equipment, supplies or facilities and does not relate at the time of conception to the Company Group’s business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development; or (5) is lawfully acquired by a non- supervisory employee about wages, hours or other terms and conditions of employment when used for purposes protected by §7 of the National Labor Relations Act such as discussing wages, benefits or terms and conditions of employment, or other legally protected concerted activity for mutual aid or protection of laborers. Information shall not be deemed to be in the public domain merely because any part of said information is embodied in general disclosures or because individual features, components, or combinations thereof are now or become known to the public or are in the public domain. b) The provisions in this Agreement do not prohibit the Grantee from communicating with any governmental authority or making a report in good faith and with a reasonable belief of any violations of law or regulation to a governmental authority, or from testifying or participating in a legal proceeding relating to such violations, including providing documents or information or making other disclosures protected or required by any whistleblower law or regulation to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Department of Labor, or any other appropriate government authority. This may include disclosure of trade secret or confidential information within


 
the limitations permitted by the 2016 Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA). The Grantee understands, agrees and acknowledges that under the DTSA, (1) no individual will be held criminally or civilly liable under Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret (as defined in the Economic Espionage Act) that: (A) is made in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and made solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal so that it is not made public; and (2) an individual who pursues a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of the law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and does not disclose the trade secret, except as permitted by court order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee expressly agrees to honor the confidentiality obligations in this Agreement and will only share Confidential and Proprietary Information with the Grantee’s attorney or with the government agency or entity in accordance with this Section 5. Further, nothing in this Agreement limits or affects Grantee’s right to disclose or discuss sexual harassment or sexual assault disputes. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to permit or condone unlawful conduct, including but not limited to the theft or misappropriation of Company Group’s property, trade secrets or information. 6) Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. In consideration of the promises contained herein and the Grantee’s access and exposure to Confidential and Proprietary Information provided to the Grantee, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Grantee agrees that during the Grantee’s Service and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of Service due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the Vesting Date (in each case, except with respect to Section 5(f), which restrictions apply in perpetuity), the Grantee shall not, on behalf of the Grantee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, entity or organization other than the Company Group, whether as an agent or otherwise: a) Contact, call on, provide advice to, solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group with whom the Grantee directly performed any services or had any direct business contact; b) Contact, call on, provide advice to, solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group whose entity- or other customer-specific information the Grantee discovered or gained access to as a result of the Grantee’s access to Company Group’s Confidential and Proprietary Information; c) Utilize the Company Group’s Confidential and Proprietary Information to solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group;


 
d) Solicit or induce, either directly or indirectly, any employee of the Company Group to leave the employ of any member of the Company Group or become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than the Company Group; or take any action to assist any subsequent employer or any other person, entity or organization, either directly or indirectly, in soliciting or inducing any employee of a member of the Company Group to leave the employ of such member of the Company Group or become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than a member of the Company Group; or hire or employ, or assist in the hiring or employment of, either directly or indirectly, any individual employed by a member of the Company Group within sixty (60) days preceding that individual’s hire by the Grantee or the Grantee’s subsequent employer; e) Become employed by, render services to or directly or indirectly (whether for compensation or otherwise, and whether as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, lender, investor, corporate officer, board member, director, or in any other individual or representative capacity), own or hold a proprietary interest in, manage, operate, or control, or join or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or furnish any capital to or be connected in any manner with, any Competing Enterprise. For purposes of this Section 6(e), a “Competing Enterprise” means any entity, organization or person engaged, or planning to become engaged, in substantially the same or similar business to that being conducted or actively and specifically planned to be conducted during the Grantee’s Service or within six (6) months after the Grantee’s termination of Service, owned or controlled. It includes, without limitation: (i) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being involved in providing any products or services relating to transaction or payment processing, including those for the benefit of fleets; travel; healthcare; education; payroll; or, benefits through charge cards, credit cards, procurement cards or any other form of payment services or electronic commerce; (ii) the sale, distribution or publication of petroleum product pricing or management information or other products or services currently sold or to the best of the Grantee’s knowledge contemplated to be sold by the Company or any of its owned or controlled subsidiaries, and (iii) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being involved in providing commercial travel, entertainment and purchasing credit cards. The restrictions in this Section 6 shall be effective and binding only to the extent permissible under Rule 5.6 of the Maine Rules of Professional Conduct or any similar rule governing the practice of law that is applicable to the Grantee. The restrictions in this Section 6 shall not be construed to prevent the Grantee from, following the termination of the Grantee’s Service, working for a business entity that does not compete with the Company Group simply because the entity is affiliated with a Competing Enterprise, so long as the entity is operationally separate and distinct from the Competing Enterprise and the Grantee’s job responsibilities at that entity are unrelated to the Competing Enterprise. The restrictions in this Section 6 will not apply to employment by or the rendering of services to businesses that sell fuel or convenience items if those businesses are not directly competing with the Company Group, owned or controlled. The restrictions in this Section 6 shall also not be deemed to prohibit the Grantee from owning not more than one percent (1%) of the total shares of all classes of stock of any publicly held company. The Grantee acknowledges that the Company Group’s businesses are conducted internationally and agrees that the provisions in this Section 6 shall operate in any country in which the Company Group conducts business while the Grantee is/was employed by a member of the Company Group; and/or


 
f) Subject to Section 5(b), and except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company Group in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise explicitly directed in writing by an officer of the Company, directly or through others: (a) provide any confidential information, including any information derived from the Grantee’s experience with the Company Group, to (i) any competitor of the Company Group, (ii) any person the Grantee knows or has reason to believe may be an investor or prospective investor in the Company Group, (iii) a member of the media, (iv) any prospective acquirer of any member of the Company Group, (v) any litigant or potential litigant against any member of the Company Group, (vi) any other person seeking information regarding the Company Group (including, without limitation, information with respect to its business, executives, directors, balance sheet, history, prospects or opportunities) or seeking to change or influence the control of the Company Group, or (vii) any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing (any such person described in clauses (i) to (vii), a “Potential Adverse Party”); (b) make, publicly or privately, any statements that disparage, or could otherwise cause harm to, the business or reputation of any member of the Company Group and/or any current or former officer, director or employee of any member of the Company Group; (c) join a “group” or become a “participant” in a solicitation with respect to the Company Group (other than a solicitation by the Board of Directors), as those terms are defined in applicable securities laws; and (d) aid, encourage, advise or otherwise provide assistance to any Potential Adverse Party in (i) asserting, prosecuting or defending any claim, action or proceeding against any member of the Company Group, (ii) undertaking a proxy contest, withhold campaign or other shareholder activism campaign or proxy solicitation against any member of the Company Group, (iii) proposing to acquire any member of the Company Group or any of its assets or (iv) making any other demands of any member of the Company Group. If the Grantee is contacted by any Potential Adverse Party, the Grantee shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Company’s Chief Legal Officer (the “CLO”), and shall not discuss the Company Group with any such Potential Adverse Party without prior written approval from the CLO. The Company Group has previously entered into agreements with certain executives and employees that contain restrictive covenants (“Restrictions”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee is party to an employment or other agreement containing Restrictions on (a) confidentiality, (b) solicitation of customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company Group, (c) solicitation or hire of the employees of any member of the Company Group, and/or (d) competition (collectively, “Existing Restrictions”), any such Existing Restrictions will remain in effect and the Grantee shall remain bound by such Existing Restrictions. To the extent the restrictions contained in Section 5 and Section 6 of this Agreement conflict in any way with any Existing Restriction(s), such conflict shall be resolved by giving effect to the provision that provides the greatest protection to the Company Group that is enforceable under applicable law. The Grantee agrees and acknowledges that the period of time, geographical scope, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this Agreement are fair, and reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company Group. The Grantee also acknowledges that in the event the Grantee breaches any part of Section 5 and Section 6 of this Agreement, the damages to the Company Group would be irreparable. Therefore, in addition to monetary damages and/or reasonable attorney fees, the Company Group shall have the right to seek injunctive and/or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement. Further, the Grantee consents to the issuance of a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction to


 
maintain the status quo pending the outcome of any proceeding. The Grantee further understands and agrees that if the Grantee breaches any covenant set forth in Section 6, the duration of any covenant so breached shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, automatically be tolled from the date of the first breach until the date judicial relief providing effective remedy for such breach or breaches is obtained by the Company Group, or until the Company Group states in writing that it will seek no judicial relief for such breach. If any one or more provisions of Section 5 and Section 6 shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to time, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed, by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the greatest extent compatible with applicable law as it shall then appear, and the parties expressly agree that any of the provisions of Section 5 and Section 6 may be reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled to make such provision enforceable, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the parties consent to the enforcement of such provision as so reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled. The Grantee agrees, during (i) the twelve (12) month period following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of Service due to Retirement, the twelve (12) month period following the Vesting Date, to disclose to the Company Group, in writing, any person or entity with whom the Grantee becomes employed, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated, the Grantee’s date of hire or engagement, the Grantee’s job title, and a complete description of the Grantee’s duties. The Grantee agrees to make such disclosure to the Company Group no later than the date on which the Grantee accepts or otherwise agrees to become employed by, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated with such person or entity. During the Grantee’s Service and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of Service due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the Vesting Date, the Grantee will provide any person or entity that the Grantee seeks an offer of employment or other engagement or retention from notice of the existence of this Agreement and the terms of Section 5 and Section 6 before requesting or accepting such an offer. If the Grantee fails to provide such notice, the Grantee understands that the Grantee may be held liable for any consequential damages resulting from such failure. The Grantee agrees that the Company Group may send a copy of this Agreement to, or otherwise make the provisions of Section 5 and Section 6 of this Agreement known to, any of the Grantee’s potential and future employers or other entity considering engaging the Grantee or which has engaged or employed the Grantee. The Grantee agrees not to assert any claim that such conduct by the Company Group is legally actionable interference or otherwise impermissible regardless of whether or not the provisions of Section 5 and Section 6 are later found to be enforceable in whole or in part. Mindful of the obligations set forth in Section 5 and Section 6, upon termination of the Grantee’s Service, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company Group. 7) Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Beneficiaries. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Grantee shall not be permitted to transfer or assign this Agreement or the MSUs, except as expressly permitted under the Plan. The Company may assign this Agreement to an entity controlled by or under common control with the Company or to an entity that acquires all


 
or substantially all of the business, equity or assets of the Company. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company Group and its successors and assigns and upon the Grantee and the Grantee’s heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer on any person other than the Company Group and the Grantee, and their respective heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement. 8) Withholding. As a condition to the granting of the MSUs, the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee is responsible for the payment of income and employment taxes (and any other taxes) payable in connection with the vesting and/or settlement of the MSUs. The Company Group shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold automatically from any payment or shares of Common Stock deliverable under this Agreement, or require the Grantee to remit to the Company Group, the minimum statutory amount to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Agreement (the “Minimum Withholding”) in a form that is reasonably acceptable to the Company (as determined by the Company in its sole discretion); provided that, except as otherwise provided by the Board, with respect to the withholding of shares of Common Stock, if the Company Group is able to withhold from the shares of Common Stock deliverable under this Agreement such number of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value (as determined by the Board in its sole discretion) that is greater than the Minimum Withholding without financial accounting implications for the Company or the withholding is in a jurisdiction that does not have a Minimum Withholding, the Company Group shall have the power and the right, including at the Grantee's request, to deduct or withhold automatically from any shares of Common Stock deliverable under this Agreement up to the maximum individual statutory rate of tax (determined by, or in a manner approved by, the Company) to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any taxes that the Company Group is required to withhold in connection with the vesting of the MSUs, the Company Group shall deduct or withhold automatically from any shares of Common Stock deliverable under this Agreement the number of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal to the Minimum Withholding with respect to such taxable event, which retained shares of Common Stock shall fund the payment of such taxes by the Company on the Grantee’s behalf. 9) No Rights to Continued Service. The granting of the MSUs shall impose no obligation on any member of the Company Group to continue the Service of the Grantee and shall not interfere in any way with the right of any member of the Company Group to terminate such Service. 10) Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action or other matters that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflict or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation thereof to the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. 11) Consent to Jurisdiction. The Company and the Grantee, by the Grantee’s execution


 
hereof, (a) hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Delaware for the purposes of any claim or action arising out of or based upon this Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof, (b) hereby waive, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, and agree not to assert by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such claim or action, any claim that the Grantee is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above- named courts, that the Grantee’s property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that any such proceeding brought in the above-named court is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court and (c) hereby agree not to commence any claim or action arising out of or based upon this Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof other than before the above-named courts nor to make any motion or take any other action seeking or intending to cause the transfer or removal of any such claim or action to any court other than the above-named courts whether on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise; provided, however, that the Company and the Grantee may seek to enforce a judgment issued by the above- named courts in any proper jurisdiction. The Company and the Grantee hereby consent to service of process in any such proceeding, and agree that service of process by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at the Grantee’s address specified pursuant to Section 15 is reasonably calculated to give actual notice. 12) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES AND COVENANTS THAT THE GRANTEE SHALL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE OR ACTION, CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION OR SUIT (IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE), INQUIRY, PROCEEDING OR INVESTIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INFORMED BY THE OTHER PARTY HERETO THAT THIS SECTION 12 CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT UPON WHICH THEY ARE RELYING AND SHALL RELY IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT. ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 12 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. 13) Compliance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary: a) The Company intends that the MSUs satisfy the requirements of Section 409A. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with that intent, such that there are no adverse tax consequences, interest or penalties under Section 409A as a result of the MSUs. In no event whatsoever will any member of the Company Group or any of their respective directors, officers, agents, attorneys, employees, shareholders, investors, managers, fiduciaries, successors or assigns be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on the Grantee under Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A.


 
b) A termination of Service shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A upon or following a termination of Service 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,” “terminate,” “termination of Service” or like terms shall mean “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. If any payment, compensation or other benefit provided to the Grantee, due to the termination of the Grantee’s employment, is determined, in whole or in part, to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and the Grantee is a specified employee as defined in Section 409A(2)(B)(i) of the Code, no part of such payments shall be paid before the day that is six (6) months plus one (1) day after the date of termination or, if earlier, ten (10) business days following the Grantee’s death (the “New Payment Date”). The aggregate of any payments that otherwise would have been paid to the Grantee during the period between the date of termination and the New Payment Date shall be paid to the Grantee in a lump sum on such New Payment Date. Thereafter, any payments that remain outstanding as of the day immediately following the New Payment Date shall be paid without delay over the time period originally scheduled, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. c) If under this Agreement, an amount is paid in two or more installments, for purposes of Section 409A, each installment shall be treated as a separate payment. Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days (e.g., “as soon as practicable following the applicable Vesting Date, but no later than thirty (30) days following such Vesting Date”), the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company. 14) No Guarantees Regarding Tax Treatment. Grantee (or Grantee’s beneficiaries) shall be responsible for all taxes with respect to the MSUs. The Board and the Company make no guarantees regarding the tax treatment of the MSUs.

EXHIBIT A State Specific Provisions This Exhibit A includes special terms and conditions applicable to Awards granted to such Grantee under the Plan if the Grantee resides and/or works in one of the jurisdictions listed below. These terms and conditions are in addition to or, if so indicated, in replacement of the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement. This Exhibit A also includes information regarding Confidential and Proprietary Information, Non- Competition, Non-Solicitation and certain other issues of which the Grantee should be aware with respect to the Grantee’s receipt of the Market Share Units (the “MSUs”) and participation in the Plan. The information is based on the exchange control, securities and other laws in effect in the respective jurisdictions as of March 2024. However, such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Grantee not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the Grantee vests in the MSUs, acquires shares (or the cash equivalent) or sells the Common Stock acquired under the MSUs. In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Grantee’s particular situation and the Company is not in a position to assure the Grantee of any particular result. Accordingly, the Grantee is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Grantee’s jurisdiction may apply to the Grantee’s situation. Finally, if the Grantee is a resident of a jurisdiction other than the one in which the Grantee is currently residing and/or working, transfers employment and/or residency to another jurisdiction after the Award is granted or is considered a resident of another jurisdiction for local law purposes, the terms and conditions and notifications contained herein may not be applicable to the Grantee. The Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions included herein will apply under these circumstances. United States – North Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oregon Non-Solicitation: The following provisions replace Section 6 of the Agreement in its entirety: 6) Non-Solicitation. In consideration of the promises contained herein and the Grantee’s access and exposure to Confidential and Proprietary Information provided to the Grantee, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Grantee agrees that: (a) During Grantee’s Service and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the final Vesting Date, the Grantee shall not, on behalf of the Grantee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, entity or organization other than the Company, whether as an agent or otherwise, contact, call on, provide advice to, solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to


 
influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company whose entity- or other customer-specific information the Grantee discovered or gained access to as a result of the Grantee’s access to Company Confidential and Proprietary Information; (b) During the Grantee’s Service and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the final Vesting Date, the Grantee shall not, on behalf of the Grantee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, entity or organization other than the Company, whether as an agent or otherwise, utilize the Company Group’s Confidential and Proprietary Information to solicit, take away business, divert business, and/or influence or attempt to influence, either directly or indirectly, any customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company; (c) During the Grantee’s Service and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the final Vesting Date, the Grantee shall not, on behalf of the Grantee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, entity or organization other than the Company, whether as an agent or otherwise, solicit or induce, either directly or indirectly, any employee of the Company to leave the employ of the Company or become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than the Company; or take any action to assist any subsequent employer or any other person, entity or organization, either directly or indirectly, in soliciting or inducing any Company employee to leave the employ of the Company or become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than the Company; or hire or employ, or assist in the hiring or employment of, either directly or indirectly, any individual employed by the Company within sixty (60) days preceding that individual’s hire by the Grantee or the Grantee’s subsequent employer; (d) During the term of the Grantee’s Service, the Grantee promises and agrees that the Grantee will not, in any way, directly or indirectly, either as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, lender, investor, corporate officer, board member, director, or in any other individual or representative capacity, engage or attempt to engage in any competitive activity relating to the subject matter of the Grantee’s Service or relating to the Company Group’s business; and/or (e) Subject to Sub-Section 5(b), and except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise explicitly directed in writing by an officer of the Company, directly or through others: (a) provide any confidential information, including any information derived from the Grantee’s experience with the Company, to (i) any competitor of the Company, (ii) any person the Grantee knows or has reason to believe may be an investor or prospective investor in the Company, (iii) a member of the media, (iv) any prospective acquirer of the Company, (v) any litigant or potential litigant against the Company, (vi) any other person seeking information regarding the Company (including, without limitation,


 
information with respect to its business, executives, directors, balance sheet, history, prospects or opportunities) or seeking to change or influence the control of the Company, or (vii) any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing (any such person described in clauses (i) to (vii), a “Potential Adverse Party”); (b) make, publicly or privately, any statements that disparage, or could otherwise cause harm to, the business or reputation of the Company and/or any current or former officer, director or employee of the Company; (c) join a “group” or become a “participant” in a solicitation with respect to the Company (other than a solicitation by the Board of Directors), as those terms are defined in applicable securities laws; and (d) aid, encourage, advise or otherwise provide assistance to any Potential Adverse Party in (i) asserting, prosecuting or defending any claim, action or proceeding against the Company, (ii) undertaking a proxy contest, withhold campaign or other shareholder activism campaign or proxy solicitation against the Company, (iii) proposing to acquire the Company or any of its assets or subsidiaries or (iv) making any other demands of the Company. If the Grantee is contacted by any Potential Adverse Party, the Grantee shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Company’s Chief Legal Officer (the “CLO”), and shall not discuss the Company with any such Potential Adverse Party without prior written approval from the CLO. The restrictions in this Section shall not be deemed to prohibit the Grantee from owning not more than one percent (1%) of the total shares of all classes of stock of any publicly held company. The Grantee acknowledges that the Company Group’s businesses are conducted internationally and agrees that the provisions in this Section shall operate in any country in which the Company conducts business while the Grantee is/was employed by the Company. The Company has previously entered into agreements with certain executives and employees that contain restrictive covenants (“Restrictions”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee is party to an employment or other agreement containing Restrictions on (a) confidentiality, (b) solicitation of customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company, (c) solicitation or hire of Company employees, and/or (d) competition (collectively, “Existing Restrictions”), any such Existing Restrictions will remain in effect and the Grantee shall remain bound by such Existing Restrictions. To the extent the restrictions contained in Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement conflict in any way with any Existing Restriction(s), such conflict shall be resolved by giving effect to the provision that provides the greatest protection to the Company that is enforceable under applicable law. The Grantee agrees and acknowledges that the period of time, geographical scope, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this Agreement are fair, and reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company. The Grantee also acknowledges that in the event the Grantee breaches any part of Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement, the damages to the Company would be irreparable. Therefore, in addition to monetary damages and/or reasonable attorney fees, the Company shall have the right to seek injunctive and/or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement. Further, the Grantee consents to the issuance of a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of any proceeding. The Grantee further understands and agrees that if the Grantee breaches any covenant set forth in Section 6, the duration of any covenant so breached shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, automatically be tolled from the date of the first breach until the date judicial relief


 
providing effective remedy for such breach or breaches is obtained by the Company, or until the Company states in writing that it will seek no judicial relief for such breach. If any one or more provisions of Sections 5 or 6 shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to time, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed, by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the greatest extent compatible with applicable law as it shall then appear, and the parties expressly agree that any of the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 may be reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled to make such provision enforceable, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the parties consent to the enforcement of such provision as so reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled. The Grantee agrees, during (i) the twelve (12) month period following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, the twelve (12) month period following the final Vesting Date, to disclose to the Company, in writing, any person or entity with whom the Grantee becomes employed, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated, the Grantee’s date of hire or engagement, the Grantee’s job title, and a complete description of the Grantee’s duties. The Grantee agrees to make such disclosure to the Company no later than the date on which the Grantee accepts or otherwise agrees to become employed by, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated with such person or entity. While the Grantee is employed with the Company and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the final Vesting Date, the Grantee will provide any person or entity that the Grantee seeks an offer of employment or other engagement or retention from notice of the existence of this Agreement and the terms of Sections 5 and 6 before requesting or accepting such an offer. If the Grantee fails to provide such notice, the Grantee understands that the Grantee may be held liable for any consequential damages resulting from such failure. The Grantee agrees that the Company may send a copy of this Agreement to, or otherwise make the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement known to, any of the Grantee’s potential and future employers or other entity considering engaging the Grantee or which has engaged or employed the Grantee. The Grantee agrees not to assert any claim that such conduct by the Company is legally actionable interference or otherwise impermissible regardless of whether or not the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 are later found to be enforceable in whole or in part. Mindful of the obligations set forth in Sections 5 and 6, upon termination of the Grantee’s employment, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company. United States – Colorado Only Non-Solicitation: The following provisions replace Section 6 of the Agreement in its entirety: 6. Non-Solicitation.

information with respect to its business, executives, directors, balance sheet, history, prospects or opportunities) or seeking to change or influence the control of the Company, or (vii) any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing (any such person described in clauses (i) to (vii), a “Potential Adverse Party”); (b) make, publicly or privately, any statements that disparage, or could otherwise cause harm to, the business or reputation of the Company and/or any current or former officer, director or employee of the Company; (c) join a “group” or become a “participant” in a solicitation with respect to the Company (other than a solicitation by the Board of Directors), as those terms are defined in applicable securities laws; and (d) aid, encourage, advise or otherwise provide assistance to any Potential Adverse Party in (i) asserting, prosecuting or defending any claim, action or proceeding against the Company, (ii) undertaking a proxy contest, withhold campaign or other shareholder activism campaign or proxy solicitation against the Company, (iii) proposing to acquire the Company or any of its assets or subsidiaries or (iv) making any other demands of the Company. If the Grantee is contacted by any Potential Adverse Party, the Grantee shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Company’s Chief Legal Officer (the “CLO”), and shall not discuss the Company with any such Potential Adverse Party without prior written approval from the CLO. If Grantee earns from the Company an amount of annualized cash compensation equivalent to or greater than sixty-percent of the threshold amount for highly compensated workers, as adjusted annually by the Colorado Division of Labor Standards and Statistics in the Department of Labor and Employment (for 2024, $74,250), then Sub-Sections 6(a) and 6(b) shall apply both during the term of Grantee’s Service and for a period of one year thereafter. Grantee stipulates that the customer non-solicitation covenants in Sub-Sections 6(a) and 6(b) are reasonable and necessary for the protection of trade secrets within the meaning of the Colorado Noncompete Act. The restrictions in this Section shall not be deemed to prohibit the Grantee from owning not more than one percent (1%) of the total shares of all classes of stock of any publicly held company. The Grantee acknowledges that the Company Group’s and its subsidiaries’ businesses are conducted internationally and agrees that the provisions in this Section shall operate in any country in which the Company conducts business while the Grantee is/was employed by the Company.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee is party to an employment or other agreement containing Restrictions on (a) confidentiality, (b) solicitation of customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company, (c) solicitation or hire of Company employees, and/or (d) competition (collectively, “Existing Restrictions”), any such Existing Restrictions will remain in effect and the Grantee shall remain bound by such Existing Restrictions. To the extent the restrictions contained in Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement conflict in any way with any Existing Restriction(s), such conflict shall be resolved by giving effect to the provision that provides the greatest protection to the Company that is enforceable under applicable law. The Grantee agrees and acknowledges that the period of time, geographical scope, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this Agreement are fair, and reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company. The Grantee also acknowledges that in the event the Grantee breaches any part of Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement, the damages to the Company would be irreparable. Therefore, in addition to monetary damages and/or reasonable attorney fees, the Company shall have the right to seek injunctive and/or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement. Further, the Grantee consents to the issuance of a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of any proceeding. The Grantee further understands and agrees that if the Grantee breaches any covenant set forth in Section 6, the duration of any covenant so breached shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, automatically be tolled from the date of the first breach until the date judicial relief providing effective remedy for such breach or breaches is obtained by the Company, or until the Company states in writing that it will seek no judicial relief for such breach. If any one or more provisions of Sections 5 or 6 shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to time, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed, by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the greatest extent compatible with applicable law as it shall then appear, and the parties expressly agree that any of the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 may be reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled to make such provision enforceable, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the parties consent to the enforcement of such provision as so reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled. The Grantee agrees, during (i) the twelve (12) month period following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of


 
employment due to Retirement, the twelve (12) month period following the final Vesting Date, to disclose to the Company, in writing, any person or entity with whom the Grantee becomes employed, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated, the Grantee’s date of hire or engagement, the Grantee’s job title, and a complete description of the Grantee’s duties. The Grantee agrees to make such disclosure to the Company no later than the date on which the Grantee accepts or otherwise agrees to become employed by, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated with such person or entity. While the Grantee is employed with the Company and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the final Vesting Date, the Grantee will provide any person or entity that the Grantee seeks an offer of employment or other engagement or retention from notice of the existence of this Agreement and the terms of Sections 5 and 6 before requesting or accepting such an offer. If the Grantee fails to provide such notice, the Grantee understands that the Grantee may be held liable for any consequential damages resulting from such failure. The Grantee agrees that the Company may send a copy of this Agreement to, or otherwise make the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement known to, any of the Grantee’s potential and future employers or other entity considering engaging the Grantee or which has engaged or employed the Grantee. The Grantee agrees not to assert any claim that such conduct by the Company is legally actionable interference or otherwise impermissible regardless of whether or not the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 are later found to be enforceable in whole or in part. Mindful of the obligations set forth in Sections 5 and 6, upon termination of the Grantee’s employment, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

Waiver of Jury Trial: Section 12 is deleted in its entirety. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit Grantee from disclosing information about unlawful acts in the workplace, such as harassment or discrimination or any other conduct that Grantee has reason to believe is unlawful. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver


 
of Grantee’s right to testify in an administrative, legislative, or judicial proceeding concerning alleged criminal conduct or alleged sexual harassment on the part of the Company, or on the part of the agents or employees of the Company, when Grantee has been required or requested to attend such a proceeding pursuant to a court order, subpoena, or written request from an administrative agency or the legislature.

indirectly, in soliciting or inducing any Company employee to leave the employ of the Company or become employed with or otherwise engaged by any person, entity or organization other than the Company; or hire or employ, or assist in the hiring or employment of, either directly or indirectly, any individual employed by the Company within sixty (60) days preceding that individual’s hire by the Grantee or the Grantee’s subsequent employer; and/or (d) Subject to Sub-Section 5(b), and except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise explicitly directed in writing by an officer of the Company, directly or through others: (a) provide any confidential information, including any information derived from the Grantee’s experience with the Company, to (i) any competitor of the Company, (ii) any person the Grantee knows or has reason to believe may be an investor or prospective investor in the Company, (iii) a member of the media, (iv) any prospective acquirer of the Company, (v) any litigant or potential litigant against the Company, (vi) any other person seeking information regarding the Company (including, without limitation, information with respect to its business, executives, directors, balance sheet, history, prospects or opportunities) or seeking to change or influence the control of the Company, or (vii) any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing (any such person described in clauses (i) to (vii), a “Potential Adverse Party”); (b) make, publicly or privately, any statements that disparage, or could otherwise cause harm to, the business or reputation of the Company and/or any current or former officer, director or employee of the Company; (c) join a “group” or become a “participant” in a solicitation with respect to the Company (other than a solicitation by the Board of Directors), as those terms are defined in applicable securities laws; and (d) aid, encourage, advise or otherwise provide assistance to any Potential Adverse Party in (i) asserting, prosecuting or defending any claim, action or proceeding against the Company, (ii) undertaking a proxy contest, withhold campaign or other shareholder activism campaign or proxy solicitation against the Company, (iii) proposing to acquire the Company or any of its assets or subsidiaries or (iv) making any other demands of the Company. If the Grantee is contacted by any Potential Adverse Party, the Grantee shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Company’s Chief Legal Officer (the “CLO”), and shall not discuss the Company with any such Potential Adverse Party without prior written approval from the CLO. The restrictions in this Section shall not be deemed to prohibit the Grantee from owning not more than one percent (1%) of the total shares of all classes of stock of any publicly held company. The Grantee acknowledges that the Company Group’s businesses are conducted internationally and agrees that the provisions in this Section shall operate in any country in which the Company conducts business while the Grantee is/was employed by the Company. Further, nothing in this Agreement or any Company policy restricts Grantee from having additional outside employment or contract work so long as the outside work does not result in disclosure or use of confidential Company information or proprietary Company information, violate Grantee’s duty of loyalty, or create a conflict of interest. The Company has previously entered into agreements with certain executives and employees that contain restrictive covenants (“Restrictions”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee is party to an employment or other agreement containing Restrictions on (a) confidentiality, (b) solicitation of


 
customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company, (c) solicitation or hire of Company employees, and/or (d) competition (collectively, “Existing Restrictions”), any such Existing Restrictions will remain in effect and the Grantee shall remain bound by such Existing Restrictions.

The Grantee agrees that the Company may send a copy of this Agreement to, or otherwise make the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement


 
known to, any of the Grantee’s potential and future employers or other entity considering engaging the Grantee or which has engaged or employed the Grantee. The Grantee agrees not to assert any claim that such conduct by the Company is legally actionable interference or otherwise impermissible regardless of whether or not the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 are later found to be enforceable in whole or in part.

The restrictions in this Section 6 shall be effective and binding only to the extent permissible under Rule 5.6 of the Maine Rules of Professional Conduct or any similar rule governing the practice of law that is applicable to the Grantee. The restrictions in this Section shall not be construed to prevent the Grantee from, following the termination of the Grantee’s Service, working for a business entity that does not compete with the Company or its subsidiaries simply because the entity is affiliated with a Competing Enterprise, so long as the entity is operationally separate and distinct from the Competing Enterprise and the Grantee’s job responsibilities at that entity are unrelated to the Competing Enterprise. The restrictions in this Section will not apply to employment by or the rendering of services to businesses that sell fuel or convenience items if those businesses are not directly competing with the Company or its subsidiaries, owned or controlled.

The Grantee acknowledges that the Company Group’s businesses are conducted internationally and agrees that the provisions in this Section shall operate in any country in which the Company conducts business while the Grantee is/was employed by the Company. The Grantee acknowledges that the Company’s grant and provision of the MSUs, to which the Grantee would not be entitled absent execution of this Agreement, constitute fair, reasonable, and mutually agreed upon consideration to support this Sub-Section 6(e). This Sub-Section 6(e), only, shall not apply if the Grantee is terminated without Cause or laid off. For purposes of this Sub-Section 6(e), only, the term “Cause” shall mean willful misconduct by the Grantee or willful failure by the Grantee to perform his or her responsibilities to the Company (including, without limitation, breach by the Grantee of any provision of any employment, consulting, advisory, nondisclosure, non- competition or other similar agreement between the Grantee and the Company), as determined by the Company, which determination shall be conclusive. The Grantee’s employment shall be considered to have been terminated for Cause if the Company determines, within thirty (30) days after the Grantee’s termination, that termination for Cause was warranted; and/or (f) Subject to Sub-Section 5(b), and except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise explicitly directed in writing by an officer of the Company, directly or through others: (a) provide any confidential information, including any information derived from the Grantee’s experience with the Company, to (i) any competitor of the Company, (ii) any person the Grantee knows or has reason to believe may be an investor or prospective investor


 
in the Company, (iii) a member of the media, (iv) any prospective acquirer of the Company, (v) any litigant or potential litigant against the Company, (vi) any other person seeking information regarding the Company (including, without limitation, information with respect to its business, executives, directors, balance sheet, history, prospects or opportunities) or seeking to change or influence the control of the Company, or (vii) any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing (any such person described in clauses (i) to (vii), a “Potential Adverse Party”); (b) make, publicly or privately, any statements that disparage, or could otherwise cause harm to, the business or reputation of the Company and/or any current or former officer, director or employee of the Company; (c) join a “group” or become a “participant” in a solicitation with respect to the Company (other than a solicitation by the Board of Directors), as those terms are defined in applicable securities laws; and (d) aid, encourage, advise or otherwise provide assistance to any Potential Adverse Party in (i) asserting, prosecuting or defending any claim, action or proceeding against the Company, (ii) undertaking a proxy contest, withhold campaign or other shareholder activism campaign or proxy solicitation against the Company, (iii) proposing to acquire the Company or any of its assets or subsidiaries or (iv) making any other demands of the Company. If the Grantee is contacted by any Potential Adverse Party, the Grantee shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Company’s Chief Legal Officer (the “CLO”), and shall not discuss the Company with any such Potential Adverse Party without prior written approval from the CLO. The Company has previously entered into agreements with certain executives and employees that contain restrictive covenants (“Restrictions”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee is party to an employment or other agreement containing Restrictions on (a) confidentiality, (b) solicitation of customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company, (c) solicitation or hire of Company employees, and/or (d) competition (collectively, “Existing Restrictions”), any such Existing Restrictions will remain in effect and the Grantee shall remain bound by such Existing Restrictions. To the extent the restrictions contained in Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement conflict in any way with any Existing Restriction(s), such conflict shall be resolved by giving effect to the provision that provides the greatest protection to the Company that is enforceable under applicable law. The Grantee agrees and acknowledges that the period of time, geographical scope, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this Agreement are fair, and reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company. The Grantee also acknowledges that in the event the Grantee breaches any part of Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement, the damages to the Company would be irreparable. Therefore, in addition to monetary damages and/or reasonable attorney fees, the Company shall have the right to seek injunctive and/or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement. Further, the Grantee consents to the issuance of a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of any proceeding. The Grantee further understands and agrees that if the Grantee breaches any covenant set forth in Section 6, the duration of any covenant so breached shall, to the fullest extent


 
permitted by law, automatically be tolled from the date of the first breach until the date judicial relief providing effective remedy for such breach or breaches is obtained by the Company, or until the Company states in writing that it will seek no judicial relief for such breach; except that the duration of the covenants contained in Sub-Section 6(e), only, shall extend to twenty-four (24) months if the Grantee breached his or her fiduciary duty to the Company and/or if the Grantee has unlawfully taken, physically or electronically, property belonging to the Company. If any one or more provisions of Sections 5 or 6 shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to time, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed, by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the greatest extent compatible with applicable law as it shall then appear, and the parties expressly agree that any of the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 may be reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled to make such provision enforceable, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the parties consent to the enforcement of such provision as so reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled. The Grantee agrees, during (i) the twelve (12) month period following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, the twelve (12) month period following the final Vesting Date, to disclose to the Company, in writing, any person or entity with whom the Grantee becomes employed, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated, the Grantee’s date of hire or engagement, the Grantee’s job title, and a complete description of the Grantee’s duties. The Grantee agrees to make such disclosure to the Company no later than the date on which the Grantee accepts or otherwise agrees to become employed by, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated with such person or entity. While the Grantee is employed with the Company and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the final Vesting Date, the Grantee will provide any person or entity that the Grantee seeks an offer of employment or other engagement or retention from notice of the existence of this Agreement and the terms of Sections 5 and 6 before requesting or accepting such an offer. If the Grantee fails to provide such notice, the Grantee understands that the Grantee may be held liable for any consequential damages resulting from such failure. The Grantee agrees that the Company may send a copy of this Agreement to, or otherwise make the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement known to, any of the Grantee’s potential and future employers or other entity considering engaging the Grantee or which has engaged or employed the Grantee. The Grantee agrees not to assert any claim that such conduct by the Company is legally actionable interference or otherwise impermissible regardless of whether or not the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 are later found to be enforceable in whole or in part. Mindful of the obligations set forth in Sections 5 and 6, upon termination of the Grantee’s employment, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company. The Grantee is hereby informed that the Grantee has the right to consult with counsel prior to signing this Agreement. Governing Law:

twelve (12) months following the final Vesting Date, the Grantee shall not, on behalf of the Grantee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, entity or organization other than the Company, whether as an agent or otherwise, solicit any employee of the Company to leave the Company; (c) During the term of the Grantee’s Service, the Grantee promises and agrees that the Grantee will not, in any way, directly or indirectly, either as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, lender, investor, corporate officer, board member, director, or in any other individual or representative capacity, engage or attempt to engage in any competitive activity relating to the subject matter of the Grantee’s Service or relating to the Company Group’s business; (d) If, as of the date enforcement is sought or Grantee’s last day of employment (whichever is earlier), Grantee’s earnings from the Company in the prior year (or portion thereof for which Grantee was employed), when annualized, exceed the amount required by Wash. Rev. Code 49.62.020 as adjusted by 49.62.040 (for 2024, $120,559.99), then Grantee shall not become employed by, render services to or directly or indirectly (whether for compensation or otherwise, and whether as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, lender, investor, corporate officer, board member, director, or in any other individual or representative capacity), own or hold a proprietary interest in, manage, operate, or control, or join or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or furnish any capital to or be connected in any manner with, any Competing Enterprise. For purposes of this Sub-Section 6(d), a “Competing Enterprise” means any entity, organization or person engaged, or planning to become engaged, in substantially the same or similar business to that being conducted or actively and specifically planned to be conducted during the Grantee’s Service or within six (6) months after the Grantee’s termination of Service or its subsidiaries, owned or controlled. It includes, without limitation: (i) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being involved in providing any products or services relating to transaction or payment processing, including those for the benefit of fleets; travel; healthcare; education; payroll; or, benefits through charge cards, credit cards, procurement cards or any other form of payment services or electronic commerce; (ii) the sale, distribution or publication of petroleum product pricing or management information or other products or services currently sold or to the best of the Grantee’s knowledge contemplated to be sold by the Company or any of its owned or controlled subsidiaries, and (iii) the business of developing, managing, operating, marketing, processing, financing, or otherwise being involved in providing commercial travel, entertainment and purchasing credit cards. The restrictions in this Section 6 shall be effective and binding only to the extent permissible under Rule 5.6 of the Maine Rules of Professional Conduct or any similar rule governing the practice of law that is applicable to the Grantee. The restrictions in this Section shall not be construed to prevent the Grantee from, following the termination of the Grantee’s Service, working for a business entity that does not compete with the Company or its subsidiaries simply because the entity is affiliated with a Competing Enterprise, so long as the entity is operationally separate and distinct from the Competing Enterprise and the Grantee’s job responsibilities at that entity are unrelated to the Competing Enterprise. The restrictions in this Section


 
will not apply to employment by or the rendering of services to businesses that sell fuel or convenience items if those businesses are not directly competing with the Company or its subsidiaries, owned or controlled. The restrictions in this Section shall also not be deemed to prohibit the Grantee from owning not more than one percent (1%) of the total shares of all classes of stock of any publicly held company. The Grantee acknowledges that the Company Group’s businesses are conducted internationally and agrees that the provisions in this Section shall operate in any country in which the Company conducts business while the Grantee is/was employed by the Company. In the event Grantee’s employment is terminated as a result of a layoff, this Sub-Section 6(d) will not be enforced by the Company. If Grantee is a new hire, Grantee acknowledges that the terms of this Agreement were disclosed to Grantee in writing no later than the time of the acceptance of the offer of employment. If Grantee is a current employee, Grantee acknowledges that this Agreement provides, and Grantee has received, good, valuable, sufficient and independent consideration for this Sub-Section 6(d); and/or (e) Subject to Sub-Section 5(b), and except in the proper course of the Grantee’s duties to the Company in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise explicitly directed in writing by an officer of the Company, directly or through others: (a) provide any confidential information, including any information derived from the Grantee’s experience with the Company, to (i) any competitor of the Company, (ii) any person the Grantee knows or has reason to believe may be an investor or prospective investor in the Company, (iii) a member of the media, (iv) any prospective acquirer of the Company, (v) any litigant or potential litigant against the Company, (vi) any other person seeking information regarding the Company (including, without limitation, information with respect to its business, executives, directors, balance sheet, history, prospects or opportunities) or seeking to change or influence the control of the Company, or (vii) any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing (any such person described in clauses (i) to (vii), a “Potential Adverse Party”); (b) make, publicly or privately, any statements that disparage, or could otherwise cause harm to, the business or reputation of the Company and/or any current or former officer, director or employee of the Company; (c) join a “group” or become a “participant” in a solicitation with respect to the Company (other than a solicitation by the Board of Directors), as those terms are defined in applicable securities laws; and (d) aid, encourage, advise or otherwise provide assistance to any Potential Adverse Party in (i) asserting, prosecuting or defending any claim, action or proceeding against the Company, (ii) undertaking a proxy contest, withhold campaign or other shareholder activism campaign or proxy solicitation against the Company, (iii) proposing to acquire the Company or any of its assets or subsidiaries or (iv) making any other demands of the Company. If the Grantee is contacted by any Potential Adverse Party, the Grantee shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Company’s Chief Legal Officer (the “CLO”), and shall not discuss the Company with any such Potential Adverse Party without prior written approval from the CLO. The Company has previously entered into agreements with certain executives and employees that contain restrictive covenants (“Restrictions”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee is party to an employment or other agreement containing Restrictions on (a) confidentiality, (b) solicitation of


 
customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company, (c) solicitation or hire of Company employees, and/or (d) competition (collectively, “Existing Restrictions”), any such Existing Restrictions will remain in effect and the Grantee shall remain bound by such Existing Restrictions. To the extent the restrictions contained in Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement conflict in any way with any Existing Restriction(s), such conflict shall be resolved by giving effect to the provision that provides the greatest protection to the Company that is enforceable under applicable law. The Grantee agrees and acknowledges that the period of time, geographical scope, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this Agreement are fair, and reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company. The Grantee also acknowledges that in the event the Grantee breaches any part of Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement, the damages to the Company would be irreparable. Therefore, in addition to monetary damages and/or reasonable attorney fees, the Company shall have the right to seek injunctive and/or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement. Further, the Grantee consents to the issuance of a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of any proceeding. If any one or more provisions of Sections 5 or 6 shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to time, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed, by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the greatest extent compatible with applicable law as it shall then appear, and the parties expressly agree that any of the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 may be reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled to make such provision enforceable, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the parties consent to the enforcement of such provision as so reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled. The Grantee agrees, during (i) the twelve (12) month period following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, the twelve (12) month period following the final Vesting Date, to disclose to the Company, in writing, any person or entity with whom the Grantee becomes employed, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated, the Grantee’s date of hire or engagement, the Grantee’s job title, and a complete description of the Grantee’s duties. The Grantee agrees to make such disclosure to the Company no later than the date on which the Grantee accepts or otherwise agrees to become employed by, contracted to, or otherwise affiliated with such person or entity. While the Grantee is employed with the Company and continuing thereafter until (i) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Grantee’s Service for any reason other than Retirement, or (ii) in the event of a termination of employment due to Retirement, twelve (12) months following the final Vesting Date, the Grantee will provide any person or entity that the Grantee seeks an offer of employment or other engagement or retention from notice of the existence of this Agreement and the terms of Sections 5 and 6 before requesting or accepting such an offer. If the Grantee fails to provide such notice, the Grantee understands that the Grantee may be held liable for any consequential damages resulting from such failure. The Grantee agrees that the Company may send a copy of this Agreement to, or otherwise make the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement known to, any of the Grantee’s potential and future employers or other entity considering engaging the Grantee or which has engaged or employed the Grantee. The Grantee agrees not to assert any


 
claim that such conduct by the Company is legally actionable interference or otherwise impermissible regardless of whether or not the provisions of Sections 5 or 6 are later found to be enforceable in whole or in part. Mindful of the obligations set forth in Sections 5 and 6, upon termination of the Grantee’s employment, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company. Governing Law: The following provision replaces Section 10 of the Agreement in its entirety: 10) Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action or other matters that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflict or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation thereof to the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. If the laws of the State of Washington apply to the Grantee, then nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to deprive the Grantee of the protections or benefits of the Washington Noncompete Act (RCW §§49.62.005 – 900). Consent to Jurisdiction: The following is added to the end of Section 11: If the laws of the State of Washington apply to the Grantee, then nothing in this Agreement shall require the Grantee to adjudicate a noncompetition covenant outside of the State of Washington. Grantee understands that nothing in this Agreement or in any Company policy prevents Grantee from discussing or disclosing conduct, or the existence of a settlement involving conduct, that Grantee reasonably believed to be illegal discrimination, illegal harassment, illegal retaliation, a wage and hour violation, or sexual assault, or that is recognized as illegal under state, federal, or common law, or that is recognized as against a clear mandate of public policy, where the conduct occurred at the workplace, at work-related events coordinated by or through the employer, between employees, or between an employer and an employee, whether on or off the employment premises; provided, however, that Grantee remains subject to any obligation to keep confidential the amount paid in settlement of any claim.

6 Participant and whose Account is credited with an Incentive Contribution shall become a Participant as of the date such amount is credited. 3.2 Continued Participation A Participant shall be eligible to defer Eligible Compensation and receive allocations of Matching Contributions and Incentive Contributions, subject to the terms of the Plan, for as long as such Participant remains an Eligible Employee. A Participant who is no longer an Eligible Employee but has not Separated from Service may not defer Eligible Compensation under the Plan beyond the Plan Year in which he or she became ineligible but may otherwise exercise all of the rights of a Participant under the Plan with respect to his or her Account. On and after a Separation from Service, a Participant shall remain a Participant as long as his or her Account Balance is greater than zero (0). An individual shall cease being a Participant in the Plan when all benefits under the Plan to which he or she is entitled have been paid. ARTICLE 4-ANNUAL, MATCHING AND INCENTIVE CONTRIBUTIONS 4.1 Annual Deferrals The election to defer the receipt of Eligible Compensation shall be made on an Election Form and shall apply separately to each type of Eligible Compensation to be deferred. The maximum amount of Eligible Compensation that a Participant may elect to defer for any Plan Year is (i) as to Base Salary, 80%; (ii) as to Annual Bonus, 98%; and as to Commissions, 80%. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Administrator may in its sole discretion establish a minimum deferral amount at any time or from time to time, may increase the maximum amount which may be deferred and may establish different minimum and maximum deferral amounts for different Participants. If no election is made, the amount deferred shall be zero. A new deferral election will be required for each Plan Year. An Election Form must be delivered, in accordance with procedures established by the Plan Administrator, before the end of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year for which the election is to be effective. In the case of Commissions, services are deemed performed in the year in which the customer pays the Employer. A Participant’s Eligible Compensation shall be reduced in accordance with the Participant’s election hereunder and amounts deferred hereunder shall be paid by the Employer to the Trust as soon as administratively feasible and credited to the Participant’s Account as of the date the amounts are received by the Trustee. 4.2 Matching Contributions At the Employer’s sole discretion, the Employer may make Matching Contributions at a rate established by the Employer. Each Matching Contribution will be credited, as of the later of the date it is received by the Trustee or the date the Trustee receives from the Plan Administrator such instructions as the Trustee may reasonably require to allocate the amount received among the asset accounts maintained by the Trustee. Unless and until modified by the Company, in its sole discretion, the Matching Contribution for Participants who are Vice Presidents or above, will equal 100% of the amount of the Participant’s Annual Bonus deferred into the Plan for the Plan Year, up to a maximum of 6% of such Annual Bonus.


 
7 4.3 Incentive Contributions In addition to other amounts deferred under the Plan, the Employer may, in its sole discretion, select one or more Eligible Employees to have an Incentive Contribution allocated to his or her Account on such terms as the Employer shall specify at the time it defers such amount. For example, the Employer may credit an amount to a Participant’s Account and condition the payment of that amount and accrued earnings thereon upon the Participant remaining employed by the Employer for an additional specified period of time. If the Employer does not specify a method of distribution, the Incentive Contribution, to the extent vested, shall be distributed in a manner consistent with the election last made by the Participant under Section 7.5. The Employer, in its discretion, may permit the Participant to designate a distribution schedule for a particular Incentive Contribution provided that such designation is made under the timing rules of Section 4.1 as if the Participant were making an Annual Deferral. 4.4 Employment Taxes For each Plan Year in which an Annual Deferral is being withheld from a Participant, the Participant’s Employer(s) shall withhold from that portion of the Participant’s Eligible Compensation that is not being deferred or other appropriate sources, in a manner determined by the Employer(s), the Participant’s share of FICA and other employment taxes on the amount of such Annual Deferral and/or on the amount of other vested contributions pursuant to Section 4.2 or 4.3 above. ARTICLE 5-ACCOUNTS 5.1 Accounts The Plan Administrator shall establish an Account for each Participant reflecting Annual Deferrals, Matching Contributions and Incentive Contributions made for the Participant’s benefit together with any adjustments for Earnings and any payments from the Account. The Plan Administrator may cause the Trustee to maintain and invest separate asset accounts corresponding to each Participant’s Account. The Plan Administrator shall establish sub- accounts for each Participant that has more than one election in effect under Section 7.5 and such other sub-accounts as are necessary for the proper administration of the Plan. 5.2 Investments The assets of the Trust shall be invested in such investments by the Trustee, following direction from the Employer. The Participant’s investment preferences may be (but are not required to be) considered when investing the assets attributable to a Participant’s Account. 5.3 Valuation of Account As of each Valuation Date, a Participant’s Account shall consist of the Account Balance as of the immediately preceding Valuation Date, plus any amounts credited under Article IV since the immediately preceding Valuation Date, plus (or minus) any Earnings thereon since the immediately preceding Valuation Date, and minus the aggregate amount of distributions, if any, made from such Account since the immediately preceding Valuation Date.


 
8 ARTICLE 6-VESTING 6.1 General A Participant shall be immediately vested in, i.e., shall have a nonforfeitable right to, all Annual Deferrals and Matching Contributions, and all Earnings attributable thereto, credited to his or her Account. A Participant shall become vested in the portion of his or her Account attributable to Incentive Contributions in accordance with the terms of the Incentive Contribution specified by the Employer, subject to earlier vesting in accordance with Sections 6.3, 6.4, and 6.5. 6.2 Vesting Service For purposes of applying any vesting schedule that may apply to an Incentive Contribution, a Participant shall be considered to have completed a year of service for each complete year of full-time service with the Employer or an Affiliate, measured from the Participant’s first date of such employment, unless the Employer also maintains a 401(k) plan that is qualified under section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code in which the Participant participates, in which case any rules governing vesting service under that plan shall also be controlling under this Plan. 6.3 Change in Control; Affiliate Sale A Participant shall become fully vested in his or her Account immediately prior to a Change in Control. A Participant that is employed by an Affiliate that undergoes an Affiliate Sale shall become fully vested in his or her Account immediately prior to such Affiliate Sale. 6.4 Death or Disability A Participant shall become fully vested in his or her Account immediately prior to death or Disability. 6.5 Insolvency A Participant shall become fully vested in his or her Account Balance immediately prior to the Employer becoming Insolvent, in which case the Participant will have the same rights as a general creditor of the Employer with respect to his or her Account Balance. ARTICLE 7-PAYMENTS 7.1 Time of Payment of Plan Benefit In accordance with Section 7.5, a Participant shall elect to have all or a portion of his or her Account Balance distributed, subject to the terms of this Article 7 and the Election Form, commencing: (a) Separation from Service. Upon the Distribution Date next following the six- month anniversary of the Participant’s Separation from Service.


 
9 (b) Specified Distribution Date. Upon the earlier of (i) the specified Distribution Date (in accordance with rules established by the Plan Administrator) or (ii) the Distribution Date next following the six-month anniversary of the Participant’s Separation from Service. The Participant’s election of a time of distribution may only be changed by the Participant consistent with Section 7.7. 7.2 Payments upon Affiliate Sale; Effect of a Change in Control Notwithstanding a Participant’s election or the other provisions of this Article 7, upon an Affiliate Sale, the Employer that undergoes such Affiliate Sale shall pay to any Participant employed by such Employer a lump sum payment equal to his or her vested Account Balance as soon as administratively practicable, but in any event within 60 days of such event. Notwithstanding a Participant’s election or the other provisions of this Article 7, the Board may determine in connection with a Change in Control, whether or not to terminate the Plan under Section 9.2. 7.3 Payment upon Death; Payment upon Disability. Notwithstanding a Participant’s election or other provisions of this Article 7, if a Participant dies or becomes Disabled prior to the distribution of any or all of his or her Account Balance, the Account Balance shall be paid in a single lump-sum payment (i) to the Participant, as soon as administratively practicable but not later than 90 days following the date of the Participant’s Disability or (ii) to the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary or Designated Beneficiaries, as soon as administratively practicable but not later than 90 days following the date of the Participant’s death. Any beneficiary designation shall be made by the Participant on an Election Form filed with the Plan Administrator and may be changed by the Participant at any time by filing another Election Form containing the revised instructions. If no beneficiary is designated or no Designated Beneficiary survives the Participant, payment shall be made to the Participant’s surviving spouse, or, if none, payment shall be made in a single lump sum to the Participant’s estate. 7.4 Unforeseeable Emergency Notwithstanding a Participant’s election under Section 7.1 and 7.5, a Participant may elect payment on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency. Payment may not be made under this section to the extent the Unforeseeable Emergency is or may be relieved through insurance or other assets available to the Participant without causing severe financial hardship; shall not exceed the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need (which may include amounts necessary to pay income or penalty taxes reasonably anticipated to result from the payment); and shall be made only to the extent permitted under Section 409A. 7.5 Form of Payment A Participant shall elect from the alternatives in Section 7.1 (on the Election Form used to elect to defer Eligible Compensation under Section 4.1) the time at which the Annual Deferrals, Matching Contributions and, to the extent not specified by the Employer at grant, vested


 
10 Incentive Contributions, if any, (including any Earnings attributable thereto) will commence to be paid to the Participant. The Participant shall also elect thereon for payments to be paid in either: (a) a single lump-sum payment; or (b) annual installments over a period elected by the Participant up to 10 years, the amount of each installment to be paid on the Distribution Date coinciding with or next following the anniversary of the date of the first payment, in an amount equal to the Account Balance (or portion thereof covered by the form of payment election) as of a Valuation Date no earlier than ten (10) days prior to the applicable payment date, divided by the number of installments remaining to be paid. In the event a Participant fails to make a distribution election, the portion of his or her vested Account Balance for which no election is in effect shall be distributed as a lump sum following the earliest to occur of the Participant’s death, Disability or Separation from Service at the time specified in Section 7.1 or 7.3, as applicable. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 7, payment of a Participant’s Account shall be made in accordance with the Participant’s elections under this Section 7.5. 7.6 Small Benefit In the event the Plan Administrator determines that the vested balance of all of a Participant’s Account under the Plan is less than $10,000 upon a payment event, the entire amount shall be paid in the form of a lump sum payment, notwithstanding any Participant election to the contrary, on the Distribution Date next following the six-month anniversary of the Separation from Service (if the applicable payment event is a Separation from Service and no payment has yet been made) or otherwise on the next following Distribution Date. 7.7 Changes in Form of Benefit A Participant’s election to change the form in which some or all of his or her Account Balance is to be paid shall, to the extent required by Section 409A, meet the following requirements: (a) the new election may not take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which the election is made; (b) a new election with respect to a payment described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(a)(4) may not be made within 12 months of the date the lump sum payment is to be made or the first installment is to be made; and (c) in the case of an election related to a payment other than Disability or death, the payment with respect to which such change is made must be deferred for a period of not less than 5 years from the date such payment would otherwise have been made. 7.8 Forfeiture of Non-Vested Amounts


 
11 To the extent that any amounts credited to a Participant’s Account are not vested at the time such amounts are otherwise payable under Section 7.1, such amounts shall be forfeited and shall be used to satisfy the Employer’s obligation to make contributions to any Trust under the Plan. 7.9 Effect of Reemployment In the event a Participant has a Separation from Service and is subsequently rehired after payment of any portion of his or her Account Balance under this Plan has commenced, any such payments due under the method selected by the Participant shall continue to be made. For purposes of determining the compensation of such a rehired employee that is eligible to be deferred under the Plan, payments made pursuant to this Plan shall not count as Eligible Compensation. If a Participant who has had a Separation from Service is rehired before payment of any portion of his or her Account Balance under this Plan has commenced or has been made, the Participant shall be deemed as if he or she had not had a Separation from Service. 7.10 Taxes The Participant’s Employer(s), or the trustee of the Trust, shall withhold from any payments made to a Participant under this Plan all federal, state and local income, employment and other taxes required to be withheld by the Employer(s), or the trustee of the Trust, in connection with such payments, in amounts and in a manner to be determined in the sole discretion of the Employer(s) and the trustee of the Trust. ARTICLE 8-PLAN ADMINISTRATOR 8.1 Plan Administration and Interpretation The Plan Administrator shall oversee the administration of the Plan. The Plan Administrator shall have complete control and authority to determine the rights and benefits and all claims, demands and actions arising out of the provisions of the Plan of any Participant, Designated Beneficiary, deceased Participant, or other person having or claiming to have any interest under the Plan. The Plan Administrator shall have complete discretion to interpret the Plan and to decide all matters under the Plan. Such interpretation and decision shall be final, conclusive and binding on all Participants and any person claiming under or through any Participant, in the absence of clear and convincing evidence that the Plan Administrator acted arbitrarily and capriciously. Any individual(s) serving as Plan Administrator who is a Participant shall not vote or act on any matter relating solely to himself or herself. When making a determination or calculation, the Plan Administrator shall be entitled to rely on information furnished by a Participant, a Designated Beneficiary, the Employer or the Trustee. The Plan Administrator shall have the responsibility for complying with any reporting and disclosure requirements or ERISA. 8.2 Powers, Duties, Procedures, Etc. The Plan Administrator shall have such powers and duties as are described herein and in ERISA, and may adopt such policies and procedures, may act in accordance with such policies and procedures, may appoint such officers or agents, may delegate such powers and duties, may receive such reimbursements and compensation, and shall follow such claims and appeal


 
12 procedures with respect to the Plan as it may establish, consistent with its duties under the Plan and ERISA. 8.3 Information To enable the Plan Administrator to perform its functions, the Employer shall supply full and timely information to the Plan Administrator on all matters relating to the compensation of Participants, their employment, retirement, death, termination of employment, and such other pertinent facts as the Plan Administrator may require. 8.4 Indemnification of Plan Administrator The Employer agrees to indemnify and to defend to the fullest extent permitted by law any officer(s) or employee(s) who serve as Plan Administrator (including any such individual who formerly served as Plan Administrator) against all liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and amounts paid in settlement of any claims approved by the Employer) occasioned by any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan, if such act or omission is in good faith. ARTICLE 9-AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 9.1 Amendments The Board (or a committee thereof) shall have the right to amend the Plan from time to time, subject to Section 9.3, by an instrument in writing which has been executed on behalf of the Company by its duly authorized officer. 9.2 Termination of Plan This Plan is strictly a voluntary undertaking on the part of the Employer and shall not be deemed to constitute a contract between the Employer and any employee or a consideration for, or an inducement or condition of employment for, the performance of the services by any employee. The Board reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time, subject to Section 9.3, by an instrument in writing which has been executed on behalf of the Company by its duly authorized officer. Upon termination, the Employer may (a) elect to continue to maintain any Trust to pay benefits hereunder as they become due as if the Plan had not terminated or (b) direct the Trustee to pay promptly to Participants (or their beneficiaries) the vested balance of their Accounts. For purposes of the preceding sentence, in the event the Employer chooses to implement clause (b), the Account Balances of all Participants who are in the employ of the Employer at the time the Trustee is directed to pay such balances shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable; and all Account Balances shall be paid in compliance with Section 409A under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409-3(j)(4)(ix). After Participants and their beneficiaries are paid all Plan benefits to which they are entitled, all remaining assets of the Trust attributable to Participants who terminated employment with the Employer prior to termination of the Plan and who were not fully vested in their Accounts under Article 6 at that time shall be returned to the Employer. 9.3 Existing Rights


 
13 No amendment or termination of the Plan shall adversely affect the rights of any Participant with respect to amounts that have been credited to his or her Account prior to the date of such amendment or termination without the consent of such Participant. ARTICLE 10-CLAIMS PROCEDURE Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Plan shall be filed in writing with the Plan Administrator which shall make all determinations concerning such claim. Any claim filed with the Plan Administrator and any decision by the Plan Administrator denying such claim shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the Claimant. If claim for benefits is denied by the Plan Administrator, the Plan Administrator shall give written notice of such denial to the applicant, by certified or registered mail, within 60 days after the claim was filed with the Plan Administrator; provided, however, that such 60-day period may be extended to 120 days by the Plan Administrator if it determines that special circumstances exist which require an extension of the time required for processing the claim. Such denial shall set forth: (a) the specific reason or reasons for the denial; (b) the specific Plan provisions on which the denial is based; (c) any additional material or information necessary for the applicant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and (d) an explanation of the Plan’s claim review procedure. Following receipt of such denial, the applicant or his or her duly authorized representative may: (a) request a review of the denial by filing written application for review with the Plan Administrator within 60 days after receipt by the applicant of such denial; (b) review documents pertinent to the claim at such reasonable time and location as shall be mutually agreeable to the applicant and the Plan Administrator; and (c) submit issues and comments in writing to the Plan Administrator relating to its review of the claim. The Plan Administrator shall, after consideration of the application for review, render a decision and shall give written notice thereof to the applicant, by certified or registered mail, within 60 days after receipt by the Plan Administrator of the application for review; provided, however, that such 60-day period may be extended to 120 days by the Plan Administrator if it determines that special circumstances exist which require an extension of the time required for processing the application for review. Such notice shall include specific reasons for the decision and specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based.


 
14 ARTICLE 11-TRUST 11.1 Establishment of the Trust The Company shall establish the Trust, and each Employer shall at least annually transfer over to the Trust such assets as the Employer determines, in its sole discretion, are necessary to provide, on a present value basis, for its respective future liabilities created with respect to the Annual Deferral amounts for such Employer’s Participants for all periods prior to the transfer, as well as any debits and credits to the Participants’ Account Balances for all periods prior to the transfer, taking into consideration the value of the assets in the Trust at the time of the transfer. 11.2 Interrelationship of the Plan and the Trust The provisions of the Plan and the Election Form shall govern the rights of a Participant to receive distributions pursuant to the Plan. The provisions of the Trust shall govern the rights of the Employers, Participants and the creditors of the Employers to the assets transferred to the Trust. Each Employer shall at all times remain liable to carry out its obligations under the Plan. 11.3 Distributions from the Trust Each Employer’s obligations under the Plan may be satisfied with Trust assets distributed pursuant to the terms of the Trust, and any such distribution shall reduce the Employer’s obligations under this Plan. ARTICLE 12-MISCELLANEOUS 12.1 No Funding The Plan constitutes a mere unsecured promise by the Employer to make payments in accordance with the terms of the Plan and Participants and beneficiaries shall have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Employer. Nothing in the Plan will be construed to give any employee or any other person rights to any specific assets of the Employer or of any other person. In all events, it is the intent of the Employer that the Plan be treated as unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA. 12.2 Non-assignability None of the benefits, payments, proceeds or claims of any Participant or Designated Beneficiary shall be subject to any claim of any creditor of any Participant or Designated Beneficiary and, in particular, the same shall not be subject to attachment or garnishment or other legal process by any creditor of such Participant or Designated Beneficiary, nor shall any Participant or Designated Beneficiary have any right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber or assign any of the benefits or payments or proceeds which he or she may expect to receive, contingently or otherwise, under the Plan. 12.3 Limitation of Participants’ Rights


 
15 Nothing contained in the Plan shall confer upon any person a right to be employed or to continue in the employ of the Employer, or interfere in any way with the right of the Employer to terminate the employment of a Participant in the Plan at any time, with or without cause. 12.4 Participants Bound Any action with respect to the Plan taken by the Plan Administrator or the Employer or the Trustee or any action authorized by or taken at the direction of the Plan Administrator, the Employer or the Trustee shall be conclusive upon all Participants and beneficiaries entitled to benefits under the Plan. 12.5 Receipt and Release Any payment to any Participant or Designated Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of the Plan shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims against the Employer, the Plan Administrator and the Trustee under the Plan, and the Plan Administrator may require such Participant or Designated Beneficiary, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release to such effect; provided, however, that the timing of such release shall be in compliance with Section 409A and shall not cause an impermissible delay of payment. If any Participant or Designated Beneficiary is determined by the Plan Administrator to be incompetent by reason of physical or mental disability (including minority) to give a valid receipt and release, the Plan Administrator may cause the payment or payments becoming due to such person to be made to another person for his or her benefit without responsibility on the part of the Plan Administrator, the Employer or the Trustee to follow the application of such funds. 12.6 Governing Law The Plan shall be construed, administered, and governed in all respects under and by the laws of the state of Delaware, without effect to conflicts of laws provisions thereof. If any provision shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall continue to be fully effective. 12.7 Headings and Subheadings Headings and subheadings in this Plan are inserted for convenience only and are not to be considered in the construction of the provisions hereof. 12.8 Section 409A Compliance. The terms of the Plan shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A, and the Company shall have no right to make any payment under the Plan, except in compliance with Section 409A. It is intended that each installment of any payments made hereunder shall be treated as a separate “payment” for purposes of Section 409A. It is intended that payments made under the Plan on or before the 15th day of the third month following the end of the Participant’s first taxable year in which the right to the payment is no


 
16 longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture shall be exempt from compliance with Section 409A pursuant to the exception for short-term deferrals set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4). A payment made hereunder will be considered timely made if made in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(d). If a Participant is a Specified Employee as of the date of his or her Separation from Service and distribution is made on account of Separation from Service, no amount will be paid under this Plan during the six-month period following such separation, unless such Participant sooner dies. No Employer shall have an obligation to reimburse a Participant for any tax penalty or interest payable, or provide a gross-up payment in connection with any tax liability of a Participant under Section 409A. The Company shall have no authority to accelerate payments in excess of the authority permitted under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(j). Payment may be delayed to a date after the payment date designated in the Plan if the Company’s deduction with respect to such payment otherwise would be limited or eliminated by the application of Section 162(m) of the Code, in which case the payment shall be made upon the earliest date at which the Plan Administrator reasonably anticipates that the deduction of the payment of the amount will not be limited or eliminated by the application of Section 162(m) of the Code. Any such delay shall apply to all scheduled payments to such Participant. For purposes of this Section 12.8, any reference to a term or event (including any authority or right of the Company, other Employer or a Participant) being “permitted” under or being in “compliance” with Section 409A means that the term or event will not cause the Participant to be deemed to be in constructive receipt of compensation prior to the payment date or to be liable for payment of interest or a penalty tax under Section 409A.
