You expressly acknowledge and agree to the following:

(a)

That you promptly will return to the Company all Company documents (and any copies) and property, and that you will abide by any and all common law and/or statutory obligations relating to protection and non-disclosure of the Company’s trade secrets and/or confidential and proprietary documents and information. Further, notwithstanding your confidentiality and nondisclosure obligations, you are hereby advised as follows pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act: “An individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (A) is made (i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) 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. An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of 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 (A) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (B) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.”

You understand that you do not need the prior authorization of the Company to make any such reports or disclosures and that you are not required to notify the Company that you have made such reports or disclosures.

(d) That all information relating in any way to the negotiation of this Separation Agreement shall be held confidential by you and shall not be publicized or disclosed to any person (other than an immediate family member, legal counsel or financial advisor, provided that any such individual to whom disclosure is made agrees to be bound by these confidentiality obligations), business entity or government agency (except as mandated by state or federal law), except that nothing in this paragraph shall prohibit you from participating in an investigation with a state or federal agency if requested by the agency to do so.

(e) This Section does not in any way restrict or impede you from disclosing the underlying facts or circumstances regarding conduct that you reasonably believe to be illegal discrimination, harassment, retaliation, a wage and hour violation, or sexual assault, or that is recognized as against a clear mandate of public policy, the existence of a settlement involving such conduct, or exercising protected rights to the extent that such rights cannot be waived by agreement or from complying with any applicable law or regulation or a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized government agency, provided that such compliance does not exceed that required by the law, regulation, or order.

5. Your Release of Claims.

(a)          Release.  In consideration of the covenants set forth herein, and more particularly the benefits provided to you, and other good and valuable consideration, you and your respective agents, heirs, legatees, successors and assigns (collectively hereinafter “you”), hereby unconditionally and irrevocably release, remise, and forever discharge the Company, and persons acting by, though, under or in concert with the Company of and from any and all actions, causes of actions, suits, debts, charges, complaints, claims, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, damages, and expenses (including attorney fees and costs actually incurred), of any nature whatsoever, in law or equity (collectively “Claims”), which you had, now have, or hereafter may have against the Company from the beginning of time through the date on which you execute this Separation Agreement (the “Execution Date”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing waiver and release of claims, you specifically waive and release the Company from any Claim arising from or related to your employment relationship with the Company or the termination thereof including, without limitation:

(i) Claims under any federal, state (including, without limitation, Massachusetts) or local discrimination, fair employment practices or other employment related statute, regulation or executive order (as they may have been amended through the Execution Date) prohibiting discrimination or harassment based upon any protected status including, without limitation, age, race, national origin, gender, marital status, disability, veteran status or sexual orientation.  Without limitation, specifically included in this

paragraph are any Claims arising under the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the Civil Rights Acts of 1866 and 1871, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Massachusetts Fair Employment Practices Act (also known as Chapter 151B), the Equal Pay Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act and any similar statute;

(ii) Claims under any other federal, state (including, without limitation, Massachusetts) or local employment-related statute, regulation or executive order (as they may have been amended through the Execution Date) relating to wages, hours or any other terms and conditions of employment, including, without limitation, the Massachusetts Payment of Wages Law (Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 149, §§ 148, 150), Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 149 in its entirety and Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 151 in its entirety (including, without limitation, the sections concerning payment of wages, minimum wage and overtime), the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, the National Labor Relations Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 and any similar statute. You specifically acknowledge that you are waiving any Claims for unpaid wages under these and other statutes, regulations and executive orders;

(iii) Claims under any federal, state (including, without limitation, Massachusetts) or local common law theory including, without limitation, wrongful discharge, breach of express or implied contract, promissory estoppel, unjust enrichment, breach of a covenant of good faith and fair dealing, violation of public policy, defamation, interference with contractual relations, intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy, misrepresentation, deceit, fraud or negligence;

(iv) Claims under any federal, state (including, without limitation, Massachusetts) or local securities law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any similar statute; and

(v) Claims arising under federal, state or local law.

(b)        Release Limitations; Participation in Agency Proceedings.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this section does not:

Release the Company from any obligation expressly set forth in this Agreement.         

ii.

Release the Company from any obligation to indemnify you pursuant to any agreement between you and the Company or pursuant to the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of the Company, or your right to coverage under any officer and director liability insurance policy.

iii.

Waive or release any legal claims which you may not waive or release by law, including obligations under workers’ compensation laws.

(iii)        Prohibit you from challenging the validity of this release under federal law, from filing a charge or complaint of employment-related discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) or similar state agency, or from participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by the EEOC or similar state agency. 

Your waiver and release, however, are intended to be a complete bar to any recovery or personal benefit by or to you with respect to any claim (except those which cannot be released under law), including those

raised through a charge with the EEOC.  Accordingly, nothing in this section shall be deemed to limit the Company’s right to seek immediate dismissal of such charge or complaint on the basis that your signing of this Agreement constitutes a full release of any individual rights under the federal discrimination laws, or to seek restitution to the extent permitted by law of the economic benefits provided to you under this Agreement in the event you successfully challenge the validity of this release and prevail in any claim under the federal discrimination laws.

(c)        Acknowledgement. You acknowledge and agree that, but for providing this waiver and release, you would not be receiving the benefits provided to you under the terms of this Agreement.

(d) OWBPA Review and Rescission Period. You explicitly acknowledge that, because you are over forty (40) years of age, you have specific rights under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”) and Older Workers Benefits Protection Act (“OWBPA”), which prohibit discrimination on the basis of age. It is Company’s desire and intent to make certain that you fully understand the provisions and effects of this Separation Agreement, and specifically Section 5, which includes a release of claims under the ADEA and OWBPA. To that end, you have been encouraged and given the opportunity to consult with legal counsel for the purpose of reviewing the terms of this Separation Agreement, and have been provided certain additional information required by the ADEA and OWBPA. Consistent with the provisions of the ADEA and OWBPA, the Company also is providing you with twenty one (21) days in which to consider and accept the terms of this Separation Agreement by signing below and returning it to the Company. You agree that any changes to this agreement, whether or not material, shall not restart this twenty one (21) day period. In addition, you may rescind your assent to this Separation Agreement within seven (7) days after you sign it. To do so, you must deliver a notice of rescission to the Company, addressed to General Counsel, Bradford Gay, hand delivered, via electronic mail to Bradford.Gay@amwell.com, or postmarked within the seven (7) day period and sent by certified mail, return receipt requested.

You acknowledge and agree, however, that the Company does not guarantee the tax treatment or tax consequences associated with any payment or benefit arising under this Agreement, including, without limitation, to consequences related to Section 409A, and in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest, or other expenses that may be incurred by you on account of non-compliance with Section 409A. In the event any payments or benefits are deemed by the IRS to be non-compliant, this Agreement, at your option, shall be modified to the extent practicable, so as to make it compliant by altering the payments or benefits, or the timing of their receipt, provided that no such modification shall increase the Company’s obligations hereunder.

7. Entire Agreement / Modification/Waiver / Choice of Law / Enforceability. You acknowledge and agree that with the exception of Sections 10 through 16 of your American Well Corporation Employment Agreement dated August 26, 2020 which remain in full force and effect, this Separation Agreement supersedes any and all other prior or contemporaneous oral and/or written agreements between you and the Company, and together sets forth the entire Agreement between you and the Company. No variations or modifications hereof shall be deemed valid unless reduced to writing and signed by the parties hereto. The failure of the Company to seek enforcement of any provision of this Separation Agreement in any instance or for any period of time shall not be construed as a waiver of such provision or of the Company’s right to seek enforcement of such provision in the future. This Separation Agreement shall be deemed to have been made in Massachusetts, shall take effect as an instrument under seal within Massachusetts, and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Massachusetts, without giving effect to conflict of law principles. You agree that any action, demand, claim or counterclaim relating to the terms and provisions of this Separation Agreement, or to its breach, shall be commenced in Massachusetts in a court of competent jurisdiction, and you further acknowledge that venue

for such actions shall lie exclusively in Massachusetts and that material witnesses and documents would be located in Massachusetts. Both parties hereby waive and renounce in advance any right to a trial by jury in connection with such legal action. The provisions of this Separation Agreement are severable, and if for any reason any part hereof shall be found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall be enforced in full.

By executing this Separation Agreement, you are acknowledging that you have been afforded sufficient time to understand the terms and effects of this Agreement, that your agreements and obligations hereunder are made voluntarily, knowingly and without duress, and that neither the Company nor its agents or representatives have made any representations inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement.

The parties agree that the last act necessary to render this Separation Agreement effective is for the Company to sign the Agreement, and the Agreement may be signed on one or more copies, each of which when signed will be deemed to be an original, and all of which together will constitute one and the same Separation Agreement.

If the foregoing correctly sets forth our understanding, please sign, date and return the enclosed copy of this Separation Agreement to Bradford Gay.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Executive shall not have criminal or civil liability under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (A) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (ii) 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. In addition and without limiting the preceding sentence, if Executive files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, Executive may disclose the trade secret to Executive’s attorney and may use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if Executive (X) files any document containing the trade secret under seal and (Y) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

(e) In connection with Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive will not use any confidential or proprietary information Executive may have obtained in connection with employment with any prior employer.

(f) Executive recognizes that the Company received and will receive confidential or proprietary information from third parties, subject to a duty on the Company's part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes.

If disclosure of any such Prior Invention would cause Executive to violate any prior confidentiality agreement, Executive understands that Executive is not to list such Prior Inventions in Exhibit B but is only to disclose where indicated a cursory name for each such Prior Invention, a listing of each person or entity to whom it belongs, and the fact that full disclosure as to such Prior Inventions has not been made for that reason (it being understood that, if no Invention or disclosure is provided in Exhibit B, Executive hereby represents and warrants that there are no Prior Inventions).

The Company may not assign or delegate any rights or obligations hereunder except to a successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, as applicable. The term “the Company” as used herein shall mean a corporation or other entity acquiring all or substantially all the assets and business of the Company, as the case may be, (including this Agreement) whether by operation of law or otherwise.

Neither this Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder shall be assignable or transferable by Executive, Executive’s beneficiaries, or legal representatives, except by will or by the, laws of descent and distribution.

The Company shall be entitled to withhold the amount, if any, of all taxes of any applicable jurisdiction required to be withheld by an employer with respect to any amount paid to Executive hereunder. The Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall make all determinations as to whether it is obligated to withhold any taxes hereunder and the amount hereof.

(d) Release of Claims. The termination benefits described in Sections 8(b), 8(c), 8(d), and 8(e) hereof (the “Total Payments”) shall be conditioned on Executive delivering to the Company, and failing to revoke, a signed release of claims reasonably acceptable to the Company within fifty (50) days following Executive’s termination date. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the timing of Executive’s execution of the release, directly or indirectly, result in Executive designating the calendar year of payment, and, to the extent required by Section 409A, if a payment that is subject to execution of the release could be made in more than one taxable year, payment shall be made in the later taxable year. Where applicable, references to Executive in this Section 18(d) shall refer to Executive’s representative or estate.

(e) Parachute Payments. To the extent consistent with applicable law, the payment of any amounts or the provision of any benefits under this Agreement or any other agreement including, without limitation, the Total Payments, will be reduced or adjusted to avoid triggering the excise tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Required Reduction”), if such adjustment would result in the provision of a greater total benefit, on a net after-tax basis (after taking into account any applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes and the Excise Tax), to Executive. In the case of a reduction in the Total Payments, the Total Payments will be reduced in the following order: (i) by reducing any cash payments to be made to Executive (excluding any cash payment with respect to the acceleration of equity-based compensation); (ii) by canceling the acceleration of vesting of any outstanding equity-based compensation awards; and (iii) by reducing any other non-cash benefits provided to Executive. In the case of the reductions to be made pursuant to each of the above-mentioned clauses, the payment and/or benefit amounts to be reduced, and the acceleration of vesting to be cancelled, shall be reduced or cancelled in the inverse order of their originally scheduled dates of payment or vesting, as applicable, and shall be so reduced: (x) only to the extent that the payment and/or benefit otherwise to be paid, or the vesting of the award that otherwise would be accelerated, would be treated as a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(2)(A); and (y) only to the extent necessary to achieve the Required Reduction. All determinations made under this Section 18(e) (as well as with respect to any payments provided to any other “disqualified individual” of the Company within the meaning of Section 280G(c) of the Code) shall be made by a nationally recognized accounting or consulting firm as selected by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations to Executive and the Company. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Company. All determinations by the Accounting Firm shall be binding on Executive and the Company absent manifest error.

(f) Modification. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived, or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and the Company. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by the other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreement or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by any party which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the terms of this Agreement shall be modified to the extent required to meet the provisions of any applicable law (whether Israeli or other) or other law applicable to the employment arrangements between Executive and the Company. Any delay in providing benefits or payments or any failure to provide a benefit or payment shall not in and of itself constitute a breach of this Agreement as a result of applicable law; provided, however, that the Company shall provide economically equivalent payments or benefits to Executive to the extent permitted by law as soon as practicable after such benefits or payments are due. Any request or requirement that Executive repay compensation that is required under the first sentence of this Section 18(g), or pursuant to a Company policy or policy of American Well Corporation that is applicable to other executive officers of the Company or American Well Corporation and that is designed to advance the legitimate corporate governance objectives of the Company or American Well Corporation, shall not in and of itself constitute a breach of this Agreement.

In the event that the Company reasonably determines that Executive’s duties hereunder may conflict with an agreement or arrangement to which Executive is bound, Executive shall be required to cease engaging in any such activities, duties or responsibilities (including providing supervisory services over certain subsets of the Company’s business operations) and the Company will take steps to restrict Executive’s access to, and participation in, any such activities, until the Company determines that such conflict ceases to exist. Any actions taken by the Company under this Section 18(i) to restrict or limit Executive’s access to information or provision of services shall not constitute Good Reason for purposes of Section 6(e) hereof.

(i) Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.
