On December 22, 2021, SOC Telemed, Inc. (the "Company") entered into employment agreements and, severance and change of control severance agreements with Christopher M. Gallagher, M.D. and David Mikula to provide for the terms of their employment with and separation from the Company.

Christopher M. Gallagher, M.D.

The Employment Agreement, dated December 20, 2021, between the Company and Dr. Gallagher provides for at-will employment during an initial three-year term commencing on November 1, 2021, which may be automatically renewed for one-year terms thereafter. The agreement establishes Dr. Gallagher's initial annual base salary of $450,000, and provides that it will be increased to $500,000 effective January 1, 2022. The agreement also provides for eligibility for an annual target cash incentive bonus of up to 50% of his annual base salary for 2021 (100% for periods after 2022) upon the achievement of certain performance goals determined by the Board of Directors (the "Board") or the Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Compensation Committee"), and to participate in the employee benefit plans maintained by the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, Dr. Gallagher was granted under the Company's 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan") time-based restricted stock units for 1,080,000 shares of Class A common stock, with a four-year vesting schedule subject to his continuous service, and performance-based restricted stock units for 720,000 shares of Class A common stock to vest in three equal installments on December 5 of each of 2022, 2023 and 2024, provided that the applicable stock-price performance goal has been achieved by such date (and, if not, on the date the applicable performance goal is subsequently achieved), subject to his continued employment on each applicable vesting date and the achievement of the applicable performance criteria. The agreement also entitles Dr. Gallagher to receive in 2023 a mix of time- and performance-based restricted stock units pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan with a target value based on the product of (x) 50% multiplied by (y) the appropriate grant date fair value of such award as determined in the Compensation Committee of the Board's sole discretion, subject to Dr. Gallagher's continued employment at the date of the grant on each applicable vesting date and the achievement of the applicable performance criteria.

The Company also entered into a severance and change in control agreement with Dr. Gallagher, dated December 22, 2021, and effective November 1, 2021. Pursuant to the severance and change in control agreement, if Dr. Gallagher's employment is terminated by the Company without "Cause" or Dr. Gallagher resigns for "Good Reason" in each case not in connection with the a "Change in Control" of the Company (each term as defined in the severance and change in control agreement), Dr. Gallagher will be entitled to receive (i) twelve-months' continuation of his annual base salary, (ii) any cash incentive compensation bonus earned with respect to the immediately preceding fiscal year, which remains unpaid on the termination date, (iii) a lump sum severance payment equal to the cash incentive compensation bonus he would have received in respect of the fiscal year in which his termination occurs, determined based on actual performance levels and prorated, and (iv) up to twelve months of COBRA coverage at the Company's sole expense. If Dr. Gallagher's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or if Dr. Gallagher resigns for Good Reason in each case during the one month period prior to (and in connection with) or the one year period following a Change in Control of the Company, Dr. Gallagher will be entitled to receive (i) a lump sum severance payment equal to one times his annual base salary, (ii) any cash incentive compensation bonus earned with respect to the immediately preceding fiscal year, which remains unpaid on the termination date, (iii) up to one year of COBRA coverage at the Company's sole expense, (iv) a lump sum severance payment equal to the cash incentive compensation bonus he would have received in respect of the fiscal year in which his termination occurs, determined based on target performance levels and not prorated, and (v) full acceleration of vesting of all time-based equity awards. If Dr. Gallagher's employment terminates due to his death or disability, then in lieu of the above he or his estate will receive (i) any cash incentive compensation bonus earned with respect to the immediately preceding fiscal year, which remains unpaid, (ii) a lump sum severance payment equal to the cash incentive compensation bonus he would have been entitled to receive in respect of the fiscal year in which his termination occurs, determined based on target performance levels and prorated, and (iii) an extended exercise period of up to one year with respect to any vested stock options held as of his separation date. The severance payments and benefits described above are each contingent upon Dr. Gallagher's delivery of a general release of claims in favor of the Company, compliance with non-solicitation and non-competition restrictions each lasting for one year following a separation for any reason, and compliance with indefinite confidentiality and non-disparagement obligations following a separation for any reason.

If Mr. Mikula's employment terminates due to his death or disability, then in lieu of the above he or his estate will receive (i) any cash incentive compensation bonus earned with respect to the immediately preceding fiscal year, which remains unpaid on the termination date, (ii) a lump sum severance payment equal to the cash incentive compensation bonus he would have been entitled to receive in respect of the fiscal year in which his termination occurs, determined based on target performance levels and prorated, and (iii) an extended exercise period of up to one year with respect to any vested stock options held as of his separation date. The severance payments and benefits described above are each contingent upon Mr. Mikula's delivery of a general release of claims in favor of the Company, compliance with non-solicitation and non-competition restrictions each lasting for one year following a separation for any reason, and compliance with indefinite confidentiality and non-disparagement obligations following a separation for any reason.
