RSU
Grants to Executive Officers
As
previously disclosed in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-277476), as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 6, 2024 and as amended, and the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-8
(File No. 333-281048), as filed with the SEC on July 20, 2026 (the “S-8”), in connection with the business combination between
Willow Lane Acquisition Corp. and Boost Run Holdings, LLC (the “Business Combination”), the Company reserved 9,214,301 shares
of common stock (representing approximately 15% of the Company’s outstanding common stock at the time of the Business Combination)
for issuance under the Boost Run Inc. 2026 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2026 Plan”). On September 29, 2026, the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors of Boost Run Inc. (the “Company”) approved grants of time-based restricted stock units
(“RSUs”) under the 2026 Plan to Erik Guckel, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Harilaos Georgakopoulos, the Company’s
Chief Operating Officer, and Daniel Gormley-Rahn, the Company’s Chief Technology Officer. These individuals are executive officers
of the Company, and the awards therefore constitute material compensatory arrangements reportable under Item 5.02(e) of Form 8-K.
Mr.
Guckel, Mr. Georgakopoulos, and Mr. Gormley-Rahn were granted 2,890,000, 300,000, and 1,400,000 RSUs, respectively (the “Executive
RSUs”). The grant-date fair values of the Executive RSUs for Mr. Guckel, Mr. Georgakopoulos, and Mr. Gormley-Rahn were approximately
$48,118,500, $4,995,000, and $23,310,000, respectively, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date
of $16.65. Forty percent (40%) of Mr. Guckel’s Executive RSUs will vest on May 15, 2027, and the remaining sixty percent (60%)
will vest in eight substantially equal quarterly installments through June 15, 2029, in each case, subject to Mr. Guckel’s continued
service through each applicable vesting date. Mr. Georgakopoulos’s Executive RSUs will vest in substantially equal annual installments
on September 29, 2027, September 29, 2028, and September 29, 2029, subject to Mr. Georgakopoulos’s continued service through each
applicable vesting date. Mr. Gormley-Rahn’s Executive RSUs will vest in nine substantially equal quarterly installments beginning
May 15, 2027 and continuing through June 15, 2029, subject to Mr. Gormley-Rahn’s continued service through each applicable vesting
date.
Mr.
Guckel serves as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. As previously disclosed in the Company’s Form S-4, Mr.
Guckel’s employment with the Company was a condition precedent to the closing of the Business Combination. The RSU award was
granted in recognition of Mr. Guckel’s outstanding leadership role related to the SPAC transaction and his extensive
responsibilities in establishing the Company’s finance function as a pre-transaction (founder) senior executive who held no founder shares. Mr. Gormley-Rahn serves as the Company’s Chief
Technology Officer. The RSU award was granted to provide additional incentive to Mr. Gormley-Rahn in connection with his leadership
over all of the Company’s GPU deployments and in preparation for him assuming expanded responsibilities within the
Company.
The
RSUs were granted pursuant to the 2026 Plan and a form of restricted stock unit award agreement (the “RSU Agreement”). Copies
of the RSU Agreements for Mr. Guckel, Mr. Georgakopoulos, and Mr. Gormley-Rahn are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3, respectively,
to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the RSUs does not purport to
be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits.
Cash
Recognition Award to Chief Operating Officer and Director
On September 29, 2026, the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company recommended, and the Board of Directors (acting through its disinterested directors)
approved, a one-time special cash recognition award in the aggregate amount of $1,000,000 (the “Cash Recognition Award”)
to Harilaos Georgakopoulos, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer and Director. Mr. Georgakopoulos recused himself from deliberation
and vote on the award. The Cash Recognition Award is a one-time special incentive award and is not granted under the Company’s
2026 Omnibus Incentive Plan.
The Cash Recognition Award is allocated
and payable in three installments as follows: (i) $500,000, payable on October 15, 2026; (ii) $300,000, payable on January 15, 2027;
and (iii) $200,000, payable on April 15, 2027 (each, a “Payment Date”). Payment of each installment is subject to Mr. Georgakopoulos’s
continued employment with the Company in good standing on the applicable Payment Date and his satisfactory performance of his duties
as Chief Operating Officer (or in another executive-level position) from the effective date of the award through each Payment Date.
If Mr. Georgakopoulos voluntarily resigns or is terminated for Cause prior to the twenty-four-month anniversary of the first
payment date, all unpaid installments will be forfeited and he will be required to repay the gross amount of any payments previously received.
If Mr. Georgakopoulos’s employment
terminates due to his death or disability, all unpaid installments will accelerate and become payable, subject to execution of a release
of claims. If the Company terminates Mr. Georgakopoulos’s employment without “Cause” (as defined in the award agreement)
during the twelve-month period following a “Change in Control” (as defined in the Company’s 2026 Omnibus Incentive
Plan), all unpaid installments will accelerate and become payable, subject to execution of a release of claims.
The Cash Recognition Award was made
pursuant to a Special Cash Recognition Award Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2026, between the Company and Mr. Georgakopoulos. A
copy of the Special Cash Recognition Award Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated
herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Cash Recognition Award does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to such exhibit.

BOOST
RUN INC.
2026 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
RESTRICTED
STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
THIS
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made effective as of September 29, 2026, (the “Grant
Date”) by and between Boost Run Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Erik Guckel (the “Participant”),
pursuant to the Boost Run Inc. 2026 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as in effect and as amended from time to time (the “Plan”).
Capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Plan.
WHEREAS,
the Company has adopted the Plan in order to grant Awards from time to time to certain key Employees, Directors and Consultants of the
Company and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; and
WHEREAS,
the Participant is an Eligible Recipient as contemplated by the Plan, and the Administrator has determined that it is in the interest
of the Company to make this grant to the Participant.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
1.
Grant and Vesting of Restricted Stock Units.
(a) Shares
Subject to Award. As of the Grant Date, the Participant will be credited with 2,890,000 Restricted Stock Units. Each Restricted
Stock Unit is a notional amount that represents the right to receive one Share of Common Stock of the Company, subject to the terms
and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, if and when the Restricted Stock Unit vests.
(b) Vesting.
Forty percent (40%) of the Restricted Stock Units shall vest on May 15, 2027. The remaining sixty percent (60%) of the Restricted
Stock Units shall vest in eight (8) substantially equal installments on each of September 15, 2027, December 15, 2027, March 15,
2028, June 15, 2028, September 15, 2028, December 15, 2028, March 15, 2029, and June 15, 2029, in each case, subject to the
Participant’s continuous service with the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof, as applicable, whether as an Employee,
Director, or Consultant (“Service”), from the Grant Date through each applicable vesting date. For purposes of
this Agreement, the Vesting Start Date shall be September 29, 2026. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Restricted
Stock Unit shall vest prior to the date on which a registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to the Shares has been filed. For
the avoidance of doubt, if the Participant incurs a change in status from an Employee to a Non-Employee Director or a Consultant of
the Company or an Affiliate before the Restricted Stock Units have vested, such change in status alone shall not constitute a
termination of Service for purposes of this Award.
2. Rights as a Stockholder; Dividend Equivalents.
(a) The Participant will not be entitled to vote in respect of any Restricted Stock Unit or
underlying Share, whether vested or unvested.
(b) If the Company declares a cash dividend on its Shares, then, on the payment date of the
dividend, the Participant will be credited with dividend equivalents equal to the amount of cash dividend per Share multiplied by
the number of Restricted Stock Units credited to the Participant through the record date. The dollar amount credited to the
Participant under the preceding sentence will be credited to an account (“Account”) established for the
Participant for bookkeeping purposes only on the books of the Company. The balance in the Account will be subject to the same terms
regarding vesting and forfeiture as the Participant’s Restricted Stock Units awarded under this Agreement, and will be paid in
cash in a single sum at the time that the Shares associated with the Participant’s Restricted Stock Units are delivered (or
forfeited at the time that the Participant’s Restricted Stock Units are forfeited).
3. Termination
of Service; Breach of Restrictive Covenants.
(a) Unvested
Portion Forfeited. Any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that is not vested as of the date of the Participant’s termination
of Service shall terminate and be cancelled immediately upon such termination, except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.
(b) Termination
without Cause or for Good Reason.
(i) In
the event that the Participant’s Service is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason (if applicable)
outside of the twelve (12) month period following a Change in Control, the Participant shall vest in the greater of (i) fifty percent
(50%) of the Restricted Stock Units unvested as of the date of termination or (ii) a pro-rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units based
on the number of days of Service through the date of termination divided by the number of days in the applicable vesting period in which
the termination occurs. Any remaining unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited and cancelled as of the date of termination.
(ii) In
the event that the Participant’s Service is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason (if applicable)
within the twelve (12) month period following a Change in Control, the Participant shall vest in any Restricted Stock Units that are
outstanding and unvested as of the date of termination.
(c) Termination
due to Death or Disability. The Restricted Stock Units shall vest in full upon the Participant’s death or Disability prior
to the termination of the Participant’s Service.
(d) Termination
for Cause; Breach of Restrictive Covenants. In the event that (i) the Participant’s Service terminates for Cause (as defined
in the Plan) or (ii) the Participant breaches any written restrictive covenant agreement with the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate
thereof (whether prior to or after the termination of the Participant’s Service), all Restricted Stock Units held by the Participant,
whether vested or unvested, shall terminate and be cancelled immediately upon such termination of Service.
2
(e) Other
Termination of Service. In the event that the Participant’s Service terminates for any reason other than as described in Section
3(b), 3(c) or 3(d), any then-vested Restricted Stock Units shall remain outstanding and shall be paid out in accordance with their terms.
All unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited immediately upon such termination of Service, and the Participant shall have no
further rights with respect to such forfeited Restricted Stock Units.
4.
Settlement. Once a Restricted Stock Unit vests, the Participant will be entitled to receive a Share in its place, subject
to the satisfaction of applicable tax obligations, including, without limitation, the Company’s right to effect a mandatory “sell
to cover” transaction on the Participant’s behalf in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement and Section 16 of the Plan.
Delivery of the Share will be made as soon as administratively feasible following the vesting of the associated Restricted Stock Unit,
but in no case later than two and a half (2.5) months following the year in which the applicable vesting date occurred. Shares will be
credited to an account established for the benefit of the Participant with the Company’s administrative agent. The Participant
will have full legal and beneficial ownership of the Shares at that time.
5. Tax
Withholding; Authorization of Mandatory Sale to Satisfy Tax Obligation. The Company or any Affiliate thereof shall, in accordance
with Section 16 of the Plan, have the power to withhold, or require the Participant to remit to the Company or such Affiliate thereof,
cash or Shares that are distributable to the Participant with respect to the Restricted Stock Units in an amount sufficient to satisfy
the federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements, both domestic and foreign, relating to such transaction, and the Company
or such Affiliate thereof may defer payment of cash or issuance of Shares until such requirements are satisfied; provided, however, that
such amount may not exceed the maximum statutory withholding rate. Without limiting the foregoing or the Company’s rights to satisfy
withholding obligations as described under Section 16 of the Plan, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the
Participant hereby authorizes the Company to satisfy the applicable tax withholding or remittance requirements by arranging, on the Participant’s
behalf, a mandatory sale (a “sell to cover” transaction) of a number of Shares issuable in respect of the Restricted Stock
Units sufficient to satisfy such applicable tax obligation and collecting and retaining the proceeds of such mandatory sale for remittance
to the appropriate tax or other governmental authority.
6. Nontransferability
of Awards. The Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, encumbered or otherwise
alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or, on such terms and conditions as the Administrator
shall establish, to a permitted transferee.
7. Beneficiary
Designation. The Participant may from time to time name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively)
by whom any right under the Plan and this Agreement is to be exercised in case of his or her death. Each designation will revoke all
prior designations by the Participant, shall be in a form reasonably prescribed by the Administrator, and will be effective only when
filed by the Participant in writing with the Administrator during his or her lifetime.
8. Adjustments.
The Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units may be adjusted in any manner as contemplated by Section 5 of the Plan.
3
9. Requirements
of Law. The issuance of Shares following vesting of the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules
and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. No Shares shall
be issued upon vesting of any portion of the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder if such issuance would result in a violation of
applicable law, including the U.S. federal securities laws and any applicable state or foreign securities laws.
10. No
Guarantee of Continued Service. Nothing in the Plan or in this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of
the Company or an Affiliate thereof to terminate the Participant’s Service at any time or confer upon the Participant any right
to continued Service.
11. No
Rights as a Stockholder. Except as provided in Section 2 above or as otherwise required by law, the Participant shall not have
any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder prior to the date on which
he or she is recorded as the holder of those Shares on the records of the Company.
12. Interpretation;
Construction. Any determination or interpretation by the Administrator under or pursuant to this Agreement shall be final and
conclusive on all persons affected hereby. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, in the event of a conflict between any
term of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.
13. Amendments.
The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, alter or amend this Agreement and the terms and
conditions of any unvested Restricted Stock Unit, in whole or in part, including without limitation, amending the criteria for vesting
set forth in Section 1 hereof or substituting alternative vesting criteria; provided that such alteration, amendment, suspension or termination
shall not adversely alter or impair the rights of the Participant to the Restricted Stock Unit without the Participant’s consent.
The Company shall give written notice to the Participant of any such alteration or amendment of this Agreement as promptly as practicable
after the adoption thereof. This Agreement may also be amended by a writing signed by both the Company and the Participant.
14. Erroneously
Awarded Compensation. Notwithstanding any provision of the plan or in this Agreement to the contrary and in consideration of
receiving this Award, the Restricted Stock Units (including the gross amount of any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit the Participant
actually or constructively receives upon receipt of this Award, or the receipt or resale of any shares of Common Stock underlying this
Award or any other amounts or benefits as required by applicable law) shall be forfeited and/or clawed back, as determined by the Administrator,
upon the breach by the Participant of any restrictive covenants, or obligations of nondisparagement or confidentiality owed by the Participant
to the Company or any of its Affiliates; such Award or the receipt or resale of any shares of Common Stock underlying this Award, and
any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit thereto shall also be subject to any compensation recovery and/or recoupment policy that
may be adopted and amended from time to time by the Company to comply with applicable law, including, without limitation, Section 10D
of the Exchange Act, any applicable rules or regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any national securities
exchange or national securities association on which Shares may be traded, or to comport with good corporate governance practices, as
such policies may be amended from time to time. Any such policy may subject a Participant’s Award and amounts paid or realized
with respect to Awards granted hereunder to reduction, cancelation, forfeiture or recoupment if certain specified events or wrongful
conduct occur, including an accounting restatement due to the Company’s material noncompliance with financial reporting regulations
or other events or wrongful conduct specified in any such clawback policy, as may be amended from time to time.
4
15. Miscellaneous.
(a) Volume
Trading Limitation. The Participant agrees that, without the prior written approval of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer
or other authorized officer, the Participant shall not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, more than five
percent (5%) of the total trading volume of the Company’s common stock on any trading day, as reported on the principal securities
exchange on which the stock is listed (the “Volume Limitation”). This restriction applies to all equity securities
of the Company held by the Participant, including Shares issued pursuant to this Award, and covers all forms of direct or indirect disposition,
including sales through brokerage accounts, transfers by or through affiliated entities, and any derivative or hedging transactions that
are economically equivalent to a sale. The Volume Limitation is intended to promote orderly trading and may be modified, suspended, or
terminated by the Company at any time, in its sole discretion. This restriction is in addition to any limitations imposed by applicable
law, Company policies (including insider trading and disclosure policies), lock-up arrangements, or any other agreement to which the
Participant is subject. A violation of this restriction may result in disciplinary action by the Company, including, without limitation,
forfeiture of Shares, cancellation of unvested Awards, or other remedies, subject to applicable law. Nothing herein guarantees that a
market for the Company’s securities will exist or that the Participant will be able to sell such securities at any particular time
or price.
(b) Notices.
All notices, requests, demands, letters, waivers and other communications required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall
be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered personally, emailed, mailed (certified or registered mail with

nor will any such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.

the Participant, including, but not limited to, any written restrictive covenant agreements).
(g) Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any party or circumstances shall be determined by any
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid and unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of
such provision to such person or circumstances other than those to which it is so determined to be invalid and unenforceable, shall not
be affected thereby, and each provision hereof shall be validated and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
(h) Code
Section 409A Compliance. The Restricted Stock Units are intended to be exempt from or comply with the requirements of Code Section
409A and this Agreement shall be interpreted accordingly. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, to the extent that the Administrator
determines that any portion of the Restricted Stock Units granted under this Agreement is subject to Code Section 409A and fails to comply
with the requirements of Code Section 409A, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan or in this Agreement, the
Administrator reserves the right to amend, restructure, terminate or replace such portion of the Restricted Stock Units in order to cause
such portion of the Restricted Stock Units to either not be subject to Code Section 409A or to comply with the applicable provisions
of such section.
(i) Applicable
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware, regardless of the law
that might be applied under principles of conflict of laws.

on or prior to sixty (60) days from the Grant Date. By executing this Agreement, the Participant hereby consents to the delivery of information

Date”) by and between Boost Run Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Harilaos Georgakopoulos
(the “Participant”), pursuant to the Boost Run Inc. 2026 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as in effect and as amended from
time to time (the “Plan”). Capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms
in the Plan.
WHEREAS,
the Company has adopted the Plan in order to grant Awards from time to time to certain key Employees, Directors and Consultants of the
Company and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; and
WHEREAS,
the Participant is an Eligible Recipient as contemplated by the Plan, and the Administrator has determined that it is in the interest
of the Company to make this grant to the Participant.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
1. Grant
and Vesting of Restricted Stock Units.
(a) Shares
Subject to Award. As of the Grant Date, the Participant will be credited with 300,000 Restricted Stock Units. Each Restricted Stock
Unit is a notional amount that represents the right to receive one Share of Common Stock of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions
of the Plan and this Agreement, if and when the Restricted Stock Unit vests.
(b) Vesting.
The Restricted Stock Units shall vest in substantially equal annual installments on each of the first three (3) anniversaries of the
Vesting Start Date, in each case, subject to the Participant’s continuous service with the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate
thereof, as applicable, whether as an Employee, Director, or Consultant (“Service”), from the Grant Date through each
applicable vesting date. For purposes of this Agreement, the Vesting Start Date shall be September 29, 2026. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, no Restricted Stock Unit shall vest prior to the date on which a registration statement on Form S-8 with respect
to the Shares has been filed. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Participant incurs a change in status from an Employee to a Non-Employee
Director or a Consultant of the Company or an Affiliate before the Restricted Stock Units have vested, such change in status alone shall
not constitute a termination of Service for purposes of this Award.
2. Rights
as a Stockholder; Dividend Equivalents.
(a) The
Participant will not be entitled to vote in respect of any Restricted Stock Unit or underlying Share, whether vested or unvested.
(b) If
the Company declares a cash dividend on its Shares, then, on the payment date of the dividend, the Participant will be credited with
dividend equivalents equal to the amount of cash dividend per Share multiplied by the number of Restricted Stock Units credited to the
Participant through the record date. The dollar amount credited to the Participant under the preceding sentence will be credited to an
account (“Account”) established for the Participant for bookkeeping purposes only on the books of the Company. The
balance in the Account will be subject to the same terms regarding vesting and forfeiture as the Participant’s Restricted Stock
Units awarded under this Agreement, and will be paid in cash in a single sum at the time that the Shares associated with the Participant’s
Restricted Stock Units are delivered (or forfeited at the time that the Participant’s Restricted Stock Units are forfeited).
3. Termination
of Service; Breach of Restrictive Covenants.
(a) Unvested
Portion Forfeited. Any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that is not vested as of the date of the Participant’s termination
of Service shall terminate and be cancelled immediately upon such termination, except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.
(b) Termination
without Cause or for Good Reason.
(i) In
the event that the Participant’s Service is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason (if applicable)
outside of the twelve (12) month period following a Change in Control, the Participant shall vest in a pro-rata portion of the Restricted
Stock Units based on the number of days of Service through the date of termination divided by the number of days in the applicable vesting
period in which the termination occurs. Any remaining unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited and cancelled as of the date
of termination.
(ii) In
the event that the Participant’s Service is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason (if applicable)
within the twelve (12) month period following a Change in Control, the Participant shall vest in any Restricted Stock Units that are
outstanding and unvested as of the date of termination.
(c) Termination
due to Death or Disability. The Restricted Stock Units shall vest in full upon the Participant’s death or Disability prior
to the termination of the Participant’s Service.
(d) Termination
for Cause; Breach of Restrictive Covenants. In the event that (i) the Participant’s Service terminates for Cause (as defined
in the Plan) or (ii) the Participant breaches any written restrictive covenant agreement with the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate
thereof (whether prior to or after the termination of the Participant’s Service), all Restricted Stock Units held by the Participant,
whether vested or unvested, shall terminate and be cancelled immediately upon such termination of Service.
(e) Other
Termination of Service. In the event that the Participant’s Service terminates for any reason other than as described in Section
3(b), 3(c) or 3(d), any then-vested Restricted Stock Units shall remain outstanding and shall be paid out in accordance with their terms.
All unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited immediately upon such termination of Service, and the Participant shall have no
further rights with respect to such forfeited Restricted Stock Units.
2
4.
Settlement. Once a Restricted Stock Unit vests, the Participant will be entitled to receive a Share in its place, subject
to the satisfaction of applicable tax obligations, including, without limitation, the Company’s right to effect a mandatory “sell
to cover” transaction on the Participant’s behalf in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement and Section 16 of the Plan.
Delivery of the Share will be made as soon as administratively feasible following the vesting of the associated Restricted Stock Unit,
but in no case later than two and a half (2.5) months following the year in which the applicable vesting date occurred. Shares will be
credited to an account established for the benefit of the Participant with the Company’s administrative agent. The Participant
will have full legal and beneficial ownership of the Shares at that time.
5. Tax
Withholding; Authorization of Mandatory Sale to Satisfy Tax Obligation. The Company or any Affiliate thereof shall, in accordance
with Section 16 of the Plan, have the power to withhold, or require the Participant to remit to the Company or such Affiliate thereof,
cash or Shares that are distributable to the Participant with respect to the Restricted Stock Units in an amount sufficient to satisfy
the federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements, both domestic and foreign, relating to such transaction, and the Company
or such Affiliate thereof may defer payment of cash or issuance of Shares until such requirements are satisfied; provided, however, that
such amount may not exceed the maximum statutory withholding rate. Without limiting the foregoing or the Company’s rights to satisfy
withholding obligations as described under Section 16 of the Plan, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the
Participant hereby authorizes the Company to satisfy the applicable tax withholding or remittance requirements by arranging, on the Participant’s
behalf, a mandatory sale (a “sell to cover” transaction) of a number of Shares issuable in respect of the Restricted Stock
Units sufficient to satisfy such applicable tax obligation and collecting and retaining the proceeds of such mandatory sale for remittance
to the appropriate tax or other governmental authority.
6. Nontransferability
of Awards. The Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, encumbered or otherwise
alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or, on such terms and conditions as the Administrator
shall establish, to a permitted transferee.
7. Beneficiary
Designation. The Participant may from time to time name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively)
by whom any right under the Plan and this Agreement is to be exercised in case of his or her death. Each designation will revoke all
prior designations by the Participant, shall be in a form reasonably prescribed by the Administrator, and will be effective only when
filed by the Participant in writing with the Administrator during his or her lifetime.
8. Adjustments.
The Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units may be adjusted in any manner as contemplated by Section 5 of the Plan.
3
9. Requirements
of Law. The issuance of Shares following vesting of the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules
and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. No Shares shall
be issued upon vesting of any portion of the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder if such issuance would result in a violation of
applicable law, including the U.S. federal securities laws and any applicable state or foreign securities laws.
10. No
Guarantee of Continued Service. Nothing in the Plan or in this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of
the Company or an Affiliate thereof to terminate the Participant’s Service at any time or confer upon the Participant any right
to continued Service.
11. No
Rights as a Stockholder. Except as provided in Section 2 above or as otherwise required by law, the Participant shall not have
any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder prior to the date on which
he or she is recorded as the holder of those Shares on the records of the Company.
12. Interpretation;
Construction. Any determination or interpretation by the Administrator under or pursuant to this Agreement shall be final and
conclusive on all persons affected hereby. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, in the event of a conflict between any
term of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.
13. Amendments.
The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, alter or amend this Agreement and the terms and
conditions of any unvested Restricted Stock Unit, in whole or in part, including without limitation, amending the criteria for vesting
set forth in Section 1 hereof or substituting alternative vesting criteria; provided that such alteration, amendment, suspension or termination
shall not adversely alter or impair the rights of the Participant to the Restricted Stock Unit without the Participant’s consent.
The Company shall give written notice to the Participant of any such alteration or amendment of this Agreement as promptly as practicable
after the adoption thereof. This Agreement may also be amended by a writing signed by both the Company and the Participant.
14. Erroneously
Awarded Compensation. Notwithstanding any provision of the plan or in this Agreement to the contrary and in consideration of
receiving this Award, the Restricted Stock Units (including the gross amount of any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit the Participant
actually or constructively receives upon receipt of this Award, or the receipt or resale of any shares of Common Stock underlying this
Award or any other amounts or benefits as required by applicable law) shall be forfeited and/or clawed back, as determined by the Administrator,
upon the breach by the Participant of any restrictive covenants, or obligations of nondisparagement or confidentiality owed by the Participant
to the Company or any of its Affiliates; such Award or the receipt or resale of any shares of Common Stock underlying this Award, and
any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit thereto shall also be subject to any compensation recovery and/or recoupment policy that
may be adopted and amended from time to time by the Company to comply with applicable law, including, without limitation, Section 10D
of the Exchange Act, any applicable rules or regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any national securities
exchange or national securities association on which Shares may be traded, or to comport with good corporate governance practices, as
such policies may be amended from time to time. Any such policy may subject a Participant’s Award and amounts paid or realized
with respect to Awards granted hereunder to reduction, cancelation, forfeiture or recoupment if certain specified events or wrongful
conduct occur, including an accounting restatement due to the Company’s material noncompliance with financial reporting regulations
or other events or wrongful conduct specified in any such clawback policy, as may be amended from time to time.
4
15. Miscellaneous.
(a) Volume
Trading Limitation. The Participant agrees that, without the prior written approval of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer
or other authorized officer, the Participant shall not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, more than five
percent (5%) of the total trading volume of the Company’s common stock on any trading day, as reported on the principal securities
exchange on which the stock is listed (the “Volume Limitation”). This restriction applies to all equity securities
of the Company held by the Participant, including Shares issued pursuant to this Award, and covers all forms of direct or indirect disposition,
including sales through brokerage accounts, transfers by or through affiliated entities, and any derivative or hedging transactions that
are economically equivalent to a sale. The Volume Limitation is intended to promote orderly trading and may be modified, suspended, or
terminated by the Company at any time, in its sole discretion. This restriction is in addition to any limitations imposed by applicable
law, Company policies (including insider trading and disclosure policies), lock-up arrangements, or any other agreement to which the
Participant is subject. A violation of this restriction may result in disciplinary action by the Company, including, without limitation,
forfeiture of Shares, cancellation of unvested Awards, or other remedies, subject to applicable law. Nothing herein guarantees that a
market for the Company’s securities will exist or that the Participant will be able to sell such securities at any particular time
or price.

OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
RESTRICTED
STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
THIS
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made effective as of September 29, 2026, (the “Grant
Date”) by and between Boost Run Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Daniel Gormley-Rahn (the
“Participant”), pursuant to the Boost Run Inc. 2026 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as in effect and as amended from time
to time (the “Plan”). Capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in
the Plan.
WHEREAS,
the Company has adopted the Plan in order to grant Awards from time to time to certain key Employees, Directors and Consultants of the
Company and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; and
WHEREAS,
the Participant is an Eligible Recipient as contemplated by the Plan, and the Administrator has determined that it is in the interest
of the Company to make this grant to the Participant.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
1.
Grant and Vesting of Restricted Stock Units.
(a)
Shares Subject to Award. As of the Grant Date, the Participant will be credited with 1,400,000 Restricted Stock Units. Each Restricted
Stock Unit is a notional amount that represents the right to receive one Share of Common Stock of the Company, subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, if and when the Restricted Stock Unit vests.
(b)
Vesting. The Restricted Stock Units shall vest in nine (9) substantially equal installments on each of May 15, 2027, September
15, 2027, December 15, 2027, March 15, 2028, June 15, 2028, September 15, 2028, December 15, 2028, March 15, 2029, and June 15, 2029,
in each case, subject to the Participant’s continuous service with the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof, as applicable,
whether as an Employee, Director, or Consultant (“Service”), from the Grant Date through each applicable vesting date.
For purposes of this Agreement, the Vesting Start Date shall be September 29, 2026. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
no Restricted Stock Unit shall vest prior to the date on which a registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to the Shares has been
filed. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Participant incurs a change in status from an Employee to a Non-Employee Director or a Consultant
of the Company or an Affiliate before the Restricted Stock Units have vested, such change in status alone shall not constitute a termination
of Service for purposes of this Award.
2.
Rights as a Stockholder; Dividend Equivalents.
(a)
The Participant will not be entitled to vote in respect of any Restricted Stock Unit or underlying Share, whether vested or unvested.
(b)
If the Company declares a cash dividend on its Shares, then, on the payment date of the dividend, the Participant will be credited with
dividend equivalents equal to the amount of cash dividend per Share multiplied by the number of Restricted Stock Units credited to the
Participant through the record date. The dollar amount credited to the Participant under the preceding sentence will be credited to an
account (“Account”) established for the Participant for bookkeeping purposes only on the books of the Company. The
balance in the Account will be subject to the same terms regarding vesting and forfeiture as the Participant’s Restricted Stock
Units awarded under this Agreement, and will be paid in cash in a single sum at the time that the Shares associated with the Participant’s
Restricted Stock Units are delivered (or forfeited at the time that the Participant’s Restricted Stock Units are forfeited).
3.
Termination of Service; Breach of Restrictive Covenants.
(a)
Unvested Portion Forfeited. Any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that is not vested as of the date of the Participant’s
termination of Service shall terminate and be cancelled immediately upon such termination, except as otherwise provided in this Section
3.
(b)
Termination without Cause or for Good Reason.
(i)
In the event that the Participant’s Service is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason (if
applicable) outside of the twelve (12) month period following a Change in Control, the Participant shall vest in a pro-rata portion of
the Restricted Stock Units based on the number of days of Service through the date of termination divided by the number of days in the
applicable vesting period in which the termination occurs. Any remaining unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited and cancelled
as of the date of termination.
(ii)
In the event that the Participant’s Service is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason (if
applicable) within the twelve (12) month period following a Change in Control, the Participant shall vest in any Restricted Stock Units
that are outstanding and unvested as of the date of termination.
(c)
Termination due to Death or Disability. The Restricted Stock Units shall vest in full upon the Participant’s death or Disability
prior to the termination of the Participant’s Service.
(d)
Termination for Cause; Breach of Restrictive Covenants. In the event that (i) the Participant’s Service terminates for Cause
(as defined in the Plan) or (ii) the Participant breaches any written restrictive covenant agreement with the Company or a Subsidiary
or Affiliate thereof (whether prior to or after the termination of the Participant’s Service), all Restricted Stock Units held
by the Participant, whether vested or unvested, shall terminate and be cancelled immediately upon such termination of Service.
2
(e)
Other Termination of Service. In the event that the Participant’s Service terminates for any reason other than as described
in Section 3(b), 3(c) or 3(d), any then-vested Restricted Stock Units shall remain outstanding and shall be paid out in accordance with
their terms. All unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited immediately upon such termination of Service, and the Participant
shall have no further rights with respect to such forfeited Restricted Stock Units.
4.
Settlement. Once a Restricted Stock Unit vests, the Participant will be entitled to receive a Share in its place, subject
to the satisfaction of applicable tax obligations, including, without limitation, the Company’s right to effect a mandatory “sell
to cover” transaction on the Participant’s behalf in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement and Section 16 of the Plan.
Delivery of the Share will be made as soon as administratively feasible following the vesting of the associated Restricted Stock Unit,
but in no case later than two and a half (2.5) months following the year in which the applicable vesting date occurred. Shares will be
credited to an account established for the benefit of the Participant with the Company’s administrative agent. The Participant
will have full legal and beneficial ownership of the Shares at that time.
5.
Tax Withholding; Authorization of Mandatory Sale to Satisfy Tax Obligation. The Company or any Affiliate thereof shall, in
accordance with Section 16 of the Plan, have the power to withhold, or require the Participant to remit to the Company or such Affiliate
thereof, cash or Shares that are distributable to the Participant with respect to the Restricted Stock Units in an amount sufficient
to satisfy the federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements, both domestic and foreign, relating to such transaction, and the
Company or such Affiliate thereof may defer payment of cash or issuance of Shares until such requirements are satisfied; provided, however,
that such amount may not exceed the maximum statutory withholding rate. Without limiting the foregoing or the Company’s rights
to satisfy withholding obligations as described under Section 16 of the Plan, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
the Participant hereby authorizes the Company to satisfy the applicable tax withholding or remittance requirements by arranging, on the
Participant’s behalf, a mandatory sale (a “sell to cover” transaction) of a number of Shares issuable in respect of
the Restricted Stock Units sufficient to satisfy such applicable tax obligation and collecting and retaining the proceeds of such mandatory
sale for remittance to the appropriate tax or other governmental authority.
6.
Nontransferability of Awards. The Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned,
encumbered or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or, on such terms and
conditions as the Administrator shall establish, to a permitted transferee.
7.
Beneficiary Designation. The Participant may from time to time name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently
or successively) by whom any right under the Plan and this Agreement is to be exercised in case of his or her death. Each designation
will revoke all prior designations by the Participant, shall be in a form reasonably prescribed by the Administrator, and will be effective
only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Administrator during his or her lifetime.
8.
Adjustments. The Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units may be adjusted in any manner as contemplated by Section 5 of
the Plan.
3
9.
Requirements of Law. The issuance of Shares following vesting of the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to all applicable
laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.
No Shares shall be issued upon vesting of any portion of the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder if such issuance would result in
a violation of applicable law, including the U.S. federal securities laws and any applicable state or foreign securities laws.
10.
No Guarantee of Continued Service. Nothing in the Plan or in this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right
of the Company or an Affiliate thereof to terminate the Participant’s Service at any time or confer upon the Participant any right
to continued Service.
11.
No Rights as a Stockholder. Except as provided in Section 2 above or as otherwise required by law, the Participant shall not
have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder prior to the date
on which he or she is recorded as the holder of those Shares on the records of the Company.
12.
Interpretation; Construction. Any determination or interpretation by the Administrator under or pursuant to this Agreement
shall be final and conclusive on all persons affected hereby. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, in the event of a conflict
between any term of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.
13.
Amendments. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, alter or amend this Agreement
and the terms and conditions of any unvested Restricted Stock Unit, in whole or in part, including without limitation, amending the criteria
for vesting set forth in Section 1 hereof or substituting alternative vesting criteria; provided that such alteration, amendment, suspension
or termination shall not adversely alter or impair the rights of the Participant to the Restricted Stock Unit without the Participant’s
consent. The Company shall give written notice to the Participant of any such alteration or amendment of this Agreement as promptly as
practicable after the adoption thereof. This Agreement may also be amended by a writing signed by both the Company and the Participant.
14.
Erroneously Awarded Compensation. Notwithstanding any provision of the plan or in this Agreement to the contrary and in consideration
of receiving this Award, the Restricted Stock Units (including the gross amount of any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit the
Participant actually or constructively receives upon receipt of this Award, or the receipt or resale of any shares of Common Stock underlying
this Award or any other amounts or benefits as required by applicable law) shall be forfeited and/or clawed back, as determined by the
Administrator, upon the breach by the Participant of any restrictive covenants, or obligations of nondisparagement or confidentiality
owed by the Participant to the Company or any of its Affiliates; such Award or the receipt or resale of any shares of Common Stock underlying
this Award, and any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit thereto shall also be subject to any compensation recovery and/or recoupment
policy that may be adopted and amended from time to time by the Company to comply with applicable law, including, without limitation,
Section 10D of the Exchange Act, any applicable rules or regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any national
securities exchange or national securities association on which Shares may be traded, or to comport with good corporate governance practices,
as such policies may be amended from time to time. Any such policy may subject a Participant’s Award and amounts paid or realized
with respect to Awards granted hereunder to reduction, cancelation, forfeiture or recoupment if certain specified events or wrongful
conduct occur, including an accounting restatement due to the Company’s material noncompliance with financial reporting regulations
or other events or wrongful conduct specified in any such clawback policy, as may be amended from time to time.
4
15.
Miscellaneous.
(a)
Volume Trading Limitation. The Participant agrees that, without the prior written approval of the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer or other authorized officer, the Participant shall not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, more
than five percent (5%) of the total trading volume of the Company’s common stock on any trading day, as reported on the principal
securities exchange on which the stock is listed (the “Volume Limitation”). This restriction applies to all equity
securities of the Company held by the Participant, including Shares issued pursuant to this Award, and covers all forms of direct or
indirect disposition, including sales through brokerage accounts, transfers by or through affiliated entities, and any derivative or
hedging transactions that are economically equivalent to a sale. The Volume Limitation is intended to promote orderly trading and may
be modified, suspended, or terminated by the Company at any time, in its sole discretion. This restriction is in addition to any limitations
imposed by applicable law, Company policies (including insider trading and disclosure policies), lock-up arrangements, or any other agreement
to which the Participant is subject. A violation of this restriction may result in disciplinary action by the Company, including, without
limitation, forfeiture of Shares, cancellation of unvested Awards, or other remedies, subject to applicable law. Nothing herein guarantees
that a market for the Company’s securities will exist or that the Participant will be able to sell such securities at any particular
time or price.
(b)
Notices. All notices, requests, demands, letters, waivers and other communications required or permitted to be given under this
Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered personally, emailed, mailed (certified or registered

4.
PERFORMANCE AND EMPLOYMENT CONDITIONS
4.1
Conditions to Payment. The Executive’s right to receive each Installment is expressly conditioned upon the Executive:
(a)
being actively employed by the Company in good standing (meaning, without limitation, that the Executive has not given or received notice
of termination of employment and no event or circumstance constituting Cause has occurred and is continuing) on the applicable Payment
Date; and
(b)
satisfactorily performing his duties as Chief Operating Officer or in another Executive-Level Position, as determined in good faith by
the Board (excluding the Executive), continuously from the Effective Date through the applicable Payment Date.
4.2
Role Reduction. If a Role Reduction occurs at any time prior to a Payment Date, all Installments that have not been paid as of
the effective date of such Role Reduction shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled without consideration. A voluntary Role Reduction
shall be treated as a voluntary resignation for purposes of Section 5.
5.
EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
5.1
Voluntary Resignation. If the Executive voluntarily resigns from the Company for any reason, including stepping down to a non-executive,
part-time, or non-officer role, before the twenty-four (24)-month anniversary of the First Payment Date, all unpaid Installments shall
be immediately forfeited and cancelled without consideration, and the Executive shall repay to the Company, in a lump sum in cash within
thirty (30) days after the date of resignation, the full gross amount of all Award payments previously received under this Agreement.
If the Executive voluntarily resigns on or after the twenty-four (24)-month anniversary of the First Payment Date, all unpaid Installments
shall be forfeited and cancelled without consideration, and the Executive shall have no repayment obligation.
3
5.2
Termination for Cause. If the Company terminates the Executive’s employment for Cause, all unpaid Installments shall be
immediately forfeited and cancelled without consideration, and the Executive shall repay to the Company, in a lump sum in cash within
thirty (30) days after the date of termination, the full gross amount of all Award payments previously received under this Agreement.
5.3
Termination Without Cause Outside CIC Protection Period. If the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause
other than during the CIC Protection Period, the Executive shall retain all Award payments previously received, and all unpaid Installments
shall be forfeited and cancelled without consideration. There shall be no acceleration or proration of any unpaid Installment.
5.4
Death or Disability. If the Executive’s employment terminates due to his death or Disability, all unpaid Installments shall
accelerate and become immediately payable in a single cash lump sum within thirty (30) days following the date of the Executive’s
death or Disability (or such later date as required by Section 409A). The accelerated payment is conditioned on the execution and non-revocation
of a general release of claims in favor of the Company, in a form provided by the Company, by the Executive’s estate or legal representative
within sixty (60) days following the date of the Executive’s death or Disability. If the release is not executed and irrevocable
within that sixty (60)-day period, the accelerated payment shall be forfeited. The Executive (or his estate) shall retain all Award payments
previously received, and no repayment obligation shall apply to those amounts.
5.5
Termination Without Cause Within CIC Protection Period. If, during the CIC Protection Period, the Company or its successor terminates
the Executive’s employment without Cause, all unpaid Installments shall immediately accelerate and become payable in full within
thirty (30) days following the Termination Date, or such later date as required by Section 409A. The accelerated payment is conditioned
on the Executive’s execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of the Company, in a form provided by the
Company, within sixty (60) days following the Termination Date. If the Executive does not execute the release and allow it to become
irrevocable within that sixty (60)-day period, the accelerated payment shall be forfeited. The Executive shall retain all Award payments
previously received, and no repayment obligation shall apply to those amounts.
6.
COMPANY CLAWBACK POLICY
Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Awards, and any amounts paid hereunder, shall be subject to recoupment, forfeiture, and/or
repayment to the extent required by (a) the Company’s Policy for the Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation or any other
compensation recovery policy adopted by the Company, as in effect from time to time, including any policy adopted to comply with Section
10D of the Exchange Act, Rule 10D-1 thereunder, and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5608, as enacted pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act, and (b) any other applicable law, rule, regulation, or listing standard (collectively, the “Clawback
Policy”). Any recovery under the Clawback Policy shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the repayment obligations set
forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2, provided that no amount shall be recovered more than once.
4
7.
SECTION 409A
The
payments under this Agreement are intended to qualify as short-term deferrals under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), and each Installment
shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. References to termination of employment or similar terms that result
in a payment subject to Section 409A mean separation from service under Section 409A. If the Executive is a specified employee and any
payment is subject to Section 409A on account of separation from service, that payment shall be delayed until six (6) months after separation
from service or, if earlier, the Executive’s death, and shall then be paid in a lump sum. The Company makes no guarantee regarding
the tax treatment of the Awards under Section 409A or any other applicable law, and the Executive is solely responsible for his own tax
obligations. This Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in a manner consistent with Section 409A.
8.
TAX WITHHOLDING
The
Company shall withhold from each Installment, and from any other payment under this Agreement, all federal, state, local, and non-U.S.
income, employment, payroll, and other taxes and amounts required to be withheld under applicable law. The Executive acknowledges that
he has had the opportunity to consult with his own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the Awards.
9.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
9.1
No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement confers upon the Executive any right to continued employment with
the Company or interferes with the right of the Company or the Executive to terminate the Executive’s employment at any time, with
or without Cause, subject to the terms of any written employment agreement between the Executive and the Company.
9.2
Unfunded Obligation. The Company’s obligations under this Agreement are unfunded and unsecured, and the Executive shall
have no greater rights than a general unsecured creditor of the Company.
9.3
Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware,
without regard to conflict-of-laws principles that would require the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. Each Party irrevocably

a duly authorized officer of the Company (other than the Executive) acting with the approval of the Board or the Committee.
5

recent home address on file with the Company, with a copy by email to hg@boostrun.com.
9.8
Waiver. No failure or delay by either Party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right preclude any other or further exercise thereof.
9.9
Construction. Headings are for convenience only and shall not affect interpretation. The words “include,” “includes,”
and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” This Agreement shall be construed as
if drafted jointly by the Parties.
9.10
Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original
and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Signatures delivered by facsimile, .pdf, or other electronic
