Restated 2019 Equity and Incentive Plan, as amended, and the applicable unit award agreement(s) (collectively, the “Plan”). At grant, you will receive a separate memorandum and unit award agreement outlining the award, and requiring your acknowledgement and acceptance.

Although your job duties, title, compensation and benefits, as well as the Company's personnel policies and procedures, may change from time to time at the Company’s discretion, the "at-will" nature of your employment may only be changed by a written employment agreement signed by you and the CEO which expressly states the intention to modify the at-will nature of your employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, your relinquishment of the Interim CFO position as contemplated above due to the Company’s hiring of a permanent CFO shall not be considered a termination or break in service for any equity or other Company plans.
I look forward to your continued success as a member of the WEX Leadership Team.
Sincerely,
