Base Salary. Your annual base salary will be $400,000. Your salary will be payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of the Company and subject to adjustment from time to time by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) at its discretion.

Short Term Incentive (STI). You will be eligible for a discretionary cash bonus, with an initial target bonus opportunity of 40% of your annual base salary, in the amount of $160,000 (on a pro rata basis) that is in line with Company standards and based on, but not limited to, a combination of both Company and personal performance.

These RSUs will be subject to the terms and conditions of the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “Agreement”). Subject to the terms of the Plan and the Agreement, the RSUs will vest in equal annual portions over a 3-year period, provided that the vesting of your RSU grant is contingent upon your continued employment at the Company, and a portion of this RSU grant may be subject to forfeiture.

Inducement Equity Grant. As part of your employment offer with Bridger Aerospace, you will be granted a one-time equity award with a grant date fair value of $500,000 (the “Inducement Grant”). The Inducement Grant will be made in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The RSUs will be granted on or as soon as reasonably practicable following your start date. The RSUs will vest over a one-year period, with 50% vesting on your start date and the remaining 50% vesting on the one-year anniversary, in each case subject to your continued employment with the Company through each vesting date.

All vesting is subject to continued employment and will cease upon termination, except as otherwise provided under the terms of the award agreement or any applicable severance or change-in-control arrangement.
