benefits (collectively, the “Severance Benefits”):

a. Severance Pay. The Company shall pay Rodriguez severance pay in the amount of
$541,333.16, less standard withholdings and authorized deductions (the

continue health and dental insurance for himself and his eligible dependents
after the Severance Date, as may be required or authorized by law under the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”). Within five
(5) business days following January 1, 2012, the Company shall pay to Rodriguez
an amount equal to the cost of Rodriguez’s premiums charged or that will/would

reasonably equivalent medical coverage for Rodriguez (and, if applicable,
Rodriguez’s eligible dependents) as in effect immediately prior to the Severance
Date, for a period commencing on the Severance Date and ending on the 7-month
anniversary of the Severance Date.

c. Accelerated Vesting and Extended Exercise Period: Rodriguez shall vest in any
portion of each equity award held by Rodriguez as set forth in Exhibit C that is
scheduled to vest on or within twelve (12) months after the Severance Date, and,
with respect to any such award that is a stock option, Rodriguez shall have a
period of twelve (12) months to exercise the vested portion of such stock option
(including any portion that is accelerated pursuant to this provision), provided
that such stock option shall remain subject to earlier termination at the end of
its maximum term or in connection with the change in control of the Company or
similar event as provided in the applicable option documentation. any portion of
Rodriguez’s equity awards that are not vested after giving effect to the
foregoing acceleration provision shall terminate on the Severance Date.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

d. Mitigation: Rodriguez will not be required to mitigate damages or the amount
of any payment provided under this Agreement by seeking other employment or
otherwise, nor will the amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement
be reduced by any compensation earned by Rodriguez as a result of employment by
another employer or otherwise.

e. Effect of Breach of Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Section 4, if Rodriguez breaches his obligations under the Confidentiality
Agreement and/or this Agreement at any time, from and after the date of such
breach, (x) Rodriguez will no longer be entitled to, and the Company will no
longer be obligated to pay, any remaining unpaid portion of any benefits
provided in this Section 4, and (y) Rodriguez will no longer be entitled to, and
the Company will no longer be obligated to make available to Rodriguez or his
spouse or dependents any group health, life or other similar insurance plans or
any payment in respect of such plans; provided, however, that in no event shall
Rodriguez be entitled to benefits pursuant to this Section 4 of less than
$5,000, which amount the parties agree is good and adequate consideration, in
and of itself, for Rodriguez’s release contemplated in this Agreement.

5. Termination Of Contractual Relationship: Rodriguez and the Company agree that
except as arising out of this Agreement, Sections 5.7, 6-18 and 20-23 of the
Employment Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, each equity award agreement
set forth on Exhibit C hereto as amended hereby (the “Equity Agreements”), and
the Indemnification Agreement (collectively, the “Ongoing Contracts”), there are
no further contractual relationships between Rodriguez and any member of the
Company Group following the Severance Date and Rodriguez will have no right to
reinstatement with the Company or any member of the Company Group. Nothing
herein shall relieve Rodriguez of his obligations not to use or disclose the
Company’s trade secrets and Confidential Information, whether under the
Confidentiality Agreement, the Employment Agreement or otherwise, including
information learned by him as an officer and/or director of the Company or any
member of the Company Group.

6. No Other Compensation or Benefits: Except as expressly set forth herein in
Sections 3 and 4 of this Agreement, Rodriguez acknowledges that he will not
receive, and is not entitled to receive, any additional compensation, severance
or benefits after the Severance Date. Rodriguez agrees to submit any business
expenses that he incurred in the scope of his employment within fifteen
(15) days following the Severance Date. The Company will reimburse Rodriguez for
all outstanding business expenses in accordance with the Company’s expense
reimbursement policy.

7. No Admission of Liability Or Wrongdoing: This Agreement does not constitute
an admission by the Company or Rodriguez of any violation of federal, state or
local law, ordinance or regulation or of any violation of the Company’s policies
or procedures or of any liability or wrongdoing whatsoever. Neither this
Agreement nor anything in this Agreement shall be construed to be or shall be
admissible in any proceeding as evidence of liability or wrongdoing by the
Company or Rodriguez. This Agreement may be introduced, however, in any
proceeding to enforce the Agreement.

this Agreement and which, if known or suspected at the time of executing this
Agreement, may have materially affected this settlement. Nevertheless, Rodriguez
hereby waives any right, claim or cause of action that might arise as a result
of such different or additional claims or facts. Rodriguez acknowledges that he
understands the significance and consequence of such release and such specific
waiver of SECTION 1542.

execute this Agreement prior to the expiration of such 21-day period, he will
execute the Acknowledgment and Waiver attached hereto as Exhibit B;

d. Nothing in this Agreement prevents or precludes Rodriguez from challenging or
seeking a determination in good faith of the validity of this waiver under the
ADEA, nor does it impose any condition precedent, penalties or costs from doing
so, unless specifically authorized by federal law; and

e. Rodriguez is hereby informed that he has seven (7) days following the date he
executes the Agreement in which to revoke it, and this Agreement will become

 

5

interests in the mobile phones and laptop computer provided for Rodriguez’s use
in connection with Rodriguez’s employment, and Rodriguez shall be permitted to
retain such mobile phone and laptop computer. The mobile phones and laptop
computer shall be provided to Rodriguez in “as is” condition and without
warranty or guarantee, effective as of the Severance Date, provided that, on or
before five days following the Severance Date, Rodriguez must deliver such

(to the nearest extent reasonably possible) the intended benefit payable to
Rodriguez.

thirty (30) days, after the date of the Rodriguez’s death). The provisions of
this Section 25(b) shall only apply if, and to the extent, required to avoid the
imputation of any tax, penalty or interest pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.

26. Notices: All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or
