	Re:	 Employment with PowerSchool Group LLC 



Dear Devendra: 
 We are pleased to extend an offer
to you to join our team. This letter, along with the attached Exhibits A and B, will confirm the terms of employment with PowerSchool Group LLC (as such company’s name may change from time to time and such company’s successors and assigns,
the “Company”). The terms of our offer are as follows: 
 1. You will be the Chief Technology Officer of the Company,
reporting to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”). In this capacity, you will have the responsibilities and duties consistent with such position. 

2. Your starting base salary will be $310,000 per year, less deductions and withholdings required by law or authorized by you, and will be
subject to review annually for any increases or decreases (the “Base Salary”); provided, however, that any decreases shall not be greater than ten percent (10%) of your then current base salary, which decrease would only be
implemented in conjunction with a general decrease affecting the executive management team. Your Base Salary will be paid by the Company in regular installments in accordance with the Company’s general payroll practices as in effect from time
to time. 
 With respect to your bonus opportunities for each bonus period beginning on and after January l, 2018, you will be eligible to
receive a bonus of up to 40% of your Base Salary (the “Bonus”). The Bonus will be awarded at the sole discretion of the Board of Managers of the Company (the “Board”), based on the Board’s determination as to
your achievement of predetermined thresholds which may include, but are not limited to, management by objectives (“MBO”s) and financial targets such as revenue, recurring revenue, gross profit and/or EBITDA targets. In addition, you
will be eligible each year for an additional bonus of up to 20% of your Base Salary, awarded at the sole discretion of the Board, based on the Board’s determination as to your achievement of “stretch” targets. 

The bonus formulas, MBOs, performance milestones and all other elements of your bonus opportunities shall be established by the Board in its
sole discretion, and communicated in writing (including by e-mail) to you from time to time. Any bonus earned for a fiscal year shall be paid within thirty (30) days after the Board has received, reviewed
and approved the applicable fiscal year’s final audited financial statements. In any event, payment of any bonus that becomes due with respect to a fiscal year shall be paid in the calendar year following the fiscal year in which such bonus was
earned, subject, in each case, to your continued employment on the applicable payment date. 












 3. You will also be eligible to participate in regular health, dental and vision insurance
plans and other employee benefit plans established by the Company for its employees from time to time, so long as they remain generally available to the Company’s employees. 

4. Your position is currently based in Folsom, California. Your duties may involve extensive domestic and international travel. The parties
hereto acknowledge that you intend to relocate to the Folsom area. After your relocation to Folsom, the Company will supplement your salary by an amount equal to the net after-tax housing and utility expenses
you may incur in the Folsom area in an amount not to exceed $2,000 per month (“Duplicate Housing Costs”) for up to six (6) months and the Company shall reimburse you for reasonable moving and relocation expenses
(“Relocation Expenses”) in connection with your relocation to the Folsom area; provided, that the Company shall not pay you Duplicate Housing Costs or reimburse your Relocation Expenses in excess of an aggregate amount of $20,000
unless approved by the CEO in advance; provided further that these expenses shall be documented and provided further that such expenses shall not include (a) any losses (whether or not realized) incurred by you in connection with the sale of
your existing residence and (b) any broker fees and/or commissions (whether incurred in connection with the sale of your existing residence or the purchase of your new residence). In the event that you terminate your employment without Good
Reason or the Company terminates your employment for Cause, in each case, within the first twelve (12) months following your relocation to Folsom, you shall promptly, unless waived by the CEO in his/her sole discretion, remit to the Company any
Duplicate Housing Costs and Relocation Expenses for which you have been paid or reimbursed. In the event that you are entitled to any amounts from the Company upon such termination, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any amounts owed to the
Company pursuant to the foregoing may be deducted from such payments and you will timely execute any documents necessary to facilitate such deduction. 

5. You will be eligible to receive a certain amount of incentive equity (the “Incentive Equity”) of Severin Topco, LLC, an
indirect parent of the Company (as such company’s name may change from time to time and such company’s successors and assigns, “Parent”), which Incentive Equity shall be issued under Parent’s Amended and Restated
Limited Liability Company Agreement (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “LLC Agreement”) and which shall represent approximately 0.4% of the fully diluted equity interests of Parent at the time of
issuance. Incentive Equity shall be comprised of awards intended to be treated as “profits interests” for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Revenue Procedures 93-27 and 2001-43. 
 The Incentive Equity that you are eligible to receive will be subject to the terms (including,
but not limited to, the vesting terms and the participation thresholds, as the case may be) as set forth in the LLC Agreement and the grant agreement to which you will be a party (the “Grant Agreement”). Any grant of Incentive
Equity is subject to Parent’s Board of Managers’ approval and the execution of any applicable Grant Agreements. Our intent to recommend such approval is not a promise of compensation and is not intended to create any obligation on the part
of the Company or Parent. Further details on the Incentive Equity and any specific grant of Incentive Equity to you will be provided upon approval of such grant by the Board of Managers of Parent. 

Your Incentive Equity, if granted, will vest as follows, each as more fully set forth in the Grant Agreement (it being understood that such
vesting shall be subject to your continued employment by the Company through the applicable vesting event): 
 • 2/3 of the Incentive
Equity would be subject to time-based vesting over four (4) years, with 25% vesting upon the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date and an additional 1/12th of such Stock Options vesting at the end of each full three
(3) calendar month period thereafter (the vesting of any such unvested time-based Incentive Equity would be accelerated upon a change of control of Parent); and 

  
 2 













 • 1/3 of the Incentive Equity would vest if any equity
buy-out investment fund managed or controlled by Vista Equity Partners, and any of such funds’ respective portfolio companies (collectively, “Vista”) received cumulative cash
distributions or other cash proceeds, contributions and/or net sale proceeds in respect of the securities of Parent or its subsidiaries held by Vista or any loans provided to Parent or its subsidiaries by Vista (“Vista’s Return”)
such that Vista’s Return equals or exceeds three hundred percent (300%) of Vista’s total investment in Parent and its subsidiaries (whether in exchange for equity, indebtedness or otherwise) (calculated pursuant to the formula set
forth in the Grant Agreement). 
 Notwithstanding anything in the LLC Agreement, the Grant Agreement or this letter to the contrary, in the
event that such sales proceeds include non-cash consideration, the value of such non-cash consideration shall be determined by the Board of Managers of Parent in its good faith discretion in order to determine
if the above vesting thresholds have been met. If such thresholds have been met, you will receive an equal proportion of your proceeds from the sale of any equity interests of the Parent in such non-cash
consideration. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, within six (6) months following the date hereof, the Company enters
into definitive documents (a “Signing”) with respect to a Sale of the Company (as defined in the LLC Agreement) (for purposes herein, a “Transaction”), and such Transaction is actually consummated within six
(6) months following a Signing, the Incentive Equity will be forfeited for no additional consideration. 
 In the event of such a
Transaction, the following will also apply: 
 - You will be paid a transaction bonus of $500,000, payable within 30 days of the Transaction
and contingent on your continued employment with the Company (or its successor) through the applicable payment date; 
 - You will be granted
equity interests in the Company (or its successor or an applicable parent entity) with an “equity at work” value of $1.8 million (the “Successor Equity Interests”), with such valuation being determined in good faith in
accordance with your discussions prior to the date hereof with the Company and the applicable materials that you were provided in connection with such discussions; and 

- In the event that you are terminated without Cause during the twelve (12)-month period following the Transaction, the Company (or the
applicable issuing entity) will repurchase such Successor Equity Interests for the fair market value thereof (the “Repurchase Price”) and, in addition, you will be provided an additional termination bonus equal to the positive difference,
if any, between $1.5 million minus the Repurchase Price; provided, that any such termination bonus amount will be contingent upon your execution of a Release Agreement (as defined below). 

6. There are some formalities that you need to complete as a condition of your employment: 

- You must carefully consider and sign the Company’s standard “Employment and Restrictive Covenants Agreement - California”
(attached to this letter as Exhibit A). Because the Company and its affiliates are engaged in a continuous program of research, development, production and marketing in connection with their business, we wish to reiterate that
it is critical for the Company and its affiliates to preserve and protect its proprietary information and its rights in inventions. 

  
 3 













 - So that the Company has proper records of inventions that may belong to you, we ask that
you also complete Schedule 1 attached to Exhibit A. 
 - You and the Company mutually agree that any disputes that may
arise regarding your employment will be submitted to binding arbitration by the American Arbitration Association. As a condition of your employment, you will need to carefully consider and voluntarily agree to the arbitration clause set forth in
Section 14 of Exhibit A. 
 7. We also wish to remind you that, as a condition of your employment, you are expected
to abide by the Parent’s, the Company’s, and their direct and indirect subsidiaries’ policies and procedures, which policies and procedures may be amended from time to time, at the Company’s sole discretion and employees will be
notified of any amendments to such policies and procedures. 
 8. Your employment with the Company is at will. The Company may terminate your
employment at any time with or without notice, and for any reason or no reason. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in Exhibit A, you shall be entitled to terminate your employment with the Company at any time and
for any reason or no reason by giving notice in writing to the Company of not less than four (4) weeks (“Notice Period”), unless otherwise agreed to in writing by you and the Company. In the event of such notice, the Company
reserves the right, in its discretion, to give immediate effect to your resignation in lieu of requiring or allowing you to continue work throughout the Notice Period; provided that the Company pays your Base Salary in lieu of the Notice Period. You
shall continue to be an employee of the Company during the Notice Period, and thus owe to the Company the same duty of loyalty you owed it prior to giving notice of your termination. The Company may, during the Notice Period, relieve you of all of
your duties and prohibit you from entering the Company’s offices. 
 9. If the Company terminates your employment without
“Cause” or you voluntarily terminate your employment for a “Good Reason”, you will be entitled to receive a severance payment equal to six (6) months of your then applicable Base Salary and, at the sole discretion of the
Board, a pro-rated portion of any bonus that may have been earned by you during the fiscal year in which such termination occurs, less deductions and withholdings required by law or authorized by you (the
“Severance Pay”). For purposes of this section, “Cause” and “Good Reason” have the meaning set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto. The Company will not be required to pay the Severance
Pay unless (a) you execute and deliver to the Company an agreement (“Release Agreement”) in a form satisfactory to the Company releasing from all liability (other than the payments and benefits contemplated by this letter) the
Company, each member of the Company, and any of their respective past or present officers, directors, managers, employees investors, agents or affiliates, including Vista, and you do not revoke such Release Agreement during any applicable revocation
period, (b) such Release Agreement is executed and delivered (and no longer subject to revocation, if applicable) within sixty (60) days following the date of your termination of employment, and (c) you have not breached the
provisions of Sections 4 through 10 and 16 of Exhibit A, the terms of this letter or any agreement between you and the Company or the provisions of the Release Agreement. If the Release Agreement is executed and delivered and no longer
subject to revocation as provided in the preceding sentence, then the Severance Pay shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s general payroll practices at the time of termination and commencing on the sixtieth (60th) day following your
termination of employment. The first payment of Severance Pay shall include payment of all amounts that otherwise would have been due prior thereto under the terms of this letter had such payments commenced immediately upon your termination of
employment, and any payments made thereafter shall continue as provided herein. 

  
 4 













 10. You shall not make any statement that would libel, slander or disparage the Company, any
member of the Company or its affiliates or any of their respective past or present officers, directors, managers, stockholders, employees or agents. 

11. While we look forward to a long and profitable relationship, you will be an at-will employee of the
Company as described in Section 8 of this letter and Section 3 of Exhibit A. Any statements or representations to the contrary (and, indeed, any statements contradicting any provision in this letter) are, and
should be regarded by you, as ineffective. Further, your participation in any benefit program or other Company program, if any, is not to be regarded as assuring you of continuing employment for any particular period of time. 

12. Please note that because of employer regulations adopted in the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, within three (3) business
days of starting your new position you will need to present documentation establishing your identity and demonstrating that you have authorization to work in the United States. If you have questions about this requirement, which applies to U.S.
citizens and non-U.S. citizens alike, you may contact our personnel office. 
 13. It should also be
understood that all offers of employment are conditioned on the Company’s completion of a satisfactory background check, including a drug screening process. The Company reserves the right to perform background checks during the term of your
employment, subject to compliance with applicable laws. You will be required to execute forms authorizing such a background check. 

14. This letter along with its Exhibits and the documents referred to herein constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties
with respect to the subject matter of this letter, and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, including but not limited to severance, employment or similar agreements, whether oral or written, between or among you and the Company or its
predecessor with respect to the specific subject matter hereof. 
 15. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this letter and the
provisions of Exhibit A, the terms of this letter shall prevail. 
 16. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Company shall
be entitled to withhold from any amounts otherwise payable hereunder any amounts required to be withheld in respect to federal, state or local taxes. 

17. The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this letter be exempt from or comply with Code Section 409A and the
regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively “Code Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this letter shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. In no event
whatsoever shall the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on you by Code Section 409A or damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A. A termination of employment shall not be deemed to
have occurred for purposes of any provision of this letter providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of
Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this letter, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” For purposes of Code
Section 409A, your right to receive any installment payments pursuant to this letter shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate 

  
 5 













 
and distinct payments. To the extent that reimbursements or other in-kind benefits under this letter constitute “nonqualified deferred
compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A, (a) all such expenses or other reimbursements hereunder shall be made on or prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses were incurred by
you, (b) any right to such reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (c) no such reimbursement, expenses eligible for reimbursement,
or in-kind benefits provided in any taxable year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other
taxable year. Notwithstanding any other provision of this letter to the contrary, in no event shall any payment under this letter that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A be subject to
offset by any other amount unless otherwise permitted by Code Section 409A. 
 18. The effective date of employment under the terms of
this offer is expected to be on or about January 3, 2018. If you decide to accept the terms of this letter, and I hope you will, please signify your acceptance of these conditions of employment by signing and dating the enclosed copy of this
letter and its Exhibit A and returning them to me, not later than December 11, 2017. Should you have anything that you wish to discuss, please do not hesitate to contact me at ****.

 By signing this letter and Exhibit A attached hereto, you represent and warrant that you have had the
opportunity to seek the advice of independent counsel before signing and have either done so, or have freely chosen not to do so, and either way, you sign this letter voluntarily.

 EXHIBIT A 

Employment and Restrictive Covenants Agreement - California 

(See Attached) 












 EMPLOYMENT AND RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS AGREEMENT—CALIFORNIA 

This Employment and Restrictive Covenants Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made effective December 11, 2017 (the “Effective
Date”), by and between PowerSchool Group LLC (together with its affiliates and related companies, hereafter referenced as “Company”) and Devendra Singh (hereafter referenced as “Employee”). 

1. PURPOSE. In connection with Employee’s employment by the Company (the “Employment”), Employee and the
Company wish to set forth the terms and conditions under which Employee will be employed by the Company, and certain restrictions applicable to Employee as a result of the Employment with the Company. This Agreement is intended: to allow the parties
to engage in the Employment, with the Company giving Employee access to the Company’s customers, employees, and Confidential Information (as that term is defined below); to protect the Company’s business, information, and relationships
against unauthorized competition, solicitation, recruitment, use, or disclosure; and to clarify Employee’s legal rights and obligations. 

2. THE BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY. The Company is engaged in the business of investing and operating in software and
technology-enabled businesses, including a continuous program of research, development, production and marketing (collectively the “Business” of the Company). Employee acknowledges that the Company has a legitimate interest in protecting
its Confidential Information, trade secrets, customer relationships, customer goodwill, employee relationships, and the special investment and training given to Employee. 

3. “AT WILL” EMPLOYMENT OF EMPLOYEE. Employee shall perform such duties or responsibilities as assigned to
Employee from time to time. The Parties acknowledge that Employee’s employment by the Company at all times is and shall remain “at will,” and may be terminated by either Party at any time, with or without notice and with or without
cause. Employee acknowledges that but for Employee’s execution of this Agreement, Employee would not be employed by the Company. 
  

	 	a.	 Employee acknowledges that Employee’s duties shall entail Employee’s contact with the Company’s
customers to whom Employee is introduced, to which Employee is assigned, whose accounts Employee shall oversee, or for which Employee otherwise is directly or indirectly responsible. Employee further acknowledges that Employee will be given the use
of the Company’s Confidential Information. Employee acknowledges that the Company’s goodwill with its customers and customer prospects, as well as the Company’s Confidential Information, are among the most valuable assets of the
Company’s Business. Accordingly, Employee hereby agrees, acknowledges, covenants, represents and warrants that at all times during Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee will faithfully perform Employee’s duties with the
utmost loyalty to the Company, and will owe a fiduciary duty and duty of loyalty to the Company. Employee agrees that during employment, Employee will do nothing disloyal or adverse to the Company or the Company’s Business, or which creates any
conflict of interest with the Company or the Business of the Company. Employee will abide by the policies of the Company at all times during Employee’s employment, and acknowledges that the Company may unilaterally change its policies,
practices, and procedures at any time, at the sole discretion of the Company. Employee understands and acknowledges that all equipment, communication devices, physical 















	 	
property, documents, information, data bases, furniture, accessories, premises, and any other items provided to Employee while employed by Company, shall at all times remain the sole property of
the Company, and as such, Employee shall have no reasonable expectation of privacy when using such items. 

  

	 	b.	 Employee acknowledges that Employee will be afforded an investment of time, training, money, trust, exposure to
the public, or exposure to customers, vendors, suppliers, investors, joint venture partners, or other business relationships of the Company during the course of the Employment, and Employee’s position gives Employee a high level of influence or
credibility with the Company’s customers, vendors, suppliers, or other business relationships. Employee understands and acknowledges that Employee will possess specialized skills, learning, abilities, customer contacts, or customer information
by reason of working for the Company. 


  

	 	c.	 Employee acknowledges that, through Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee may customarily and
regularly solicit customers and/or prospective customers for the Company, and/or engage in making sales or obtaining orders or contracts for products or services. 



 

	 	d.	 Employee understands that the Company has specifically instructed him/her to refrain from bringing to the
Company any documents or materials or intangibles of a former employer or third party that are not in the public domain, or have not been legally transferred or licensed to the Company, or that might constitute the confidential information or trade
secrets of a prior employer. Employee agrees that when performing duties on behalf of the Company, he/she will not breach any invention assignment, proprietary information, confidentiality, noncompetition, nonsolicitation or other similar agreement
with any former employer or other party. 


 4. DUTY OF LOYALTY. Employee understands that his/her
employment and provision of services on behalf of the Company requires Employee’s undivided attention and effort. Accordingly, during Employee’s employment, Employee agrees that he/she will not, without the Company’s express prior
written consent, (i) engage in any other business activity, unless such activity is for passive investment purposes not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement and will not require Employee to render any services, (ii) be engaged or
interested, directly or indirectly, alone or with others, in any trade, business or occupation in competition with the Company, (iii) take steps, alone or with others, to engage in competition with the Company in the future, or
(iv) appropriate for Employee’s own benefit business opportunities pertaining to the Company’s Business. 
 5.
INVENTIONS 
  

	 	a.	 Prior Inventions. Attached hereto as Schedule 1 is a complete and accurate list describing all
Inventions (as defined below) which were conceived, discovered, created, invented, developed and/or reduced to practice by Employee prior to the commencement of his/her Employment that have not been legally assigned or licensed to the Company
(collectively: “Prior Inventions”). If there are no such Prior Inventions, Employee shall initial Schedule 1 to indicate Employee has no Prior Inventions to disclose. 



  
 Page 2 of 16 













 Employee acknowledges and agrees that if in the course of Employee’s employment,
Employee incorporates or causes to be incorporated into a Company product, service, process, file, system, application or program a Prior Invention, Employee will grant the Company a non-exclusive,
royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, sublicensable and assignable license to make, have made, copy, modify, make derivative works of, use, offer to sell, sell or otherwise distribute such Prior Invention as part of or in connection with
such product, process, file, system, application or program. 
  

	 	b.	 Disclosure and Assignment of Inventions. Employee agrees to promptly disclose to the Company in writing
all Inventions (as defined below) that Employee conceives, develops and/or first reduces to practice or create, either alone or jointly with others, during the period of Employee’s Employment, and for a period of three (3) months
thereafter, whether or not in the course of Employee’s Employment. Employee further assigns and agrees to assign all of Employee’s rights, title and interest in the Inventions to the Company. In the event that the Company is unable for any
reason to secure Employee’s signature to any document required to file, prosecute, register or memorialize the ownership and/or assignment of any Invention, Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company’s duly authorized
officers and agents as Employee’s agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and on Employee’s behalf and stead to (i) execute, file, prosecute, register
and/or memorialize the assignment and/or ownership of any Invention; (ii) to execute and file any documentation required for such enforcement and (iii) do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the filing, prosecution, registration,
memorialization of assignment and/or ownership of, issuance of and enforcement of any Inventions, all with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Employee. 



Employee acknowledges that he/she is not entitled to use the Inventions for Employee’s own benefit or the benefit of anyone except the
Company without written permission from the Company, and then only subject to the terms of such permission. Employee further agrees that Employee will communicate to the Company, as directed by the Company, any facts known to Employee and testify in
any legal proceedings, sign all lawful papers, make all rightful oaths, execute all divisionals, continuations, continuations-in-part, foreign counterparts, or reissue
applications, all assignments, all registration applications and all other instruments or papers to carry into full force and effect, the assignment, transfer and conveyance hereby made or to be made and generally do everything possible for title to
the Inventions to be clearly and exclusively held by the Company as directed by the Company. 
 For purposes of this Agreement,
“Inventions” means, without limitation, any and all formulas, algorithms, processes, techniques, concepts, designs, developments, technology, ideas, patentable and unpatentable inventions and discoveries, copyrights and works of authorship
in any media now known or hereafter invented (including computer programs, source code, object code, hardware, firmware, software, mask work, applications, files, internet site content, databases and compilations, documentation and related items)
patents, trade and service marks, 

  
 Page 3 of 16 













 
logos, trade dress, corporate names and other source indicators and the good will of any business symbolized thereby, trade secrets, know-how, confidential
and proprietary information, documents, analyses, research and lists (including current and potential customer and user lists) and all applications and registrations and recordings, improvements and licenses that (i) relate in any manner,
whether at the time of conception, design or reduction to practice, to the Company’s Business or its actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development; (ii) result from any work performed by Employee on behalf of the Company; or
(iii) result from the use of the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, Confidential Information or Trade Secrets. 
 Employee
recognizes that Inventions or proprietary information relating to Employee’s activities while working for the Company, and conceived, reduced to practice, created, derived, developed, or made by Employee, alone or with others, within three
(3) months after termination of Employee’s employment may have been conceived, reduced to practice, created, derived, developed, or made, as applicable, in significant part while Employee was employed by the Company. Accordingly, Employee
agrees that such Inventions and proprietary information shall be presumed to have been conceived, reduced to practice, created, derived, developed, or made, as applicable, during Employee’s employment with the Company and are to be assigned to
the Company pursuant to this Agreement and applicable law unless and until Employee has established the contrary by clear and convincing evidence. 
  

	 	c.	 Work for Hire. Employee acknowledges and agrees that any copyrightable works prepared by Employee within
the scope of Employee’s employment are “works made for hire” under the Copyright Act and that the Company will be considered the author and owner of such copyrightable works. Any copyrightable works the Company specially commissions
from Employee while Employee is employed also shall be deemed a work made for hire under the Copyright Act and if for any reason such work cannot be so designated as a work made for hire, Employee agrees to and hereby assigns to the Company, as
directed by the Company, all right, title and interest in and to said work(s). Employee further agrees to and hereby grants the Company, as directed by the Company, a non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable,
perpetual, worldwide, sublicensable and assignable license to make, have made, copy, modify, make derivative works of, use, publicly perform, display or otherwise distribute any copyrightable works Employee creates during Employee’s Employment.



  

	 	d.	 Assignment of Other Rights. In addition to the foregoing assignment of Inventions to the Company,
Employee hereby irrevocably transfers and assigns to the Company: (i) all worldwide patents, patent applications, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights in any Inventions; and (ii) any and all
“Moral Rights” (as defined below) that Employee may have in or with respect to any Inventions. Employee also hereby forever waives and agrees never to assert any and all Moral Rights Employee may have in or with respect to any Inventions,
even after termination of Employee’s work on behalf of the Company. “Moral Rights” mean any rights to claim authorship of any Inventions, to object to or prevent the 




  
 Page 4 of 16 














	 	
modification of any Inventions, or to withdraw from circulation or control the publication or distribution of any Inventions, and any similar right, existing under applicable judicial or
statutory law of any country in the world, or under any treaty, regardless of whether or not such right is denominated or generally referred to as a “moral right.” 


 

	 	e.	 Applicability to Past Activities. To the extent Employee has been engaged to provide services by the
Company or its predecessor for a period of time before the effective date of this Agreement (the “Prior Engagement Period”), Employee agrees that if and to the extent that, during the Prior Engagement Period: (i) Employee received
access to any information from or on behalf of the Company that would have been proprietary information if Employee had received access to such information during the period of Employee’s Employment with the Company under this Agreement; or
(ii) Employee conceived, created, authored, invented, developed or reduced to practice any item, including any intellectual property rights with respect thereto, that would have been an Invention if conceived, created, authored, invented,
developed or reduced to practice during the period of Employee’s Employment with the Company under this Agreement; then any such information shall be deemed proprietary information hereunder and any such item shall be deemed an Invention
hereunder, and this Agreement shall apply to such information or item as if conceived, created, authored, invented, developed or reduced to practice under this Agreement. 



 

	 	f.	 Employee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the
disclosure of a trade secret that—(A) is made—(i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a
suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. 


  

	 	g.	 Nothing in this Agreement is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for
disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b). Accordingly, the parties to this Agreement have the right to disclose in confidence trade secrets to federal, state, and local government officials, or to an
attorney, for the sole purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law. The parties also have the right to disclose trade secrets in a document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, but only if the filing is made under seal and
protected from public disclosure. 


  

	 	h.	 Assignment Exception – California Labor Code § 2870 



Section 2870 of the California Labor Code exempts from this assignment provision any invention as to which Employee can prove the
following: 
  

	 	i.	 It was developed entirely on Employee’s own time; and 



  
 Page 5 of 16 














	 	ii.	 No equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret of the Company or any of its affiliated entities was used in
its development; and 


  

	 	iii.	 It neither 


  

	 	1.	 relates at the time of its conception or reduction to practice to the business of the Company or to the
Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research and development; nor 


  

	 	2.	 results from any work performed by Employee for the Company. 



The provisions of this Agreement requiring assignment to the Company do not apply to any invention which qualifies fully under the provisions
of Section 2870 of the California Labor Code. Employee will advise the Company promptly in writing of any inventions, original works of authorship, developments, improvements or trade secrets that Employee believes meet the criteria in (i),
(ii), and (iii) above; and Employee will at that time provide to the Company in writing all evidence necessary to substantiate that belief. Employee understands that the Company will keep in confidence and will not disclose to third parties
without Employee’s consent any confidential information disclosed in writing to the Company relating to inventions that qualify fully under the provisions of Section 2870 of the California Labor Code. 

6. NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT. 
  

	 	a.	 Employee expressly agrees that, throughout the term of Employee’s Employment with the Company and at all
times following the termination of Employee’s Employment from the Company, for so long as the information remains confidential, Employee will not use or disclose any Confidential Information disclosed to Employee by the Company, other than for
the purpose to carry out the Employment for the benefit of the Company (but in all cases preserving confidentiality by following the Company’s policies and obtaining appropriate non-disclosure
agreements). Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, use or disclose any Confidential Information to third parties, nor permit the use by or disclosure of Confidential Information by third parties. Employee agrees to take all reasonable measures
to protect the secrecy of and avoid disclosure or use of Confidential Information in order to prevent it from falling into the public domain or into the possession of any Competing Business or any persons other than those persons authorized under
this Agreement to have such information for the benefit of the Company. Employee agrees to notify the Company in writing of any actual or suspected misuse, misappropriation, or unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information that may come to
Employee’s attention. Employee acknowledges that if Employee discloses or uses knowledge of the Company’s Confidential Information to gain an advantage for Employee, for any Competing Business, or for any other person or entity other than
the Company, such an advantage so obtained would be unfair and detrimental to the Company. 



  
 Page 6 of 16 














	 	b.	 Employee expressly agrees that Employee’s duty of non-use and non-disclosure shall continue indefinitely for any information of the Company that constitutes a Trade Secret under applicable law, so long as such information remains a Trade Secret. 



7. RETURN OF COMPANY PROPERTY AND MATERIALS. Any Confidential Information, trade secrets, materials, equipment,
information, documents, electronic data, or other items that have been furnished by the Company to Employee in connection with the Employment are the exclusive property of the Company and shall be promptly returned to the Company by Employee,
accompanied by all copies of such documentation, immediately when the Employment has been terminated or concluded, or otherwise upon the written request of the Company. Employee shall not retain any copies of any Company information or other
property after the Employment ends, and shall cooperate with the Company to ensure that all copies, both written and electronic, are immediately returned to the Company. Employee shall cooperate with Company representatives and allow such
representatives to oversee the process of erasing and/or permanently removing any such Confidential Information or other property of the Company from any computer, personal digital assistant, phone, or other electronic device, or any cloud-based
storage account or other electronic medium owned or controlled by Employee. 
 8. LIMITED NONCOMPETE AGREEMENT.
Employee expressly agrees that Employee will not (either directly or indirectly, by assisting or acting in concert with others) Compete with the Company during Employee’s employment with the Company. 

9. NONSOLICITATION OF CUSTOMERS/PROSPECTIVE CUSTOMERS. Employee expressly agrees that during Employee’s employment
with the Company, Employee will not (either directly or indirectly, by assisting or acting in concert with others), on behalf of himself/herself or any other person, business, entity, including but not limited to on behalf of a Competing Business,
call upon, solicit, or attempt to call upon or solicit any business from any Customer or Prospective Customer for the purpose of providing services substantially similar to the Services. 

10. NONRECRUITMENT OF EMPLOYEES. Employee expressly agrees that during the Restricted Period, Employee will not, on
behalf of himself/herself or any other person, business, or entity (either directly or indirectly, by assisting or acting in concert with others), solicit, recruit, or encourage, or attempt to solicit, recruit, or encourage any of the Company’s
employees, in an effort to hire such employees away from the Company, or to encourage any of the Company’s employees to leave employment with the Company to work for a Competing Business. 

11. REMEDIES; INDEMNIFICATION. Employee agrees that the obligations set forth in this Agreement are necessary and
reasonable in order to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests and (without limiting the foregoing) that the obligations set forth in Sections 8, 9 and 10 are necessary and reasonable in order to protect the Company’s
legitimate business interests in protecting its Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, customer and employee relationships and the goodwill associated therewith. Employee expressly agrees that due to the unique nature of the Company’s
Confidential Information, and its relationships with its Customers and other employees, monetary damages would be inadequate to compensate the Company for any breach by Employee of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement.
Accordingly, Employee agrees and acknowledges that any such violation or threatened violation shall cause irreparable injury to the Company and that, in addition to any other remedies that may be available in law, in equity, or otherwise, the
Company shall be entitled: (a) to obtain 

  
 Page 7 of 16 













 
injunctive relief against the threatened breach of this Agreement or the continuation of any such breach by Employee, without the necessity of proving actual damages; and (b) to be
indemnified by Employee from any loss or harm; and (c) to recover any costs or attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in connection with any breach by Employee or enforcement action relating to Employee’s obligations under this Agreement.

 12. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF; TOLLING. Notwithstanding the arbitration provisions contained herein, or anything else to the
contrary in this Agreement, Employee understands that the violation of any restrictive covenants of this Agreement may result in irreparable and continuing damage to the Company for which monetary damages will not be sufficient, and agrees that
Company will be entitled to seek, in addition to its other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and both before or while an arbitration is pending between the parties under this Agreement, a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or
similar injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in order to preserve the status quo or prevent irreparable injury pending the full and final resolution of the dispute through arbitration, without the necessity of showing any actual
damages or that monetary damages would not afford an adequate remedy, and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security. The aforementioned injunctive relief shall be in addition to, not in lieu of, legal remedies, monetary damages or
other available forms of relief through arbitration proceedings. This Section shall not be construed to limit the obligation for either party to pursue arbitration. The Restricted Period as defined in this Agreement may be extended during the
pendency of any litigation (including appeals) or arbitration proceeding, in order to give the Company the full protection of the restrictive covenants as described in this Agreement. 

13. DEFINITIONS. For all purposes throughout this Agreement, the terms defined below shall have the respective meanings specified

Confidential Information may be in written or non-written form, as well as information held on electronic media or networks, magnetic storage, cloud storage service, or other similar media. The Company has
invested and will continue to invest extensive time, resources, talent, and effort to develop its Confidential Information, all of which generates goodwill for the Company. Employee acknowledges that the Company has taken reasonable and adequate

 14. MANDATORY ARBITRATION
CLAUSE; NO JURY TRIAL. A Party may bring an action in court to obtain a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other provisional remedy available under California Code of Civil Procedure § 1281.8 in response to
any violation or threatened violation of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Agreement, or for any other purpose for which a provisional remedy may be obtained pursuant that statute. Otherwise, Employee expressly agrees and acknowledges that
the Company and Employee will utilize binding arbitration to resolve all disputes that may arise out of the employment context. 
  

	 	a.	 Both the Company and Employee hereby agree that any claim, dispute, and/or controversy that Employee may have
against the Company (or its owners, directors, officers, managers, employees, agents, insurers and parties affiliated with its employee benefit and health plans), or that the Company may have against Employee, arising from, related to, or having any
relationship or connection whatsoever to the Employment, shall be submitted to and determined exclusively by binding arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1, et seq.) in conformity with the Federal Rules
of Civil Procedure. Included within the scope of this Agreement are all disputes including, but not limited to, any claims alleging employment discrimination, harassment, hostile environment, retaliation, whistleblower protection, wrongful
discharge, constructive discharge, failure to grant leave, failure to reinstate, failure to accommodate, tortious conduct, breach of contract, and/or any other claims Employee may have against the Company for any exemption misclassification, unpaid
wages or overtime pay, benefits, payments, bonuses, commissions, vacation pay, leave pay, workforce reduction payments, costs or expenses, emotional distress, pain and suffering, or other alleged damages arising out of the Employment or termination.
Also included are any claims based on or arising under Title VII, 42 USC Section 1981, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act,
Sarbanes-Oxley, all as amended, or any other state or federal law or regulation, equitable law, or otherwise relating in any way to the employment relationship. 



 

	 	b.	 Nothing herein, however, shall prevent Employee from filing and pursuing proceedings before the United States
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or similar state agency (although if Employee chooses to pursue any type of claim for relief following the exhaustion of such administrative remedies, such claim would be subject to resolution under these
mandatory arbitration provisions). In addition, nothing herein shall prevent Employee from filing an administrative claim for unemployment benefits or workers’ compensation benefits. 



  
 Page 10 of 16 














	 	c.	 Nothing in the confidentiality or nondisclosure or other provisions of this Agreement shall be construed to
limit Employee’s right to respond accurately and fully to any question, inquiry or request for information when required by legal process or from initiating communications directly with, or responding to any inquiry from, or providing testimony
before, any self-regulatory organization or state or federal regulatory authority, regarding the Company, Employee’s Employment, or this Agreement. Employee is not required to contact the Company regarding the subject matter of any such
communications before engaging in such communications. Employee also understands that Employee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (1) is made
(a) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and (b) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (2) is made in a
complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Employee also understands that disclosure of trade secrets to attorneys, in legal proceedings if disclosed under seal, or pursuant to court order
is also protected under 18 U.S. Code §1833 when disclosure is made in connection with a retaliation lawsuit based on the reporting of a suspected violation of law. 



 

	 	d.	 In addition to any other requirements imposed by law, the arbitrator selected shall be a qualified individual
mutually selected by the Parties, and shall be subject to disqualification on the same grounds as would apply to a judge. All rules of pleading, all rules of evidence, all statutes of limitations, all rights to resolution of the dispute by means of
motions for summary judgment, and judgment on the pleadings shall apply and be observed. Resolution of the dispute shall be based solely upon the law governing the claims and defenses pleaded, and the arbitrator may not invoke any basis (including
but not limited to, notions of “just cause”) other than such controlling law. Likewise, all communications during or in connection with the arbitration proceedings are privileged. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award
appropriate substantive relief under relevant laws, including the damages, costs and attorneys’ fees that would be available under such laws. 


  

	 	e.	 Employee’s initial share of the arbitration fee shall be in an amount equal to the filing fee as would be
applicable in a court proceeding, or $100, whichever is less. Beyond the arbitration filing fee, Employer will bear all other fees, expenses and charges of the arbitrator. 



 

	 	f.	 Employee understands and agrees that all claims against the Company must be brought in Employee’s
individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Employee understands that there is no right or authority for any dispute to be heard or arbitrated on a collective action basis,
class action basis, as a private attorney general, or on bases involving claims or disputes brought in a representative capacity on behalf of the general public, on behalf of other Company employees (or any of them) or on behalf of other persons
alleged to be similarly situated. Employee understands that there are no bench or jury trials and no class actions or representative actions permitted under this Agreement. The Arbitrator shall not consolidate claims of different employees into




  
 Page 11 of 16 














	 	
one proceeding, nor shall the Arbitrator have the power to hear an arbitration as a class action, collective action, or representative action. The interpretation of this subsection shall be
decided by a judge, not the Arbitrator. Notwithstanding the provisions in Paragraph 21 below, this subparagraph (f) is material to the arbitration provisions of Paragraph 14 herein and cannot be severed from Paragraph 14. In the event it is
determined that this subparagraph (f) is unenforceable with regard to a claim, dispute and/or controversy as set forth in subparagraph (a) above, this will render Paragraph 14 unenforceable in its entirety. Severance of Paragraph 14 from
the Agreement shall not affect the enforcement of the remainder of the Agreement. 

  

	 	g.	 Procedure. Employee and Company agree that prior to the service of an Arbitration Demand, the parties shall
negotiate in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days in an effort to resolve any arbitrable dispute privately, amicably and confidentially. To commence an arbitration pursuant to this Agreement, a party shall serve a written arbitration
demand (the “Demand”) on the other party by hand delivery or via overnight delivery service (in a manner that provides proof of receipt by respondent). The Demand shall be served before expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.
The Demand shall describe the arbitrable dispute in sufficient detail to advise the respondent of the nature and basis of the dispute, state the date on which the dispute first arose, list the names and addresses of every person whom the claimant
believes does or may have information relating to the dispute, including a short description of the matter(s) about which each person is believed to have knowledge, and state with particularity the relief requested by the claimant, including a
specific monetary amount, if the claimant seeks a monetary award of any kind. If respondent does not provide a written Response to the Demand, all allegations will be considered denied. The parties shall confer in good faith to attempt to agree upon
a suitable arbitrator, and if unable to do so, they will select an arbitrator from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”)’s employment arbitration panel for the area. The arbitrator shall allow limited discovery, as appropriate
in his or her discretion. The arbitrator’s award shall include a written reasoned opinion. 


  

	 	h.	 Unless Employee initials in the space at the end of this paragraph, Employee understands, agrees, and consents
to this binding arbitration provision, and Employee and the Company hereby each expressly waive the right to trial by jury of any claims arising out of Employment with the Company. By initialing below, Employee opts out of the binding
arbitration provisions of Paragraph 14, including the class action waiver. Employee’s Initials:                  



15. NOTICE OF VOLUNTARY TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Unless otherwise stated in Employee’s offer letter of employment,
Employee agrees to use reasonable efforts to provide the Company fourteen (14) days written notice of Employee’s intent to terminate Employee’s Employment; provided, however, that this provision shall not change the at-will nature of the employment relationship between Employee and the Company. It shall be within the Company’s sole discretion to determine whether Employee should continue to perform services on behalf of
the Company during this notice period. 

  
 Page 12 of 16 













 16. NON-DISPARAGEMENT. During and
after Employee’s Employment with the Company, except to the extent compelled or required by law, Employee agrees he/she shall not disparage the Company, its customers and suppliers or their respective officers, directors, agents, servants,
employees, attorneys, shareholders, successors or assigns or their respective products or services, in any manner (including but not limited to, verbally or via hard copy, websites, blogs, social media forums or any other medium); provided, however,
that nothing in this Section shall prevent Employee from: engaging in concerted activity relative to the terms and conditions of Employee’s Employment and in communications protected under the National Labor Relations Act, filing a charge or
providing information to any governmental agency, or from providing information in response to a subpoena or other enforceable legal process or as otherwise required by law. 

17. NOTIFICATION OF NEW EMPLOYER. Before Employee accepts Employment or enters into any consulting, independent contractor, or
other professional or business engagement with any other person or entity while any of the provisions of Sections 9, 10 or 11 of this Agreement are in effect, Employee will provide such person or entity with written notice of the provisions of
Sections 9, 10 and/or 11 and will deliver a copy of that notice to the Company. While any of Sections 9, 10 or 11 of this Agreement are in effect, Employee agrees that, upon the request of the Company, Employee will furnish the Company with the name
and address of any new employer or entity for whom Employee provides contractor or consulting services, as well as the capacity in which Employee will be employed or otherwise engaged. Employee hereby consents to the Company’s notifying
Employee’s new employer about Employee’s responsibilities, restrictions and obligations under this Agreement. 
 18.
REIMBURSEMENT TO COMPANY. To the extent allowed by applicable law, Employee agrees to reimburse the Company for any amounts due as a result of the Employment, including, but not limited to, any unused business expense advances, charges
for Company property that Employee fails to return when requested or that Employee lost or damaged as the result of a dishonest, willful or grossly negligent act, and any other charges incurred that are payable to the Company. Employee agrees to
enter into a repayment arrangements and execute instruments or documents as may be provided by Company to effectuate this provision. 
 19.
NO RIGHTS GRANTED. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as granting to Employee any rights under any patent, copyright, or other intellectual property right of the Company, nor shall this Agreement grant Employee any
rights in or to Confidential Information of the Company other than the limited right to review and use such Confidential Information solely for the purpose of participating in the Employment for the benefit of the Company. 

20. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement will be binding upon Employee’s heirs, executors, administrators and other
legal representatives and will be for the benefit of the Company, its successors, its assigns and licensees. This Agreement, and Employee’s rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned by Employee; however, the Company may assign its
rights hereunder without Employee’s consent, whether in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of any or all of its business or assets or otherwise. 

21. SEVERABILITY AND REFORMATION. Employee and the Company agree that if any particular paragraphs, subparagraphs, phrases,
words, or other portions of this Agreement are determined by an appropriate court, arbitrator, or other tribunal to be invalid or unenforceable as written, they shall be modified as necessary to comport with the reasonable intent and expectations of
the parties and in favor of 

  
 Page 13 of 16 













 
providing maximum reasonable protection to the Company’s legitimate business interests. Such modification shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Agreement. If such provisions
cannot be modified to be made valid or enforceable, then they shall be severed from this Agreement, and all remaining terms and provisions shall remain enforceable. 

22. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENT. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Parties relating to the subject matters
contained herein. No term of this Agreement may be amended or modified unless made in writing and executed by both Employee and an authorized agent of the Company. This Agreement replaces and supersedes all prior representations, understandings, or
agreements, written or oral, between Employee and the Company with regard to restrictive covenants, post-employment restrictions, and mandatory arbitration. 

23. WAIVER. Failure to fully enforce any provision of this Agreement by either Party shall not constitute a waiver of any term
hereof by such Party; no waiver shall be recognized unless expressly made in writing, and executed by the Party that allegedly made such waiver. 

24. CONSTRUCTION. The Parties agree that this Agreement has been reviewed by each Party, each Party had an opportunity to
make suggestions about the provisions of the Agreement, and each Party had sufficient opportunity to obtain the advice of legal counsel on matters of contract interpretation, if desired. The Parties agree that this Agreement shall not be construed
or interpreted more harshly against one Party merely because one Party was the original drafter of the Agreement. 
 25.
COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same legally recognized instrument. 

26. THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES. Employee specifically acknowledges and agrees that the direct and indirect subsidiaries, parents,
owners, and affiliated companies of the Company are intended to be beneficiaries of this Agreement and shall have every right to enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 

27. NOTICES. Notices regarding this Agreement shall be sent via email or to the mailing addresses of the Parties as set
forth in the signature block to this Agreement. 
 28. GOVERNING LAW AND FORUM SELECTION. This Agreement shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act. Any non-arbitration-covered disputes shall be resolved under the substantive laws and in the jurisdiction of the state where Employee
most recently worked for the Company.

Certain Definitions 

“Cause” means any of the following: (i) a material failure by you to perform your responsibilities or duties to the
