Expenses against which such person shall be indemnified hereunder include the amounts of any settlement, judgment, attorneys’ fees, costs of court, and any other related charges reasonably incurred in connection with a claim, proceeding,

	 	(c)	 Compensation and Expenses. The Committee shall not receive additional compensation with respect to

benefits from all members of the Company Group with respect to the Eligible Executives. 


  

	5.	 Plan Benefits. 



 

	 	(a)	 Qualifying Termination Outside of a Change in Control Protection Period. In the event an Eligible
Executive’s employment with any member of the Company Group ends due to a Qualifying Termination that occurs outside of a Change in Control Protection Period, such Eligible Executive shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Amounts, and so long
as such Eligible Executive satisfies the Release Requirement and abides by the terms of Sections 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 below, such Eligible Executive shall also be entitled to receive: 



 

	 	(i)	 A cash severance payment in an amount equal to, (A) with respect to a Tier 1 Executive, one times the
sum of such Tier 1 Executive’s (I) Base Salary and (II) Target Annual Bonus or (B) with respect to a Tier 2 Executive, 0.5 times the sum of such Tier 2 Executive’s (I) Base Salary and (II) Target Annual Bonus.
Payment pursuant to this Paragraph 5(a)(i) shall take the form of either a lump sum cash payment or salary continuation, at the Company’s sole discretion. Any lump sum cash payment made shall be less all applicable taxes, withholdings and
deductions, and shall be made on 



  
 6 













	 	
the Company’s first regularly scheduled pay date that is on or after the date that is 60 days after such Eligible Executive’s Date of Termination. Any salary continuation paid pursuant
to this paragraph will be paid through the Company’s regularly established payroll schedule, less all applicable taxes, withholdings and deductions, for a period of (x) 12 months with respect to a Tier 1 Executive, or (y) 6 months with respect
to a Tier 2 Executive. For avoidance of doubt, any Eligible Executive receiving salary continuation will not be eligible to participate in the Company’s benefit plans (other than through COBRA, if elected); provided, however, that the payment
of any Severance Amount that is otherwise due and payable to an Eligible Executive prior to the date the Eligible Executive’s Release becomes final, binding and irrevocable, shall be suspended and shall not be paid to the Eligible Executive
until the Company’s first regularly scheduled pay date on or after the date that is 60 days after such Eligible Executive’s Date of Termination; provided, further, that to the extent, if any, that the aggregate amount of the installments
of the Severance Amount that would otherwise be paid pursuant to this section after the Applicable March 15 exceeds the maximum exemption amount under Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A), then such excess shall be paid to the Eligible Executive in a lump sum on the Applicable March 15 (or the first business day preceding the Applicable March 15 if
the Applicable March 15 is not a business day) and the installments of the Severance Amount payable after the Applicable March 15 shall be reduced by such excess (beginning with the installment first payable after the Applicable
March 15 and continuing with the next succeeding installment until the aggregate reduction equals such excess). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect for the Company to pay an Eligible Executive’s
Severance Amount under Section 5(a)(i) in a lump sum cash payment on the Company’s first regularly scheduled pay date that is on or after the date that is 60 days after such Eligible Executive’s Date of Termination (and any election
by the Committee for the Company to pay an Eligible Executive’s Severance Amount in a lump sum shall not be binding on the Committee, the Company or any of its Affiliates with respect to payments to any other Eligible Executive); and


  

	 	(ii)	 In the case of a Tier 1 Executive, an amount equal to the product of (A) 12 and (B) the monthly amount of
the Company’s contribution to the premiums for such Eligible Executive’s group health plan coverage (including coverage for such Eligible Executive’s spouse and eligible dependents), determined under the Company’s group health
plans as in effect immediately prior to such Eligible Executive’s Date of Termination, payable in a lump sum cash payment on the Company’s first regularly scheduled pay date that is on or after the date that is 60 days after such Eligible
Executive’s Date of Termination. In the case of a Tier 2 Executive, an amount equal to the product of (A) 6 and (B) the monthly amount of the Company’s contribution to the premiums for such Eligible Executive’s group health plan
coverage (including coverage for such Eligible Executive’s spouse and eligible dependents), determined under the Company’s group health plans as in effect immediately prior to such Eligible Executive’s Date of Termination, payable in
a lump sum cash payment on the Company’s first regularly scheduled pay date that is on or after the date that is 60 days after such Eligible Executive’s Date of Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, if, as of an Eligible
Executive’s Date of Termination, such Eligible Executive does not participate in any of the Company’s group health plans, then the amount under this Section 5(a)(ii) will equal zero. 



  
 7 













	 	(b)	 Qualifying Termination During a Change in Control Protection Period. In the event an Eligible
Executive’s employment with any member of the Company Group, ends due to a Qualifying Termination that occurs during a Change in Control Protection Period, such Eligible Executive shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Amounts, and so long as
such Eligible Executive satisfies the Release Requirement and abides by the terms of Sections 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 below, such Eligible Executive shall also be entitled to receive: 



 

	 	(i)	 A cash severance payment in an amount equal to, (A) with respect to a Tier 1 Executive, two times the
sum of such Tier 1 Executive’s (I) Base Salary and (II) Target Annual Bonus or (B) with respect to a Tier 2 Executive, one times the sum of such Tier 2 Executive’s (I) Base Salary and (II) Target Annual Bonus,
in each case, payable in a lump sum on the Company’s first regularly scheduled pay date that is on or after the date that is 60 days after such Eligible Executive’s Date of Termination; and 



 

	 	(ii)	 An amount equal to (i) with respect to a Tier 1 Executive, the product of (A) 24 and (B) the monthly
amount of the Company’s contribution to the premiums for such Tier 1 Executive’s group health plan coverage (including coverage for such Tier 1 Executive’s spouse and eligible dependents) or (B) with respect to a Tier 2
Executive, the product of (A) 12 and (B) the monthly amount of the Company’s contribution to the premiums for such Tier 2 Executive’s group health plan coverage (including coverage for such Tier 2 Executive’s spouse and eligible
dependents), in each case, determined under the Company’s group health plans as in effect immediately prior to such Eligible Executive’s Date of Termination, payable in a lump sum cash payment on the Company’s first regularly
scheduled pay date that is on or after the date that is 60 days after such Eligible Executive’s Date of Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, if, as of an Eligible Executive’s Date of Termination, such Eligible Executive does not
participate in any of the Company’s group health plans, then the amount under this Section 5(b)(ii) will equal zero. 


 For
clarity, all outstanding equity incentive awards then held by such Eligible Executive, pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan or otherwise, will be treated in accordance with the award agreement applicable to such award. 

 

	 	(c)	 Non-Qualifying Terminations of Employment. In the event that an Eligible Executive’s
employment with any member of the Company Group terminates other than pursuant to a Qualifying Termination, including as a result of death or Disability, then all compensation and benefits to such Eligible Executive shall terminate contemporaneously
with such termination of employment, except that such Eligible Executive shall be entitled to the Accrued Amounts. 


  

  
 8 













	 	(d)	 After-Acquired Evidence. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that
the Company determines during the Prohibited Period that an Eligible Executive is eligible to receive the Severance Amount and other severance benefits pursuant to Section 5(a) or 5(b) but, after such determination, the Company subsequently
acquires evidence or determines that: (i) such Eligible Executive has failed to abide by the terms of Sections 7, 8, 9, 10 or 11; or (ii) a Cause condition existed prior to the Date of Termination that, had the Company been fully aware of
such condition, would have given the Company the right to terminate such Eligible Executive’s employment for Cause, then the Company shall have the right to cease payment of the Severance Amount and to cease providing any other severance
benefits under Sections 5(a) or 5(b) and such Eligible Executive shall promptly return to the Company any payment of the Severance Amount and any other severance benefits received by such Eligible Executive prior to the date that the Company
determines that the conditions of this Section 5(d) have been satisfied. 


  

	 	(e)	 Effect on Other Agreements, Plans and Benefits. The severance payments and benefits pursuant to
Section 5 shall be (i) in lieu of and not in addition to any severance payments or benefits under any other Company severance agreement, plan, policy or arrangement (unless such agreement, plan, policy or arrangement expressly provides for
severance payments or benefits to be in addition to those provided under the Plan) and (ii) reduced by any severance payments or benefits to which an Eligible Executive is entitled by operation of an applicable statute, government regulation or
other applicable law. Any severance payments or benefits payable to an Eligible Executive under the Plan shall not be counted as compensation for purposes of determining compensation or benefits under any other employee benefit plan or compensatory
arrangement of any member of the Company Group, except to the extent expressly provided therein. 


  

	6.	 Certain Excise Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, if an Eligible
Executive is a “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code), and the payments and benefits provided for in the Plan, together with any other payments and benefits which such Eligible Executive has the right to
receive from the Company or any of its Affiliates, and taking into account reductions in respect of reasonable compensation for personal services to be rendered by the Eligible Executive on or following the date of the relevant “change in
ownership or control” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code), including pursuant to applicable non-competition and other restrictive covenant obligations, would constitute a “parachute
payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), then the payments and benefits provided for in the Plan shall be either (a) reduced (but not below zero) so that the present value of such total amounts and benefits received by
such Eligible Executive from the Company and its Affiliates will be one dollar less than three times such Eligible Executive’s “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) and so that no portion of such amounts
and benefits received by such Eligible Executive shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or (b) paid in full, whichever produces the better net after-tax position to
such Eligible Executive (taking into account any applicable excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code and any other applicable taxes). The reduction of payments and benefits hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by reducing, first, payments
or benefits to be paid in cash hereunder in the order in which such payment or benefit would be paid or provided (beginning with such payment or benefit that would be made last in time and continuing, to the extent necessary, through to such payment
or benefit that would be made first in time) and, then, reducing any benefit to be provided in-kind hereunder in a similar order. 



  
 9 













	 	
The determination as to whether any such reduction in the amount of the payments and benefits provided hereunder is necessary shall be made by the Company in good faith. If a reduced payment or
benefit is made or provided and through error or otherwise that payment or benefit, when aggregated with other payments and benefits from the Company (or its Affiliates) used in determining if a “parachute payment” exists, exceeds one
dollar less than three times such Eligible Executive’s base amount, then such Eligible Executive shall immediately repay such excess to the Company upon notification that an overpayment has been made. Nothing in this Section 6 shall
require the Company to be responsible for, or have any liability or obligation with respect to, such Eligible Executives’ excise tax liabilities under Section 4999 of the Code. 


 

	7.	 Confidentiality. During the period in which an Eligible Executive participates in the Plan, the
Eligible Executive shall be provided with, and will have access to, Confidential Information. In consideration of such Eligible Executive’s receipt of Confidential Information and access to such Confidential Information and in exchange for
other valuable consideration provided hereunder, and as a condition to participation in the Plan, each Eligible Executive shall be subject to the covenants and restrictions in this Section 7 and in Sections 8, 9, 10 and 11.



  

	 	(a)	 In General. Both during the period that an Eligible Executive is employed or engaged by or affiliated
with the Company or any other member of the Company Group (the “Employment Period”) and thereafter, except as expressly permitted by the Plan or by directive of the Board, the Eligible Executive shall not disclose any Confidential
Information to any person or entity and shall not use any Confidential Information except for the benefit of the Company Group. Each Eligible Executive acknowledges and agrees that such Eligible Executive would inevitably use and disclose
Confidential Information in violation of this Section 7 if such Eligible Executive were to violate any of the covenants set forth in Section 9. Each Eligible Executive shall follow all Company Group policies and protocols regarding
the security of all documents and other materials containing Confidential Information (regardless of the medium on which Confidential Information is stored). Except to the extent required for the performance of the Eligible Executive’s duties
on behalf of any member of the Company Group, an Eligible Executive shall not remove from facilities of any member of the Company Group any information, property, equipment, drawings, notes, reports, manuals, invention records, computer software,
customer information, or other data or materials that relate in any way to the Confidential Information, whether paper or electronic and whether produced by such Eligible Executive or obtained by the Company Group. The covenants of this
Section 7 shall apply to all Confidential Information, whether now known or later to become known to an Eligible Executive during the period that such Eligible Executive is employed or engaged by or affiliated with the Company or any other
member of the Company Group. 


  

	 	(b)	 Permitted Disclosures. Notwithstanding any provision of Section 7(a) to the contrary, an Eligible
Executive may make the following disclosures and uses of Confidential Information: 


 (i) disclosures to
other employees, officers or directors of a member of the Company Group who have a need to know the information in connection with the businesses of the Company Group; 

  
 10 












 (ii) disclosures to customers and suppliers when such disclosure is
necessary in connection with the Eligible Executive’s performance of the Eligible Executive’s duties for any member of the Company Group and is in the best interests of the Company Group; 

(iii) disclosures and uses that are approved in writing by the Board; or 

(iv) disclosures to a person or entity that has (A) been retained by a member of the Company Group to provide services to
one or more members of the Company Group and (B) agreed in writing to abide by the terms of a confidentiality agreement in a form acceptable to the Company. 
  

	 	(c)	 Return of Confidential Information. Upon expiration of the Eligible Executive’s Employment
Period, and at any other time upon request of the Company, an Eligible Executive shall promptly surrender and deliver to the Company all documents (including electronically stored information) and all copies thereof and all other materials of any
nature containing or pertaining to all Confidential Information and any other Company Group property (including any Company Group-issued computer, mobile device or other property or equipment) in the Eligible Executive’s possession, custody or
control and the Eligible Executive shall not retain any such documents or other materials or property of the Company Group. Within five days of any such request, the Eligible Executive shall certify to the Company in writing that all such documents,
materials and property have been returned to the Company. 


  

	 	(d)	 Additional Permitted Disclosures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in the Plan or in any other
agreement between the Eligible Executive and the Company or any other member of the Company Group shall prohibit or restrict an Eligible Executive from lawfully: (i) initiating communications directly with, cooperating with, providing
information to, causing information to be provided to, or otherwise assisting in an investigation by, any governmental authority (including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) regarding a possible violation of any law; (ii) responding
to any inquiry or legal process directed to such Eligible Executive from any such governmental authority; (iii) testifying, participating or otherwise assisting in any action or proceeding by any such governmental authority relating to a
possible violation of law or pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (iv) accepting any U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission awards; or (v) making any other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of any applicable
law or regulation; provided, that the Eligible Executive use reasonable best efforts to (A) disclose only information that is reasonably related to such possible violations or that is requested by such agency or entity, and (B) request
that such agency or entity treat such information as confidential. Additionally, pursuant to the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), an Eligible Executive shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any
federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (I) is made (x) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (y) solely for the
purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; (II) is made to such Eligible Executive’s attorney in relation to a lawsuit for retaliation against such Eligible Executive for reporting a suspected violation of law; or
(III) is made in a complaint or 



  
 11 













	 	
other document filed in a lawsuit or proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Nothing in the Plan or any other agreement between the Eligible Executive and the Company requires an Eligible
Executive to obtain prior authorization before engaging in any conduct described in this Section 7(d), or to notify any member of the Company Group that the Eligible Executive has engaged in any such conduct, and nothing is intended to conflict
with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by such section. 

  

	8.	 Ownership of Intellectual Property. 



 

	 	(a)	 Each Eligible Executive agrees that the Company shall own, and such Eligible Executive shall (and hereby does)
assign, all right, title and interest relating to any and all inventions (whether or not patentable), discoveries, developments, improvements, innovations, works of authorship, mask works, designs, know-how,
ideas, formulae, processes, techniques, data, information and similar items authored, created, contributed to, made or conceived or reduced to practice, in whole or in part, by such Eligible Executive during the period in which such Eligible
Executive is or has been employed by or affiliated with the Company or any other member of the Company Group, whether or not registerable under U.S. law or the laws of other jurisdictions, that either (i) relate, at the time of conception,
reduction to practice, creation, derivation or development, to any member of the Company Group’s businesses or actual or anticipated research or development, or (ii) were developed on any amount of the Company’s or any other member of
the Company Group’s time or with the use of any member of the Company Group’s equipment, supplies, facilities or Confidential Information (all of the foregoing collectively referred to herein as “Company Intellectual
Property”), and such Eligible Executive shall promptly disclose all Company Intellectual Property to the Company in writing. To support an Eligible Executive’s disclosure obligation herein, the Eligible Executive shall keep and
maintain adequate and current written records of all Company Intellectual Property made by the Eligible Executive (solely or jointly with others) during the period in which the Eligible Executive is or has been employed by or affiliated with the
Company or any other member of the Company Group in such form as may be specified from time to time by the Company. These records shall be available to, and remain the sole property of, the Company at all times. For the elimination of doubt, the
foregoing ownership and assignment provisions apply without limitation to patent rights, copyrights, trade secret rights, mask work rights, trademark rights, and all other intellectual and industrial property rights of any sort throughout the world.



  

	 	(b)	 All of an Eligible Executive’s works of authorship and associated copyrights created during the period in
which the Eligible Executive is employed by or affiliated with the Company or any other member of the Company Group and in the scope of the Eligible Executive’s employment or engagement shall be deemed to be “works made for hire”
within the meaning of the Copyright Act. To the extent any right, title and interest in and to Company Intellectual Property cannot be assigned by an Eligible Executive to the Company, the Eligible Executive shall grant, and does hereby grant, to
the Company Group an exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, transferable, irrevocable, worldwide license (with rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees) to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import, export, reproduce,
practice and otherwise commercialize such rights, title and interest. 



  
 12 













	 	(c)	 Each Eligible Executive agrees to disclose promptly in writing to the Company Group all Company Intellectual
Property conceived, reduced to practice, created, derived, developed, or made by the Eligible Executive during the Eligible Executive’s relationship with the Company Group and for one year thereafter, whether or not the Eligible Executive
believes the Company Intellectual Property is subject to the Plan, to permit a determination by the Company Group as to whether or not the Company Intellectual Property is or should be considered works made for hire. The Company Group will receive
that information in confidence. 


  

	 	(d)	 Each Eligible Executive recognizes that the Plan will not be deemed to require assignment of any invention or
intellectual property that the Eligible Executive developed entirely on the Eligible Executive’s own time without using the equipment, supplies, facilities, trade secrets, or Confidential Information of any member of the Company Group. In
addition, the Plan does not apply to any invention that qualifies fully for protection from assignment to the Company under any specifically applicable state law or regulation. 



 

	 	(e)	 To the extent allowed by law, this Section 8 applies to all rights that may be known as or referred to as
“moral rights,” “artist’s rights,” “droit moral,” such as the right to be named as author, the right to modify, the right to prevent mutilation and the right to prevent commercial exploitation or the like,
including without limitation those rights set forth in 17 U.S.C. §106A (collectively, “Moral Rights”). To the extent an Eligible Executive retains any Moral Rights under applicable law, the Eligible Executive hereby ratifies
and consents to any action that may be taken with respect to such Moral Rights by or authorized by the Company or any member of the Company Group, and the Eligible Executive hereby waives and agrees not to assert any Moral Rights with respect to
such Moral Rights. Each Eligible Executive shall confirm any such ratifications, consents, waivers, and agreements from time to time as requested by the Company. 



 

	 	(f)	 All inventions (whether or not patentable), original works of authorship, designs, know-how, mask works, ideas, trademarks or names, information, developments, improvements, and trade secrets of which an Eligible Executive is the sole or joint author, creator, contributor, or inventor that were
made or developed by such Eligible Executive prior to the Eligible Executive’s employment with or affiliation with the Company or any other member of the Company Group, or in which the Eligible Executive asserts any intellectual property right,
and which are applicable to or relate in any way to the business, products, services, or demonstrably anticipated research and development or business of any member of the Company Group (“Prior Inventions”) are listed on the
applicable Annex to the Eligible Executive’s Participation Agreement, and the Eligible Executive represents that such Annex is a complete list of all such Prior Inventions. If no such list is attached, the Eligible Executive hereby
represents and warrants that there are no Prior Inventions, and the Eligible Executive shall make no claim of any rights to any Prior Inventions. If, in the course of an Eligible Executive’s employment with or affiliation with the Company or
any other member of the Company Group, the Eligible Executive uses in connection with 



  
 13 













	 	
or otherwise incorporates into the product, process, or device of any member of the Company Group a Prior Invention, the Company Group is hereby granted and will have a nonexclusive,
royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license to make, have made, modify, use, import, export, offer for sale, sell and otherwise commercialize such Prior Invention as part of or in connection with (i) such product, process, or device
of any member of the Company Group and (ii) the conduct of the business of the Company Group. 

  

	 	(g)	 Each Eligible Executive shall perform, during and after the period in which such Eligible Executive is or has
been employed by or affiliated with the Company or any other member of the Company Group, all acts deemed necessary or desirable by the Company to permit and assist each member of the Company Group, at the Company’s expense, in obtaining and
enforcing the full benefits, enjoyment, rights and title throughout the world in the Company Intellectual Property and Confidential Information assigned, to be assigned, or licensed to the Company under this Plan. Such acts may include execution of
documents and assistance or cooperation (i) in the filing, prosecution, registration, and memorialization of assignment of any applicable patents, copyrights, mask work, or other applications, (ii) in the enforcement of any applicable
patents, copyrights, mask work, moral rights, trade secrets, or other proprietary rights, and (iii) in other legal proceedings related to the Company Intellectual Property or Confidential Information, in each case, without diminishing any
rights or claims of the Company to any Company Intellectual Property or otherwise. 


  

	 	(h)	 In the event that the Company (or, as applicable, a member of the Company Group) is unable for any reason to
secure an Eligible Executive’s signature to any document required to file, prosecute, register, or memorialize the assignment of any patent, copyright, mask work or other applications or to enforce any patent, copyright, mask work, moral right,
trade secret or other proprietary right under any Confidential Information or Company Intellectual Property, the Eligible Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and each of the Company’s duly authorized officers and
agents as the Eligible Executive’s agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and on Eligible Executive’s behalf and instead of the Eligible Executive (i) to
execute, file, prosecute, register and memorialize the assignment of any such application, (ii) to execute and file any documentation required for such enforcement, and (iii) to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the filing,
prosecution, registration, memorialization of assignment, issuance, and enforcement of patents, copyrights, mask works, moral rights, trade secrets or other rights under the Confidential Information or Company Intellectual Property, all with the
same legal force and effect as if executed by the Eligible Executive. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 8(h) apply fully to all derivative works, improvements, renewals, extensions, continuations, divisionals,
continuations in part, continuing patent applications, reissues, and reexaminations of all Company Intellectual Property. 



  
 14 













	 	(i)	 In the event that an Eligible Executive enters into, on behalf of any member of the Company Group, any
contracts or agreements relating to any Confidential Information or Company Intellectual Property, the Eligible Executive shall assign such contracts or agreements to the Company (or the applicable member of the Company Group) promptly, and in any
event, prior to the Eligible Executive’s termination. If the Company (or the applicable member of the Company Group) is unable for any reason to secure the Eligible Executive’s signature to any document required to assign said contracts or
agreements, or if the Eligible Executive does not assign said contracts or agreements to the Company (or the applicable member of the Company Group) prior to the Eligible Executive’s termination, the Eligible Executive hereby irrevocably
designates and appoints the Company (or the applicable member of the Company Group) and each of the Company’s duly authorized officers and agents as the Eligible Executive’s agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and on the Eligible Executive’s behalf and instead of the Eligible Executive to execute said assignments and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the execution
of said documents. 


  

	9.	 Business Opportunities and Non-Solicitation.



  

	 	(a)	 The Company shall provide each Eligible Executive access to Confidential Information for use only during the
Employment Period and in consideration of the Company providing each Eligible Executive with access to Confidential Information and as an express incentive for the Company to permit each Eligible Executive to participate in the Plan, each Eligible
Executive has voluntarily agreed to the covenants set forth in this Section 9. Each Eligible Executive agrees and acknowledges that the limitations and restrictions set forth herein are reasonable in all respects, do not interfere
with public interests, will not cause the Eligible Executive undue hardship, and are intended and necessary to prevent unfair competition and to protect the Company Group’s Confidential Information, goodwill and legitimate business interests.



  

	 	(b)	 During the Prohibited Period, each Eligible Executive shall not, without the prior written approval of the
Company, directly or indirectly (other than on behalf of a member of the Company Group), for the Eligible Executive or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person or entity of any nature: 



 

	 	(i)	 appropriate any Business Opportunity of, or relating to, any member of the Company Group, located in the Market
Area; 


  

	 	(ii)	 solicit, canvass, approach, encourage, entice or induce, or attempt to solicit, canvass, approach, encourage,
entice or induce any customer or supplier of any member of the Company Group for whom or which the Eligible Executive had direct or indirect responsibility for any member of the Company Group, or about whom or which the Eligible Executive obtained
any Confidential Information, to cease or lessen such customer’s or supplier’s business with any member of the Company Group or otherwise adversely interfere with such relationship; or 



 

	 	(iii)	 solicit, canvass, approach, encourage, entice or induce any employee or contractor of any member of the Company
Group to terminate or reduce his, her or its employment or engagement with any member of the Company Group or otherwise adversely interfere with such relationship. 



  
 15 













	 	(c)	 Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to the Company Group as a result of a breach or
threatened breach of the covenants set forth in Section 7 and in this Section 9, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that would be caused to the members of the Company Group for which they would have no other
adequate remedy, the Company and each other member of the Company Group shall be entitled to enforce the foregoing covenants, in the event of a breach or threatened breach, by injunctions and restraining orders from any court of competent
jurisdiction, without the necessity of showing any actual damages or that money damages would not afford an adequate remedy, and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security. The aforementioned equitable relief shall not be the
Company’s or any other member of the Company Group’s exclusive remedy for a breach but instead shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Company and each other member of the Company Group, at law and equity.



  

	 	(d)	 The covenants in this Section 9, and each provision and portion hereof, are severable and
separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant (or portion thereof) shall not affect the provisions of any other covenant (or portion thereof). Moreover, in the event any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction shall determine
that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth are unreasonable, then it is the intention of the parties that such restrictions be severed or reformed, and then enforced to the fullest extent which such arbitrator or court deems
reasonable, and the Plan shall thereby be reformed. 


  

	10.	 Non-Disparagement. Each Eligible Executive agrees that
the Eligible Executive will not (and will not cause or direct any person or entity to), directly or indirectly, at any time, make, publish or communicate to any person, entity or organization, any defamatory, negative or disparaging remarks,
comments or statements concerning the Company Group or its businesses, products or services, or any of its or their employees, investors, members, officers, attorneys, directors, owners, agents, customers, suppliers, investors and other business
relations. 


  

	11.	 Cooperation. Each Eligible Executive agrees that during the Employment Period and thereafter
(regardless of whether the Eligible Executive resigns or the Eligible Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company Group or the reason for such resignation or termination), the Eligible Executive shall provide reasonable and timely
cooperation in connection with: (a) any actual or threatened litigation, inquiry, review, investigation, process, or other matter, action, or proceeding (whether conducted by or before any court, regulatory, or governmental entity, or by or on
behalf of the Company Group, or otherwise), that relates to events occurring during the Eligible Executive’s employment by the Company Group or about which the Company Group otherwise believes the Eligible Executive may have relevant
information; (b) the transitioning of the Eligible Executive’s role and responsibilities to other personnel; and (c) the provision of information in response to the Company Group’s requests and inquiries in connection with the
Eligible Executive’s separation of employment. Each Eligible Executive’s cooperation shall include being available to (i) meet with and provide information to the Company Group and its counsel or other agents in connection with
fact-finding, investigatory, discovery, and/or pre-litigation or other proceeding issues, and (ii) provide truthful testimony (including via affidavit, deposition, at trial, or otherwise) in connection
with any such matter, all without the requirement of being subpoenaed. 



  
 16 













	12.	 Prior Obligations. Each Eligible Executive hereby represents and warrants that the Eligible
Executive is not the subject of, or a party to, any non-competition, non-solicitation, restrictive covenant or non-disclosure
agreement, or any other agreement, obligation, restriction or understanding that would prohibit the Eligible Executive from complying with the Plan or fully performing each of the Eligible Executive’s duties and responsibilities for the Company
Group, or would in any manner, directly or indirectly, limit or affect any of the duties and responsibilities that may now or in the future be assigned to the Eligible Executive by any member of the Company Group. Each Eligible Executive expressly
acknowledges and agrees that the Eligible Executive is strictly prohibited from using or disclosing any confidential information belonging to any prior employer in the course of performing services for any member of the Company Group, and the
Eligible Executive promises that the Eligible Executive shall not do so. Each Eligible Executive shall not introduce documents or other materials containing confidential information of any prior employer to the premises or property (including
computers and computer systems) of any member of the Company Group. 


  

	13.	 Consent to Notification. If an Eligible Executive ceases to be employed by any member of the
Company Group, the Eligible Executive hereby grants consent to notification by the Company Group to any new employer, any third party engaging the Eligible Executive’s services, or any entity to which the Eligible Executive becomes a partner,
member, employee or otherwise engaged about the Eligible Executive’s rights and obligations under the Plan. 


  

	14.	 Claims Procedure and Review. 



 

	 	(a)	 Filing a Claim. Any Eligible Executive that the Committee determines is entitled to severance benefits
under the Plan is not required to file a claim for benefits. Any Eligible Executive (i) who is not paid severance benefits hereunder and who believes that such Eligible Executive is entitled to severance benefits hereunder or (ii) who has
been paid some or all of the severance benefits hereunder and believes that such Eligible Executive is entitled to greater benefits hereunder may file a claim for severance benefits under the Plan in writing with the Committee.



  

	 	(b)	 Initial Determination of a Claim. If a claim for severance benefits hereunder is wholly or partially
denied, the Committee shall, within a reasonable period of time but no later than 90 days after receipt of the claim (or 180 days after receipt of the claim if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim), notify the
claimant of the denial. Such notice shall (i) be in writing, (ii) be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, (iii) contain the specific reason or reasons for denial of the claim, (iv) refer specifically
to the pertinent Plan provisions upon which the denial is based, (v) describe any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim (and explain why such material or information is necessary), and
(vi) describe the Plan’s claim review procedures and time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit
determination on review. 



  
 17 













	 	(c)	 Appeal of a Denied Claim. Within 60 days of the receipt by the claimant of this notice, the claimant may
file a written appeal with the Committee. In connection with the appeal, the claimant may review Plan documents and may submit written issues and comments. The Committee shall deliver to the claimant a written decision on the appeal promptly, but
not later than 60 days after the receipt of the claimant’s appeal (or 120 days after receipt of the claimant’s appeal if there are special circumstances which require an extension of time for processing). Such decision shall (i) be in
writing, (ii) be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, (iii) include specific reasons for the decision, (iv) refer specifically to the Plan provisions upon which the decision is based, (v) state that
the claimant is entitled to receive, on request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits, and (vi) a statement of the claimant’s
right to bring an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. If special circumstances require an extension of up to 180 days for an initial claim or 120 days for an appeal, whichever applies, the Committee shall send written notice of the extension.
This notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension and state when the Committee expects to render the decision. 


  

	 	(d)	 Compliance with ERISA. The benefits claim procedure provided in this Section 14 is intended to
comply with the provisions of 29 C.F.R. §2560.503-1. All provisions of this Section 14 shall be interpreted, construed, and limited in accordance with such intent. 



 

	15.	 General Provisions. 



 

	 	(a)	 Taxes. The Company is authorized to withhold from all payments made hereunder amounts of withholding and
other taxes due or potentially payable in connection therewith, and to take such other action as the Company may deem advisable to enable the Company and the Eligible Executive to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other
tax obligations relating to any payments made under the Plan. 


  

	 	(b)	 No Mitigation. No Eligible Executive shall have any duty to mitigate the amounts payable under the Plan
by seeking or accepting new employment or self-employment following a Qualifying Termination. 


  

	 	(c)	 Offset. The Company may set off against, and each Eligible Executive authorizes the Company to deduct
from, any payments due to the Eligible Executive, or to his or her estate, heirs, legal representatives, or successors, any amounts which may be due and owing to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company by the Eligible Executive, whether arising
under the Plan or otherwise; provided, however, that no such offset may be made with respect to amounts payable that are subject to the requirements of Section 409A unless the offset would not result in a violation of the requirements of
Section 409A. 


  

	 	(d)	 Amendment and Termination. Prior to a Change in Control, the Board and the Committee shall have the
power to amend or terminate the Plan from time to time in its discretion and for any reason (or no reason) (including the removal of an individual as an Eligible Executive); provided that no such amendment or termination shall be effective with
respect to a termination of employment that occurred prior to the amendment or termination of the Plan; and provided, further, that, to the extent any such amendment has a detrimental impact to any Eligible Executive, such amendment will become
effective 



  
 18 













	 	
with respect to such Eligible Executive six months following approval by the Board or Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a Change in Control and during a Change in Control Protection
Period, no amendment or termination of the Plan shall impair any rights or obligations to any Eligible Executive under the Plan (including the removal of an individual as an Eligible Executive) unless such Eligible Executive expressly consents to
such amendment or termination. 

  

	 	(e)	 Successors. The Plan will be binding upon any successor to the Company, its assets, its businesses or
its interest (whether as a result of the occurrence of a Change in Control or otherwise), in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be obligated under the Plan if no succession had taken place. All payments and benefits that
become due to an Eligible Executive under the Plan will inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, assigns, designees or legal representatives. 


  

	 	(f)	 Transfer and Assignment. Neither an Eligible Executive nor any other person shall have any right to
sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate or otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate or convey any amounts payable under the Plan prior to the date that such amounts are paid. 



 

	 	(g)	 Unfunded Obligation. All benefits due an Eligible Executive under the Plan are unfunded and unsecured
and are payable out of the general assets of the Company. The Company is not required to segregate any monies or other assets from its general funds with respect to these obligations. Eligible Executives shall not have any preference or security
interest in any assets of the Company other than as a general unsecured creditor. 


  

	 	(h)	 Severability. If any provision of the Plan (or portion thereof) is held to be illegal or invalid for any
reason, the illegality or invalidity of such provision (or portion thereof) will not affect the remaining provisions (or portions thereof) of the Plan, but such provision (or portion thereof) will be fully severable and the Plan will be construed
and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision (or portion thereof) had never been included herein. 


  

	 	(i)	 COBRA. Subject to the rules and regulations of COBRA, in connection with an Eligible Executive’s
Date of Termination, the Company will provide an Eligible Executive the option to elect to continue group health plan coverage through COBRA. The election of COBRA continuation coverage and the payment of any premiums due with respect to such COBRA
continuation coverage will remain such Eligible Executive’s sole responsibility, and neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates will assume any obligation for payment of any such premiums relating to such COBRA continuation coverage.



  

	 	(j)	 Section 409A. The Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A or an exemption
thereunder and shall be construed and administered in accordance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, payments provided under the Plan may only be made upon an event and in a manner that complies with
Section 409A or an applicable exemption. Any payments under the Plan that may be excluded from Section 409A either as separation pay due to an involuntary separation from service or as a short-term deferral shall be excluded from
Section 409A to the maximum extent possible. Any 



  
 19 













	 	
payments to be made under the Plan upon the termination of an Eligible Executive’s employment shall only be made if such termination of employment constitutes a “separation from
service” under Section 409A. In no event may an Eligible Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment under this Plan. Each installment payment under the Plan is intended to be a separate payment for
purposes of Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, if any payment or benefit provided for herein would be subject to additional taxes and interest under Section 409A if an Eligible Executive’s receipt
of such payment or benefit is not delayed until the earlier of (i) the date of such Eligible Executive’s death or (ii) the date that is six months after such Eligible Executive’s Date of Termination (such date, the
“Section 409A Payment Date”), then such payment or benefit shall not be provided to such Eligible Executive (or such Eligible Executive’s estate, if applicable) until the Section 409A
Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under the Plan are exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A and in no event shall the Company or any of its Affiliates
be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by any Eligible Executive on account of non-compliance with Section 409A. 


 

	 	(k)	 Governing Law. All questions arising with respect to the provisions of the Plan and payments due
hereunder will be determined by application of the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any conflict of law provisions thereof, except to the extent preempted by federal law (including ERISA, which is the federal law that governs
the Plan, the administration of the Plan and any claims made under the Plan). 


  

	 	(l)	 Status. The Plan is intended to qualify for the exemptions under Title I of ERISA provided for plans
that are unfunded and maintained primarily for the purpose of providing benefits for a select group of management or highly compensated employees. 


  

	 	(m)	 Third-Party Beneficiaries. Each Affiliate of the Company shall be a third-party beneficiary of the
Eligible Executive’s covenants and obligations under Sections 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 and shall be entitled to enforce such obligations as if a party hereto. 


  


	 	(n)	 No Right to Continued Employment. The adoption and maintenance of the Plan shall not be deemed to be a
contract of employment between the Company or any of its Affiliates and any person, or to have any impact whatsoever on the at-will employment relationship between the Company or any of its Affiliates and the
Eligible Executives. Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give any person the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any of its Affiliates for any period of time or to restrict the right of the Company or any of its Affiliates to
terminate the employment of any person at any time. 


  

	 	(o)	 Title and Headings; Construction. Titles and headings to Sections hereof are for the purpose of
reference only and shall in no way limit, define or otherwise affect the provisions hereof. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references herein to laws, regulations, contracts, documents, agreements and instruments refer to such laws,
regulations, contracts, documents, agreements and instruments as they may be amended from time to time, and references to particular provisions of laws or regulations include a 



  
 20 













	 	
reference to the corresponding provisions of any succeeding law or regulation. The word “or” as used herein is not exclusive and is deemed to have the meaning “and/or.” The
words “herein”, “hereof”, “hereunder” and other compounds of the word “here” shall refer to the entire Plan, and not to any particular provision hereof. Wherever the context so requires, the masculine gender
includes the feminine or neuter, and the singular number includes the plural and conversely. The use herein of the word “including” following any general statement, term or matter shall not be construed to limit such statement, term or
matter to the specific items or matters set forth immediately following such word or to similar items or matters, whether or not non-limiting language (such as “without limitation”, “but not
limited to”, or words of similar import) is used with reference thereto, but rather shall be deemed to refer to all other items or matters that could reasonably fall within the broadest possible scope of such general statement, term or matter.
Neither the Plan nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved against any party hereto, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, the Plan has been reviewed by each of the parties hereto and
shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to fairly accomplish the purposes and intentions of the parties hereto. 


 

	 	(p)	 Overpayment. If, due to mistake or any other reason, a person receives severance payments or benefits
under the Plan in excess of what the Plan provides, such person shall repay the overpayment to the Company in a lump sum within 30 days of notice of the amount of overpayment. If such person fails to so repay the overpayment, then without limiting
any other remedies available to the Company, the Company may deduct the amount of the overpayment from any other amounts which become payable to such person under the Plan or otherwise. 



 

	 	(q)	 Clawback. Any amounts payable under the Plan are subject to any policy (whether in existence as of the
Effective Date or later adopted) established by the Company providing for clawback or recovery of amounts that were paid to the Eligible Executive. The Company will make any determination for clawback or recovery in its sole discretion and in
accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and securities exchange listing standards.

administrator, at the following address: Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, c/o BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc., 6811 Benjamin Franklin Drive, Columbia, Maryland 21046.
