 Your employment with the Company shall commence on August 15, 2011 with an initial starting salary at a rate of $200,000 per year, which shall be payable in accordance with the Company’s
standard payroll procedures. In addition, you will be eligible to participate in a variable (“incentive”) compensation plan, targeted at 25% annually. This plan is subject to discretion based on individual performance against annual goals
upon which you and your manager agree in advance. This variable (“incentive”) compensation plan will be guaranteed for full payment through your first year anniversary. The Company will offer you a one-time Hiring Bonus of $100,000
(“Hiring Bonus”) where $50,000 shall be payable during the first regular payroll cycle following your date of hire and the remaining $50,000 of the Hiring Bonus will be payable in January 2012. Should you choose to leave the Company within
twenty-four (24) months following your start date, you agree to repay a pro-rated (on a monthly basis) portion of your Hiring Bonus. Subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee, you will be
granted an option to purchase 240,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock Option. The exercise price per share will be equal to the fair market value per share on the date the Option is granted or on your first day of employment, whichever is
later. You will vest in 20% of the Option shares after 12 months of continuous service, and the balance will vest in equal quarterly installments over the next 16 quarters of continuous service. The Option will be subject to the terms and conditions
applicable to options granted under the Company’s 2005 Stock Plan (the “Plan”), as described in the Plan and the applicable Stock Option Agreement. As a regular employee of the Company, you will also be eligible to participate in a
number of Company-sponsored benefits and programs, as may be established by the Company and in effect from time to time. The Company shall reimburse you with a one-time relocation allowance of $100,000. This will be payable in your first regular
paycheck, in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll procedures and maybe subject to repayment if you choose to leave the Company within one year of your original commencement date. Additionally, the Company shall approve agreed upon
expenses incurred by you in connection with relocating you and your family to California. Reimbursable expenses will be limited to two house hunting trips for two people (coach flight and rental car), reasonable moving and storage costs and
temporary housing for up to 150 days. 
 Please be advised that your employment with the Company will be
