 RECITALS: 

WHEREAS, the Company employs Employee and desires to provide Employee with certain bonuses payable as described herein; and

 WHEREAS, the Company and Employee desire to set forth their understandings with respect to the matters described
herein. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties, and agreements
contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 
 RETENTION BONUS 

1.1 Retention Bonus». Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein, Employee shall be
eligible to receive cash payments (the “Cash Payments”) totaling $150,000 (the “Total Bonus Amount”) pursuant to the Plan to be vested as follows: (i) a Cash Payment equaling 30% of the Total
Bonus Amount shall be vested on the date that is the six (6) month anniversary of the Effective Date; (ii) a Cash Payment equaling 30% of the Total Bonus Amount shall be vested on the date that is the twelve (12) month anniversary of
the Effective Date; and (iii) a Cash Payment equaling 40% of the Total Bonus Amount shall be vested on the date that is the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Retention Bonus Period” and
each vesting date, a “Vesting Date”). Each Cash Payment shall be paid on the first business day following the date that the Release becomes effective and irrevocable following the applicable Vesting Date. Employee shall only
receive a Cash Payment if Employee is in current service to the Company on the date such Cash Payment is to be paid; provided, however, that, if Employee is terminated by the Company Without Cause, or Employee terminates his or her
employment with the Company for Good Reason, and in either case such termination constitutes an “involuntary separation from service” within the meaning of the regulations under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (“Section 409A”), the Company shall pay Employee all remaining Cash Payments to be paid to Employee pursuant to this Agreement within 10 days of the termination date. “Good Reason” has the meaning
given such term in the Plan. “Without Cause” has the meaning given such term in the Plan. 







 1.2 Payment». The Cash Payments shall be paid to
Employee in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices. 
 1.3 Death of
Employee». Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Employee dies following the Effective Date while in service to the Company as an employee, the remaining Cash Payments will be paid to Employee’s estate within ten (10) days of
Employee’s death. 
 1.4 Invention Assignment Agreement». As of the Effective Date,
Employee shall execute and deliver the Company’s Invention and Nondisclosure Agreement, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, if Employee has not already executed and delivered such agreement (whether already executed or to be
executed in connection herewith, the “INA”). 
 1.5 Release of
Claims». (a) Release on Effective Date. In connection with the execution of this Agreement, Employee shall execute and deliver and not revoke the Release and Acknowledgement Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit B.

 (b) Release on Date of Cash Payment. As a condition to Employee’s receipt of each Cash Payment, Employee
agrees to execute and deliver and not revoke a release, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, provided that such Release becomes effective and irrevocable no later than sixty (60) days following the Vesting Date (the
“Release Deadline”). The receipt of the Cash Payments will be subject to Employee’s continued compliance with this Agreement and the INA. If the Release does not become effective and irrevocable by the Release Deadline,
Employee will forfeit Employee’s rights to the applicable Cash Payment under this Agreement. Employee acknowledges and agrees that any material breach of this Agreement, the Release or of the INA, which breach has not been cured within ten
(10) days of written notice from the Company, shall entitle the Company immediately to cease providing the Cash Payments under this Agreement, recover any Cash Payments already provided to Employee under this Agreement, and to obtain damages.
