	 	with the Company. The Executive also may serve on one or more for-profit boards of directors so long as such activities do not require more than 30 hours in aggregate per quarter

	 	4.1.1	 Termination for Death or Disability. The Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate
effective upon the date of the Executive’s death or “Complete Disability” (as defined in Section 4.5.1), provided, however, that this Section 4.1.1 shall in no way limit the Company’s obligations to provide such

	 	4.2	 Termination By The Executive. The Executive may terminate his employment with the Company at any time

	 	4.2.1	 Good Reason. The Executive may terminate his employment under this Agreement for “Good Reason”
(as defined below in Section 4.5.2) by delivery of written notice to the Company specifying the Good Reason relied upon by the Executive for such termination in accordance with the requirements of such section. 



 

	 	4.2.2	 Without Good Reason. The Executive may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for other
than Good Reason upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Executive gives written notice of termination to the Company, the Company may unilaterally accelerate the date of
termination and such acceleration shall not result in a termination by the Company for purposes of this Agreement. 


  

	 	4.3	 Termination by Mutual Agreement of the Parties. The Executive’s employment pursuant to this
Agreement may be terminated at any time upon a mutual agreement in writing of the Parties. Any such termination of employment shall have the consequences specified in such mutual agreement. 



 

	 	4.4	 Compensation to Executive Upon Termination. In connection with any termination of the Executive’s
employment for any reason, the Executive or the Executive’s estate, as applicable, shall be entitled to any amounts payable to the Executive or the Executive’s beneficiaries subject to and accordance with the terms of the Company’s
employee welfare benefit plans or policies (excluding any severance pay). 


  

	 	4.4.1	 With Cause or Without Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated by the Company
for Cause, or if the Executive terminates employment hereunder without Good Reason, or terminates due to Executive’s death or Complete Disability, or for any other reason other than due to a termination without Cause or Good Reason resignation,
the Company shall pay the Executive’s Base Salary, accrued but unpaid business expenses and accrued and unused vacation benefits earned through the date of termination at the rate in effect at the time of termination (the “Accrued
Amounts”), less standard deductions and withholdings. 


  

	 	4.4.2	 Without Cause or For Good Reason. 



 

	 	4.4.2.1	 Not in Connection with a Change in Control. If the Company terminates the Executive’s employment
without Cause or the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, and Section 4.4.2.2 below does not apply, the Company shall pay the Accrued Amounts subject to standard deductions and withholdings, to be paid as a lump sum no later
than thirty (30) days after the date of termination. In addition, subject to the limitations stated in this Agreement and upon the Executive’s furnishing to the Company an executed waiver and release of claims (in a form satisfactory to
the Company) (the “Release”) within the applicable time period set forth therein, but in no event later than forty-five days following termination of employment and permitting such Release to become effective in accordance
with its terms (the “Release Effective Date”), and subject to Executive continuing to comply with his obligations pursuant to the Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement (a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A) the
Executive shall be paid or entitled to receive, as applicable, the following: 



  
  

Page 4 of 24 













	 	(a)	 the equivalent of one (1) times the Executive’s annual Base Salary in effect at the time of
termination less standard deductions and withholdings, to be paid in a lump sum on the first regular payroll date following the Release Effective Date; 


  

	 	(b)	 the Executive shall be paid a pro-rated portion of his target Bonus
amount for the year of termination, if any such Bonus has been determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee to have been achieved in the ordinary course when determinations are made for all officers and employees of the Company based upon
the metrics associated with such Bonus (the “Bonus Determination Date”) (pro-rated based upon the portion of the calendar year that the Executive was employed by the Company), less
standard deductions and withholdings, to be paid as a lump sum within ten (10) days after the Bonus Determination Date, subject to any delay in payment required by Section 4.6 in connection with the Release Effective Date; and



  

	 	(c)	 in the event the Executive timely elects continued coverage under COBRA, the Company will pay the
Executive’s COBRA health insurance premium, including any amounts that Company paid for benefits to the qualifying family members of the Executive, following the date of termination up until the earlier of either (i) the end of twelve
(12) months following his termination date or, (ii) the date on which the Executive begins full-time employment with another company or business entity which offers comparable health insurance coverage to the Executive (such period, the
“Non Change in Control COBRA Payment Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the Company cannot provide the COBRA premium benefits without potentially incurring
financial costs or penalties under applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company shall in lieu thereof pay Executive a taxable cash amount, which payment shall be made regardless of
whether the Executive or his qualifying family members elect COBRA continuation coverage (the “Health Care Benefit Payment”). The Health Care Benefit Payment shall be paid in monthly or
bi-weekly installments on the same schedule that the COBRA premiums would otherwise have been paid to the insurer. The Health Care Benefit Payment shall be equal to the amount that the Company otherwise would
have paid for COBRA insurance premiums (which amount shall be calculated based on the premium for the first month of coverage), and shall be paid until the expiration of the Non Change in Control COBRA Payment Period. 



 

	 	4.4.2.2	 In Connection With a Change in Control. If the Company (or its successor) terminates the
Executive’s employment without Cause or the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason within the period commencing three (3) months immediately prior to a Change in Control of the Company and ending twelve (12) months
immediately following a Change in Control of the Company (as defined in Section 4.5.4 of this Agreement), the Executive shall receive the Accrued Amounts subject to standard deductions and withholdings, to be paid as a lump sum no later than
thirty (30) days after the date of termination. In addition, subject to the limitations stated in this Agreement and upon the Executive’s furnishing to the Company (or its successor) an executed Release within the applicable time period
set forth therein, but in no event later than forty-five days following termination of employment and permitting such Release to become effective in accordance with its terms, the Executive shall be entitled to: 



  
  

Page 5 of 24 













	 	(a)	 the equivalent of one (1) times the Executive’s annual Base Salary in effect at the time of
termination less standard deductions and withholdings, to be paid in a lump sum on the first regular payroll date following the Release Effective Date; 


  

	 	(b)	 (i) an amount equal to one (1) times the target Bonus for the year of termination, or if none, one
(1) times the last target Bonus in effect for Executive, less standard deductions and withholdings, to be paid in a lump sum on the first regular payroll date following the Release Effective Date, plus (ii) a
pro-rated portion of his target Bonus amount for the year of termination, if any, provided such Bonus has been determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee to have been achieved in the ordinary course
when determinations are made for all officers and employees of the Company based upon the metrics associated with such Bonus (the “Bonus Determination Date”) (pro-rated
based upon the portion of the calendar year that the Executive was employed by the Company), less standard deductions and withholdings, to be paid as a lump sum within ten (10) days after the Bonus Determination Date, subject to any delay in
payment required by Section 4.6 in connection with the Release Effective Date; and 


  

	 	(c)	 in the event the Executive timely elects continued coverage under COBRA, the Company will pay the
Executive’s COBRA health insurance premium, including any amounts that Company paid for benefits to the qualifying family members of the Executive, for the Change in Control Severance Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company
determines, in its sole discretion, that the Company cannot provide the COBRA premium benefits without potentially incurring financial costs or penalties under applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health
Service Act), the Company shall in lieu thereof pay Executive the Health Care Benefit Payment, which payment shall be made regardless of whether the Executive or his qualifying family members elect COBRA continuation coverage. The Health Care
Benefit Payment shall be paid in monthly or bi-weekly installments on the same schedule that the COBRA premiums would otherwise have been paid to the insurer. The Health Care Benefit Payment shall be equal to
the amount that the Company otherwise would have paid for COBRA insurance premiums (which amount shall be calculated based on the premium for the first month of coverage), and shall be paid until the expiration of the Change in Control Severance
Period. 


  

	 	4.4.2.3	 No Duplication of Benefits; Interpretation. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will Executive be
entitled to benefits under Section 4.4.2.1 and Section 4.4.2.2. If Executive commences to receive benefits under Section 4.4.2.1 due to a qualifying termination prior to a Change in Control and thereafter becomes entitled to benefits under
Section 4.4.2.2, any benefits provided to Executive under Section 4.4.2.1 shall offset the benefits to be provided to Executive under Section 4.4.2.2 and shall be deemed to have been provided to Executive pursuant to Section 4.4.2.2. In
all cases, any severance benefits provided for herein shall be calculated without giving effect to any reductions in compensation that would give rise to Executive’s right to resign for Good Reason.

	 	4.4.3	 Equity Award Acceleration. 



 

	 	4.4.3.1	 Not in Connection With a Change in Control. In the event that the Executive’s employment is
terminated without Cause or for Good Reason and Section 4.4.3.2 below does not apply, or in the event of the Executive’s Complete Disability or death, the vesting of any equity awards granted to Executive that vest solely subject to
Executive’s continued services to the Company (the “Time-Based Vesting Equity Awards”) shall be fully accelerated such that on the effective date of such termination one hundred percent (100%) of any
Time-Based Vesting Equity Awards granted to Executive prior to such termination shall be fully vested and immediately exercisable, if applicable, by the Executive. Treatment of any performance based vesting equity awards will be governed solely by
the terms of the agreements under which such awards were granted and will not be eligible to accelerate vesting pursuant to the foregoing provision. 


  

	 	4.4.3.2	 In Connection With a Change in Control. In the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated
without Cause or for Good Reason within the three (3) months immediately preceding or during the twelve (12) months immediately following a Change in Control of the Company (as defined in Section 4.5.4 of this Agreement), the vesting
of any Time-Based Vesting Equity Awards shall be fully accelerated such that on the effective date of such termination (or if later, the date of the Change in Control) one hundred percent (100%) of any Time-Based Vesting Equity Awards granted to
Executive prior to such termination shall be fully vested and immediately exercisable, if applicable, by the Executive. Treatment of any performance based vesting equity awards will be governed solely by the terms of the agreements under which such
awards were granted and will not be eligible to accelerate vesting pursuant to the foregoing provision. 


  

	 	4.4.3.3	 Release and Waiver. Any equity vesting acceleration pursuant to this Section 4.4.3 shall be conditioned
upon and subject to delivery by the Executive (or in the case of Executive’s death, the executor of Executive’s estate, or in the case of Executive’s Complete Disability wherein Executive lacks the capacity to act on his own behalf,
Executive’s legal representative) to the Company of a fully effective Release in accordance with the terms specified by Section 4.4.3 hereof and such vesting acceleration benefit shall be in addition to the benefits provided by
Section 4.4.2 hereof. 


  

	 	4.5	 Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:



  

	 	4.5.1	 “Complete Disability” shall mean the inability of the Executive to perform the
Executive’s duties under this Agreement, whether with or without reasonable accommodation, because the Executive has become permanently disabled within the meaning of any policy of disability income insurance covering employees of the Company
then in force. In the event the Company has no policy of disability income insurance covering employees of the Company in force when the Executive becomes disabled, the term “Complete Disability” shall mean the inability of the Executive
to perform the Executive’s duties under this Agreement, whether with or without reasonable accommodation, by reason of any incapacity, physical or mental, which the Board, based upon medical advice or an opinion provided by a licensed
physician, determines to have incapacitated the Executive from satisfactorily performing all of the Executive’s usual services for the Company, with or without reasonable accommodation, for a period of at least one hundred eighty
(180) days during any twelve (12) month period that need not be consecutive. 


  

	 	4.5.2	 “Good Reason” for the Executive to terminate the Executive’s employment
hereunder shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events without the Executive’s consent: (i) a material adverse change in the Executive’s title or a material reduction in the Executive’s duties, authority, or
responsibilities relative to the duties, authority, or responsibilities in effect immediately prior to such reduction,; (ii) the relocation of the Executive’s primary 



  
  

Page 7 of 24 













	 	work location to a point more than fifty (50) miles from the Executive’s current work location set forth in Section 1.4; (iii) a reduction by the Company of the Executive’s base salary or annual
target Bonus opportunity, without the written consent of the Executive, as initially set forth herein or as the same may be increased from time to time pursuant to this Agreement, except for across-the-board salary reductions implemented prior to a Change in Control which are implemented based on the Company’s financial performance and similarly affecting all or substantially all senior
management employees of the Company; and (iv) a material breach by the Company of the terms of this Agreement. Provided, however that, such termination by the Executive shall only be deemed for Good Reason pursuant to the foregoing definition
if (i) the Company is given written notice from the Executive within sixty (60) days following the occurrence of the condition that he considers to constitute Good Reason describing the condition and the Company fails to satisfactorily
remedy such condition within thirty (30) days following such written notice, and (ii) the Executive terminates employment within thirty (30) days following the end of the period within which the Company was entitled to remedy the
condition constituting Good Reason but failed to do so. 

  

	 	4.5.3	 “Cause” for the Company to terminate Executive’s employment hereunder shall
mean the occurrence of any of the following events, as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Board or a committee designated by the Board: (i) the Executive’s gross negligence or willful failure to substantially perform his duties
and responsibilities to the Company or willful and deliberate violation of a Company policy; (ii) the Executive’s conviction of a felony or the Executive’s commission of any act of fraud, embezzlement or dishonesty against the Company
or involving moral turpitude that is likely to inflict or has inflicted material injury on the business of the Company, ; (iii) the Executive’s unauthorized use or disclosure of any proprietary information or trade secrets of the Company or any
other party that the Executive owes an obligation of nondisclosure as a result of the Executive’s relationship with the Company; and (iv) the Executive’s willful and deliberate breach of this Agreement that causes or could reasonably
be expected to cause material injury to the business of the Company. 


  

	 	4.5.4	 For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” means: (i) a sale of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (ii) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity and in which the holders of the Company’s outstanding voting stock immediately prior to such transaction
own, immediately after such transaction, securities representing less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the entity surviving such transaction or, where the surviving entity is a wholly-owned subsidiary of another entity, the surviving
entity’s parent; (iii) a reverse merger in which the Company is the surviving entity but the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form
of securities of the surviving entity’s parent, cash or otherwise, and in which the holders of the Company’s outstanding voting stock immediately prior to such transaction own, immediately after such transaction, securities representing
less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Company or, where the Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of another entity, the Company’s parent; or (iv) an acquisition by any person, entity or group (excluding any employee
benefit plan, or related trust, sponsored or maintained by the Company or subsidiary of the Company or other entity controlled by the Company) of the beneficial ownership of securities of the Company representing at least seventy-five percent (75%)
of the combined voting power entitled to vote in the election of Directors; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall apply to a sale of assets, merger or other transaction effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile
of the Company.

	 	4.6	 Application of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth herein, any payments and benefits provided under this Agreement (the “Severance Benefits”) that constitute “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the regulations and other guidance thereunder and any state law of similar effect (collectively
“Section 409A”) shall not commence in connection with Executive’s termination of employment unless and until Executive has also incurred a “separation from service” (as such
term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) (“Separation From Service”), unless the Company reasonably determines that such amounts may be provided to Executive without
causing Executive to incur the additional 20% tax under Section 409A. 


 It is intended that each installment of the
Severance Benefits payments provided for in this Agreement is a separate “payment” for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(i). For the avoidance of doubt, it is intended that
payments of the Severance Benefits set forth in this Agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulation Sections
1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-1(b)(5) and 1.409A-1(b)(9). However, if the Company (or, if applicable, the successor entity thereto)
determines that the Severance Benefits constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A and Executive is, on the termination of service, a “specified employee” of the Company or any successor entity thereto, as such
term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of the Severance Benefit payments shall be
delayed until the earlier to occur of: (i) the date that is six months and one day after Executive’s Separation From Service, or (ii) the date of Executive’s death (such applicable date, the “Specified Employee Initial
Payment Date”), the Company (or the successor entity thereto, as applicable) shall (A) pay to Executive a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the Severance Benefit payments that Executive would otherwise have received through the
Specified Employee Initial Payment Date if the commencement of the payment of the Severance Benefits had not been so delayed pursuant to this Section and (B) commence paying the balance of the Severance Benefits in accordance with the
applicable payment schedules set forth in this Agreement. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Executive shall
receive the Severance Benefits described above, if and only if Executive duly executes and returns to the Company within the applicable time period set forth therein, but in no event more than forty-five days following Separation From Service, a
Release and permits the release of claims contained therein to become effective in accordance with its terms (such latest permitted date, the “Release Deadline”). If the severance benefits are not covered by one or more
exemptions from the application of Section 409A and the Release could become effective in the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive separates from service, the Release will not be deemed effective any earlier than the
Release Deadline. Notwithstanding any other payment schedule set forth in this Agreement, none of the Severance Benefits will be paid or otherwise delivered prior to the effective date (or deemed effective date) of the Release. Except to the extent
that payments may be delayed until the Specified Employee Initial Payment Date pursuant to the preceding paragraph, on the first regular payroll pay day following the effective date of the Release, the Company will pay Executive the Severance
Benefits Executive would otherwise have received under the Agreement on or prior to such date but for the delay in payment related to the effectiveness of the Release, with the balance of the Severance Benefits being paid as originally scheduled.

 The severance benefits are intended to qualify for an exemption from application of Section 409A or comply with its requirements to
the extent necessary to avoid adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein shall be interpreted accordingly.

	 	4.7	 Application of Internal Revenue Code Section 280G. If any payment or benefit
Executive would receive pursuant to a Change in Control from the Company or otherwise (“Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and
(ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be either
(x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all
applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the
greater economic benefit notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced
Amount, reduction shall occur in the manner that results in the greatest economic benefit for Executive. If more than one method of reduction will result in the same economic benefit, the items so reduced will be reduced pro rata.



 In the event it is subsequently determined by the Internal Revenue Service that some portion of the Reduced Amount as
determined pursuant to clause (x) in the preceding paragraph is subject to the Excise Tax, Executive agrees to promptly return to the Company a sufficient amount of the Payment so that no portion of the Reduced Amount is subject to the Excise
Tax. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Reduced Amount is determined pursuant to clause (y) in the preceding paragraph, Executive will have no obligation to return any portion of the Payment pursuant to the preceding sentence. 

Unless Executive and the Company agree on an alternative accounting firm, the accounting firm engaged by the Company for general tax compliance
purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of the Change in Control shall perform the foregoing calculations. If the accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting
the Change in Control, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be
made hereunder. 
 The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the accounting firm engaged to make the determinations
hereunder to provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to Executive and the Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which Executive’s right to a Payment is triggered (if requested at
that time by Executive or the Company) or such other time as requested by Executive or the Company. 
  

	 	4.8	 Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement. The Executive shall execute the Company’s
Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement the terms of which shall govern the terms of Executive’s employment, and a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A. 



 

	 	4.9	 No Mitigation or Offset. The Executive shall not be required to seek or accept other employment, or
otherwise to mitigate damages, as a condition to receipt of the Severance Benefits, and the Severance Benefits shall not be offset by any amounts received by the Executive from any other source, except to the extent that the Executive’s rights
to the benefits described in Sections 4.4.2.1 or 4.4.2.2, as applicable, are terminated by reason of the Executive obtaining full-time employment with another company or business entity which offers comparable health insurance coverage.



  

	 	5.	 Assignment and Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Executive and the Company and
inure to the benefit of the Executive and the Executive’s heirs, executors, personal representatives, assigns, administrators and legal representatives. Because of the unique and personal nature of the Executive’s duties under this

inventions that: (i) relate to the employer’s business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (ii) result from any work performed by the employee for the employer. To the extent a provision in an employment

employees to agree to an agreement within the scope of Subsection (2) as a condition of employment or the continuation of employment. 
 (7) An employer
may not require his employees to agree to anything unenforceable under Subsection (1) as a condition of employment or the continuation of employment. 

(8) Nothing in this chapter invalidates or renders unenforceable any employment agreement or provisions of an employment agreement unrelated to employment
inventions. 
 If I am employed by the Company in the State of Washington, the following provision applies: 

Washington Statute 49:44.140 
 (1) A provision in an
employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign or offer to assign any of the employee’s rights in an invention to the employer does not apply to an invention for which no equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret
information of the employer was used and which was developed entirely on the employee’s own time, unless (a) the invention relates (i) directly to the business of the employer, or (ii) to the employer’s actual or
demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (b) the invention results from any work performed by the employee for the employer. Any provision which purports to apply to such an invention is to that extent against the public policy of
this state and is to that extent void and unenforceable. 
 (2) An employer shall not require a provision made void and unenforceable by subsection
(1) of this section as a condition of employment or continuing employment. 
 (3) If an employment agreement entered into after September 1, 1979,
contains a provision requiring the employee to assign any of the employee’s rights in any invention to the employer, the employer must also, at the time the agreement is made, provide a written notification to the employee that the agreement
does not apply to an invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility, or trade secret information of the employer was used and which was developed entirely on the employee’s own time, unless (a) the invention relates (i) directly
to the business of the employer, or (ii) to the employer’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (b) the invention results from any work performed by the employee for the employer. 

If I am employed by the Company in the State of Wisconsin, the following provision applies: 

In accordance with Wisconsin law, this Agreement does not obligate me to assign or offer to assign to the Company any of my rights in any invention I have
developed entirely on my own time without using Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, trade secret information or Confidential Information. Provided, however, Company shall own inventions that either; (i) relate, at the time of the
conception or reduction to practice, to Company’s activities or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development; or (ii) result from any work I performed for Company. I will advise Company promptly in writing of any inventions I
believe should be an exception to this Agreement.
