EX-10.1



 Exhibit 10.1 

AMENDED AND RESTATED SEVERANCE AGREEMENT 

This Amended and Restated Severance Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of February 18, 2014, between Terreno Realty
Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and W. Blake Baird (the “Executive”). 
 WHEREAS, the parties
hereto are parties to that certain Severance Agreement, dated as of February 16, 2010, which the parties hereto desire to amend and restate in its entirety as set forth herein; and 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to employ the Executive and to provide the Executive with certain severance protection and the
Executive desires to continue to be employed by the Company on the terms contained herein. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual
covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 

1. Term. The term of this Agreement shall extend from the date first written above (the “Commencement Date”) until the third
anniversary of the Commencement Date. The Agreement shall be automatically extended for an additional one-year period beginning on the third anniversary of the Commencement Date and each anniversary thereof unless, not less than 90 days prior to
each such date, either party shall have given notice to the other that it does not wish to extend this Agreement. 
 2. Termination.
During the term of this Agreement, the Executive’s employment with the Company may be terminated without any breach of this Agreement under the following circumstances: 

(a) Death. The Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon his death. 

(b) Disability. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment if he is disabled and unable to perform the essential
functions of the Executive’s then existing position or positions under this Agreement with or without reasonable accommodation for a period of 180 days (which need not be consecutive) in any 12-month period. If any question shall arise as to
whether during any period the Executive is disabled so as to be unable to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s then existing position or positions with or without reasonable accommodation, the Executive may, and at the request of
the Company shall, submit to the Company a certification in reasonable detail by a physician selected by the Company to whom the Executive or the Executive’s guardian has no reasonable objection as to whether the Executive is so disabled or how
long such disability is expected to continue, and such certification shall for the purposes of this Agreement be conclusive of the issue. The Executive shall cooperate with any reasonable request of the physician in connection with such
certification. If such question shall 







 
arise and the Executive shall fail to submit such certification, the Company’s determination of such issue shall be binding on the Executive. Nothing in this Section 2(b) shall be
construed to waive the Executive’s rights, if any, under existing law including, without limitation, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 29 U.S.C. §2601 et seq. and the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §12101
et seq. 
 (c) Termination by Company for Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause
by a vote of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: (i) conduct by the Executive constituting a material act of misconduct in connection with the
performance of his duties, including, without limitation, misappropriation of funds or property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates other than the occasional, customary and de minimis use of Company property for personal
purposes; (ii) the commission by the Executive of any felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, deceit, dishonesty or fraud, or any conduct by the Executive that would reasonably be expected to result in material injury or reputational
harm to the Company or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates if he were retained in his position; (iii) continued non-performance by the Executive of his duties hereunder (other than by reason of the Executive’s physical or mental
illness, incapacity or disability) which has continued for more than 30 days following written notice of such non-performance from the Board; (iv) a breach by the Executive of any of the provisions contained in Section 5 of this Agreement;
(v) a material violation by the Executive of the Company’s written employment policies, or (vi) failure to cooperate with a bona fide internal investigation or an investigation by regulatory or law enforcement authorities, after being
instructed by the Company to cooperate, or the willful destruction or failure to preserve documents or other materials known to be relevant to such investigation or the inducement of others to fail to cooperate or to produce documents or other
materials in connection with such investigation. 
 (d) Termination Without Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s
employment hereunder at any time without Cause. Any termination by the Company of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement which does not constitute a termination for Cause under Section 2(c) and does not result from the death or
disability of the Executive under Section 2(a) or (b) shall be deemed a termination without Cause. A notice by the Company of non-renewal of this Agreement shall not be construed as a termination without Cause. 

(e) Termination by the Executive. The Executive may terminate his employment hereunder at any time for any reason, including but not
limited to Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean that the Executive has complied with the “Good Reason Process” (hereinafter defined) following the occurrence of any of the following events:
(i) a material diminution in the Executive’s responsibilities, authority or duties; (ii) a material diminution in the Executive’s Base Salary except for across-the-board salary reductions based on the Company’s financial
performance similarly affecting all or substantially all senior management employees of the Company; (iii) a material change in the geographic location at which the Executive provides services to the Company; or (iv) the material breach of
this Agreement by the Company. “Good Reason Process” shall mean that (i) the Executive reasonably determines in good faith that a “Good Reason” condition has occurred; (ii) the Executive notifies the Company in writing
of the first occurrence of the Good Reason condition within 60 days of the first occurrence of such condition; (iii) the Executive cooperates in good faith with the Company’s 

  
 2 








 
efforts, for a period not less than 30 days following such notice (the “Cure Period”), to remedy the condition; (iv) notwithstanding such efforts, the Good Reason condition
continues to exist; and (v) the Executive terminates his employment within 60 days after the end of the Cure Period. If the Company cures the Good Reason condition during the Cure Period, Good Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred. 

(f) Notice of Termination. Except for termination as specified in Section 2(a), any termination of the Executive’s employment
by the Company or any such termination by the Executive shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate
the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon. 
 (g) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall
mean: (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by his death, the date of his death; (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated on account of disability under Section 2(b) or by the Company for Cause under
Section 2(c), the date on which Notice of Termination is given; (iii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company under Section 2(d), 30 days after the date on which a Notice of Termination is given; (iv) if
the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive under Section 2(e) without Good Reason, 30 days after the date on which a Notice of Termination is given, and (v) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the
Executive under Section 2(e) with Good Reason, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given after the end of the Cure Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Executive gives a 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. 

3. Compensation Upon Termination. 

(a) Termination Generally. If the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, the Company shall pay or
provide to the Executive (or to his authorized representative or estate) any earned but unpaid base salary, incentive compensation earned but not yet paid, unpaid expense reimbursements, accrued but unused vacation and any vested benefits the
Executive may have under any employee benefit plan of the Company (the “Accrued Benefit”) on or before the time required by law but in no event more than 30 days after the Executive’s Date of Termination. 

(b) Termination of Employment by Reason of Death or Disability. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company under
Section 2(a) by reason of death or disability under Section 2(b), then the Company shall through the Date of Termination, pay the Executive his Accrued Benefit. In addition, 

(i) subject to the Executive (in case of disability only) signing a general release of claims in favor of the Company and
related persons and entities in a form and manner satisfactory to the Company (the “Release”) within the 21-day period following the Date of Termination and the expiration of the seven-day revocation period for the Release, the Company
shall pay the Executive, or his estate, as the case may be, a lump sum amount equal to the target value of each of his outstanding performance equity awards 

  
 3 








 
under the Company’s long-term incentive compensation program with a performance measurement period that has not ended as of the Date of Termination. Such amount shall be paid on the first
payroll date that occurs at least 30 days after the Date of Termination; 
 (ii) upon the Date of Termination, all time-based
restricted stock awards held by the Executive shall vest and become nonforfeitable. 
 (c) Termination by the Company Without Cause or by
the Executive with Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause as provided in Section 2(d), or the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason as provided in Section 2(e), then the
Company shall, through the Date of Termination, pay the Executive his Accrued Benefit. In addition: 
 (i) subject to the
Executive signing the Release within the 21-day period following the Date of Termination and the expiration of the seven-day revocation period for the Release, the Company shall pay the Executive an amount equal to one times the sum of (A) the
Executive’s Base Salary and (B) the amount of the target value for each of his outstanding performance equity awards under the Company’s long-term incentive compensation program with a performance measurement period that has not ended
as of the Date of Termination (the “Severance Amount”). If such termination occurs within 12 months after a Change in Control, the Severance Amount shall be two (2) times the sum of (A) the Executive’s Base Salary and
(B) the greater of the target value or the calculated value as of the date upon which a Change in Control occurred (the “Change in Control Date”) for each of his outstanding performance equity awards as of the Change in Control Date
under the Company’s long-term incentive program with a performance measurement period that had not ended as of the Change in Control Date, with the Change in Control Date being deemed the last day of the performance measurement period. In the
case of such a Change in Control, the calculated value of each such outstanding equity performance award under the Company’s long-term incentive program shall be determined, if applicable, using a Closing Stock Price (as defined under the
Company’s long-term incentive program) that is equal to the fair market value, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, of the total consideration paid or payable in the transaction resulting in the
Change of Control for one share of common stock of the Company. The Severance Amount shall be paid out in a lump sum on the first payroll date that occurs at least 30 days after the Date of Termination; and 

(ii) upon the Date of Termination, all time-based restricted stock awards held by the Executive shall vest and become
nonforfeitable; and 
 (iii) subject to the Executive’s copayment of premium amounts at the active employees’ rate,
the Executive may continue to participate in the Company’s group health, dental and vision program for 18 months; provided, however, that the continuation of health benefits under this Section shall reduce and count against the Executive’s
rights under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”). 

  
 4 








 (d) Additional Limitation. 

(i) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the amount of any compensation, payment or
distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, calculated in a manner consistent with Section 280G of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the applicable regulations thereunder (the “Severance Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, the following provisions
shall apply: 
 (A) If the Severance Payments, reduced by the sum of (1) the Excise Tax and (2) the total of the
Federal, state, and local income and employment taxes payable by the Executive on the amount of the Severance Payments which are in excess of the Threshold Amount, are greater than or equal to the Threshold Amount, the Executive shall be entitled to
the full benefits payable under this Agreement. 
 (B) If the Threshold Amount is less than (x) the Severance Payments,
but greater than (y) the Severance Payments reduced by the sum of (1) the Excise Tax and (2) the total of the Federal, state, and local income and employment taxes on the amount of the Severance Payments which are in excess of the
Threshold Amount, then the Severance Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the extent necessary so that the sum of all Severance Payments shall not exceed the Threshold Amount. In such event, the Severance Payments shall be reduced in
the following order: (1) cash payments not subject to Section 409A of the Code; (2) cash payments subject to Section 409A of the Code; (3) equity-based payments and acceleration; and (4) non-cash forms of benefits. To
the extent any payment is to be made over time (e.g., in installments, etc.), then the payments shall be reduced in reverse chronological order. 

(ii) For the purposes of this Section 3(d), “Threshold Amount” shall mean three times the Executive’s
“base amount” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder less one dollar ($1.00); and “Excise Tax” shall mean the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, and
any interest or penalties incurred by the Executive with respect to such excise tax. 
 (iii) The determination as to which
of the alternative provisions of this Section 3(d) shall apply to the Executive shall be made by a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall provide detailed supporting
calculations both to the Company and the Executive within 15 business days of the Date of Termination, if applicable, or at such earlier time as is reasonably requested by the Company or the Executive. For purposes of determining which of the
alternative provisions of this Section 3(d) shall apply, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation applicable to individuals for the calendar year in which the
determination is to be made, and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rates of individual taxation in the state and locality of the Executive’s residence on the Date of Termination, net of the maximum


  
 5 








 
reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the
Executive. 
 (e) Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings: 

“Change in Control” shall mean any of the following: 

(i) any “person,” as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Act”) (other than the Company, any of its subsidiaries, or any trustee, fiduciary or other person or entity holding securities under any employee benefit plan or trust of the Company or any of its subsidiaries), together with
all “affiliates” and “associates” (as such terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Act) of such person, shall become the “beneficial owner” (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act), directly or
indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 40 percent or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities having the right to vote in an election of the Board (“Voting Securities”) (in such
case other than as a result of an acquisition of securities directly from the Company); or 
 (ii) the date a majority of the
members of the Board is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board before the date of the appointment or election; or 

(iii) the consummation of (A) any consolidation or merger of the Company where the stockholders of the Company,
immediately prior to the consolidation or merger, would not, immediately after the consolidation or merger, beneficially own (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act), directly or indirectly, shares representing in the aggregate more
than 50 percent of the voting shares of the Company issuing cash or securities in the consolidation or merger (or of its ultimate parent corporation, if any), or (B) any sale or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of transactions
contemplated or arranged by any party as a single plan) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a “Change in Control” shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the foregoing clause (i) solely as the result of an acquisition of securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of shares of Voting
Securities outstanding, increases the proportionate number of Voting Securities beneficially owned by any person to 40 percent or more of the combined voting power of all of the then outstanding Voting Securities; provided, however, that if any
person referred to in this sentence shall thereafter become the beneficial owner of any additional shares of Voting Securities (other than pursuant to a stock split, stock dividend, or similar transaction or as a result of an acquisition of
securities directly from the Company) and immediately thereafter beneficially owns 40 percent or more of the combined voting power of all of the then outstanding Voting Securities, then a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have
occurred for purposes of the foregoing clause (i). 

  
 6 








 4. Section 409A. 

(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of the Executive’s separation from service within the
meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Company determines that the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that the Executive
becomes entitled to under this Agreement on account of the Executive’s separation from service would be considered deferred compensation subject to the 20 percent additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result
of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six months and one day after the Executive’s separation
from service, or (B) the Executive’s death. If any such delayed cash payment is otherwise payable on an installment basis, the first payment shall include a catch-up payment covering amounts that would otherwise have been paid during the
six-month period but for the application of this provision, and the balance of the installments shall be payable in accordance with their original schedule. 

(b) To the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Agreement constitutes “non-qualified deferred compensation” under
Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable upon the Executive’s termination of employment, then such payments or benefits shall be payable only upon the Executive’s “separation from
service.” The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). 

(c) The parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any
provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code. The parties agree that this
Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder
without additional cost to either party. 
 (d) The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Executive
or any other person if any provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section. 

5. Confidential Information, Nonsolicitation and Cooperation. 

(a) Confidential Information. As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means information belonging to the
Company which is of value to the Company in the course of conducting its business and the disclosure of which could result in a competitive or other disadvantage to the Company. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, financial
information, reports, and forecasts; inventions, improvements and other intellectual property; trade secrets; know-how; designs, processes or formulae; software; market or sales information or plans; customer
lists; and business plans, prospects and opportunities (such as possible acquisitions or dispositions of businesses or facilities) which have been discussed or considered by the management of the Company. Confidential Information includes
information 

  
 7 








 
developed by the Executive in the course of the Executive’s employment by the Company, as well as other information to which the Executive may have access in connection with the
Executive’s employment. Confidential Information also includes the confidential information of others with which the Company has a business relationship. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include information in
the public domain, unless due to breach of the Executive’s duties under Section 5(b). 
 (b) Confidentiality. The Executive
understands and agrees that the Executive’s employment creates a relationship of confidence and trust between the Executive and the Company with respect to all Confidential Information. At all times, both during the Executive’s employment
with the Company and after its termination, the Executive will keep in confidence and trust all such Confidential Information, and will not use or disclose any such Confidential Information without the written consent of the Company, except as may
be necessary in the ordinary course of performing the Executive’s duties to the Company. 
 (c) Documents, Records, etc. All
documents, records, data, apparatus, equipment and other physical property, whether or not pertaining to Confidential Information, which are furnished to the Executive by the Company or are produced by the Executive in connection with the
Executive’s employment will be and remain the sole property of the Company. The Executive will return to the Company all such materials and property as and when requested by the Company. In any event, the Executive will return all such
materials and property immediately upon termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason. The Executive will not retain with the Executive any such material or property or any copies thereof after such termination. 

(d) Nonsolicitation. During the Executive’s employment with the Company and for 12 months thereafter, regardless of the reason for
the termination, the Executive (i) will refrain from directly or indirectly employing, attempting to employ, recruiting or otherwise soliciting, inducing or influencing any person to leave employment with the Company (other than terminations of
employment of subordinate employees undertaken in the course of the Executive’s employment with the Company); and (ii) will refrain from soliciting or encouraging any customer or supplier to terminate or otherwise modify adversely its
business relationship with the Company. The Executive understands that the restrictions set forth in this Section 5(d) are intended to protect the Company’s interest in its Confidential Information and established employee, customer and
supplier relationships and goodwill, and agrees that such restrictions are reasonable and appropriate for this purpose. 
 (e)
Third-Party Agreements and Rights. The Executive hereby confirms that the Executive is not bound by the terms of any agreement with any previous employer or other party which restricts in any way the Executive’s use or disclosure of
information or the Executive’s engagement in any business. The Executive represents to the Company that the Executive’s execution of this Agreement, the Executive’s employment with the Company and the performance of the
Executive’s proposed duties for the Company will not violate any obligations the Executive may have to any such previous employer or other party. In the Executive’s work for the Company, the Executive will not disclose or make use of any
information in violation of any agreements with or rights of any such previous employer or other party, and the Executive will not bring to the premises of the Company any copies or other tangible embodiments of non-public information belonging to
or obtained from any such previous employment or other party. 

  
 8 








 (f) Litigation and Regulatory Cooperation. During and after the Executive’s
employment, the Executive shall cooperate fully with the Company in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Company which relate to events or occurrences
that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company. The Executive’s full cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to prepare for discovery or
trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Company at mutually convenient times. During and after the Executive’s employment, the Executive also shall cooperate fully with the Company in connection with any investigation or review of any
federal, state or local regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Executive’s performance of obligations pursuant to this Section 5(f). 

(g) Injunction. The Executive agrees that it would be difficult to measure any damages caused to the Company which might result from
any breach by the Executive of the promises set forth in this Section 5, and that in any event money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, subject to Section 6 of this Agreement, the Executive agrees that
if the Executive breaches, or proposes to breach, any portion of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies that it may have, to an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain any such breach
without showing or proving any actual damage to the Company. 
 6. Arbitration of Disputes. Any controversy or claim arising out of
or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof or otherwise arising out of the Executive’s employment or the termination of that employment (including, without limitation, any claims of unlawful employment discrimination whether based on
age or otherwise) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be settled by arbitration in any forum and form agreed upon by the parties or, in the absence of such an agreement, under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association
(“AAA”) in San Francisco, California in accordance with the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the AAA, including, but not limited to, the rules and procedures applicable to the selection of arbitrators. In the event that any person or
entity other than the Executive or the Company may be a party with regard to any such controversy or claim, such controversy or claim shall be submitted to arbitration subject to such other person or entity’s agreement. Judgment upon the award
rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. This Section 6 shall be specifically enforceable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6 shall not preclude either party from pursuing a court
action for the sole purpose of obtaining a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction in circumstances in which such relief is appropriate; provided that any other relief shall be pursued through an arbitration proceeding pursuant to
this Section 6. 
 7. Consent to Jurisdiction. To the extent that any court action is permitted consistent with or to enforce
Section 6 of this Agreement, the parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the Superior Court of the State of California and the United States District Court for the District of 

  
 9 








 
California. Accordingly, with respect to any such court action, the Executive (a) submits to the personal jurisdiction of such courts; (b) consents to service of process; and
(c) waives any other requirement (whether imposed by statute, rule of court, or otherwise) with respect to personal jurisdiction or service of process. 

8. Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior agreements between the parties concerning such subject matter. 
 9. Withholding. All payments made by the
Company to the Executive under this Agreement shall be net of any tax or other amounts required to be withheld by the Company under applicable law. 

10. Successor to the Executive. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal
representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. In the event of the Executive’s death after his termination of employment but prior to the completion by the Company of all payments due him under this
Agreement, the Company shall continue such payments to the Executive’s beneficiary designated in writing to the Company prior to his death (or to his estate, if the Executive fails to make such designation). 

11. Enforceability. If any portion or provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any portion or provision of any
section of this Agreement) shall to any extent be declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to
which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 

12. Survival. The provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the termination of the
Executive’s employment to the extent necessary to effectuate the terms contained herein. 
 13. Waiver. No waiver of any
provision hereof shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party. The failure of any party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement,
shall not prevent any subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach. 
 14.
Notices. Any notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and delivered in person or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service or by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Executive at the last address the Executive has filed in writing with the Company or, in the case of the Company, at its main offices, attention of the Board. 

15. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by the Executive and by a duly authorized
representative of the Company. 

  
 10 








 16. Governing Law. This is a California contract and shall be construed under and be
governed in all respects by the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles of such State. With respect to any disputes concerning federal law, such disputes shall be determined in accordance with the
law as it would be interpreted and applied by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. 
 17. Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be taken to be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same document. 

18. Successor to Company. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or
otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no succession had taken place. Failure of
the Company to obtain an assumption of this Agreement at or prior to the effectiveness of any succession shall be a material breach of this Agreement. 

19. Gender Neutral. Wherever used herein, a pronoun in the masculine gender shall be considered as including the feminine gender unless
the context clearly indicates otherwise.
