| | -- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS/HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED

Executive and Company, being aware of said code section, agree to expressly waive any rights
he/it may have under the above principal or any statute or common law principals of similar effect.

Each of the undersigned agrees that none of the releases set forth herein releases any claims arising out of obligations set forth in this Agreement.

Agreement, their interpretation, and any of the matters herein released, shall be subject to binding arbitration in Alameda County, California before the American Arbitration Association under its National Rules for the Resolution of Employment
Disputes of California Code of Civil Procedure. In the event of any legal action relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the losing party its attorneys fees and costs incurred in
that action to the extent permissible by law. The parties agree that the prevailing party in any arbitration shall be entitled to injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the arbitration award. The Parties hereby agree to
waive their right to have any dispute between them resolved in a court of law by a judge or jury. This paragraph will not prevent either party from seeking injunctive relief (or any other provisional remedy) from any court having jurisdiction over
the Parties and the subject matter of their dispute relating to Executives obligations under this Agreement.

7. Each
party represents and warrants that henceforth it/he will refrain from making or publishing any derogatory or disparaging remarks or statements, oral or written, to any third parties about the other party, except as otherwise required by law or legal
process.

8. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect
other provisions or application of the Agreement which can be given effect without the invalid provisions or application and to this end the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable.

9. The Company makes no representations or warranties with respect to the tax consequences of the payment of any sums to Executive under
the terms of Section 1 of this Agreement. Executive agrees and understands that he is responsible for



---

payment, if any, of local, state and/or federal taxes on the sums paid hereunder by the Company and any penalties or assessments thereon. Executive further agrees to indemnify and hold the
Company harmless from any claims, demands, deficiencies, penalties, assessments, executions, judgments, or recoveries by any government agency against the Company for any amounts claimed due on account of Executives failure to pay federal or
state taxes or damages sustained by the Company by reason of any such claims, including reasonable attorneys fees.

10.
This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the undersigned with respect to the matters covered by this Agreement and no promise made by any party or by an officer, attorney, or agent of any party that is not expressly contained in this
Agreement shall be binding or valid. This Agreement supersedes any prior agreement between the parties with the exception of the Confidentiality Agreement, the Plans and the Stock Option Agreements. Additionally, any modification of any provision of
this Agreement, to be effective, must be in writing and signed by both parties.
