 3.2 Equity Compensation. As
payment for the services to be rendered by the Employee as provided in Section 1 and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall issue to Employee 180,000 shares of Company common stock (the “Shares”)
which are subject to the following provisions: 
 (a) Repurchase Right. The Company (or its assignees) is hereby
granted the right (the “Repurchase Right”) exercisable at any time during the sixty (60) day period following the date of the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company for any reason, to repurchase, at
$.01 per share (the “Repurchase Price”) all or (at the discretion of the Company) any portion of the Shares in which Employee has not acquired a vested interest in accordance with the vesting provisions of Section 3.2(c)
below (such shares to be hereinafter called the “Unvested Shares”). 
 (b) Exercise of Repurchase
Right. The Repurchase Right shall be exercisable by written notice delivered to Employee prior to the expiration of the applicable sixty (60) day period specified in Section 3.2(a). The notice shall indicate the number of Unvested
Shares to be repurchased and the date on which the repurchase is to be effected, such date to be not more than thirty (30) days after the date of notice. Employee shall, prior to the close of business on the date specified for the repurchase,
deliver to the Company’s Secretary the certificates representing the Unvested Shares to be repurchased, each certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer, and Employee shall cease to have any further rights or claims with respect to such
Unvested Shares (or other assets or securities attributable to such Unvested Shares). Subject to the provisions of Section 3.2(g), the Company shall, concurrently with the receipt of such stock certificates, pay to Employee in cash or cash
equivalents, an amount equal to the per Repurchase Price for the Unvested Shares which are to be repurchased. 
 (c)
Termination of the Repurchase Right. The Repurchase Right shall terminate with respect to any Unvested Shares for which it is not timely exercised under Section 3.2(a). In addition, the Repurchase Right as to the Unvested
Shares shall terminate, and cease to be exercisable, in accordance with the following provisions: 
 Commencing
November 18, 2010 and for each month for the 11 months thereafter during the term of this Agreement, Employee shall acquire a vested interest in, and the Repurchase Right shall lapse, with respect to 12 monthly increments of 15,000 of the
Unvested Shares provided, however, in the event of a Change of Control, the Repurchase Right shall terminate with respect to all Unvested Shares as of the date of the consummation of the Change of Control transaction.

 (d) Restriction on Transfer. Employee shall not transfer, assign,
encumber or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares that are subject to the Company’s Repurchase Right in this Agreement. 

(e) Section 83(b) Election. Employee understands that under Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”), the excess of the Shares’ fair market value on the date any forfeiture restrictions applicable to such shares lapse over the purchase price for such Shares will be reportable as ordinary
income on such lapse date. For this purpose, the term “forfeiture restrictions” includes the Company’s right to repurchase the Shares under the Repurchase Right (as defined) provided under this Agreement. Employee understands that he
may elect under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed at the time the Shares are acquired hereunder, rather than when and as such Shares cease to be subject to such forfeiture restrictions. 

(f) Section 83(b) Election Acknowledgment. EMPLOYEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS HIS SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT
THE COMPANY’S, TO FILE A TIMELY ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF EMPLOYEE REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON HIS BEHALF. 
 (g) Impairment of Capital. Each party agrees that the Company’s ability to exercise its Repurchase Right hereunder shall not be prevented by any statutory requirement regarding the
capital resources of the Company, and if the Company should not be permitted to make such repurchase because its capital is deemed to be impaired under Delaware law or otherwise, then such Unvested Shares that the Company elects to repurchase shall
be transferred to the Company by Employee without any obligation for Company payment. 
 3.2 Fringe Benefits.

 (a) Fringe Benefits. The Employee shall not be eligible to participate in any of the Company’s benefit
plans as are now generally available or later made generally available to senior officers of the Company, including, without limitation, medical, dental, life, and disability insurance plans, if any. 

(b) Expense Reimbursement. The Company agrees to reimburse the Employee for all reasonable, ordinary and necessary travel
and entertainment expenses incurred by the Employee in conjunction with Employee’s services to the Company consistent with the Company’s standard reimbursement policies. The Company shall pay travel costs incurred by the Employee in
conjunction with his or her services to the Company consistent with the Company’s standard travel policy. 
 (c)
Vacation. The Employee shall be entitled, without loss of compensation, to four (4) weeks of vacation per year. Unused vacation may be accrued by the Employee up to a maximum of four (4) weeks, when it will cease accruing
until the Employee reduces the accrued, unused amount through use of vacation time. 

  
 5 








 (d) Employee Acknowledgment re Shares. Employee acknowledges and agrees
that the Shares to be issued hereunder are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended and together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Securities
Act”) and that, under the Securities Act and applicable regulations thereunder, such securities may not be resold, pledged or otherwise transferred without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom. Employee
acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Shares are being issued in a transaction not involving any public offering in the United States within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the Shares have not yet been registered under the Securities Act,
(ii) the Shares may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only in a transaction registered under the Securities Act, or meeting the requirements of Rule 144, or in accordance with another exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act (and based upon an opinion of counsel if the Company so requests) and in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any State of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction, and (iii) the
Shares shall bear a legend indicating their restricted nature. 
 3.3 Code Section 409A; Employee Taxes.

 (a) To the extent applicable, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code (together
with Department of Treasury regulations and other official guidance issued thereunder, “Section 409A”). Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Company determines in good faith
that any compensation or benefits payable under this Agreement may not be either exempt from or compliant with Section 409A, the Company shall consult with Employee and, subject to the written consent of Employee, adopt such amendments to this
Agreement or adopt other policies or procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other commercially reasonable actions necessary or appropriate to (i) preserve the intended tax treatment of
the compensation and benefits payable hereunder, to preserve the economic benefits of such compensation and benefits, and/or to avoid less favorable accounting or tax consequences for the Company and/or (ii) to exempt the compensation and
benefits payable hereunder from Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A and thereby avoid the application of penalty taxes thereunder; provided, however, that this Section 3.3(a) does not, and
shall not be construed so as to, create any obligation on the part of the Company to adopt any such amendments, policies or procedures or to take any other such actions or to indemnify Employee for any failure to do so. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Employee acknowledges and agrees that in the event that any tax is imposed under
Section 409A in respect to any compensation or benefits payable to Employee, whether under this Agreement or otherwise, then (i) the payment of such tax shall be solely Employee’s responsibility, and (ii) neither the Company, or
their subsidiaries or affiliates, nor any of their respective past or present directors, officers, employees or agents shall have any liability for any such tax. 
 (c) Employee shall be solely responsible for the payment of all state and federal income tax related to his compensation under this Agreement and the Option Agreement.
