 WHEREAS, the Company is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent; 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to employ the Executive following the Merger and wishes to acquire and be assured of his
services on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; and 
 WHEREAS, the Executive desires to continue to be employed by
the Company following the Merger and to perform and to serve the Company on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other valid consideration, the sufficiency of which is
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 Section 1. Employment. 

1.1. Term. Subject to Section 3 hereof, the Company agrees to employ the Executive, and the Executive agrees to be employed
by the Company, in each case pursuant to this Employment Agreement, for a period commencing on the Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (the “Effective Date”) and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date
(the “Initial Term”); provided, however, that the period of the Executive’s employment pursuant to this Employment Agreement shall be automatically extended for successive one-year periods thereafter (each, a
“Renewal Term”), in each case unless either party hereto provides the other party hereto with written notice that such period shall not be so extended at least thirty (30) days in advance of the expiration of the Initial Term
or the then-current Renewal Term, as applicable (the Initial Term and any Renewal Term, collectively, the “Term”). Each additional one-year Renewal Term shall be added to the end of the next scheduled expiration date of the Initial
Term or Renewal Term, as applicable, as of the first day after the last date on which notice may be given pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Executive’s period of employment pursuant to this Employment Agreement shall hereinafter be
referred to as the “Employment Period.” 







 1.2. Duties. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall serve as the
Company’s Executive Vice President and such other positions as an officer or director of the Company and such affiliates of the Company as the Executive and the board of directors of Parent (the “Board”) shall mutually agree
from time to time, and shall have the customary duties associated with such positions, which shall be consistent with the Executive’s duties immediately prior to the Effective Date. The Executive shall report directly to the Chief Executive
Officer. The principal place of employment, and principal office, shall be Seal Beach, CA. 
 1.3. Exclusivity. During
the Employment Period, the Executive will devote substantially all of the Executive’s business time, attention and energies to the performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder. Consistent with the foregoing obligation, during the
Employment Period, the Executive shall not without the prior written consent of the Board, which the Board may grant or withhold in its sole discretion: (i) accept any other employment; (ii) serve on the board of directors or similar body
of any other business entity; or (iii) engage, directly or indirectly, in any other business activity (whether or not pursued for pecuniary advantage) that, solely in the case of clause (iii), is or may be competitive with, or that might place
Executive in a competing position to that of, the Company Group (as hereinafter defined). The term “Company Group” means individually and collectively Parent and each of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including, without
limitation, the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Executive from (x) serving on the boards of directors of non-profit organizations, (y) participating in charitable, civic, educational, professional,
community or industry affairs, and (z) managing the Executive’s passive personal investments so long as such activities in the aggregate do not interfere or conflict with the Executive’s duties hereunder or create a potential business
or fiduciary conflict. 
 1.4. Payment of Taxes. To the extent that any taxes become payable by Executive by virtue of
any payments made to, or benefits conferred upon, the Executive by the Company, the Company shall not be liable to pay or obligated to reimburse Executive for any such taxes or to make any adjustment under this Employment Agreement except as
otherwise expressly set forth herein, and any payments otherwise due under this Employment Agreement to Executive shall be reduced by any required withholding for federal, state and/or local taxes and other appropriate payroll deductions.

 Section 2. Compensation. 
 2.1. Salary. As compensation for the performance of the Executive’s services hereunder, during the Employment Period, the Company shall pay to the Executive a salary at an annual rate of
$320,000, payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll policies (the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary will be reviewed annually and may be adjusted upward (but not downward) by the Board (or a committee thereof) in
its sole discretion. 
 2.2. Annual Bonus. For each fiscal year of the Company ending during the Employment Period, the
Executive shall be eligible for a potential award of additional compensation (the “Annual Bonus”) to be based upon such objectively determinable Company performance criteria for each such fiscal year as determined by the Board in
the best interests of the Company (the “Performance Goals”). The Executive’s target Annual Bonus opportunity for each fiscal year that ends during the Employment Period shall equal one hundred percent (100%)


  
 2 








 
of the Base Salary (the “Target Annual Bonus Opportunity”) (which shall be pro-rated for any fiscal year not falling entirely within the Employment Period). The amount paid will
depend on the extent to which the Performance Goals are achieved or exceeded. The Annual Bonus shall be paid within two and a half
(2 1/2) months after the end of the
Company’s fiscal year, subject to the Executive’s continued employment through the date of payment, except to the extent expressly provided herein. The Annual Bonus shall be paid in cash. 

2.3. Employee Benefits. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in such health and other
group insurance and other employee benefit plans and programs of the Company as in effect from time to time on the same basis as other senior executives of the Company. 
 2.4. Vacation. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to four (4) weeks vacation per fiscal year in accordance with the Company’s policy on accrual and use
applicable to employees as in effect from time to time. The number of vacation days is prorated for the first and last fiscal years of employment, and shall be determined by multiplying twenty (20) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of days the Executive is employed by the Company during the applicable year and the denominator of which is 365. 
 2.5.
Business Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive, upon presentation of documentation, for all commercially reasonable business out-of-pocket expenses that the Executive incurs during the Employment Period in performing his
duties under this Employment Agreement and in accordance with the expense reimbursement policy of the Company as approved by the Board (or a committee thereof) and in effect from time to time. 

2.6. Legal Fees. Upon presentation of appropriate documentation, the Company shall pay the Executive’s reasonable counsel
fees incurred in connection with the negotiation and documentation of this Agreement, up to a maximum of $16,667, which shall be paid within sixty (60) days following the Effective Date. 

Section 3. Employment Termination. 
 3.1. Termination of Employment. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for any reason during the Term, and the Executive may voluntarily terminate his employment
hereunder for any reason during the Term, in each case (other than upon a termination by the Company for Cause, as defined below) at any time upon not less than thirty (30) days’ notice to the other party (the date on which the
Executive’s employment terminates for any reason is herein referred to as the “Termination Date”). Upon the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive shall be entitled to
(i) payment of any Base Salary earned but unpaid through the Termination Date, (ii) any vested benefits to the extent provided under the applicable terms of applicable Company arrangements and (iii) any unreimbursed expenses in
accordance with Section 2.5 hereof (collectively, the “Accrued Amounts”). It is specifically understood and agreed by the parties to this Employment Agreement that the Company’s obligations under this Section 3
constitute good and valuable consideration for the covenants made by Executive in favor of the Company under this Employment Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 4 hereof. 

  
 3 








 3.2. Termination due to Death or Disability. If Executive’s employment is be
terminated due to the Executive’s death or Disability (as defined below), in addition to the Accrued Amounts, the Company shall pay to the Executive or the Executive’s estate, as applicable, a pro-rata bonus for the fiscal year of
termination, equal to the Executive’s Target Annual Bonus Opportunity, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the Executive is employed by the Company during the applicable fiscal year prior to and including the
Termination Date and the denominator of which is 365 (the “Pro-Rata Bonus”). The Pro-Rata Bonus shall be paid within thirty (30) days following the Termination Date. 

3.3. Termination by the Company other than for Cause, Death or Disability; Termination by the Executive for Good Reason. If
Executive’s employment is terminated (i) by the Executive by Voluntary Resignation for Good Reason, each as defined below (provided that Executive has complied with the Notice of Resignation requirement set forth in Section 6.10
hereof) or (ii) by the Company without Cause (which shall include a Company non-renewal of this Agreement in accordance with Section 1 hereof, provided, that, the Executive has continued employment to the end of the Term and
resigns within ten (10) days following the end of the Term), in addition to the Accrued Amounts, the Company shall pay to the Executive (A) a Pro-Rata Bonus and (B) an amount per month equal to one-twelfth of the sum of (x) Base
Salary plus (y) the Target Annual Bonus Opportunity for the 18-month period following the Termination Date (the “Severance Benefits Period”); provided, that, if such termination occurs within the one (1) year
period following a Change in Control (as defined below), in lieu of the Base Salary and Target Annual Bonus Opportunity continuation described in this clause (B), the Executive shall be entitled to such amounts in a lump sum ((A) and
(B) together, the “Severance Amounts”). The Executive and the Executive’s dependents shall also be entitled to health benefits (including medical and dental benefits) under the Company’s health insurance plan for the
Severance Benefits Period, subject to earlier termination of such benefits if the Executive ceases to be eligible for continuation coverage pursuant to Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“COBRA”) on
similar terms and conditions applicable to Executive immediately prior to the termination of Executive’s employment; provided, that, such continued coverage shall be paid for by the Company to the extent that the Company was
paying for such medical benefits immediately prior to termination, and the period of such continued coverage shall be credited against the Company’s obligation to permit the Executive to elect continuation coverage under Section 601 of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and any similar state law, and under COBRA, and any similar state law (the “Continued Medical Benefits”). The Company’s obligations under this Section 3.3 are
collectively referred to as the “Severance Benefits.” Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, and without limitation of any remedies to which the Company may be entitled, (i) the Severance Amounts shall be paid,
or commence to be paid, as applicable, within the thirty (30) day period following the Termination Date, provided, that, the Executive signs and delivers to the Company the release attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
“Release”) and the period (if any) during which the Release can be revoked expires within such thirty (30) day period; provided, further, that, if such thirty (30) day period spans two calendar years,
payment of the Severance 

  
 4 








 
Amounts shall be paid, or commence to be paid, as applicable, in the second calendar year. The Executive specifically acknowledges that Executive’s entering into this Employment Agreement
and payment by the Company of the Severance Benefits constitutes good and valuable and otherwise sufficient consideration for Executive’s execution and delivery of the Release. 

3.4. Termination Due to Retirement. Upon Retirement (as defined below), the Executive, whether or not Section 3.3 also
applies but without duplication of benefits, shall be entitled to purchase coverage under the Retiree Medical Plan (as defined below) upon the terms and conditions in effect as of the date hereof; provided, that, except as provided
herein, (i) the age and service-based eligibility requirements of the Retiree Medical Plan shall not apply and (ii) the Executive shall be responsible for paying the full unsubsidized premium cost of such coverage. On the first day of each
month during the period commencing on the date of the Executive’s Retirement and ending on the date that the Executive is no longer permitted to continue participation in the Retiree Medical Plan pursuant to the terms in effect as of the date
hereof, the Company shall pay the Executive an amount such that, after deduction of all Federal, state and local income and employment taxes, the Executive retains an amount equal to the Company’s then-current portion of any premium or premium
equivalents under the Retiree Medical Plan. 
 3.5. Voluntary Resignation other than for Good Reason or due to Retirement;
Termination by the Company for Cause. If Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated (i) by Executive by Voluntary Resignation other than for Good Reason or due to Retirement or (ii) by the Company for Cause, the Company
shall pay to Executive the Accrued Amounts. 
 3.6. No Mitigation or Set-Off. In no event shall the Executive be
obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor shall the amount of any payment hereunder be reduced by any compensation
earned by the Executive as a result of employment or other service by a subsequent employer or service recipient. The Company’s obligations to pay the Executive amounts hereunder shall not be subject to set-off, counterclaim or
recoupment of amounts owed by the Executive to the Company or any of its affiliates. 
 Section 4. Restrictive
Covenants. 
 4.1. Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information. 

(a) “Confidential Information” means proprietary and confidential information regarding the Company Group that is not
generally available to the public, including (to the extent that it is not so generally available): (1) information regarding the Company Group’s business, operations, financial condition, customers, vendors, sales representatives and
other employees; (2) projections, budgets and business plans regarding the Company Group; (3) information regarding the Company Group’s planned or pending acquisitions, divestitures or other business combinations; (4) the Company
Group’s trade secrets and proprietary information; and (5) the Company Group’s technical information, discoveries, inventions, improvements, techniques, processes, business methods, equipment, algorithms, software programs, software
source documents and formulae. For purposes of the preceding sentence, information is not treated as being generally available to the public if it is made public by the Executive in violation of this Employment Agreement. 

  
 5 








 (b) During the Term and at all times thereafter, (i) the Executive must maintain all
Confidential Information in confidence and must not disclose any Confidential Information to anyone outside of the Company Group; and (ii) the Executive must not use any Confidential Information for the benefit of the Executive or any third
party. Nothing in this Employment Agreement, however, prohibits the Executive from: (1) disclosing any information (or taking any other action) in furtherance of the Executive’s duties to the Company Group while employed by the Company
Group; or (2) disclosing Confidential Information to the extent required by law (after giving prompt notice to the Company in order that the Company Group may attempt to obtain a protective order or other assurance that confidential treatment
will be accorded such information). Upon the Company’s request at any time, and upon the Termination Date, the Executive must immediately deliver to the Company Group all tangible items in Executive’s possession or control that are or that
contain Confidential Information, without keeping any copies. 
 (c) The covenants of the Executive under this Section 4.1
are in addition to, and are not intended to limit in any way, the Executive’s duties and obligations to the Company Group under any applicable statutory, civil or common law not to disclose or make personal use of Confidential Information or
trade secrets. 
 4.2. Non Solicitation, No-Hire and Non-Disparagement. 

(a) For the period beginning on the date of this Employment Agreement and ending two (2) years after the Termination Date (the
“Restricted Period”), the Executive covenants and agrees that Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, as an officer, director, employee, partner, stockholder, member, proprietor, consultant, joint venturer, investor or in any
other capacity, (i) solicit any Persons who are, or within the one-year period immediately preceding the Termination Date were, customers of the Company Group, to purchase other than from the Company Group any goods or services sold or provided
by the Company Group in relation to the Business or (ii) take any action to discourage any Persons who are, or within the one-year period immediately preceding the Termination Date were, suppliers of the Company Group, from doing business with
the Company Group. 
 (b) In addition, the Executive covenants and agrees that during the Restricted Period, Executive shall
not, directly or indirectly, as an officer, director, employee, partner, stockholder, member, proprietor, consultant, joint venturer, investor or in any other capacity, hire or solicit to perform services (as an employee, consultant or otherwise) or
take any actions which are intended to persuade any termination of association with the Company Group (as applicable) any Persons who are, or within the six (6) month period immediately preceding the solicitation were, employed by the Company
Group at the level of a manager, director (e.g., sales and marketing, business development), vice-president, president or any level more senior than any such level, provided, however, that (A) solicitation or hiring by the Executive of an
immediate family member of such Executive shall not constitute a violation of this Section 4.2, and (B) general solicitations of employment published in a journal, newspaper or other publication of general circulation or listed on any
internet job site and not specifically directed 

  
 6 








 
towards such employees shall not be deemed to constitute solicitation for purposes of this Section 4.2 and the hiring of any person as a result of such permitted solicitations shall not
constitute a breach of this Section 4.2. 
 (c) The Executive also hereby covenants and agrees that the Executive shall
not, directly or indirectly, make (or cause to be made) to any Person any knowingly disparaging, derogatory or other negative statement about the Company Group or any of their officers, directors or employees. The Company covenants and agrees that
the directors and senior officers of the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, while employed by the Company Group or serving as a director of any member of the Company Group, as the case may be, make (or cause to be made) to any person or
entity any knowingly disparaging, derogatory or other negative statement about the Executive. The foregoing shall not be violated by (i) truthful statements in response to legal process, required governmental testimony or filings, or
administrative or arbitral proceedings (including, without limitation, depositions in connection with such proceedings), or (ii) statements that the Executive or the senior officers or directors of the Company in good faith believe are
necessary or appropriate to make in connection with their good faith performance of their duties to the Company Group. 
 4.3.
Reasonableness of Restrictions. Executive specifically acknowledges and agrees that the time, geographic and activity restrictions (as applicable) set forth in Section 4 of this Employment Agreement are reasonable and properly required
for the protection of the Company Group. The Executive further agrees that these restrictions shall be given the construction which renders their provisions enforceable to the maximum extent (but not in excess of their express terms) possible under
applicable law. If, however, a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable or otherwise not enforceable, the parties agree to the reduction of such unenforceable restriction to the maximum
time, geographic and activity restriction (as applicable) as such court deems reasonable and otherwise enforceable under the circumstances then existing. Also, if the Company Group seeks partial enforcement of those Sections as to only time,
geographic and activity restrictions which are deemed reasonable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company Group shall be entitled to such partial enforcement. If such agreement of reduction or right of partial enforcement is not
enforced by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the unenforceable provisions shall be severed in accordance with Section 7.5. The Executive recognizes that any breach of Section 4 will cause irreparable injury to the Company Group and
that the actual damages may be difficult to ascertain, and the Executive agrees that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for breach of any such Sections. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any such Sections by the
Executive, the Company Group, or their respective successors and assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in
order to enforce or prevent any breach of, the provisions hereof without the requirement to post bond. In addition, in the event of a breach by the Executive of such Sections, the covenant period with respect to Executive and such breached
restriction, shall be tolled until such breach is stopped. 
 4.4. Other Obligations. Without implication that the
contrary would otherwise be true, the Executive’s obligations under Section 4 of this Employment Agreement are in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other obligations that Executive may have under contract, applicable law or
otherwise.

 Section 5. Put Right. 

5.1. If the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated (i) by the Company other than for Cause (which shall include

due to the Executive’s Disability, (ii) by the Executive for Good Reason or (iii) due to the Executive’s death, the Executive shall have the right to sell to Parent all of the shares of Rollover Stock (as defined below) then held

provided in Annex A to the Stockholders’ Agreement (as defined below) or (C) thirty (30) days following the Executive’s delivery of a Redemption Notice; provided, that the deadline for payment by the Company pursuant to
this Section 5 may be extended as required from time to time by the Company’s debt financing arrangements (as determined in the sole discretion of the Board) or if the Executive has failed to comply with Section 5.3. The price, if
any, payable as described in this Section 5 shall be paid by delivery to the Executive of a certified bank check or checks in the full amount payable to the order of the Executive against delivery of certificates or other instruments
representing the Rollover Stock so purchased, appropriately endorsed or executed by the Executive or the Executive’s authorized representative. The Parent may choose to have a designee purchase any Rollover Stock elected by it to be purchased
hereunder. All references to the Parent in this Section 5 shall refer to such designee as the context requires. 
 5.3.
Any payment to the Executive pursuant to this Section 5 shall be conditioned on his signing the Non-Competition Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B. 
 5.4. All capitalized terms used in this Section 5 that are not otherwise defined in this Employment Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in the Stockholders’ Agreement dated as of
June 1, 2011, by and among B-Corp Holdings, Inc., the Existing Owner Group (as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement) and the Management Stockholders thereto (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”). The term
“Rollover Stock” shall mean (i) Common Stock (as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement) acquired pursuant to exercise of an Option or (ii) a share of Common Stock, in each case contributed pursuant to the

 13 









 7.9. Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, this Employment
Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and operated in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury regulations and other guidance issued thereunder. If on the date of the Executive’s separation from service (as defined in
Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)) with the Company, the Executive is a specified employee (as defined in Section 409A of the Code and Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(i)), no payment constituting the “deferral of
compensation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b) and after application of the exemptions provided in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4) and 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) shall be made to Executive at any time
during the six (6) month period following the Executive’s separation from service, and any such amounts deferred such six (6) months shall instead be paid in a lump sum on the first payroll payment date following expiration of such
six (6) month period. For purposes of conforming this Employment Agreement to Section 409A, the parties agree that any reference to termination of employment, severance from employment, resignation from employment or similar terms shall
mean and be interpreted as a “separation from service” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). Each payment of severance under this Employment Agreement shall be considered a separate payment for purposes of
Section 409A. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to the extent any expense reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit under this Employment Agreement is determined to be subject to Section 409A, the amount of any
such expenses eligible for reimbursement, or the provision of any in-kind benefit, in one calendar year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year (except for any life-time or other aggregate limitation
applicable to medical expenses), in no event shall any expenses be reimbursed after the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive incurred such expenses, and in no event shall any right to reimbursement or the or
the provision of any in-kind benefit be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 
 7.10. Executive’s
Acknowledgement. The Executive acknowledges (i) that the Executive has consulted with or has had the opportunity to consult with independent counsel of his own choice concerning this Employment Agreement and has been advised to do so by the
Company, and (ii) that Executive has read and understands this Employment Agreement, is fully aware of its legal effect, and has entered into it freely, based on the Executive’s own judgment. 

7.11. Counterparts. A facsimile copy of this Employment Agreement (or a counterpart thereof) shall be treated as an original.
This Employment Agreement may be executed in counterparts, a complete set of which shall be treated as a single document.

 EXHIBIT A 

GENERAL RELEASE 
 This General Release (this “Release”) is made and entered into by and between Mark Pugh (“Executive”) and BakerCorp (the “Company”). 

WHEREAS, Executive has terminated employment with the Company on            ;

 WHEREAS, the Company and Executive are parties to an Employment Agreement dated June 1, 2011 (the “Employment
Agreement”) (Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Release shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Employment Agreement); 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and agreements set forth below, Executive and the Company agree as follows: 

 

	 	1.	Consideration. As partial consideration for entering into this Release, the Executive is to receive the Severance Benefits in accordance with and subject
to the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement. The Executive also acknowledges that the Executive’s entry into the Employment Agreement constitutes good and valuable and otherwise sufficient consideration for the Executive’s
execution and delivery to the Company of this Release. The Executive is advised to consult with an attorney before signing this Release. 

  

	 	2.	Released Parties. The term “Released Parties,” as used in this Release, shall mean the Company Group and any of its past or present employees,
administrators, agents, officials, officers, directors, shareholders, divisions, parents, subsidiaries, successors, affiliates, general partners, limited partners, consultants, employee benefit plans (and their sponsors, fiduciaries, or
administrators), insurers, accountants and attorneys. 

  

	 	3.	General Release. In consideration for the benefits described in Paragraph 1, Executive, on behalf of himself and his agents, representatives, attorneys,
assigns, heirs, executors, and administrators, fully releases each of the Released Parties from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions, causes of action, suits, grievances, debts, sums of money, agreements, promises, damages, back and front
pay, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, and remedies of any type, regarding any act or failure to act that occurred up to and including the date on which Executive signs this Release, including, without limitation, any claims arising or that
arose or may have arisen out of or in connection with Executive’s employment or separation of employment from the Company, and including but not limited to: 

 all claims, actions or liability under (1) Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Civil Rights Act of 1866 (42 U.S.C. §1981), the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act 







 
(“ADEA”), the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the National Labor Relations Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
(“ERISA”), the Family and Medical Leave Act; (2) any other federal, state, or local statute, ordinance, regulation or constitution regarding employment, compensation, unpaid wages, employee benefits, termination of employment,
or discrimination in employment; and (3) the common law of any state relating to employment contracts, wrongful discharge, defamation, or any other matter. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Release shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any claim Executive may have to the extent (and only to the extent) such claim arises from (1) a breach by the
Company of its obligations under the Employment Agreement to pay or provide (as applicable) the Accrued Amounts and the Severance Benefits; (2) any rights to indemnification by the Company or its affiliates under applicable law, by-laws, or as
an insured under any director’s and officer’s liability insurance policy now or previously in force, in any event to the extent so provided, (3) with respect to the Executive’s rights as a shareholder or holder of options of
Parent, or (4) rights applicable to the Executive under ERISA and the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act under any “employee benefit plan” (as defined in ERISA) of the Company applicable to the Executive. 

 

	 	4.	Waiver of Statutory or Common Law Limitations on Release. On behalf of himself and his heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns,
the undersigned Executive specifically waives the benefits of any statutory or common law of any state, which in effect provides that a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor. It
is expressly understood and agreed that the releases contained herein are intended to cover and do cover all known facts and/or claims, as well as any further facts and/or claims within the scope of such released claims not known or anticipated, but
which may later develop or be discovered, including all the effects and consequences thereof. On behalf of himself and his heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns, the undersigned Executive acknowledges that he may hereafter
discover facts in addition to, or different from, those which he now believes to be true with respect to the subject matter of the Claims released herein, but agrees that the undersigned has taken that possibility into account prior to executing
this Release and entering into the Employment Agreement, and that the releases given herein shall be and remain in effect notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different facts, as to which the undersigned Executive
expressly assumes the risk. 

  

	 	5.	 Non-Admission. This Release does not constitute an admission by any of the Released Parties that any action that any of them took with
respect to the 



  
 2 









	 	
Executive was wrongful, unlawful or in violation of any local, state, or federal act, statute, or constitution, or susceptible of inflicting any damages or injury on the Executive and the Company
specifically denies any such wrongdoing or violation. 

  

	 	6.	Release Inadmissible as Evidence. This Release, its execution, and its implementation may not be used as evidence, and shall not be admissible, in a
subsequent proceeding of any kind, except one which either party institutes alleging a breach of this Release. 

  

	 	7.	Confidentiality. Except as may be specifically required by law, the Executive agrees that he will not (without the prior written consent of the Company)
disclose, publish, indicate, or in any manner communicate, the terms and provisions of this Release to any other person or entity except: (a) as may be required by law; (b) to his accountant and/or financial advisor to the extent necessary
to prepare his tax returns; (c) to his attorney; and (d) to his immediate family members. The Executive further agrees that prior to any such authorized disclosure, the Executive will inform each such person to whom disclosure is to be
made that the terms of this Release are confidential. 

  

	 	8.	Waiver of Monetary Damages. Nothing in this Release shall be construed to prohibit the Executive from filing a charge with, providing information to, or
participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by the EEOC or a comparable state or local government agency, though Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive has waived the right to recover monetary damages in any charge,
complaint, or lawsuit filed by Executive or by anyone else on Executive’s behalf or otherwise. Further, nothing in this Release shall preclude Executive from responding truthfully to a valid subpoena or a request by a governmental agency in
connection with any investigation it is conducting. 

  

	 	9.	Waiver Applicable to California Residents. WITH RESPECT TO THE RELEASES CONTAINED HEREIN, IF THE UNDERSIGNED IS A RESIDENT OF CALIFORNIA, THE UNDERSIGNED
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE IS FAMILIAR WITH THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH PROVIDES AS FOLLOWS: 

 “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE
MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” 
 THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS THAT
HE MAY HAVE UNDER SECTION 1542, AS WELL AS UNDER ANY OTHER STATUTES OR COMMON LAW PRINCIPLES OF SIMILAR EFFECT. 

  
 3 









	 	10.	Entire Agreement. This Release contains the entire agreement and understanding between the Executive and the Company concerning the matters described
herein. It supersedes all prior agreements, discussions, negotiations, understandings and proposals of the parties with respect to such matters. The terms of this Release cannot be changed except in a subsequent document signed by both parties.


  

	 	11.	Breach of Agreement. Executive agrees that in the event the Company is required to commence an action in law or equity to enforce its rights under any
provision of this Release and prevails, the Executive shall be liable for the reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and related expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such action (other than with respect to any claim under the ADEA).


  

	 	12.	Severability. The provisions of this Release shall be severable and the invalidity of any provision shall not affect the validity of the other provisions.


  

	 	13.	ADEA Waiver. Executive acknowledges that he has been advised in writing to consult with an attorney prior to executing this Release, which contains
releases and waivers. Executive understands that he may take a period of twenty-one (21) days (or forty-five (45) days if this Release is being provided to Executive in connection with an exit incentive or other employment termination
program offered to a group or class of employees) within which to consider this Release. Executive understands that he may revoke this Release during the seven (7) days following the execution of this Release and that this Release will not
become effective until that seven-day revocation period has expired. In order to revoke this Release, the Executive must sign and send a written notice to the Company addressed to the Chief Executive Officer, which shall be effective only if the
Company receives it no later than seven days after Executive signs this Release. If the Executive revokes this Release, he will not be entitled to any of the money, benefits or other consideration provided to him as a result of this Release
(including, without limitation, the Severance Benefits). 

  

	 	14.	Knowing and Voluntary Waiver. Executive acknowledges that: (a) he has carefully read this Release and fully understands its meaning and effect;

	 	15.	Governing Law. This Release shall be governed by the internal laws of the state of California, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Each
party to this Release irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court within the state of California with respect to any cause or claim arising under or relating to this Release. Each party to this Release
irrevocably consents to the service of process by registered mail or personal service.
