following a Change in Control. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan. 
 C. The Company wishes to designate Executive as eligible to participate in the Plan. 
 In consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, and in consideration of the continuing employment of Executive by the Company, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and

consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or assets shall assume the obligations under this Agreement and agree expressly to perform the obligations under this Agreement in the same
manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to perform such obligations in the absence of a succession. The terms of this Agreement and all of Executive’s rights hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by,
Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.

Counsel. 
 4. Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 (a) Waiver. No provision of this Agreement shall be modified, waived or discharged unless the modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and by an authorized
officer of the Company (other than Executive). No waiver by either party of any breach of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement by the other party shall be considered a waiver of any other condition or provision or of
the same condition or provision at another time.

entire understanding between the parties with respect to the matters addressed herein, superseding all negotiations, prior discussions and agreements, written or oral, concerning such matters. 

(c) Choice of Law. Except to the extent preempted by federal law, this Plan shall be governed and construed in accordance the laws
of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. 
 (d) Severability. If any term or
provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any circumstance shall, in any jurisdiction and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, such term or provision shall be ineffective as to such jurisdiction to the extent of such
invalidity or unenforceability without invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or the application of such terms and provisions to circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or
unenforceable, and a suitable and equitable term or provision shall be substituted therefor to carry out, insofar as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision. 

(e) No Assignment of Benefits. The rights of Executive to payments or benefits under this Agreement shall not be made subject to
option or assignment, either by voluntary or involuntary assignment or by operation of law, including (without limitation) bankruptcy, garnishment, attachment or other creditor’s process, and any action in violation of this subsection shall be
void, provided the Executive’s estate shall be entitled to receive any benefits that have become payable, but which have not been paid in accordance with Section 1 above. 

(f) Non-solicitation. During the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending one year thereafter, Executive will not, on his
own behalf or as a partner, officer, director, employee, agent, or consultant of any other person or entity, directly or indirectly, solicit or induce (or attempt to solicit or induce) any employee of the Company to leave their employment with the
Company or to consider employment with any other person or entity.
