 WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ Employee as its Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer (“CFO”), and Employee desires to be employed by the Company, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and obligations contained herein, and intending to be legally bound, the parties, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
agree as follows: 
 TERMS 
 1. Employment Term. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company agrees to employ Employee, and Employee hereby accepts employment, as the CFO of the Company and its
subsidiaries, or a similar executive position (the “Position”), for a term commencing on March 21, 2012 (the “Commencement Date”) and ending on March 31, 2015 (the “Employment Term”) unless otherwise
terminated under this Agreement. The Employment Term will automatically extend for successive periods of three years at the end of each one year anniversary of the current Employment Term unless either the Company or Employee notifies the other in
writing (a “Non-Renewal Notice”) of the expiration of the Employment Term at least 90 days prior to the end of each annual anniversary. Employee and the Company agree that Employee’s employment with the Company constitutes
“at-will” employment. Employee and the Company acknowledge that this employment relationship may be terminated at any time, upon written notice to the other party, with or without good cause or for any or no cause, at the option either of
the Company or Employee. However, as described in this Agreement, Employee may be entitled to severance benefits depending upon the circumstances of Employee’s termination of employment. 

2. Duties. During the Term, Employee shall serve the Company faithfully and to the best of Employee’s ability, shall devote
Employee’s full attention, skill and efforts to the performance of the duties of the Position. Employee shall report to the Company’s Board of Directors. Employee will render such business and professional services in the performance of
his duties, consistent with Employee’s position within the Company, as will reasonably be assigned to him by the Board. During the Employment Term, Employee will devote Employee’s full business efforts and time to the Company and will use
good faith efforts to discharge Employee’s obligations under this Agreement to the best of Employee’s ability. For the duration of the Employment Term, Employee agrees not to actively engage in any other employment, occupation, or
consulting activity for any direct or indirect remuneration without the prior approval of the Board; provided, however that Employee may, without the approval of the Board, serve in any capacity with any civic, educational, or charitable
organization, provided such services do not interfere with Employee’s obligations to Company. 
 3. Other Business
Activities. During the Employment Term, other than as provided in Section 2 above, Employee will not engage in any other business activities or pursuits which are contrary to Employee’s responsibilities and obligations pursuant to this
Agreement.

Section 7.

iii. Employee further agrees to reveal promptly all information relating to the same to an appropriate officer of the
Company and to cooperate with the Company and execute such documents as may be necessary or appropriate (A) in the event that the Company desires to seek copyright, patent or trademark protection, or other analogous protection, thereafter

reimbursement under the by-laws of the Company, any applicable indemnification agreement or the laws and regulations under which the Company is governed, in each case in effect at the time of such act or omission. The exercise of the right of the
