 (c) Termination by Executive for Good Reason. Subject to the payment of Termination Benefits
pursuant to Section 6(e) below, Executive’s employment under this Agreement also may be terminated by Executive for Good Reason (as defined below) (which termination must be within one hundred twenty (120) days of the occurrence of
the event or events giving rise to such Good Reason) by written notice to the Board of Directors setting forth such Good Reason and giving the Company a reasonable period of time, not less than ten (10) business days, to eliminate and cure such
Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) a substantial adverse change in the nature or scope of the Executive’s responsibilities, authorities,
powers, functions or duties under this Agreement; (ii) a reduction in the Executive’s annual Base Salary, except for an across-the-board salary reduction similarly affecting all or substantially all management employees; or (iii) a
requirement by the Company (not consented to by the Executive) that the Executive be based anywhere other than fifty (50) miles from Woburn, Massachusetts; or (iv) the breach by the Company of any of its material obligations under this
Agreement, but only after notice by the Executive to the Company of such breach and the Company’s failure to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice. It is expressly agreed and understood that if Executive’s
employment is terminated by Executive for Good Reason as provided in this Section 6(c), it shall not impair or otherwise affect Executive’s Continuing Obligations (as defined below). It is further expressly agreed and understood that if
the Company elects not to extend the Term as provided in Section 2 above, such election shall be deemed a termination upon expiration of the Term of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement without cause under this Section 6(d)
and shall entitle the Executive to payment of the Termination Benefits pursuant to Section 6(e). 
 (d) Termination by the Company
Without Cause. Subject to the payment of Termination Benefits pursuant to Section 6(e), Executive’s employment under this Agreement may be terminated without cause by the Company by a vote of the Board of Directors of the Company or
determination by the Chief Financial Officer upon written notice to Executive. It is expressly agreed and understood that if Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause as provided in this Section 6(d), it shall not
impair or otherwise affect Executive’s Continuing Obligations. 
 (e) Certain Termination Benefits. Unless otherwise specifically
provided in this Agreement or otherwise required by law, all compensation and benefits payable to Executive under this Agreement shall terminate on the date of termination of Executive’s employment under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event of termination of Executive’s employment with the Company pursuant to Section 6(c) or Section 6(d) above, the Company shall provide to Executive the following termination benefits (“Termination
Benefits”): 
 (i) continuation of salary at a rate equal to one-hundred (100%) of Executive’s Base Salary as
in effect on the date of termination for a period of twelve months from the date of termination (payment shall be subject to withholding under applicable law and shall be made in periodic installments in accordance with the Company’s usual
payroll practice for executive officers of the Company as in effect from time to time); 
  

 4 








 (ii) continuation of group health plan benefits during the twelve months in which
Executives is receiving payments pursuant to subsection (i) above, to the extent authorized by and consistent with 29 U.S.C. § 1161 et seq. (commonly known as “COBRA”), with the cost of the regular premium for such
benefits shared in the same relative proportion by the Company and Executive as in effect on the date of termination; and 
 (iii) payment of the bonus that the Executive would have been entitled to receive under the bonus or other performance plan referred to in Section 4(b) had his employment not been terminated, pro rated for the number of days the
Executive was employed by the Company during the relevant period. Such payment shall be made to the Executive at the time bonuses under such plan are generally paid to other participants. 
 The Company shall have the right to terminate all of the Termination Benefits set forth in Section 6(e)(i) and Section 6(e)(ii) in the event that Executive
fails to comply in any material respect with Executive’s Continuing Obligations under this Agreement. The Company’s liability for Base Salary continuation pursuant to Section 6(e)(i) shall be reduced by the amount of any severance pay
paid to Executive pursuant to any severance pay plan of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6(e) shall be construed to affect Executive’s right to receive COBRA continuation entirely at Executive’s own
cost to the extent that Executive may continue to be entitled to COBRA continuation after Executive’s right to cost sharing under Section 6(e)(ii) ceases. The Company and Executive agree that the Termination Benefits paid by the Company to
Executive under this Section 6(e) shall be in full satisfaction, compromise and release of any claims arising exclusively out of any termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 6(c) or Section 6(d), and that the
payment of the Termination Benefits shall be contingent upon Executive’s delivery of a general release effectuating such full satisfaction, compromise and release, in favor of the Company and its affiliates of any and all claims, which general
release shall be effective upon termination of employment and shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, it being understood that no Termination Benefits shall be provided unless and until Executive executes and delivers such
release. 
 (f) Disability. If Executive shall be deemed disabled under the Company’s then existing long-term disability plan,
the Board of Directors or the Chief Financial Officer may remove Executive from any responsibilities and/or reassign Executive to another position with the Company for the remainder of the Term or during the period of such disability.
Notwithstanding any such removal or reassignment, Executive shall continue to receive Executive’s full Base Salary (less any disability pay or sick pay benefits to which Executive may be entitled under the Company’s policies) and benefits
under Section 5 of this Agreement (except to the extent that Executive is ineligible for one or more such benefits under applicable plan terms) for a period of up to twelve (12) months, and Executive’s employment may be terminated by
the Company at any time thereafter. In the event of such termination, the Executive is entitled to receive payment of the bonus that the Executive would have been entitled to receive under the bonus or other performance plan referred to in
Section 4(b) had his employment not been terminated, pro rated for the number of days the Executive was employed by the Company during the relevant period. Such payment shall be made to the Executive at the same time bonuses 

  

 5 








 
under such plan are generally paid to other participants. In the event of such termination, the Company shall have no further obligations except to make
Executive’s accrued Base Salary and benefit payments contemplated by this Section 6(f) through the date of such termination. If any question shall arise as to whether during any period Executive is disabled so as to be unable to perform
the essential functions of Executive’s then existing position or positions with or without reasonable accommodation, Executive may, and at the request of the Company shall, submit to the Company a certification in reasonable detail by a
physician (local to the Company’s principal offices) selected by the Company to whom Executive or Executive’s guardian has no reasonable objection as to whether Executive is so disabled or how long such disability is expected to continue,
and such certification shall for the purposes of this Agreement be conclusive of the issue. Executive shall cooperate with any reasonable request of the physician in connection with such certification. If such question shall arise and Executive
shall fail to submit such certification, the Company’s determination of such issue shall be binding on Executive. Nothing in this Section 6(e) shall be construed to waive Executive’s rights, if any, under existing law including,
without limitation, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 29 U.S.C. §2601 et seq. and the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §12101 et seq. 
 (g) Death. Executive’s employment and all obligations of the Company hereunder shall terminate in the event of the death of the Executive
other than any obligation to pay earned but unpaid Base Salary. 
 (h) Continuing Obligations. Notwithstanding termination of this
Agreement as provided in this Section 6 or any other termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive’s obligations under Section 7 hereof (collectively, the “Continuing Obligations”) shall survive any
termination of Executive’s employment with the Company at any time and for any reason. 
 7. Confidentiality; Proprietary Rights;
Non-Competition.

Executive’s employment by the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as other information to which Executive may have access in connection with Executive’s employment. Confidential Information also includes the confidential information of
others with which the Company, its affiliates or any subsidiary thereof has a business relationship. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include information in the public domain, unless due to breach of Executive’s
duties under this Section 7(a).

restricts in any way Executive’s use or disclosure of information relevant to the business or activities in which the Company or its subsidiaries are currently engaged in (“Company Business”) or Executive’s engagement in any
business. Executive represents to the Company that Executive’s execution of this Agreement, Executive’s employment with the Company and the performance of Executive’s proposed duties for the Company will not violate any obligations
Executive may have to any other party. In Executive’s work for the Company, Executive will not disclose or make use of any information in violation of any agreements with or rights of any such other party, and Executive will not bring to the
premises of the Company any copies or other tangible embodiments of non-public information belonging to or obtained from any such previous employment or other party. 
 (c) During and after Executive’s employment, Executive shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in the defense, procurement, maintenance and enforcement of (i) any claims or actions (other than those
brought by Executive) now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Company, its affiliates or any subsidiary thereof that relate to events or occurrences that transpired while Executive was employed by the
Company, and (ii) Intellectual Property Rights (as defined below) in Company-Related Developments (as defined below). Executive’s full cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being

Executive also shall reasonably cooperate in connection with any investigation or review of any federal, state or local regulatory authority as any such
investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while Executive was employed by the Company (to the extent such cooperation does not conflict with or impair Executive’s legal rights in connection with any such matter).
Executive will sign all papers, including, without limitation, copyright applications, patent applications, declarations, oaths, assignments of priority rights, and powers of attorney, which the Company may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in
order to protect its rights and interests in any Company-Related Development. If the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure Executive’s signature on any such papers, Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints each
officer of the Company as Executive’s agent and attorney-in-fact to execute and file any such papers on Executive’s behalf as the Company may deem reasonably necessary or desirable in order to properly assign to the Company all rights and
interests of Executive in any Company-Related Development. The Company shall reimburse Executive for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with Executive’s performance of obligations pursuant to this
Section 7(c).

client of the Company or any subsidiary thereof or any of the products or services being researched, developed, manufactured or sold by the Company or any subsidiary thereof or which may be used with such products or services, (ii) result from

 (e) Executive agrees, while he is employed by the Company, to offer or otherwise make known or available to it, as directed by the Board of Directors of
the Company without additional compensation or consideration, any business prospects, contracts or other business opportunities that Executive may discover, find, develop or otherwise have available to Executive that relate to the Company Business

 (f) The Executive hereby agrees that during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the
date that is two years (or one year, if the Executive’s employment has terminated pursuant to Section 6(c) or 6(d) above) following the date of the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company or with any of its
subsidiaries, the Executive will not, without the express written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, anywhere in the United States or in any foreign country in which the Company (or any subsidiary) has conducted business, is conducting
business or, to the Executive’s knowledge, is presently contemplating conducting business, engage in any activity which is competitive with any of the business, activities, products or services conducted or offered by the Company or its
subsidiaries during any period in which the Executive serves as an officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or participate or invest in, or provide or facilitate the provision of financing to, or assist (whether as owner,
part-owner, shareholder, member, partner, director, officer, trustee, employee, agent or consultant, or in any other capacity), any business, organization or person other than the Company (or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company), and
including any such business, organization or person involving, or which is, a family member of the Executive, whose business, activities, products or services are competitive with any of the business, activities, products or services conducted or
offered by the Company or its subsidiaries during any period in which the Executive serves as an officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Without implied limitation, the foregoing covenant shall be deemed to prohibit
(a) hiring or engaging or attempting to hire or engage for or on behalf of the Executive or any such competitor any officer or employee of the Company or any of its direct and/or indirect subsidiaries, or any former employee of the Company and
any of its direct and/or indirect subsidiaries who was employed during the six (6) month period immediately preceding the date of such attempt to hire or engage, other than by general solicitation through advertisements, (b) encouraging
for or on behalf of the Executive or any such competitor any such officer or employee to terminate his or her relationship or employment with the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, other than by general solicitation through
advertisements, (c) soliciting for or on behalf of Executive or any such competitor any client of the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, or any former client of the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries and
affiliates who was a client during the six (6) month period immediately preceding the date of such solicitation to purchase any product or service competitive with any product or service offered by the Company or, to the knowledge of the
Executive, planned to be offered by the Company and (d) diverting to any person (as hereinafter defined) any client or business opportunity of the Company or any of any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries. 
 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Executive may make passive investments in any enterprise the shares of which are publicly traded if
such investment constitutes less than two percent (2%) of the equity of such enterprise. 
 Neither the Executive nor any business
entity controlled by the Executive is a party to any contract, commitment, arrangement or agreement which could, following the date hereof, restrain or restrict the Company or any subsidiary of the Company from carrying on its business or restrain
or restrict the Executive from performing his employment obligations, and as of the date of this 

  

 9 








 
Agreement the Executive has no business interests whatsoever in or relating to the industries in which the Company or its subsidiaries currently engage, and
other than passive investments in the shares of public companies of less than two percent (2%). 
 (g) Executive acknowledges that the
provisions of this Section 7 are integral parts of Executive’s employment arrangements with the Company. 
 8. Parties in
Interest; Certain Remedies. It is specifically understood and agreed that this Agreement is intended to confer a benefit, directly or indirectly, on the Company, its affiliates and their direct and indirect subsidiaries, and that any breach of
the provisions of this Agreement by Executive will result in irreparable injury to the Company, its affiliates and their direct and indirect subsidiaries, that the remedy at law alone will be an inadequate remedy for such breach and that, in
addition to any other remedy it may have, the Company, its affiliates and their direct and indirect subsidiaries shall be entitled to enforce the specific performance of this Agreement by Executive through both temporary and permanent injunctive
relief without the necessity of posting a bond or proving actual damages, but without limitation of their right to damages and any and all other remedies available to them, it being understood that injunctive relief is in addition to, and not in
lieu of, such other remedies. 
 9. Dispute Resolution. 
 (a) Without limitation of Section 8, all disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other agreement executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the
negotiation, validity or performance hereof and thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, or the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder or thereunder, that are not resolved by mutual agreement shall be resolved solely and
exclusively by binding arbitration to be conducted before JAMS/Endispute, Inc. or its successor. The arbitration shall be held in Boston, Massachusetts before a single arbitrator and shall be conducted in accordance with the rules and regulations
promulgated by JAMS/Endispute, Inc. unless specifically modified herein. 
 (b) The parties covenant and agree that they will use their
reasonable best efforts to cause the arbitration shall commence within one hundred twenty (120) days of the date on which a written demand for arbitration is filed by any party hereto (the “Filing Date”). In connection with the
arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall have the power to order the production of documents by each party and any third-party witnesses. In addition, each party may take up to three depositions as of right, and the arbitrator may in his or her
discretion allow additional depositions upon good cause shown by the moving party. However, the arbitrator shall not have the power to order the answering of interrogatories or the response to requests for admission. In connection with any
arbitration, each party shall provide to the other, no later than seven (7) business days before the date of the arbitration, the identity of all persons that may testify at the arbitration and a copy of all documents that may be introduced at
the arbitration or considered or used by a party’s witness or expert. The parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the arbitrator’s decision and award shall be made and delivered within one hundred eighty (180) days of
the Filing Date. The arbitrator’s decision shall set forth a reasoned basis for any 

  

 10 








 
award of damages or finding of liability. The arbitrator shall not have power to award damages in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not
multiply actual damages or award punitive damages or any other damages that are specifically excluded under this Agreement, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages. 
 (c) The parties covenant and agree that they will participate in the arbitration in good faith and that they will, except as provided below,
(i) bear their own attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses in connection with the arbitration, and (ii) share equally in the fees and expenses charged by JAMS/Endispute, Inc. The arbitrator may in his or her discretion assess costs and
expenses (including the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the prevailing party) against any party to a proceeding. Any party unsuccessfully refusing to comply with an order of the arbitrators shall be liable for costs and expenses, including
attorneys’ fees, incurred by the other party in enforcing the award. This Section 9(c) applies equally to requests for temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, except that in the case of temporary or preliminary injunctive
relief any party may proceed in court without prior arbitration for the purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm or to enforce the provisions of Section 7. 
 (d) Without limitation of Section 8, each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of JAMS/Endispute, Inc. to resolve all disputes, claims or controversies
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other agreement executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the negotiation, validity or performance hereof and thereof, or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, or the rights
and obligations of the parties hereunder or thereunder, and further consents to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for the purposes of enforcing the arbitration provisions of Section 9 of this
Agreement. Each party further irrevocably waives any objection to proceeding before JAMS/Endispute, Inc. based upon lack of personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to make a
claim in any court that arbitration before JAMS/Endispute, Inc. has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given. Each of
the parties hereto agrees that its or his submission to jurisdiction and its or his consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of the other parties hereto.
