Your continual employment with the Company at all times is strictly “at will.” This means that you may terminate your employment with the Company at any time and for any reason whatsoever, simply by notifying the company. Likewise, the Company may terminate your employment at any time and for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause or advance notice.  In case of any such termination, the Company is under no obligation to pay you a severance and the Company shall have no outstanding obligations to you. This at-will employment relationship cannot be changed except in writing, signed by the Chief Executive Officer or General Counsel of the Company.

In the unlikely event of a dispute between the Company and you arising out of or related to your employment, including any matter related to the stock options, or the termination of your employment for any reason whatsoever, we each agree to submit our dispute to binding arbitration in the County of San Mateo, California under the Federal Arbitration Act if we are unable to resolve the dispute after meeting and conferring in good faith within 45 days. This means that there will be no court or jury trial of disputes between us concerning your employment or the termination of your employment. To the extent any such prospective arbitration concerns claims arising out of your employment with the Company, the Company will pay all of the arbitration costs. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broad (and covers, for example, claims under state and federal laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, sex, age, disability, family leave, etc.), subject to applicable limitations provided under state law. The agreement to arbitrate shall not be applicable to the enforcement of the PIIA concerning confidential information and ownership of inventions. The terms of your employment will be governed by California law.

Your employment start date shall be April 1, 2012 (the “Start Date”) unless we otherwise mutually agree, and subject at all times to a clear background check and eligibility to work in the United States.

If not accepted by 5:30 PM PDT on March 5, 2012. this offer will expire in its entirety.

I really look forward to working with you. We have high hopes that you will contribute in a very tangible and visible manner to our continued success.
