twelve (12) months and (ii) the maximum amount of Employee’s Bonus for the fiscal year in which such Involuntary Termination occurs that could have been received by Employee had Employee satisfied all conditions necessary to earn such maximum

of the Bonus during the remainder of such fiscal year. 
  
 (ii)
Voluntary Resignation; Termination for Cause. If Employee voluntarily terminates employment with the Company, other than as a result of an Involuntary Termination, or if Employee is terminated for Cause, then Employee shall not be entitled to

 (iii) Disability; Death. If the Company terminates Employee’s
employment as a result of Employee’s Disability, or such Employee’s employment is terminated due to the death of Employee, then, except as provided below, Employee shall not be entitled to receive severance or other benefits except those

Employee, then Employee shall be entitled to receive a one-time cash payment equal to (i) the aggregate amount of Employee’s Base Compensation for a period equal to twelve (12) months minus (ii) the aggregate amount that Employee is
entitled to receive under the Company-paid life insurance policy. 







 (c) Benefits. In the event Employee is entitled to severance benefits pursuant to Section 4(a)(i)
or Section 4(b)(i), then in addition to such severance benefits, Employee shall receive (i) 100% Company-paid dental and life insurance coverage as provided to Employee, and Employee’s dependents, if applicable, immediately prior to
Employee’s termination, (ii) reimbursement from the Company for all premium payments paid by Employee under COBRA (“COBRA Payments”) for continuing health insurance coverage as provided to Employee, and Employee’s
dependents, if applicable, immediately prior to Employee’s termination (collectively, the “Company-Paid Coverage”), provided, however, at the election of Employee and in lieu of such reimbursements from the Company for
COBRA Payments, Employee may receive a one-time cash payment equal to the total amount of the COBRA Payments Employee would be required to make for twelve (12) months following such termination for continuing health insurance coverage at the same
coverage level as provided to Employee, and Employee’s dependents, if applicable, immediately prior to Employee’s termination, and (iii) outplacement services for a period of up to six (6) months following Employee’s termination;
provided, however, that the maximum amount of fees and expenses that the Company shall be obligated to pay for such services shall be $9,000. Company-Paid Coverage shall continue until the earlier of (i) twelve (12) months following
termination in the case of a termination described in Section 4(a)(i) or Section 4(b)(i), or (ii) the date Employee becomes covered under another employer’s group health, dental or life insurance plan (to the extent covered under such plans).
In addition, without regard to the reason for termination of Employee’s employment: (i) the Company shall pay Employee any unpaid salary and Bonus due for periods prior to the Termination Date; (ii) the Company shall pay Employee all of
Employee’s accrued and unused PTO through the Termination Date; and (iii) following submission of proper expense reports by Employee, the Company shall reimburse Employee for all expenses reasonably and necessarily incurred by Employee in
connection with the business of the Company prior to termination. These payments shall be made promptly upon termination and within the period of time mandated by law. 
  
 (d) Restricted Stock; Options. In the event Employee is entitled to severance benefits pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) or

Company held by Employee at the Termination Date (the “Options”) shall fully vest upon the Termination Date and Employee shall have the right to exercise the Options as to all of the shares of capital stock underlying the Options,
including shares of capital stock which would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, in accordance with the terms of the applicable option agreement relating to each of the Options. 







 5. Limitations on Payments. In the event that the severance and other benefits provided for in
this Agreement or otherwise payable to Employee (i) constitute “parachute payments” with in the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and (ii) but for this Section, would be
subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then Employee’s severance benefits under Section 4(a)(i), as applicable, shall be payable to the extent such payment, after taking into account the applicable federal, state and
local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the receipt by Employee on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of severance benefits under Section 4(a)(i), notwithstanding that all or some portion of such severance
benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Unless the Company and Employee otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section shall be made in writing by the Company’s independent public accountants (the
“Accountant”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Employee and the Company for all purposes. For the purposes of making calculation required by this Section 5, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions
and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may relay on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Employee shall furnish to the Accountants such information and
documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountant may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section.

  
 6. Confidential Information. 
  
 (a) Company Information. Employee agrees at all times during the term
of Employee’s employment and thereafter, to hold in strictest confidence, and not to use, except for the benefit of the Company, or to disclose to any person, firm or corporation without written authorization of the Board, any Confidential
Information of the Company. Employee understands that “Confidential Information” means any Company proprietary information, trade secrets or know-how, including, but not limited to, market research, product plans, products, services,
customer lists and customers (including, but not limited to, customers of the Company on whom Employee will call), markets, developments, marketing, finances or other business information disclosed to Employee by the Company either directly or
indirectly in writing, orally or by drawings or observation of parts or equipment. Employee further understands that Confidential Information does not include any of the foregoing items which is based on either Employee’s prior knowledge or the
experience of Employee or has become publicly known and made generally available through no wrongful act of Employee or of others who were under confidentiality obligations as to the item or items involved. 
  
 (b) Third Party Information. Employee recognizes that the Company has
received and in the future will receive from third parties their confidential or proprietary information subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited
purposes. Employee agrees to hold all such confidential or proprietary 







 information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person, firm or corporation or to use it except as
necessary in carrying out Employee’s work for the Company consistent with the Company’s agreement with such third party. 
  
 7. Covenant Not to Solicit. 
  
 (a) Until one year after termination of Employee’s employment with the Company for any reason, Employee agrees that he shall not solicit, induce,
attempt to hire, recruit, encourage, take away, or hire any employee of the Company or cause an employee to leave his or her employment either for Employee or for any other entity or person. 
  
 (b) Employee represents that he (i) is familiar with the foregoing covenant
not to solicit, and (ii) is fully aware of his obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the reasonableness of the length of time and scope of this covenant. 
  
 8. Definition of Terms. The following terms referred to in this Agreement shall have the following meanings:

  
 (a) Change of Control. “Change of
Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events occurring on or after the date hereof: 
  
 (i) Any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”)) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 30% or more of the total voting power represented by the
Company’s then outstanding voting securities; provided, however, that an initial public offering of the Company’s Common Stock shall not constitute a Change of Control; or 
  
 (ii) A change in the composition of the Board occurring within a two-year
period, as a result of which fewer than a majority of the directors are Incumbent Directors. “Incumbent Directors” shall mean directors who either (A) are directors of the Company as of the date hereof, or (B) are elected, or
nominated for election, to the Board with the affirmative votes of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors at the time of such election or nomination (but shall not include an individual whose election or nomination is in connection with an
actual or threatened proxy contest relating to the election of directors to the Company); or 
  
 (iii) The stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company
outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the voting








 securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such a merger or consolidation, or the
stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all the Company’s assets. 
  
 (b) Involuntary Termination. “Involuntary
Termination” shall mean, without Employee’s express written consent, (i) a significant reduction of Employee’s duties, position or responsibilities, or the removal of Employee from such position and responsibilities, unless

Company, or any successor, in lieu of Employee’s current position with the Company shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Employee’s rights under this Agreement and Employee shall continue to be entitled to all rights under this Agreement
as long as Employee remains employed by the Company, or any successor; (ii) a substantial reduction, without good business reasons, of the facilities and perquisites (including office space and location) available to Employee immediately prior to
such reduction; (iii) a reduction by the Company in the Base Compensation of Employee as in effect immediately prior to such reduction, other than a reduction which is part of and generally consistent with a general reduction of comparable employee
salaries; (iv) a material reduction by the Company in the kind or level of employee benefits to which Employee is entitled immediately prior to such reduction with the result that Employee’s overall benefits package is significantly reduced,
other than a reduction which is part of and generally consistent with a general reduction of comparable employee benefit packages; (v) the relocation of Employee to a facility or a location more than 25 miles from Employee’s then present
location, without Employee’s express written consent; (vi) any purported termination of Employee by the Company which is not affected for death, Disability or Cause; or (vii) the failure of the Company to obtain the assumption of this agreement
by any successors contemplated in Section 9 below.

Company. 
  
 (d) Disability. “Disability”
shall mean that Employee has been unable to perform his duties under this Agreement as the result of his incapacity due to physical or mental illness, and such inability, at least 26 weeks after its commencement, is determined to be total and
permanent by a physician selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable to Employee or Employee’s legal representative (such Agreement as to acceptability not to be unreasonably withheld). Termination resulting from Disability may only
be effected after at least 30 days’ written by the Company of its intention to terminate Employee’s employment. In the event that Employee resumes the performance of substantially all of his duties hereunder before the termination of his
employment becomes effective, the notice of intent to terminate shall automatically be deemed to have been revoked. 
  







 (e) Termination Date. “Termination Date” shall mean (i) if this Agreement is
terminated by the Company for Disability, thirty (30) days after notice of termination is given to Employee (provided that Employee shall not have returned to the performance of Employee’s duties on a full-time basis during such thirty (30) day
period), (ii) if Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company for any other reason, the date on which a notice of termination is given or such other date specified in the notice of termination, or (iii) if the Agreement is terminated by
Employee, the date on which Employee delivers the notice of termination to the Company. 
  
 9. Successors. 
  
 (a)
Company’s Successors. Any successor to the Company (whether direct or indirect and whether by purchase, lease, merger, 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. For all purposes under this Agreement, the term “Company” shall include any successor to the Company’s business and/or assets which executes and delivers the assumption agreement described in this Section or which
becomes bound by the terms of this Agreement by operation of law. 
  
 (b) Employee’s Successors. The terms of this Agreement and all rights of Employee hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, Employee’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators,
successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. 
  
 10.
Returning Company Documents. Employee agrees that, at the time of leaving the employ of the Company, Employee will deliver to the Company (and will not keep in Employee’s possession, recreate or deliver to anyone else) any and all
devices, records, data, notes, reports, proposals, lists, correspondence, specifications, materials, equipment, other documents or property, or reproductions of any aforementioned items developed by Employee pursuant to Employee’s employment
with the Company or otherwise belonging to the Company, its successors or assigns. 
  
 11. Notice. 
  
 (a)
General. Notices and all other communications contemplated by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or when mailed by U.S. registered or certified mail, return receipt

reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination under the provision so indicated, and shall specify the termination date (which shall be not more than 30 days after the giving of such notice). The failure by
Employee to include in the notice any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Involuntary Termination shall not waive any right of Employee hereunder or preclude Employee from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing his right
hereunder. 
  
 12. Mediation; Arbitration. 
  
 (a) Mediation. Employee agrees that any dispute or controversy
arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement, or the interpretation, validity, construction, performance, breach or termination thereof, shall first be submitted to mediation. The mediation shall be conducted within 45 days of
either party notifying the other party of a dispute or controversy regarding this Agreement or Employee’s employment relationship with the Company. Unless otherwise provided for by law, the Company and Employee shall each pay half the costs and
expenses of the mediation. 
  
 (b) Arbitration. In the
event mediation pursuant to subsection (a) above fails, Employee agrees that any dispute or controversy arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement, or the interpretation, validity, construction, or breach thereof, shall be
finally settled by binding arbitration to be held in San Jose, California under the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes supplemented by the Supplemental Procedures for Large Complex Disputes, of the American Arbitration
Association as then in effect (the “Rules”). The arbitrator may grant injunctions or other equitable relief in such dispute or controversy. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties to the
arbitration. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s decision in any court having jurisdiction.

select the third arbitrator. The Company reserves the right to object to any individual arbitrator who shall be employed by or affiliated with a competing organization. 
  
 (f) At the request of either party, arbitration proceedings will be conducted in the utmost secrecy; in such case all
documents, testimony and records shall be received, heard and maintained by the arbitrators in secrecy under seal, available for the inspection only of the Company or Employee and their respective attorneys and their respective experts who shall
agree in advance and in writing to receive all such information confidentially and to maintain such information in secrecy until such information shall become generally known. 
  
 (g) The decree or judgment of an award rendered by the arbitrators maybe entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

  
 (h) Reasonable notice of the time and place of arbitration
shall be given to all persons, other than the parties, as shall be required by law, in which case such persons or those authorized representatives shall have the right to attend and/or participate in all the arbitration hearings in such manner as
the law shall require.

 13. Miscellaneous Provisions. 
  
 (a) No Duty to Mitigate. Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment contemplated by this
Agreement, nor shall any such payment be reduced by any earnings that Employee may receive from any other source. 
  
 (b) 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 Employee and by an authorized officer of the Company (other than Employee). 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. 







 (c) Whole Agreement. No agreements, representation or understandings (whether oral or written and
whether express or implied) which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement have been made or entered into by either party with respect to the subject matter hereof. 
  
 (d) Choice of Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by
the laws of the State of California.

 (f) No Assignment of Benefits. The rights of any person 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 Section shall be void.

 (h) Assignment by Company. The Company may assign its rights under this Agreement to an affiliate, and an affiliate may assign its rights under
this agreement to another affiliate of the Company or to the Company; provided, however, that no assignment shall be made if the net worth of the assignee is less than the net worth of the Company at the time of the assignment. In the
event of any such assignment, the term “Company” when used in a section of this Agreement shall mean the corporation that actually employs Employee. 
  
 (i) Amendments. This Agreement shall not be changed or modified in whole or in part except by an instrument in
