	3.	Annual Bonus. You are eligible to earn an annual bonus of 40% of your base salary at target, based on achieving performance objectives established by the Committee in its sole discretion and payable

	6.	Confidentiality Agreement. As an employee of the Company, you will continue to have access to certain confidential information of the Company and you may, during the course of your employment, develop certain
information or inventions that will be the property of the Company. To protect the interests of the Company, your acceptance of this letter confirms that the terms of the Company’s Confidential Information and Inventions Assignment

cause or advance notice. Although the Company may change the terms and conditions of your employment from time-to-time, (including, but not limited to, changes in your position, compensation, and/or benefits), nothing will change the at-will
employment relationship between you and the Company. In addition, the compensation terms described herein will not affect your at-will employment status.

its subsidiaries or affiliates. 

  

	9.	 Protected Activity Not Prohibited. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other agreement between you or
the Company, as applicable, will in any way limit or prohibit you from engaging for a lawful purpose in any Protected Activity. For purposes of this Agreement, “Protected Activity” means filing a charge or complaint, or otherwise
communicating, cooperating, or participating with, any state, federal, or other governmental agency, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the National Labor Relations Board.
