Amended & Restated Change of Control Agreement



 EXHIBIT 10.3 
 Second Amended and Restated 
 Change of Control 
 Terms and Conditions 
 TiVo Inc. (the “Corporation”) considers it essential
to the best interests of its shareholders to foster the continuous employment of the Corporation’s key management personnel. In this regard, the Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) recognizes that, as is the case with
many publicly-held corporations, the possibility of a change in control of the Corporation may exist and the uncertainty and questions that it may raise among management could result in the departure or distraction of management personnel to the
detriment of the Corporation and its shareholders. 
 The Board has decided to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication
of members of the Corporation’s management, including yourself, to their assigned duties without the distraction arising from the possibility of a change in control of the Corporation. 
 In order to induce you to remain in its employ, the Corporation hereby agrees that after this letter agreement (this “Agreement”) has been
fully executed, you shall receive the severance benefits set forth in this Agreement in the event that your employment with the Corporation is terminated under the circumstances described below in anticipation of or subsequent to a Change in Control
(as defined below). 
 Upon the Effective Date (as defined below), this Agreement shall supersede in its entirety that certain Amended and
Restated Change of Control Terms and Conditions agreement entered into between you and the Corporation effective March 21, 2007 (the “Prior Agreement”) which shall terminate and be of no further effect as of the Effective Date. You
understand and agree that upon the Effective Date, the Corporation shall have no liability, and you shall have no rights to any payments whatsoever, under the Prior Agreement. 
 1. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall commence on September 16, 2008 (the “Effective Date”) and shall continue in effect until
the earlier of its termination by mutual written consent of you and Corporation or the date all payments or benefits required to be made or provided hereunder have been made or provided in their entirety. 
 2. Change in Control. No benefits shall be payable hereunder unless there has been a Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a
“Change in Control” shall mean: 
 (i) a dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation; 
 (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation; 
 (iii) a sale by the stockholders of the Corporation of the voting stock of the Corporation to another corporation or its subsidiaries that
results in the ownership by such corporation and/or its subsidiaries of eighty percent (80%) or more of the combined voting power of all classes of the voting stock of the Corporation entitled to vote; 







 (iv) a merger or consolidation involving the Corporation in which the Corporation is not
the surviving corporation or a merger or consolidation of a subsidiary of the Corporation and in which, in either case, beneficial ownership of securities of the Corporation representing at least fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power
entitled to vote in the election of members of the Board of Directors (“Directors”) has changed; 
 (v) a reverse
merger in which the Corporation is the surviving corporation but the shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of
securities, cash or otherwise, and in which beneficial ownership of securities of the Corporation representing at least fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power entitled to vote in the election of Directors has changed; 
 (vi) an acquisition by any person, entity or group within the meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act, or any
comparable successor provisions (excluding any employee benefit plan, or related trust, sponsored or maintained by the Corporation or subsidiary of the Corporation or other entity controlled by the Corporation) of the beneficial ownership (within
the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or comparable successor rule) of securities of the Corporation representing at least fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power entitled to vote in the election of Directors;
or 
 (vii) for any reason during any period of two (2) consecutive years (not including any period prior to the
Effective Date) a majority of the Board is constituted by individuals other than (1) individuals who were directors immediately prior to the beginning of such period, and (2) new directors whose election or appointment by the Board or
nomination for election by the Corporation’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors immediately prior to the beginning of the period or whose
election or nomination for election was previously so approved. 
 3. Termination in Anticipation of or Following Change in Control.

 (i) General. If a Change in Control shall have occurred during the term of this Agreement, you shall be entitled to
the benefits provided in Section 4(ii) if your employment is terminated within the thirteen (13) month period immediately following the date of such Change in Control (a) by the Corporation other than for Cause or Disability (each as
defined below), or (b) by you for Good Reason (as defined below), provided that the termination of your employment constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the “Code”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder, including Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) (a “Separation from Service”); a termination of your employment under the circumstances described in this
sentence is sometimes hereinafter referred to as a “Payment Termination”. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, if your employment is terminated during the period commencing on the public announcement of a transaction which if
consummated will constitute a Change in Control and ending on 

  

 2 








 
the date of consummation of such Change in Control either by the Corporation other than for Cause or Disability or by you for Good Reason, and if such
termination (1) was at the request of a third party effecting the Change in Control or (2) otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of the Change in Control, then for all purposes of this Agreement you shall be deemed to have
incurred a Payment Termination immediately after the actual occurrence of the Change in Control if the Change in Control constitutes a change in the ownership or effective control of the Corporation or a change in the ownership of a substantial
portion of the assets of the Corporation, as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5); provided, however that nothing herein shall extend the period within which any option to purchase the Corporation’s capital stock that
you hold may be exercised following your termination of employment in such a manner as to result in adverse tax consequences to you under Section 409A of the Code. Except as described in the preceding sentence, in the event that your employment
with the Corporation is terminated for any reason and subsequently a Change in Control occurs, you shall not be entitled to any benefits hereunder. In the event that you are entitled to the benefits provided in Section 4(ii), such benefits
shall be paid notwithstanding the subsequent expiration of the term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if your employment is terminated in a Payment Termination, if any benefit or payment that would otherwise be provided to you
pursuant to Section 5 of the Employment Agreement but for your termination being a Payment Termination is more favorable to you than that to which you would be entitled under this Agreement, you shall be entitled to receive the more favorable
benefit or payment. 
 (ii) Death or Disability. Your employment with the Corporation shall terminate automatically
upon your death. The Corporation may terminate your employment for Disability, but only if that Disability continues through the Date of Termination (as hereinafter defined). For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean your
absence from the full-time performance of your duties with the Corporation for one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days by reason of your physical or mental illness. 
 (iii) Cause. The Corporation may terminate your employment for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean
(a) your willful and continued failure to substantially perform your duties with the Corporation (other than any such failure resulting from your incapacity due to physical or mental illness or any such actual or anticipated failure after your
issuance of a Notice of Termination (as defined below) for Good Reason), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to you by the Board, which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that you have
not substantially performed your duties, (b) your willful and continued failure to substantially follow and comply with such specific and lawful directives of the Board that are not inconsistent with your position as President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Corporation (other than any such failure resulting from your incapacity due to physical or mental illness or any such actual or anticipated failure after your issuance of a Notice of Termination for Good Reason), after a
written demand for substantial performance is delivered to you by the Board, which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that you have not substantially performed your duties, (c) your willful commission of an
act of fraud or dishonesty resulting in material 

  

 3 








 
economic or financial injury to the Corporation, or (d) your conviction of, or entry by you of a guilty or no contest plea to, the commission of a
felony involving moral turpitude. For purposes of this Section 3(iii), no act, or failure to act, on your part shall be deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by you not in good faith. 
 (iv) Good Reason. You may terminate your employment with the Corporation for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence, after a Change in Control, of any one or more of the following events without your prior written consent, unless the Corporation fully corrects the circumstances constituting Good Reason (provided
such circumstances are capable of correction) prior to the Date of Termination: 
 (a) Your removal from your position as
Chief Executive Officer or President of the Corporation for any reason other than for Cause or your Disability; 
 (b)(i) any
change in reporting relationship such that you no longer report to the Board of Directors of the Corporation (or, if the Corporation has a parent company, to the Board of Directors of the ultimate parent of the Corporation) or (ii) any
reduction in the nature and scope of your authorities, duties, and responsibilities from their level in effect immediately prior to such Change in Control (for this purpose, if the Corporation ceases to be a publicly-traded corporation, you will be
deemed to have suffered such a reduction in the nature and scope of your authorities, duties, and responsibilities unless you are offered a position as Chief Executive Officer of a publicly-traded parent of the Corporation). 
 (c) the Corporation’s reduction of your annual base salary or bonus opportunity, each as in effect on the date hereof or as the same
may be increased from time to time; 
 (d) the Corporation’s failure to maintain a suitable and appropriate office in New
York, New York or the Corporation’s discontinuance of its agreement to reimburse you for first class air travel for travel between New York, New York and the Corporation’s offices in Alviso, California; 
 (e) the Corporation’s failure to pay to you any portion of your then current compensation or any portion of an installment of
deferred compensation under any deferred compensation program of the Corporation, in each case within seven (7) days of the date such compensation is due; 
 (f) the Corporation’s failure to continue in effect compensation and benefit plans which provide you with benefits which are no less
favorable on an aggregate basis, both in terms of the amount of benefits provided and the level of your participation relative to other participants, to the benefits provided to you under the Corporation’s compensation and benefit plans and
practices immediately prior to the Change in Control; 
  

 4 








 (g) the Corporation’s failure to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor
to assume and agree to perform this Agreement, as contemplated in Section 5 hereof; 
 (h) the Corporation requiring you
to relocate your primary residence from New York; 
 (i) any purported modification of this Agreement by the Corporation or
any termination of your employment by the Corporation for any reason other than for Cause or your Disability; 
 (j) the
Corporation’s providing notice to you pursuant to Section 1 above that it does not wish to extend the term of this Agreement; or 
 (k) the Corporation’s material breach of any provision of your employment agreement with the Corporation. 
 Your right to terminate your employment pursuant to this Section 3(iv) shall not be affected by your incapacity due to physical or mental illness. Your continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with
respect to, any circumstance constituting Good Reason hereunder. 
 (v) Notice of Termination. Any purported
termination of your employment by the Corporation or by you (other than termination due to your death, which shall terminate your employment automatically) shall be communicated by a written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto in
accordance with Section 6. For purposes of this Agreement, “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice that shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement (if any) relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable
detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of your employment under the provision so indicated. 
 (vi) Date of Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, “Date of Termination” shall mean (a) if your employment is terminated due to your death, the date of your death; (b) if your employment is terminated for
Disability, thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination is given (provided that you shall not have returned to the full time performance of your duties during such thirty (30) day period), and (c) if your employment is terminated for
any reason other than death or Disability, the date specified in the Notice of Termination (which, in the case of a termination by the Corporation without Cause shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date such Notice of Termination is
given, and in the case of a termination by you for Good Reason shall not be less than fifteen (15) nor more than thirty (30) days from the date such Notice of Termination is given). 
 4. Compensation Upon Termination. 
 (i) If your employment with the Corporation is terminated by reason of your death, by the Corporation for Cause or Disability, or by you other than for Good Reason, the Corporation shall pay you your full base salary,
when due, through the Date of 

  

 5 








 
Termination at the rate in effect at the time Notice of Termination is given, plus all other amounts to which you are entitled under any compensation plan or
practice of the Corporation at the time such payments are due (including, without limitation, all accrued and unused vacation), and the Corporation shall have no further obligations to you under this Agreement. 
 (ii) If you incur a Payment Termination, then, subject to Section 4(v), in lieu of any severance benefits to which you may otherwise
be entitled under any severance plan or program of the Corporation or by law, you shall be entitled to the benefits provided below: 
 (a) the Corporation shall pay to you your full base salary, when due, through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect at the time Notice of Termination is given, plus all other amounts to which you are entitled under any compensation
plan or practice of the Corporation at the time such payments are due (including, without limitation, all accrued and unused vacation); 
 (b) the Corporation shall, at the time specified in Section 4(iii), pay as severance pay to you a lump-sum severance payment equal to the sum of the following: 
 (A) one hundred percent (100%) of the greater of (x) your monthly base salary as in effect immediately prior to delivery of the
Notice of Termination multiplied by eighteen (18) or (y) your monthly base salary as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control multiplied by eighteen (18); and 
 (B) one hundred percent (100%) of the greater of (x) your targeted annual bonus for the year in which the Date of Termination
occurs or (y) your targeted annual bonus for the year in which the Change in Control occurs, as if the bonus goals are satisfied; 
 (c) you shall immediately become vested with respect to one hundred percent (100%) of the unvested portion of any stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and such other awards granted pursuant
to the Corporation’s stock option and equity incentive award plans or agreements and any shares of stock issued upon exercise thereof that you then hold (including without limitation any stock options or restricted shares of the
Corporation’s capital stock held by you that contain provisions making the vesting of, or lapse of restrictions with respect to, such awards contingent upon the attainment of one or more performance goals) and you shall be permitted to exercise
each of your outstanding vested stock options or stock appreciation rights (or similar equity compensation awards) for the remainder of the original term of such stock option, stock appreciation right or similar award. The foregoing provisions are
hereby deemed to be a part of each stock option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock and such other award granted pursuant to the Corporation’s stock option and equity incentive award plans or agreements and to supersede any less
favorable provision in any agreement or plan regarding such award; 
  

 6 








 (d) for the period beginning on the date of the Payment Termination and ending on the
earlier of (i) the date which is eighteen (18) full months following the date of the Payment Termination or (ii) the first day of your eligibility to participate in a comparable group health plan maintained by a subsequent employer,
the Corporation shall pay for and provide you and your dependents with the same medical benefits coverage to which you would have been entitled had you remained continuously employed by the Corporation during such period. In the event that you are
ineligible under the terms of the Corporation’s benefit plans to continue to be so covered, the Corporation shall provide you with substantially equivalent coverage through other sources. At the termination of the benefits coverage under the
first sentence of this Section 4(ii)(d), you and your dependents shall be entitled to continuation coverage pursuant to Section 4980B of the Code, Sections 601-608 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and
under any other applicable law, to the extent required by (or applicable pursuant to) such laws, as if you had terminated employment with the Corporation on the date such benefits coverage terminates; and 
 (e) the Corporation shall furnish you for six (6) years following the date of the Payment Termination (without reference to whether
the term of this Agreement continues in effect) with directors’ and officers’ liability insurance insuring you against insurable events which occur or have occurred while you were a director or officer of the Corporation, such insurance to
have policy limits aggregating not less than the amount in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, and otherwise to be in substantially the same form and to contain substantially the same terms, conditions and exceptions as the liability
issuance policies provided for officers and directors of the Corporation in force from time to time, provided, however, that such terms, conditions and exceptions shall not be, in the aggregate, materially less favorable to you than those in
effect on the date hereof; provided, further, that if the aggregate annual premiums for such insurance at any time during such period exceed one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the per annum rate of premium currently paid by the
Corporation for such insurance, then the Corporation shall provide the maximum coverage that will then be available at an annual premium equal to one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of such rate. 
 (iii) The payments provided for in Section 4(ii)(b) shall be made on the
sixtieth (60th) day following the date of the Payment Termination. 
 (iv) You shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 4 by seeking other employment or
otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Section 4 be reduced by any compensation earned by you as the result of employment by another employer or self-employment, by retirement benefits, by offset against
any amounts (other than loans or advances to you by the Corporation) claimed to be owed by you to the Corporation, or otherwise. 
  

 7 








 (v) As a condition to your receipt of any benefits described in Section 4(ii) hereof
(other than the benefits described in Section 4(ii)(a)), you shall be required to execute a Release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”) no later than fifty (50) days following the date of your Payment
Termination and you must not revoke the Release during any period permitted under applicable law. 
 5. Successors; Binding Agreement.

 (i) The Corporation shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or
otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Corporation to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation would be required to perform it if no such
succession had taken place. Unless expressly provided otherwise, “Corporation” as used herein shall mean the Corporation as defined in this Agreement and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid. 
 (ii) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by you and your personal or legal representatives, executors,
administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If you should die while any amount would still be payable to you hereunder had you continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement to your devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there is no such designee, to your estate. 
 6. Notice. For purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses set forth on the first page of this Agreement, provided that all notices to the Corporation shall be directed to the attention of its Secretary, or to
such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt. 
 7. Parachute Payments. 
 (a) If it is determined that you would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (a “Parachute Tax”), as a result of the receipt of any payment or other event (collectively, a “Payment”), then
the Corporation will pay to you an additional payment or payments (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment of all federal, state and local income, employment, excise and penalty taxes, you are left with an amount equal
to all taxes payable by you under Section 4999 of the Code applicable to the Payment and the Gross-Up Payment and all penalties and interest imposed with respect to such taxes. 
  

 8 








 (b) All determinations required to be made under this Section 7, including whether a
Parachute Tax is payable by you and the amount of such Parachute Tax and whether a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment, shall be made by the nationally recognized firm of certified public accountants (the
“Accounting Firm”) used by the Corporation as its auditors prior to the Change in Control (or, if such Accounting Firm declines to serve, the Accounting Firm shall be a nationally recognized firm of certified public accountants selected by
the Corporation that is independent of the other person or entity involved in the Change in Control). For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section, the Accounting Firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning
applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code, provided that the Accounting Firm’s determinations must be made with substantial authority (within the
meaning of Section 6662 of the Code). The Accounting Firm shall be directed by the Corporation or you to submit its preliminary determination and detailed supporting calculations to both the Corporation and you within fifteen (15) calendar
days after the date of the Change in Control or any other such time or times as may be requested by you or the Corporation. If the Accounting Firm determines that any Parachute Tax is payable by you, the Corporation shall pay the required Gross-Up
Payment to you, or for your benefit, within five (5) business days after receipt of such determination and calculations (or, if later, the date of the Payment associated with such Parachute Tax), provided that in any event, such Gross-Up
Payment shall be paid to you by the end of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which you remit the Parachute Tax. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Parachute Tax is payable by you, it shall, at the same time as it makes
such determination, furnish you with an opinion and supporting calculations that you have substantial authority not to report any Parachute Tax on your federal tax return. Any good faith determination by the Accounting Firm as to the amount of the
Gross-Up Payment shall be binding upon you and the Corporation absent a contrary determination by the Internal Revenue Service or a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that no such determination shall eliminate or reduce the
Corporation’s obligation to provide any Gross-Up Payments that shall be due as a result of such contrary determination. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Code Section 4999 at the time of any determination by the
Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments that will not have been made by the Corporation should have been made (an “Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that
the Corporation exhausts or fails to pursue its remedies pursuant to Section 7(f) hereof and you thereafter are required to make a payment of any Parachute Tax, you shall direct the Accounting Firm to determine the amount of the Underpayment
that has occurred and to submit its determination and detailed supporting calculations to both you and the Corporation as promptly as possible. Any such Underpayment plus applicable interest and penalty taxes shall be promptly paid by the
Corporation to you, or for your benefit, within five (5) business days after receipt of such determination and calculations. 
 (c) You and the Corporation shall each provide the Accounting Firm access to and copies of any books, records and documents in your possession reasonably requested by the Accounting Firm, and otherwise cooperate with the Accounting Firm in
connection with the preparation and issuance of the determination contemplated by Section 7(b) hereof. 
  

 9 








 (d) The federal tax returns filed by you (or any filing made by a consolidated tax group
which includes the Corporation) shall be prepared and filed on a basis consistent with the determination of the Accounting Firm with respect to the Parachute Tax payable by you. You shall make proper payment of the amount of any Parachute Tax, and
at the request of the Corporation, provide to the Corporation true and correct copies (with any amendments) of the applicable sections of his federal income tax return as filed with the Internal Revenue Service, and such other documents reasonably
requested by the Corporation, evidencing such payment. If prior to the filing of your federal income tax return, the Accounting Firm determines in good faith that the amount of the Gross-Up Payment should be reduced, you shall within five
(5) business days pay to the Corporation the amount of such reduction. 
 (e) The fees and expenses of the Accounting
Firm for its services in connection with the determinations and calculations contemplated by this Section shall be borne by the Corporation. 
 (f) In the event that the Internal Revenue Service claims that any payment or benefit received by you from the Corporation constitutes an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Code
Section 280G(b)(1), you shall notify the Corporation in writing of such claim. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but not later than twenty (20) business days after you are informed in writing of such claim and shall
apprise the Corporation of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. You shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which you give such notice to the
Corporation (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the Corporation notifies you in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, you shall
(i) give the Corporation any information reasonably requested by the Corporation relating to such claim; (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Corporation shall reasonably request in writing from time to
time, including without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Corporation and reasonably satisfactory to you; (iii) cooperate with the Corporation in good faith in order
to effectively contest such claim; and (iv) permit the Corporation to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim; provided, however, that the Corporation shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including, but not limited
to, additional interest and penalties and related legal, consulting or other similar fees) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold you harmless, on an after-tax basis, for and against for any Parachute Tax or income tax
or other tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. 
 (g) The Corporation shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the
taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct you to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner and you agree to prosecute such contest to a determination before any
administrative tribunal, in a court of initial 

  

 10 








 
jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Corporation shall determine; provided, however, that if the Corporation directs you to pay such
claim and sue for a refund or otherwise contest such claim, the Corporation shall advance the amount of such payment together with any reasonable legal fees or other expenses incurred by you in connection with such request to you on an interest-free
basis, and shall indemnify and hold you harmless, on an after tax basis, from any Parachute Tax (or other tax including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with
respect to such advance; and provided, further, that if you are required to extend the statue of limitations to enable the Corporation to contest such claim, you may limit this extension solely to such contested amount. The Corporation’s
control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a corporate deduction would be disallowed pursuant to Code Section 280G and you shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the
Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority. In addition, no position may be taken nor any final resolution be agreed to by the Corporation without your consent if such position or resolution could reasonably be expected to adversely
affect you unrelated to matters covered hereto. 
 (h) If, after the receipt by you of an amount advanced by the Corporation
in connection with the contest of the Parachute Tax claim, you receive any refund with respect to such claim, you shall promptly pay to the Corporation the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes
applicable thereto); provided, however, if the amount of that refund exceeds the amount advanced by the Corporation, you may retain such excess. If, after the receipt by you of an amount advanced by the Corporation in connection with a Parachute Tax
claim, a determination is made that you shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the Corporation does not notify you in writing of its intent to contest the denial of such refund prior to the expiration of thirty
(30) days after such determination such advance shall be deemed to be in consideration for services rendered after the date of your termination. 
 8. Confidentiality and Non-Solicitation Covenants. 
 (i) Confidentiality. You
hereby agree that, other than as you determine in good faith is necessary or appropriate in the discharge of your duties to the Corporation, during the term of this Agreement and thereafter, you shall not, directly or indirectly, disclose or make
available to any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever, any Confidential Information (as defined below). You further agree that, upon termination of your employment with the Corporation, all
Confidential Information in your possession that is in written or other tangible form (together with all copies or duplicates thereof, including computer files) shall be returned to the Corporation and shall not be retained by you or furnished to
any third party, in any form except as provided herein; provided, however, that this Section 8(i) shall not apply to Confidential Information that (a) was publicly known at the time of disclosure to you, (b) becomes publicly
known or available thereafter other than by any means in violation of this Agreement or any other duty owed to the Corporation by you, (c) is lawfully disclosed to you by a third party, (d) is required to be disclosed by law or by any
court, 

  

 11 








 
arbitrator, mediator or administrative or legislative body (including any committee thereof) with actual or apparent jurisdiction to order you to disclose or
make accessible any information, or (e) is related to any litigation, arbitration or mediation between the parties, including, but not limited to, the enforcement of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term “Confidential
Information” means: information disclosed to you or known by you as a consequence of or through your relationship with the Corporation about the customers, employees, business methods, public relations methods, organization, procedures or
finances, including, without limitation, information of or relating to customer lists, product lists, product road maps, technology specifications or other information related to the products and services of the Corporation and its affiliates.
Nothing herein shall limit in any way any obligation you may have relating to Confidential Information under any other agreement with or promise to the Corporation. 
 (ii) Non-Solicitation. You hereby agree that, for the eighteen (18) month period immediately following the Date of
Termination, you shall not, either on your own account or jointly with or as a manager, agent, officer, employee, consultant, partner, joint venturer, owner or shareholder or otherwise on behalf of any other person, firm or corporation, directly or
indirectly solicit or attempt to solicit away from the Corporation any of its officers or employees or offer employment to any person who, on or during the six (6) months immediately preceding the date of such solicitation or offer, is or was
an officer or employee of the Corporation; provided, however, that (i) a general advertisement to which an employee of the Corporation responds shall in no event be deemed to result in a breach of this Section 7(ii), and
(ii) it shall not be a violation of this Section 8(ii) for Executive to directly or indirectly solicit the employment of, or to hire, his current executive assistant. 
 (iii) Survival; Reformation. The provisions of this Section 7 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement
and your employment with the Corporation and shall be fully enforceable thereafter. If it shall be finally determined that any restriction in this Section 7 is excessive in duration or scope or is unreasonable or unenforceable under the laws of
any state or jurisdiction, it is the intention of the parties that such restriction may be modified or amended to render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the law of that state or jurisdiction. 
 (iv) Equitable Relief. In the event that you shall breach or threaten to breach any of the provisions of this Section 8, in
addition to and without limiting or waiving any other remedies available to the Corporation in law or in equity, the Corporation shall be entitled to immediate injunctive relief in any court, domestic or foreign, having the capacity to grant such
relief, to restrain such breach or threatened breach and to enforce the provisions of this Section 8. You acknowledge that it is impossible to measure in money the damages that the Corporation will sustain in the event that you breach or
threaten to breach the provisions of this Section 8 and, in the event that the Corporation shall institute any action or proceeding to enforce such provisions seeking injunctive relief, you hereby waive and agree not to assert and shall not use
as a defense thereto the claim or defense that the Corporation has an adequate remedy at law. The foregoing shall not prejudice the right of the Corporation to require you to account for and pay over to the Corporation the amount of any actual
damages incurred by the Corporation as a result of such breach. 
  

 12 








 9. Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such
waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by you and such officer as may be specifically designated by the Board. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of or compliance with,
any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreements or representations, oral or
otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be
governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflicts of law principles. All references to sections of the Exchange Act or the Code shall be deemed also to refer to any successor provisions to such sections. Except as
provided in Section 4(ii)(f) hereunder, any payments provided for hereunder shall be paid net of any applicable withholding required under federal, state or local law. The obligations of the Corporation under Section 4 shall survive the
expiration of the term of this Agreement. The section headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience only, and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement. 
 10. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any
other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. 
 11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
 12. Arbitration; Dispute Resolution, Etc. 
 (i) Arbitration Procedures. Except as set forth in
Section 8(iv), any disagreement, dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the interpretation of this Agreement or any arrangements relating to this Agreement or contemplated in this Agreement or the breach,
termination or invalidity thereof shall be settled by final and binding arbitration administered by JAMS/Endispute in San Jose, California in accordance with the then existing JAMS/Endispute Arbitration Rules and Procedures for Employment Disputes.
In the event of such an arbitration proceeding, you and the Corporation shall select a mutually acceptable neutral arbitrator from among the JAMS/Endispute panel of arbitrators. In the event you and the Corporation cannot agree on an arbitrator, the
Administrator of JAMS/Endispute will appoint an arbitrator. Neither you nor the Corporation nor the arbitrator shall disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of all parties. Except as
provided herein, the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation, enforcement and all proceedings. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive law (and the law of remedies, if applicable) of the state of California, or federal law, or
both, as applicable, and the arbitrator is without jurisdiction to apply any different substantive law. The 

  

 13 








 
arbitrator shall have the authority to entertain a motion to dismiss and/or a motion for summary judgment by any party and shall apply the standards
governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The arbitrator shall render an award and a written, reasoned opinion in support thereof. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. 

(ii) Compensation During Dispute, Etc. Your compensation during any disagreement, dispute, controversy, claim, suit, action or
proceeding (collectively, a “Dispute”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the interpretation of this Agreement shall be as follows: 
 If there is a termination of your employment with the Corporation followed by a Dispute as to whether you are entitled to the payments and other benefits provided under this Agreement, then, during the period of that
Dispute the Corporation shall pay you fifty percent (50%) of the amounts specified in Section 4(ii)(b) hereof, and the Corporation shall provide you with the other benefits provided in Section 4(ii) of this Agreement, if, but only if,
you agree in writing that if the Dispute is resolved against you, you shall promptly refund to the Corporation all payments you receive under Section 4(ii)(b) of this Agreement plus interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(d) of the
Code, compounded quarterly. If the Dispute is resolved in your favor, promptly after resolution of the Dispute the Corporation shall pay you all amounts which were withheld during the period of the Dispute plus interest at the rate provided in
Section 1274(d) of the Code, compounded quarterly. 
 (iii) Expenses; Legal Fees. The Corporation shall pay, or
reimburse you for, all administrative fees and costs, and all arbitrator’s fees and expenses incurred by you in connection with any Dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement. The Corporation shall pay, or reimburse you for, all
expenses and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by you in connection with any Dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the interpretation thereof with respect to which you prevail. In addition, the Corporation shall pay your
reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in connection with negotiating and documenting this Agreement. Any reimbursements payable to you pursuant to this Section 12(iii) shall be paid to you no later than December 31 of the year following
the year in which the cost was incurred. The amount of expenses reimbursed in one year shall not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement in any subsequent year, and your right to reimbursement under this Section 12(iii) will not be subject
to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 
 13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties
hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations or warranties, whether oral or written, by any officer, employee or representative of
any party hereto, and any prior agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein, including, without limitation, any prior severance agreements, is hereby terminated and cancelled. Any of your rights hereunder shall
be in addition to any rights you may otherwise have under benefit plans or agreements of the Corporation (other than severance plans or agreements) to which you are a party or in which you are a participant, including, but not limited to, any
Corporation sponsored employee benefit plans and stock options plans. For the avoidance of doubt, this 

  

 14 








 
Agreement will supersede any provisions contained in the Corporation’s stock option plan or otherwise that would impose a “cut-back” under
Section 280G of the Code. The provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way abrogate your rights under such other plans and agreements. In addition this Agreement shall not limit in any way any obligation you may have under any other
agreement with or promise to the Corporation relating to employee confidentiality, proprietary rights in technology or the assignment of interests in any intellectual property. 
 14. At-Will Employment. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall (i) confer upon you any right to continue in the employ of the Corporation,
(ii) constitute any contract or agreement of employment, or (iii) interfere in any way with the at-will nature of your employment with the Corporation. 
 15. Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if you are deemed by the Corporation at the time of your Separation from Service to be a “specified
employee” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of the benefits to which you are entitled under this Agreement is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such portion of your benefits shall not be provided to you prior to the earlier of (a) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of your Separation from Service with the Corporation
or (b) the date of your death. Upon the first business day following the expiration of the applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) period, all payments deferred pursuant to this Section 15 shall be paid in a lump sum to you, and any
remaining payments due under the Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein.
