 Noel B. Watson 

Dear Noel: 
 On behalf of LegalZoom.com, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), I am pleased to provide you an offer of continuing employment with the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this letter (this “Agreement”). All capitalized
terms not otherwise defined shall have the definition and meaning provided in Section 17. 
 1. Title; Duties; Reporting. You will serve as the
Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and shall report directly to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). You shall be a member of the Company’s senior management team and shall have such
duties and responsibilities as shall be consistent with your position. You will also devote your full time, efforts, abilities, and energies, except for as permitted in Section 1(b) below and except for approved vacation periods and reasonable
periods of illness or other incapacities permitted by the Company’s general employment policies, to promote the general welfare and interests of the Company and any related enterprises of the Company. You will loyally, conscientiously, and
professionally do and perform all duties and responsibilities of your position, as well as any other duties and responsibilities as will be reasonably assigned to you by the Company and modified as the Company deems necessary and appropriate in
light of the Company’s needs and interests from time to time, consistent with your position and this Agreement. You will strictly adhere to and obey all Company rules, policies, procedures, regulations and guidelines including, but not limited
to, those contained in the Company’s employee handbook, as well as any others that the Company may establish. You will strictly adhere to all applicable state and/or federal laws and/or regulations relating to your employment with the Company.

 (a) No Conflicting Obligations. By signing this Agreement, you confirm to the Company that you have no contractual commitments or
other legal obligations that would prohibit you from performing your duties for the Company or executing this Agreement. 
 (b) Outside
Activities. You may (i) serve as a director or member of a committee or organization (including your current role as a member of the Board of Directors of Zynga) involving no actual or potential conflict of interest with the Company and its
subsidiaries and affiliates; (ii) deliver lectures and fulfill speaking engagements; (iii) engage in charitable and community activities; and (iv) invest your personal assets in such form or manner that will not violate this
Agreement; provided, however, that the activities described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) do not materially affect, interfere, or create an actual or potential conflict of interest with the performance of your duties and obligations to
the Company, and further provided that the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) must provide its advance written consent with respect to you engaging in any subsequent activities referenced in clause (i) which
consent the Board may provide or withhold in its reasonable discretion. 












 2. Term. 

(a) Term of Agreement. This Agreement and your employment under the terms hereunder shall take effect immediately prior to, and
contingent upon, the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the initial public offering of the Company’s common stock (the
“Effective Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event you do not remain employed with the Company through the Effective Date or the Effective Date does not occur, this Agreement will have no effect, will not be binding on
the Company (or any of its affiliates) or on you, and neither you nor the Company (or any of its affiliates) shall have rights or obligations hereunder. The period from the Effective Date until the termination of your employment under this Agreement
is hereinafter referred to as “the term of this Agreement” or “the term hereof” or “the Term.” 
 (b)
Resignation. Upon termination of your employment for any reason, you shall be deemed to have immediately resigned from all positions as an employee, officer and/or director with the Company, and any of its affiliates, as of your last day of
employment (the “Termination Date”). This Agreement shall serve as notice of such resignations by you; provided, however, you agree to execute any documents that the Company may reasonably request evidencing such resignations. 

3. Compensation. 
 (a)
Base Salary. As of the Effective Date, your base salary shall be $450,000 per year, less applicable withholdings and deductions, payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll procedures. The base salary as determined herein
and adjusted from time to time shall constitute the “Base Salary” for purposes of this Agreement. 
 (b) Performance
Bonus. During each fiscal year of the Company during the Term, you will be eligible to earn a cash performance bonus (“Performance Bonus”) with a target amount of 50% of your Base Salary for the applicable fiscal year of the
Company. Your actual bonus for any fiscal year, if any, shall be based on the successful completion of the performance objectives that are prescribed and established by the Board (or its compensation committee), in consultation with the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Except as set forth in Section 4(a), to earn and receive any Performance Bonus, you must remain employed by the Company through the date of each of the Performance Bonus payment and the termination of
your employment for any reason before such payment date means you will not receive such payment. The Performance Bonus will be paid to you at the same time as other similarly-situated employees of the Company in accordance with Section 409A and
will be paid no later than May 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year of performance. 

(c) Signing Bonus. You were previously paid a one-time signing bonus of $300,000, less all
applicable deductions and withholdings. You acknowledge and agree that if your employment with the Company is terminated for Cause or you resign your employment without Good Reason, in either case on or prior to the
one-year anniversary of your first day of employment with the Company, you will be responsible for repaying a pro-rated amount of such signing bonus based on
(i) the number of days between your termination date and the one year anniversary of the Effective Date, divided by (ii) 365. 












 (d) Company-Sponsored Benefits. As a member of the senior management team of the
Company, you will also be eligible to receive all Exempt-Level Benefits pursuant to the Company’s standard benefit plans that the Company generally provides to the other members of the senior management team that may be in effect from time to
time. These currently include, without limitation, group health benefits, 401(k) retirement benefits, business expense reimbursements, PTO, sick time and Company paid holidays. The Company may, in its sole discretion and from time to time, amend or
eliminate any of these benefits. 
 (e) Indemnification. You shall be entitled to indemnification for losses incurred in connection
with your service as an officer or employee (including coverage under applicable insurance policies) on terms no less favorable than any other senior executive of the Company and as otherwise required by applicable law. 

(f) Equity Compensation. 

(i) Performance-Vested Options. You and the Company acknowledge and agree that on November 18, 2020, the Board granted you a stock
option to purchase shares of the common stock of the Company (the “Performance-Vested Options”) under the Company’s 2016 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2016 Plan”), and a stock option agreement
thereunder (the “Performance Option Agreement”) with a grant date value of $3,000,000 (calculated as set forth on Exhibit C). The Performance-Vested Options shall vest in accordance with the amended vesting schedule set forth in
Section 3(f)(ii) below. All vesting is subject to your continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date or event. Except as described in this Section 3(f)(i), the Performance-Vested Options reflect the
Company’s standard terms and conditions for grants of equity compensation (including an exercise price at fair market value on the date of grant). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of an extraordinary dividend, the Company shall make
equitable adjustments to the Performance-Vested Options or provide equivalent cash payments to you (which may be subject to the same vesting schedule as applicable to the Performance-Vested Options) in lieu of adjustment. 

(ii) Amendment to Performance-Vested Options. By signing this Agreement, you agree that the “Vesting Schedule” section in the
“Notice of Stock Option Grant” in Part I of the Performance Option Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 

“Vesting Schedule: This Option shall vest according to the following schedule: 

One forty-eighth (1/48th) of the Shares subject to the Option shall vest each month following November 15, 2020 (the “Vesting
Commencement Date”) on the same day of the month as the Vesting Commencement Date (and if there is no corresponding day, on the last day of the month), subject to Optionee continuing to be a Service Provider through each such date.”

 Except as expressly amended by this section 3(f)(ii), the Performance Option Agreement (as defined above) shall be unaffected hereby and
shall remain in full force and effect. 












 (iii) RSUs. You and the Company acknowledge and agree that on November 18, 2020,
the Board granted you restricted stock units under the 2016 Plan with a grant date value of $5,000,000, calculated as set forth on Exhibit C (the “RSUs”). The RSUs reflect the Company’s standard terms and conditions for grants
of restricted stock units; provided, however, that the RSUs shall vest only upon the achievement of both a Liquidity Event (as defined below) condition and a service-based condition. The RSUs shall satisfy the service-based condition quarterly over
4 years (from November 15, 2020) with a 12-month cliff (meaning amounts that otherwise would satisfy the service-based condition during the first 12 months shall be scheduled to satisfy the service-based
condition on the first anniversary of November 15, 2020), subject to your continued employment with the Company through each date on which the service-based condition is scheduled to be satisfied. In the event that your employment is terminated
without Cause by the Company or by you for Good Reason outside of the Change in Control Period, then the number of RSUs that otherwise would have met the service-based condition had you remained employed by the Company through the twelve (12)- month
anniversary of the date of such termination of your employment shall be deemed to immediately meet the service-based condition. The Liquidity Event condition will be deemed to have been met as of the occurrence of a Liquidity Event. For purposes of
vesting of the RSUs, a “Liquidity Event” shall be deemed to occur on the first to occur of (i) a Change in Control, or (ii) a Public Trading Date (as defined in the 2016 Plan). Furthermore, in the event of a Liquidity
Event, an additional 25% of the shares subject to the service-based condition shall also vest. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Liquidity Event condition is satisfied before the completion of the service-based condition, the RSUs shall continue to
vest in accordance with the original service-based vesting schedule (and shall be settled immediately upon each such service-based vesting date). For the further avoidance of doubt, if your employment terminates for any reason other than for Cause,
you shall retain any service-vested RSUs until the expiration of the term of the RSUs (which, to comply with Section 409A, shall be 6.5 years from the date of grant) or the earlier settlement of the service-vested RSUs upon satisfaction of the
Liquidity Event condition. 
 (iv) IPO RSUs. At the Effective Date, you will be granted restricted stock units (each, an “IPO
RSU” and collectively, the “IPO RSUs”) with an approximate grant date value of $1,245,000 (the “IPO RSUs Grant Date Value”), subject to both (A) approval by the Board or the Compensation Committee of
the Board (the “Compensation Committee”), and (B) you remaining employed through the grant date of the IPO RSUs. Each IPO RSU will cover one share of the Company’s common stock, and the aggregate number of IPO RSUs will be
calculated by dividing the IPO RSUs Grant Date Value by the initial per share price to the public as set forth in the final prospectus included within the registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for the initial public offering of the Company’s common stock, provided that any fractional restricted stock unit resulting from such division will be rounded down to the nearest whole unit. The IPO RSUs shall
be granted under the 2016 Plan and the Company’s standard form of restricted stock unit agreement approved by the Board for use thereunder. Subject to Section 4(a) below and the terms of the 2016 Plan, twenty-five percent (25%) of the IPO
RSUs shall vest on the one-year anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date (as defined below), and one-twelfth
(1/12th) of the remaining IPO RSUs shall vest on each of the next twelve (12) Quarterly Vesting Dates thereafter, subject to your continuous status as a Service Provider (as defined in the
2016 Plan) on each vesting date. The “Vesting Commencement Date” shall mean the first Quarterly Vesting Date following the Effective Date, provided if the Effective Date occurs on a Quarterly Vesting Date, the Vesting Commencement
Date shall mean the Effective Date. 












 
“Quarterly Vesting Dates” shall mean each of February 15, May 15, August 15, and November 15; provided, however, that to the extent any such date occurs on a
weekend day or U.S. federal holiday, the Quarterly Vesting Date will be deemed to occur on the immediately following day that is not a weekend day or U.S. federal holiday. 

(v) IPO Option. At the Effective Date, you will be granted a stock option to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the
“IPO Option”), subject to both (A) approval by the Board or the Compensation Committee, and (B) you remaining employed through the grant date of the IPO Option. The aggregate number of shares subject to the IPO Option will
be calculated by multiplying the aggregate number of IPO RSUs by 2.5, provided any fractional share resulting from such multiplication will be rounded down to the nearest whole share. The IPO Option will have a per share exercise price equal to 100%
of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, as determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion. The IPO Option shall be granted under the 2016 Plan and the Company’s
standard form of stock option agreement approved by the Board for use thereunder. Subject to Section 4(a) below and the terms of the 2016 Plan, twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares of the Company’s common stock subject to the IPO Option
shall vest on the one-year anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date (as defined above), and one-twelfth (1/12th)
of the remaining shares of the Company’s common stock subject to the IPO Option shall vest on each of the next twelve (12) Quarterly Vesting Dates (as defined above) thereafter, subject to your continuous status as a Service Provider (as
defined in the 2016 Plan) on each vesting date. 
 (vi) General Conditions. Except as explicitly set forth herein, the vesting of the
Performance-Vested Options, RSUs, IPO RSUs and IPO Option (collectively, the “Equity Awards”) is subject to your continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date or event and, except as explicitly set forth
herein, the Equity Awards reflect (or in the case of the IPO RSUs and IPO Option, shall reflect) the Company’s standard terms and conditions for grants of equity compensation (including, as applicable, an exercise price at fair market value on
the date of grant for stock options). 
 4. Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, whether express or
implied, your employment with the Company is at-will and the Company may at any time terminate your employment with the Company and the Term, for any reason or no reason, and with or without Cause, and you may
resign from your employment with or without Good Reason and terminate the Term, in each case subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and all as set forth in greater detail in this Section 4. If your employment terminates due to
your resignation without Good Reason or by the Company for Cause, then you will not be eligible for any severance benefits. You shall receive payment from the Company of the Accrued Obligations through the Termination Date upon the termination of
your employment for any reason. 
 (a) Severance and Other Termination Benefits. Subject to Section 4(a)(iv), if during the Term
there is a Qualifying Termination or your employment with the Company terminates as a result of your death or Disability, then you shall be eligible to receive the following payments and benefits (as applicable, the “Severance
Benefits”): 












 (i) Qualifying Termination Outside of the Change in Control Period. In the event you
have a Qualifying Termination that occurs outside of the Change in Control Period, the Severance Benefits shall consist of the following: 

(A) cash severance payments of twelve (12) months’ continued Base Salary, subject to all applicable deductions and withholdings,
paid in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll schedule over a period of twelve (12) months; provided, however (x) amounts shall accrue until the Release (as defined below) becomes fully and irrevocably effective, and
(y) in the event the Release Period spans two calendar years, no amount of such cash severance payments will be paid prior to January 1 of the second calendar year; and 

(B) to the extent permitted by applicable laws without incurring statutory penalties, the Company will reimburse the cost (to the same extent
that the Company was paying as of immediately before the Termination Date) for all group employee health benefits coverage continuation under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”) to the
same extent provided by the Company’s group health plans immediately before the Termination Date (“COBRA Benefits”) for twelve (12) months after the Termination Date or until you become eligible for group health insurance
benefits from another employer, whichever occurs first, provided that you timely elect COBRA coverage. You agree (i) at any time either before or during the period of time you are receiving the COBRA Benefits to inform the Company promptly in
writing if you become eligible to receive group health coverage from another employer and to respond to any Company inquiries confirming that you did not become eligible for other coverage; and (ii) that you may not increase the number of your
designated dependents, if any, during this time unless you do so at your own expense. The period of such COBRA Benefits shall be considered part of your COBRA coverage entitlement period. Reimbursement for the COBRA Benefits shall be provided to you
within sixty (60) days of your submission of evidence of the premium payment, subject to such submission being delivered to the Company within sixty (60) days of your making the applicable payment; and 

(C) immediate vesting acceleration of the Performance-Vested Options to the extent outstanding and unvested as of the date of your Qualifying
Termination, in each case as to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock subject to such award that otherwise would have vested had you remained employed by the Company through the twelve (12)- month anniversary of the date of your
Qualifying Termination; and 
 (D) the Performance-Vested Options and IPO Option to the extent outstanding and vested as of the date of
your Qualifying Termination (after giving effect to the vesting acceleration described in subpart (C) above and any other applicable vesting acceleration) shall each remain outstanding and exercisable until the earlier of (i) the
expiration of the original term of such stock option, (ii) the one-year anniversary of the date of your Qualifying Termination, provided if such stock option is the IPO Option, then the 90th day following your Qualifying Termination instead, and (iii) immediately prior to the effective time of a Change in Control if such stock option is not assumed, continued or substituted by the
surviving or acquiring entity (or its parent) in connection with such Change in Control. 












 (ii) Qualifying Termination During the Change in Control Period. In the event you
have a Qualifying Termination that occurs during the Change in Control Period, the Severance Benefits shall instead consist of the following: 

(A) a cash severance payment equal to the sum of: (i) twelve (12) months’ of your Base Salary plus (ii) a cash payment equal to
your Performance Bonus at target level for the fiscal year of the Company in which your Qualifying Termination occurs, subject to all applicable deductions and withholdings, paid as a one-time, lump-sum payment on the first regularly-scheduled Company payroll date falling after the date the Release becomes fully and irrevocably effective, provided that in the event the Release Period spans two calendar
years, no amount of such cash severance payment will be paid prior to January 1 of the second calendar year; and 
 (B) the COBRA
Benefits, subject to the same terms and conditions set forth in Section 4(a)(i)(B); and 
 (C) immediate vesting acceleration of one
hundred percent (100%) of the Performance-Vested Options, RSUs, IPO RSUs and IPO Option to the extent outstanding and unvested as of the date of your Qualifying Termination; and 

(D) the Performance-Vested Options and IPO Option to the extent outstanding and vested as of the date of your Qualifying Termination (after
giving effect to the vesting acceleration described in subpart (C) above and any other applicable vesting acceleration) shall each remain outstanding and exercisable until the earlier of: (i) the expiration of the original term of such
stock option, (ii) the one-year anniversary of the date of your Qualifying Termination, and (iii) immediately prior to the effective time of a Change in Control if such stock option is not assumed,
continued or substituted by the surviving or acquiring entity (or its parent) in connection with such Change in Control. 
 (iii)
Termination of Employment due to Death or Disability. In the event your employment with the Company terminates as a result of your death or Disability, the Severance Benefits shall instead consist of the following: (A) the
Performance-Vested Options, RSUs, IPO RSUs and IPO Option to the extent unvested and outstanding immediately prior to such termination of your employment shall immediately become fully vested and, as applicable, exercisable; and (B) the
Performance-Vested Options and IPO Option to the extent vested and outstanding on the date of such termination of your employment (after giving effect to the vesting acceleration provided for in clause (A) above and any other applicable vesting
acceleration) shall remain outstanding and exercisable until the earlier of: (i) the expiration of the original term of such stock option, (ii) the one-year anniversary of the date of your
termination of employment with the Company, and (iii) immediately prior to the effective time of a Change in Control if such stock options are not assumed, continued or substituted by the surviving or acquiring entity (or its parent) in
connection with such Change in Control. 
 (iv) Release of Claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in order to receive any
Severance Benefits, you (or after your death, your estate) must timely execute and deliver (and not revoke) a separation agreement and general release of claims in favor of the Company, any affiliates or related entities, and their employees and
affiliates, substantially in the 












 
form and content attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Release”), within the time period specified in the release, but in any event such release must become effective by its
terms by no later than the 55th day following the Termination Date (such time period, extended by an additional 7 days, the “Release Period”). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall you be eligible to receive Severance
Benefits pursuant to both Section 4(a)(i) and Section 4(a)(ii) and you are not eligible to receive any Severance Benefits in the event your employment is terminated as a result of your death or Disability other than as provided for in
Section 4(a)(iii). You shall receive payment or benefits from the Company of the Accrued Obligations, as applicable, regardless of whether a separation agreement and general release of claims in the form and content attached as Exhibit A
hereto is executed and timely provided to the Company. 
 (b) Termination for Cause. The Company may terminate your employment and
the Term at any time for Cause. In the event you are provided written notice of a potential termination for Cause (subject to any cure period), your right to exercise any equity compensation award (and the vesting or settlement of any equity
compensation award) shall automatically be suspended during the cure period (if any). Upon the termination of your employment for Cause, you shall not be entitled to exercise any outstanding equity compensation award whatsoever and all of your
outstanding equity compensation awards (both vested and unvested) shall automatically terminate without consideration. Any determination by the Company with respect to the foregoing shall be final, conclusive and binding on all interested parties.
Any termination for Cause will not limit any other right or remedy the Company may have under this Agreement or otherwise. 
 (c)
Termination without Cause. The Company shall have the unilateral right to terminate your employment and the Term at any time without Cause, and without notice, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion. Any such termination without
Cause shall not constitute a breach of any term of this Agreement, express or implied, or a wrongful deprivation of your office or position. If the Company terminates your employment and the Term without Cause, it shall be treated as a Qualifying
Termination and the Company shall have no obligation to you, except to pay you (or cause to occur, if applicable) the amounts (and actions) set forth in Section 4(a) above in accordance with the terms thereof. 

(d) Termination due to Death. Your employment and the Term will be automatically terminated on the date of your death. 

(e) Termination due to Disability. If you are subject to a Disability, and if within thirty (30) days after written notice is
provided to you by the Company you shall not have returned to fully perform your duties, your employment and the Term, upon a second written notice from the Company, will be terminated for Disability as of the date set forth in such second written
notice. 
 (f) Resignation for Good Reason. You may terminate your employment and the Term at any time for Good Reason; provided that
you provide the Company with written notice within thirty (30) days of the date of the initial existence of the purported Good Reason event and such notice must describe in detail the basis and underlying facts supporting your belief that a
Good Reason event has occurred (the “Good Reason Notice”). Failure to timely provide such Good Reason Notice to the Company means that you will be deemed to have consented to and irrevocably waived that particular potential Good
Reason event. After its receipt of the Good Reason Notice, the Company shall then have sixty (60) days to cure or remedy the alleged Good 












 
Reason event. If the Company does cure or remedy the alleged Good Reason event during such sixty (60) day period then the Good Reason event will be deemed to have not occurred. If the
Company does not cure or remedy the Good Reason event during such sixty (60) day period then your employment with the Company shall be automatically terminated for Good Reason as of the day following the expiration of the sixty (60) day
cure/remedy period. If you terminate your employment for Good Reason in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(f), it shall be treated as a Qualifying Termination and the Company shall pay you (or cause to occur, if applicable) the
amounts (and actions) set forth in Section 4(a) above in accordance with the terms thereof and any related provisions of this Agreement. 

(g) Resignation without Good Reason. You may terminate your employment and the Term at any time for no reason, or for any reason that
does not otherwise constitute Good Reason, in your sole and absolute discretion, but only if you provide written notice to the Company at least fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of your intended resignation date (and such notice
must specify the effective date of your resignation of employment). In the event you so terminate your employment without Good Reason, you shall only be entitled to receive (subject to Section 14 below) the Accrued Obligations through the
Termination Date and neither you nor the Company shall have any further obligations to the other except as set forth in Sections 6 through 15. 

(h) The Company is not obligated to employ your services (nor compensate you) for any length of time beyond the fifteen (15) day period
commencing from the date of your written notice to the Company of your intended resignation. Further, the Company is not obligated to actually utilize your services at any time during such period commencing from the date of your written notice to
the Company of your intended resignation through the Termination Date, and the Company may prevent you from accessing any of the Company’s premises or resources during such period. 

5. Golden Parachute Excise Tax. 

(a) In the event that it shall be determined that any payment, distribution or other action by the Company to or for your benefit (whether
paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, (a “Payment”)) would be subject to any excise tax (an “Excise Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and if, immediately prior to the Relevant 280G Event (as defined below), the Payments are eligible for the shareholder approval exemption under Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of
the Code, then: (i) the Company shall submit the Payments for shareholder approval to the extent necessary for no Excise Tax to be due and (ii) you shall execute such releases or other documents necessary to seek to obtain the requisite
shareholder approval in a manner satisfying Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code. For purposes of this Section 5, “Relevant 280G Event” means the relevant change in ownership or effective control, or change in the
ownership of a substantial portion of the assets, of a corporation (all within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code), that will or may result in Payments becoming subject to the Excise Tax. 

(b) In the event that the payments are not eligible for the shareholder approval exemption under Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code, then
the Payments shall be payable as to such less amount which would result in no portion of such payments or distributions being subject to the Excise Tax; provided, however, that no such reduction shall be made if the net after-tax 












 
amount (after taking into account federal, state, local or other income, employment and excise taxes) to which you would otherwise be entitled without such reduction would be greater than the net
after-tax amount (after taking into account federal, state, local or other income, employment and excise taxes) to you resulting from the receipt of such payments and benefits with such reduction. 

(c) If a reduction in the Payments is necessary so that no Payment is subject to the Excise Tax, the reduction shall occur in the following
order: (1) reduction of cash payments for which the full amount is treated as a parachute payment; (2) cancellation of accelerated vesting (or, if necessary, payment) of cash awards for which the full amount is not treated as a parachute
payment; (3) cancellation of any accelerated vesting of equity compensation awards; and (4) reduction of any continued employee benefits. In selecting the equity compensation awards (if any) for which vesting will be reduced under clause
(3) of the preceding sentence, awards shall be selected in a manner that maximizes the after-tax aggregate amount of the Payments provided to you; provided, that, if (and only if) necessary
in order to avoid the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A (as defined below), awards instead shall be selected in the reverse order of the date of grant. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of measuring an equity
compensation award’s value to you, such award’s value shall equal the then aggregate fair market value of the vested shares underlying the award less any aggregate exercise price less applicable taxes. Also, if two or more equity
compensation awards are granted on the same date, each award will be reduced on a pro-rata basis. In no event shall you have any discretion with respect to the ordering of payment reductions. 

(d) In no event will the Company be required to gross up any payment or benefit to you to avoid the effects of the Excise Tax or to pay any
regular or excise taxes arising from the application of the Excise Tax. 
 (e) All mathematical determinations and all determinations of
whether any of the Payments are “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G) that are required to be made under this Section 5, shall be made by a nationally recognized independent audit firm, law firm or other
advisor selected by the Company (the “Advisors”), who shall provide their determination, together with detailed supporting calculations regarding the amount of any relevant matters, both to the Company and to you. Such determination
shall be made by the Advisors using reasonable good faith interpretations of the Code. Any determination by the Advisors shall be binding upon the Company and you, absent manifest error. 

6. Expense Reimbursement. You shall be reimbursed for all documented reasonable business expenses that are incurred in the ordinary course of business
upon the properly completed and timely submission of requisite forms and receipts to the Company in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy as in effect from time to time. 

7. Confidential Information. 
 (a) As an
employee of the Company, you will have access to certain confidential information of the Company and you may, during the course of your employment or thereafter, develop certain information or inventions which will be the property of the Company.
You acknowledge that you will be making use of, acquiring and/or adding to confidential information. 












 
The confidential information is and will remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company. You will not at any time use, divulge, disclose or communicate, either directly or indirectly, in
any manner whatsoever, any confidential information to any person or business entity, or remove from the premises of the Company any confidential information in whatever form, unless required by you to perform the essential functions of your
position with the Company while employed by the Company. 
 (b) In consideration of, and as a condition to, your continued employment with
the Company, and as an essential inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement, this Agreement is expressly subject to your continued compliance with the Confidential Information and Employee Invention Assignment Agreement (the
“Confidentiality Agreement”) between you and the Company attached hereto as Exhibit B (but with such changes as the Company may determine are necessary to reflect changes in applicable law). You will fully comply with all
obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement and further agree that the provisions of such agreement shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement or termination of your employment. 

8. Covenants. You and the Company (as applicable) agree to timely and fully comply with all of the covenants set forth in this Section 8 and
further understand and agree that such covenants (in addition to Sections 5 and 9 through 15) shall survive any termination of your employment and termination or expiration of this Agreement. 

(a) Return of Company Property. On your Termination Date, or at any other time as required by the Company, you will immediately
surrender to the Company all Company property, including, but not limited to, Confidential Information (as such term is defined in the Confidentiality Agreement), keys, key cards, computers, telephones, pagers, credit cards, automobiles, equipment,
and/or other similar property of the Company. 
 (b) Non-Solicit. During your employment with
the Company and for twelve (12) months after your Termination Date, but only to the extent permitted by applicable law, you shall not, directly or indirectly, either as an individual or as an employee, agent, consultant, advisor, independent
contractor, general partner, officer, director, stockholder, investor, lender, or in any other capacity whatsoever, of any person, firm, corporation or partnership: (i) solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any of the Company’s employees
or consultants to terminate their relationship with the Company, or (ii) attempt to solicit, induce, recruit, or encourage any of the Company’s employees or consultants to terminate their relationship with the Company, or
(iii) attempt to solicit, induce, recruit, encourage or take away employees or consultants of the Company. A general advertisement for employment not targeted at any specific individual shall not constitute a violation of this
Section 8(b). 
 (c) Nondisclosure. Notwithstanding any requirement that the Company may have to publicly disclose the terms of
this Agreement (and its exhibits) pursuant to applicable law or regulations, you agree to use reasonable efforts to maintain in confidence the existence of this Agreement, the contents and terms of this Agreement, and the consideration for this
Agreement (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Agreement Information”). You also agree to take every reasonable precaution to prevent disclosure of any Agreement Information to third parties, except for disclosures required by
law or absolutely necessary with respect to your immediate family members or personal advisors who shall also agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Agreement Information. Nothing herein shall prevent any disclosure by you as required by law.













 (d) Cooperation. You agree that, upon the Company’s request, during the five
(5) years immediately following your termination of employment with the Company you shall reasonably cooperate with the Company (and be available as reasonably necessary) after the Termination Date in connection with any matters involving
events that occurred during your period of employment with the Company. When making requests for you to assist with matters involving events that occurred during your period of employment with the Company, the Company agrees to reasonably
accommodate your schedule. 
 (e) Amounts Due. You will fully pay off any outstanding amounts owed to the Company no later than their
applicable due date or within thirty (30) days of the Termination Date (if no other due date has previously been established). Within thirty (30) days of the Termination Date, you will submit any outstanding business expense reports to the
Company for business expenses incurred prior to the Termination Date. 
 (f) Company Resources. As of the Termination Date, or at any
other time as required by the Company, you will no longer represent that you are an officer, director or employee of the Company or any Company affiliate and you will immediately discontinue using the Company mailing address, telephone, facsimile
machines, voice mail and e-mail. 
 (g) Representations. You represent that you have not
entered into any agreements, understandings, or arrangements with any person or entity that you would breach as a result of, or that would in any way preclude or prohibit you from entering into, this Agreement with the Company or performing any of
the duties and responsibilities provided for in this Agreement. You represent that you do not possess any confidential, proprietary business information belonging to any other entity, and will not use any confidential, proprietary business
information belonging to any other entity in connection with your employment with the Company. You represent that you are not resigning employment or relocating any residence in reliance on any promise or representation by the Company regarding the
kind, character, or existence of such work, or the length of time such work will last, or the compensation therefor. 
 (h) Clawback
Policy. The Company may (i) cause the cancellation of any equity or cash compensation, (ii) require reimbursement of any of your equity or cash compensation and (iii) effect any other right of recoupment of equity or other
compensation provided under this Agreement or otherwise, in each case to the extent required under applicable law or pursuant to the requirements of a stock exchange applicable to the Company. In addition, you understand and agree that incentive
compensation paid to you (including, without limitation, bonuses and equity compensation) shall be subject to recoupment in the event that, subsequent to payment, the Board reasonably determines that required performance criteria was, in fact, not
satisfied (for example, due to a subsequent financial restatement). 
 (i) Violations. You acknowledge that (i) upon a violation
of any of the covenants contained in this Section 8, (ii) if the Company is terminating your employment for Cause as provided under this Agreement; or (iii)) your breach of the covenants in the Confidentiality Agreement, the Company would
sustain irreparable harm as a result and that the Company would 












 
not have entered into this Agreement without such restrictions, and, therefore, you agree that in addition to any other remedies which the Company may have, the Company shall be entitled, without
bond of any kind, to seek equitable relief including specific performance and injunctions (without posting of bond) restraining you from committing or continuing any such violation. Moreover, the Company will be entitled to an accounting of profits,
compensation, remuneration or other benefits received by you, in addition to any other contractual, legal or equitable rights, damages or remedies available. 

9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and its attachments, the Confidentiality Agreement, and any other agreements referenced herein, as amended or
superseded from time to time, contain the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding their terms and supersede any and all prior written or oral understandings other than any award agreements that govern the Pre-Existing Awards (the “Prior Agreements”). With respect to the Pre-Existing Awards, the acceleration of vesting provisions contained in this Agreement
supersede and replace in their entirety, and act as amendments to, any acceleration of vesting provisions contained in the award agreements that govern the Pre-Existing Equity Awards (which agreements, to the
extent not otherwise amended by this Agreement (including, without limitation, under Sections 3 and 4), remain in full force and effect); provided, however, for purposes of clarity, such provisions do not supersede or replace Section 16(d) of
the 2016 Plan. You agree and acknowledge that you are not eligible for, and will not receive, any compensation, benefits, vesting acceleration, or severance pursuant to the Prior Agreements. You also agree and acknowledge that there are no
circumstances as of the date of this Agreement that constitute, and nothing contemplated in this Agreement or otherwise shall be deemed for any purpose to be or to create, an involuntary termination without Cause, a Good Reason resignation right, or
other “Qualifying Termination” for purposes of the Prior Agreements or any other severance or change in control plan, agreement or policy maintained by the Company or its affiliates. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement may
not be amended or modified except in a writing, executed by you and a duly authorized officer of the Company other than yourself. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or email signatures and in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an
original, and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any award agreements governing the Equity Awards, this Agreement shall prevail. 

10. Choice of Law; Severability; Waiver. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without reference to
the conflict of law provisions thereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or portion thereof, shall be held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such provision or
portion thereof, and shall not in any manner affect or render invalid or unenforceable any other provision, or portion thereof, of this Agreement. No breach of any provision hereof can be waived unless in writing. Waiver of any one breach of any
provision hereof will not be deemed to be a waiver of any other breach of the same or any other provision of this Agreement. 
 11. Successors and
Assigns. The Company may assign this Agreement to any successor (whether by amalgamation, merger, consolidation, sale of assets, purchase or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the equity, assets or business of the Company, and this
Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of such successors and assigns, including any successor entity. You may not assign this Agreement or your obligations hereunder. 












 12. Notice. Any and all notices required or permitted to be given to you or the Company pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement will be in writing, and will be effective and deemed to provide such party sufficient notice hereunder on the earliest of the following: (i) at the time of personal delivery, if delivery is in person;
(ii) one (1) business day after deposit with an express overnight courier for United States deliveries, or two (2) business days after such deposit for deliveries outside of the United States; (iii) three (3) business days after
deposit in the United States mail by certified mail (return receipt requested) for United States deliveries. All notices that the Company is required to or may desire to give you that are not delivered personally will be sent with postage and/or
other charges prepaid and properly addressed to you at your home address of record with the Company, or at such other address as you may from time to time designate by one of the indicated means of notice herein. All notices that you are required to
or may desire to give to the Company that are not delivered personally will be sent with postage and/or other charges prepaid and properly addressed to the Company’s General Counsel at its principal office, or at such other office as the
Company may from time to time designate by one of the indicated means of notice herein. 
 13. Withholding and Taxes. The Company shall have the
right to withhold and deduct from any payment provided for hereunder or under any other Company plan or agreement any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to any such payment. The Company
(including without limitation members of the Board) shall not be liable to you or other persons as to any unexpected or adverse tax consequence realized by you and you shall be solely responsible for the timely payment of all taxes arising from this
Agreement that are imposed on you. 
 14. Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to be exempt from or comply with the requirements of Code
Section 409A (“Section 409A”). In the event this Agreement or any benefit paid to you hereunder is deemed to be subject to Section 409A, you consent to the Company adopting such conforming amendments as
the Company deems necessary, in good faith and in its reasonable discretion, to comply with Section 409A and avoid the imposition of taxes under Section 409A. Each payment made pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, including under
Section 4(a), shall be considered a separate payment and not one of a series of payments for purposes of Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except to the extent any expense, reimbursement or in-kind benefit provided pursuant to this Agreement does not constitute a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A: (A) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to you during any calendar year will not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to you in any other
calendar year; (B) the reimbursements for expenses for which you are entitled to be reimbursed shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the applicable expense is incurred; and
(C) the right to payment or reimbursement or in-kind benefits hereunder may not be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit. While it is intended that all payments and benefits provided under this
Agreement to you will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A, the Company makes no representation or covenant to ensure that the payments under this Agreement are exempt from or compliant with Section 409A. The Company will have no
liability to you or any other party if a payment or benefit under this Agreement is challenged by any taxing authority or is ultimately determined not to be exempt or compliant. You further understand and agree that you will be entirely responsible
for any and all taxes on any benefits payable to you as a result of this Agreement. In addition, if upon your 












 
Separation from Service, you are then a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A), then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and solely to the extent
necessary to comply with Section 409A and avoid the imposition of taxes under Section 409A, the Company shall defer payment of “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A payable as a result of and within
six (6) months following such Separation from Service under this Agreement until the earlier of (i) the first business day of the seventh month following your Separation from Service, or (ii) ten (10) days after the Company receives
written notification of your death. Any such delayed payments shall be made without interest. Furthermore, for purposes of compliance with Section 409A, references to “terminate,” “termination” or the like shall be
interpreted to mean your Separation from Service. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Release, if you become entitled to vesting acceleration benefits under Section 4(a) with respect to your RSUs and/or IPO RSUs,
and the Release Period spans two calendar years, your unvested RSUs and IPO RSUs, as applicable, shall not accelerate vesting pursuant to Section 4(a) any earlier than January 1 in the calendar year immediately following the calendar year
in which your termination occurs. For the avoidance of doubt, termination or forfeiture of any of your Company equity awards eligible for vesting acceleration under Section 4(a) due to your termination of employment with the Company shall be
tolled to the extent necessary to implement the vesting acceleration contemplated by Section 4(a), but in no event will your Company stock options remain outstanding beyond their maximum term to expiration. 

15. Offset. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any severance or other payments or benefits made to you under this Agreement
may be reduced, in the Company’s discretion, by any amounts you owe to the Company or as will be needed to satisfy any future payments you would need to make for continuing post-termination benefits; provided, however, that any
such offsets do not violate Section 409A. 
 16. Voluntary Agreement. You acknowledge that you have been advised to review this Agreement with
your own legal counsel and other advisors of your choosing and that prior to entering into this Agreement, you have had the opportunity to review this Agreement with your attorney and other advisors and have not asked (or relied upon) the Company or
its counsel to represent you or your counsel in this matter. You further represent that you have carefully read and understand the scope and effect of the provisions of this Agreement and that you are fully aware of the legal and binding effect of
this Agreement. This Agreement is executed voluntarily by you and without any duress or undue influence on the part or behalf of the Company. 
 17.
Definitions. The following definitions shall apply for purposes of this Agreement: 
 (a) “Accrued Obligations” shall
mean the sum of (i) any portion of your accrued but unpaid Base Salary through the Termination Date; (ii) subject to Section 14, any compensation previously earned but deferred by you (together with any interest or earnings thereon)

Termination Date; (iv) any reimbursements that you are entitled to receive under Section 6 of the Agreement or otherwise; and (v) any vested benefits or amounts that you are otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy,

pay).

written notice of the event within thirty (30) days of the Company learning of the occurrence of such event, and such Cause event remains uncured thirty (30) days after the Company has provided such written notice; provided further
that any termination of your employment for “Cause” with respect to Sections 17(c)(iii) or 17(c)(v) occurs no later than thirty (30) days following the expiration of such cure period. 

(c) “Change in Control” shall mean any one or more of the following: 

(i) any “person” (as such term is used in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the

 EXHIBIT A 

FORM OF SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE 












 SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE 

This Separation Agreement and Release of All Claims and Covenant Not to Sue (“Release”) is made pursuant to the Employment
Agreement (“Employment Agreement”) entered into by and between Noel B. Watson (“Employee”) and LegalZoom.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), to which this Release is an exhibit, in
consideration for and as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to provide separation benefits to Employee pursuant to the Employment Agreement and which Employee is otherwise not entitled to receive. Certain terms if they are not
defined in this Release shall have the meaning provided to them in the Employment Agreement. 
 In order for this Release to become
effective, Employee must deliver to the Company a properly signed and dated Release on or after Employee’s Termination Date and before 4:00 pm PST on [DATE] or else it will be irrevocably determined that Employee has decided to
not execute this Release and this Release shall be null and void with no force or effect. This Release will become effective only if it has been timely executed by the Employee and the revocation period has expired without revocation by Employee as
set forth in Section 5(a) below (such effective date of this Release, if any, is the “Effective Date”). By signing below and timely delivering a signed Release to the Company, Employee acknowledges and agrees to each of the
following terms and conditions: 
 1. RECITALS. This Release is made with reference to the following facts: 

Employee and Company are parties to the Employment Agreement which provides that Employee must execute a general release of all claims and
covenant not to sue and deliver it to the Company in order to be eligible for certain separation benefits from the Company as specified under the Employment Agreement. This Release is the separation agreement and general release and covenant not to
sue required by the Employment Agreement. If this Release does not become effective by its own terms, then Employee shall receive none of the separation benefits to be provided under the Employment Agreement. 

2. QUALIFYING TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Employee and Company acknowledge and agree that the Employee’s employment with the Company was
terminated [by the Company without Cause] [by Employee for Good Reason]2 (a “Qualifying Termination”) [as a result of Employee’s Death] [as a result of Employee’s
Disability] as of the close of business on [DATE] (the “Termination Date”), without regard to whether Employee signs this Release or agrees to the following terms and conditions, and that such termination was treated as a Qualifying
Termination [during the Change in Control Period] [outside of the Change in Control Period]3 by the Company. As of the Termination Date, it is mutually agreed that Employee is no longer an
employee of the Company and no longer holds any positions or offices with the Company. 
 3. SEPARATION BENEFITS. In consideration for
Employee’s general release of all claims set forth in Section 5 below and Employee’s other obligations under this Release and in satisfaction of all of the Company’s obligations to Employee and further provided that:
(i) this Release is 
  

	2 	 NTD: To be specified at the time of termination. 



	3 	 NTD: To be specified at the time of termination.















 
signed by Employee and delivered to the Company on or before [DATE], (ii) this Release is not revoked by Employee under Section 5 below and therefore becomes effective on or before [DATE],
and (iii) Employee remains in continuing material compliance with all of the terms of this Release and the Employment Agreement, then the Company agrees to provide (and continue to provide) the separation benefits specified in Section 4(a)
below to Employee. 
 In the event that the Company believes Employee is not in continuing material compliance with the terms of this Release, then the
Company shall provide Employee with written notice of the same and, without limiting its other possible actions, the Company shall immediately terminate any and all such separation payments and benefits. 

4. PAYMENTS, BENEFITS AND TAXES. 

a. Separation Benefits. The Company will provide to Employee the payments and benefits specified in [ [Section 4(a)(i)] [Section
4(a)(ii)] [Section 4(a)(iii) ]4 of the Employment Agreement, subject to Section 5 of the Employment Agreement. Subject to Section 4(b) below, such payments and benefits will be provided
to Employee at the times specified in the Employment Agreement. 
 b. Taxes. Any tax obligations of Employee and tax liability
therefor, including without limitation any penalties or interest based upon such tax obligations, that arise from the benefits and payments made to Employee shall be Employee’s sole responsibility and liability. All payments or benefits made
under this Release to Employee shall be subject to applicable tax withholding laws and regulations and Employee shall be required to timely and fully satisfy any such withholding as a condition of receipt of any payments or benefits. The terms of
Sections 5, 13 and 14 of the Employment Agreement are also applicable to this Release and to all payments and benefits provided hereunder. 

c. WARN Payments. The payments to Employee hereunder shall be considered as including any and all payments by the Company that could or
in fact become payable in connection with the Employee’s termination of employment pursuant to any applicable legal requirements, including, without limitation, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (the “WARN”
Act), California Labor Code sections 1400-1408, or any other similar foreign, federal or state law. 
 5. EMPLOYEE’S PROMISES. In
consideration for the promises and payments contained in the Employment Agreement, Employee agrees as follows: 
 a. Employee hereby
covenants not to sue and also waives, releases and forever discharges the Company and its divisions, subsidiaries, officers, directors, agents, employees, stockholders, affiliates, attorneys, predecessors and successors from any and all claims,
causes of action, damages or costs of any type and liabilities of whatever kind or nature, in law or in equity, that Employee has ever had or may have as of the Effective Date (whether known or not known) (collectively, “Claims”).
This waiver and release includes, but is not limited to, claims, causes of action, damages or costs arising under or in relation to Company’s employee handbook and personnel policies, or any oral or written representations or statements made by
officers, directors, 
  

	4 	 NTD: To be specified at the time of termination.















 
employees or agents of Company, and also including but not limited to Claims based on and/or arising under any state or federal law regulating wages, hours, compensation or employment, or any
claim for breach of contract or breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, or any claim for wrongful termination, or any discrimination claim on the basis of race, sex, sexual orientation, gender, age, religion, marital status,
national origin, physical or mental disability, medical condition, or under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, The Americans with Disabilities Act, The Family Medical Leave Act, The Equal Pay Act, The Employee Retirement Income
Security Act, The Fair Labor Standards Act, The California Fair Employment and Housing Act, The California Constitution, The California Government Code, The California Labor Code, The Industrial Welfare Commission’s Orders, The Worker
Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the California Labor Code, the California Family Rights Act, Act, the California Wage Orders, the California Private Attorneys General Act of 2004, the California Wage Orders, and the California Business
and Professions Code Section 17200, et seq., and any and all other Claims Employee may have under any other federal, state or local Constitution, Statute, Ordinance and/or Regulation; and all other Claims arising under common law including but
not limited to tort, express and/or implied contract and/or quasi-contract, arising out of or, in any way, related to Employee’s previous relationship with the Company as an employee, consultant and/or director. 

Furthermore, Employee expressly acknowledges, understands and agrees that this Release includes a waiver and release of all claims which Employee has or may
have under the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, 29 U.S.C. §621, et seq. (“ADEA”). The following terms and conditions apply to and are part of the waiver and
release of ADEA claims under this Release: 
 (1) Employee was advised and encouraged to consult with an attorney before signing this
Release; 
 (2) Employee was granted twenty-one (21) days after Employee was presented with
this Release to decide whether or not to sign this Release. Employee understands and agrees that any modification of this Release, whether material or immaterial, does not restart the running of this 21- day
consideration period; 
 (3) Employee will have the right to revoke the waiver and release of claims under the ADEA within seven
(7) days of Employee signing this Release, and this Release shall not become effective and enforceable until that revocation period has expired without such revocation; 

(4) Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees that Employee is knowingly and voluntarily waiving and releasing Employee’s rights and
claims, including under the ADEA, in exchange for consideration (something of value) in addition to anything of value to which Employee is already entitled; and 

(5) Nothing in this Release prevents or precludes Employee from challenging or seeking a determination in good faith of the validity of this
waiver under the ADEA, nor does it impose any condition precedent, penalties or costs from doing so, unless specifically authorized by federal law. 












 Therefore, Employee may unilaterally revoke this Release at any time up to seven (7) calendar days
following Employee’s execution of the Release, and this Release shall not become effective or enforceable until the revocation period has expired, which is at 12:00:01 a.m. PST on the eighth day following Employee’s execution of this
Release. If Employee elects to revoke this Release, such revocation must be in writing addressed to the General Counsel of the Company and received by the Company via facsimile or email no later than the end of the seventh day after Employee signed
this Release. 
 b. The waiver and release set forth in this Section 5 applies to claims of which Employee does not currently have
knowledge and Employee specifically waives the benefit of the provisions of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California which reads as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing
party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.” 

c. Employee agrees that the Company has paid to Employee all salary and vacation which had accrued as of the Termination Date and that these
payments represent all such monies due to Employee through the Termination Date. In light of the payment by the Company of all wages due, or to become due to Employee, California Labor Code Section 206.5 is not applicable. That section provides
in pertinent part as follows: “No employer shall require the execution of any release of any claim or right on account of wages due, or to become due, or made as an advance on wages to be earned, unless payment of such wages has been
made.” Except with respect to any “Excluded Claims” (specified in Section 5(d) below), Employee further represents and warrants to the Company that, as of the Effective Date, the payments set forth in Section 4(a) above
constitute all payments or obligations owed by the Company to Employee in connection with any employment, severance, retention, or a change in control plan or arrangement. 

d. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Employee is not waiving any Claims Employee may have with respect to any of the following
matters: (i) any rights that Employee may have to file a charge, testify, assist, or cooperate with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or another fair employment practices governmental agency; (ii) claims for indemnification
from the Company, including without limitation under any contractual arrangements to which Employee is party with the Company, the Company’s charter and bylaws and in accordance with Section 2802 of the California Labor Code;
(iii) claims to unemployment compensation benefits or workers compensation benefits; (iv) claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act; (v) health insurance benefits under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA); (vi)
claims with regard to vested benefits under a retirement plan governed by the ERISA; (vii) any events, occurrences, acts or omissions which occur after the Effective Date; (viii) claims under any directors and officers liability insurance
policy; (ix) claims for any vested equity; (x) claims for breach of this Release; or (xi) claims that may not be released as a matter of applicable law. 

e. Employee has not suffered nor aggravated any known
on-the-job injuries for which Employee has not already filed a Workers’ Compensation claim. 

f. Employee agrees that nothing in this Release shall be construed as an admission of liability of any kind by Company to Employee. 












 g. In the event that Employee breaches or threatens to breach any of the provisions
contained in this Section 5, Employee acknowledges that such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable harm, entitling the Company, at its option, to seek immediate injunctive relief, from a court of competent jurisdiction without
