	 	(a)	willfully or materially breaches this Agreement or any other written agreement with the Company; 


  
 - 7 - 









	 	(b)	willfully violates or fails to comply with any reasonable rule or policy governing Executive’s performance or behavior, including, without limitation, the prohibition against the use of illegal drugs and the use of
alcohol in a way that is materially harmful to the Company’s finances, general reputation, or other legitimate business interest;

between the Company and Executive and is legal;

 An act or failure to act is considered “willful” if done or not
done with an absence of good faith and without a reasonable belief that the act or failure to act was in the best interests of the Company. In the event of termination for “Cause,” Executive shall not be entitled to any severance payments
or any other payments under this Agreement except as may be required by law, but shall receive his Base Salary earned through the date of termination, any unused vacation or other time off earned through the date of termination, reimbursement for
reasonable expenses incurred by Executive in the discharge of his duties before termination so long as he provides evidence thereof, and any additional benefits to which he is entitled under any applicable benefit plan of the Company that are not

Company’s determination of Cause to the Chief Executive Officer except where the Chief Executive Officer determines that doing so would be futile.

In the event of termination of employment for any reason set forth in Section 5.2(b), (c) or (d) above, no further compensation
or benefits other than the Accrued Obligations set forth in Section 5.1 of this Agreement and any applicable insurance benefits in accordance with any Company-sponsored insurance policy shall be paid to Executive. Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall have the right to terminate the employment of Executive for any reason, including reasons other than those described in Sections 5.1 or 5.2. In the event of termination by the Company
for any reason not constituting Cause, not described in Section 5.2, and not in connection with a Change in Control, Executive shall be entitled to the severance payments described in Section 5.5. In the event of a Change in Control, the
Change in Control Agreement, as amended, shall supersede this Agreement and any understandings between the parties with respect to termination upon such Change in Control and any compensation paid to Executive upon such termination. 

5.3 Termination by Executive for Good Reason. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Executive shall
have the right to terminate his employment at any time for “Good Reason.” “Good Reason” exists if any of the following events or conditions occurs:

from the position of, or failure to reappoint or reelect Executive as Chief Marketing Officer of the Company; 

  

	 	(b)	any material breach by the Company of any provision of this Agreement; 

  

	 	(c)	any purported termination of Executive’s employment which is not made pursuant to a Notice of Termination satisfying the requirements Section 5.6 of this Agreement; or

Company’s principal executive offices except for requiring travel on the Company’s business. 

 Prior to any
termination for “Good Reason,” Executive must give notice to the Chief Executive Officer of the existence of the condition for “Good Reason” and intent to terminate employment within 90 days of the occurrence of the condition and
the Company shall not have 

  
 - 9 - 








 
eliminated the condition within 30 days thereafter. In the event of termination of employment by Executive for Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled to the severance payments described in
Section 5.5 of this Agreement subject to the limitations contained in Section 5.5. 
 5.4 Termination by Executive for Any
Other Reason. Executive shall have the right to terminate his employment under this Agreement for any reason. In the event of termination by Executive for any reason not constituting a termination for Good Reason, Executive shall not be entitled
to any severance payment or any other payments under this Agreement except the Accrued Obligations described in Section 5.1 of this Agreement. 

5.5 Severance Payments. In the event of termination by the Company for any reason not constituting Cause or described in

by Section 409A of the Code, inclusive of Section 401(a)(17) of the Code, shall be paid in equal portions over the course of the first six months of the Severance Period in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices, and
the balance shall be paid in equal portions over the course of the remaining six months of the Severance Period in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices. Each installment of severance pay shall be considered a separate payment
for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. 

  

	 	(b)	Benefits During Severance Period. During the Severance Period, the Company shall continue to pay to Executive an amount of cash equal to the Company’s portion of the premium payable under the Company’s
group health and life insurance plans for health (i.e., medical, dental and vision benefits) and life insurance benefits provided to the Executive and to those family members covered through Executive under the Company’s group health and life
insurance plans immediately prior to the date of termination of employment; provided that if during the Severance Period another employer provides Executive any benefits that are substantially comparable to any of the benefits provided by the
Company, the Company’s obligations with respect to such comparable benefits shall cease. 

  

	 	(c)	 Conditions to Severance Pay. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary,

disclosure and assignment requirements set forth in Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, and 4.5, he will not be entitled to the severance pay or benefits described in this Section 5.5 and will be obligated to return any severance pay and/or benefits
already received. 

 5.6 Notice of Termination. Any purported termination of Executive’s employment by the Company
or by Executive shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination sent to the other party in accordance with Section 6.1. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a written notice which shall indicate the
specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth a summary of the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment. No purported termination of Executive’s
employment which is not made pursuant to a Notice of Termination shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement.
