policies as adopted by the Company from time to time, which have been made available to the Executive. 
 3. Compensation. 

(a) Annual Base Salary. During the Term, the Executive shall receive a base salary at a rate of £130,855 per annum, which
shall be paid in accordance with the customary payroll practices of the Company, subject to review and adjustment by the Board in its reasonable discretion (the “Annual Base Salary”). 

(b) Other Incentive Plans, Benefits and Perquisites. The Executive shall be offered additional employee benefits and perquisites the Company
and the Executive negotiate in good faith. The Executive also shall be eligible to participate in such other incentive compensation programs in accordance with their terms as the Company may have in effect from time to time for its senior executive

 5 








 (iii) take vacations and be entitled to sick leave in accordance with the Company’s Paid

additional 5 years of service; provided however, that the total amount of PTO that Executive can accrue during one year shall be capped at 240 hours. 

(d) For the sake of clarity, the Company may modify its health, welfare, retirement and other benefit plans and vacation and sick leave
policies from time to time and the Executive’s rights under these plans are subject to change in the event of any such modifications, provided that he will receive the benefits generally provided to other senior executive officers of the
Company. 
 (e) Business Expenses. During the Term, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable travel and other
business expenses incurred by the Executive in the performance of the Executive’s duties to the Company in accordance with the Company’s applicable expense reimbursement policies and procedures. 

4. Termination.
 (a)
Basis for Termination. The Executive’s employment hereunder is “at-will” and may be terminated by the Company or the Executive, as applicable, without any breach of this Agreement upon the death or Disability of the Executive, with or
without Cause, and with or without Good Reason. Executive’s “at-will” status cannot be modified by oral agreement; any modification to this Agreement must be in writing. 

(b) Notice of Termination. Any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company or by the Executive under this
Section 4 (other than a termination by reason of the Executive’s death) shall be communicated by a written notice to the other party hereto: (i) indicating in reasonable detail the basis for the termination, and (ii) specifying a
Date of Termination which, if submitted by the Executive, shall be at least thirty (30) days following the date of such notice (a “Notice of Termination”); provided, however, that in the event that the Executive delivers a Notice of
Termination to the Company, the Company may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the Date of Termination to any date that occurs following the date of Company’s receipt of such Notice of Termination (even if such date is prior to the date
specified in such Notice of Termination). A Notice of Termination submitted by the Company may provide for a Date of Termination on the date the Executive receives the Notice of Termination, or any date thereafter elected by the Company in its
sole discretion. The failure by the Company or the Executive to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Cause or Good Reason shall not waive any right of the Company or the Executive
hereunder or preclude the Company or the Executive from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Company’s or the Executive’s rights hereunder. 

5. Company Obligations upon Termination of Employment. 

(a) In General. Upon a termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, the Executive (or the Executive’s estate)
shall be entitled to receive: (i) any portion of the 

  
 6 








 
Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination not theretofore paid, (ii) any expenses owed to the Executive under Section 3(e), and (iii) any amount arising
from the Executive’s participation in, or benefits under, any incentive compensation plans, employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements under Section 3(b) or 3(c), which amounts shall be payable in accordance with the terms and
conditions of any such incentive compensation plans, employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 5(b) or 6(a) below, the payments and benefits described in this Section 5(a) shall be the
only payments and benefits payable in the event of the Executive’s termination of employment for any reason. 
 (b) Severance Payment.

 (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event the Executive’s employment shall be terminated by the
Company or by the Executive’s resignation for any reason within the first ninety (90) days of initial employment with the Company (the “Introductory Period”), then Executive shall be entitled to receive only the payments and
benefits described in Section 5(a) above. 
 (ii) In the event the Executive’s employment shall be terminated by the Company
without Cause or by the Executive’s resignation for Good Reason after completion of the Introductory Period, then, in addition to the payments and benefits described in Section 5(a) above, the Company shall, during the Severance
Period, pay to the Executive in equal installments, an amount equal to 18 months of Executive’s Annual Base Salary in effect at the Date of Termination (the “Severance Payment”); and (2) to the extent that bonuses are paid
to other Senior Executives for the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs, then Executive shall be entitled to a pro-rata share of his or her bonus; and (3) for a period of two years following the Date of Termination, the Company
shall continue to provide or pay the cost of Medical and Health benefits to Executive and/or Executive’s family. If the Executive becomes reemployed with another employer during such period and is eligible to receive employee medical and health
benefits under another employer provided plan, the Company shall not be obligated to continue to provide the Medical and Health benefits, to the extent that reasonably similar medical and health benefits are available to the Executive pursuant to
such employer-provided plan. The Company may satisfy its obligations under this Section 5(b)(ii), by paying the applicable premiums for continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA for Executive and/or his family, for as long as such COBRA
coverage is available under the law; provided however, that if any COBRA coverage cannot be extended the full two years required by Section 5(b)(ii)(3), the Company shall pay for reasonably similar medical and health benefits during the
period beginning when COBRA coverage ceases and the end of the two year period as set forth in Section 5(b)(ii)(3). 
 (iii)
The Severance Payment shall be in lieu of notice or any other severance benefits to which the Executive might otherwise be entitled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (A) no portion of the Severance Payment shall be paid
unless, on or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day following the Date of Termination, the Executive timely executes a general waiver and release of claims agreement substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”), which Release shall not have been revoked by the Executive prior to the expiration of the period (if any) during which any portion of such Release is revocable under applicable
law, and (B) as of the first date on which the Executive violates any covenant contained in Section 7, any remaining unpaid portion of the Severance Payment shall thereupon be forfeited. Subject to the


  
 7 








 
provisions of Section 9, the Severance Payment shall be paid in equal installments during the Severance Period, at the same time and in the same manner as the Annual Base Salary would
have been paid had the Executive remained in active employment during the Severance Period, in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices in effect on the Date of Termination; provided that any installment that would otherwise have
been paid prior to the first normal payroll payment date occurring on or after the thirtieth (30th) day following the Date of Termination (such payroll date, the “First Payment
Date”) shall instead be paid on the First Payment Date. In no event shall any Severance Payment be made prior to the thirtieth (30th) day following the Date of Termination. For
purposes of Section 409A (including, without limitation, for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii) of the Department of Treasury Regulations), the Executive’s right to receive the Severance Payment in the form of installment
payments (the “Installment Payments”) shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each Installment Payment shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. 

(c) The provisions of this Section 5 shall supersede in their entirety any severance payment provisions in any severance plan, policy,
program or other arrangement maintained by the Company. 
 6. Change of Control. 

(a) Termination in the Event of a Change of Control. If, during the fifteen (15) month period beginning three (3) months prior to a
Change of Control and ending twelve (12) months after such Change of Control, the Company terminates Executive’s employment without Cause, or Executive terminates his or her employment for Good Reason, then the Company shall pay or provide
the benefits set forth in Section 5(a) and subsections (i), (ii), and (iii) below. 
 (i) The Company shall pay to Executive in a
lump sum in cash, within thirty days after the Date of Termination, the aggregate of the following amounts: (1) one and one half times the Executive’s Annual Base Salary in effect on the Date of Termination plus (2) the
Executive’s target bonus for the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs. 
 (ii) For a period of two years following the
Date of Termination, the Company shall continue to provide or pay the cost of all employee Medical and Health Benefits to Executive and/or Executive’s family. If the Executive becomes reemployed with another employer during such period and is
eligible to receive employee medical and health benefits under another employer provided plan, the Company shall not be obligated to continue to provide the Medical and Health benefits to the extent that new employer’s plan provides reasonably
similar medical and health benefits. If applicable, the Company may satisfy its obligations under this Section 6(a)(ii), in part, by paying the applicable premiums for continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA for Executive and/or his
family, for as long as such COBRA coverage is available under the law; provided however, that if any COBRA coverage cannot be extended the full two years required by this Section 6(a)(ii), the Company shall pay for reasonably similar
medical and health benefits during the period beginning when COBRA coverage ceases and the end of the two year period as set forth in this Section 6(a)(ii). 

(iii) As of the Date of Termination, all unvested stock options held by Executive shall become fully vested and exercisable and shall remain
exercisable until the earlier 

  
 8 








 
of: (A) first anniversary of the Date of Termination; or (B) the date on which the option would have expired by its original terms (disregarding any early termination due to
Executive’s separation from service). All restricted stock awards held by Executive, if applicable, shall become fully vested and no longer subject to repurchase or forfeiture; and restricted stock units held by Executive, if applicable, shall
become fully vested. Any performance-based equity awards shall vest at the target performance level. 
 (b) Limitation on Change of Control
Payments and Benefits. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any of the payments or benefits to be made or provided in connection with the Agreement, together with any other payments or benefits which the Executive has the
right to receive from the Company or any entity which is a member of an “affiliated group” (as defined in section 1504(a) of the Code without regard to section 1504(b) of the Code) of which the Company is a member constitute an
“excess parachute payment” (as defined in section 280G(b) of the Code), the payments or benefits to be made or provided in connection with this Agreement will be reduced to the extent necessary to prevent any portion of such payments or
benefits from becoming nondeductible by the Company pursuant to section 280G of the Code or subject to the excise tax imposed under section 4999 of the Code. The determination as to whether any such decrease in the payments or benefits to be made or
provided in connection with this Agreement is necessary must be made in good faith by a nationally recognized accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”), and such determination will be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company. In
the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change of Control, the Company shall appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required
hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Executive will have the right to review and comment on any calculations
prepared by the Accounting Firm. In addition, if and to the extent such right would not cause any payment or benefit to be subject to any adverse tax consequences under section 409A of the Code (including as a result of any “substitution”
within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(f)), Executive will have the right to designate the particular payments or benefits that are to be reduced or eliminated. 

(c) Treatment of Unvested Stock in Stock Acquisition. For avoidance of doubt, in the event the Executive is terminated in connection with a
Change of Control transaction in which the Company’s stock is acquired for cash or cash equivalents, Executive shall have the same right to participate in the Change of Control transaction with respect to any unvested shares held by Executive
as the Company’s stockholders have generally with respect to shares of stock that are not subject to vesting. 
 7. Restrictive
Covenants. In consideration of the Executive’s employment or continued employment with the Company and the Severance Payment, the Executive agrees to comply with the following restrictive covenants: 

(a) The Executive shall not, at any time during the Restricted Period, directly or indirectly engage in, have any equity interest in, or
manage or operate any person, firm, corporation, partnership, business or entity (whether as director, officer, employee, agent, representative, partner, security holder, consultant or otherwise) that engages in (either directly or through any
subsidiary or Affiliate thereof) any business or activity (i) relating to (A) the design, 

  
 9 








 
manufacture, marketing, sale or distribution of video game platforms and accessories for videogame platforms, personal computer, Mac, iPod or other mobile devices or (B) the development of
flight simulation hardware, which competes with the business of the Company or any entity owned by the Company, or (ii) which the Company or any of its Affiliates has taken active steps to engage in or acquire, but only if the Executive
directly or indirectly engages in, has any equity interest in, or manages or operates, such business or activity (whether as director, officer, employee, agent, representative, partner, security holder, consultant or otherwise). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Executive shall be permitted to acquire a passive stock or equity interest in such a business; provided that such stock or other equity interest acquired is not more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding interest in such
business. 
 (b) The Executive shall not, at any time during the Restricted Period, directly or indirectly, either for himself or on behalf
of any other entity, (i) recruit or otherwise solicit or induce any employee, customer, subscriber or supplier of the Company to terminate its employment or arrangement with the Company, or otherwise change its relationship with the Company, or
(ii) hire, or cause to be hired, any person who was employed by the Company at any time during the twelve (12)-month period immediately prior to the Date of Termination or who thereafter becomes employed by the Company. 

(c) The provisions contained in Sections 7(a) and 7(b) may be altered and/or waived to be made less restrictive on the Executive with the
prior written consent of the Board or the Independent Directors. 
 (d) Except as the Executive reasonably and in good faith determines to
be required in the faithful performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder or in accordance with Section 7(f), the Executive shall, during the Term and after the Date of Termination, maintain in confidence and shall not directly or
indirectly, use, disseminate, disclose or publish, or use for the Executive’s benefit or the benefit of any person, firm, corporation or other entity, any confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets of or relating to the Company,
including, without limitation, information with respect to the Company’s operations, processes, protocols, products, inventions, business practices, finances, principals, vendors, suppliers, customers, potential customers, marketing methods,
costs, prices, contractual relationships, regulatory status, compensation paid to employees or other terms of employment (“Proprietary Information”), or deliver to any person, firm, corporation or other entity, any document, record,
notebook, computer program or similar repository of or containing any such Proprietary Information. The Executive’s obligation to maintain and not use, disseminate, disclose or publish, or use for the Executive’s benefit or the
benefit of any person, firm, corporation or other entity, any Proprietary Information after the Date of Termination will continue so long as such Proprietary Information is not, or has not by legitimate means become, generally known and in the
public domain (other than by means of the Executive’s direct or indirect disclosure of such Proprietary Information) and continues to be maintained as Proprietary Information by the Company. The parties hereby stipulate and agree that as
between them, the Proprietary Information identified herein is important, material and affects the successful conduct of the businesses of the Company (and any successor or assignee of the Company). 

(e) Upon termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive will promptly deliver to the Company
all correspondence, drawings, 

  
 10 








 
manuals, letters, notes, notebooks, reports, programs, plans, proposals, financial documents, or any other documents concerning the Company’s customers, business plans, marketing strategies,
products or processes. 
 (f) The Executive may respond to a lawful and valid subpoena or other legal process but shall give the Company
(if lawfully permitted to do so) the earliest possible notice thereof, and shall, as much in advance of the return date as possible, make available to the Company and its counsel the documents and other information sought, and shall assist such
counsel in resisting or otherwise responding to such process. The Executive may also disclose Proprietary Information if: (i) in the reasonable written opinion of counsel for the Executive furnished to the Company, such information is
required to be disclosed for the Executive not to be in violation of any applicable law or regulation or (ii) the Executive is required to disclose such information in connection with the enforcement of any rights under this Agreement or any
other agreements between the Executive and the Company. 
 (g) The Executive agrees not to disparage the Company, any of its products or
practices, or any of its directors, officers, agents, representatives, equity holders or Affiliates, either orally or in writing, at any time; provided that the Executive may confer in confidence with the Executive’s legal representatives, make
truthful statements to any government agency in sworn testimony, or make truthful statements as otherwise required by law. The Company agrees that, upon the termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder, it shall advise its directors
and executive officers not to disparage the Executive, either orally or in writing, at any time; provided that they may confer in confidence with the Company’s and their legal representatives and make truthful statements as required by law.

 (h) Prior to accepting other employment or any other service relationship during the Restricted Period, the Executive shall provide a
copy of this Section 7 to any recruiter who assists the Executive in obtaining other employment or any other service relationship and to any employer or person with which the Executive discusses potential employment or any other service
relationship. 
 (i) In the event the terms of this Section 7 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be
unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, it will be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for
which it may be enforceable, over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable, or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action. 

(j) As used in this Section 7, the term “Company” shall include the Company, its parent, related entities, and any of its
direct or indirect subsidiaries. 
 8. Injunctive Relief. The Executive recognizes and acknowledges that a breach of the
covenants contained in Section 7 will cause irreparable damage to the Company and its goodwill, the exact amount of which will be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such breach will be
inadequate. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that in the event of a breach of any of the covenants contained in Section 7, in addition to any other 

  
 11 








 
remedy which may be available at law or in equity, the Company will be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief. 

9. Section 409A. 

(a) General. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, to the extent applicable, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance
with, and incorporate the terms and conditions required by, Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Company determines that any amounts payable hereunder will be immediately
taxable to the Executive under Section 409A, the Company reserves the right to (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify the Executive for failure to do so) (i) adopt such amendments to this Agreement or adopt such other policies
and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect) that it determines to be necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided by this Agreement, to preserve the economic
benefits of this Agreement and to avoid less favorable accounting or tax consequences for the Company and/or (ii) take such other actions it determines to be necessary or appropriate to exempt the amounts payable hereunder from
Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A and thereby avoid the application of penalty taxes thereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted or
construed to transfer any liability for failure to comply with the requirements of Section 409A from the Executive or any other individual to the Company or any of its Affiliates, employees or agents. 

(b) Separation from Service under Section 409A; Section 409A Compliance. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary: (i) no termination or other similar payments and benefits hereunder shall be payable unless the Executive’s termination of employment constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of
Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Department of Treasury Regulations; (ii) if the Executive is deemed at the time of the Executive’s 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 any termination or other similar payments and benefits to which the Executive may be entitled hereunder (after taking into account all exclusions applicable to such payments or
benefits under Section 409A) is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such portion of such payments and benefits shall not be provided to the Executive prior to the earlier of
(x) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of the Executive’s “separation from service” with the Company (as such term is defined in the Department of Treasury Regulations issued under
Section 409A) or (y) the date of the Executive’s death; provided that upon the earlier of such dates, all payments and benefits deferred pursuant to this Section 9(b)(ii) shall be paid in a lump sum to the Executive, and any
remaining payments and benefits due hereunder shall be provided as otherwise specified herein; (iii) the determination of whether the Executive is a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code as of
the time of the Executive’s separation from service shall be made by the Company in accordance with the terms of Section 409A (including, without limitation, Section 1.409A-1(i) of the Department of Treasury Regulations and any
successor provision thereto); (iv) to the extent that any Installment Payments under this Agreement are deemed to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A, for purposes of
Section 409A (including, without limitation, for purposes of Section 

  
 12 








 
1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii) of the Department of Treasury Regulations), each such payment that the Executive may be eligible to receive under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate and distinct
payment; (v) to the extent that any reimbursements or corresponding in-kind benefits provided to the Executive under this Agreement are deemed to constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A, such reimbursements or
benefits shall be provided reasonably promptly, but in no event later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred, and in any event in accordance with Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv) of the Department of
Treasury Regulations; and (vi) the amount of any such payments or expense reimbursements in one calendar year shall not affect the expenses or in-kind benefits eligible for payment or reimbursement in any other calendar year, other than an
arrangement providing for the reimbursement of medical expenses referred to in Section 105(b) of the Code, and the Executive’s right to such payments or reimbursement of any such expenses shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for
any other benefit.
 10. Assignment and Successors. The Company may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to
any entity, including any successor to all or substantially all the assets of the Company, by merger or otherwise, and may assign or encumber this Agreement and its rights hereunder as security for indebtedness of the Company and its

if the parties cannot agree. Arbitration may be compelled, and judgment may be entered on the arbitration award in any court having jurisdiction; provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled to seek a restraining order or injunction in
any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent any continuation of any violation of the provisions of Section 7, and the Executive hereby consents that such restraining order or injunction may be granted without requiring the Company to

provision had never comprised a portion of this Agreement; and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from
this Agreement. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be
possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.
