himself of all material information reasonably available before voting on a transaction and Director may act as a member of the
Board of Directors only for the purpose of advancing the best interests of the Company and all of its stockholders, may not intentionally
violate the law and may not consciously disregard Director’s duties to the Company (including any subsidiary) and its stockholders.

and enforced equally upon all directors.

4.          Non-Disparagement.
Director agrees to forbear from making, causing to be made, publishing, ratifying or endorsing any and all disparaging remarks,
derogatory statements or comments to any third party with respect to the Company and its affiliates, including, without limitation,
the Company’s parent, subsidiaries, officers, directors and employees (collectively, “Company Parties”). Further,
Director hereby agrees to forbear from making any public or non-confidential statement with respect to any of the Company Parties.
The duties and obligations of this paragraph 4 shall continue following the termination of this Agreement.


 


5.          Confidentiality.
Director agrees that Director will have access to and become acquainted with confidential
proprietary information of the Company and its subsidiaries (“Confidential Information”) which is owned by the Company
and its subsidiaries and is regularly used in the operation of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ businesses. As
used in this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” shall mean proprietary and non-public information that
is not disclosed by the Company in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Director agrees
that the term “Confidential Information” as used in this Agreement is to be broadly interpreted and includes (i) information
that has, or could have, commercial value for the business in which the Company or any of
its subsidiaries is engaged, or in which the Company or its subsidiaries may
engage at a later time, and (ii) information that, if disclosed without authorization, could be detrimental to the economic interests
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
Director agrees that the term “Confidential Information” includes, without limitation, any patent, patent application,
copyright, trademark, trade name, service mark, service name, “know-how,” negative “know-how,” trade secrets,
customer and supplier identities, characteristics and terms of agreement, details of customer or consultant contracts, pricing
policies, operational methods, marketing plans or strategies, product development techniques or plans, business acquisitions plans,
science or technical information, ideas, discoveries, designs, computer programs (including source codes), financial forecasts,
unpublished financial information, budgets, processes, procedures, formulae, improvements or other proprietary or intellectual
property of the Company, whether or not in written or tangible form, and whether or not registered, and including all memoranda,
notes, summaries, plans, reports, records, documents and other evidence thereof. Director
acknowledges that all Confidential Information, whether prepared by Director or otherwise acquired by Director in any other way,
shall remain the exclusive property of the Company. Director promises and agrees that Director shall not misuse, misappropriate,
or disclose in any way to any person or entity any of the Company’s Confidential Information, either directly or indirectly,
nor will Director use the Confidential Information in any way or at any time except as required in the course of Director’s
business relationship with the Company. Director agrees that the sale or unauthorized use or disclosure of any of the Company’s
Confidential Information constitutes unfair competition. Director promises and agrees not to engage in any unfair competition
with the Company and will take measures that are appropriate to prevent its employees or contractors from engaging in unfair competition
with the Company. Director further agrees that, at any time, upon the request of the Company and without further compensation,
but at no expense to Director, Director shall perform any lawful acts, including the execution of papers and oaths and the giving
of testimony, that in the opinion of the Company, its successors or assigns, may be necessary or desirable in order to obtain,
sustain, reissue and renew, and in order to enforce, perfect, record and maintain, patent applications and United States and foreign
patents on the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ inventions, and copyright registrations on the Company’s and its
subsidiaries’ inventions. The duties and obligations of this paragraph 5 shall continue, even after the termination
of this Agreement.

6.          Term.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the term of this Agreement and the duties and obligations of Director and the Company
under it shall continue until the later of (i) the date that the Company’s stockholders fail to re-elect Director as a member
of the Company’s Board of Directors, including as a result of the failure by the Company to nominate Director as a candidate
for election or (ii) the date that Director ceases to be a member of the Company’s Board of Directors for any reason. Director
may voluntarily resign from Director’s position on the Board of Directors at any time and such resignation shall not be
considered a breach of this Agreement.


 


7.          Cooperation.
Director will notify the Company promptly if Director is subpoenaed or otherwise served with legal process in any matter involving
the Company or any subsidiary and will cooperate in the review, defense or prosecution of any such matter. Director will notify
the Company if any attorney who is not representing the Company contacts or attempts to contact Director (other than Director’s
own legal counsel) to obtain information that in any way relates to the Company or any subsidiary, and Director will not discuss
any of these matters with any such attorney without first so notifying the Company and providing the Company with an opportunity
to have its attorney present during any meeting or conversation with any such attorney. In the event of any claim or litigation
against the Company or Director based upon any alleged conduct, acts or omissions of Director during Director’s tenure as
a director of the Company, Director will provide to the Company such information and documents as are necessary and reasonably
requested by the Company or its counsel, subject to restrictions imposed by federal or state securities laws or court order or
injunction. The foregoing shall be subject to the terms and conditions of any indemnification agreement entered into between the
Company and Director, the terms and conditions of which shall govern and shall supersede this paragraph 7 in the event of any
conflict between this paragraph 7 and such indemnification agreement.


 


8.          Entire
Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter herein.


 


9.          Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the law of the State of California. Any action or proceeding arising out of or relating
to this Agreement shall be filed in and heard and litigated solely before the federal courts of California located within Santa
Clara County. Each party generally and unconditionally accepts the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and venue therein.


 


10.          Injunctive
Relief. It is agreed that the rights and benefits of the Company pursuant to Sections 1, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of this Agreement are
unique and that no adequate remedy exists at law if Director shall fail to perform, or breaches, any of Director’s obligations
thereunder, that it would be difficult to determine the amount of damages resulting therefrom, and that any such breach would
cause irreparable injury to the Company. Therefore, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent or restrain
any such breach of this Agreement by Director.


 


11.          Insurance.
The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance throughout
the term of Director's service to the Company as a director, in amounts and with such carrier(s) and on such terms as determined
by the Board of Directors, or any committee of the Board of Directors empowered for such purpose.
