provided, however, that any such event shall not constitute Good Reason unless and until the Eligible Executive has provided the Company with
written notice thereof no later than 30 days following the initial occurrence of such event and the Company shall have failed to remedy such event (if capable of being remedied) within 30 days of receipt of such notice, and the Eligible Executive

(a) If an Eligible Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or, with respect to a
C-Level Eligible Executive, if the C-Level Eligible Executive terminates employment for Good Reason and in each case the Date of Termination occurs outside of the Change
of Control Period, then, in addition to the Accrued Obligations, and subject to (i) the Eligible Executive signing a separation agreement and release in a form and manner satisfactory to the Company, which shall include, without
limitation, a general release of claims against the Company and all related persons and entities, a non-disparagement provision, a return of property provision, a reaffirmation of all of the Executive’s
Continuing Obligations, a confirmation of the Eligible Executive’s resignation from all officer, trustee and board member 

  
 3 













 
positions that the Eligible Executive holds with the Company or any of its respective Subsidiaries and affiliates, if applicable, and, at the Company’s sole discretion, a 1-year post-employment non-competition agreement, and which shall provide that if the Eligible Executive breaches any of the Continuing Obligations, all payments of the
severance payments and benefits shall immediately cease (such separation agreement and release, the “Separation Agreement”), and (ii) the Separation Agreement becoming irrevocable, all within the time frame set forth in the
Separation Agreement but in no event more than 60 days after the Date of Termination, such Eligible Executive shall be entitled to receive the following severance payments and benefits: 

(i) continuation of the Eligible Executive’s Base Salary for the applicable Salary Continuation Period, as set forth on Schedule
A, to be paid in substantially equal installments over the Salary Continuation Period (the “Severance Amount”); provided, however, that in the event the Eligible Executive is entitled to any payments pursuant to
any Restrictive Covenant Agreement, the Severance Amount received in any calendar year will be reduced by the amount the Eligible Executive is paid in the same calendar year pursuant to such Restrictive Covenant Agreement (the “Restrictive
Covenant Agreement Setoff”); and, 
 (ii) continuation of group health plan benefits to the extent authorized by and consistent
with 29 U.S.C. § 1161 et seq. (commonly known as “COBRA”), with the cost of the regular premium for such benefits shared in the same relative proportion by the Company and the Eligible Executive as in effect on the Date of Termination
until the earlier of: (A) the end of the applicable Benefit Continuation Period, as set forth on Schedule A, and (B) the date the Eligible Executive or the Eligible Executive’s spouse becomes eligible for health benefits
through another employer or otherwise become ineligible for COBRA. 
 (b) The amounts payable under Section 3(a)(i) shall be paid out
in substantially equal installments in accordance with the Company’s payroll practice over the applicable Salary Continuation Period commencing within 60 days after the Date of Termination; provided, however, that if the 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, such payments, to the extent they qualify as “non-qualified deferred compensation”
within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, shall begin to be paid in the second calendar year by the last day of such 60-day period; provided, further, that the initial payment shall
include a catch-up payment to cover amounts retroactive to the day immediately following the Date of Termination. Each payment pursuant to this Policy is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes
of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). 
 SECTION 4. SEVERANCE BENEFITS WITHIN THE CHANGE OF CONTROL
PERIOD. 
 The provisions of this Section 4 shall apply in lieu of, and expressly supersede, the provisions of Section 3 if
(i) an Eligible Executive’s employment is terminated either (a) by the Company without Cause or (b) by the Eligible Executive for Good Reason, and (ii) the Date of Termination is within the Change of Control Period. These
provisions shall terminate and be of no further force or effect after the Change of Control Period. In the event an Eligible Executive is entitled to the severance payments benefits under this Section 4 but has already begun receiving severance
payments and benefits pursuant to the provisions of Section 3, then the Eligible Executive will receive the severance payments and benefits set forth in this Section 4 following the occurrence of a Change in Control; provided that
the lump sum amount under this 

  
 4 













 
Section 4 to be paid to the Eligible Executive following the occurrence of a Change in Control will be decreased by any severance pay and benefits previously paid to the of Eligible
Executive pursuant to Section 3, and the Eligible Executive will receive no further severance pay and benefits pursuant to Section 3. In no event may there be duplication of severance pay and benefits under Section 3 and
Section 4. 
 (a) If an Eligible Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or an Eligible Executive
terminates employment for Good Reason and in each case the Date of Termination occurs within the Change of Control Period, then, in addition to the Accrued Obligations, and subject to (i) the Eligible Executive signing the Separation Agreement,
and (ii) the Separation Agreement becoming irrevocable, all within the time frame set forth in the Separation Agreement but in no event more than 60 days after the Date of Termination, such Eligible Executive shall be entitled to receive the
following severance payments and benefits: 
 (i) a lump sum in cash in an amount equal to the applicable Multiplier, as set forth on
Schedule B, times the sum of (A) the Eligible Executive’s Base Salary plus (B) the Eligible Executive’s Target Bonus (such product, the “Change of Control Payment”); provided, however, that
the Change of Control Payment shall be reduced by the amount of any Restrictive Covenant Agreement Setoff, if applicable; 
 (ii) a lump
sum in cash equal to a pro rata portion (based on the number of days the Eligible Executive was employed by the Company during the calendar year in which the Date of Termination occurs) of the Eligible Executive’s Target Bonus; 

(iii) continuation of group health plan benefits to the extent authorized by and consistent with 29 U.S.C. § 1161 et seq., with the cost
of the regular premium for such benefits shared in the same relative proportion by the Company and the Eligible Executive as in effect on the Date of Termination until the earlier of: (A) the end of the applicable Benefit Continuation Period,
as set forth on Schedule B, and (B) the date the Eligible Executive or the Eligible Executive’s spouse becomes eligible for health benefits through another employer or otherwise become ineligible for COBRA; and 

(iv) full accelerated vesting with respect to any of the Eligible Executive’s then outstanding stock options, restricted stock units or
other equity incentive awards, which shall immediately accelerate and become fully exercisable or nonforfeitable as of the later of the Date of Termination and the effective date of the Separation Agreement. The forfeiture of any unvested equity
will be delayed to the extent necessary to effectuate this provision and will not occur if the acceleration pursuant to this provision occurs. 

(b) The amounts payable under Section 4(a)(i) shall be paid within 60 days after the Date of Termination; provided,
however, that if the 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, such payments to the extent they qualify as “non-qualified
deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, shall be paid in the second calendar year by the last day of such 60-day period.

 SECTION 5. CONTINUING OBLIGATIONS. 

An Eligible Executive’s eligibility to participate in this Plan and receive the severance benefits provided under Section 3 or
Section 4 (as applicable) is in consideration of the Eligible Executive entering into and/or otherwise being party to a Restrictive Covenant Agreement in a form provided by the Company. All severance benefits provided under Section 3 or
Section 4 (as applicable) are in consideration of the Eligible Executive’s timely execution of and compliance with the Separation Agreement and the Eligible Executive’s continued compliance with the Continuing Obligations. If the
Eligible Executive fails to comply with (a) the terms of the Separation Agreement or (b) the terms of the Continuing Obligations, the Company reserves the right to withhold or terminate any unpaid severance payments or benefits (with the
exception of legally-mandated benefits), including, without limitation, all severance payments and benefits provided under Section 3 or Section 4 (as applicable), and require the Eligible Executive to repay any amounts the Eligible
Executive may have previously received under this Plan. Neither the Company’s termination of any such unpaid severance payments or benefits nor the Eligible Executive’s repayment of any such amounts the Eligible Executive may have
previously received under this Plan shall affect the Eligible Executive’s continuing obligations under this Plan, the Separation Agreement or the Continuing Obligations. 

SECTION 6. SECTION 280G LIMITATION. 

Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the amount of any compensation, payment or distribution by the Company
to or for the benefit of the Eligible Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Plan or otherwise, calculated in a manner consistent with Section 280G of the Code and the applicable
regulations thereunder (the “Severance Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, the following provisions shall apply: 

(a) If the Severance Payments, reduced by the sum of (i) the Excise Tax and (ii) the total of the Federal, state, and local income
and employment taxes payable by the Eligible Executive on the amount of the Severance Payments which are in excess of the Threshold Amount, are greater than or equal to the Threshold Amount, the Eligible Executive shall be entitled to the full
benefits payable under this Plan. 
 (b) If the Threshold Amount is less than (i) the Severance Payments, but greater than
(ii) the Severance Payments reduced by the sum of (A) the Excise Tax and (B) the total of the Federal, state, and local income and employment taxes on the amount of the Severance Payments which are in excess of the Threshold Amount,
then the Severance Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the extent necessary so that the sum of all Severance Payments shall not exceed the Threshold Amount. In such event, the Severance Payments shall be reduced in the following order:
(1) cash payments not subject to Section 409A of the Code; (2) cash payments subject to Section 409A of the Code; (3) equity-based payments and acceleration; and (4) noncash forms of benefits. To the extent any payment
is to be made over time (e.g., in installments, etc.), then the payments shall be reduced in reverse chronological order. 

  
 6 













 (c) For the purposes of this Section, “Threshold Amount” shall mean three
times the Eligible Executive’s “base amount” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder less one dollar ($1.00); and “Excise Tax” shall mean the excise tax
imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, and any interest or penalties incurred by the Eligible Executive with respect to such excise tax. 

(d) The determination as to which of the alternative provisions of this Section 6 shall apply to the Eligible Executive shall be made by
a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Eligible Executive within 15 business days of the Date of
Termination, if applicable, or at such earlier time as is reasonably requested by the Company or the Eligible Executive. For purposes of determining which of the alternative provisions of this Section 6 shall apply, the Eligible Executive shall
be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation applicable to individuals for the calendar year in which the determination is to be made, and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rates of
individual taxation in the state and locality of the Eligible Executive’s residence on the Date of Termination, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes. Any
determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Eligible Executive. 
 SECTION 7. WITHHOLDING. 

Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, all payments required to be made by the Company hereunder to an Eligible Executive or an
Eligible Executive’s estate or beneficiaries shall be subject to the withholding of such amounts relating to taxes as the Company reasonably may determine it should withhold pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. In lieu of withholding
such amounts, in whole or in part, the Company may, in its sole discretion, accept other provisions for the payment of taxes and any withholdings as required by law, provided that the Company is satisfied that all requirements of law
affecting its responsibilities to withhold compensation have been satisfied. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to require the Company to make any payments to compensate the Eligible Executive for any adverse tax effect associated with any
payments or benefits or for any deduction or withholding from any payment or benefit. 
 SECTION 8. NO DUTY TO MITIGATE; INTEGRATION WITH OTHER PAY OR
BENEFITS. 
 An Eligible Executive’s payments received hereunder shall be considered severance pay in consideration of past service
and entitlement thereto shall not be governed by any duty to mitigate damages by seeking further employment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all severance benefits provided to an Eligible Executive pursuant to Section 3 or
Section 4 (as applicable) shall be reduced and/or offset by any amounts or benefits paid to an Eligible Executive to satisfy the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, 29 U.S.C. § 2101 et seq., as amended, and
any applicable state plant or facility closing or mass layoff law (whether as damages, as payment of salary or other wages during an applicable notice period or otherwise).

 SECTION 9. AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION. 

This Plan may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time by the Board; provided, however, that no such amendment, suspension
or termination shall adversely affect the rights of any Eligible Executive then subject to this Plan, including, without limitation, an Eligible Executive then receiving payments, benefits or equity-related rights under this Plan, without the
Eligible Executive’s written consent. 
 SECTION 10. ADMINISTRATION. 

This Plan shall be administered by either the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board or such other committee or person(s) appointed
by the Board from time to time to administer this Plan (in either case, the “Administrator”); provided, however, that this Plan shall not be interpreted in a way that is less favorable to an Eligible Executive than
would be the case under the Eligible Executive’s Employment Agreement in effect as of the Effective Date of this Plan. The Administrator shall have the power and authority to interpret the terms and provisions of this Plan, to make all
determinations it deems advisable for the administration of this Plan, to decide all disputes arising in connection with this Plan and to otherwise supervise the administration of this Plan. All decisions and interpretations of the Administrator
shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons. 
 SECTION 11. GOVERNING LAW. 

This Plan shall be governed by the laws of the United States to the extent applicable and otherwise by the laws of the Delaware, excluding the
choice of law rules thereof. 
 SECTION 12. SEVERABILITY. 

If any part of any provision of this Plan shall be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, such part shall be ineffective to the extent
of such invalidity or unenforceability only, without in any way affecting the remaining parts of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Plan. 

SECTION 13. SUCCESSOR TO COMPANY. 
 The
Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect and whether by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or assets of the Company expressly to
assume and agree to perform this Plan to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no succession had taken place. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Eligible Executive remains employed or becomes employed by the Company,
the purchaser or any of their affiliates in connection with any such transaction, then the Eligible Executive shall not be entitled to any payments, benefits or vesting pursuant to this Plan solely as a result of such transaction. 

  
 8 













 SECTION 14. UNFUNDED PLAN. 

This Plan shall be unfunded and shall not create (or be construed to create) a trust or separate fund. Likewise, this Plan shall not establish
any fiduciary relationship between the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates and any Eligible Executive. 
 SECTION 15. DISCLAIMER OF
RIGHTS. 
 No provision in this Plan shall be construed to confer upon any individual the right to remain in the employ or service of the
Company or any Subsidiary, or to interfere in any way with any contractual or other right or authority of the Company either to increase or decrease the compensation or other payments to any individual at any time, or to terminate any employment or
other relationship between any individual and the Company. The obligation of the Company to pay any benefits pursuant to this Plan shall be interpreted as a contractual obligation to pay only those amounts described herein, in the manner and under
the conditions prescribed herein. This Plan shall in no way be interpreted to require the Company to transfer any amounts to a third party trustee or otherwise hold any amounts in trust or escrow for payment to any participant or beneficiary under
the terms of this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, in the event of an Eligible Executive’s death after the Eligible Executive’s termination of employment but prior to the completion by the Company of all
payments due to the Eligible Executive under this Plan, the Company shall continue such payments to the Eligible Executive’s beneficiary designated in writing to the Company prior to the Eligible Executive’s death (or to the Eligible
Executive’s estate, if the Eligible Executive fails to make such designation). 
 If an Eligible Executive’s employment is
terminated for Cause or due to death or Disability or the Eligible Executive voluntarily terminates employment with the Company (other than, with respect to any C-Level Eligible Executive, for Good Reason, or,
with respect to any other Eligible Executive, for Good Reason during the Change of Control Period), the Eligible Executive shall be entitled to only the Accrued Obligations through the Date of Termination. The mere occurrence of a Change of Control
shall not, by itself, be treated as a termination of an Eligible Executive’s employment under this Plan, nor shall the mere transfer of an Eligible Executive’s employment between the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries, by itself, be
treated as a termination of employment under this Plan. Further, Section 3 and Section 4 of this Plan are mutually exclusive and in no event shall an Eligible Executive be entitled to severance payments or benefits pursuant to both
Section 3 and Section 4 of this Plan. 
 SECTION 16. CAPTIONS. 

The use of captions in this Plan is for the convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning of any provision of this Plan. 

SECTION 17. NUMBER AND GENDER. 
 With
respect to words used in this Plan, the singular form shall include the plural form, the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, etc., as the context requires. 

  
 9 













 SECTION 18. SECTION 409A. 

(a) Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of the Eligible Executive’s “separation from service”
within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Company determines that the Eligible Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit
that the Eligible Executive becomes entitled to under this Plan on account of the Eligible Executive’s separation from service would be considered deferred compensation subject to the 20 percent additional tax imposed pursuant to
Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (i) six months and one
day after the Eligible Executive’s separation from service, or (ii) the Eligible Executive’s death. If any such delayed cash payment is otherwise payable on an installment basis, the first payment shall include a catch-up payment covering amounts that would otherwise have been paid during the six-month period but for the application of this provision, and the balance of the
installments shall be payable in accordance with their original schedule. 
 (b) It is intended that this Plan will be administered in
accordance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision of this Plan is ambiguous as to its exemption from or compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so to be exempt from or
in compliance with Section 409A of the Code so that all payments hereunder are either exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code. Each payment pursuant to this Plan is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of
applying Section 409A, any exemptions thereto and Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). 

(c) To the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Plan constitutes “non-qualified
deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable upon the Eligible Executive’s termination of employment, then such payments or benefits shall be payable only upon the
Eligible Executive’s “separation from service.” The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). 
 (d) The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no
liability to the Eligible Executive or any other person if any provisions of this Plan are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such
Section.
