5. Consequences of Termination or Breach.  

(a) Death or Disability; Termination for Cause or Without Good Reason. If, during the Term, Executive’s employment
under this Agreement is terminated under Section 4(a) or 4(b) or as a result of the Company or Executive giving a non-renewal notice pursuant to Section 1, or Executive terminates her employment for any reason other than for Good Reason,
Executive shall not thereafter be entitled to receive any compensation or benefits under this Agreement, other than (i) Base Salary earned but not yet paid prior to the Termination Date, (ii) reimbursement of any expenses pursuant to
Section 3(e) incurred prior to the Termination Date and (iii) vested equity in accordance with Section 3(f)(ii). For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means a material breach by the Company of its obligations under

Agreement is terminated by the Company without Cause (which the Company shall have the right to do with or without Cause at any time during the Term) and other than under Section 4(a) or as a result of the Company giving a non-renewal notice
pursuant to Section 1, or Executive terminates her employment for Good Reason, the sole obligations of the Company to Executive shall be (i) to make the payments described in clauses (i) through (iii) (inclusive) of
Section 5(a), and (ii) subject to Executive providing the Company with the release and separation agreement described below, to provide continuation of Executive’s then current Base Salary and medical, dental and insurance benefits by
the Company for a one (1) year period commencing with the Termination Date, which amount shall be payable in substantially equal installments in accordance with the normal payroll practices of the Company and shall be offset by any compensation
and benefits that Executive receives from other employment (including self-employment) during such payment period. Executive agrees to promptly notify the Company upon her obtaining other employment or commencing self-employment during the severance
period and to provide the Company with complete information regarding her compensation thereunder. The Company’s obligations to provide the payments referred to in this Section 5(b) shall be contingent upon (A) Executive having
delivered to the Company a fully executed separation agreement and release (that is not subject to revocation) of claims against the Company and its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives
satisfactory in form and content to the Company’s counsel, and (B) Executive’s continued compliance with her obligations under Section 6 of this Agreement. Executive acknowledges and agrees that in the event the Company
terminates Executive’s employment without Cause or Executive terminates her employment for Good Reason, (1) Executive’s sole remedy shall be to receive the payments specified in this Section 5(b) and (2) if Executive does
not execute the separation agreement and release described above, Executive shall have no remedy with respect to such termination.

whatsoever, Executive shall immediately surrender to the Company all Confidential Information and property of the Company in Executive’s possession. 

(b) Non-Competition. Executive agrees that, during the Term, and for a one-year period thereafter (the

business or corporation, any business in competition with the business carried on by the Company or any of its affiliates in any jurisdiction in which the Company or any of its affiliates actively conduct business; provided, however, that if the
Company elects to enforce this provision, and Executive is not otherwise receiving separation pay pursuant to Section 5(b) herein, the Company shall continue Executive’s then current base salary during the Non-Competition Period, payable
in substantially equal installments in accordance with the normal payroll practices of the Company. If the Company, at its sole option, decides not to continue Executive’s base salary at any time during the Non-Competition Period and Executive
is not otherwise receiving separation pay pursuant to Section 5(b) herein, this non-competition provision shall not thereafter be enforceable. 

(c) No Hiring. During the two-year period immediately following the Termination Date, Executive shall not employ or
retain (or participate in or arrange for the employment or retention of) any person who was employed or retained by the Company or any of its affiliates within the one (1) year period immediately preceding such employment or retention. 

(d) Non-Disparagement. During the Term and thereafter, Executive agrees not to disparage the Company or any of its
affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives or licensees and not to publish or make any statement that is reasonably foreseeable to become public with respect to any of such entities or persons. 

(e) Copyrights, Inventions, etc. Any interest in patents, patent applications, inventions, technological innovations,
copyrights, copyrightable works, developments, discoveries, designs, concepts, ideas and processes (“Such Inventions”) that Executive now or hereafter during the Term may own, acquire or develop either individually or with others relating
to the fields in which the Company or any of its affiliates may then be engaged or contemplate being engaged shall belong to the Company or such affiliate and forthwith upon request of the Company, Executive shall execute all such assignments and
other documents (including applications for patents, copyrights, trademarks and assignments thereof) and take all such other action as the Company may reasonably request in order to assign to and vest in the Company or its affiliates all of
Executive’s right, title and interest (including, without limitation, waivers to moral rights) in and to Such Inventions throughout the world, free and clear of liens, mortgages, security interests, pledges, charges and encumbrances. Executive
acknowledges and agrees that (i) all copyrightable works created by Executive as an employee will be “works made for hire” on behalf of the Company and its affiliates and that the Company and its affiliates shall have all rights
therein in perpetuity throughout the world and (ii) to the extent that any such works do not qualify as works made for hire, Executive irrevocably assigns and transfers to the Company and its affiliates all worldwide right, title and interest
in and to such works. Executive hereby appoints any officer of the Company as Executive’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact to execute, file, prosecute and protect Such Inventions before any governmental agency, court or authority. If for any
reason the Company does not own any Such Invention, the Company and its affiliates shall have the exclusive and royalty-free right to use in their businesses, and to make products therefrom, Such Invention as well as any improvements or know-how
related thereto. 
 (f) Remedy for Breach and Modification. Executive acknowledges that the foregoing provisions of
this Section 6 are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Company and its affiliates, and that they will be materially and irrevocably damaged if these provisions are not specifically enforced. Accordingly, Executive agrees that, in
addition to any other relief or remedies available to the Company and its affiliates, they shall be entitled to seek an appropriate injunctive or other equitable remedy for the purposes of restraining Executive from any actual or threatened breach
of or otherwise enforcing these provisions and no bond or security will be required in connection therewith. If any provision of this Section 6 is deemed invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed modified and limited to the
extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.
