Employment Agreement with Tim Westergren


 EXHIBIT 10.7 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 This Employment Agreement
(“Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of April 28, 2004 (“Effective Date”), by and between Tim Westergren (“Executive”) and Savage Beast Technologies
Incorporated, a California corporation (the “Company”) (collectively the “Parties”). 
 In consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as
follows: 
 1. Position and Duties. Executive shall serve as the President of the Company, working
primarily out the Company’s offices in Oakland, California. Executive shall have the duties, responsibilities and authority customarily associated with his title and office. 

2. Compensation and Benefits. 

(a) Base Salary. The Company shall pay Executive a salary of $7,291.66 per semi-monthly pay period
($175,000 annualized), less applicable withholdings and deductions (“Base Salary”). Executive’s Base Salary shall be reviewed by the Board at least annually. 

(b) Discretionary Founder Payment. Executive will also be eligible for an annual discretionary cash
bonus of up to $50,000 based on Executive’s individual contribution and MBO plan to the Company during each calendar year of Executive’s employment. The amount of any discretionary payment shall be determined by the Board and, where
awarded, shall be paid in full by the Company within 30 days after calendar year-end. 
 (c) Stock
Options. 
 (i) Initial Grant. As of the Effective Date, the Company shall grant to
Executive a stock option to purchase such number of shares of the Company’s common stock as equals nine and sixty seven hundredths percent (9.67%) of the Company’s total “Outstanding Stock” (defined below) as
calculated immediately following the final closing of the Company’s next round of financing (currently anticipated to be in the form of Series B Preferred Stock) in which the Company raises, through all closings thereof, aggregate gross
proceeds of at least $5 million which number of shares will be reduced by 164,000 shares (such number has been adjusted for the Reverse Split (as defined under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation), but is subject
to adjustment for any subsequent stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reorganizations or like transactions) (“Initial Grant”). The exercise price of the Initial Grant shall be equal to the fair market value per share
of the Company’s common stock as of the Effective Date, currently expected to be no greater than one and one quarter ($.0125) per share. As used in this 






 
Agreement, the calculation of the Company’s total “Outstanding Stock” will include, in addition to all shares of common stock, all then-outstanding shares of preferred stock on an
as-converted basis, all then-outstanding options on an as-exercised basis and all then-outstanding warrants on an as-exercised (and, if applicable, as-converted) basis, and any authorized but unissued option shares in the Company’s employee
stock option pool. Thirty-eight percent (38%) of the Initial Grant shall be fully vested upon grant. The remaining sixty-two percent (62%) of the Initial Grant will vest in equal monthly installments over the four year period commencing on
March 18, 2004. 
 (ii) Nature of Options. The Initial Grant and any other stock option grants
made to Executive as specified in this Agreement will be incentive stock options to the maximum extent allowed by law and will be subject to the terms of the Company’s 2003 Stock Plan and a Stock Option Agreement between Executive and the
Company (including any related notice of stock option grant), which shall be consistent with the provisions in this Agreement. A full recourse five-year promissory note (“Promissory Note”) will be deemed an acceptable form of
payment by Executive. The Promissory Note will be secured by the shares that it is used to purchase and shall become due and payable on the earlier of (a) the Company’s filing for an initial public stock offering, (b) the
Company’s agreement to be acquired by a publicly traded company, (c) an event that would trigger an adverse accounting charge relating to the Note, and (d) five (5) years from execution of the Promissory Note. Any Stock Option
Agreements shall also permit up to 15% transfer of any of the shares to a trust for the benefit of Executive or any of Executive’s family members unless otherwise specified by the Board; provided that such transferred options shall retain the
same vesting terms and conditions. In addition, the Stock Option Agreements shall provide that following Executive’s termination date, Executive may exercise the stock options at any time until the end of the term of the stock options; provided
that such period of exercisability will terminate upon the closing of a Change of Control (as defined herein) unless the acquirer of the Company in such Change of Control specifically agrees to permit continued exercisability. In the event that such
period of exercisability would terminate upon the closing of a Change of Control, the Company agrees, upon the request of Executive, to amend the Stock Option Agreements effective not later than five days prior to the closing of such Change of
Control to add a “net exercise” feature to the Stock Option Agreements; provided that if the board of directors of the Company determines in its discretion that such amendment would trigger adverse accounting consequences for the Company
or the acquirer, then no such net exercise feature shall be added. The Initial Grant and any subsequent stock or stock options that may be granted to Executive by the Company are in addition to any stock (common or preferred) owned by Executive as
of the closing of the financing round described in paragraph 2(c)(i) (“Founder’s Shares”) and nothing in this Agreement will affect Executive’s rights to such Founder’s Shares. The
Promissory Note can only be used to purchase vested shares.

 (iii) Subsequent Option Grants. In addition, for calendar
years 2004 and 2005, at the discretion of the Board, Executive may be eligible to receive additional grants of stock options or stock purchase rights of up to 1/2% of the Company’s total Outstanding Stock as of the final closing of Series B
based on Executive’s individual contribution and MBO plan to the Company during each such calendar year. The amount of any discretionary grant shall be determined by the Board and, where awarded, shall be awarded in full by the Company within
30 days after calendar year-end. 
 (d) Additional Benefits. Executive shall be eligible for such
employee benefits and holidays as are customary for senior executives of the Company. The Company acknowledges that Executive is covered by the indemnification provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. The Company will also use
its best efforts to obtain and maintain, at its sole expense, director and officer liability insurance, for the period of Executive’s service as an officer and/or director and for so long thereafter as Executive may be subject to a claim,
covering any acts or omissions by Executive in Executive’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company or any parents, subsidiaries, affiliates predecessors or successors in interest or any other service by Executive at the request of the
Company unless such coverage has a commercially unreasonable price or burden on the company. 
 (e)
Business Expenses. Executive is authorized to incur any reasonable travel, entertainment or other business expenses in connection with his employment hereunder and the Company shall promptly reimburse Executive for all such expenses
upon his submission of appropriate supporting documentation. 
 (f) Tax and Legal Advice. Within
fourteen (14) days of Executive submitting a request for reimbursement to the Company, the Company will reimburse Executive in full for any and all reasonable costs and fees Executive incurs for services of an attorney and/or tax advisor to
assist in the review and/or negotiation of this Agreement, not to exceed $5,000. 
 3. At-Will Employment. Subject
to the Termination and Severance provisions herein, Executive’s employment with the Company is “at will,” which means that either Executive or the Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any time, for any or no reason,
with or without Cause. Any contrary representations that may have been made or may be made to Executive at any time shall be superseded and governed by this Section 3.

(12) months after termination of employment with the Company.
