 2.1 Position. Executive is employed as Senior Vice President, Strategic Sales, and shall have the duties and responsibilities
assigned by Company both upon the Effective Date and as may be reasonably assigned from time to time. Executive shall perform faithfully and diligently all duties assigned to Executive. Company reserves the right to modify Executive’s position
and duties at any time in its sole and absolute discretion. 
 2.2 Best Efforts/Full-time. Executive will expend
Executive’s best efforts on behalf of Company, and will abide by all policies and decisions made by Company, as well as all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations or ordinances. Executive will act in the best interest of Company

with or without cause, by either Executive or Company, except as otherwise specified in section 7 below. In addition, Company reserves the right to modify Employee’s position or duties to meet business needs. No representative of Company, other
than an authorized representative of Company, has the authority to alter the at-will employment relationship. Any change to the at-will employment relationship must be by specific, written agreement signed by Executive and Company’s President.
Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or should be construed to contradict, modify or alter this at-will relationship. 
 4.
Compensation. 
 4.1 Base Salary. As compensation for Executive’s performance of Executive’s duties

prorated to the date of termination. 
 4.2 Incentive Compensation. Executive will be eligible to receive incentive
compensation based on achievement of targeted goals and objectives agreed on by Executive and Company. 







 4.3 Performance and Salary Review. Company will periodically review

Executive’s duties on behalf of Company. To obtain reimbursement, expenses must be submitted promptly with appropriate supporting documentation in accordance with Company’s policies. 
 7. Termination of Executive’s Employment. 
 7.1 Termination for Cause by Company. Although Company anticipates a mutually rewarding employment relationship with Executive, Company may terminate Executive’s employment immediately at any time for
Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” is defined as: (a) acts or omissions constituting gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of Executive with respect to Executive’s obligations or otherwise
relating to the business of Company; (b) Executive’s material breach of this Agreement or Company’s Employee Nondisclosure and Assignment Agreement; (c) Executive’s conviction or entry of a plea of nolo contendere for fraud,
misappropriation or embezzlement, or any felony or crime of moral turpitude; or (d) Executive’s willful neglect of duties as determined in the sole and exclusive discretion of Company. In the event Executive’s employment is terminated
in accordance with this subsection 7.1, Executive shall be entitled to receive only the Base Salary then in effect, prorated to the date of termination, and any amounts earned and payable pursuant to sections 5 and 6 (“Standard
Entitlements”). All other Company obligations to Executive pursuant to this Agreement will become automatically terminated and completely extinguished. Executive will not be entitled to receive the Severance Payment described in subsection 7.2
below. 
 7.2 Termination Without Cause by Company/Severance. Company may terminate Executive’s employment under
this Agreement without Cause at any time on thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to Executive. In the event of such termination, Executive will receive the Standard Entitlements and a “Severance Payment” equivalent to four
(4) months of Executive’s Base Salary then in effect on the date of termination, payable in accordance with Company’s regular payroll cycle, provided that Executive: (a) complies with all surviving provisions of this Agreement as
specified in subsection 12.8 below; and (b) executes a full general release in a form suitable to Company. All other Company obligations to Executive will be automatically terminated and completely extinguished. 
 7.3 Voluntary Resignation by Executive. Executive may voluntarily resign Executive’s position with Company at any time for any
reason on thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to Company. In the event of Executive’s resignation, Executive will be entitled to receive only the Standard Entitlements for the thirty-day notice period and no other amount. All
other Company obligations to Executive pursuant to this Agreement will become automatically terminated and completely extinguished. Executive will not be entitled to receive the Severance Payment described in subsection 7.2 above.

 7.4 Section 409A Compliance. The parties intend for this Agreement either to
satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and all applicable guidance promulgated thereunder (together, “Section 409A”) or to be exempt from the application of Section 409A, and
this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted accordingly. If this Agreement either fails to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A or is not exempt from the application of Section 409A, then the parties hereby agree to amend or to
clarify this Agreement in a timely manner so that this Agreement either satisfies the requirements of Section 409A or is exempt from the application of Section 409A. 
 (a) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, any termination of employment contemplated under this Agreement shall
satisfy the applicable requirements of a “separation from service” under Section 409A. 
 (b) Notwithstanding
any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that Executive is a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A), any severance payment, severance benefits or other amounts payable under this Agreement that would be
subject to the special rule regarding payments to “specified employees” under Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code (together, “Specified Employee Payments”) shall not be paid before the expiration of a period of six months
following the date of Executive’s termination of employment (or before the date of Executive’s death, if earlier). The Specified Employee Payments to which Executive would otherwise have been entitled during the six-month period following
the date of Executive’s termination of employment shall be accumulated and paid as soon as administratively practicable following the first day of the seventh month following the date of Executive’s termination of employment. 

(c) To ensure satisfaction of the requirements of Section 409A(b)(3) of the Code, assets shall not be set aside, reserved in a
trust or other arrangement, or otherwise restricted for purposes of the payment of amounts payable under this Agreement. 
 (d) Company hereby informs Executive that the federal, state, local, and/or foreign tax consequences (including without limitation those tax consequences implicated by Section 409A) of this Agreement are complex and subject to change.
Executive acknowledges and understands that Executive should consult with his or her own personal tax or financial advisor in connection with this Agreement and its tax consequences. Executive understands and agrees that Company has no obligation
and no responsibility to provide Executive with any tax or other legal advice in connection with this Agreement and its tax consequences. Executive agrees that Executive shall bear sole and exclusive responsibility for any and all adverse personal
federal, state, local, and/or foreign tax consequences (including without limitation any and all tax liability under Section 409A) of this Agreement, and fully indemnifies and holds Company harmless therefor. 
 8. No Conflict of Interest. During the term of Executive’s employment pursuant to this Agreement, Executive must not engage in any work, paid
or unpaid, that creates an actual conflict of interest with Company. Such work shall include, but is not limited to, directly or indirectly competing with Company in any way, or acting as an officer, director, employee, consultant, stockholder,
volunteer, lender, or agent of any business enterprise of the same nature as, or which is in direct competition with, the business in which Company is now engaged or in which Company becomes engaged during the term of Executive’s employment
with Company, as may be determined by Company in its sole discretion. If Company believes such a conflict exists during the term of this Agreement, Company may ask Executive to choose either to discontinue the other work or voluntarily resign
employment with Company.

 9. Confidentiality and Proprietary Rights. Executive agrees to read, sign and abide by
Company’s Employee Nondisclosure and Assignment Agreement, which is provided with this Agreement and incorporated herein by reference. 
 10. Injunctive Relief. Executive acknowledges that Executive’s breach of the covenants contained in sections 8-9, including Company’s Employee Nondisclosure and Assignment Agreement incorporated therein, (collectively
“Covenants”) would cause irreparable injury to Company and agrees that in the event of any such breach, Company shall be entitled to seek temporary and preliminary injunctive relief, to the extent allowed by applicable law, without the
necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or other security. 
 11. Agreement to Arbitrate. In the event of any dispute
or claim relating to or arising out of the employment relationship between Company and Executive or the termination of that relationship (including, but not limited to, any claims of wrongful termination or age, sex, race, disability or other
discrimination), Executive and Company agree that all such disputes shall be fully and finally resolved by binding arbitration conducted before a single neutral arbitrator in Seattle, Washington pursuant to the rules for arbitration of employment
disputes by the American Arbitration Association (available at www.adr.org). This agreement to arbitrate is subject to the Washington Arbitration Act, which is incorporated herein by reference, and/or the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrator
shall permit adequate discovery and is empowered to award all remedies otherwise available in a court of competent jurisdiction. Any judgment rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall
issue an award in writing and state the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. By executing this Agreement, Executive and Company are both waiving the right to a jury trial with respect to any such disputes. Company shall
bear the costs of the arbitrator, forum and filing fees. Each party shall bear its own respective attorneys’ fees and all other costs, unless otherwise provided by law and awarded by the arbitrator. This arbitration agreement does not include
claims that, by law, may not be subject to mandatory arbitration. 
 12. General Provisions. 
 12.1 Successors and Assigns. The rights and obligations of Company under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be
binding upon the successors and assigns of Company. Executive shall not be entitled to assign any of Executive’s rights or obligations under this Agreement. 
 12.2 Waiver. Either party’s failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not in any way be construed as a waiver
of any such provision, or prevent that party thereafter from enforcing each and every other provision of this Agreement. 
 12.3 Attorneys’ Fees. Each side will bear its own attorneys’ fees in any dispute unless a statutory section at issue, if any, authorizes the award of attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party. 
 12.4 Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable by an arbitrator or court of competent
jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to allow enforceability of the provision as so limited, it being intended that the parties shall receive the benefit contemplated herein to the fullest extent permitted by
law. If a deemed modification is not satisfactory in the judgment of such arbitrator or court, the unenforceable provision shall be deemed deleted, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby.
