 (d) Term. 
  
 (i) This Agreement is an employment contract for a term of
two (2) years beginning as of the Effective Date and ending on the second anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Initial Employment Term”). At the end of the Initial Employment Term, and at the end of each Additional Employment Term (as
herein defined), unless the Company (with the approval of the Board) has 

 
provided the Executive with at least sixty (60) days advance written notice, so long as the Executive continues to be employed by the Company, this
employment contract shall automatically renew for a term of one (1) year (each such additional term, an “Additional Employment Term”). The Initial Employment Term and each Additional Employment Term shall be referred to herein as an
“Employment Term.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Employment Term is subject to early termination (x) by reason of the Executive’s death or Disability, (y) by resolution of the Board with or without Cause, or (z) upon the
Executive’s voluntary resignation with or without Good Reason. For all purposes under this Agreement, a delivery of a notice by the Company to the Executive pursuant to this Section 2(d)(i) to avoid an Additional Employment Term shall be
treated as if an Employment Term has been terminated early by resolution of the Board without Cause. 
  
 (ii) The period of the Initial Employment Term together with each Additional Employment Term, if any, shall be referred to herein as the
“Employment Period.” Notwithstanding any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company (such termination, an “Employment Termination”), this Agreement shall remain a valid and enforceable contract between the
parties, including without limitation Sections 3, 4 and 5 hereof. 
  
 (e) Employment Termination. 
  
 (i) If any Employment Term is terminated early by resolution of the Board with Cause or by reason of the Executive’s voluntary resignation without Good Reason, then the Executive shall be entitled to receive only
all previously earned and accrued but unpaid Base Salary and vacation time up to the date of the Employment Termination (and not any accrued but unpaid Bonus as of the date of the Employment Termination). 
  
 (ii) If any Employment Term is terminated early by reason of
the Executive’s death or Disability, then the Executive shall be entitled to receive only (x) all previously earned and accrued but unpaid Base Salary and vacation time up to the date of the Employment Termination, (y) if the date of the
Employment Termination is 3 months after the commencement of a Bonus Year, then a portion of the Bonus earned by the Executive during such Bonus Year in which such termination occurs determined on a pro rated basis based on the number of days of the
applicable Bonus Year prior to the date of the Employment Termination as compared to the number of days in such Bonus Year, which payment will be made when such Bonus for such Bonus Year would otherwise be payable and (z) any Bonus earned by the
Executive during any Bonus Year which ended prior to the date of the Employment Termination and which has not been paid as of such date, which payment will be made when such Bonus for such Bonus Year would otherwise be payable. 

 (iii) If any Employment Term is terminated early by reason of the Executive’s
voluntary resignation with Good Reason or by resolution of the Board without Cause, then, subject to the last sentence of this section (iii), the Executive shall be entitled to receive only the following: (v) all previously earned and accrued but
unpaid Base Salary and vacation time up to the date of the Employment Termination, (w) his Base Salary and the Benefits marked on Exhibit A with an “#” for the twelve-month period beginning on the date of the Employment Termination;
provided, however, that such twelve-month period shall be extended until the date on which the Initial Employment Term would have ended if more than twelve months remained in the Initial Employment Term on the date of the Employment Termination;
provided, further, that in lieu of providing such benefits, the Company may elect to pay to the Executive the cost of premiums for such benefits, (x) the Benefits referred to in Section 2(c)(ii)(C) hereof for the three-month period beginning on the
date of the Employment Termination, (y) if the date of the Employment Termination is 3 months after the commencement of a Bonus Year, then a portion of the Bonus earned by the Executive during such Bonus Year in which such termination occurs
determined on a pro rated basis based on the number of days of the applicable Bonus Year prior to the date of the Employment Termination as compared to the number of days in such Bonus Year, which payment will be made when such Bonus for such Bonus
Year would otherwise be payable and (z) any Bonus earned by the Executive during any Bonus Year which ended prior to the date of the Employment Termination and which has not been paid as of such date, which payment will be made when such Bonus for
such Bonus Year would otherwise be payable. Notwithstanding these payments or benefits, the period for which the Executive is entitled to health care continuation coverage under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, shall
begin to run on the date of the Executive’s termination. As a condition to receiving any payments pursuant to this section 2(e)(iii), the Executive shall execute and deliver to the Company a general release (with ancillary covenants not to sue
and other similar standard provisions) of the Company and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors and employees from all claims of any kind whatsoever arising out of the Executive’s employment or termination thereof (including
without limitation, civil rights claims), in such form as reasonably requested by the Company; provided, however, that the release will not affect any contractual rights the Executive may otherwise have under any stock option plans of the Company or
option agreements thereunder; and provided further that the release shall not apply to any rights to which the Executive is entitled in accordance with plan provisions under any employee benefit plan or fringe benefit plan or program of the Company
and its Affiliates. 
  
 (iv) Except as expressly
provided in this Section 2(e), the Executive hereby agrees that upon and after the Employment Termination, no severance compensation of any kind, nature or amount (including by operation of law) shall be payable by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or Affiliates to the Executive and the Executive hereby irrevocably waives any claim for severance compensation of any kind, nature or amount (including by operation of law). 
  
  

 (v) Except as expressly provided in this Section 2(e), upon the Employment Termination,
except as required by law, all of the Executive’s rights to Benefits hereunder (if any) shall cease. 
  
 (vi) Subject to restrictive covenants contained in Section 5 hereof, the Executive may obtain other engagements or employment after the
date of an Employment Termination, and any compensation received or receivable by the Executive shall not reduce any amounts which the Company is required to pay to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement. 
  
 3. Work Product. The Executive agrees that all inventions, drawings,
improvements, developments, methods, processes, programs, designs and all similar or related information which relates to the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ actual or anticipated business or research and development or existing or
future products or services and which are conceived, developed, contributed to or made by the Executive (either solely or jointly with others) while employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (“Work Product”) shall be the sole and
exclusive property of the Company or any such Subsidiary. The Executive will promptly disclose such Work Product to the Company and perform all actions requested by the Company (whether during or after employment) to establish and confirm such
ownership (including, without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney and other instruments). 
  
 4. Confidential Information. 
  
 (a) The Executive acknowledges: 
  
 (i) That the Work Product, artificial intelligence systems, information, customer lists, goodwill, observations and data disclosed to,
developed by or obtained by him while employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries concerning the business or affairs of the Company or any such Subsidiary (including without limitation the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ technology,
methods of doing business and supplier and customer information) (collectively, “Confidential Information”) are highly confidential and uniquely valuable to the Company and its Subsidiaries; 
  
 (ii) That such Confidential Information is and shall
continue to be the property of the Company or any such Subsidiary; 
  
 (iii) That the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has a proprietary interest in their respective Confidential Information, including without limitation the identity of their respective customers and suppliers,
solicited customers, customer and supplier lists; 

 (iv) That the continued success of the Company and its Subsidiaries depends in large part
on keeping the Confidential Information from becoming known to competitors of the Company and its Subsidiaries; and 
  
 (v) That the Company and its Subsidiaries will be irreparably harmed by disclosure of any Confidential Information. 
  
 (b) Therefore, the Executive agrees: 
  
 (i) That, during his employment and for all times
thereafter, except as required by law or court order, he shall not directly or indirectly disclose to any unauthorized person or use for his own account any Confidential Information without the prior written consent of the Company, unless and to the
extent that the aforementioned matters become generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of the Executive’s acts or omissions to act; 
  
 (ii) To use his best efforts and diligence to safeguard the Confidential Information and to protect it
against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss or theft; 
  
 (iii) That upon the Employment Termination or at any other time the Company may request, for whatever reason, the Executive shall deliver (and in the event of the Executive’s death or Disability, his representative shall deliver) to
the Company all computer equipment or backup files of or relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries, all memoranda, correspondence, customer data, notes, plans, records, reports, manuals, photographs, computer tapes and software and other
documents and data (and copies thereof) relating to the Confidential Information, the Work Product or the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which he may then possess or have under his control. If the Company requests, the Executive
(or his representative) agrees to provide written confirmation that the Executive has returned all such materials to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries; and 
  
 (iv) That upon the Employment Termination or at any other time the Company may request, for whatever reason,
the Executive shall assign all rights, title and interest in the Confidential Information, the Work Product, all computer equipment or backup files of or relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, all memoranda, correspondence, customer
data, notes, plans, records, reports, manuals, photographs, computer tapes and software and other documents and data (and copies thereof) relating to the Confidential Information, the Work Product or the business of the Company or any of its

 (a) The Executive agrees that, during the time he is employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and
during any applicable Post-Termination Period (as herein defined) (the “Noncompete Period”), he shall not directly or indirectly own, operate, manage, control, participate in, consult with, advise, provide services for, or in any manner
engage in any business (including by himself or in association with any person, firm, corporate or other business organization or through any other entity) in competition with, or potential competition with, the businesses of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries as such businesses (the “Businesses”) exist during the Executive’s employment by the Company, within the United States or any other geographical area in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries engages or plans to
engage in the Businesses (the “Geographical Area”). Nothing herein shall prohibit the Executive from being a passive owner of not more than 2% of the outstanding stock of a corporation which is publicly traded, so long as the Executive has
no active participation in the business of such corporation. For purposes of this Section 5, “Post-Termination Period” means the twelve (12) month period beginning on the Termination Date.

Subsidiaries, (ii) hire any person who was an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at any time during the Executive’s employment period, or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, distributor, franchisee,

franchisee, licensee or business relation and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 
  
 (c) The Executive agrees that: (i) the covenants set forth in this Section 5 are reasonable in geographical and temporal scope and in all
other respects, (ii) the Company would not have entered into this Agreement but for the covenants of the Executive contained herein, and (iii) the covenants contained herein have been made in order to induce the Company to enter into this Agreement.

  
 (d) If, at the time of enforcement of this
Section 5, a court shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be
substituted for the stated duration, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by law. 
  
 (e) The Executive recognizes and affirms that in the event
of his breach of any provision of this Section 5, money damages would be inadequate and the Company 

 
would have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by the Executive of any of the
provisions of this Section 5, the Company, in addition and supplementary to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, may apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief
in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security).
