position as Vice President eCommerce/Direct Response with TRIA Beauty Inc. (the “Company”) reporting to Kevin Appelbaum, President & CEO. You will receive an annual salary of $210,000 ($8,076.92 per pay period), which will be
paid, less taxes and deductions, bi-weekly on Fridays, in accordance with the Company’s published pay date schedule. We anticipate your start of employment to be on or about March 28, 2011. 

As a full-time regular employee, you will also be eligible to participate in various Company fringe benefit plans, including Flexible Spending Plans,
medical, vision and dental insurance, a 401(k) retirement program with a Company match of the first 4% of employee contribution up to statutory limits as published by the IRS, three weeks paid vacation, and paid sick leave as defined by the
Company’s policy. Your participation will be subject to the terms of the applicable plan documents and generally applicable Company policies. 
 You will be eligible to participate in the Company’s management bonus plan, and the Company may in its discretion pay you a bonus of up to 35% (thirty-five percent) of your annual salary. The
management bonus plan is tied to specific annual targets determined by the Company at its discretion, the details of which will be explained to you during your first 90 (ninety) days of employment. Any bonus paid is disbursed annually, within two
and one half months following the close of the year for which the bonus is earned, and is paid at the absolute discretion of the Company. You must be employed through the date bonuses are disbursed to employees generally in order to be eligible for
the bonus. 
 Separately from this offer of employment and subject to Board approval, you will be granted an option to acquire 200,000 shares

terminated in conjunction with or within 12 months after the Company has been acquired (a “Change of Control”), other than for death, disability, voluntarily by you or for Cause (as defined below), then you shall become fully vested with
respect to all unvested shares subject to the Option. 
 You agree to relocate your residence to the San Francisco Bay area as soon as possible.

“Former Residence”) to the San Francisco Bay Area, provided that the Former Residence sale occurs within 9 months of your employment start date with the Company. If additional time is
needed to sell the Former Residence, an extension of up to 6 additional months will be granted by the Company if you document that you have made good faith efforts to sell the property in the preceding 9 months. Any such Loan shall be subject to,
and governed by, the terms and conditions of a loan agreement between you and the Company. The Loan shall bear 2.1 % interest, compounded annually, and shall be forgiven by the Company as to 25% of the Loan (principal and accrued interest) on
each of the first four (4) annual anniversaries of your employment start date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the then outstanding principal and interest shall be due and payable (a) immediately upon the voluntary termination of your
employment with the Company or your termination by the Company for Cause or (b) six (6) months following the involuntary termination of your employment by the Company without Cause (other than your involuntary termination that results from
the elimination of your position due to reorganization or cost-cutting efforts or winding down of operations, in which case the Loan shall be forgiven), subject to prior reduction against Severance Pay, as provided below. In the event that the
Company completes an initial public offering, the Loan shall be forgiven, provided you are an employee in good standing at that time. The Loan shall be full recourse and shall be secured by the shares underlying the option grant made to you
following commencement of your employment with the Company. 
 Your employment with the Company is “at will”; it is for no specified
term, and may be terminated by you or the Company at any time, with or without cause or advance notice. As a condition of your employment, you will be required to sign the Company’s standard form of employee nondisclosure and assignment
agreement, and to provide the Company with documents establishing your identity and right to work in the United States. Those documents must be provided to the Company within three days after your employment start date. 

In the event you are terminated other than for Cause, death or disability, the Company will pay you your then current base salary for a period of three
(3) months from the date of termination (“Severance Pay”); provided, however, that you must sign and return to the Company (and not revoke) a timely and effective release of claims in the form provided to you by the Company by the
deadline specified therein, which in all events shall be no later than the fifty-third (53rd) calendar day following the date of termination. Any Severance Pay to which you are entitled will be provided in the form of a lump sum payment, and
netted against any amounts you owe to the Company at the time of termination (such as amounts owing on the Loan). The payment will be made on the Company’s next regular pay-day which is at least five business days following the expiration of
sixty (60) calendar days from the date your employment terminates. 
 “Cause” shall be deemed to exist, in the reasonable
discretion of the Company, if you engage in the following: (a) theft, dishonesty, misconduct or falsification of the Company’s or its successor’s records or property; (b) unauthorized use or disclosure of the Company’s or
its successor’s confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets; (c) substantial negligence or misconduct; (d) failure to perform such assigned duties and responsibilities as shall be consistent with the duties and
responsibilities of an employee of the Company in a similar job position after receipt of a written notice of specific deficiencies and failure to cure any such deficiencies within fifteen days after the receipt of such notice; (e) a material
breach by you of any agreement between you and the Company, and such breach has not been cured by you within fifteen days after written notice of breach by the Company; (f) commission of a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude; or
(g) your failure to cooperate in good faith with a governmental investigation of the Company or its directors, officers or employees, if the Company has requested your cooperation.

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that at the time of your
termination of employment you are a “specified employee,” as defined below, any and all amounts payable in connection with termination of your employment that constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”), as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, and that would (but for this sentence) be payable within six months following the date of termination, shall instead be paid on the
next business day following the expiration of such six (6) month period; except (A) to the extent of amounts that do not constitute a deferral of compensation within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b) (including
without limitation by reason of the safe harbor set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), as determined by the Company in its reasonable good faith discretion); (B) benefits that qualify as excepted welfare benefits pursuant to Treasury
Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5); or (C) other amounts or benefits that are not subject to the requirements of Section 409A. For purposes of this Agreement, all references to “termination of employment” and correlative
phrases shall be construed to require a “separation from service”, as defined below. For purposes of this Agreement, “separation from service” shall be determined in a manner consistent with subsection (a)(2)(A)(i) of
Section 409A, and the term “specified employee” shall mean an individual determined by the Company to be a specified employee as defined in subsection (a)(2)(B)(i) of Section 409A. Each payment made under this Agreement shall be
treated as a separate payment, and the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement is to be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. Your right to reimbursement for business expenses hereunder shall be subject to the
following additional rules: (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during any calendar year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year, (ii) reimbursement shall be made not later than
December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred, and (iii) the right to reimbursement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. It is intended that all payments and
benefits under this Agreement comply with the requirements of, or the requirements for exemption from, Section 409A, but the Company shall not be liable to you by reason of any acceleration of income, or any additional tax, arising in
connection with any payment or benefit to so qualify. 
 In the event of any dispute or claim relating to or arising out of your employment
relationship with the Company, this agreement, or the termination of your employment with the Company for any reason (including, but not limited to, any claims of breach of contract, wrongful termination or age, sex, race, national origin,
disability or other discrimination or harassment), all such disputes shall be fully, finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration conducted by the American Arbitration Association in Alameda County, California. You and the Company hereby
waive your respective rights to have any such disputes or claims tried before a judge or jury. 
 This agreement and the non-disclosure
agreement referred to above constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the terms and conditions of your employment, and they supersede all prior negotiations, representations or agreements between you and the Company.

 The provisions of this agreement regarding “at will” employment and arbitration may only be modified by a document signed by you
and an authorized representative of the Company.

925.452.2598 FaxEmployment Agreement

 Exhibit 10.10 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 This Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) is
made effective as of July 4, 2008 (“Effective Date”), by and between TRIA Beauty, Inc. (“Company”) and Toby Island (“Employee”). 
 Employee has been employed by the Company (formerly known as SpectraGenics, Inc.) since January 10, 2003 as Executive Vice President (“Start Date”). This Employment Agreement affirms the
continuing employment relationship and sets forth other terms and conditions of Employee’s ongoing employment with the Company. 
 The parties agree as follows: 
 1. Employment. Company hereby employs
Employee, and Employee hereby affirms his continued employment upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. Employee’s employment with the Company commenced on the Start Date. 

2. Duties. 
 2.1 Position. Employee is employed as Executive Vice President Operations reporting to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and shall have the duties and responsibilities assigned both
upon initial hire and as may be reasonably assigned from time to time. Employee shall perform faithfully and diligently all duties assigned to Employee. 
 2.2 Full-time/Best Efforts. Employee will expend Employee’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. 
 3. At-Will Employment Relationship. Employee’s employment with
Company is at-will and not for any specified period and may be terminated at any time, with or without cause or advance notice, by either Employee or Company subject to the provisions regarding termination set forth below in section 8. No
representative of Company, other than the President and CEO, 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 Employee and the
Company’s President and CEO. 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
Employee’s performance of Employee’s duties hereunder, Company shall pay to Employee a Base Salary of $250,000 per year, payable in accordance with the normal payroll practices of Company, less required deductions for state and federal
withholding tax, social security and all other employment taxes and payroll deductions. In the event Employee’s employment under this Agreement is terminated by either party, for any reason, Employee will earn the Base Salary prorated to the
date of termination. 
 4.2 Performance-Based Compensation Bonus. Employee will be eligible to receive individualized
performance-based compensation (Bonus) and the criteria of such performance objectives to be defined by Employee and the CEO as well as the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Employee’s performance will be reviewed on an
on-going basis by the President/CEO over the course of his employment. Although there is no minimum guaranteed bonus, Employee can receive an annual total Bonus equal to 35% of Base Salary and such Bonus is contingent upon his achievement of the
agreed upon performance criteria (“Goals”). Employee’s efforts toward achievement of the Goals shall be evaluated on an annual basis. If a Bonus is earned, it will be paid during the second pay period in February for the prior
calendar year and the amount and payment of any such Bonus will be determined by Company in its sole and absolute discretion and any such payment shall be subject to applicable withholding. For the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending
on December 31, 2008, the Bonus, if earned, will be pro-rated. 

 4.3 Options. In addition to options previously granted to Employee, the Company
shall, subject to the approval of the Board at the next regularly scheduled Board meeting, grant to Employee two additional options. 
 (a) The first grant shall be an option to purchase 177,500 shares of common stock (the “Initial Grant”) under the Company’s stock option plan (the “2004 Stock Plan”). Subject to
Employee’s continued employment, the Initial Grant shall vest at the rate of 1/48th of the shares each month over a four year period beginning on July 4, 2008. 
 (b) The second grant shall be an option to purchase an additional 177,500 shares of Company common stock (the “Second Grant”). Subject to Employee’s continued employment, the Second Grant
shall vest in full seven (7) years from the date of grant; provided, however, that upon Employee’s achievement of certain milestones (to be mutually agreed upon by the Employee and the CEO, and subject to the approval of the Compensation
Committee of the Board), the vesting period for the Second Grant shall be accelerated for each achieved milestone at the rate of 1/24 of the shares each month allocated to such milestone. 

The exercise price of each option granted shall be determined by the Board at the time of grant, at a price per share that the Board
determines is not less than the fair market value of a share of the common stock of the Company as of the date of grant. 
 5.
Customary Fringe Benefits. Employee will be eligible for all customary and usual fringe benefits generally available to employees of Company subject to the terms and conditions of Company’s benefit plan documents and policies. Such
fringe benefits currently include, but are not limited to, medical, dental and vision plan coverage as well as a 401(k) plan. In addition, Employee shall be entitled to accrue three (3) weeks of paid vacation on an annual basis, subject to the
Company’s vacation policy. The Company reserves the right to change or eliminate the fringe benefits on a prospective basis, at any time, effective upon notice to Employee. 

6. Business Expenses. Employee will be reimbursed for all reasonable, out-of-pocket business expenses incurred in the performance
of Employee’s duties on behalf of Company. To obtain reimbursement, expenses must be submitted promptly with appropriate supporting documentation in accordance with Company’s policies. Any reimbursement Employee is entitled to receive
shall (a) be paid no later than the last day of Employee’s tax year following the tax year in which the expense was incurred, (b) not be affected by any other expenses that are eligible for reimbursement in any tax year and
(c) not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 
 7. No Conflict of Interest. During
Employee’s employment with Company, Employee 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 Employee’s employment with Company, as may be determined by Company in its sole discretion. If Company believes such a conflict exists, Company may ask Employee to choose to discontinue the other work or
resign (or be terminated from) employment with Company (which resignation or termination shall be considered for Cause, as set forth in Section 8.6, below).

 8. Termination of Employment. 

8.1 Death. If Employee’s employment with the Company terminates by reason of Employee’s death, the Company will pay to
Employee’s estate the amount of any unpaid Base Salary plus any unused, accrued vacation earned by Employee through the date of Employee’s death. 
 8.2 Disability. If the Company or Employee terminates Employee’s employment by reason of Employee’s disability, Employee shall be entitled to Base Salary plus any unused, accrued vacation
earned by Employee through the date of Employee’s termination. For purposes of this Agreement, disability shall mean the Employee’s failure to perform the essential functions of Employee’s position for 60 days, with or without
reasonable accommodation, due to a mental or physical disability. 
 8.3 Termination by the Company for Cause or Voluntary
Termination by Employee. If the Company terminates Employee’s employment for Cause (as defined in Section 8.6 below), or Employee voluntarily terminates Employee’s employment without “Good Reason” (as defined in
Section 8.8 below), then Employee shall be entitled only to Base Salary plus any unused, accrued vacation earned by Employee through the date of Employee’s termination. 

8.4 Termination by the Company Without Cause and by Employee for Good Reason or Within 12 Months Following a Change of Control. If
Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company Without Cause (as defined in Section 8.6 below) or by Employee for “Good Reason” (as defined in Section 8.7 below) either prior to, in conjunction with, or within twelve
months following a Change of Control (any being an “Involuntary Termination”) and Employee executes a full general release, releasing all claims, known or unknown, that Employee may have against Company and such release has become
effective in accordance with its terms prior to the 30th day following the effective date of the Involuntary Termination, then (a) the Company shall pay to Employee, in a lump sum payment or in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll
schedule at the election of the Company, commencing with the first payroll date occurring at least 30 days following such effective date, an amount equal to Employee’s then effective Base Salary for a period of six (6) months (the
“Severance Period”), offset by the value of any compensation earned by Employee, whether or not received, during the Severance Period; (b) if Employee is covered under the Company’s group health plan as of the Involuntary
Termination date and he timely elects to continue his group health coverage in accordance with applicable law (COBRA) and the terms of the Company’s group health plan, the Company shall reimburse Employee for the applicable COBRA premiums until
the earliest of: (i) the date that is 6 months following Employee’s Involuntary Termination date, (ii) the date that Employee is employed by another employer, (iii) the date the Company’s plan no longer is subject to COBRA,
or (iv) the date Employee is no longer eligible for COBRA; and (c) with regard to an involuntary termination following a change of control or within 12 months thereafter, Employee shall become fully vested with respect to all unvested
shares subject to the Initial Grant. 
 8.5 Definition of Cause. “Cause” shall be deemed to exist if Employee
engages in the following: (a) theft, dishonesty, misconduct or falsification of the Company’s or its successor’s records or property; (b) unauthorized use or disclosure of the Company’s or its successor’s confidential
or proprietary information or trade secrets; (c) gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of Employee’s duties to the Company; (d) failure to perform such assigned duties and responsibilities as shall be consistent
with the duties and responsibilities of an employee of the Company in a similar job position after receipt of a written notice of specific deficiencies and Employee has not cured any such deficiencies within fifteen days after the receipt of such
notice; (e) a material breach by Employee of any agreement between Employee and the Company, and such breach has not been cured by Employee within fifteen days after written notice of breach by the Company; (f) conviction (including plea
of no contest) for any felony or act of fraud; or (g) the failure by Employee to cooperate in good faith with a governmental investigation of the Company or its directors, officers or employees, if the Company has requested Employee’s
cooperation. 
 8.6 Definition of Without Cause. A termination of Employee’s employment shall be “Without
Cause” if the Company unilaterally terminates Employee’s employment with the Company for any reason other than Cause; provided, however, that termination of Employee’s employment shall not be “Without Cause” if it results
from the death or disability of Employee. 

  
 -3-

 8.7 Definition of “Good Reason”. “Good Reason” means (i) the
failure of the Company or applicable subsidiary to pay any wages, or provide any benefits due to Employee within five (5) days after written notice thereof from Employee; (ii) a material reduction in Employee’s salary from that as of
the Effective Date, other than as part of a salary reduction program among similar management employees; (iii) a material change in Employee’s responsibilities, duties, reporting relationships or authorities as an employee of the Company;
or (iv) a move of Employee’s principal place of work to a location more than fifty miles distant there from. 
 8.8
Definition of Change of Control. “Change of Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; (ii) sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company; (iii) the merger or consolidation of the Company by means of any transaction or series of related transactions, provided that the applicable transaction shall not be deemed a Change of Control unless the Company’s
stockholders constituted immediately prior to such transaction do not hold more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the surviving or acquiring entity immediately following such transaction; or (iv) any transaction or series of
related transactions to which the Company is a party in which in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Company’s voting power is transferred; provided that a Change of Control shall not include any transaction or series of related
transactions principally for bona fide equity financing purposes in which cash is received by the Company. 
 9. Application
of Section 409A. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, no amount payable
pursuant to this Agreement which constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations issued pursuant to Section 409A of the Code (the “Section 409A Regulations”) shall be paid unless and
until Employee has incurred a “separation from service” within the meaning of the Section 409A Regulations. Furthermore, to the extent that Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of the Section 409A
Regulations as of the date of Employee’s separation from service, no amount that constitutes a deferral of compensation which is payable on account of Employee’s separation from service shall paid to Employee before the date (the
“Delayed Payment Date”) which is first day of the seventh month after the date of Employee’s separation from service or, if earlier, the date of Employee’s death following such separation from service. All such amounts that
would, but for this Section, become payable prior to the Delayed Payment Date will be accumulated and paid on the Delayed Payment Date. 
 (b) The Company intends that income provided to Employee pursuant to this Agreement will not be subject to taxation under Section 409A of the Code. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
interpreted and construed in favor of satisfying any applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code. However, the Company does not guarantee any particular tax effect for income provided to Employee pursuant to this Agreement. In
any event, except for the Company’s responsibility to withhold applicable income and employment taxes from compensation paid or provided to Employee, the Company shall not be responsible for the payment of any applicable taxes on compensation
paid or provided to Employee pursuant to this Agreement. 
 10. Limitation on Payments. In the event that the severance
and other benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to Employee (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and
(ii) but for this Section, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then Employee’s severance benefits under this Agreement shall be payable either: (a) in full, or (b) as to such lesser amount
which would result in no portion of such severance benefits being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise
tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the receipt by Employee on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of severance benefits under this Agreement, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such severance benefits may be taxable under
Section 4999 of the Code. Unless the Company and Employee otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section shall be made in writing by independent public accountants (the “Accountants”)

  
 -4-

 
selected by the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Employee and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section, the
Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Employee shall
furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any
calculations contemplated by this Section. 
 11. Confidentiality and Proprietary Rights. Employee agrees to read, sign
and abide by Company’s Employee Nondisclosure and Assignment Agreement (“Confidentiality Agreement”), which is incorporated herein by reference. 
 12. Agreement to Arbitrate. In the event of any dispute or claim relating to or arising out of the employment relationship or the termination of that relationship (including, but not limited to,
any claims of wrongful termination or age, sex, race, disability or other discrimination), Employee and Company agree that all such disputes shall be fully and finally resolved by binding arbitration conducted before a single neutral arbitrator
pursuant to the rules for arbitration of employment disputes by the American Arbitration Association (available at www.adr.org) in Alameda County, California. The arbitrator shall permit adequate discovery and is empowered to award all
remedies otherwise available in a court of competent jurisdiction and 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 letter, Employee and the 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 attorney fees and all other costs, unless otherwise provided by law and awarded by the arbitrator. 
 13. General Provisions. 
 13.1 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. Employee shall not be entitled to assign any of Employee’s rights or obligations under this
Agreement. 
 13.2 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. 
 13.3 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. 
 13.4 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. 
 13.5 Interpretation; Construction. The headings set forth in this Agreement are for
convenience only and shall not be used in interpreting this Agreement. This Agreement has been drafted by legal counsel representing Company, but Employee has participated in the negotiation of its terms. Furthermore, Employee acknowledges that
Employee has had an opportunity to review and revise the Agreement and have it reviewed by legal counsel, if desired, and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party
shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement. 

  
 -5-

 13.6 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the United States and the State of California. Subject to the requirements of Section 12, above (binding arbitration), each party consents to the jurisdiction and venue of the state or federal courts in San Francisco,
California, if applicable, in any action, suit, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

shall be sent to the addresses set forth below, or such other address as either party may specify in writing. 
 13.8
Survival. Sections 8 (“Termination of Employment”), 11 (“Confidentiality and Proprietary Rights”), 12 (“Agreement to Arbitrate”), 13 (“General Provisions”), 9 (“Application of Section 409A),
11 (“Confidentiality and Proprietary Rights”), 12 (“Agreement to Arbitrate”), and 13 (“General Provisions”), of this Agreement shall survive Employee’s employment by Company. 

14. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Confidentiality Agreement incorporated herein by reference, the Company’s
2004 Stock Plan and related option documents described in section 4.3 of this Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties relating to this subject matter and supersedes all prior or simultaneous representations, discussions,
negotiations, and agreements, whether written or oral. This Agreement may be amended or modified only with the written consent of Employee and the President/CEO of Company. No oral waiver, amendment or modification will be effective under any
circumstances whatsoever. 
 THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HAVE READ THE FOREGOING AGREEMENT AND FULLY UNDERSTAND EACH AND EVERY PROVISION
CONTAINED HEREIN. WHEREFORE, THE PARTIES HAVE EXECUTED THIS AGREEMENT ON THE DATES SHOWN BELOW.
