 3. Severance. 

(a) If Executive has a Separation from Service as a result of Executive’s discharge by the Company without Cause
or by reason of Executive’s resignation for Good Reason, in either case within eighteen (18) months following a Change in Control, Executive shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of any severance benefits to which Executive may otherwise

the effective date of Executive’s Release, but in no event later than two and one-half (2 1/2) months following the last day of the calendar year in which the date of Executive’s Separation from Service occurs: 
 (i) The Company shall pay to Executive his or her fully earned but unpaid base salary, when due, through the date of Executive’s Separation from Service at the rate then in effect, plus all other the
benefits, if any, under any Company group retirement plan, nonqualified deferred compensation plan, equity award plan or agreement (other than any such plan or agreement pertaining to Stock Awards whose treatment is prescribed by
Section 3(a)(iii) below), health benefits plan or other Company group benefit plan to which Executive may be entitled pursuant to the terms of such plans or agreements at the time of Executive’s Separation from Service; 

(ii) Subject to Section 3(c) and Executive’s continued compliance with Section 4, Executive shall be entitled to receive
severance pay in an amount equal to two hundred and seventy-five percent (275%) multiplied by Executive’s annual base salary as in effect immediately prior to the date of Executive’s Separation from Service; 

(iii) Subject to Section 3(c) and Executive’s continued compliance with

  
 3 

 
Section 4, for the period beginning on the date of Executive’s Separation from Service and ending on the date which is eighteen (18) full months following the date of
Executive’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date on which the applicable continuation period under COBRA expires), the Company shall arrange to provide Executive and his or her eligible dependents who were covered under the
Company’s health insurance plans as of the date of Executive’s Separation from Service with health (including medical and dental) insurance benefits substantially similar to those provided to Executive and his dependents immediately prior
to the date of such Separation from Service. If the Company is not reasonably able to continue health insurance benefits coverage under the Company’s insurance plans, the Company shall provide substantially equivalent coverage under other
third-party insurance sources. If any of the Company’s health benefits are self-funded as of the date of Executive’s Separation from Service, instead of providing continued health insurance benefits as set forth above, the Company shall
instead pay to Executive an amount equal to eighteen (18) multiplied by the monthly premium Executive would be required to pay for continuation coverage pursuant to the COBRA for Executive and his or her eligible dependents who were covered
under the Company’s health plans as of the date of Executive’s Separation from Service (calculated by reference to the premium as of the date of Separation from Service); 

(iv) Subject to Section 3(c) and Executive’s continued compliance with Section 4, the vesting and/or exercisability of
each of Executive’s outstanding Stock Awards shall be accelerated in full effective as of the date of Executive’s Separation from Service. Nothing in this Section 3(a)(iv) shall be construed to limit any more favorable vesting
applicable to Executive’s Stock Awards in the Company’s equity plan(s) and/or the stock award agreements under which the Stock Awards were granted. The foregoing provisions are hereby deemed to be a part of each Stock Award and to
supersede any less favorable provision in any agreement or plan regarding such Stock Award; 
 (v) In the event that
(A) Executive’s Separation from Service occurs in connection with or following a separation of the Company’s Imaging & Optics business (the “I&O Business”) from the other businesses of the Company
through an initial public offering, merger or other sale transaction, spin-off or a split-off of the I&O Business, or a combination of some or all of these transactions (collectively, a “Separation Event”), and
(B) in connection with or following such Separation Event, Executive is offered employment with the entity continuing the I&O Business, or any parent or subsidiary thereof, then (1) Executive shall not be entitled to any payments or
benefits under this Section 3(a) as a result of such Separation from Service, regardless of the circumstances of such Separation from Service, (2) any such Separation from Service shall be treated in the same manner as a termination of
Executive’s employment under Section 3(b) below for purposes of determining the Company’s financial or further obligations to Executive upon such termination of employment, and (3) this Agreement shall terminate upon
Executive’s Separation from Service; and 
 (vi) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
any severance benefits payable to Executive under this Agreement shall be reduced by any severance benefits payable by the Company or an affiliate of the Company to such individual under any other policy, plan, program, agreement or arrangement,
including, without limitation, any severance agreement between such individual and any entity. 
 (b) Other Terminations.
If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason prior to a Change in Control or more than eighteen (18) months following a Change in Control, or at any time by the Company for Cause, by
Executive without Good Reason, or as a result of Executive’s death or Permanent Disability, the Company shall not have any other or further obligations to Executive under this Agreement (including any financial obligations) except that
Executive shall be entitled to receive (i) Executive’s fully earned but unpaid base salary, through the date of termination at the rate then in effect, and (ii) all other amounts or benefits to which Executive is entitled under any
compensation, retirement or benefit plan or practice of the Company at the time of termination in accordance with the terms of such plans or practices, including, without limitation, 

  
 4 

 
any continuation of benefits required by COBRA or applicable law. In addition, all vesting of Executive’s unvested Stock Awards previously granted to him by the Company shall cease and none
of such unvested Stock Awards shall be exercisable following the date of such termination. The foregoing shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any and all other rights and remedies which may be available to the Company under the
circumstances, whether at law or in equity. 
 (c) Release. As a condition to Executive’s receipt of any
post-termination benefits pursuant to Section 3(a) above, Executive shall execute and not revoke a general release of all claims in favor of the Company (the “Release”) in the form substantially similar to that attached
hereto as Exhibit A (and any applicable revocation period applicable to such Release shall have expired) within the sixty (60) day period following the date of Executive’s Separation from Service. 

(d) Exclusive Remedy. Except as otherwise expressly required by law (e.g., COBRA) or as specifically provided herein, all of
Executive’s rights to salary, severance, benefits, bonuses and other amounts hereunder (if any) accruing after the termination of Executive’s employment shall cease upon such termination. In the event of a termination of Executive’s
employment with the Company, Executive’s sole remedy shall be to receive the payments and benefits described in this Section 3. 
 (e) No Mitigation. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3(a)(iii) above, Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 3 by seeking
other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Section 3 be reduced by any compensation earned by Executive as the result of employment by another employer or self-employment or by retirement
benefits; provided, however, that loans, advances or other amounts owed by Executive to the Company may be offset by the Company against amounts payable to Executive under this Section 3. 

(f) Return of the Company’s Property. If Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason, the Company shall have the
right, at its option, to require Executive to vacate his or her offices prior to or on the effective date of termination and to cease all activities on the Company’s behalf. Upon the termination of his or her employment in any manner, as a
condition to Executive’s receipt of any post-termination benefits described in this Agreement, Executive shall immediately surrender to the Company all lists, books and records of, or in connection with, the Company’s business, and all
other property belonging to the Company, it being distinctly understood that all such lists, books and records, and other documents, are the property of the Company. Executive shall deliver to the Company a signed statement certifying compliance
with this Section 3(g) prior to the receipt of any post-termination benefits described in this Agreement. 
 (g) Best
Pay Provision. 
 (i) If any payment or benefit Executive would receive under this Agreement, when combined with any
other payment or benefit Executive receives pursuant to the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company (“Payment”), would (A) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of
Section 280G of the Code, and (B) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall be either (1) the full amount of such
Payment or (2) such lesser amount (with cash payments being reduced before stock option compensation) as would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the
applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax, results in Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be
subject to the Excise Tax. 

  
 5 

 (ii) All determinations required to be made under this Section 3(g), including
whether and to what extent the Payments shall be reduced and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by the nationally recognized certified public accounting firm used by the Company immediately prior to the
effective date of the Change in Control or, if such firm declines to serve, such other nationally recognized certified public accounting firm as may be designated by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting
Firm shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to Executive and the Company at such time as is requested by the Company. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any determination by the
Accounting Firm shall be binding upon Executive and the Company. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 3(g), the Accounting Firm 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. 
 4.
Confidentiality and Proprietary Rights. Executive and the Company have executed the Company’s Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B and incorporated
herein by reference. The Company shall be entitled to cease all severance payments and benefits to Executive in the event of his or his or her material breach of this Section 4. 

5. Agreement to Arbitrate. Any dispute, claim or controversy based on, arising out of or relating to
Executive’s employment or this Agreement shall be settled by final and binding arbitration in San Jose, California, before a single neutral arbitrator in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes (the
“Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Arbitration may be compelled pursuant to
the California Arbitration Act (Code of Civil Procedure §§ 1280 et seq.). If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator, one shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with its Rules. Each party shall pay the fees of its
own attorneys, the expenses of its witnesses and all other expenses connected with presenting its case; provided, however, Executive and the Company agree that, to the extent permitted by law, the arbitrator may, in his or her
discretion, award reasonable attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party; provided, further, that the prevailing party shall be reimbursed for such fees, costs and expenses within forty-five (45) days following any such award,
but in no event later than the last day of the Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the fees, costs and expenses were incurred; provided, further that the parties’ obligations pursuant to this sentence
shall terminate on the tenth (10th) anniversary of
the date of Executive’s termination of employment. Other costs of the arbitration, including the cost of any record or transcripts of the arbitration, AAA’s administrative fees, the fee of the arbitrator, and all other fees and costs,
shall be borne by the Company. This Section 5 is intended to be the exclusive method for resolving any and all claims by the parties against each other for payment of damages under this Agreement or relating to Executive’s employment;
provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor the submission to arbitration shall limit the parties’ right to seek provisional relief, including without limitation injunctive relief, in any court of competent jurisdiction
pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure § 1281.8 or any similar statute of an applicable jurisdiction. Seeking any such relief shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such party’s right to compel arbitration. Both Executive and the
Company expressly waive their right to a jury trial. 
 6. At-Will Employment Relationship. Executive’s employment
with the 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 Executive or the Company. Any change to the at-will employment relationship must be by specific,
written agreement signed by Executive and an authorized representative of the Company. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or should be construed to contradict, modify or alter this at-will relationship.

 7. General Provisions. 

7.1 Successors and Assigns. The rights of the Company under this Agreement may, without the consent of Executive, be assigned by
the Company, in its sole and unfettered discretion, to any person, firm, corporation or other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase, merger or otherwise, directly or indirectly, acquires all or substantially all of the assets or
business of the Company. The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company expressly to assume and to agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place; provided, however, that no such assumption shall relieve the Company of its obligations
hereunder; provided, further, that the failure of any such successor to so assume this Agreement shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the “Company” shall mean the
Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise. Executive shall not be entitled to assign any of Executive’s
rights or obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.

 7.2 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. 
 7.3 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 the Company, but Executive has participated in the negotiation of its terms. Furthermore, Executive acknowledges that Executive 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. 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. 
 7.4 Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of California applicable to contracts made and to be performed wholly within such State, and without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. Any suit brought hereon shall be
brought in the state or federal courts sitting in Santa Clara County, California, the Parties hereby waiving any claim or defense that such forum is not convenient or proper. Each party hereby agrees that any such court shall have in personam
jurisdiction over it and consents to service of process in any manner authorized by California law. 
 7.5 Notices. Any
notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered as follows with notice deemed given as indicated: (a) by personal delivery when delivered personally; (b) by overnight courier upon written
verification of receipt; (c) by telecopy or facsimile transmission upon acknowledgment of receipt of electronic transmission; or (d) by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, upon verification of receipt. Notice shall be
sent to Executive at the address set forth below and to the Company at its principal place of business, or such other address as either party may specify in writing. 
 7.6 Survival. Sections 1 (“Definitions”), 3 (“Severance”), 4 (“Confidentiality and Proprietary Rights”), 5 (“Agreement to Arbitrate”) and 7 (“General
Provisions”) of this Agreement shall survive termination of Executive’s employment by the Company. 

  
 7 

 7.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Company Confidentiality and Proprietary
Rights Agreement incorporated herein by reference together constitute the entire agreement between the parties in respect of the subject matter contained herein and therein and supersede all prior or simultaneous representations, discussions,
negotiations, and agreements, whether written or oral, including, without limitation, the offer letter executed by the Company and Executive in connection with Executive’s commencement of employment with the Company. This Agreement may be
amended or modified only with the written consent of Executive and an authorized representative of the Company. No oral waiver, amendment or modification will be effective under any circumstances whatsoever. 

7.8 Code Section 409A Exempt. 
 (a) This Agreement is not intended to provide for any deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, and, accordingly, the severance payments payable under Section 7(d) shall be
paid no later than the later of: (i) the fifteenth
(15th) day of the third month following
Executive’s first taxable year in which such severance benefit is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, and (ii) the fifteenth (15th) day of the third month following first taxable year of the Company in which such severance benefit is no longer
subject to substantial risk of forfeiture, as determined in accordance with Code Section 409A and any Treasury Regulations and other guidance issued thereunder. To the extent applicable, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with
Code Section 409A and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder. 
 (b) If the
Executive is a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code), as determined by the Company in accordance with Section 409A of the Code, on the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service, to the extent
that the payments or benefits under this Agreement are subject to Section 409A of the Code and the delayed payment or distribution of all or any portion of such amounts to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement is required in order to
avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then such portion deferred pursuant to this Section 7.8(b) shall be paid or distributed to Executive in a lump sum on the earlier of (i) the date that is six
(6)-months following Executive’s Separation from Service, (ii) the date of Executive’s death or (iii) the earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A of the Code. Any remaining payments due under the Agreement shall be
paid as otherwise provided herein. 
 7.9 Consultation with Legal and Financial Advisors. By executing this
Agreement, Executive acknowledges that this Agreement confers significant legal rights, and may also involve the waiver of rights under other agreements; that the Company has encouraged Executive to consult with Executive’s personal legal and
financial advisors; and that Executive has had adequate time to consult with Executive’s advisors before executing this Agreement. 
 7.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(b) EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE OR SHE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF AND IS FAMILIAR WITH THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542,
WHICH PROVIDES AS FOLLOWS: 
 “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT
TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” 

BEING AWARE OF SAID CODE SECTION, EXECUTIVE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS HE OR SHE MAY HAVE THEREUNDER, AS WELL AS UNDER ANY OTHER
STATUTES OR COMMON LAW PRINCIPLES OF SIMILAR EFFECT. 
 (c) Executive acknowledges that this Release was presented to him or her
on the date indicated above and that Executive is entitled to have twenty-one (21) days’ time in which to consider it. Executive further acknowledges that the Company has advised him or her that he or she is waiving his or her rights under
the ADEA, and that Executive should consult with an attorney of his or her choice before signing this Release, and Executive has had sufficient time to consider the terms of this Release. Executive represents and acknowledges that if Executive
executes this Release before twenty-one (21) days have elapsed, Executive does so knowingly, voluntarily, and upon the advice and with the approval of Executive’s legal counsel (if any), and that Executive voluntarily waives any remaining
consideration period. 
 (d) Executive understands that after executing this Release, Executive has the right to revoke it
within seven (7) days after his or her execution of it. Executive understands that this Release will not become effective and enforceable unless the seven (7) day revocation period passes and

Executive does not revoke the Release in writing. Executive understands that this Release may not be revoked after the seven (7) day revocation period has passed. Executive also understands
that any revocation of this Release must be made in writing and delivered to the Company at its principal place of business within the seven (7) day period.

effective on or before the date that is sixty (60) days following the date of Executive’s termination of employment. 

2. No Assignment. Executive represents and warrants to the Company Releasees that there has been no assignment or other transfer
of any interest in any Claim that Executive may have against the Company Releasees. Executive agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company Releasees from any liability, claims, demands, damages, costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred
as a result of any such assignment or transfer from Executive. 
 3. Severability. In the event any provision of this
Release 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.

are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Release. Either party’s failure to enforce any provision of this Release 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 Release.

Venue. This Release will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States of America and the State of California applicable to contracts made and to be performed wholly within such State, and without regard to the

simultaneous representations, discussions, negotiations and agreements, whether written or oral. This Release may be amended or modified only with the written consent of Executive and an authorized representative of the Company. No oral waiver,
amendment or modification will be effective under any circumstances whatsoever.

 EXHIBIT B 
 COMPANY EMPLOYEE PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND INVENTIONS 

AGREEMENT 
 [Attached] 

 TESSERA, INC. 

EMPLOYMENT, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, 
 INVENTION ASSIGNMENT AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT 
 As a condition of my
employment with Tessera, Inc., a Delaware corporation, its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors or assigns (together the “Company”), and in consideration of the compensation now and hereafter paid to me by Company, the undersigned hereby
agree as follows: 
 1. AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT. I UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MY EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY IS FOR AN
UNSPECIFIED DURATION AND CONSTITUTES “AT-WILL” EMPLOYMENT. I ALSO UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNAUTHORIZED AND NOT VALID UNLESS OBTAINED IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE COMPANY UPON
DUE AUTHORIZATION FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY. I FURTHER UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MY EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY MAY BE TERMINATED AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT GOOD CAUSE OR FOR ANY OR NO CAUSE, AT THE OPTION EITHER OF THE
COMPANY OR MYSELF, WITH OR WITHOUT NOTICE. 
 2. Confidential Information. 

(a) Company Information. I hereby agree at all times during the term of my employment with the Company and thereafter, to hold in
strictest confidence and not to use, except for the benefit of the Company, or to disclose to any person, firm or corporation any Confidential Information of the Company without either (i) written authorization of an Officer of the Company, or
(ii) a fully signed Confidential Disclosure Agreement or other similar document with the recipient. I understand that “Confidential Information” means any Company proprietary information, technical data, trade secrets or know-how,
including, without limitation, research, product plans, products, services, customer lists and customers (including, without limitation, customers of the Company on whom I called or with whom I became acquainted during the term of my employment with
the Company), markets, software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing, finances or other business information 1) disclosed to me by the Company
either directly or indirectly in writing, orally or by drawings or observation of parts or equipment or 2) developed by me in the course of my employment with the Company. I further understand that “Confidential Information” does not
include any of the foregoing items which has become publicly known and made generally available through no wrongful act of mine or of others who were under confidentiality obligations with respect to the item or items involved. 

(b) Former Employer Information. I hereby agree that I will not, during my employment with the Company, improperly use or disclose
any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former or concurrent employer or other person or entity for whom I have worked in the past, for whom I am now working or for whom I may work during the term of my employment with the Company, and
that I will not bring onto the premises of the Company any unpublished 

 
document or proprietary information belonging to any such employer, person or entity unless consented to in writing by such employer, person or entity. 

(c) Third Party Information. I recognize that the Company has received, and in the future will receive, from third parties their
confidential or proprietary information subject to a duty of the Company to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. I hereby agree to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in
the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person, firm or corporation or to use it except as necessary in carrying out my work for the Company consistent with the Company’s agreements or other arrangements with any such third
parties. 
 3. Inventions. 
 (a) Inventions Retained and Licensed. I have listed and described on Exhibit A all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, improvements, and trade secrets which were made by
me prior to my employment with the Company that belong to me, that relate to the Company’s proposed business, products or research and development, and that are not assigned to the Company hereunder (collectively referred to herein as
“Prior Inventions”); if there are no such Prior Inventions I have so stated on Exhibit A and signed and dated it. If in the course of my employment with the Company, I incorporate into a Company product, process or machine a Prior
Invention or an invention in which I have an interest, the Company is hereby granted and shall have a nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, world-wide license to make, have made, modify, use and sell such Prior Invention as part of or
in connection with such product, process or machine to the extent that I have the right to grant such a license. 
 (b)
Assignment of Inventions. I hereby agree that I will promptly make full written disclosure to the Company, will hold in trust for the sole right and benefit of the Company, and hereby assign to the Company, or its designee, all of my right,
title, and interest in and to any and all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, concepts, improvements, designs, discoveries, ideas, trademarks or trade secrets, whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar
laws, which I may solely or jointly conceive or develop or reduce to practice, or cause to be conceived or developed or reduced to practice, during the period of time I am in the employ of the Company (collectively referred to herein as
“Inventions”), except as otherwise provided by applicable law. I further acknowledge that all original works of authorship which are made by me (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of and during the period of my employment with
the Company and which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act. I understand and agree that the decision whether or not to commercialize or market any invention
developed by me solely or jointly with others is within the Company’s sole discretion and for the Company’s sole benefit and that no royalty will be due to me as a result of the Company’s efforts to commercialize or market any such
invention. 
 (c) Inventions Assigned to the United States. I hereby agree to assign to the United States government all
of my right, title, and interest in and to any and all Inventions whenever such full title is required to be in the United States by a contract between the Company and the United States or any of its agencies. 

 (d) Maintenance of Records. I hereby agree to keep and maintain adequate and current
written records of all Inventions made by me (solely or jointly with others) during the term of my employment with the Company. The records will be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings and any other format that may be specified by the Company.
The records will be available to and remain the sole property of the Company at all times. 
 (e) Patent and Copyright
Registrations. I hereby agree to assist the Company, or its designee, at the Company’s expense, in every proper way to secure the Company’s rights in the Inventions and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual
property rights relating thereto in any and all countries, including the disclosure to the Company of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments and all other
instruments which the Company shall deem necessary in order to apply for and obtain such rights and in order to assign and convey to the Company, its successors, assigns, and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title and interest in and to such
Inventions, and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto. I further agree that my obligation to execute or cause to be executed, when it is in my power to do so, any such instrument or papers
shall continue after the termination of this Agreement. If the Company is unable because of my mental or physical incapacity or for any other reason to secure my signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign
patents or copyright registrations covering Inventions or original works of authorship assigned to the Company as above, then I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney
in fact, to act for and in my behalf and stead to execute and file any such applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of letters patent or copyright registrations thereon with the same legal
force and effect as if executed by me. 
 (f) Exception to Assignments. I understand that the provisions of this Agreement
requiring assignment of Inventions to the Company do not apply to any invention which qualifies fully under the provisions of California Labor Code Section 2870 as follows: 

“(a) Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any
of his or her rights in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information
except for those inventions that either: 
  

	 	(1)	Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or
development of the employer; or 

  

	 	(2)	Result from any work performed by the employee for the employer. 

  

	 	(b)	To the extent a provision in an employment agreement purports to require an employee to assign an invention otherwise excluded from being required to be assigned under
subdivision (a), the provision is against the public policy of this state and is unenforceable.” 

 I will advise the Company promptly in writing of any inventions that I believe meet the criteria in
California Labor Code Section 2870 and not otherwise disclosed on Exhibit A. 
 4. Conflicting Employment. I
hereby agree that, during the term of my employment with the Company, I will not engage in any other employment, occupation, consulting or other business activity directly related to the business in which the Company is now involved or may become
involved during the term of my employment with the Company, nor will I engage in any other activities that conflict with my obligations to the Company. 
 5. Company Property. I understand and agree that Company provided computers, e-mail accounts, voice mail systems, offices, cubicles, labs, cabinets, desks, telephones, cellular phones, pagers,
refrigerators and other appliances, lockers, and other office, lab or production tools are the property of the Company. I understand and agree that any files, e-mail messages or attachments, voice mail messages, documents or any other data sent to
me or created by me during the performance of my employee duties with the Company and/or using Company tools or equipment, are owned by the Company. I understand that the Company’s email, voice mail, and telephone systems are solely for
business use and that messages left on, recorded on, or transmitted over such systems are not confidential. I further agree that the Company may access and monitor all such items at any time without notice to me and/or in my absence, regardless of
whether I have been assigned a key, access card, access code, or password to such item. I also agree that upon leaving the Company I will promptly deliver to the Company or its successors or assigns, (and will not keep in my possession, maintain
copies, recreate or deliver to anyone else) any and all Company property, including but not limited to, keys, access cards, access codes and passwords, devices, records, data, notes reports, proposals, lists, correspondence, specifications,
drawings, blueprints, sketches, materials, equipment, and other documents or property of any aforementioned items developed by me pursuant to my employment with the Company or otherwise belonging to the Company, or its successors or assigns.

 6. Notification of New Employer. In the event that I leave the employ of the Company, I hereby consent to notification
by the Company to my new employer about my rights and obligations under this Agreement. 
 7. Solicitation of Employees.
I hereby agree that for a period of twenty-four (24) months immediately following the termination of my relationship with the Company for any reason, whether with or without cause, I shall not either directly or indirectly solicit, induce,
recruit or encourage any of the Company’s employees to leave their employment, or take away such employees, or attempt to solicit, induce, recruit, encourage or take away employees of the Company, either for myself or for any other person or
entity. 
 8. Conflict of Interest Guidelines. I hereby agree to diligently adhere to the Company’s conflict of
interest guidelines attached hereto as Exhibit B. 
 9. Representations. I hereby agree to execute any proper oath
or verify any proper document required to carry out the terms of this Agreement. I hereby represent that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information acquired by me in
confidence or in trust prior to my employment by the Company. I have not entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, any oral or written agreement in conflict herewith. 

 10. ARBITRATION. 

(a) EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 10 HEREOF, I AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR CONCERNING MY
EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY OR ANY INTERPRETATION, CONSTRUCTION, PERFORMANCE OR BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE SETTLED BY ARBITRATION. THE DECISION OF THE ARBITRATOR SHALL BE FINAL, CONCLUSIVE AND BINDING ON THE PARTIES TO THE ARBITRATION. THIS
AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE IS GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 ET. SEQ. 
 (b) CLAIMS MAY BE BROUGHT
BEFORE AN ADMINISTRATIVE AGENCY BUT ONLY TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW PERMITS ACCESS TO SUCH AN AGENCY NOTWITHSTANDING THE EXISTENCE OF AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE. SUCH ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIMS INCLUDE WITHOUT LIMITATION CLAIMS OR CHARGES BROUGHT
BEFORE THE EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION (WWW.EEOC.GOV), THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR (WWW.DOL.GOV), AND THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD (WWW.NLRB.GOV). NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE OR
EXCUSE A PARTY FROM BRINGING AN ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIM BEFORE ANY AGENCY IN ORDER TO FULFILL THE PARTY’S OBLIGATION TO EXHAUST ADMINISTRATIVE REMEDIES BEFORE MAKING A CLAIM IN ARBITRATION. 

(c) THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF EACH PARTY’S RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND RELATES TO THE RESOLUTION OF ALL DISPUTES
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ALL ASPECTS OF THE EMPLOYER/EMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIP (EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 10 HEREOF), INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOLLOWING CLAIMS: 

(i) ANY AND ALL CLAIMS IN TORT OR CONTRACT OR UNDER THE COMMON LAW; 

(ii) ANY AND ALL CLAIMS FOR VIOLATION OF ANY FEDERAL, STATE OR MUNICIPAL STATUTE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TITLE VII OF THE CIVIL
RIGHTS ACT OF 1964, THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1991, THE AGE DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT ACT OF 1967, THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT OF 1990, THE FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT AND STATE STATUTES ADDRESSING THE SAME OR SIMILAR SUBJECT MATTERS
(INCLUDING STATUTES AND REGULATIONS RELATING TO EMPLOYEE CLASSIFICATION, COMPENSATION AND MEAL AND REST PERIODS); AND 
 (iii)
ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF ANY OTHER LAWS AND REGULATIONS RELATING TO EMPLOYMENT OR EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION OR HARASSMENT. 
 (d) I UNDERSTAND THAT EACH PARTY’S PROMISE TO RESOLVE CLAIMS BY ARBITRATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS 

 
AGREEMENT, RATHER THAN THROUGH THE COURTS, IS CONSIDERATION FOR OTHER PARTY’S LIKE PROMISE. 
 (e) IN ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT CIVIL DISCOVERY, BRING MOTIONS, AND PRESENT WITNESSES AND EVIDENCE AS PROVIDED BY THE FORUM STATE’S PROCEDURAL RULES. HOWEVER, THERE
WILL BE NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT, HEARD OR ARBITRATED AS A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE ACTION. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER CLAUSE CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PRECEDING SENTENCE SHALL NOT BE SEVERABLE FROM THIS AGREEMENT IN
ANY CASE IN WHICH THE DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED IS BROUGHT AS A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE ACTION. 
 (f) A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR SHALL
BE SELECTED BY MUTUAL AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES. THE LOCATION OF THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDING SHALL BE IN THE GENERAL GEOGRAPHICAL VICINITY OF THE PLACE WHERE THE EMPLOYEE LAST WORKED FOR THE COMPANY, UNLESS EACH PARTY TO THE ARBITRATION AGREES IN
WRITING OTHERWISE. IF FOR ANY REASON THE PARTIES CANNOT AGREE TO AN ARBITRATOR, EITHER PARTY MAY APPLY TO A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION FOR APPOINTMENT OF A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR. THE COURT SHALL THEN APPOINT AN ARBITRATOR, WHO SHALL ACT UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT WITH THE SAME FORCE AND EFFECT AS IF THE PARTIES HAD SELECTED THE ARBITRATOR BY MUTUAL AGREEMENT. 
 (g) A DEMAND FOR
ARBITRATION MUST BE IN WRITING AND DELIVERED BY HAND OR FIRST CLASS MAIL TO THE OTHER PARTY WITHIN THE APPLICABLE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS PERIOD. ANY DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION MADE TO THE COMPANY SHALL BE PROVIDED TO THE COMPANY’S LEGAL DEPARTMENT,
TESSERA, INC., 3025 ORCHARD PARKWAY, SAN JOSE, CA 95134. THE ARBITRATOR SHALL RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES REGARDING THE TIMELINESS OR PROPRIETY OF THE DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION. 
 (h) EACH PARTY WILL PAY THE FEES FOR HIS, HER OR ITS OWN ATTORNEYS, SUBJECT TO ANY REMEDIES TO WHICH THAT PARTY MAY LATER BE ENTITLED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. HOWEVER, IN ALL CASES WHERE REQUIRED BY LAW, THE
COMPANY WILL PAY THE ARBITRATOR’S AND ARBITRATION FEES. IF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW THE COMPANY IS NOT REQUIRED TO PAY ALL OF THE ARBITRATOR’S AND/OR ARBITRATION FEES, SUCH FEE(S) WILL BE APPORTIONED BETWEEN THE PARTIES BY THE ARBITRATOR IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SAID APPLICABLE LAW. 
 (i) WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE CLOSE OF THE ARBITRATION HEARING, ANY PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT
TO PREPARE, SERVE ON THE OTHER PARTY AND FILE WITH THE ARBITRATOR A BRIEF. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD ANY PARTY ANY REMEDY TO WHICH THAT PARTY IS ENTITLED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, BUT SUCH REMEDIES SHALL BE LIMITED TO THOSE THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE
TO A PARTY IN A COURT OF LAW FOR THE CLAIMS PRESENTED TO AND DECIDED BY THE ARBITRATOR. THE ARBITRATOR WILL ISSUE A DECISION OR AWARD IN WRITING, STATING THE ESSENTIAL FINDINGS OF FACT AND 

 
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW. JUDGMENT MAY BE ENTERED ON THE ARBITRATOR’S AWARD IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION. 
 (j) YOU MAY SUBMIT A FORM STATING THAT YOU WISH TO OPT OUT AND NOT BE SUBJECT TO THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 10. TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION, YOU MUST SUBMIT A SIGNED AND DATED
STATEMENT ON AN “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT OPT OUT” FORM (“FORM”) THAT CAN BE OBTAINED FROM THE COMPANY’S HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT. IN ORDER TO BE EFFECTIVE, THE SIGNED AND DATED FORM MUST BE RETURNED TO THE HUMAN RESOURCES
DEPARTMENT WITHIN 30 DAYS OF YOUR SIGNING OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU CHOOSE TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION, YOU WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY ADVERSE EMPLOYMENT ACTION AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THAT DECISION AND YOU MAY PURSUE ANY OTHER LEGAL REMEDY AVAILABLE TO
YOU. SHOULD YOU NOT OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 10(j), YOUR CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT CONSTITUTES MUTUAL ACCEPTANCE OF YOUR AND THE COMPANY’S OBLIGATION TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES COVERED BY THIS SECTION 10. 

11. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California, except Section 10, above, which
shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq. 
 12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement
sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and me relating to the subject matter herein and merges all prior discussions between us. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under
this agreement will be effective unless in writing signed by the party to be charged. Any subsequent change or changes in my duties, salary or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement. 

13. Severability. If any covenant set forth in this Agreement is determined by any court to be unenforceable by reason of its
extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographic area, or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, such covenant shall be interpreted to extend only for the longest period of time and over the greatest
geographic area, and to otherwise have the broadest application as shall be enforceable. Except as provided in Section 10(e), above, the invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of this Agreement shall not affect the other
provisions hereof, which shall continue in full force and effect. Without limiting the foregoing, the covenants contained herein shall be construed as separate covenants, covering their respective subject matters, with respect to each of the
separate cities, counties and states of the United States, and each other country, and political subdivision thereof, in which the Company now transacts any business. 
 15. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives and will be for the benefit of the Company, its successors, and
its assigns. 
 16. Consultation with Counsel. You have a right to consult with counsel of your choice before signing
this Agreement.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST GUIDELINES 
 TESSERA, INC. 
 It is the policy of Tessera, Inc. (the “Company”)
to conduct its affairs in strict compliance with the letter and spirit of the law and to adhere to the highest principles of business ethics. Accordingly, all officers, employees and independent contractors must avoid activities which are in

Company and written approval for continuation must be obtained. 
 (a) Revealing confidential information to outsiders or
misusing confidential information. Unauthorized divulging of information is a violation of this policy whether or not for personal gain and whether or not harm to the Company is intended. (The Employment, Confidential Information, Invention
Assignment and Arbitration Agreement elaborates on this principle and is a binding agreement.) 
 (b) Accepting or offering
substantial gifts, excessive entertainment, favors or payments which may be deemed to constitute undue influence or otherwise be improper or embarrassing to the Company. 
 (c) Participating in civic or professional organizations that might involve divulging confidential information of the Company. 
 (d) Initiating or approving personnel actions affecting reward or punishment of employees or applicants where there is a family relationship or is or appears to be a personal or social involvement.

 (e) Initiating or approving any form of personal or social harassment of employees. 

(f) Investing or holding outside directorship in suppliers, customers, or competing companies, including financial speculations, where
such investment or directorship might influence in any manner a decision or course of action of the Company. 
 (g) Borrowing
from or lending to employees, customers or suppliers. 
 (h) Acquiring real estate of interest to the Company. 

(i) Improperly using or disclosing to the Company any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former or concurrent employer or
other person or entity with whom obligations of confidentiality exist. 

 (j) Unlawfully discussing prices, costs, customers, sales or markets with competing
companies or their employees. 
 (k) Making any unlawful agreement with distributors with respect to prices. 

(l) Improperly using or authorizing the use of any inventions which are the subject of patent claims of any other person or entity.

 (m) Engaging in any conduct which is not in the best interest of the Company. 

Each officer, employee and independent contractor must take every necessary action to ensure compliance with these guidelines and to
bring problem areas to the attention of the Company’s management for its review. Violations of this conflict of interest policy may result in discharge without warning.Employment Agreement with David Bernick
