INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

     This Indemnification Agreement (the "Agreement") is made as of the date indicated below between ChromaDex Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), and the undersigned individual ("you"). In consideration of your continued service to the Company or one of its
subsidiaries, the Company hereby binds itself as follows (capitalized terms are generally defined in Exhibit A):

	
1.      		
Grant of Indemnification	
	 
	 	
1.1. Indemnification. If you become Involved in a Claim, the Company will	
	 

indemnify you, to the fullest extent permitted by law and as soon as practicable, against any and all Losses actually and reasonably incurred by you as a result of the Claim. Until the Claim is resolved, the Company will advance
to you any and all Expenses upon receipt by the Company of a written undertaking by you to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined that you were not entitled to be indemnified for such Claim under this Agreements.

     1.2. Enforcement. If a written demand by you for indemnity under this Agreement is not paid in full by the Company within sixty (60) days,
you may immediately commence arbitration against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of your claim, together with interest thereon. If you are successful in whole or in part, the Company will also pay all of your Expenses in prosecuting that
arbitration.

     1.3. Action by Company. Except following a Change of Control, the requirements for advancement of Expenses will not apply to a Claim brought
by the Company and approved by a majority of its Board of Directors.

     2. Change in Control. Following a Change of Control, the Company will advance all Expenses and indemnify you unless it receives a final court
determination or a written opinion from Independent Legal Counsel that indemnification of the Claim is not permissible. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of Independent Legal Counsel and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and
all expenses (including attorneys' fees), claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or such counsel's engagement pursuant hereto.

     3. Presumptions. In any proceeding to enforce this Agreement, the burden of proof will be on the Company to prove that you may not be
indemnified for any Claim under Delaware law. The termination of any claim, whether by judgment, order, settlement (with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contenders or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption
that you did not meet any particular standard of conduct or did have any particular belief or that a court determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law.

Furthermore, neither an unfavorable decision, nor the lack of any decision, by the Company's Board of Directors, any Committee of that Board, or any counsel to the Company regarding whether you met any particular standard of
conduct or had nay particular belief shall be a defense to your Claim or create a presumption that you have not met any particular standard of conduct or did not have any particular belief.

-1-

     4. Nonexclusivity. Your rights under this Agreement are in addition to any other rights you may have under the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation, Bylaws or Delaware law or otherwise. To the extent that a change in the Delaware law (whether by statute or judicial decision) permits greater indemnification by agreement than would be afforded currently under the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and this Agreement, this Agreement will be deemed to provide you with those greater benefits. To the extent the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing directors' and officers' liability
insurance, you will be covered by such policy or policies, in accordance with its or their terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any Company director or officer.

     5. No Duplication of Payments; Subrogation. The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any
Claim made against you to the extent you have otherwise actually received payment (under any insurance policy, Bylaw or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder. The Company shall be subrogated to all of your rights of recovery to
the extent of any payment made to you. You agree to execute all papers required and do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Company to effectively bring suit to
enforce such rights.

6. Selection of Counsel. In the event the Company shall be obligated under 

Section 1 hereof to advance any Expenses to you, the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of such proceeding, with counsel approved by you (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), upon the delivery to you of
written notice of its election so to do. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by you and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company shall not be liable to you under this Agreement for any fees of counsel
subsequently incurred by you with respect to the same proceeding, provided that, (i) you shall have the right to employ your counsel in any such proceeding at your expense, and (ii) the reasonable fees and expenses of your counsel shall be at the
expense of the Company if (A) the employment of your counsel has been previously authorized in writing by the Company, or (B) you shall have reasonably concluded and notified the Company in writing that there may be a conflict of interest between
either the Company and you in the conduct of any such defense or between you and other indemnitees of the Company being represented by counsel retained by the Company in the same proceeding. 

	
7.      		
General.	
	 
	 	
7.1. Binding Effect, Etc. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to	
	 

the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or
assets of the Company), assigns, spouses, heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives. This Agreement shall continue in effect regardless of whether you continue to serve as an officer or director of the Company or of any other
enterprise at the Company's request.

     7.2. Complete Agreement; Modifications. This Agreement and any documents referred to herein or executed contemporaneously herewith constitute
the parties' entire 

-2-

agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior indemnification agreements between the Company and you, and all other written and oral agreements, representations, warranties, statements, promises and
understanding, and all contemporaneous oral agreements, representations, warranties, statements, promises and understandings, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended, altered or modified except by a writing
signed by both parties.

	
7.3.      		
Disputes.	
	 
	 	
7.3.1. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. The rights and liabilities of the	
	 

parties will be governed by the laws of Delaware, regardless of the choice of law provisions of that state or any other jurisdiction.

     7.3.2. Arbitration as Exclusive Remedy. Except for actions seeking injunctive relief, which may be brought before any court having
jurisdiction, any claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including its validity, interpretation, enforceability or breach, whether based on breach of covenant, breach of an implied covenant or international infliction of emotional
distress or other tort or contract theories, which are not settled by agreement between the parties, shall be settled by arbitration in Orange County, California before a single arbitrator in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the
American Arbitration Association ("AAA") then in effect. The parties hereby agree to use their best efforts to keep all matters relating to any arbitration hereunder confidential. Each party
agrees that the arbitration provisions of this Agreement are its exclusive remedy and expressly waives any right to seek redress in another forum. Any arbitration shall be commenced within forty-five (45) days, and completed within ninety (90) days,
of the appointment of the arbitrators.

     7.4. Waivers Strictly Construed. With regard to any power, remedy or right provided herein or otherwise available to any party hereunder (i)
no waiver or extension of time shall be effective unless expressly contained in a writing signed by the waiving party; and (ii) no alteration, modification or impairment shall be implied by reason of any previous waiver, extension of time, delay or
omission in exercise, or by an other indulgence.

     7.5. Severability. The validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement will not be affected even if one or more of
the provisions of this Agreement will be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect.

California corporation

("Employer"), and WILLIAM F. SPENGLER ("Employee").

	
R E C I T A L S

     A. Employer desires to obtain the benefit of the services of Employee and Employee desires to render such services to Employer.

     B. Employer and Employee desire to set forth the terms and conditions of Employee's employment with Employer on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement.

	
A G R E E M E N T

     In consideration of the foregoing recitals and of the mutual covenants and conditions contained herein, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

     1. Term. Employer agrees to employ Employee, and Employee agrees to serve Employer, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, for a
term (the "Initial Term") beginning on November 15, 2010 (the "Effective Date") and continuing for a period of one year thereafter
unless earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof. Unless previously terminated pursuant to Section 7, below, this Agreement will automatically be renewed on the first anniversary of the Effective Date and on each one-year
anniversary thereafter (each, a "Renewal Date") for an additional term of one year commencing on such Renewal Date (each, a "Renewal Term" and together with the Initial Term, the "Term"), unless terminated by either party effective at the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term on not less than sixty (60)
days' prior written notice to the other. Any Renewal Term shall be subject to the termination provisions hereof. Upon the expiration of the Term, Employee's employment status shall be "at-will" without any continuing right to employment by
Employer.

	
2.      		
Employment of Employee.	
	 
	 	
(a) Specific Positions. Employer and Employee hereby agree that, subject to	
	 

the provisions of this Agreement, Employer will initially employ Employee and Employee will initially serve Employer as the President of Employer. Employee shall report to, and perform such usual and customary duties of such
office and as may be delegated to Employee from time to time by, the Chief Executive Officer of Employer (the "CEO"), including, without limitation, those specific duties set forth on
Exhibit A attached hereto, subject always to the policies as determined from time to time by Employer. 

     (b) Promotion of Employer's Business. During the Term, Employee shall not engage in any business competitive with Employer. Employee agrees
to devote his full business time, attention, knowledge, skill and energy to the business, affairs and interests of Employer and

matters related thereto, and shall use his best efforts and abilities to promote Employer's interests; provided, however, that Employee is not precluded from devoting reasonable periods of time required: (i) for serving as a director or committee member of any organization that does not compete with Employer or that does not involve a conflict of
interest with Employer; or (ii) for managing his personal investments; so long as in either case, such activities do not materially interfere with the regular performance of his duties under this Agreement.

     (c) Principal Office. Employee's principal office and normal place of work shall be at Employer's executive offices in Southern California.
Employee understands that he may be required on a regular basis to travel to Employer's other offices in Miami FL, Boulder CO or wherever else Employer may hereafter establish an office. Employer shall reimburse Employee pursuant to Section 6(b) for
all reasonable travel related expenses to any place of work other than Employer's executive offices in Southern California.

     3. Salary. Employer shall pay to Employee during the Term a base salary ("Base Salary") of $220,000 per year payable in accordance with Employer's normal payroll schedule. The Base Salary will be reviewed annually during the Term and may be increased (but not decreased) at Employer's sole discretion in accordance
with Employer's normal review process.

     4. Bonus. In addition to the Base Salary set forth in Section 3, above, and as further provided in this Section 4, Employee shall be eligible
to earn the following annual cash bonuses (each, an "Annual Bonus"), aggregating 100% of Base Salary, subject to the terms of this Section 4 and to Employee's remaining an employee of
Employer on the applicable payment date (whether or not the Term is then in effect):

	
(i)      		
an amount equal to 25% of the Base Salary in effect as of the last day of the fiscal year immediately preceding the applicable Company Bonus Measurement Period (as defined below) based on the achievement of pre-approved
performance targets with respect to Employer's business (the "Company Bonus Targets"). The term "Company Bonus Measurement Period"
means each fiscal year during the Term commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. Unless otherwise agreed by Employer and Employee, the Company Bonus Targets and related methodology (including any pre-approved prorations of the
Company Bonus Targets) for each Company Bonus Measurement Period shall be established by Employer's Compensation Committee, upon the recommendation of Employer's CEO, prior to the commencement of the Initial Term and any Renewal Term.	
	 
	 	
Any resulting bonus amount payable for the Company Bonus Targets shall be paid no later than the next March 31st following completion of the related Company Bonus Measurement Period; and	
	 
	
(ii)      		
(A) an amount equal to 37.5% of the Base Salary in effect as of the last day of the most recently completed fiscal year during the applicable Personal Bonus Measurement Period (as defined below) (the "Reference Salary") based on the achievement of a pre-approved personal objective (the "First Personal Bonus Target") and (B) an amount equal to
37.5% of the Reference Salary based on the achievement of a pre-approved second personal objective (the "Second Personal Bonus Target" and together with the First Personal Bonus Target, the
"Pre- Approved Personal Bonus Targets"). The Pre-Approved Personal Bonus Targets	
	 

2

	 	
shall be based on Employee's performance during each one-year period commencing on the Effective Date and each Renewal Date (each a "Personal Bonus Measurement Period").
Unless otherwise agreed by Employer and Employee, the Pre-Approved Personal Bonus Targets and related methodology (including any pre-approved prorations of the Pre-Approved Personal Bonus Targets) for each Personal Bonus Measurement Period shall be
established by Employer's Compensation Committee, upon the recommendation of Employer's CEO, prior to the commencement of the Initial Term and any Renewal Term. Any resulting bonus amounts payable for the Pre-Approved Personal Bonus Targets shall be
paid no later than the next March 31st following completion of the related Personal Bonus Measurement Period. For the purposes of clarity, in the event the First Personal Bonus Target was not achieved, but the Second Personal Bonus Target was
achieved, then Employee would be eligible to receive the applicable bonus for the Second Personal Bonus Target only.	
	 
	
5.      		
Incentive Compensation.	
	 
	 	
(a) Stock Options. Employer shall grant to Employee on the Effective Date,	
	 

(i) an option or options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Employer's common stock (the "First Option"), and (ii) an additional option to purchase up to 1,000,000 additional
shares of Employer's common stock (the "Second Option"). The First Option and the Second Option are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Options. " To the maximum extent possible, the First Option (or portion thereof) shall be an "incentive stock option" as such term is defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code").  The Options will be governed by a separate Stock Option Agreement and Employer's Second Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, as it may be amended through the date
of grant (as amended, the "Plan"). The exercise price of the Options will be equal to the fair market value of the common stock of Employer on the date of the grant, as determined by
Employer's Compensation Committee in a manner consistent with Sections 409A and 422 of the Code and the Plan. Each of the Options will vest as determined by Employer's Compensation Committee; provided, however, that the First Option shall vest as follows: 25% will vest on the first anniversary after the Effective Date and the remaining 75% will vest in 36 equal installments
commencing on the last day of the month following the month in which the first anniversary of the Effective Date occurs; and the Second Option shall vest based on the achievement of certain milestones established by Employer's Compensation
Committee, upon the recommendation of Employer's CEO. Employee shall be eligible for additional option grants at such times and in such amounts as the CEO may recommend and the Employer's Compensation Committee shall approve.

     (b) Restricted Stock. On the Effective Date, Employer shall sell to Employee and Employee shall purchase from Employer 1,000,000 restricted
shares of Employer's common stock (the "Restricted Stock").  The
Restricted Stock purchase will be effected pursuant to a separate Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement and will be subject to the Plan.  The purchase price for the Restricted Stock shall be the par value for such stock, which is $0.001 per share
(a total of $1,000 for 1,000,000 shares), payable in cash on the Effective Date.  The Restricted Stock will vest in full on November 15, 2013 (the "Restricted Stock Vesting
Date"), provided that Employee is continuously employed by Employer from the Effective Date through the Restricted Stock Vesting Date and the Stock Performance Condition (as defined below)
is met. The "Stock Performance Condition" is met if and only if at any time on or prior to the Restricted

3

Stock Vesting Date, the per share "Fair Market Value" of the common stock of Employer as determined in accordance
with this Section 5(b) is at least three (3) times the per share exercise price set by Employer's Compensation Committee for the Options pursuant to Section 5(a) above (the "Target
Price"), subject to any adjustments to such per share exercise price made in accordance with the terms of the Plan).  The term "Fair Market Value" shall mean (i) if the common stock of Employer is listed on an established stock exchange or a national market system, including without limitation the
Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board market, the Nasdaq Global Market or Nasdaq Global Select Market of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation ("Nasdaq") System, the average of the daily highest and the lowest trading prices for such stock averaged over all market trading days during the 30-day period prior to and
including the Restricted Stock Vesting Date, or (ii) if the common stock of Employer is not listed on an established stock exchange or national market system, shall be the fair market value as of the Restricted Stock Vesting Date as determined by
Employer's Board of Directors (the "Board") in good faith in accordance
with Code Section 409A and the applicable Treasury regulations. Except as provided in Section 5(c), the Restricted Stock will be cancelled and returned to Employer immediately upon Employee's
termination of employment with Employer prior to the Restricted Stock Vesting Date. Additionally, if Employee continues in employment with Employer through the Restricted Stock Vesting Date and the Stock Performance Condition is not met, the
Restricted Stock will be cancelled and returned to Employer immediately upon the Restricted Stock Vesting Date.

     (c) Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything in Section 5(a) or (b) to the contrary, if (i) a "Change in Control" (as such term is defined
in the Plan) occurs and (ii) within one (1) month prior to the date of such Change in Control or thirteen (13) months after the date of such Change in Control Employee's Continuous Service (as such term is defined in the Plan) terminates due to an
involuntary termination (not including death or Disability (as such term is defined in the Plan)) without Cause or Employee terminates for Good Reason (the date that both clause (i) and (ii) have been satisfied being referred to as the
"Trigger Date"), then (1) the vesting and exercisability of all remaining Options held by Employee shall be accelerated in full as of the Trigger Date and (2), in the event the Trigger Date
occurs prior to the Restricted Stock Vesting Date, the Restricted Stock will vest in full as of the Trigger Date without regard to the Stock Performance Condition. 

	
6.      		
Benefits.	
	 
	 	
(a) Welfare and Retirement Benefits. During Employee's employment by	
	 

Employer under this Agreement, Employee shall be eligible for participation in and shall be covered by any and all such medical, dental, life and other voluntary insurance plans, retirement and profit sharing plans and such other
similar benefits generally available to other employees of Employer in similar employment positions, on the same terms as such employees, subject to meeting applicable eligibility requirements. Employee shall also be covered by long-term disability
insurance, to the extent that such insurance is available to Employer on commercially reasonable terms and conditions, such that, upon a termination of Employee by Employer under Section 7(c) as a result of a disability, Employee shall be entitled
to receive disability insurance coverage in an amount and for a duration at least equal to that made generally available to officers of Employer under Employer's long-term disability insurance in effect as of the date of this Agreement.

Reimbursements. During Employee's employment with Employer under 
	

this Agreement, Employee shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement of all reasonable expenses incurred by Employee in performing services hereunder, including all expenses of travel at the request of, or in the service of,
Employer provided that such expenses are incurred and accounted for in accordance with the policies and procedures established by Employer.

     (d) Relocation Expense Reimbursements.  In connection with Employee's initial relocation to Southern California and commencement of
employment with Employer, Employer shall reimburse Employee for reasonable and documented expenses incurred by Employee up to an aggregate reimbursed amount of $25,000 for (i) moving personal belongings and (ii) for termination costs relating to

Termination.	
	 
	 	
(a) Termination for Cause. Employer shall have the right, exercisable	
	 

immediately upon written notice, to terminate Employee's employment for "Cause."

     (i) Definition of Cause. As used herein, "Cause" means any of the following: (A)
Employee is convicted by a court of competent jurisdiction of, or pleads "no contest" to, a felony or any other crime involving moral turpitude (other than minor traffic violations); (B) Employee engages in fraud, embezzlement or any other illegal
conduct substantially detrimental to the business or reputation of Employer, regardless of whether such conduct is designed to defraud Employer or others; (C) Employee imparts confidential information relating to Employer or its business to
competitors or to other third parties other than in the course of carrying out Employee's duties; (D) Employee refuses to perform his duties hereunder or otherwise breaches any material covenant, warranty or representation of this Agreement, or
Employee's Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality Agreement with Employer, and fails to cure such breach (if such breach is then capable of being cured) within 10 business days following written notice thereof specifying in reasonable detail the nature
of such breach, or if such breach is not capable of being cured in such time, a cure shall not have been diligently initiated within such 10 business day period, (E) violation of any rules, policies or procedures of Employer, as documented in
Employer's then current Human Resources Standards manual, associate guidebook or other written or electronically published company policies; (F) Employee's willful failure to follow any lawful directive of the Board; and (G) any action on the part
of Employee which discredits or disparages Employer or its reputation.

     (ii) Effect of Termination. Upon termination in accordance with this Section 7(a), Employee shall be entitled to no further payments from
Employer under this Agreement, except for the payments, of cash and in-kind, provided for under Sections 3 and 6 of this Agreement accrued hereunder through the effective date of such termination. Employer's

5

exercise of its right to terminate for Cause shall be without prejudice to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law, in equity or under this Agreement. 

     (b) Voluntary Termination. Employee may terminate his employment at any time by giving no less than 30 days' written notice to Employer.
Employer reserves the right to accept Employee's voluntary termination immediately, without notice and without any further payment obligation except as described below.

     (i) No Reason. Upon termination in accordance with this Section 7(b), except as otherwise provided in Section 7(b)(ii), below, Employee shall
be entitled to no further payments from Employer under this Agreement, except for the payments, of cash and in-kind, provided for under Sections 3 and 6 of this Agreement accrued hereunder through the effective date of such termination.

     (ii) Good Reason. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7(b)(i), above, if Employee terminates his employment under this
Section 7(b) for Good Reason (as defined below), Employee shall be entitled to receive from Employer all of the compensation and benefits provided for in Section 7(e), below. As used herein, "Good Reason" means any of the following: (A) the assignment to Employee of duties materially inconsistent with those of other employees of Employer in similar employment positions, and Employee provides written notice to Employer within 60 days of
such assignment that such duties are materially inconsistent with those duties of such similarly-situated employees, and Employer fails to release Employee from his obligation to perform such inconsistent duties and to re-assign Employee to his
customary duties within 30 days after Employer's receipt of such notice; or (B) a failure by Employer to comply with any other material provision of this Agreement which has not been cured within 60 days after notice of such failure has been given
by Employee to Employer, which notice has been given by Employee to Employer no later than 60 days after the initial existence of such failure, or if such failure is not capable of being cured in such time, a cure shall not have been diligently
initiated by Employer within such 60 day period.

     (c) Termination Due to Death or Disability. This Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the death of Employee. In addition, if any
disability or incapacity of Employee to perform his duties as the result of any injury, sickness or physical, mental or emotional condition continues for a period of 70 consecutive days or a total of 70 days in any 90-day period, Employer may
terminate Employee's employment upon written notice to Employee. Upon termination in accordance with this Section 7(c), Employee (or Employee's estate, as the case may be) shall be entitled to those payments, of cash and in-kind, provided for under
Sections 3 through 6, inclusive, of this Agreement accrued hereunder through the date of death or, in the case of disability, the date of termination. Notwithstanding any policy of Employer to the contrary, any Annual Bonus that would be due to
Employee for the fiscal year in which termination pursuant to this Section 7(c) occurs will be prorated to Employee (or Employee's estate, as the case may be) at the time Employee would have received such bonus had he remained an employee of
Employer. During such time that Employee is unable to perform his duties as a result of any injury, sickness or physical, mental or emotional condition, Employer, at its option, may reduce the Base Salary by the amount, if any, of the disability
insurance or similar benefits for which Employee receives as a result of such injury, sickness or physical, mental or emotional condition. Such reductions to the Base Salary, if any, shall be limited to benefits actually received by Employee
(including any withholding taxes paid on Employee's

6

behalf) from disability insurance plans paid for by Employer or from state or federal government mandated disability plans. The Base Salary shall not be reduced by any disability insurance benefits received by Employee, if any,
from plans purchased by Employee.

     (d) Termination Upon Cessation of Business. Employer shall have the right to immediately terminate Employee's employment under this Agreement
upon a "Cessation of Business. " For purposes of this Agreement, a "Cessation of Business" shall mean Employer's ceasing to operate in the ordinary course of business, whether by
dissolution, liquidation, sale of assets, consolidation, merger or otherwise, in connection with, pursuant to or arising out of a good faith determination by Employer that the continuing operation of the business in its ordinary course is reasonably
likely to render Employer unable to meet its liabilities as they mature. If Employee is so terminated by Employer pursuant to this Section 7(d) during the Term, Employer shall pay Employee the Base Salary until the expiration of twelve months from
the date of termination. Employer shall make such payments of the Base Salary in a single lump sum payment at termination.

     (e) Termination without Cause. Employer shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice, to terminate Employee's employment under this
Agreement for any reason other than set forth in Sections 7(a), (c) and (d), above, at any time during the Term. If Employee is so terminated by Employer pursuant to this Section 7(e) during the Term, Employer shall pay Employee two weeks of Base
Salary for each full year of service to a maximum of eight (8) weeks of the Base Salary. Should Employee, at Employee's sole and exclusive option, provide Employer, no later than two (2) weeks prior to the end of the salary continuation benefits
specified in the preceding sentence, with Employer's then standard form of separation, waiver and release agreement of all claims against Employer, then Employer agrees to (i) extend the period during which Employer shall pay to Employee the Base
Salary, and (ii) reimburse Employee for the cost of the same medical, dental, long-term disability and life insurance pursuant to Section 6(a) to which Employee was entitled hereunder as of the date of termination provided, however, that in the case
of such medical and dental insurance, that Employee makes a timely election for, and continues to qualify for, continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, in each case (i.e., the Base Salary
and insurance), until the expiration of twelve months from the date of termination. Employer shall make such payments in accordance with its regular payroll schedule. In addition, if Employee is so terminated by Employer pursuant to this Section
7(e) during the Term and prior to the Restricted Stock Vesting Date, then vesting of the Restricted Stock shall be accelerated as follows: (i) if the date of termination is on or after November 15, 2011, but before November 15, 2012, the Restricted
Stock shall be 33 1/3% vested if the Stock Performance Condition would have been met if determined on such termination date (rather than the Restricted Stock Vesting Date) replacing "three (3) times the per share exercise price" with "one and
two-thirds (1 2/3) times the per share exercise price" in the definition of "Stock Performance Condition"; and (ii) if the date of termination is on or after November 15, 2012, but before the Restricted Stock Vesting Date, the Restricted Stock shall
be 66 2/3% vested if the Stock Performance Condition would have been met if determined on such termination date (rather than the Restricted Stock Vesting Date) replacing "three (3) times the per share exercise price" with "two and one-third (2 1/3)]
times the per share exercise price" in the definition of "Stock Performance Condition."

     (f) Adjustment for Stock Split or Reverse Stock Split in Connection with Termination Without Cause.  If prior to any termination permitted by
Section 7(e) Employer

7

effects a stock split or reverse stock split (either, a "Split") and at the end of the 30-day period following the
effective date of the Split (the "Split Measurement Period") the "FMV Split Price" is lower than the price that on the effective date of the Split would have been the multiple or fraction, as the case may be, of the price of the common stock
of Employer immediately prior to the Split that is the intended multiple or fraction to be accomplished by the Split (the "Intended Split Price"), then, solely for purposes of determining pursuant to Section 7(e) (and not pursuant to Section 5(b)) whether the Stock Performance Condition has been met, the Stock Performance Condition shall be
adjusted upward to the lower of (i) the Intended Split Price if the FMV Split Price is higher than or equal to twenty-five percent below the Intended Split Price and (ii) the price that is twenty-five percent (25%) below the Intended Split Price if
the FMV Split Price is lower than twenty-five percent (25%) below the Intended Split Price. The term "FMV Split Price shall mean (i) if the common stock of
Employer is listed on an established stock exchange or a national market system, including without limitation the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board market, the Nasdaq Global Market or Nasdaq Global Select Market of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation ("Nasdaq") System, the average of the daily highest and the lowest trading prices
for such stock averaged over all market trading days during the Split Measurement Period, or (ii) if the common stock of Employer is not listed on an established stock exchange or national market system, shall be the fair market value as of the
close of business on the last day of the Split Measurement Period as determined by the Board in good faith in accordance with Code Section 409A and the applicable Treasury regulations. 

     (g) Termination Due to Change of Control. If (i) a Change of Control occurs and (ii) within one month prior to the date of such Change in
Control or 13 months after the date of such Change in Control Employee's employment relationship is terminated by the Company other than for Cause, in addition to the benefits provided for in Section 6(c), above, Employee shall be entitled to
receive the compensation provided for in the first two sentences of Section 7(e), above.

     (h) Exclusive Remedy. The payments contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute Employee's exclusive and sole remedy for any claim that
Employee might otherwise have against Employer under this Agreement which, but for Employee's termination of employment hereunder, might otherwise be due and payable by Employer to Employee. Employee covenants not to assert or pursue any such
remedies, other than an action to enforce the payments due to Employee under this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 7(f), however, shall be construed to bar, preclude or otherwise limit Employee's right to bring an action against Employer if
Employee's termination of employment with Employer was otherwise unlawful or in violation of public policy.

	
8.      		
Miscellaneous.	
	 
	 	
(a) Withholdings. All payments to Employee hereunder shall be made after	
	 

reduction for all federal, state and local withholding and payroll taxes, all as determined under applicable law and regulations, and Employer shall make all reports and similar filings required by such law and regulations with
respect to such payments, withholdings and taxes.

     (b) Succession. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon Employer, its successors and assigns. The obligations

     (c) Notices. Any and all notices, demands, requests or other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given when
personally delivered to or transmitted by overnight express delivery or by facsimile to and received by the party to whom such notice is intended (provided the original thereof is sent by mail, in the manner set forth below, on the next business day
after the facsimile transmission is sent), or in lieu of such personal delivery or overnight express delivery or facsimile transmission, on receipt when deposited in the United States mail, first-class, certified or registered, postage prepaid,

change to the other parties in the manner which is provided in this Section 8(c).

     (d) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, along with Employee's Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality Agreement referenced herein and incorporated
herein by reference, contains the entire agreement of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and it replaces and supersedes any other prior agreements, whether oral or written, between the parties relating to said subject
matter.

     (e) Headings. The headings of Sections herein are used for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or contents hereof.

     (f) Waiver; Amendment. No provision hereof may be waived except by a written agreement signed by the waiving party. The waiver of any term or
of any condition of this Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute the waiver of any other term or condition. This Agreement may be amended only by a written agreement signed by the parties hereto.

     (g) Severability. If any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held unenforceable by the final determination of a court of competent
jurisdiction and all appeals therefrom shall have failed or the time for such appeals shall have expired, such provision or provisions shall be deemed eliminated from this Agreement but the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be given full
effect. In the event this Agreement or any portion hereof is more restrictive than permitted by the law of the jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought, this Agreement or such portion shall be limited in that jurisdiction only to the extent
required by the law of that jurisdiction.

     (h) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

     (i) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which
shall constitute the same Agreement.

     (j) Application of Section 409A - Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, solely to the extent that such delay is
required in order to avoid the imposition of

9

an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, if Employee is a "specified employee" for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code, any payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement that are considered to be non-qualified
deferred compensation distributable in connection with Employee's separation from service with Employer for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, and which otherwise would have been payable at any time during the six-month period immediately
following Employee's separation from service with Employer, shall not be paid prior to, and shall instead be payable in a lump sum within ten (10) business days following the end of such six-month period. Each payment of Base Salary, Annual Bonus or
other compensation under this Agreement, including, without limitation, each payment to be made following termination of employment, shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. If any payment that is to be made
as a lump sum upon a Cessation of Business under Section 7(d) is considered to be non-qualified deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, then such payment shall be made as a lump sum payment of all obligations remaining under
this Agreement (rather than continuing to be paid in installments on previously scheduled payment dates) only if one or more of the following conditions are satisfied: (A) the Cessation of Business includes the corporate dissolution of the Employer
taxable under Section 331 of the Code and the lump sum payment is made and taxable to Employee within 12 months following the corporate dissolution, or (B) the payment of the lump sum is approved by a bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section
503(b)(1)(A), or (C) the Cessation of Business constitutes a "change in control event" as defined for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, the lump sum payment is made within the 30 days preceding or 12 months following such change in control
event, and all deferred compensation agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements sponsored by the Employer or its successor immediately after the change in control event with respect to each individual that experienced the change in
control event are similarly terminated and liquidated, or (D) any other event or condition has occurred or exists that allows for the acceleration of such payment without resulting in the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A of the
Code. The parties agree that in the event the Internal Revenue Service issues additional guidance to the effect that any of the payments provided for in this Agreement would not be in compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the parties will
negotiate in good faith to address such guidance so that such payments are compliant with Section 409A of the Code to the extent reasonably practicable.
