Company with respect to confidentiality, non-competition or non-solicitation, including any act in preparation of any such breach or threatened breach. The good faith determination of the Board as to whether Cause exists for purposes of this

adverse respect with the Executive’s position, authority or responsibilities, as contemplated by Section 2 of this Employment Agreement, or any other material adverse change or significant reduction in position, titles, reporting lines,
authority or responsibilities, other than any such assignment, change, or reduction that is cured by the Company within 15 business days after receipt by the Company of written notice thereof given by the Executive; or (ii) the Company’s
material breach of this Employment Agreement and such breach (if correctable) is not materially corrected within 15 business days of receipt of written notice from the Executive. 
  
 5. Severance. 
  
 (a) Termination by the Company Without Cause. The Company shall pay the Executive the severance described in Section 5(c) if: (i)
the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause (as defined in Section 4); and (ii) the Executive subsequently executes (within the time frame specified by the Company) and does not revoke a fully enforceable release
substantially similar to the release attached as Exhibit A; provided, however, 

  

 4 

 
that the Company shall not be required to pay the Executive severance if the Company is terminating Executive’s employment after receiving notice that
the Executive intends to terminate the Executive’s employment. 
  
 (b) Termination By Executive for Good Reason. Notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 5(a) above, the Company shall pay the Executive the severance described in Section 5(c) if the Executive: (i) gives the
Board written notice that Executive intends to terminate his employment for Good Reason (as defined in Section 4) and indicates a termination date that is at least 15 days after the date such notice is given to the Board; (ii) terminates his
employment for Good Reason on the date indicated in said notice; and (iii) subsequently executes (within the time frame specified by the Company) and does not revoke a fully enforceable release substantially similar to the release attached as
Exhibit A; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay Executive severance under the terms of this Section 5(b) if the Company terminates Executive’s employment for Cause prior to the intended termination date designated in
Executive’s notice. 
  
 (c)
Severance. If the Company is required to pay the Executive severance by the express terms of Section 3(a) or 3(b) above, the Company shall: 
  

	 	(i)	Continue to pay the Executive his base monthly salary for the greater of six months or the remainder of the Initial Term or the Renewal Period, as applicable, (in either event the
“Severance Period”); and 

  

	 	(ii)	Reimburse the Executive for any health insurance premiums the Executive pays for: 

  

	 	(1)	COBRA continuation of coverage for Executive under the Company group health plan for as long as (and only for as long as) the Executive’s COBRA coverage continues under that
plan (but not to exceed nine months); and 

  

	 	(2)	any subsequent health insurance coverage for Executive, other than health coverage under another employer’s plan, for a number of months equal to nine months less the number of
months for which the Company reimbursed the Executive for COBRA coverage under the preceding clause (1); 

  
 provided, however, that the Company’s obligation to reimburse the Executive under the preceding clause (1) or (2) for any health insurance premiums
will cease if and when group health coverage under another employer’s plan of either the Executive or his spouse is made available to the Executive notwithstanding that the Executive may not in fact become covered under such other
employer’s plan. 
  
 All such payments to the Executive will be made in
accordance with the regular payroll practices of the Company. The Executive agrees that the Company shall not be obligated to pay the Executive severance or separation pay of any kind except as expressly required by Section 5(a) or 5(b) and as
expressly described in this Section 5(c). Furthermore, Executive shall be entitled 

  

 5 

 
to receive the severance payable under Section 5(c) only in the case of a termination of employment described in Section 5(a) or 5(b) and not in the event of
any other termination of employment, including, without limitation, a termination on account of Executive’s death or disability. To the extent Executive may be entitled to any severance or similar pay under any other Company plan, policy, or
practice, the severance payments provided under this Employment Agreement will be offset and reduced by the amount of such other severance or similar pay. 
  
 (d) Later Determined Cause. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Employment Agreement, if the Executive’s employment
with the Company is terminated such that the Executive is entitled to severance from the Company and the Company later determines that Cause existed at the time of or prior to such termination, Executive shall not be entitled to any severance from
the Company, and any and all severance payments from the Company to the Executive shall cease. 
  
 6. Miscellaneous. 
  
 (a) Withholding Tax. All payments required to be made by the Company to the Executive under this Employment Agreement shall be subject to the withholding of such amounts relating to tax (including federal and
state income tax and withholdings, employment tax and withholdings, and excise tax) and other payroll deductions as the Company may reasonably determine it should withhold pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. 
  
 (b) Waiver. Failure of the Company at any time to
enforce any provision of this Employment Agreement or to require performance by the Executive of any provisions hereof shall in no way affect the validity of this Employment Agreement or any part hereof or the right of the Company thereafter to
enforce its rights hereunder; nor shall it be taken to constitute a condonation or waiver by the Company of that default or any other or subsequent default or breach.

entity without advance written notice to the Company; provided, however, that nothing in this Employment Agreement shall preclude the Executive from devoting reasonable periods required for participating in professional, educational,
philanthropic, public interest, charitable, social or community activities so long as 

  

 1 

 
such activities do not interfere with the Executive’s duties hereunder or involve any manner of activity that is competitive with or adverse to the best

 2 

 
corporation’s then outstanding securities ordinarily having the right to vote at elections of directors; (iv) any person becomes after the Effective
Date the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding securities ordinarily having the right to

the Exchange Act, whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting requirements.

 3 

 
(ii) Executive materially violates the policies or procedures of the Company as such policies and procedures are adopted or modified from time to time, or

breach of Executive’s obligations to the Company with respect to confidentiality, non-competition or non-solicitation, including any act in preparation of any such breach or threatened breach. The good faith determination of the Board as to
whether Cause exists for purposes of this Employment Agreement shall be final and binding on all parties to this Employment Agreement absent manifest error. 
  
 (b) Termination by Executive With Good Reason. The Executive may terminate his employment at any time with “Good Reason.”
For purposes of this Employment Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following without the express written consent of the Executive: (i) the assignment to the Executive of any duties inconsistent in any material
adverse respect with the Executive’s position, authority or responsibilities, as contemplated by Section 2 of this Employment Agreement, or any other material adverse change or significant reduction in position, titles, reporting lines,
authority or responsibilities, other than any such assignment, change, or reduction that is cured by the Company within 15 business days after receipt by the Company of written notice thereof given by the Executive; or (ii) the Company’s
material breach of this Employment Agreement and such breach (if correctable) is not materially corrected within 15 business days of receipt of written notice from the Executive. 
  
 5. Severance. 
  
 (a) Termination by the Company Without Cause. The Company shall pay the Executive the severance described in Section 5(c) if: (i)
the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause (as defined in Section 4); and (ii) the Executive subsequently executes (within the time frame specified by the Company) and does not revoke a fully enforceable release
substantially similar to the release attached as Exhibit A; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay the Executive severance if the Company is terminating Executive’s employment after receiving notice that the
Executive intends to terminate the Executive’s employment. 
  
 (b) Termination By Executive for Good Reason. Notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 5(a) above, the Company shall pay the Executive the severance described in Section 5(c) if the Executive: (i) gives the
Board written notice that Executive intends to 

  

 4 

 
terminate his employment for Good Reason (as defined in Section 4) and indicates a termination date that is at least 15 days after the date such notice is
given to the Board; (ii) terminates his employment for Good Reason on the date indicated in said notice; and (iii) subsequently executes (within the time frame specified by the Company) and does not revoke a fully enforceable release substantially
similar to the release attached as Exhibit A; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay Executive severance under the terms of this Section 5(b) if the Company terminates Executive’s employment for Cause prior to the
intended termination date designated in Executive’s notice. 
  
 (c) Severance. If the Company is required to pay the Executive severance by the express terms of Section 3(a) or 3(b) above, the Company shall: 
  

	 	(i)	Continue to pay the Executive his base monthly salary for the greater of six months or the remainder of the Initial Term or the Renewal Period, as applicable, (in either event the
“Severance Period”); and 

  

	 	(ii)	Reimburse the Executive for any health insurance premiums the Executive pays for: 

  

	 	(1)	COBRA continuation of coverage for Executive under the Company group health plan for as long as (and only for as long as) the Executive’s COBRA coverage continues under that
plan (but not to exceed nine months); and 

  

	 	(2)	any subsequent health insurance coverage for Executive, other than health coverage under another employer’s plan, for a number of months equal to nine months less the number of
months for which the Company reimbursed the Executive for COBRA coverage under the preceding clause (1); 

  
 provided, however, that the Company’s obligation to reimburse the Executive under the preceding clause (1) or (2) for any health insurance premiums
will cease if and when group health coverage under another employer’s plan of either the Executive or his spouse is made available to the Executive notwithstanding that the Executive may not in fact become covered under such other
employer’s plan. 
  
 All such payments to the Executive will be made in
accordance with the regular payroll practices of the Company. The Executive agrees that the Company shall not be obligated to pay the Executive severance or separation pay of any kind except as expressly required by Section 5(a) or 5(b) and as
expressly described in this Section 5(c). Furthermore, Executive shall be entitled to receive the severance payable under Section 5(c) only in the case of a termination of employment described in Section 5(a) or 5(b) and not in the event of any
other termination of employment, including, without limitation, a termination on account of Executive’s death or disability. To the extent Executive may be entitled to any severance or similar pay under any other Company plan, policy, or
practice, the severance payments provided under this 

  

 5 

 
Employment Agreement will be offset and reduced by the amount of such other severance or similar pay. 
  
 (d) Later Determined Cause. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Employment Agreement, if the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated such that the Executive is entitled to severance from the Company and the Company later determines that Cause existed at the time of or prior
to such termination, Executive shall not be entitled to any severance from the Company, and any and all severance payments from the Company to the Executive shall cease. 
  
 6. Miscellaneous. 
  
 (a) Withholding Tax. All payments required to be made by the Company to the Executive under this Employment Agreement shall be
subject to the withholding of such amounts relating to tax (including federal and state income tax and withholdings, employment tax and withholdings, and excise tax) and other payroll deductions as the Company may reasonably determine it should
withhold pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. 
  
 (b) Waiver. Failure of the Company at any time to enforce any provision of this Employment Agreement or to require performance by the Executive of any provisions hereof shall in no way affect the validity of this Employment Agreement
or any part hereof or the right of the Company thereafter to enforce its rights hereunder; nor shall it be taken to constitute a condonation or waiver by the Company of that default or any other or subsequent default or breach.
