Change in Control Severance Agreement

 Exhibit 10.35 
 CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT 
 This Change in Control Severance Agreement
is entered into, and is effective as of the 18th day of January 2012 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Alion Science and Technology Corporation (the “Company”) and Thomas E. McCabe (the “Executive”) under the
following terms and conditions: 
 Article 1. Change in Control Employment Termination and Severance 

1.1. (a) Without Cause. During a Potential Change in Control Protection Period or within the period ending twenty-four
(24) calendar months immediately following a Change in Control as specified in Article 5 below, the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment for reasons other than Cause, by notifying the Executive in writing of the Company’s
intent to terminate with the effective date of termination specified by the Company in the written notice. Upon the effective date of termination under this Article 1.1, if the Executive timely signs a General Release and does not revoke or violate
such General Release, the Company shall be obligated to pay to the Executive (subject to all appropriate federal and state withholding taxes): 
 (i) A lump-sum cash payment equal to one (1) times the Executive’s Base Salary at the rate in effect immediately prior to the termination. 

(ii) A lump-sum cash payment equal to one (1) times the Executive’s actual bonus for the last complete fiscal year prior to the
effective date of termination, if any. 
 (iii) Base Salary and all other benefits due the Executive through the effective date
of termination. 
 (iv) The unpaid bonus, if any, with respect to the last complete fiscal year preceding the effective date of
termination (such bonus, if any, to be determined in the manner it would have been determined and payable at the time it would have been payable hereunder had there been no termination of the Employment Period). 

(v) To the extent that the Executive is eligible for and elects to receive medical and/or dental benefits pursuant to the provisions of
the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) for himself and/or any qualifying beneficiaries, the Company shall pay on the Executive’s behalf, or reimburse the Executive for, the amount of the applicable COBRA that
exceeds the amount of premium payable by the Executive for the same level of coverage immediately prior to the effective date of termination. Any such COBRA premium payment by the Company that constitutes taxable income to the Executive shall be
grossed up by the Company, assuming an applicable income tax rate of forty percent (40%). Payments under this paragraph shall cease at the earlier of (i) the end of the first month in which the Executive is no longer eligible for COBRA for any
reason (other than death or eligibility for Medicare, provided that COBRA coverage continues for any qualified beneficiary), or (ii) eighteen (18) months after the Executive’s date of termination. The Executive shall notify the
Company as soon as practicable after he ceases to be eligible for COBRA coverage due to coverage under the group health plan of another employer. 
 (vi) All other rights and benefits that the Executive is vested in, pursuant to other plans and programs of the Company. 
 1.2. General Release. As a condition precedent to receiving any of the payments and benefits set forth in Article 1.1 above, upon the effective date of termination under Article 1.1(a) above,
the Executive (or his estate as the case may be) agrees to execute and return to the Company, and shall not revoke or attempt to revoke, a general release (a “General Release”) in a form acceptable to the Company, within thirty
(30) days following the effective date of termination, that (i) releases the Company and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents from any and all claims that the Executive may have in connection with his employment or
termination thereof, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, and (ii) the Executive affirmatively agrees not to violate the provisions of Article 2.  

  
 1 

 1.3. Termination for Cause. In the event that the Executive is terminated for Cause, the Executive
will not be entitled to any severance or other benefits upon termination other than those accrued benefits provided to employees pursuant to existing Company policy. “Cause” means: 

(a) The Executive’s commission of a felony of or a crime involving moral turpitude; or 

(b) The Executive committing an act constituting fraud, deceit, or material misrepresentation with respect to the Company; or 

(c) In the Company’s reasonable discretion, the Executive committing any negligent or willful act or omission that causes material
damage (by reason, without limitation, of financial exposure or loss, damage to reputation or goodwill, or exposure to civil or criminal penalties or other prosecutorial action by any governmental authority) to the Company or any parent or
subsidiary corporation thereof; or 
 (d) Willful or material violation of any provision of the Company’s Code of Ethics,
Conduct and Responsibility; or 
 (e) Willful and material misstatement knowingly made or caused to be made by the Executive in
any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission; or 
 (f) Willful or material violation of any of the covenants
contained in Article 2, as applicable. 
 For purposes of this Article 1.3, no act or omission by the Executive shall be considered
“willful” unless it is done or omitted in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any act or failure to act based upon: (a) authority given pursuant
to a resolution duly adopted by the Board; or (b) advice of counsel for the Company, shall be conclusively presumed to be done or omitted to be done by the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. 

The effective date of termination shall be the date specified by the Company. If this Agreement is terminated for Cause, the Company shall be obligated
to pay the Executive’s Base Salary through the effective date of termination, and the Executive shall immediately thereafter forfeit all rights and benefits (other than vested benefits) the Executive would otherwise have been entitled to
receive under this Agreement. 
 1.4. Severance Payment Schedule. Payments due to the Executive or, if applicable, the Executive’s
estate, pursuant to termination events described in this Article 1, shall be paid in two (2) installments as follows: (a) an amount equal to six months of annual salary set forth in Article 1.1(a)(i) and one-half of the total bonus amount
set forth in Article 1.1(a)(ii) (the “Severance Installment Payment”), and the amounts set forth in Article 1.1(a)(iii) and (iv), within thirty (30) days after the expiration of any applicable statutory period in which revocation of
the General Release is permitted (the “First Installment”); and (b) an amount equal to the Severance Installment Payment six (6) months from the date of payment of the First Installment (the “Second Installment). The
Company’s obligation to pay severance amounts due to the Executive pursuant to this Article 3, to the extent not already paid, shall cease immediately and such payments will be forfeited if the Executive violates any condition described in
Article 1 or 2. The parties intend and agree that any payments contemplated by this Agreement constituting “deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A shall comply with the requirements of such section. No deferred
compensation payable hereunder shall be subject to acceleration or to any change in the specified time or method of payment, except as otherwise provided under this Agreement and consistent with Code Section 409A. In no event shall the Company
have any liability or obligation with respect to taxes for which Executive may become liable as a result of the application of Code Section 409A. 
 Article 2. Noncompetition, Confidentiality, Nonsolicitation, and Ownership 
 2.1.
Noncompetition. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that by virtue of his employment with the Company, he has or will have access to valuable proprietary information not known to the public that the Company possesses, including but not limited
to, methods of operation, business strategies and plans, financial information, marketing materials, ideas, trade secrets, customer contacts and other customer information (“Proprietary Information”). The Executive further acknowledges and
agrees that the Company has legitimate business interests in assuring that his unique knowledge of the Company, including but not limited to that knowledge regarding and relating to the foregoing information, is not disclosed or converted to the use
of entities or individuals in competition with the Company. The Executive therefore agrees that during the Employment Period and for a period of one year after the date of termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company without cause
as set forth in Article 1.1(a) above, he will not, directly or indirectly, compete with the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates by providing services or by being an officer, director, employee, consultant, agent, advisor, shareholder or owner
to or of any other person, partnership, association, corporation, or other entity that is a “Competing Business,” except that he may have an ownership interest of up to two percent (2%) of a Competing Business which is a public
company. As used herein, a “Competing Business” is any business whose activities relate to the products or services of the same or similar type as the products or services which are sold (or, pursuant to an existing business plan, will be
sold) to paying customers of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, and for which the Executive has the responsibility to plan, develop, manage, market, or oversee, or had any such responsibility within the Executive’s most recent
twenty-four (24) months of employment with the Company. Following termination of employment, the Executive may request in writing an exception to the foregoing provision from the Company for prospective employment, which exception will be
granted if the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that such prospective employment will not unduly or materially compete with or otherwise interfere with the business of the Company. The restrictions on competition as set forth in this
paragraph shall not apply in the event that the Executive terminates employment voluntarily. 

  
 2 

 In addition to the foregoing, the Executive agrees that, for a period of one year after the date of
termination or cessation of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever, he will not, directly or indirectly, intentionally entice, induce or solicit, or attempt to entice, induce or solicit, any individual or entity
having a current or prospective business relationship with the Company, whether as a consultant, client, customer or otherwise, to terminate or cease such relationship with the Company, or to fail to enter into or renew such relationship with the
Company. 
 The parties agree that the above restrictions on competition are completely severable and independent agreements supported by good
and valuable consideration and, as such, shall survive the termination of this Agreement for whatever reason. The parties further agree that any invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more of such restrictions on competition shall not render
invalid or unenforceable any remaining restrictions on competition. Additionally, should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that the scope of any provision of this Article 2.1 is too broad to be enforced as written, the parties intend that
the court reform the provision to such narrower scope as it determines to be reasonable and enforceable. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions herein are expressly assignable to any successor
of the Company as set forth in Article 4(b). 
 2.2. Nonsolicitation. During the Employment Period and for a one year after the
termination or cessation of his employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever, the Executive shall not, on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person, partnership, association, corporation, or entity: (a) directly, indirectly, or
through a third party hire or cause to be hired; (b) directly, indirectly, or through a third party solicit; or (c) in any manner attempt to influence or induce any employee of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates to leave the
employment of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, nor shall he use or disclose to any person, partnership, association, corporation, or other entity any information obtained concerning the names and addresses the Company’s employees.
The Executive further agrees and acknowledges that the Company has confidentiality and non-competition agreements with certain of its employees, and he agrees that he will not interfere with any such agreements. The parties agree that the above
restrictions on hiring and solicitation are completely severable and independent agreements supported by good and valuable consideration and, as such, shall survive the termination of this Agreement for whatever reason. The parties further agree
that any invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more of such restrictions on hiring and solicitation shall not render invalid or unenforceable any remaining restrictions on hiring and solicitation. Additionally, should a court of competent
jurisdiction determine that the scope of any provision of this Article 2.2 is too broad to be enforced as written, the parties intend that the court reform the provision to such narrower scope as it determines to be reasonable and enforceable.

 2.3. Nondisclosure of Trade Secrets. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, the
Executive agrees: (a) to treat all Proprietary Information in a secret and confidential manner, take all reasonable steps to maintain such secrecy, and comply with all applicable procedures established by the Company with respect to maintaining
the secrecy and confidentiality of Proprietary Information; (b) to use Proprietary Information only as necessary and proper in the performance of the Executive’s duties as an employee of the Company; and (c) except as required in this
Article 2.3, to not directly or indirectly, without the written consent of the Company, reproduce, copy, disseminate, publish, disclose, provide or otherwise make available to any person, firm, corporation, agency or other entity, any Proprietary
Information. Under no circumstances shall the Executive use, directly or indirectly, any such Proprietary Information for his personal gain or profit. 
 2.4. Nondisparagement. During the Employment Period and at all times thereafter, the Executive agrees to not disparage the Company or otherwise make comments harmful to the Company’s
reputation. 
 2.5. Ownership. The Executive agrees that all inventions, copyrightable material, business and/or technical information,
marketing plans, customer lists, and trade secrets which arise out of the performance of this Agreement are the property of the Company.

 Article 3. Change in Control 
 3.1. Change in Control. This Article 3 shall not become effective, and the Company shall have no obligation hereunder, unless the employment of the Executive with the Company shall terminate for
the reasons provided in this Article 3 during a Potential Change in Control Protection Period or within the period ending twenty-four (24) calendar months after a Change in Control.  

3.2. Definition of Change in Control. Change in Control of the Company shall be as set forth in the Company’s Phantom Stock Plan effective as
of February 11, 2003, and amended and restated effective as of November 9, 2005, and as such plan or its successor shall be or has been amended and/or restated from time to time thereafter; provided, however, that any amendment to the
definition of Change in Control shall not apply to a transaction that occurs within the twenty-four (24) calendar month period after such amendment is adopted if such transaction would have constituted a Change in Control or Potential Change in
Control without regard to such transaction. 
 3.3. Potential Change in Control Definitions. 

(a) For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Potential Change in Control” means the date when any of the following actions
occur: (i) The Company enters into an agreement the consummation of which, or the approval by shareholders of which, would constitute a Change in Control; (ii) any other event occurs which is deemed to be a Potential Change in Control by
the Board and the Board adopts a resolution to the effect that a Potential Change in Control has occurred. 
 (b) The term
“Potential Change in Control Protection Period” means the period beginning on the date an event described in the preceding subparagraph occurs and ending (i) with respect to a Potential Change in Control described in clause (a)(i)
above, upon the abandonment or termination of the applicable agreement; or (ii) with respect to a Potential Change in Control described in clause (a)(ii) above, upon the one year anniversary of the occurrence of the Potential Change in Control
or such earlier date as may be determined by the Board. 
 (c) If a Change in Control occurs within the Potential Change in
Control Protection Period, the Potential Change in Control Protection Period shall automatically terminate on the date of the Change in Control and the Change in Control protections described herein shall simultaneously commence. 

(d) In addition to the foregoing, any termination of the Executive at the request of a third party in contemplation of a Change in
Control or Potential Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred during a Potential Change in Control Protection Period. 
 3.4.
Change in Control Severance Benefits. If, at any time during the Potential Change in Control Protection Period or within the period ending twenty-four (24) calendar months after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Executive’s
employment is terminated involuntarily by the Company without Cause (as provided in Article 1.3) or by the Executive for Good Reason (as defined below), then, if the Executive timely signs a General Release and does not revoke or violate such
General Release, the Company shall be obligated to pay to the Executive, in accordance with Article 1.4: 
 (a) The amounts and
benefits described in Article 1.1(a) above; and 
 (b) Outplacement services in an amount not to exceed twenty-five thousand
dollars ($25,000) with a firm selected by the Company and at the reasonable expense of the Company; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall such outplacement services be provided beyond the December 31 of the second calendar year
following the calendar year in which the Executive’s Separation From Service occurred. Article 1.4 shall apply to the payment of benefits hereunder. 
 3.5. Definition of Good Reason. “Good Reason” shall mean, without the Executive’s express written consent, the occurrence of any one or more of the following events during the
Potential Change in Control Protection Period or within the twenty-four (24) calendar month period immediately following a Change in Control:

responsibilities, and status with the Company; 

  
 4 

 (b) A reduction by the Company in the Executive’s Base Salary or pay incentive
opportunities; unless: (i) the reduction is made with the agreement of the Executive, and/or (ii) the Base Salary for executives of a similar class are also similarly reduced; or (iii) there is a reduction in base salary or pay
incentive for all senior executives holding substantially similar agreements to this Agreement; 
 (c) The Company requiring the
Executive to be based anywhere other than a location no more than twenty (20) miles from the Company’s current principal executive offices or the location where the Executive is based; 

(d) Any material breach by the Company of any provision of this Agreement; or 

(e) Any failure by the Company to obtain the assumption of this Agreement by any successor or assign of the Company effected in
accordance with the provisions of Article 4(b). 
 Unless the Executive becomes Disabled, the Executive’s right to terminate employment for
Good Reason shall not be affected by the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness. The Executive’s continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any circumstance constituting
Good Reason herein. The Executive must provide the Company with written notice of intent to terminate and request for cure within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the Good Reason event, which notice, in the case of an event described in
clause (a) or (d) above, shall provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity (not required to exceed fourteen (14) days) to cure the event. If the Company cures the Good Reason event within the time provided, the Executive’s
notice of intent to terminate shall automatically be withdrawn and of no effect. 
 Article 4. Miscellaneous 

(a) Any notices required by this Agreement shall: (i) be delivered by messenger or made in writing and mailed by certified mail,

 (b) The obligations and duties of the Executive under this Agreement are personal and not assignable by the Executive. This Agreement may and shall be assigned or transferred to, and shall be binding upon
and shall inure to the benefit of, any successor of the Company, and any such successor shall be deemed substituted for all purposes of the “Company” under the terms of this Agreement (other than for the purpose of determining whether a
Change in Control has occurred or may potentially occur). If any term or provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal or invalid, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining terms or provisions hereof, and each such remaining
term and provision of this Agreement shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. 
 (c) If any dispute arises
under this Agreement, such dispute shall be referred to a panel of three (3) arbitrators for resolution. Any such arbitration proceeding shall take place in Arlington or Fairfax County, Virginia. All disputes shall be resolved by a single
arbitrator. The arbitrator will have the authority to award the same remedies, damages, and costs that a court could award. The American Arbitration Association’s Voluntary Labor Arbitration Rules shall govern procedures for the arbitration,
unless the parties unanimously agree to adopt a different rule or rules. 
 (d) This Agreement may be altered, amended or
modified only by written agreement signed by both the Executive and the Company. No oral modification of this Agreement, or of any part of this Agreement including this paragraph, shall have any force or effect. No waiver by either of such parties
of their rights under this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a waiver with respect to any subsequent occurrences or transactions hereunder unless such waiver specifically states that it is to be construed as a continuing waiver.

the Company and the Executive relating to the termination of the Executive’s employment and the amounts payable under this Agreement, provided that the provisions contained in the Company’s offer letter to the Executive, dated
February 24, 2010, shall remain in full force and effect. This Agreement shall not be modified or waived except by written instrument signed by the parties.

4. At-Will Relationship. Employee’s employment with Company is at-will and not for any specified period and may be terminated
at any time, with or without cause, by either Employee or Company, subject to Section 9 below and its subparts. No representative of Company, other than the Chief Executive Officer has the authority to alter the at-will employment relationship.
Any change to the at-will employment relationship must be by specific, written agreement signed by Employee and the Chief Executive Officer. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or should be construed to contradict, modify or alter this at-will
relationship. 
 5. Compensation. 
 5.1 Base Salary. As compensation for Employee’s performance of Employee’s duties hereunder, Company shall pay to Employee, a base salary of $275,000 per 

 
year effective as of May 9, 2012, payable in accordance with the normal payroll practices of Company, less required deductions for state and federal withholding tax, social security and all
other employment taxes and payroll deductions (“Base Salary”). 
 5.2 Short-Term Incentive Plan. Employee shall

	  	 	1,000 shares	  

 5.5 Section 409A Compliance. If any payment(s) to Employee under the terms of this Agreement
or plans is determined to constitute a payment of nonqualified deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A of the Code payable on account of a “separation from service” (as defined under Section 409A of the Code) that is
not exempt from Section 409A of the Code as involuntary separation pay or a short-term deferral (or otherwise), such payment(s) shall be delayed until the date that is six months after the date of Employee’s separation from service with
the Company (or, if sooner, the date of Employee’s death), if and only to the extent necessary to comply with the special rule for certain “specified employees” set forth in Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i). Upon the expiration of
the period described in the preceding sentence, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this section (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed
to Employee in a lump sum without interest, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. A termination of employment shall not be
deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within
the meaning of Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references 

  
 2 

 
to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” With regard to any provision herein that provides for
reimbursement of costs and expenses or in-kind benefits, except as permitted by Section 409A of the Code, all such payments shall be made on or before the last day of calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense occurred. Each
payment made under this Agreement shall be treated as a “separate payment” within the meaning of Section 409A. 

6. Benefits. Employee shall be eligible for all customary and usual fringe benefits generally available to similarly situated
employees of the Company subject to the terms and conditions of Company’s benefit plan documents. Company reserves the right to change or eliminate the fringe benefits on a prospective basis, at any time, effective upon notice to Employee.

 7. Confidentiality and Proprietary Rights. Employee executed the Company’s Nondisclosure and Assignment of Ideas
Agreement, as amended from time to time, as a condition of his employment, which is incorporated herein by reference. 
 8.
Covenants. The Employee shall not, during the Term and thereafter for the Restricted Period (as defined below), do any of the following, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Company: 

8.1 engage or participate in (as owner, stockholder, lender, partner, co-venturer, director, officer, employee, agent consultant or
otherwise) any business directly competitive with the Company’s business, as conducted during the Term with respect to any period during the Term, or upon the termination of Employee’s employment hereunder with respect to any period
thereafter; 
 8.2 become interested in (as owner, stockholder, lender, partner, co-venturer, director, officer, employee,
agent, consultant or otherwise) any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity engaged in any business that is directly competitive with the business of the Company, as conducted during the Term with respect to any period during the
Term, or upon the termination of Employee’s employment hereunder with respect to any period thereafter, or become interested in (as owner, stockholder, lender, partner, co-venturer, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or otherwise)
any portion of the business of any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity where such portion of such business is competitive with the business of the Company, as conducted during the Term with respect to any period during the Term,
or upon the termination of Employee’s employment hereunder with respect to any period thereafter; 
 8.3 influence or
attempt to influence any licensee, strategic partner, supplier, or customer of the Company or potential licensee, strategic partner, supplier or customer of the Company to terminate or modify any written or oral agreement or course of dealing with
the Company; or 
 8.4 influence or attempt to influence any person or entity to either (i) terminate or modify their
employment, consulting, agency, distributorship or other arrangement with the Company, or (ii) employ or retain, or arrange to have any other person or entity employ 

  
 3 

 
or retain, any person or entity that has been employed or retained by the Company as an employee, consultant, agent or distributor of the Company at any time during the twelve (12) month
period immediately preceding the termination of Employee’s employment hereunder. 
 For purposes of this Agreement, the
Restricted Period shall constitute (as applicable) (i) the period, if any, that Employee shall receive severance as set forth in Section 9.2 hereof, (ii) in the event Employee’s employment hereunder is terminated for Cause
pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, a period of one (1) year following such termination, or (iii) in the event that Employee terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.3, so long as the Company voluntarily pays severance (in the
form of base salary continuation) to Employee (which the Company shall be under no obligation to do), for the period that Employee shall receive such severance, but in no event for a period longer than one (1) year. In the case of
(iii) above, Employee’s termination notice shall specify the name of any employer that Employee intends to accept employment with and the nature of the proposed position. Company shall render its decision whether or not to enforce the
Restricted Period and notify Employee thereof within thirty (30) days of Employee’s notice of termination to Company. 

An activity shall be deemed “directly competitive” when there is a reasonable likelihood based on Employee’s actual
possession (whether or not in tangible form) of technical information, trade secrets or confidential information of the Company or their respective business associates, the activity prohibited would result in the use of such technical or trade
secret or confidential information. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent Employee from holding less
than one percent (1%) of the outstanding securities of any class of any publicly traded securities of a company that is engaged in activities referenced in Section 8.1 hereof. 

9. Termination. Employee’s employment hereunder may be terminated during the Term upon the occurrence of any one of the
events described in this Section 9. Upon termination, Employee shall be entitled only to such compensation and benefits as described in this Section 9. 
 9.1 Termination for Cause by Company. Although Company anticipates a mutually rewarding employment relationship with Employee, Company may terminate Employee employment immediately at any time for
Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” is defined as (a) acts or omissions constituting gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of Employee with respect to Employee’s obligations or otherwise
relating to the business of Company; (b) Employee’s material breach of this Agreement or Company’s Nondisclosure and Assignment of Ideas Agreement; (c) Employee’s conviction or entry of a plea of nolo contendere for fraud,
misappropriation or embezzlement, or any felony or crime of moral turpitude; or (d) Employee’s willful neglect of duties as determined in the sole and exclusive discretion of the Board of Directors. In the event Employee’s employment
is terminated in accordance with this subsection, Employee shall be entitled to receive only the Base Salary then in effect, prorated to the date of termination, and any accrued but unused vacation (“Standard Entitlements”). All other
Company obligations to Employee pursuant to this Agreement will become automatically terminated and completely extinguished. Employee will not be entitled to receive the Severance Payment described in subsections 9.2.1 or 9.4.1 below.

 9.2 Termination Without Cause by Company/Severance. Company may terminate
Employee’s employment under this Agreement without Cause at any time on thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to Employee. In the event of such termination, Employee will receive the Standard Entitlements, and a severance package
as described in subsection 9.2.1 below, provided Employee complies with the conditions described in subsection 9.2.2 below. All other Company obligations to Employee will be automatically terminated and completely extinguished. 

9.2.1 Severance Package. If Employee’s employment is terminated by Company pursuant to this subsection
9.2 Employee shall be entitled to: (a) a severance payment equivalent to twelve (12) months of the Base Salary then in effect on the date of termination; and (b) continued payments by the Company of the premiums required to continue
Employee’s group health care coverage for twelve (12) months, under the applicable provisions of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), provided that Employee elects to continue and remains eligible
for these benefits under COBRA, and does not become eligible for health coverage through another employer during this period. The severance payment and COBRA payment will be paid in installments in accordance with the regular payroll schedule of
Company commencing on the first payroll date next following or coincident with the 60th day following the termination of employment, provided the separation agreement, as described in section 9.2.2 below, becomes effective and irrevocable in accordance with its terms. 

9.2.2 Conditions to Receive Severance Package. In order to receive the severance package described in subsection 9.2.1 above,
Employee must: (i) comply with all surviving provisions of this Agreement as specified in subsection 11 below; and (ii) execute a separation agreement in a form acceptable to Company, including a full general release, releasing all claims,
known or unknown, that Employee may have against Company arising out of or any way related to Employee’s employment or termination of employment with Company. 
 9.3 Voluntary Resignation by Employee. Employee may voluntarily resign Employee’s position with Company at any time on thirty (30) days’ advance written notice. In the event of
Employee’s resignation, Employee will be entitled to receive only the Base Salary then in effect for the thirty-day notice period, accrued but unused vacation, and no other amount. All other Company obligations to Employee pursuant to this
Agreement will become automatically terminated and completely extinguished. In addition, Employee will not be entitled to receive the severance payment described in subsection 9.2 above or 9.4 below. 

9.4 Termination Upon a Change of Control. 
 9.4.1 Severance Package. If Employee’s employment is terminated by Company within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control (as that term is defined below), other than for Cause (as
defined in subsection 9.1 above), Employee shall be entitled to: (a) a severance payment equivalent to twenty-four (24) months of the Base Salary then in effect on the date of termination; (b) continued payments by the Company of the
premiums required to continue Employee’s group health care coverage for eighteen (18) months, under the applicable provisions of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), provided that Employee elects
to continue and remains eligible for these benefits under COBRA, 

  
 5 

 
and does not become eligible for health coverage through another employer during this period; and (c) a payment equivalent to Employee’s target bonus level under the Incentive Plan for
the year of termination. The severance payment will be paid on the 60th day following the termination of employment, provided the separation agreement, described in section 9.4.2 below, has become effective and irrevocable in accordance with its terms, except that the COBRA
payment described in subsection (b) above will be paid in installments according to the regular payroll schedule of Company commencing on the first payroll date next following or coincident with the 60th day following the termination of employment provided the separation
agreement has become effective and irrevocable. 
 9.4.2 Conditions to Receive Severance Package. In order to receive
the severance package described in subsection 9.4.1 above, Employee must: (i) comply with all surviving provisions of this Agreement as specified in subsection 11 below; and (ii) execute a separation agreement in a form acceptable to
Company, including a full general release, releasing all claims, known or unknown, that Employee may have against Company arising out of or any way related to Employee’s employment or termination of employment with Company. 

9.4.3 280G. In the event that the benefits provided under subsection 9.4.1 or otherwise to Employee would constitute
“parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) that would subject Employee to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then either
(i) the payment under Section 9.4.1 shall be reduced to such lesser amount that would result in no amount being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, or (ii) the payments hereunder shall be made in full, whichever
produces the larger net after-tax benefit for Employee. 
 9.4.4 Change of Control. A Change of Control is defined as
any one of the following occurrences: 
 (a) Any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)), other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities of Company under an employee benefit plan of Company, becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of the securities of Company representing more than 50% of (A) the outstanding shares of common stock of Company or (B) the combined voting power of the Company’s
then-outstanding securities; or 
 (b) the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of Company’s assets (or any
transaction having similar effect is consummated); or 
 (c) Company is party to a merger or consolidation that results in the
holders of voting securities of Company outstanding immediately prior thereto failing to continue to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 50% of the combined
voting power of the voting securities of Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or 
 (d) the dissolution or liquidation of Company.
