 OCCAM NETWORKS, INC. 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED 2000 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
 ARTICLE ONE

 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
  

	 	I.	PURPOSE OF THE PLAN 

 This 2000 Stock Incentive
Plan is intended to promote the interests of Occam Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation, by providing eligible persons in the Corporation’s service with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest, or otherwise increase their
proprietary interest, in the Corporation as an incentive for them to remain in such service. 
 Capitalized terms shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms in the attached Appendix. 
  

	 	II.	STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN 

 A.    The Plan shall be divided into three separate equity incentives programs: 
 –    the Discretionary Option Grant Program under which eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be granted options to purchase shares of Common Stock, 
 –    the Stock Issuance Program under which eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be issued shares
of Common Stock directly, either through the immediate purchase of such shares or as a bonus for services rendered the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary), and 
 –    the Automatic Option Grant Program under which eligible non-employee Board members shall automatically receive option grants at designated intervals over their period of continued Board
service. 
 B.    The provisions of Articles One and Six shall apply to all equity programs under the Plan and shall
govern the interests of all persons under the Plan. 
  

 -1- 

	 	III.	ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN 

 A.    The Primary Committee shall have sole and exclusive authority to administer the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs with respect to Section 16 Insiders. Administration of the Discretionary
Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs with respect to all other persons eligible to participate in those programs may, at the Board’s discretion, be vested in the Primary Committee or a Secondary Committee, or the Board may retain the power
to administer those programs with respect to all such persons. However, any discretionary option grants or stock issuances for members of the Primary Committee must be authorized by a disinterested majority of the Board. 
 B.    Members of the Primary Committee or any Secondary Committee shall serve for such period of time as the Board may determine and
may be removed by the Board at any time. The Board may also at any time terminate the functions of any Secondary Committee and reassume all powers and authority previously delegated to such committee. 
 C.    Each Plan Administrator shall, within the scope of its administrative functions under the Plan, have full power and authority
(subject to the provisions of the Plan) to establish such rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate for proper administration of the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs and to make such determinations under, and issue such
interpretations of, the provisions of those programs and any outstanding options or stock issuances thereunder as it may deem necessary or advisable. Decisions of the Plan Administrator within the scope of its administrative functions under the Plan
shall be final and binding on all parties who have an interest in the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs under its jurisdiction or any stock option or stock issuance thereunder. 
 D.    Service on the Primary Committee or the Secondary Committee shall constitute service as a Board member, and members of each
such committee shall accordingly be entitled to full indemnification and reimbursement as Board members for their service on such committee. No member of the Primary Committee or the Secondary Committee shall be liable for any act or omission made
in good faith with respect to the Plan or any option grants or stock issuances under the Plan. 
 E.    Administration of
the Automatic Option Grant Program shall be self-executing in accordance with the terms of that program, and no Plan Administrator shall exercise any discretionary functions with respect to any option grants or stock issuances made under that
program. 
  

	 	IV.	ELIGIBILITY 

 A.    The persons
eligible to participate in the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs are as follows: 
 (i) Employees, 
 (ii) non-employee members of the Board or the board of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary, and 
  

 -2- 

 (iii) consultants and other independent advisors who provide services to the Corporation (or any Parent
or Subsidiary). 
 B.    Each Plan Administrator shall, within the scope of its administrative jurisdiction under the
Plan, have full authority to determine, (i) with respect to the option grants under the Discretionary Option Grant Program, which eligible persons are to receive such grants, the time or times when those grants are to be made, the number of
shares to be covered by each such grant, the status of the granted option as either an Incentive Option or a Non-Statutory Option, the time or times when each option is to become exercisable, the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the option
shares and the maximum term for which the option is to remain outstanding and (ii) with respect to stock issuances under the Stock Issuance Program, which eligible persons are to receive such issuances, the time or times when the issuances are
to be made, the number of shares to be issued to each Participant, the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the issued shares and the consideration for such shares. Except in the case of options granted to officers, directors and consultants,
options and stock issuances shall become exercisable at a rate of no less than 20% per year over five (5) years from the date the options and stock issuances are granted. 
 C.    The Plan Administrator shall have the absolute discretion either to grant options in accordance with the Discretionary Option
Grant Program or to effect stock issuances in accordance with the Stock Issuance Program. 
 D.    The individuals who
shall be eligible to participate in the Automatic Option Grant Program shall be limited to (i) those individuals who first become non-employee Board members on or after the Underwriting Date, whether through appointment by the Board or election
by the Corporation’s stockholders, and (ii) those individuals who continue to serve as non-employee Board members at one or more Annual Stockholders Meetings held after the Underwriting Date. A non-employee Board member who has previously
been in the employ of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary) shall not be eligible to receive an option grant under the Automatic Option Grant Program at the time he or she first becomes a non-employee Board member, but shall be eligible to
receive periodic option grants under the Automatic Option Grant Program while he or she continues to serve as a non-employee Board member. 
  

	 	V.	STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN 

 A.    The stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock, including shares repurchased by the Corporation on the open market. As of June 21, 2005, the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock that have been reserved for issuance over the term of the Plan is two million twenty-four thousand two hundred forty-five (2,024,245) shares. Such reserve shall include the number of shares estimated to remain
available for issuance, as of the Plan Effective Date, under the Predecessor Plan as last approved by the Corporation’s stockholders, including the shares subject to outstanding options under the Predecessor Plan. 
 B.    The number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall automatically increase on the first trading
day of January each calendar year during the term of the Plan, beginning with calendar year 2006, by an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the total 

  

 -3- 

 
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock) on the
last trading day in December of the immediately preceding calendar year. 
 C.    No one person participating in the Plan
may receive stock options, separately exercisable stock appreciation rights and direct stock issuances for more than five million (5,000,000) shares of Common Stock in the aggregate per calendar year. 
 D.    Shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options (including options incorporated into this Plan from the Predecessor Plan)
shall be available for subsequent issuance under the Plan to the extent (i) those options expire or terminate for any reason prior to exercise in full or (ii) the options are cancelled in accordance with the cancellation-regrant provisions
of Article Two. Unvested shares issued under the Plan and subsequently cancelled or repurchased by the Corporation at the original issue price paid per share, pursuant to the Corporation’s repurchase rights under the Plan shall be added
back to the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan and shall accordingly be available for reissuance through one or more subsequent option grants or direct stock issuances under the Plan. However, should the exercise
price of an option under the Plan be paid with shares of Common Stock or should shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable under the Plan be withheld by the Corporation in satisfaction of the withholding taxes incurred in connection with the exercise
of an option or the vesting of a stock issuance under the Plan, then the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced by the gross number of shares for which the option is exercised or which vest under the
stock issuance, and not by the net number of shares of Common Stock issued to the holder of such option or stock issuance. Shares of Common Stock underlying one or more stock appreciation rights exercised under Section IV of Article Two,
Section III of Article Three or Section II of Article Five of the Plan shall not be available for subsequent issuance under the Plan. 
 E.    If any change is made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding
Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made by the Plan Administrator to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the Plan, (ii) the maximum
number and/or class of securities for which any one person may be granted stock options, separately exercisable stock appreciation rights and direct stock issuances under the Plan per calendar year, (iii) the number and/or class of securities
for which grants are subsequently to be made under the Automatic Option Grant Program to new and continuing non-employee Board members, (iv) the number and/or class of securities and the exercise price per share in effect under each outstanding
option under the Plan, (v) the number and/or class of securities and exercise price per share in effect under each outstanding option incorporated into this Plan from the Predecessor Plan and (vi) the maximum number and/or class of
securities by which the share reserve is to increase automatically each calendar year pursuant to the provisions of Section V.B of this Article One. Such adjustments to the outstanding options are to be effected in a manner which shall
preclude the enlargement or dilution of rights and benefits under such options. The adjustments determined by the Plan Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive.

 ARTICLE TWO 
 DISCRETIONARY OPTION GRANT PROGRAM 
  

	 	I.	OPTION TERMS 

 Each option shall be evidenced by
one or more documents in the form approved by the Plan Administrator; provided, however, that each such document shall comply with the terms specified below. Each document evidencing an Incentive Option shall, in addition, be subject to the
provisions of the Plan applicable to such options. 
 A.    Exercise Price. 
 1.    The exercise price per share shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator but shall not be less than one hundred percent
(100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date. 
 2.    The exercise price
shall become immediately due upon exercise of the option and shall, subject to the provisions of Section I of Article Six and the documents evidencing the option, be payable in one or more of the forms specified below: 
 (i) cash or check made payable to the Corporation, 
 (ii) shares of Common Stock held for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation’s earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date, or

 (iii) to the extent the option is exercised for vested shares, through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the
Optionee shall concurrently provide irrevocable instructions to (a) a Corporation-designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement
date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable Federal, state and local income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation by reason of such exercise and
(b) the Corporation to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale. 
 Except to the extent such sale and remittance procedure is utilized, payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made on the Exercise Date. 
 B.    Exercise and Term of Options. Each option shall be exercisable at such time or times, during such period and for such number of shares as shall be determined by the Plan
Administrator and set forth in the documents evidencing the option. However, no option shall have a term in excess of ten (10) years measured from the option grant date. 
  

 -5- 

 C.    Effect of Termination of Service. 
 1.    The following provisions shall govern the exercise of any options held by the Optionee at the time of cessation of Service or
death: 
 (i) Any option outstanding at the time of the Optionee’s cessation of Service for any reason shall remain exercisable for
such period of time thereafter (of at least thirty (30) days for any cessation of Service other than due to Optionee’s death or disability and at least six (6) months for any cessation of Service due to Optionee’s death or
disability) as shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the documents evidencing the option, but no such option shall be exercisable after the expiration of the option term. 
 (ii) Any option held by the Optionee at the time of death and exercisable in whole or in part at that time may be subsequently exercised by the personal
representative of the Optionee’s estate or by the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee’s will or the laws of inheritance or by the Optionee’s designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of that
option. 
 (iii) Should the Optionee’s Service be terminated for Misconduct or should the Optionee otherwise engage in Misconduct while
holding one or more outstanding options under this Article Two, then all those options shall terminate immediately and cease to be outstanding. 
 (iv) During the applicable post-Service exercise period, the option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of vested shares for which the option is exercisable on the date of the
Optionee’s cessation of Service. Upon the expiration of the applicable exercise period or (if earlier) upon the expiration of the option term, the option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any vested shares for which the option has
not been exercised. However, the option shall, immediately upon the Optionee’s cessation of Service, terminate and cease to be outstanding to the extent the option is not otherwise at that time exercisable for vested shares. 
 2.    The Plan Administrator shall have complete discretion, exercisable either at the time an option is granted or at any time
while the option remains outstanding, to: 
 (i) extend the period of time for which the option is to remain exercisable following the
Optionee’s cessation of Service from the limited exercise period otherwise in effect for that option to such greater period of time as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate, but in no event beyond the expiration of the option term,
and/or 
 (ii) permit the option to be exercised, during the applicable post-Service exercise period, not only with respect to the number of
vested shares of Common Stock for which such option is exercisable at the time of the Optionee’s cessation of Service but also with respect to one or more additional installments in which the Optionee would have vested had the Optionee
continued in Service. 
  

 -6- 

 D.    Stockholder Rights. The holder of an option shall have no
stockholder rights with respect to the shares subject to the option until such person shall have exercised the option, paid the exercise price and become a holder of record of the purchased shares. 
 E.    Repurchase Rights. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion to grant options which are exercisable for
unvested shares of Common Stock. Should the Optionee cease Service while holding such unvested shares, the Corporation shall have the right to repurchase, at the exercise price paid per share, any or all of those unvested shares. The terms upon
which such repurchase right shall be exercisable (including the period and procedure for exercise and the appropriate vesting schedule for the purchased shares) shall be established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing
such repurchase right. 
 F.    Limited Transferability of Options. During the lifetime of the Optionee,
Incentive Options shall be exercisable only by the Optionee and shall not be assignable or transferable other than by will or the laws of inheritance following the Optionee’s death. Non-Statutory Options shall be subject to the same
restriction, except that a Non-Statutory Option may be assigned in whole or in part during the Optionee’s lifetime to one or more members of the Optionee’s family or to a trust established exclusively for one or more such family members or
to Optionee’s former spouse, to the extent such assignment is in connection with the Optionee’s estate plan or pursuant to a domestic relations order. The assigned portion may only be exercised by the person or persons who acquire a
proprietary interest in the option pursuant to the assignment. The terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for the option immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such documents issued to
the assignee as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionee may also designate one or more persons as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of his or her outstanding options under this Article Two, and
those options shall, in accordance with such designation, automatically be transferred to such beneficiary or beneficiaries upon the Optionee’s death while holding those options. Such beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the transferred
options subject to all the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement evidencing each such transferred option, including (without limitation) the limited time period during which the option may be exercised following the Optionee’s death.

  

	 	II.	INCENTIVE OPTIONS 

 The terms specified below shall
be applicable to all Incentive Options. Except as modified by the provisions of this Section II, all the provisions of Articles One, Two and Six shall be applicable to Incentive Options. Options which are specifically designated as
Non-Statutory Options when issued under the Plan shall not be subject to the terms of this Section II. 
 A.    Eligibility. Incentive Options may only be granted to Employees. 
 B.    Dollar Limitation. The aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) for which one or more options granted to any Employee under
the Plan (or any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) may for the first time become exercisable as Incentive Options during any one calendar year shall not exceed the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). To
the extent 

  

 -7- 

 
the Employee holds two (2) or more such options which become exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year, the foregoing limitation on the
exercisability of such options as Incentive Options shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such options are granted. 
 C.    10% Stockholder. If any Employee to whom an Incentive Option is granted is a 10% Stockholder, then the exercise price per share shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair
Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date, and the option term shall not exceed five (5) years measured from the option grant date. 
  

	 	III.	CORPORATE TRANSACTION/CHANGE IN CONTROL 

 A.    In the event of any Corporate Transaction, each outstanding option under the Discretionary Option Grant Program shall automatically accelerate so that each such option shall, immediately prior to the effective date
of the Corporate Transaction, become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to such option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock. However, an outstanding option shall
not become exercisable on such an accelerated basis if and to the extent: (i) such option is, in connection with the Corporate Transaction, to be assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or (ii) such option is to be
replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread existing at the time of the Corporate Transaction on any shares for which the option is not otherwise at that time exercisable and provides for subsequent
payout in accordance with the same exercise/vesting schedule applicable to those option shares or (iii) the acceleration of such option is subject to other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time of the option grant.

 B.    All outstanding repurchase rights under the Discretionary Option Grant Program shall automatically terminate,
and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, in the event of any Corporate Transaction, except to the extent: (i) those repurchase rights are to be assigned to the successor corporation (or
parent thereof) in connection with such Corporate Transaction or (ii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time the repurchase right is issued. 
 C.    Immediately following the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, all outstanding options under the Discretionary Option
Grant Program shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof). 
 D.    Each option which is assumed in connection with a Corporate Transaction shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have
been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Corporate Transaction had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction. Appropriate adjustments to reflect such Corporate Transaction shall also be made to
(i) the exercise price payable per share under each outstanding option, provided the aggregate exercise price payable for such securities shall remain the same, (ii) the maximum number and/or class of securities available for
issuance over the remaining term of the Plan and (iii) the maximum number and/or class of securities for which any one person may be granted stock options, separately exercisable stock appreciation rights and direct stock issuances under the
Plan per calendar year and 

  

 -8- 

 
(iv) the maximum number and/or class of securities by which the share reserve is to increase automatically each calendar year. To the extent the actual
holders of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Corporate Transaction, the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption of the outstanding options
under the Discretionary Option Grant Program, substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Corporate Transaction. 
 E.    The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more outstanding options under the
Discretionary Option Grant Program so that those options shall, immediately prior to the effective date of such Corporate Transaction, become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to those options and may be exercised
for any or all of those shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock, whether or not those options are to be assumed in the Corporate Transaction. In addition, the Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more
of the Corporation’s repurchase rights under the Discretionary Option Grant Program so that those rights shall not be assignable in connection with such Corporate Transaction and shall accordingly terminate upon the consummation of such
Corporate Transaction, and the shares subject to those terminated rights shall thereupon vest in full. 
 F.    The Plan
Administrator shall have full power and authority to structure one or more outstanding options under the Discretionary Option Grant Program so that those options shall become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to
those options in the event the Optionee’s Service is subsequently terminated by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed twelve (12) months) following the effective date of any Corporate Transaction in
which those options are assumed and do not otherwise accelerate. In addition, the Plan Administrator may structure one or more of the Corporation’s repurchase rights so that those rights shall immediately terminate with respect to any shares
held by the Optionee at the time of his or her Involuntary Termination, and the shares subject to those terminated repurchase rights shall accordingly vest in full at that time. 
 G.    The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more outstanding options under the
Discretionary Option Grant Program so that those options shall, immediately prior to the effective date of a Change in Control, become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to those options and may be exercised for any
or all of those shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock. In addition, the Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more of the Corporation’s repurchase rights under the Discretionary Option Grant
Program so that those rights shall terminate automatically upon the consummation of such Change in Control, and the shares subject to those terminated rights shall thereupon vest in full. Alternatively, the Plan Administrator may condition the
automatic acceleration of one or more outstanding options under the Discretionary Option Grant Program and the termination of one or more of the Corporation’s outstanding repurchase rights under such program upon the subsequent termination of
the Optionee’s Service by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed twelve (12) months) following the effective date of such Change in Control. 
  

 -9- 

 H.    The portion of any Incentive Option accelerated in connection with a Corporate
Transaction or Change in Control shall remain exercisable as an Incentive Option only to the extent the applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation is not exceeded. To the extent such dollar limitation is exceeded, the accelerated
portion of such option shall be exercisable as a Nonstatutory Option under the Federal tax laws. 
 I.    The outstanding
options shall in no way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or
assets. 
  

	 	IV.	CANCELLATION AND REGRANT OF OPTIONS 

 The Plan
Administrator shall have the authority to effect, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of the affected option holders, the cancellation of any or all outstanding options under the Discretionary Option Grant Program (including
outstanding options incorporated from the Predecessor Plan) and to grant in substitution new options covering the same or a different number of shares of Common Stock but with an exercise price per share based on the Fair Market Value per share of
Common Stock on the new grant date. 
  

	 	V.	STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 

 A.    The Plan Administrator shall have full power and authority to grant to selected Optionees tandem stock appreciation rights and/or limited stock appreciation rights. 
 B.    The following terms shall govern the grant and exercise of tandem stock appreciation rights: 
 (i) One or more Optionees may be granted the right, exercisable upon such terms as the Plan Administrator may establish, to elect between the exercise
of the underlying option for shares of Common Stock and the surrender of that option in exchange for a distribution from the Corporation in an amount equal to the excess of (a) the Fair Market Value (on the option surrender date) of the number
of shares in which the Optionee is at the time vested under the surrendered option (or surrendered portion thereof) over (b) the aggregate exercise price payable for such shares. 
 (ii) No such option surrender shall be effective unless it is approved by the Plan Administrator, either at the time of the actual option surrender or
at any earlier time. If the surrender is so approved, then the distribution to which the Optionee shall be entitled may be made in shares of Common Stock valued at Fair Market Value on the option surrender date, in cash, or partly in shares and
partly in cash, as the Plan Administrator shall in its sole discretion deem appropriate. 
 (iii) If the surrender of an option is not
approved by the Plan Administrator, then the Optionee shall retain whatever rights the Optionee had under the surrendered option (or surrendered portion thereof) on the option surrender date and may exercise such rights at any time prior to the
later of (a) five (5) business days after the receipt of the rejection notice or (b) the last day on which the option is otherwise exercisable in accordance with the terms of the 

  

 -10- 

 
documents evidencing such option, but in no event may such rights be exercised more than ten (10) years after the option grant date. 
 C.    The following terms shall govern the grant and exercise of limited stock appreciation rights: 
 (i) One or more Section 16 Insiders may be granted limited stock appreciation rights with respect to their outstanding options. 
 (ii) Upon the occurrence of a Hostile Take-Over, each individual holding one or more options with such a limited stock appreciation right shall have the
unconditional right (exercisable for a thirty (30)-day period following such Hostile Take-Over) to surrender each such option to the Corporation. In return for the surrendered option, the Optionee shall receive a cash distribution from the
Corporation in an amount equal to the excess of (A) the Take-Over Price of the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to such option (whether or not the option is otherwise at that time exercisable for those shares) over (B) the
aggregate exercise price payable for those shares. Such cash distribution shall be paid within five (5) days following the option surrender date. 
 (iii) At the time such limited stock appreciation right is granted, the Plan Administrator shall pre-approve any subsequent exercise of that right in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph C. Accordingly, no
further approval of the Plan Administrator or the Board shall be required at the time of the actual option surrender and cash distribution. 
 ARTICLE THREE 
 STOCK ISSUANCE PROGRAM 
  

	 	I.	STOCK ISSUANCE TERMS 

 Shares of Common Stock may
be issued under the Stock Issuance Program through direct and immediate issuances without any intervening option grants. Each such stock issuance shall be evidenced by a Stock Issuance Agreement which complies with the terms specified below. Shares
of Common Stock may also be issued under the Stock Issuance Program pursuant to share right awards which entitle the recipients to receive those shares upon the attainment of designated performance goals to officers and directors of the Corporation
and key employees of the Corporation who earn at least $65,000 per year. 
 A.    Purchase Price.

 1.    The purchase price per share shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator, but shall not be less than one hundred
percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the issuance date. 
  

 -11- 

 2.    Subject to the provisions of Section I of Article Six, shares of
Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program for any of the following items of consideration which the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate in each individual instance: 
 (i) cash or check made payable to the Corporation, or 
 (ii) past services rendered to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary). 
 B.    Vesting Provisions. 
 1.    Shares of Common Stock issued under the
Stock Issuance Program may, in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be fully and immediately vested upon issuance or may vest in one or more installments over the Participant’s period of Service or upon attainment of specified performance
objectives. The elements of the vesting schedule applicable to any unvested shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and incorporated into the Stock Issuance Agreement. Shares of
Common Stock may also be issued under the Stock Issuance Program pursuant to share right awards which entitle the recipients to receive those shares upon the attainment of designated performance goals. 
 2.    Any new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including money paid other than as a regular cash dividend)
which the Participant may have the right to receive with respect to the Participant’s unvested shares of Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change
affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration shall be issued subject to (i) the same vesting requirements applicable to the Participant’s unvested shares of Common Stock and
(ii) such escrow arrangements as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate. 
 3.    The Participant shall have
full stockholder rights with respect to any shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant under the Stock Issuance Program, whether or not the Participant’s interest in those shares is vested. Accordingly, the Participant shall have the
right to vote such shares and to receive any regular cash dividends paid on such shares. 
 4.    Should the Participant
cease to remain in Service while holding one or more unvested shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program or should the performance objectives not be attained with respect to one or more such unvested shares of Common Stock, then
those shares shall be immediately surrendered to the Corporation for cancellation, and the Participant shall have no further stockholder rights with respect to those shares. To the extent the surrendered shares were previously issued to the
Participant for consideration paid in cash or cash equivalent (including the Participant’s purchase-money indebtedness), the Corporation shall repay to the Participant the cash consideration paid for the surrendered shares and shall cancel the
unpaid principal balance of any outstanding purchase-money note of the Participant attributable to the surrendered shares. 
  

 -12- 

 5.    The Plan Administrator may in its discretion waive the surrender and
cancellation of one or more unvested shares of Common Stock which would otherwise occur upon the cessation of the Participant’s Service or the non-attainment of the performance objectives applicable to those shares. Such waiver shall result in
the immediate vesting of the Participant’s interest in the shares of Common Stock as to which the waiver applies. Such waiver may be effected at any time, whether before or after the Participant’s cessation of Service or the attainment or
non-attainment of the applicable performance objectives. 
 6.    Outstanding share right awards under the Stock
Issuance Program shall automatically terminate, and no shares of Common Stock shall actually be issued in satisfaction of those awards, if the performance goals established for such awards are not attained. The Plan Administrator, however, shall

 ARTICLE FOUR 
 AUTOMATIC OPTION GRANT PROGRAM 
  

	 	I.	OPTION TERMS 

 A.    Grant Dates. Option grants shall be made on the dates specified below: 
 1.    Each individual who is first elected or appointed as a non-employee Board member at any time on or after the Underwriting Date shall automatically be granted, on the date of such initial election or appointment, a
Non-Statutory Option to purchase thirty thousand (30,000) shares of Common Stock, provided that individual has not previously been in the employ of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary. 
 2.    On the date of each Annual Stockholders Meeting held after the Underwriting Date, each individual who is to continue to serve
as a non-employee Board member, whether or not that individual is standing for re-election to the Board at that particular Annual Meeting, shall automatically be granted a Non-Statutory Option to purchase ten thousand (10,000) shares of Common
Stock, provided such individual has served as a non-employee Board member for at least six (6) months. There shall be no limit on the number of such 10,000-share option grants any one non-employee Board member may receive over his or her period
of Board service, and non-employee Board members who have previously been in the employ of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary) or who have otherwise received one or more stock option grants from the Corporation prior to the Underwriting
Date shall be eligible to receive one or more such annual option grants over their period of continued Board service. 
 B.    Exercise Price. 
 1.    The exercise price per share shall be equal to
one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date. 
 2.    The exercise price shall be payable in one or more of the alternative forms authorized under the Discretionary Option Grant Program. Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure specified thereunder is
utilized, payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made on the Exercise Date. 
 C.    Option
Term. Each option shall have a term of ten (10) years measured from the option grant date. 
 D.    Exercise and Vesting of Options. Each option shall be immediately exercisable for any or all of the option shares. However, any unvested shares purchased under the option shall be subject to
repurchase by the Corporation, at the exercise price paid per share, upon the Optionee’s cessation of Board service prior to vesting in those shares. The shares subject to each initial 30,000-share grant shall vest, and the Corporation’s
repurchase right shall lapse, in a series of eight (8) successive equal quarterly installments upon the Optionee’s completion of each three (3)-month period of service as a Board member over the twenty-four (24)-month period measured from

  

 -14- 

 
the option grant date. The shares subject to each annual 10,000-share option grant shall vest in two (2) successive semi-annual installments upon the
Optionee’s completion of each six (6)-month period of service over the twelve (12)-month period measured from the grant date. 
 E.    Limited Transferability of Options. Each option under this Article Five may be assigned in whole or in part during the Optionee’s lifetime to one or more members of the Optionee’s
family or to a trust established exclusively for one or more such family members or to Optionee’s former spouse, to the extent such assignment is in connection with the Optionee’s estate plan or pursuant to a domestic relations order. The
assigned portion may only be exercised by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the option pursuant to the assignment. The terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for the option immediately
prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such documents issued to the assignee as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate. The Optionee may also designate one or more persons as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of his or her
outstanding options under this Article Five, and those options shall, in accordance with such designation, automatically be transferred to such beneficiary or beneficiaries upon the Optionee’s death while holding those options. Such
beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the transferred options subject to all the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement evidencing each such transferred option, including (without limitation) the limited time period during which the
option may be exercised following the Optionee’s death. 
 F.    Termination of Board Service. The
following provisions shall govern the exercise of any options held by the Optionee at the time the Optionee ceases to serve as a Board member: 
 (i) The Optionee (or, in the event of Optionee’s death, the personal representative of the Optionee’s estate or the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee’s will or the laws of
inheritance or the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of such option) shall have a twelve (12)-month period following the date of such cessation of Board service in which to exercise each such option. 
 (ii) During the twelve (12)-month exercise period, the option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of vested shares of Common
Stock for which the option is exercisable at the time of the Optionee’s cessation of Board service. 
 (iii) Should the Optionee cease
to serve as a Board member by reason of death or Permanent Disability, then all shares at the time subject to the option shall immediately vest so that such option may, during the twelve (12)-month exercise period following such cessation of Board
service, be exercised for all or any portion of those shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock. 
 (iv) In no event shall the option
remain exercisable after the expiration of the option term. Upon the expiration of the twelve (12)-month exercise period or (if earlier) upon the expiration of the option term, the option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any vested
shares for which the option has not been exercised. However, the option shall, immediately upon the Optionee’s cessation of Board service for any reason other than death or 

  

 -15- 

 
Permanent Disability, terminate and cease to be outstanding to the extent the option is not otherwise at that time exercisable for vested shares. 

 

	 	II.	CORPORATE TRANSACTION/ CHANGE IN CONTROL/ HOSTILE TAKE-OVER 

 A.    In the event of any Corporate Transaction while the Optionee remains a Board member, the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to each outstanding option held by such Optionee under this
Automatic Option Grant Program but not otherwise vested shall automatically vest in full so that each such option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Corporate Transaction, become exercisable for all the option shares as fully
vested shares of Common Stock and may be exercised for any or all of those vested shares. Immediately following the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, each automatic option grant shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the
extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof). 
 B.    In the event of any Change in Control while the
Optionee remains a Board member, the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to each outstanding option held by such Optionee under this Automatic Option Grant Program but not otherwise vested shall automatically vest in full so that each such
option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, become exercisable for all the option shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock and may be exercised for any or all of those vested shares. Each such option shall
remain exercisable for such fully vested option shares until the expiration or sooner termination of the option term or the surrender of the option in connection with a Hostile Take-Over. 
 C.    All outstanding repurchase rights under this under this Automatic Option Grant Program shall automatically terminate, and the
shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, in the event of any Corporate Transaction or Change in Control. 
 D.    Upon the occurrence of a Hostile Take-Over while the Optionee remains a Board member, such Optionee shall have a thirty (30)-day period in which to surrender to the Corporation each of his or
her outstanding options under this Automatic Option Grant Program. The Optionee shall in return be entitled to a cash distribution from the Corporation in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the Take-Over Price of the shares of Common Stock at
the time subject to each surrendered option (whether or not the Optionee is otherwise at the time vested in those shares) over (ii) the aggregate exercise price payable for such shares. Such cash distribution shall be paid within five
(5) days following the surrender of the option to the Corporation. No approval or consent of the Board or any Plan Administrator shall be required at the time of the actual option surrender and cash distribution. 
 E.    Each option which is assumed in connection with a Corporate Transaction shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such
Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Corporate Transaction had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction.
Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the exercise price payable per share under each outstanding option, provided the aggregate exercise price payable for such securities 

  

 -16- 

 
shall remain the same. To the extent the actual holders of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock
in consummation of the Corporate Transaction, the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption of the outstanding options under the Automatic Option Grant Program, substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair
market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Corporate Transaction. 
 F.    The grant of options under the Automatic Option Grant Program shall in no way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge,
consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. 
  

	 	III.	REMAINING TERMS 

 The remaining terms of each
option granted under the Automatic Option Grant Program shall be the same as the terms in effect for option grants made under the Discretionary Option Grant Program. 
 ARTICLE FIVE 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  

	 	I.	FINANCING 

 The Plan Administrator may permit any
Optionee or Participant to pay the option exercise price under the Discretionary Option Grant Program or the purchase price of shares issued under the Stock Issuance Program by delivering a full-recourse, interest-bearing promissory note payable in
one or more installments. The terms of any such promissory note (including the interest rate and the terms of repayment) shall be established by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion. In no event may the maximum credit available to the
Optionee or Participant exceed the sum of (i) the aggregate option exercise price or purchase price payable for the purchased shares (less the par value of such shares) plus (ii) any Federal, state and local income and employment tax
liability incurred by the Optionee or the Participant in connection with the option exercise or share purchase. 
  

	 	II.	TAX WITHHOLDING 

 A.    The
Corporation’s obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of options or the issuance or vesting of such shares under the Plan shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable Federal, state and local income and
employment tax withholding requirements. 
 B.    The Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, provide any or all
holders of Non-Statutory Options or unvested shares of Common Stock under the Plan (other than the options granted or the shares issued under the Automatic Option Grant Program) with the right to use shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of all or
part of the Withholding Taxes to which such holders may 

  

 -17- 

 
become subject in connection with the exercise of their options or the vesting of their shares. Such right may be provided to any such holder in either or
both of the following formats: 
 1.    Stock Withholding: The election to have the Corporation withhold, from
the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon the exercise of such Non-Statutory Option or the vesting of such shares, a portion of those shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the percentage of the Withholding Taxes (not to exceed
one hundred percent (100%)) designated by the holder. 
 2.    Stock Delivery: The election to deliver to
the Corporation, at the time the Non-Statutory Option is exercised or the shares vest, one or more shares of Common Stock previously acquired by such holder (other than in connection with the option exercise or share vesting triggering the
Withholding Taxes) with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the percentage of the Withholding Taxes (not to exceed one hundred percent (100%)) designated by the holder. 
  

	 	III.	EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN 

 A.    The Plan shall become effective immediately on the Plan Effective Date. Options may be granted under the Discretionary Option Grant at any time on or after the Plan Effective Date, and the initial option grants
under the Automatic Option Grant Program shall also be made on the Plan Effective Date to any non-employee Board members eligible for such grants at that time. However, no options granted under the Plan may be exercised, and no shares shall be
issued under the Plan, until the Plan is approved by the Corporation’s stockholders. If such stockholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months after the Plan Effective Date, then all options previously granted under this Plan
shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, and no further options shall be granted and no shares shall be issued under the Plan. 
 B.    The Plan shall serve as the successor to the Predecessor Plan, and no further option grants or direct stock issuances shall be made under the Predecessor Plan after the Plan Effective Date. All options outstanding
under the Predecessor Plan on the Plan Effective Date shall be incorporated into the Plan at that time and shall be treated as outstanding options under the Plan. However, each outstanding option so incorporated shall continue to be governed solely
by the terms of the documents evidencing such option, and no provision of the Plan shall be deemed to affect or otherwise modify the rights or obligations of the holders of such incorporated options with respect to their acquisition of shares of
Common Stock. 
 C.    One or more provisions of the Plan, including (without limitation) the option/vesting acceleration
provisions of Article Two relating to Corporate Transactions and Changes in Control, may, in the Plan Administrator’s discretion, be extended to one or more options incorporated from the Predecessor Plan which do not otherwise contain such
provisions. 
 D.    The Plan shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) March 31, 2010 (ii) the
date on which all shares available for issuance under the Plan shall have been issued as fully vested shares or (iii) the termination of all outstanding options in connection with a Corporate Transaction. Should the Plan terminate on
March 31, 2010 then all option grants and unvested stock 

  

 -18- 

 
issuances outstanding at that time shall continue to have force and effect in accordance with the provisions of the documents evidencing such grants or
issuances. 
  

	 	IV.	AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN 

 A.    The Board shall have complete and exclusive power and authority to amend or modify the Plan in any or all respects. However, no such amendment or modification shall adversely affect the rights and obligations with
respect to stock options or unvested stock issuances at the time outstanding under the Plan unless the Optionee or the Participant consents to such amendment or modification. In addition, certain amendments may require stockholder approval pursuant
to applicable laws or regulations. 
 B.    Options to purchase shares of Common Stock may be granted under the
Discretionary Option Grant Program and shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program that are in each instance in excess of the number of shares then available for issuance under the Plan, provided any excess shares actually
issued under those programs shall be held in escrow until there is obtained stockholder approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan. If such stockholder approval is not
obtained within twelve (12) months after the date the first such excess issuances are made, then (i) any unexercised options granted on the basis of such excess shares shall terminate and cease to be outstanding and (ii) the
Corporation shall promptly refund to the Optionees and the Participants the exercise or purchase price paid for any excess shares issued under the Plan and held in escrow, together with interest (at the applicable Short Term Federal Rate) for the
period the shares were held in escrow, and such shares shall thereupon be automatically cancelled and cease to be outstanding. 
  

	 	V.	USE OF PROCEEDS 

 Any cash proceeds received by the
Corporation from the sale of shares of Common Stock under the Plan shall be used for general corporate purposes.

Program shall be subject to the Corporation’s procurement of all approvals and permits required by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Plan, the stock options granted under it and the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to
it. 
 B.    No shares of Common Stock or other assets shall be issued or delivered under the Plan unless and until there
shall have been compliance with all applicable requirements of Federal and state securities laws, including the filing and effectiveness of the Form S-8 registration statement for the shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan, and all
applicable listing requirements of any stock exchange (or the Nasdaq National Market, if applicable) on which Common Stock is then listed for trading. 
  

 -19- 

	 	VII.	NO EMPLOYMENT/SERVICE RIGHTS 

 Nothing in the Plan
shall confer upon the Optionee or the Participant any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or
retaining such person) or of the Optionee or the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate such person’s Service at any time for any reason, with or without cause. 
  

	 	VIII.	INFORMATION TO OPTIONEES 

 The Corporation shall
provide to each Optionee and to each individual who acquires Shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan, not less frequently than annually during the period such Optionee has one or more Options or Stock Issuances outstanding, and, in the case of
an individual who acquires Shares pursuant to the Plan, during the period such individual owns such Shares, copies of annual financial statements. The Corporation shall not be required to provide such statements to key employees whose duties in

 A-5Change of Control Employment Agreement

 Exhibit 10.22 
 CHANGE OF CONTROL EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 AGREEMENT by and between Crescent Banking Company
(the “Company”) and Bonnie Boling (“Executive”), dated as of the 18th day of November 2004. 
 The Board of Directors of
the Company (the “Board”), has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to assure that the Company will have the continued dedication of Executive, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or
occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined below) of the Company. The Board believes it is imperative to diminish the inevitable distraction of Executive by virtue of the personal uncertainties and risks created by a pending or threatened Change
of Control and to encourage Executive’s full attention and dedication to the Company currently and in the event of any threatened or pending Change of Control, and to provide Executive with compensation and benefits arrangements upon a Change
of Control which ensure that the compensation and benefits expectations of Executive will be satisfied and which are competitive with those of other corporations. Therefore, in order to accomplish these objectives, the Board has caused the Company
to enter into this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS: 
 1. Certain Definitions. 
 (a) The “Effective Date” shall mean the first date during the Change of Control Period (as defined in Section l(b)) on which a Change of Control (as defined in Section 2) occurs. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, if a Change of Control occurs during the Change of Control Period and if Executive’s employment with the Company has been terminated either by the Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason (as such terms are defined
in Section 5) within six months prior to the date on which the Change of Control occurs, and unless it is reasonably demonstrated by the Company that such termination of employment (i) was not at the request of a third party who has taken
steps reasonably calculated to effect the Change of Control and (ii) did not otherwise arise in connection with or anticipation of the Change of Control, then for all purposes of this Agreement the “Effective Date” shall mean the date
immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment. 
 (b) The “Change of Control Period” shall mean
the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the third anniversary of the date hereof; provided, however, that commencing on the date one year after the date hereof, and on each annual anniversary of such date (such date and each annual
anniversary thereof shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Renewal Date”), unless previously terminated, the Change of Control Period shall be automatically extended so as to terminate three years from such Renewal Date, unless at least
60 days prior to the Renewal Date the Company shall give notice to Executive that the Change of Control Period shall not be so extended. 

 2. Change of Control. For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” shall
mean the occurrence of any of the following events: 
 (a) individuals who, at the Effective Date, constitute the Board (the
“Incumbent Directors”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director after the Effective Date and whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at
least a majority of the Incumbent Directors then on the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Corporation in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without written objection to such nomination)
shall be an Incumbent Director; provided, however, that no individual initially elected or nominated as a director of the Corporation as a result of an actual or threatened election contest (as described in Rule 14a-11 under the 1934
Act (“Election Contest”) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any “person” (as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the 1934 Act and as used in Section 13(d)(3) and
14(d)(2) of the 1934 Act) other than the Board (“Proxy Contest”), including by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle any Election Contest or Proxy Contest, shall be deemed an Incumbent Director; 
 (b) any person becomes a “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly, of securities
of the Corporation representing 35% or more of the combined voting power of the Corporation’s then outstanding securities eligible to vote for the election of the Board (the “Company Voting Securities”); provided,
however, that the event described in this paragraph (ii) shall not be deemed to be a Change in Control of the Corporation by virtue of any of the following acquisitions: (A) any acquisition by a person who is on the Effective Date
the beneficial owner of 35% or more of the outstanding Company Voting Securities, (B) an acquisition by the Corporation which reduces the number of Company Voting Securities outstanding and thereby results in any person acquiring beneficial
ownership of more than 35% of the outstanding Company Voting Securities; provided, that if after such acquisition by the Corporation such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Company Voting Securities that increases the
percentage of outstanding Company Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person, a Change in Control of the Corporation shall then occur, (C) an acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the
Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary, (D) an acquisition by an underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, or (E) an acquisition pursuant to a Non-Qualifying Transaction (as defined in
paragraph (iii)); or 
 (c) the consummation of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or similar
form of corporate transaction involving the Corporation that requires the approval of the Corporation’s shareholders, whether for such transaction or the issuance of securities in the transaction (a “Reorganization”), or the sale or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets to an entity that is not an affiliate of the Corporation (a “Sale”), unless immediately following such Reorganization or Sale: (A) more than 50% of the
total voting power of (x) the corporation resulting from such Reorganization or the corporation which has acquired all or substantially all of the 

  

 - 2 - 

 
assets of the Corporation (in either case, the “Surviving Corporation”), or (y) if applicable, the ultimate parent corporation that directly
or indirectly has beneficial ownership of 100% of the voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Surviving Corporation (the “Parent Corporation”), is represented by the Corporation Voting Securities that were outstanding
immediately prior to such Reorganization or Sale (or, if applicable, is represented by shares into which such Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Reorganization or Sale), and such voting power among the holders thereof is in
substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to the Reorganization or Sale, (B) no person (other than (x) the Corporation, (y) any employee benefit
plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent Corporation, or (z) a person who immediately prior to the Reorganization or Sale was the beneficial owner of 35% or more of the outstanding Company
Voting Securities) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 35% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the
Surviving Corporation), and (C) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) following the consummation of the Reorganization or Sale
were Incumbent Directors at the time of the Board’s approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Reorganization or Sale (any Reorganization or Sale which satisfies all of the criteria specified in (A), (B) and
(C) above shall be deemed to be a “Non-Qualifying Transaction”); or 
 (d) approval by the shareholders of the
Corporation of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation. 
 3. Employment Period. The Company hereby agrees to
continue Executive in its employ of the Company, and Executive hereby agrees to remain in the employ of the Company subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the third
anniversary of such date (the “Employment Period”). 
 4. Terms of Employment. 
 (a) Position and Duties. 
 (i) During the Employment Period, (A) Executive’s position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties and responsibilities shall be at least commensurate in all
material respects with the most significant of those held, exercised and assigned at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date, and (B) Executive’s services shall be performed at the location where
Executive was employed immediately preceding the Effective Date or any office or location less than 35 miles from such location. 
 (ii) During the Employment Period, and excluding any periods of vacation and sick leave to which Executive is entitled, Executive agrees to devote 

  

 - 3 - 

 
reasonable attention and time during normal business hours to the business and affairs of the Company and, to the extent necessary to discharge the
responsibilities assigned to Executive hereunder, to use Executive’s reasonable best efforts to perform faithfully and efficiently such responsibilities. During the Employment Period it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for Executive
to (A) serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees, (B) engage in other business activities that do not represent a conflict of interest with the full execution of his duties to the Company, and (C) manage personal
investments, so long as such activities do not significantly interfere with the performance of Executive’s responsibilities as an employee of the Company in accordance with this Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the
extent that any such activities have been conducted by Executive prior to the Effective Date, the continued conduct of such activities (or the conduct of activities similar in nature and scope thereto) subsequent to the Effective Date shall not
thereafter be deemed to interfere with the performance of Executive’s responsibilities to the Company. 
 (b)
Compensation. 
 (i) Base Salary. During the Employment Period, Executive shall receive an annual base salary
(“Annual Base Salary”), which shall be paid at a monthly rate, at least equal to 12 times the highest monthly base salary paid or payable, including any base salary which has been earned but deferred, to Executive by the Company and its
affiliated companies in respect of the 12-month period immediately preceding the month in which the Effective Date occurs. During the Employment Period, the Annual Base Salary shall be reviewed no more than 12 months after the last salary increase
awarded to Executive prior to the Effective Date and thereafter at least annually. Any increase in Annual Base Salary shall not serve to limit or reduce any other obligation to Executive under this Agreement. Annual Base Salary shall not be reduced
after any such increase and the term Annual Base Salary as utilized in this Agreement shall refer to Annual Base Salary as so increased. As used in this Agreement, the term “affiliated companies” shall include any company controlled by,
controlling or under common control with the Company. 
 (ii) Annual Bonus. In addition to Annual Base Salary,
Executive shall be awarded, for each fiscal year ending during the Employment Period, an annual bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) in cash at least equal to Executive’s highest annual bonus for the last three full fiscal years prior to the
Effective Date (annualized in the event that Executive was not employed by the Company for the whole of such fiscal year). Each such Annual Bonus shall be paid no later than the end of the third month of the fiscal year next following the fiscal
year for which the Annual Bonus is awarded, unless Executive shall elect to defer the receipt of such Annual Bonus. 
 (iii)
Incentive, Savings and Retirement Plans. During the Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled to participate in all incentive, savings and retirement plans, practices, policies and programs applicable generally to senior executive
officers of the Company and its affiliated companies (“Peer Executives”), but in no event shall such plans, practices, policies and programs provide Executive with incentive 

  

 - 4 - 

 
opportunities, savings opportunities and retirement benefit opportunities, in each case, less favorable, in the aggregate, than the most favorable of those
provided by the Company and its affiliated companies for Executive under such plans, practices, policies and programs as in effect at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or if more favorable to Executive,
those provided generally at any time after the Effective Date to Peer Executives. 
 (iv) Welfare Benefit Plans. During
the Employment Period, Executive and/or Executive’s family, as the case may be, shall be eligible for participation in and shall receive all benefits under welfare benefit plans, practices, policies and programs provided by the Company and its
affiliated companies (including, without limitation, medical, prescription, dental, disability, employee life, group life, accidental death and travel accident insurance plans and programs) to the extent applicable generally to Peer Executives.

 (v) Expenses. During the Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all
reasonable expenses incurred by Executive in accordance with the policies, practices and procedures of the Company applicable to Peer Executives. 
 (vi) Fringe Benefits. During the Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled to fringe benefits in accordance with the plans, practices, programs and policies of the Company applicable to Peer Executives.

 5. Termination of Employment. 
 (a) Death or Disability. Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon Executive’s death during the Employment Period. If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of
Executive has occurred during the Employment Period (pursuant to the definition of Disability set forth below), it may give to Executive written notice in accordance with Section 13(b) of this Agreement of its intention to terminate
Executive’s employment. In such event, Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such notice by Executive (the “Disability Effective Date”), provided that, within the 30
days after such receipt, Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of Executive’s duties. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean the inability of Executive, as determined by the Board, to perform the
essential functions of his regular duties and responsibilities, with or without reasonable accommodation, due to a medically determinable physical or mental illness which has lasted (or can reasonably be expected to last) for a continuous period of
six (6) months during any continuous twelve (12) month period. 
  

 - 5 - 

 (b) Cause. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment during the
Employment Period with or without Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: 
 (i) the willful and
continued failure of Executive to perform substantially Executive’s duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness, and specifically excluding any failure by Executive, after
reasonable efforts, to meet performance expectations), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to Executive by the Board of Directors of the Company which specifically identifies the manner in which such Board believes that
Executive has not substantially performed Executive’s duties, or 
 (ii) the willful engaging by Executive in illegal
conduct or gross misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company. 
 For purposes of this provision, no act or
failure to act, on the part of Executive, shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of
the Company. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or based upon the advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by Executive
in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. The cessation of employment of Executive shall not be deemed to be for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative
vote of not less than three-fourths of the entire membership of the Board of the Company at a meeting of such Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice is provided to Executive and Executive is given an opportunity, together
with counsel, to be heard before such Board), finding that, in the good faith opinion of such Board, Executive is guilty of the conduct described in subparagraph (i) or (ii) above, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

 (c) Good Reason. Executive’s employment may be terminated by Executive for Good Reason or for no reason. For
purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean: 
 (i) without the written consent of Executive, the
assignment to Executive of any duties inconsistent in any material respect with Executive’s position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities as in effect on the Effective Date, or
any other action by the Company which results in a diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the
Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by Executive; 
 (ii) the Company’s requiring Executive, without
his consent, to be based at any office or location that is more than 35 miles from the location where Executive was employed immediately prior to the Effective Date; 
 (iii) a reduction in Executive’s Base Salary and benefits as in effect on the Effective Date or as the same may be increased from
time to time; 
  

 - 6 - 

 (iv) the failure by the Company (a) to continue in effect any compensation plan in
which Executive participates as of the Effective Date that is material to Executive’s total compensation, unless an equitable arrangement (embodied in an ongoing substitute or alternative plan) has been made with respect to such plan, or
(b) to continue Executive’s participation therein (or in such substitute or alternative plan) on a basis not materially less favorable, both in terms of the amount of benefits provided and the level of Executive’s participation
relative to other participants; or 
 (v) any failure by the Company to comply with and satisfy Section 12(c) of this
Agreement; or 
 (vi) the material breach of this Agreement by the Company. 
 For purposes of this Section 5(c), any good faith determination of “Good Reason” made by Executive shall be conclusive. Anything in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, a termination by Executive for any reason during the 30-day period immediately following the first anniversary of the Effective Date shall be deemed to be a termination for Good Reason for all purposes of
this Agreement. 
 (d) Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company for Cause, or by Executive for Good
Reason, shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” means a written notice which (i) indicates the
specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment under the
provision so indicated and (iii) specifies the termination date (which date shall be not less than 60 days after the giving of such notice). If a dispute exists concerning the provisions of this Agreement that apply to Executive’s
termination of employment, the parties shall pursue the resolution of such dispute with reasonable diligence. Within five (5) days of such a resolution, any party owing any payments pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall make all
such payments together with interest accrued thereon at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The failure by either party to set forth in the Notice of Termination
any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of such party hereunder or preclude such party from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing such party’s rights hereunder.

 (e) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” means (i) if Executive’s employment is terminated
other than by reason of death or Disability, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination, or any later date specified therein, or (ii) if Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, the Date of Termination
will be the date of death or the Disability Effective Date, as the case may be. 
  

 - 7 - 

 6. Obligations of the Company upon Termination. 
 (a) Good Reason; Other Than for Cause, Death or Disability. If, during the Employment Period, the Company shall terminate
Executive’s employment other than for Cause or Disability, or Executive shall terminate employment for Good Reason, then in consideration of Executive’s services rendered prior to such termination: 
 (i) the Company shall pay to Executive in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days after the Date of Termination the aggregate of
the following amounts: 
 A. the sum of (1) Executive’s Base Salary through the Date of Termination to the extent
not theretofore paid, (2) the product of (x) Executive’s highest annual bonus from the Company, including any bonus or portion thereof which has been earned but deferred, for any of the last three full fiscal years prior to the Date
of Termination (such amount being referred to as the “Highest Annual Bonus”) and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the current fiscal year through the Date of Termination, and the denominator of which is
365, (3) any accrued vacation pay to the extent not theretofore paid, and (4) unless Executive has elected a different payout date in a prior deferral election, any compensation previously deferred by Executive (together with any accrued
interest or earnings thereon) to the extent not theretofore paid (the sum of the amounts described in clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Accrued Obligations”); and 
 B. the amount equal to two (2) times Executive’s Annual Base Salary at the rate in effect on the Date of Termination;

 (ii) for a period of two (2) years from the Date of Termination, the Company shall continue benefits to Executive
and/or Executive’s family that are at least equal, on an after-tax basis, to those which would have been provided to them in accordance with the medical and other welfare plans described in Section 4(b)(iv) of this Agreement if
Executive’s employment had not been terminated; provided, however, that if Executive becomes re-employed with another employer and is eligible to receive medical or other welfare benefits under another employer provided plan, the medical and
other welfare benefits described herein shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan during such applicable period of eligibility; and 
 (iii) all unvested stock options to acquire stock of the Company and all awards of restricted stock of the Company held by Executive as of the Date of Termination shall be immediately and fully vested as of the Date
of Termination and, in the case of stock options, shall be fully exercisable as of the Date of Termination; and 
 (iv) to the
extent not theretofore paid or provided, the Company shall timely pay or provide to Executive any other amounts or benefits required to be paid or provided or which Executive is eligible to receive under any plan, program, policy or 

  

 - 8 - 

 
practice or contract or agreement of the Company and its affiliated companies (such other amounts and benefits shall be hereinafter referred to as the
“Other Benefits”). 
 (b) Death or Disability. If Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of
Executive’s death or Disability during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive or Executive’s legal representatives under this Agreement, other than for payment of Accrued Obligations
and the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits. Accrued Obligations shall be paid to Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination. With respect to the provision of
Other Benefits, the term Other Benefits as used in this Section 6(b) shall include, without limitation, and Executive or Executive’s estate and/or beneficiaries shall be entitled to receive, benefits under such plans, programs, practices
and policies relating to death or disability, if any, as are applicable to Executive on the Date of Termination. 
 (c)
Cause or Voluntary Termination without Good Reason. If Executive’s employment shall be terminated for Cause during the Employment Period, or if Executive voluntarily terminates employment during the Employment Period without Good Reason,
this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive, other than for payment of Accrued Obligations (excluding the pro-rata bonus described in clause 2 of Section 6(a)(i)) and the timely payment or provision of Other
Benefits. 
 (d) Expiration of Employment Period. If Executive’s employment shall be terminated due to the normal
expiration of the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive, other than for payment of Accrued Obligations and the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits. 
 7. Non-exclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit Executive’s continuing or future participation in any plan,
program, policy or practice provided by the Company or any of its affiliated companies and for which Executive may qualify, nor, subject to Section 13(f), shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as Executive may have under
any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies. Amounts which are vested benefits or which Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of or any contract or agreement with the
Company or any of its affiliated companies at or subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement except as explicitly modified by this Agreement. 

8. Full Settlement. The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations
hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against Executive or others. In no event shall Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any
other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to Executive under any of the provisions of this 

  

 - 9 - 

 
Agreement and, except as explicitly provided herein, such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not Executive obtains other employment. 
 9. Costs of Enforcement. In any action taken in good faith relating to the enforcement of this Agreement or any provision herein, Executive shall
be entitled to be paid any and all costs and expenses incurred by him in enforcing or establishing his rights thereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether suit be brought or not, and whether or not incurred in
trial, bankruptcy or appellate proceedings. Executive shall also be entitled to be paid all reasonable legal fees and expenses, if any, incurred in connection with any tax audit or proceeding to the extent attributable to the application of
Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code to any payment or benefit hereunder. Such payments shall be made within five (5) business days after delivery of Executive’s respective written requests for payment accompanied with such
evidence of fees and expenses incurred as the Company reasonably may require. 
 10. Confidential Information. Executive shall hold in
a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its affiliated companies, and their respective businesses, which shall have been obtained by Executive
during Executive’s employment by the Company or any of its affiliated companies and which shall not be or become public knowledge (other than by acts by Executive or representatives of Executive in violation of this Agreement). After
termination of Executive’s employment with the Company or such affiliated companies, Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process, communicate or divulge any such
information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those designated by it. 
 11. Certain Additional Payments by the
Company. 
 (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding and except as set forth below, in the event it
shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to
any additional payments required under this Section 11) (a “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by Executive with respect to such excise tax
(such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount
such that after payment by Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax
imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. 
  

 - 10 - 

 (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 11(c), all determinations required to be
made under this Section 11, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be used in arriving at such determination, shall be made by a certified public accounting firm
as may be designated by Executive (the “Accounting Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and Executive within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from Executive that there has been a Payment,
or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change of Control, Executive shall appoint another nationally recognized
accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up
Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 11, shall-be paid by the Company to Executive within five days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm’s determination. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the
Company and Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made
by the Company should have been made (“Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 11(c) and Executive thereafter is required
to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive. 
 (c) Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the
payment by the Company of the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than ten business days after Executive is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such
claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which it gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the
date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, Executive shall: 
 (i) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim, 
 (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time,
including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company, 
 (iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to contest such claim, and 
  

 - 11 - 

 (iv) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim;

 provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in
connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of
costs and expenses. Without limitation of the foregoing provisions of this Section 11(c), the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative
appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and
Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs
Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to Executive, on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax
(including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance; and further provided that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment
of taxes for the taxable year of Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to
which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority. 
 (d) If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 11(c), Executive becomes entitled to
receive any refund with respect to such claim, Executive shall (subject to the Company’s complying with the requirements of Section 11(c)) promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited
thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 11(c), a determination is made that- Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim
and the Company does not notify Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such determination, then such advance shall-be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the
amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid. 
 12. Successors.

 (a) This Agreement is personal to Executive and without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by
Executive otherwise than by 

  

 - 12 - 

 
will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s legal representatives.

 (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns.

 (c) The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to
all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken
place. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise.

 13. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Waiver. Failure of either party to insist, in one or more instances, on performance by the other in strict accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver or
relinquishment of any right granted in this Agreement or of the future performance of any such term or condition or of any other term or condition of this Agreement, unless such waiver is contained in a writing signed by the party making the waiver.

 (b) Severability. If any provision or covenant, or any part thereof, of this Agreement should be held by any court
to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, either in whole or in part, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions or covenants, or any part thereof, of this
Agreement, all of which shall remain in full force and effect. 
 (c) Status Prior to Effective Date. Executive and the
Company acknowledge that, except as may otherwise be provided under any other written agreement between Executive and the Company, the employment of Executive by the Company is “at will” and, subject to Section 1(a) hereof, prior to
the Effective Date, Executive’s employment may be terminated by either Executive or the Company at any time prior to the Effective Date, in which case Executive shall have no further rights under this Agreement. However, absent termination of
employment of Executive, this Agreement may not be terminated by the Company during the Change of Control Period and before the Effective Date. From and after the Effective Date, this Agreement shall supersede any other agreement between the parties
