Section 3.5    Quality. 

(a)    Quality Standards and Use Guidelines. Licensee acknowledges and is familiar with the high

 Section 3.6    Notices; Patent Marking.
Licensee shall ensure that all use of Licensed Intellectual Property hereunder is accompanied by or marked with the appropriate proprietary rights notices, symbols, and legends as may be reasonably necessary under applicable law to maintain the
Intellectual Property Rights and Licensor’s proprietary rights therein and in such order and manner as may be specified by Licensor. Without limiting the foregoing, Licensee shall comply with the patent marking provisions of 35 U.S.C. §
287(a) by marking all patented products covered by any patents licensed hereunder with the word “patent” or the abbreviation “pat.” and either the relevant patent numbers or a web address that is freely accessible to the public
and that lists the relevant patent numbers. 
 Section 3.7    Enforcement of Intellectual
Property Rights. 
 (a)    Notice of Infringement or Third-Party Claims. If either Party
becomes aware of any actual, suspected, or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or other violation of any Licensed Intellectual Property and the Intellectual Property Rights by any third party in the Territory, or (b) any claim that any
patent licensed hereunder is invalid or unenforceable, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party and provide it with all details of such infringement or claim, as applicable, that are known by such Party. 

(b)    Right to Bring Action or Defend. Licensor shall have the first right, but not the obligation,
to bring an infringement action to enforce any Licensed Intellectual Property Rights, defend any declaratory judgment action concerning any Licensed Intellectual Property, and take any other lawful action reasonably necessary to protect, enforce, or
defend any Licensed Intellectual Property and Licensed Intellectual Property Rights, and control the conduct thereof. If Licensor does not bring action with respect to any commercially significant third-party infringement within one hundred eighty
(180) days of a request by Licensee, or earlier notifies Licensee in writing of its intent not to do so, then Licensee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring such an action and to control the conduct thereof. 

(c)    Cooperation, Recovery, and Settlement. In the event a Party undertakes the enforcement or
defense of any Licensed Intellectual Property Rights in accordance with this Section 3.7: 

(i)    the other Party shall provide all reasonable cooperation and assistance, at the enforcing
Party’s expense, including providing access to relevant documents and other evidence, making its employees available at reasonable business hours, and being joined as a party to such action as necessary to establish standing; 

(ii)    any recovery, damages, or settlement derived from such suit, action, or other proceeding will be
applied first in satisfaction of any costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, of the enforcing Party, with any remaining amounts shared seventy five percent (75%) Licensor and twenty-five percent (25%) Licensee; and 

(iii)    such Party may settle any such suit, action, or other proceeding, whether by consent order,
settlement, or other voluntary final disposition, without the prior written approval of the other Party, provided that a Party shall not settle any such suit, action, or other proceeding in a manner that adversely affects the rights of the other
Party with respect to the Licensed Technology or Licensed Intellectual Property Rights without the other Party’s prior written consent.

 ARTICLE 4 

ROYALTIES AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS 

Section 4.1    Royalty. In consideration for the licenses granted under this Agreement,
Licensee shall pay a royalty to Licensor at the rate of zero point five percent (0.5%) of Net Sales. 

Section 4.2    Periodic Adjustment. The royalty percentage may be reviewed periodically by the
Parties to ensure that it continues to reflect the arm’s length value of the licenses and rights granted to Licensee under the terms of this Agreement. 

Section 4.3    Invoicing and Payments. Licensor shall issue an invoice at the end of each
month, setting forth the Net Sales and total royalties due for that month. Licensee shall make payment for each invoice within thirty (30) days of the invoice statement date. Licensee may offset amounts due under this Agreement by outstanding
balances owed Licensee from Licensor. 
 Section 4.4    Taxes. Each Party hereto shall be
responsible for any and all taxes levied as a result of the performance of each Party’s respective activities under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, either Party may withhold from payments such taxes as are required to be withheld
under applicable law, and shall not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to such withholding. If any tax is withheld by a Party (“Withholding Party”), such Withholding Party shall provide to the other Party
(“Payee”) receipts or other evidence of such withholding and payment thereof to the appropriate tax authorities. The Withholding Party agrees not to withhold any taxes, or to withhold at a reduced rate, to the extent Payee is
entitled to an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, as appropriate, withholding under any applicable income tax treaty, provided that the Payee has provided the Withholding Party with appropriate certifications establishing such exemption or
reduction in rate. If, after any remuneration is paid, it is determined by the appropriate taxing authorities that additional withholding taxes are due with respect to such withholding taxes, Payee shall directly pay such taxes or reimburse
Withholding Party for any payment of such withholding taxes that Withholding Party makes (and shall provide the Withholding Party with receipts or other evidence of such payment thereof to the appropriate tax authorities). 

Section 4.5    Audits. Licensee shall keep and maintain complete and accurate records of the
transactions underlying the payments to be made hereunder for at least five (5) years, and shall, promptly upon request, allow Licensor or its designee to inspect, audit and make extracts or copies of such records for the purpose of
ascertaining the correctness of such payments. If any examination and audit discloses any deficiency, Licensee shall pay the deficiency plus interest thereon at the short-term Applicable Federal Rate under U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.482-2(a), compounded quarterly from the date of the deficiency, to Licensor. 

  
 6 

 Section 4.6    Currency. All payments
contemplated hereby or made by Licensee in connection herewith shall be made in the lawful currency of the United States or as mutually agreed to by the Parties. 

ARTICLE 5 
 LIMITATION OF
LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION 
 Section 5.1    LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. EXCEPT AS
OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND SECTION 5.2, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY,
WHETHER FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF ANTICIPATED PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, OR LOSS OF USE, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES. 
 Section 5.2    Third Party Infringement Claims. The term “Infringement
Claim” shall mean and represent any claim that any Licensed Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Rights infringe any third party’s intellectual property rights, including without limitation any patent, trade secret,
copyrights, trademarks or trade names. Licensor shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Licensee and its officers, directors, shareholders, Affiliates, agents, servants, representatives, and employees from and against all claims, demands, actions,
proceedings, liabilities, losses, and damages, and all costs and expenses connected therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of any actual, threatened or alleged Infringement Claim. 

ARTICLE 6 
 CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION 
 Section 6.1    Definition of Confidential Information. Confidential
Information means all non-public, confidential, or proprietary information disclosed before, on or after the Effective Date, by one Party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (the
“Receiving Party”), including but not limited to information: (i) which is marked with “confidential” or a similar legend, or (ii) which is described orally and designated as confidential, or (iii) which
would, under the circumstances, be understood by a reasonable person to be confidential (“Confidential Information”). Any unmarked or oral information relating to the operation of Restaurants conveyed during a meeting between
employees of the Parties discussing Confidential Information will be Confidential Information by default whether or not declared confidential and whether or not it is subsequently described in writing. Upon subsequent disclosure of previously
disclosed Confidential Information to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing Party, the information will remain Confidential Information even if not identified as confidential information at the subsequent disclosure. 

Section 6.2    Confidentiality Obligations. The Receiving Party shall retain such Confidential
Information in confidence, and shall not disclose it to any Third Party or use it for any purpose other than for purposes of this Agreement without the Disclosing Party’s 

  
 7 

 
prior written consent. Each Party shall use at least the same procedures and degree of care with respect to such Confidential Information which it uses to protect its own confidential information
of like importance, and in no event less than reasonable care. The Receiving Party will immediately give written notice to the Disclosing Party of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, and the
Receiving Party will assist the Disclosing Party in remedying such unauthorized use or disclosure. 

Section 6.3    Compelled Disclosure. In the event that the Receiving Party or (to the knowledge
of the Receiving Party) any of its representatives is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoenas, civil investigative demands or other similar processes) to
disclose any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, the Receiving Party shall provide the Disclosing Party with prompt written notice of any such request or requirement sufficiently timely to allow the Disclosing Party adequate
time to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. 

Section 6.4    Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information will not
include information to the extent that such information: 
 (a)    was generally available to the public
at the time of its disclosure to the Receiving Party hereunder; 
 (b)    became generally available to
the public after its disclosure other than through an act or omission of the Receiving Party in breach of this Agreement; or 

(c)    was subsequently lawfully and independently disclosed to the Receiving Party by a person other than
the Disclosing Party without an obligation of confidentiality. 
 Section 6.5    Contractors.
The Disclosing Party must give prior written approval to the form and terms of any contract that involves the use of any Disclosing Party Confidential Information by, or the disclosure of any Disclosing Party Confidential Information to, any Third
Party (“Independent Contractor Agreement”). To the extent directed by the Disclosing Party, such disclosure will be conditioned upon such Contractor’s entering into a nondisclosure agreement (“Confidential Disclosure
Agreement”) provided by the Disclosing Party, which agreement will take precedence over the Independent Contractor Agreement. 

Section 6.6    Ownership of Materials. Each Receiving Party agrees that all Confidential
Information received is and will remain the property of the Disclosing Party and that such shall not be copied or reproduced without the express permission of the Disclosing Party, except for such copies as may be reasonably necessary in order to
accomplish the purpose of this Agreement. Upon written request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall immediately discontinue all use of all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, and shall, at the Disclosing Party’s
option, either destroy or return to the Disclosing Party all hard copies in its possession of such Confidential Information and any derivatives thereof (including all hard copies of any translation, modification, compilation, abridgement or other
form in which the Confidential Information has been recast, transformed or adapted), and to 

  
 8 

 
delete all online electronic copies thereof; provided, however, that the Receiving Party may retain one (1) archival copy of the Confidential Information, which shall be used only in case of
a dispute concerning this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party shall be required to destroy or alter any computer-based back-up files generated in the normal course of its business, provided
that such files are maintained confidential in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the full period provided for in Section 7.5 (Confidential Information). 

Section 6.7    Equitable Remedies. Since unauthorized use or disclosure of the Disclosing
Party’s Confidential Information will diminish the value to the Disclosing Party of its proprietary interests in the Confidential Information, if the Receiving Party breaches any of its obligations under this Article 6 (CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION), the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to equitable relief to protect its interests therein, including, but not limited to, injunctive relief, as well as money damages. 

ARTICLE 7 
 TERM AND
TERMINATION 
 Section 7.1    Term. This Agreement shall enter into effect on the
Effective Date and shall remain in full force and effect until terminated upon any terms and under any conditions that are mutually agreed upon in writing by the Parties, or terminated in accordance with Section 7.2 (Termination for Cause).

 Section 7.2    Termination for Cause. This Agreement may be terminated by either Party, if
the other Party is in material breach of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days following receipt of notice of such breach. 

Section 7.3    Effect of Termination. Upon any termination of this Agreement, Licensee shall:

 (a)    immediately cease to exercise all rights and licenses granted under this Agreement; 

(b)    within thirty (30) days of the date of termination, at the option of Licensor, comply with the
provisions of Section 6.6 (Ownership of Materials); and 
 (c)    upon request by Licensor, Licensee
shall furnish Licensor with a certificate signed by an executive officer of Licensee verifying that the same has been done. 

Section 7.4    Final Payment. Upon any termination, Licensee shall pay royalties to Licensor
within thirty (30) days thereafter in accordance with Section 4.1 (Royalty) and Section 4.3 (Invoicing and Payments). In the event Licensee fails to promptly discontinue use of any Intellectual Property Rights as required by
Section 7.3 (Effect of Termination), royalties shall continue to accrue in accordance with Section 4.1 (Royalty) until such use is actually discontinued. The continuation of royalties shall not be considered a license or otherwise
prejudice or preclude the availability of any other remedies available to Licensor for Licensee’s breach of this Agreement. 

  
 9 

 Section 7.5    Confidential Information.
With respect to each item of Confidential Information transferred under this Agreement, the provisions of Article 6 (CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION) shall remain in effect until such time as the Receiving Party can demonstrate, using only legally
admissible evidence, that such information is publicly known or was made generally available through no action or inaction of the Receiving Party. 

Section 7.6    Survival. The terms and conditions of the following provisions shall survive
termination or expiration of this Agreement: Article 1 (DEFINITIONS), Article 4 (ROYALTIES AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS), Article 5 (LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION), Article 6 (CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION), and Article 8 (GENERAL PROVISIONS), and
Section 3.1 (Retention of Legal Ownership), Section 3.2 (Reservation of Rights), Section 3.3 (Patent and Trademark Prosecution and Maintenance), Section 7.3 (Effect of Termination), Section 7.4 (Final Payment),
Section 7.5 (Confidential Information) and Section 7.6 (Survival). In addition, the termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not relieve either Party of any liability under this Agreement that accrued prior to such termination or
expiration. 
 ARTICLE 8 

GENERAL PROVISIONS

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, promises,
and obligations set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

2.2    Duties. During the Employment Term, the Executive shall devote substantially all of his business time and
attention to the performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder and will not engage in any other business, profession, or occupation for compensation or otherwise which would conflict or interfere with the performance of such services either

Executive’s duties and responsibilities to the Company as provided hereunder, including, but not limited to, the obligations set forth in Section 2 hereof.

applicable law. 
 4.6    Vacation; Paid Time-Off. During the Employment
Term, the Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation in accordance with the Company’s vacation policies, as in effect from time to time. The Executive shall receive other paid time-off in accordance

4.7    Business Expenses. The Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket business, entertainment, and travel expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with the performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder in accordance

 4.8    Indemnification. 

(a)    In the event that the Executive is made a party or threatened to be made a party to any action, suit, or

Provisions. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, any Annual Bonus, Equity Incentive Plan compensation, or any other compensation, paid to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement or
arrangement with the Company which is subject to recovery under any law, government regulation, or stock exchange listing requirement, will be subject to such deductions and clawback as may be required to be made pursuant to such law, government
regulation, or stock exchange listing requirement (or any policy adopted by the Company pursuant to any such law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement).

 5.    Termination of Employment. The Employment Term and the
Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated by either the Company or the Executive at any time and for any reason. Upon termination of the Executive’s employment during the Employment Term, the Executive shall be entitled to the
compensation and benefits described in this Section 5 and shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits from the Company or any of its affiliates. 

5.1    Expiration of the Term, For Cause or Without Good Reason. 

(a)    If the Executive’s employment is terminated upon the Executive’s failure to renew the Agreement in
accordance with Section 1, by the Company for Cause or by Executive without Good Reason, the Executive shall be entitled to receive: 

(i)    any accrued but unpaid Base Salary and accrued but unused vacation which shall be paid on the Termination Date (as
defined below) in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll procedures; 
 (ii)    any earned but unpaid
Annual Bonus in accordance with Section 4.2 herein; 
 (iii)    reimbursement for unreimbursed business expenses
properly incurred by the Executive, which shall be subject to and paid in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy and Section 4.8 herein; and 

(iv)    such employee benefits, including such equity awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan, if any, to which the
Executive may be entitled as of the Termination Date; provided that, in no event shall the Executive be entitled to any payments in the nature of severance or termination payments except as specifically provided herein. 

Items 5.1(a)(i) through 5.1(a)(iv) are referred to herein collectively as the “Accrued Amounts.” 

(b)    For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: 

(i)    the Executive’s willful failure to perform his duties (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity
due to physical or mental illness); 
 (ii)    the Executive’s willful failure to comply with any valid and legal
directive of the Board; 
 (iii)    the Executive’s willful engagement in dishonesty, illegal conduct, or
misconduct, which is, in each case, injurious to the Company or its affiliates; 

  
 4 

 (iv)    the Executive’s embezzlement, misappropriation, or fraud,
whether or not related to the Executive’s employment with the Company; 
 (v)    the Executive’s conviction of
or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a crime that constitutes a felony (or state law equivalent) or a crime that constitutes a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; 

(vi)    the Executive’s violation of a material policy of the Company; 

(vii)    the Executive’s willful unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information (as defined below); 

(viii)    the Executive’s material breach of any material obligation under this Agreement or any other written
agreement between the Executive and the Company; or 
 (ix)    any material failure by the Executive to comply with the
Company’s written policies or rules, as they may be in effect from time to time during the Employment Term. 
 For purposes of this
provision, no act or failure to act on the part of the Executive shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or
omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or upon the advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or
omitted to be done, by the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. 
 (c)    For purposes of
this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following, in each case during the Employment Term without the Executive’s written consent:

all similarly situated executives in substantially the same proportions; 
 (ii)    any material breach by the Company
of any material provision of this Agreement; 
 (iii)    a material, adverse change in the Executive’s authority,
duties, or responsibilities (other than temporarily while the Executive is physically or mentally incapacitated or as required by applicable law) taking into account the Company’s size, status as a public company, and capitalization as of the
date of this Agreement; 

  
 5 

 (iv)    a material adverse change in the reporting structure applicable
to the Executive; or

Agreement is moved by 50 miles or more. 
 The Executive cannot terminate his employment for Good Reason unless he has provided written
notice to the Company of the existence of the circumstances providing grounds for termination for Good Reason within 30 days of the initial existence of such grounds and the Company has had at least 30 days from the date on which such notice is
provided to cure such circumstances. If the Executive does not terminate his employment for Good Reason within 30 days after the expiration of the Company’s cure period, then the Executive will be deemed to have waived his right to terminate
for Good Reason with respect to such grounds. 
 5.2    Non-Renewal by the
Company, Without Cause or for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive for Good Reason or by the Company without Cause or on account of the Company’s failure to renew the Agreement in accordance with
Section 1, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Amounts and subject to the Executive’s compliance with Section 6, Section 7, Section 8, and Section 9 of this Agreement and his execution of a release of

reimbursement policy, provided that Executive submits documentation to the Company substantiating his payments for COBRA coverage; and 

(c)    The treatment of any outstanding stock options shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the Equity
Incentive Plan; provided, however, that in the event of a termination pursuant to Section 5.2 of this Agreement, the vesting of any portion of the Option (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan) scheduled to vest between the Termination Date
and August 31 of that same fiscal year shall be accelerated and treated as being vested as of the Termination Date. 

5.3    Death or Disability. 

(a)    The Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate automatically upon the Executive’s death during the
Employment Term, and the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment on account of the Executive’s Disability. 

  
 6 

 (b)    If the Executive’s employment is terminated during the
Employment Term on account of the Executive’s death or Disability, the Executive (or the Executive’s estate and/or beneficiaries, as the case may be) shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Amounts. Notwithstanding any other provision
contained herein, all payments made in connection with the Executive’s Disability shall be provided in a manner which is consistent with federal and state law. 

(c)    For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean the Executive’s inability, due to
physical or mental incapacity, to perform the essential functions of his job, with or without reasonable accommodation, for one hundred eighty (180) days out of any three hundred sixty-five (365) day period or one hundred twenty

Executive and the Company. If the Executive and the Company cannot agree as to a qualified independent physician, each shall appoint such a physician and those two physicians shall select a third who shall make such determination in writing. The
determination of Disability made in writing to the Company and the Executive shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of this Agreement. 

5.4    Notice of Termination. Any termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder by the Company or by the
Executive during the Employment Term (other than termination pursuant to Section 5.3(a) on account of the Executive’s death) shall be communicated by written notice of termination (“Notice of Termination”) to the other
party hereto in accordance with Section 24. The Notice of Termination shall specify: 
 (a)    The termination
provision of this Agreement relied upon; 
 (b)    To the extent applicable, the facts and circumstances claimed to
provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated; and 
 (c)    The
applicable Termination Date. 
 5.5    Termination Date. The Executive’s “Termination Date”
shall be: 
 (a)    If the Executive’s employment hereunder terminates on account of the Executive’s death,
the date of the Executive’s death; 
 (b)    If the Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated on account
of the Executive’s Disability, the date that it is determined that the Executive has a Disability; 
 (c)    If the
Company terminates the Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause, the date the Notice of Termination is delivered to the Executive; 

(d)    If the Company terminates the Executive’s employment hereunder without Cause, the date specified in the Notice

 7 

 (e)    If the Executive terminates his employment hereunder with or

the 30 day notice period for no consideration by giving written notice to the Executive and for all purposes of this Agreement, the Executive’s Termination Date shall be the date determined by the Company; and 

(f)    If the Executive’s employment hereunder terminates because either party provides notice of non-renewal pursuant to Section 1, the Renewal Date immediately following the date on which the applicable party delivers notice of non-renewal. 

Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Termination Date shall not occur until the date on which the Executive incurs a “separation
from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A. 
 5.6    Resignation of All Other Positions.
Upon termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder for any reason, the Executive shall be deemed to have resigned from all positions that the Executive holds as an officer or member of the Board (or a committee thereof) of the Company or
any of its affiliates. 
 5.7    Section 280G. 

(a)    If any of the payments or benefits received or to be received by the Executive (including, without limitation, any
payment or benefits received in connection with the Executive’s termination of employment, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement, or agreement, or otherwise) (all such payments collectively referred to
herein as the “280G Payments”) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and will be subject to the excise tax imposed under
Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then prior to making 280G Payments, a calculation shall be made comparing (i) the Net Benefit (as defined below) payment made to the Executive of the 280G Payments after payment
of the Excise Tax to (ii) the Net Benefit to the Executive if the 280G Payments are limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax. Only if the amount calculated under (i) above is less than the amount under
(ii) above will the 280G Payments be reduced to the minimum extent necessary to ensure that no portion of the 280G Payments are subject to the Excise Tax. “Net Benefit” shall mean the present value of the 280G Payments net of
all federal, state, local, foreign income, employment, and excise taxes. Any reduction made pursuant to this Section 5.7(a) shall be made in a manner determined by the Company that is consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A.

 (b)    All calculations and determinations under this Section 5.7 shall be made by an independent accounting
firm or independent tax counsel appointed by the Company (the “Tax Counsel”) whose determinations shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and the Executive for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations and
determinations required by this Section 5.7, the Tax Counsel may rely on reasonable, good faith assumptions and approximations concerning the application of Section 280G and Section 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Executive
shall furnish the Tax Counsel with such information and documents as the Tax Counsel may reasonably request in order to make its determinations under this Section 5.7. The Company shall bear all costs the Tax Counsel may reasonably incur in
connection with its services. 

  
 8 

 6.    Cooperation. The parties agree that certain matters in
which the Executive will be involved during the Employment Term may necessitate the Executive’s cooperation in the future. Accordingly, following the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, to the extent reasonably
requested by the Board, the Executive shall cooperate with the Company in connection with matters arising out of the Executive’s service to the Company; provided that, the Company shall make reasonable efforts to minimize disruption of the
Executive’s other activities. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such cooperation and, to the extent that the Executive is required to spend substantial time on such matters, the
Company shall compensate the Executive at an hourly rate based on the Executive’s Base Salary on the Termination Date. 

7.    Confidential Information. The Executive understands and acknowledges that during the Employment Term, he will
have access to and learn about Confidential Information, as defined below. 
 7.1    Confidential Information

 The Executive understands and agrees that Confidential Information includes information
developed by him in the course of his employment by the Company as if the Company furnished the same Confidential Information to the Executive in the first instance. Confidential Information shall not include information that is generally available

(b)    Company Creation and Use of Confidential Information.

the limits and to the extent of such duties or consent); and (iii) not to access or use any Confidential Information, and not to copy any documents, records, files, media, or other resources containing any Confidential Information, or remove
any such documents, records, files, media, or other resources from the premises or control of the Company, except as required in the performance of the Executive’s authorized employment duties to the Company or with the prior consent of the
Board (and then, such disclosure shall be made only within the limits and to the extent of such duties or consent). Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent disclosure of Confidential Information as may be required by applicable law or
regulation, or pursuant to the valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized government agency, provided that the disclosure does not exceed the extent of disclosure required by such law, regulation, or order. The Executive shall

(A)    files any document containing trade secrets under seal; and 

(B)    does not disclose trade secrets, except pursuant to court order. 

The Executive understands and acknowledges that his obligations under this Agreement with regard to any particular Confidential Information
shall commence immediately upon the Executive first having access to such Confidential Information and shall continue during and after his employment by the Company until such time as such Confidential Information has become public knowledge other
than as a result of the Executive’s breach of this Agreement or breach by those acting in concert with the Executive or on the Executive’s behalf. 

(e)    Former Employer Information. Executive agrees that during his employment with the Company he will not
improperly use, disclose, or induce the Company to use, any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former or concurrent employer or other person or entity. Executive further agrees that he will not bring onto the premises of the Company or
transfer onto the Company’s technology systems any unpublished document, proprietary information or trade secrets belonging to any such employer, person or entity unless consented to in writing by both the Company and such employer, person or
entity. 
 (f)    Third Party Information. Executive recognizes that the Company may have received and in the
future may receive from third parties associated with the Company, e.g., the Company’s customers, suppliers, licensors, licensees, partners, or collaborators (“Associated Third Parties”) their confidential or proprietary

Company’s agreement with such Associated Third Parties. Executive understands that unauthorized use or disclosure of Associated Third Party Confidential Information during his employment will lead to disciplinary action, up to and including
immediate termination of his employment and legal action by the Company. 

8.    Non-Disparagement. The Executive agrees and covenants that he will not
at any time make, publish or communicate to any person or entity or in any public forum any defamatory or disparaging remarks, comments, or statements concerning the Company or its businesses, or any of its employees, directors, officers, customers,
suppliers, investors and other associated third parties. 
 This Section 8 does not, in any way, restrict or impede the Executive from
exercising protected rights to the extent that such rights cannot be waived by agreement or from complying with any applicable law or regulation or a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized government agency, provided that
such compliance does not exceed that required by the law, regulation, or order. The Executive shall promptly provide written notice of any such order to the Board. 

9.    Solicitation of Employees. Executive agrees that for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following
the termination of his relationship with the Company for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary, with or without cause, Executive shall not either directly or indirectly solicit any of the Company’s employees to leave their employment, or

or Section 9 of this Agreement, the Executive hereby consents and agrees that the Company shall be entitled to seek, in addition to other available remedies, a temporary or permanent injunction or other equitable relief against such breach or
threatened breach from any court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of showing any actual damages or that money damages would not afford an adequate remedy, and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security. The
aforementioned equitable relief shall be in addition to, not in lieu of, legal remedies, monetary damages, or other available forms of relief. 

11.    Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement or any breach of

 12.    Proprietary Rights. 

12.1    Inventions Retained and Licensed. Executive has attached as Exhibit A a list describing all inventions,
discoveries, original works of authorship, developments, improvements, and trade secrets that (i) Executive conceived in whole or in part before commencing employment with the Company, and (ii) do not relate to the Company’s current
or proposed business, products, or research and development (“Prior Inventions”). If no such list is attached, Executive represents and warrants that no such Prior Inventions exist. Executive further represents and warrants that the
inclusion of any Prior Inventions on Exhibit A to this Agreement will not materially affect Executive’s ability to perform all obligations under this Agreement. If, in the course of his employment with the Company, Executive incorporates into
or use any fully developed Prior Invention in connection with any product, process, service, technology or other work by or on behalf of Company, Executive hereby grants to the Company a nonexclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license, with the right to grant and authorize sublicenses, to make, have made, modify, use, import, offer for sale, and sell such Prior Invention as part of or in
connection with such product, process, service, technology or other work and to practice any method related thereto. 

12.2    Assignment of Inventions. “Inventions” means all inventions, discoveries, original
works of authorship, developments, improvements, and trade secrets, whether or not patentable or registrable under patent, copyright or similar laws, that Executive may solely or jointly conceive, develop or reduce to practice, or cause to be
conceived, developed or reduced to practice, (i) during the period of time that the Company employs Executive (including during off-duty hours), or (ii) in connection with the use of the
Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, personnel, or Company Confidential Information, except as provided in Section 12.5 below. Executive will promptly make full written disclosure to the Company, will hold in trust for the sole right
and benefit of the Company, and hereby now assigns to the Company or to its designee(s) all of Executive’s right, title, and interest in and to any and all Inventions. Executive further acknowledges that all original works of authorship that
Executive may make (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of and during the period of his employment with the Company and that are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” as that term is defined in the United States
Copyright Act. Executive understands and agrees that any decision whether or not to commercialize or market any Inventions is within the Company’s sole discretion and for the Company’s sole benefit and that no royalty or other
consideration will be due to him as a result of the Company’s efforts to commercialize or market any such Inventions. 

12.3    Maintenance of Records. Executive agrees to keep and maintain adequate, current, accurate, and authentic
written records of all Inventions that Executive creates (solely or jointly with others) during the term of his employment with the Company. The records will be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, electronic files, reports, or any other format
that may be specified by the Company. The records are and will be available to, and remain the sole property of, the Company at all times. 

  
 13 

 12.4    Patent and Copyright Registrations. Executive agrees to
assist the Company or its designee(s), at the Company’s reasonable expense, in every proper way to secure the Company’s rights in any Inventions and in any rights relating to such Inventions in any and all countries. Such assistance
regarding any Inventions and/or related rights includes, without limitation, full disclosure to the Company of all pertinent information and data; the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments and all other instruments that
the Company might deem proper or reasonably necessary to apply for, register, obtain, maintain, defend, and enforce such rights, and/or to assign and convey to the Company, its successors, assigns, and/or nominees the sole and exclusive rights,
title and interest in and to such Inventions and any rights relating to them; and testifying in a lawsuit or other proceeding relating to such Inventions and any rights relating to them. Executive expressly agrees that his obligation to execute or
cause to be executed, when it is in his power to do so, any such instrument or papers continues after the termination of this Agreement, at the Company’s reasonable expense. If the Company is unable because of Executive’s mental or
physical incapacity or for any other reason to secure Executive’s signature with respect to any Inventions including, without limitation, to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents or copyright
registrations covering such Inventions, then Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and/or its duly authorized officers and agents as his agent and
attorney-in-fact, to act for and on his behalf and stead to execute and file any papers, oaths and to do all other lawfully permitted acts with respect to such
Inventions with the same legal force and effect as if Executive executed them. 
 12.5    Exception to
Assignments. Executive understands that the provisions of this Agreement requiring assignment of Inventions to the Company do not apply to any invention that qualifies fully under the provisions of California Labor Code Section 2870 (the
full text of which is in the attached Exhibit B). Executive will advise the Company immediately in writing of any inventions that (i) Executive might create (solely or jointly with others) after today, (ii) Executive believes meet the
criteria in California Labor Code Section 2870, and (iii) are not otherwise disclosed on Exhibit A. 

13.    Security. 

13.1    Security and Access. The Executive acknowledges that he has no reasonable expectation of privacy in any
computer, technology system, email, handheld device, telephone, or documents that are used to conduct the business of the Company whether such device is personally owned or provided by the Company. As such, the Company has the right to audit and
search all such items and systems, without further notice to Executive, to ensure that the Company is licensed to use the software on the Company’s devices in compliance with the Company’s software licensing policies, to ensure compliance
with the Company’s policies, and for any other business-related purposes in the Company’s sole discretion. Executive agrees and covenants (a) to comply with all Company security policies and procedures as in force from time to time
including without limitation those regarding computer equipment, telephone systems, voicemail systems, facilities access, monitoring, key cards, access codes, Company intranet, internet, social media and instant messaging systems, computer systems,
email systems, computer networks, document storage systems, software, data security, encryption, firewalls, passwords and any and all other Company facilities, IT resources and communication 

  
 14 

 
technologies (“Facilities and Information Technology Resources”); (b) not to access or use any Facilities and Information Technology Resources except as authorized by the
Company; and (iii) not to access or use any Facilities and Information Technology Resources in any manner after the termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company, whether termination is voluntary or involuntary. The Executive
agrees to notify the Company promptly in the event he learns of any violation of the foregoing by others, or of any other misappropriation or unauthorized access, use, reproduction, or reverse engineering of, or tampering with any Facilities and
Information Technology Resources or other Company property or materials by others. 
 13.2    Exit Obligations.
Upon (a) voluntary or involuntary termination of the Executive’s employment or (b) the Company’s request at any time during the Executive’s employment, the Executive shall (i) provide or return to the Company any and
all Company property, including keys, key cards, access cards, identification cards, security devices, employer credit cards, network access devices, computers, cell phones, equipment, speakers, webcams, manuals, reports, files, books, compilations,
work product, email messages, recordings, tapes, disks, thumb drives or other removable information storage devices, hard drives, and data and all Company documents and materials belonging to the Company and stored in any fashion, including but not
limited to those that constitute or contain any Confidential Information or work product, that are in the possession or control of the Executive, whether they were provided to the Executive by the Company or any of its business associates or created
by the Executive in connection with his employment by the Company; and (ii) delete or destroy all copies of any such documents and materials not returned to the Company that remain in the Executive’s possession or control, including those
stored on any non-Company devices, networks, storage locations, and media in the Executive’s possession or control. 

14.    Publicity. The Executive hereby irrevocably consents to any and all uses and displays, by the Company and its
agents, representatives and licensees, of the Executive’s name, voice, likeness, image, appearance, and biographical information in, on or in connection with any pictures, photographs, audio and video recordings, digital images, websites,
television programs and advertising, other advertising and publicity, sales and marketing brochures, books, magazines, other publications, CDs, DVDs, tapes, and all other printed and electronic forms and media throughout the world, at any time
during or after the period of his employment by the Company, for all legitimate commercial and business purposes of the Company (“Permitted Uses”) without further consent from or royalty, payment, or other compensation to the
Executive. The Executive hereby forever waives and releases the Company and its directors, officers, employees, and agents from any and all claims, actions, damages, losses, costs, expenses, and liability of any kind, arising under any legal or
equitable theory whatsoever at any time during or after the period of his employment by the Company, arising directly or indirectly from the Company’s and its agents’, representatives’, and licensees’ exercise of their rights in
connection with any Permitted Uses. 
 15.    Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement, for all
purposes, shall be construed in accordance with the laws of California without regard to conflicts of law principles. Subject to Section 11 of this Agreement, any action or proceeding by either of the parties to enforce this Agreement shall be
brought only in a state or federal court located in the State of California, County of Orange. The parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and waive the defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any
such action or proceeding in such venue. 

  
 15 

 16.    Entire Agreement. Unless specifically provided herein,
this Agreement contains all of the understandings and representations between the Executive and the Company pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and
warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. The parties mutually agree that the Agreement can be specifically enforced in court and can be cited as evidence in legal proceedings alleging breach of the Agreement. 

17.    Modification and Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified unless such amendment or
modification is agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive and by a director of the Company. No waiver by either of the parties of any breach by the other party hereto of any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by the
other party hereto shall be deemed a waiver of any similar or dissimilar provision or condition at the same or any prior or subsequent time, nor shall the failure of or delay by either of the parties in exercising any right, power, or privilege
hereunder operate as a waiver thereof to preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power, or privilege. 

18.    Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
enforceable only if modified, or if any portion of this Agreement shall be held as unenforceable and thus stricken, such holding shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Agreement, the balance of which shall continue to be binding upon
the parties with any such modification to become a part hereof and treated as though originally set forth in this Agreement. 
 The parties
further agree that any such court is expressly authorized to modify any such unenforceable provision of this Agreement in lieu of severing such unenforceable provision from this Agreement in its entirety, whether by rewriting the offending
provision, deleting any or all of the offending provision, adding additional language to this Agreement, or by making such other modifications as it deems warranted to carry out the intent and agreement of the parties as embodied herein to the
maximum extent permitted by law. 
 The parties expressly agree that this Agreement as so modified by the court shall be binding upon and
enforceable against each of them. In any event, should one or more of the provisions of this Agreement be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other
provisions hereof, and if such provision or provisions are not modified as provided above, this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provisions had not been set forth herein. 

19.    Captions. Captions and headings of the sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are intended solely for
convenience and no provision of this Agreement is to be construed by reference to the caption or heading of any section or paragraph.

 20.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 

21.    Section 409A. 

21.1    General Compliance. This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A or an exemption thereunder
and shall be construed and administered in accordance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, payments provided under this Agreement may only be made upon an event and in a manner that complies with
Section 409A or an applicable exemption. Payments made under this Agreement with respect to a termination from employment, shall be considered made only upon a “separation from service” as defined in Internal Revenue Code
Section 409A (“Code Section 409A”). It is further intended that such payments are not deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A to the extent that such payments are covered by (a) the
“short-term deferral exception” set forth in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), (b) the “two times severance exception” set forth in Treas. Reg.
Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), or (c) the “limited payments exception” set forth in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(D). The short-term
deferral exception, the two times severance exception and the limited payments exception shall be applied to the payments hereunder, as applicable, in order of payment in such a manner as results in the maximum exclusion of such payments from
treatment as deferred compensation under Code Section 409A. For purposes of Section 409A, each installment payment provided under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no
representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement comply with Section 409A, and in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest, or other expenses that may be incurred
by the Executive on account of non-compliance with Section 409A. 

21.2    Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any payment or benefit
provided to the Executive in connection with his termination of employment is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and the Executive is determined to be a “specified
employee” as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(b)(i), then such payment or benefit shall not be paid until the first payroll date to occur following the six-month anniversary of the Termination Date or,
if earlier, on the Executive’s death (the “Specified Employee Payment Date”). The aggregate of any payments that would otherwise have been paid before the Specified Employee Payment Date and interest on such amounts calculated
based on the applicable federal rate published by the Internal Revenue Service for the month in which the Executive’s separation from service occurs shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum on the Specified Employee Payment Date and
thereafter, any remaining payments shall be paid without delay in accordance with their original schedule. 

  
 17 

 21.3    Reimbursements. To the extent required by
Section 409A, each reimbursement or in-kind benefit provided under this Agreement shall be provided in accordance with the following: 

(a)    the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits
provided, during each calendar year cannot affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year; 

(b)    any reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be paid to the Executive on or before the last day of the calendar
year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred; and 
 (c)    any right to reimbursements or in-kind benefits under this Agreement shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 

22.     Notification to Subsequent Employer. When the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates, the
Executive agrees to notify any subsequent employer of Executive’s continuing obligations under this Agreement. The Executive will also deliver a copy of such notice to the Company before the Executive commences employment with any subsequent
employer. 
 23.    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is personal to the Executive and shall not be assigned
by the Executive. Any purported assignment by the Executive shall be null and void from the initial date of the purported assignment. The Company may assign this Agreement to any successor or assign (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger,
consolidation, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Company and permitted successors and assigns. 

24.    Notice. Notices and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
delivered personally or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by overnight carrier to the parties at the addresses set forth below (or such other addresses as specified by the parties by like notice):

CALIFORNIA LABOR CODE SECTION 2870 

INVENTION ON OWN TIME-EXEMPTION FROM AGREEMENT 

(a)    Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of
his or her rights in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information
except for those inventions that either: 
 (1)    Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the
invention to the employer’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the employer; or 

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

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