converted into voting securities of the surviving entity), as a result of shares in the Company held by such holders prior to such transaction, at least 50% of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such
surviving entity outstanding immediately after such transaction or series of transactions, and (iii) a sale, exclusive license or other conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, by means of a transaction or series of
transactions. 
 (b) For the purposes of the Offer Letter, “Cause” shall mean any of the following conduct by
you: (i) embezzlement, misappropriation of corporate funds, or other material acts of dishonesty; (ii) commission or conviction of any felony, or of any misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere

from the office where you previously were required to work; (ii) a material decrease in your base salary (except for salary decreases generally applicable to the Company’s other executive employees); or (iii) a material reduction in
the scope of your duties or responsibilities, provided, however, that to resign for Good Reason, you must (1) provide written notice to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer within 30 days after the first occurrence of the
event giving rise to Good Reason setting forth the basis for your resignation, (2) allow the Company at least 30 days from receipt of such written notice to cure such event, and (3) if such event is not reasonably cured within such period,
your resignation from all positions you then hold with the Company is effective not later than 90 days after the expiration of the cure period.
