 4. Termination of Employment and Termination of
Employment In Connection with a Change of Control. 
 (a) Termination of Employment. Subject to

following the first day of the Change of Control Period, Employee’s employment with the Company terminates as the result of a Constructive Termination or is terminated by the Company for any reason other than Cause, then the Company shall
provide to Employee as soon as practicable, but not more than ten (10) business days following the Date of Termination, each of the following benefits: 
 (i) Severance Benefits. The Company shall pay Employee a lump sum severance benefit which shall be equal to the sum of
Employee’s: 
 (1) Base Compensation, and 
 (2) Target Bonus Opportunity. 
 (ii) Equity Compensation. All unvested equity awards, including, but not limited to, stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock awards, held by Employee on the Date of
Termination shall be deemed vested and exercisable on such Date of Termination as if Employee had been employed for an additional twelve (12) months following the Date of Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any option, right or award
would, as a result of such accelerated vesting and exercisability no longer qualify for exemption under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, then the deemed acceleration of the vesting of such option, right or award shall apply but such option,
right or award shall not become exercisable until the earliest date on which it could become exercisable and also qualify for exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act, unless Employee instead timely elects to receive a single lump sum cash
payment equal to the value of such option, right or award, in lieu of the equity interest that Employee would otherwise receive but for the lack of an exemption under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Any repurchase rights held by the Company on
stock owned or options exercised by Employee shall be canceled on the Date of Termination. To the extent the acceleration of vesting and exercisability described in this Section 4(a)(ii) does not otherwise violate the requirements of
Section 409A of the Code, this Agreement shall serve as an amendment to all of Employee’s outstanding stock options, restricted stock awards, repurchase rights, and stock appreciation rights as of the Date of Termination. 
 (iii) Continuation Medical Coverage. For twelve (12) months following the Date of Termination, the payment of
“COBRA” premiums for Employee and any dependents covered under the Company’s group health plan immediately prior to the Date of Termination; provided, however, that the Company may cease making such payments when Employee
(1) secures employment and (2) becomes eligible to participate in the health insurance plan of his or her new employer. 
  

 -8- 

 (iv) Accrued Bonus. The Company shall pay Employee the pro rata
amount of the annual bonus accrued under the Company’s executive officer bonus plan, which shall be determined by multiplying the maximum bonus available to Employee under the Company’s executive officer bonus plan, if any, by the ratio of
the number of days in which Employee was employed with the Company or a subsidiary during the applicable bonus period to the number of days in such bonus period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the maximum bonus available under the Company’s
executive officer bonus plan is indeterminable or otherwise unlimited, the amount of the accrued bonus payable under this Section 4(a)(iv) shall be limited to 100% of Employee’s Base Compensation. 
 (b) Delayed Termination of Employment In Connection with a Change of Control. Subject to Section 5 below, if more
than eight (8) months following the first day of the Change of Control Period but prior to the end of the Change of Control Period, Employee’s employment with the Company terminates as the result of a Constructive Termination or is
terminated by the Company for any reason other than Cause, then the Company shall provide to Employee as soon as practicable, but not more than ten (10) business days following the Date of Termination, each of the following benefits:

 (i) Severance Benefits. The Company shall pay Employee a lump sum severance benefit which shall equal
the sum of: 
 (1) fifty percent (50%) of Employee’s Base Compensation, and 
 (2) fifty percent (50%) of Employee’s Target Bonus Opportunity. 
 (ii) Equity Compensation. All unvested equity awards, including, but not limited to, stock options, stock appreciation
rights and restricted stock awards held by Employee on the Date of Termination shall be deemed vested and exercisable on such Date of Termination as if Employee had been employed for an additional six (6) months following the Date of
Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any option, right or award would, as a result of such accelerated vesting and exercisability no longer qualify for exemption under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, then the deemed acceleration of
the vesting of such option, right or award shall apply but such option, right or award shall not become exercisable until the earliest date on which it could become exercisable and also qualify for exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act,
unless Employee instead timely elects to receive a single lump sum cash payment equal to the value of such option, right or award, in lieu of the equity interest that Employee would otherwise receive but for the lack of an exemption under
Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Any repurchase rights held by the Company on stock owned or options exercised by Employee shall be canceled on the Date of Termination. To the extent the acceleration of vesting and exercisability described in
this Section 4(b)(ii) does not otherwise violate the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, this Agreement shall serve as an amendment to all of Employee’s outstanding stock options, restricted stock awards, repurchase rights, and
stock appreciation rights as of the Date of Termination. 
 (iii) Continuation of Medical Coverage. For
six (6) months following the Date of Termination the payment of “COBRA” premiums for Employee and any dependents covered under the Company’s group health plan immediately prior to the Date of Termination; provided, however, that
the Company may cease making such payments when Employee (1) secures employment and (2) becomes eligible to participate in the health insurance plan of his or her new employer. 
  

 -9- 

 (iv) Accrued Bonus. The Company shall pay Employee the pro rata
amount of the annual bonus accrued under the Company’s executive officer bonus plan, which shall be determined by multiplying the maximum bonus available to Employee under the Company’s executive officer bonus plan, if any, by the ratio of
the number of days in which Employee was employed with the Company or a subsidiary during the applicable bonus period to the number of days in such bonus period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the maximum bonus available under the Company’s
executive officer bonus plan is indeterminable or otherwise unlimited, the amount of the accrued bonus payable under this Section 4(b)(iv) shall be limited to 100% of Employee’s Base Compensation. 
 (c) Termination of Employment for Cause. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at the election
of the Company, Employee shall have no rights under this Agreement other than payment of compensation and reimbursement of business expenses pursuant to this Agreement through the Date of Termination, if Employee is terminated for Cause. 

(d) Termination of Certain Benefits. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Employee’s
rights pursuant to Section 4(a)(1) shall terminate upon a Change of Control. 
 (e) Severance Benefits
Exclusively Enumerated. For the avoidance of doubt, Employee shall make no claim for any compensation pursuant to this Agreement that is not expressly described in this Section 4 and Employee shall make no claim for any other forms of
compensation pursuant to this Agreement that he may otherwise currently receive, including, but not limited to, car allowances and any other similar perquisites. 
 5. Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Employee is a “specified employee,” within the meaning of
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and a payment pursuant to this Agreement would otherwise be subject to and violate the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, such payment shall be delayed until the first day of the seventh month
following Employee’s separation from service with the Company. 
 6. Successors; Binding Agreement. The Company
shall 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 expressly assume 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. Failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this
Agreement and shall entitle Employee to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as Employee would be entitled hereunder if the Company had terminated Employee’s employment without Cause at any time or after a
Change of Control, except that for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as
defined herein and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this Section or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of
law.

Termination of Employment and Termination of Employment In Connection with a Change of Control. 
 (a)
Termination of Employment. Subject to Section 5 below, if (1) Employee’s employment with the Company terminates as the result of a Constructive Termination or is terminated by the Company for any reason other than Cause or
(2) if within six (6) months following the first day of the Change of Control Period, Employee’s employment with the Company terminates as the result of a Constructive Termination or is terminated by the Company for any reason other
than Cause, then the Company shall provide to Employee as soon as practicable, but not more than ten (10) business days following the Date of Termination, each of the following benefits: 
 (i) Severance Benefits. The Company shall pay Employee a lump sum severance benefit which shall be equal to the sum of
Employee’s: 
 (1) Base Compensation, and 
  

 -7- 

 (2) Target Bonus Opportunity. 
 (ii) Equity Compensation. All unvested equity awards, including, but not limited to, stock options, stock appreciation
rights and restricted stock awards, held by Employee on the Date of Termination shall be deemed vested and exercisable on such Date of Termination as if Employee had been employed for an additional twelve (12) months following the Date of
Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any option, right or award would, as a result of such accelerated vesting and exercisability no longer qualify for exemption under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, then the deemed acceleration of
the vesting of such option, right or award shall apply but such option, right or award shall not become exercisable until the earliest date on which it could become exercisable and also qualify for exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act,
unless Employee instead timely elects to receive a single lump sum cash payment equal to the value of such option, right or award, in lieu of the equity interest that Employee would otherwise receive but for the lack of an exemption under
Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Any repurchase rights held by the Company on stock owned or options exercised by Employee shall be canceled on the Date of Termination. To the extent the acceleration of vesting and exercisability described in
this Section 4(a)(ii) does not otherwise violate the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, this Agreement shall serve as an amendment to all of Employee’s outstanding stock options, restricted stock awards, repurchase rights, and
stock appreciation rights as of the Date of Termination. 
 (iii) Accrued Bonus. The Company shall pay
Employee the pro rata amount of the annual bonus accrued under any applicable Company bonus program, which shall be determined by multiplying the maximum bonus available to Employee, if any, under any applicable Company bonus program, if any, by the
ratio of the number of days in which Employee was employed with the Company or a subsidiary during the applicable bonus period to the number of days in such bonus period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the maximum bonus available under any
applicable Company bonus program is indeterminable or otherwise unlimited, the amount of the accrued bonus payable under this Section 4(a)(iii) shall be limited to 100% of Employee’s Base Compensation. 
 (b) Delayed Termination of Employment In Connection with a Change of Control. Subject to Section 5 below, if more
than six (6) months following the first day of the Change of Control Period but prior to the end of the Change of Control Period, Employee’s employment with the Company terminates as the result of a Constructive Termination or is
terminated by the Company for any reason other than Cause, then the Company shall provide to Employee as soon as practicable, but not more than ten (10) business days following the Date of Termination, each of the following benefits:

 (i) Severance Benefits. The Company shall pay Employee a lump sum severance benefit which shall equal
the sum of: 
 (1) fifty percent (50%) of Employee’s Base Compensation, and 
 (2) fifty percent (50%) of Employee’s Target Bonus Opportunity. 
  

 -8- 

 (ii) Equity Compensation. All unvested equity awards, including, but
not limited to, stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock awards held by Employee on the Date of Termination shall be deemed vested and exercisable on such Date of Termination as if Employee had been employed for an additional
six (6) months following the Date of Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any option, right or award would, as a result of such accelerated vesting and exercisability no longer qualify for exemption under Section 16 of the
Exchange Act, then the deemed acceleration of the vesting of such option, right or award shall apply but such option, right or award shall not become exercisable until the earliest date on which it could become exercisable and also qualify for
exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act, unless Employee instead timely elects to receive a single lump sum cash payment equal to the value of such option, right or award, in lieu of the equity interest that Employee would otherwise
receive but for the lack of an exemption under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Any repurchase rights held by the Company on stock owned or options exercised by Employee shall be canceled on the Date of Termination. To the extent the
acceleration of vesting and exercisability described in this Section 4(b)(ii) does not otherwise violate the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, this Agreement shall serve as an amendment to all of Employee’s outstanding stock
options, restricted stock awards, repurchase rights, and stock appreciation rights as of the Date of Termination. 
 (iii) Accrued Bonus. The Company shall pay Employee the pro rata amount of the annual bonus accrued under any applicable Company bonus program, which shall be determined by multiplying the maximum bonus available to Employee, if any,
under any applicable Company bonus program by the ratio of the number of days in which Employee was employed with the Company or a subsidiary during the applicable bonus period to the number of days in such bonus period. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the maximum bonus available under any applicable Company bonus program is indeterminable or otherwise unlimited, the amount of the accrued bonus payable under this Section 4(b)(iii) shall be limited to 100% of Employee’s Base
Compensation. 
 (c) Termination of Employment for Cause. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, at the election of the Company, Employee shall have no rights under this Agreement other than payment of compensation and reimbursement of business expenses pursuant to this Agreement through the Date of Termination, if Employee is
terminated for Cause. 
 (d) Termination of Certain Benefits. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, Employee’s rights pursuant to Section 4(a)(1) shall terminate upon a Change of Control. 
 (e) Severance Benefits Exclusively Enumerated. For the avoidance of doubt, Employee shall make no claim for any compensation pursuant to this Agreement that is not expressly described in this Section 4 and Employee shall make no
claim for any other forms of compensation pursuant to this Agreement that he may otherwise currently receive, including, but not limited to, car allowances and any other similar perquisites. 
 5. Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Employee is a “specified
employee,” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and a payment pursuant to this Agreement would otherwise be subject to and violate the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, such payment shall be delayed until
the first day of the seventh month following Employee’s separation from service with the Company. 
  

 -9- 

 6. Successors; Binding Agreement. The Company shall 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 expressly assume 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. Failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle Employee to
compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as Employee would be entitled hereunder if the Company had terminated Employee’s employment without Cause at any time or after a Change of Control, except that for purposes
of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as defined herein and any successor to its business
and/or assets as aforesaid which executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this Section or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law. 
 7. Miscellaneous.
