WHEREAS, You were employed by the Company;

WHEREAS, You signed certain confidentiality, non-disclosure, invention assignment, restrictive covenant or comparable terms with the Company, in which You promised, among other things, to maintain confidentiality of Company information, and assign inventions to the Company, which provisions survive this Agreement in full force and effect (collectively, the “Continuing Agreements”);

WHEREAS, You and the Company wish to set forth the terms of Your separation from the Company and to resolve any and all disputes, claims, complaints, grievances, charges, actions, petitions, and demands that You may have against the Company and any of the Releasees as defined below;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made herein, You and the Company hereby agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1.Effective Date. This Agreement shall become effective once You execute this Agreement and the revocation period outlined in Paragraph 7 has expired. You may not execute this Agreement prior to the Separation Date as defined in paragraph 2, below.
2.Separation and Transition Duties.
a.Separation.  You will separate from employment with the Company effective December 31, 2021 (the “Separation Date”). 
b.Transition Duties.  Following the Separation Date, You agree to remain available to the Company as a non-employee advisor through April 30, 2022 (the “Transition Period”).  During the Transition Period, You agree to perform such tasks as may be reasonably directed by the Company including, but not limited to, (i) the smooth transition of Your roles, job duties, and business contacts to such person(s) as the Company may designate, and (ii) remaining reasonably available to answer questions and transfer data and information upon the Company’s reasonable request (collectively defined as “Transition Duties”).  During the Transition Period, subject to You maintaining service provider status under the Stock Agreements and in accordance therewith, You may continue to vest in any further outstanding and unvested equity awards (with the understanding that You shall not be entitled to any other pay or benefits associated with any services rendered during the Transition Period), except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. 

3.General Consideration.  Subject to Your timely execution, return, non-revocation, and full compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company agrees to provide You the following:
a.Cash Severance. The Company agrees to pay You a lump sum cash payment in the amount of $220,000.00, less applicable deductions and withholdings, which is equivalent to six (6) months of Your annual base salary as of the Effective Date.  This Cash Severance will be payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll procedures within twenty (20) days following the Effective Date. 
b.2021 Bonus. The Company will pay You a bonus in the amount of $324,605.00, less applicable deductions and withholdings (which represents the average of actual bonus payouts over the prior two years). The bonus is payable in a lump-sum cash payment in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll procedures within twenty (20) days following the Effective Date. 
c.COBRA. Your Company-sponsored health insurance benefits cease on the last day of the month of Your Separation Date.  You may elect to continue this coverage under COBRA after the end of this coverage period at the full COBRA rate for the remainder of the eligible COBRA period. If You accept the terms of this Agreement and do not revoke, the Company will reimburse You for the payments You make for COBRA coverage for a period of six (6) months, or until You have secured other employment, whichever occurs first, provided You timely elect and pay for such COBRA coverage.  COBRA reimbursements shall be made by the Company to You consistent with the Company’s normal expense reimbursement policy, provided that You submit documentation to the Company substantiating Your payments for COBRA coverage. Alternatively, You may choose to receive a lump sum payment of $12,000.00, which sum represents approximately six (6) months of Your COBRA premiums, payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll procedures within twenty (20) days following the Effective Date. Your participation in all other benefits and incidents of employment, including the accrual of bonuses, and vacation/paid time off, will cease as of the Separation Date.
4.Additional Consideration.  Subject to (i) Your timely execution, return, non-revocation, and full compliance with the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) further subject to Your subsequent execution, return, and non-revocation of the Supplemental Release attached hereto as Exhibit A upon completion of the Transition Duties, the Company agrees to provide You the following (with Your understanding and agreement that You shall remain bound to the terms of this Agreement in exchange for the General Consideration provided for above, regardless of whether You elect to enter into the Supplemental Release):
a.Equity Acceleration.  Subject to Board approval, and upon the Supplemental Release Effective Date, as defined in the Supplemental Release attached hereto as Exhibit A, You will be entitled to Fifty Percent (50%) fully accelerated vesting with respect to the number of shares subject to Your outstanding, unvested time-based Employee Equity Awards as of April 30, 2022, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Company’s Stock Agreements.

Subject to Board approval, and upon the Supplemental Release Effective Date, as defined in the Supplemental Release attached hereto as Exhibit A, the Company will extend the exercise period of Your Employee Equity Awards through June 30, 2023. Note that the extended post-termination exercise period will convert any unexercised “incentive stock options” you currently hold into “non-qualified 
    2

14.Breach.  In addition to the rights provided in the “Attorneys’ Fees” paragraph below, You acknowledge and agree that any material breach of this Agreement, or of any provision of the Continuing Agreements, shall entitle the Company immediately to recover and/or cease providing the Consideration provided to You under this Agreement and to obtain damages, as provided by law.
