Re: AMENDED AND RESTATED OFFER LETTER

 

Dear Dawn:

Offer Letter (the “Agreement”) between you (referred to hereinafter as the “Executive”)
and Momentus Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, sets forth the terms and conditions that shall govern
Executive’s employment (referred to hereinafter as “Employment” or the “Employment Period”)
with the Company or Stable Road Acquisition Corp. (“Parent”), which will be renamed “Momentus Inc.” following
the Closing of the Transactions (as those terms are defined in the Merger Agreement (as defined below), and such date of the Closing,
the “Closing Date”), and shall be effective immediately upon execution (the “Effective
Date”). As used herein, the term “Company” will be interpreted to include Parent or any successor thereto,
if appropriate.

 

1. Duties
and Scope of Employment.

 

(a) At-Will
Employment. Executive’s Employment with the Company is for no specified period and constitutes “at will” employment.
Except as otherwise set forth herein, Executive is free to terminate Employment at any time, with or without advance notice, and for any
reason or for no reason. Similarly, the Company is free to terminate Executive’s Employment at any time, with or without advance
notice, and with or without “Cause” (as defined below). Furthermore, although terms and conditions of Executive’s Employment
with the Company may change over time, nothing shall change the at-will nature of Executive’s Employment.

 

(b) Position
and Responsibilities. During the Employment Period, the Company agrees to employ Executive will in the position of Interim Chief
Executive Officer until a new Chief Executive Officer commences employment with the Company. While Executive serves in the position of
Interim Chief Executive Officer, Executive will report to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”)
or to such other Person as the Board subsequently may determine (“Executive’s Supervisor”). After the
Company hires a new Chief Executive Officer, Executive will serve in the position of Chief Revenue Officer and will report to the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer. Executive will be working out of the Company’s headquarters (whether in Santa Clara, California, or elsewhere).
Executive will perform the duties and have the responsibilities and authority customarily performed and held by an employee in Executive’s
position or as otherwise may be assigned or delegated to Executive by Executive’s Supervisor.

 

(c) Obligations
to the Company. During the Employment Period, Executive shall perform Executive’s duties faithfully and to the best of Executive’s
ability and will devote Executive’s full business efforts and time to the Company. During the Employment Period, without the prior
written approval of Executive’s Supervisor, Executive shall not render services in any capacity to any other Person and shall not
act as a sole proprietor, advisor or partner of any other Person or own more than five percent (5%) of the stock of any other corporation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may (i) serve on civic or charitable boards or committees, deliver lectures, fulfill speaking
engagements, teach at educational institutions, or manage personal investments without advance written consent of Executive’s Supervisor
and (ii) serve on the board of directors of ManSat Limited, an Isle of Man company; provided that such activities do not individually
or in the aggregate interfere with the performance of Executive’s duties under this Agreement or create a potential business or
fiduciary conflict. Executive shall comply with the Company’s policies and rules, as they may be in effect from time to time during
Executive’s Employment.

 

     

     

    

 

(d) No
Conflicting Obligations. Executive represents and warrants to the Company that Executive is under no obligations or commitments,
whether contractual or otherwise, that are inconsistent with Executive’s obligations under this Agreement or that would otherwise
prohibit Executive from performing Executive’s duties with the Company. In connection with Executive’s Employment, Executive

Person has any right, title or interest and Executive represents and warrants to the Company that Executive’s Employment will not
infringe or violate the rights of any other Person. Executive represents and warrants to the Company that Executive has returned all property
and confidential information belonging to any prior employer.

 

2. Cash

procedures. The annual compensation specified in this Section 2(a), together with any modifications in such compensation that the Company
may make from time to time, is referred to in this Agreement as the “Base Salary.” Executive’s Base Salary
will be subject to review and adjustments that will be made based upon the Company’s normal performance review practices. For the
remainder of the 2021 calendar year, Executive’s Base Salary shall not be decreased below $350,000, but may be increased, and if
the base salaries of other senior executives are being increased (in general), Executive’s Base Salary shall be increased in the

the new Base Salary for all purposes of this Agreement.

regularly scheduled payroll date following Executive’s execution of this Agreement, less all required tax withholdings and other
applicable deductions, subject to Executive’s continued employment through the payment date. The Special Bonus is intended to equal
the amount that Executive would have been paid if the new Base Salary of $350,000 had commenced on January 1, 2021.

 

(c) Cash
Incentive Bonus. Executive will be eligible to be considered for an annual cash incentive bonus (the “Cash Bonus”)

the “Performance Goals”). In compliance with all relevant legal requirements and based on Executive’s
level within the Company, the Performance Goals for Executive’s Cash Bonus for a particular year will be established by, and in
the sole discretion of, the Board or any Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”). The determinations
of the Board or the Committee, as applicable, with respect to any such Cash Bonus or the Target Bonus Percentage (as defined below) shall
be final and binding. Executive shall not earn a Cash Bonus unless Executive is employed by the Company on the date when such Cash Bonus
is actually paid by the Company.

 

(i) 2021
Interim Chief Executive Officer Cash Bonus. For 2021, Executive shall be eligible to receive a Cash Bonus with respect to Executive’s

(ii) 2021
Chief Revenue Officer Cash Bonus. In addition to the 2021 CEO Cash Bonus, for 2021 Executive shall also be eligible to receive

Bonus Percentage”) (the “2021 CRO Cash Bonus”), less all required tax withholdings and other applicable
deductions, which will be paid to Executive on the first regularly scheduled payroll date of January 2022, subject to Executive’s
continued Employment through the date such 2021 CRO Cash Bonus is paid by the Company.

 

(iii) 2021
and Subsequent Cash Incentive Bonuses. Executive’s Cash Bonus or Target Bonus Percentage (A) for 2021, may be adjusted up,
and if the amounts of the 2021 annual cash bonuses of other senior executives are increased (in general), Executive’s 2021 CRO Cash
Bonus shall be increased in the same proportion, and (B) for any year subsequent year to 2021, may be adjusted up or down, as determined
in the sole discretion of the Board or the Committee.

 

(d) Equity
Awards.

 

(i) The
Company previously granted Executive the following stock options to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (collectively,
the “Options”) pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2018 Stock Plan (the “Prior
Plan”): (A) on February 22, 2020, an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and
(B) on June 15, 2020, an option to purchase 15,625 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. The Options will continue to be
governed by the terms of their respective stock option and exercise agreements and the Prior Plan.

 

(ii) Subject
to the approval of the Board of Directors of Parent (the “Parent Board”) or the Compensation Committee of Parent
Board (the “Parent Committee”) and the Closing of the Transactions (as defined in the Merger Agreement), Executive
will be granted an equity award (the “Equity Award”) with respect to shares (each, a “Share”)
of Parent Class A Common Stock with a grant date fair value of $1,625,000 (the “Award Value”). Such Equity Award
may, in the sole discretion of Parent Board or Parent Committee, be in the form of an award of a number of restricted stock units (“RSUs”)
or an award of a number of Shares of restricted stock (the “Restricted Shares”). The Equity Award will be granted
as soon as reasonably practicable following Parent’s filing of a Form S-8 registration statement registering the Shares subject
to the Equity Award (such date, the “Grant Date”), subject to Executive’s continued employment through
the Grant Date. The number of RSUs or Restricted Shares will be equal to the Award Value divided by the closing sales price per Share
on the Grant Date, rounded down to the nearest whole Share. Unless otherwise determined by Parent Board or Parent Committee, the Equity
Award will be immediately vested as to 1/3rd of the total number of RSUs or Restricted Shares, as applicable, on the Grant
Date, will vest as to 1/3rd of the total number of RSUs or Restricted Shares, as applicable, on December 31, 2021 (or on the

on December 31, 2022, subject to Executive’s continued Employment through each such vesting date. The Equity Award will be subject
to the settlement, if applicable, and other terms and conditions of the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”)
and the Company’s standard form of applicable award agreement under the Plan, which Executive will be required to sign. The purpose
of the Equity Award is to compensate Executive for Executive’s Employment as Interim Chief Executive Officer and shall not negatively
impact or prorate any proposed grants to Executive with respect to Executive’s Employment thereafter as Chief Revenue Officer.

 

(e) Anticipated
Transition to Chief Revenue Officer. The terms of compensation in this Section 2 anticipate that Executive will return to Executive’s
position of Chief Revenue Officer on or about August 1, 2021. If Executive’s tenure as Interim Chief Executive Officer is extended
materially beyond July 31, 2021, the Company shall adjust the amount of the 2021 CEO Cash Bonus and the Award Value of the Equity Award
proportionally.

(c) Exclusive
Remedy. In the event of the termination of Executive’s Employment with the Company (or any affiliate or successor), the
severance payments and benefits set forth in this Section 6 are intended to be and are exclusive and in lieu of any other rights or remedies
to which Executive may otherwise be entitled, whether at law, tort or contract, in equity, or under this Agreement other than the Accrued
Benefits.

 

(d) No
Duty to Mitigate. Executive will not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment or benefit contemplated by this Agreement,
nor will any earnings that Executive may receive from any other source reduce any such payment or benefit.

 

7. Conditions
to Receipt of Termination Benefits.

 

(a) Release
of Claims Agreement. The receipt of any severance payments or benefits pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement (other than Accrued
Benefits) is subject to Executive signing and not revoking a separation agreement and release of claims in a form acceptable to the Company
(the “Release”), which must become effective no later than the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s
Termination Date (the “Release Deadline”). If the Release is not effective by the Release Deadline, Executive
will forfeit any right to severance payments or benefits under Section 6 of this Agreement (other than Accrued Benefits). Subject to the
foregoing, to become effective, the Release must be executed by Executive (or Executive’s representative in the event of Executive’s
death or Disability following the Termination Date) and any revocation periods (as required by statute, regulation, or otherwise) must
have expired without Executive (or Executive’s representative, if applicable) having revoked the Release. If the Termination Date
occurs at a time during the calendar year where the Release Deadline could occur in the calendar year following the calendar year in which
Executive’s Termination Date occurs, then any severance payments or benefits under this Agreement that would be considered Deferred
Payments (as defined in Section 8(a)) will be paid on the first payroll date to occur during the calendar year following the calendar
year in which such termination occurs, or such later time as required by (i) the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit
as set forth in Section 6, (ii) the date the Release becomes effective, or (iii) Section 8(b); provided that the first payment shall include
all amounts that would have been paid to Executive if payment had commenced on the date of Executive’s Termination Date. For the
avoidance of doubt, Accrued Benefits are not subject to the provisions of this Section 7(a).

 

(b) Restrictive
Covenants. The receipt of any severance payments or benefits pursuant to Section 6 will be subject to Executive not violating
the provisions of Section 11. In the event Executive breaches the provisions of Section 11, all continuing payments and benefits to which
Executive may otherwise be entitled pursuant to Section 6 will immediately cease.

 

(c) Employee
Agreement. Executive’s receipt of any severance payments or benefits under Section 6 will be subject to Executive continuing
to comply with the terms of this Agreement.

(a) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no severance payment or benefit to be paid or provided to Executive, if any, pursuant to this

from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.

 

(b) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section
409A at the time of Executive’s termination of employment (other than due to death), then the Deferred Payments, if any, that are

(c) Without
limitation, any amount paid under this Agreement that satisfies the requirements of the “short-term deferral” rule set forth

not intended to constitute a Deferred Payment for purposes of Section 8(a) above. Any payment intended to qualify under this exemption

respect thereto; or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the
Code for the year in which Executive’s separation from service occurred.

 

(e) To
the extent that reimbursements or in-kind benefits under this Agreement constitute non-exempt “nonqualified deferred compensation”
for purposes of Section 409A, (A) all reimbursements hereunder shall be made on or prior to the last day of the calendar year following
the calendar year in which the expense was incurred by Executive, (B) any right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject
to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (C) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided
in any calendar year shall not in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other
calendar year.

 

    -6-

     

    

 

(f) The
payments and benefits provided under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from or comply with the requirements of Section 409A so
that none of the payments or benefits to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any
ambiguities or ambiguous terms herein will be interpreted to be exempt or so comply. The Company and Executive agree to work together
in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions that are necessary, appropriate or desirable
to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual payment to Executive under Section 409A.

(or such affiliate’s) service within the preceding six (6) months, or (iii) the business of any customer, supplier, lender

during Executive’s Employment; provided, however, that any advertisement or solicitation made in a trade or industry publication

shall not constitute a violation of this Section 11(a). Executive represents that Executive is (A) familiar with the foregoing covenants

and each of the Company’s and these entities’ respective officers, directors, agents or employees, shall be resolved by final
and binding arbitration before a single arbitrator in San Jose, California (or another mutually agreeable location). This does not prevent
either Executive or the Company from seeking and obtaining temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable
harm to Executive’s or its confidential information or trade secrets pending the conclusion of any arbitration. This arbitration
agreement does not apply to any claims that have been expressly excluded from arbitration by a governing law not preempted by the Federal
Arbitration Act and does not restrict or preclude Executive from communicating with, filing an administrative charge or claim with, or
providing testimony to any governmental entity about any actual or potential violation of law or obtaining relief through a government
agency process. The parties hereto agree that claims shall be resolved on an individual basis only, and not on a class, collective, or
representative basis on behalf of other employees to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (“Class Waiver”).
Any claim that all or part of the Class Waiver is invalid, unenforceable, or unconscionable may be determined only by a court. In no case
may class, collective or representative claims proceed in arbitration on behalf of other employees.

The parties agree that the
arbitration shall be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator through JAMS in accordance with JAMS Employment Arbitration Rules and Procedures
(available at www.jamsadr.com/rules-employment-arbitration). Except as to the Class Waiver, the arbitrator shall determine arbitrability.
The Company will bear all JAMS arbitration fees and administrative costs in excess of the amount of administrative fees and costs that
Executive otherwise would have been required to pay if the claims were litigated in court. The arbitrator shall apply the applicable substantive
law in deciding the claims at issue. Claims will be governed by their applicable statute of limitations and failure to demand arbitration
within the prescribed time period shall bar the claims as provided by law. The decision or award of the arbitrator shall be final and
binding upon the parties. This arbitration agreement is enforceable under and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. In the event that
any portion of this arbitration agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, any such provision shall be severed, and the remainder
of this arbitration agreement will be given full force and effect. By signing the offer letter, Executive acknowledges and agrees that

Re:
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

Dear
John:

 

This
Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) between you (referred to hereinafter as the “Executive”
or “you”) and Momentus Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, sets forth the
terms and conditions that shall govern Executive’s employment (referred to hereinafter as “Employment”
or the “Employment Period”) with the Company or Stable Road Acquisition Corp. (“Parent”),
which will be renamed “Momentus Inc.” following the Closing of the Transactions (as those terms are defined in the Merger
Agreement, and such date of the Closing, the “Closing Date”)), and shall be effective immediately (the “Effective
Date”). As used herein, the term “Company” will be interpreted to include Parent or any successor thereto,
if appropriate.

 

1.
Duties and Scope of Employment.

 

(a)
At-Will Employment. Executive’s Employment with the Company is for no specified period and constitutes “at
will” employment. Except as otherwise set forth herein, Executive is free to terminate Employment at any time, with or without
advance notice, and for any reason or for no reason. Similarly, the Company is free to terminate Executive’s Employment at any
time, with or without advance notice, and with or without Cause (as defined below). Furthermore, although terms and conditions of Executive’s
Employment with the Company may change over time, nothing shall change the at-will nature of Executive’s Employment.

 

(b)
Position and Responsibilities. During the Employment Period, the Company agrees to employ Executive in the position of
Chief Executive Officer. Executive will report to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) or to
such other Person as the Board subsequently may determine (“Executive’s Supervisor”). Executive will
be working out of the Company’s headquarters (whether in Santa Clara, California or elsewhere) as frequently as reasonably required
to carry out Executive’s duties and responsibilities (which is anticipated to be at least 2 times per month). Executive will perform
the duties and have the responsibilities and authority customarily performed and held by an employee in Executive’s position or
as otherwise may be assigned or delegated to Executive by Executive’s Supervisor.

 

(c)
Obligations to the Company. During the Employment Period, Executive shall perform Executive’s duties faithfully and
to the best of Executive’s ability and will devote Executive’s full business efforts and time to the Company. During the
Employment Period, without the prior written approval of Executive’s Supervisor, Executive shall not render services in any capacity
to any other Person and shall not act as a sole proprietor, advisor or partner of any other Person or own more than five percent (5%)
of the stock of any other corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may (i) serve on civic, non-profit, or charitable boards
or committees, deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements, teach at educational institutions, or manage personal investments without
advance written consent of Executive’s Supervisor; provided that such activities do not individually or in the aggregate interfere
with the performance of Executive’s duties under this Agreement or create a potential business or fiduciary conflict; (ii) may
continue to serve as the Chairperson of the Board of Directors and/or Security Director of Radisson Hospitality, Inc.; and (iii) may
serve on the Board of Directors of Hitachi Ventara Federal. Executive shall comply with the Company’s policies and rules, as they
may be in effect from time to time during Executive’s Employment.

 

     

     

    

 

(d)
No Conflicting Obligations. Executive represents and warrants to the Company that Executive is under no obligations or
commitments, whether contractual or otherwise, that are inconsistent with Executive’s obligations under this Agreement or that
would otherwise prohibit Executive from performing Executive’s duties with the Company. In connection with Executive’s Employment,
Executive shall not use or disclose any trade secrets or other proprietary information or intellectual property in which Executive or
any other Person has any right, title or interest and Executive represents and warrants to the Company that Executive’s Employment
will not infringe or violate the rights of any other Person. Executive represents and warrants to the Company that Executive has returned
all property and confidential information belonging to any prior employer.

 

2.
Base Salary and Incentive Compensation.

 

(a)
Base Salary. The Company shall pay Executive, as compensation for Executive’s services, a base salary at a gross
annual rate of $800,000, less all required tax withholdings and other applicable deductions, in accordance with the Company’s standard
payroll procedures. The annual compensation specified in this Section 2(a), together with any modifications in such compensation that
the Company may make from time to time, is referred to in this Agreement as the “Base Salary.” Executive’s
Base Salary will be subject to review and adjustments that will be made based upon the Company’s normal performance review practices.
Effective as of the date of any change to Executive’s Base Salary, the Base Salary as so changed shall be considered the new Base
Salary for all purposes of this Agreement.

 

(b)
Cash Incentive Bonus. Executive will be eligible to be considered for an annual cash incentive bonus (the “Cash
Bonus”) each calendar year during the Employment Period based upon the achievement of certain objective or subjective criteria
(collectively, the “Performance Goals”). In compliance with all relevant legal requirements and based on Executive’s
level within the Company, the Performance Goals for Executive’s Cash Bonus for a particular year will be established by, and in
the sole discretion of, the Board or any Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”). The initial
target amount for any such Cash Bonus will be up to 100% of Executive’s Base Salary (the “Target Bonus Percentage”),
less all required tax withholdings and other applicable deductions. The target amount of the Cash Bonus for 2021 will be prorated based
on actual salary earned during 2021. Executive’s 2021 Cash Bonus will be paid at 100% of the target amount (subject to proration)
if (i) the Closing Date occurs and (ii) the Federal Aviation Administration issues the Company licenses to launch, each on or before
December 31, 2021. The determinations of the Board or the Committee, as applicable, with respect to such Cash Bonus or the Target Bonus
Percentage shall be final and binding. Executive’s Cash Bonus or Target Bonus Percentage for any year subsequent to 2021 may be
adjusted up or down, as determined in the sole discretion of the Board or the Committee. Executive shall not earn a Cash Bonus unless
Executive is employed by the Company on the date when such Cash Bonus is actually paid by the Company.

 

(c)
Equity Award. Subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of Parent (the “Parent Board”)
or the Compensation Committee of the Parent Board (the “Parent Committee”), the Closing of the Transactions
(as defined in the Merger Agreement) and Executive’s continuous Employment through the Grant Date (as defined below), Executive
will be granted an award (a “RSU Award”) of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) denominated
in shares of Parent Class A Common Stock (“Shares”) with a grant date fair value of $10,000,000 (the “Award
Value”). The number of RSUs and Shares subject to the RSU Award will be equal to the Award Value divided by the closing
price per Share on the Closing Date, rounded down to the nearest whole Share. The RSU Award will be granted as soon as reasonably practicable
following Parent’s filing of a Form S-8 registration statement registering the Shares subject to the RSU Award (such date, the
“Grant Date”). The RSU Award will be immediately vested as to 6.25% of the total number of RSUs on the Grant
Date. The RSU Award will vest as to 18.75% of the total number of RSUs upon the first anniversary of the Effective Date and as to 25%
of the total number of RSUs on each of the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the Effective Date, subject to Executive’s
continued Employment through each such vesting date. The RSU Award will be subject to the settlement and other terms and conditions of
the Company’s equity incentive plan under which it is granted (the “Plan”) and the Company’s standard
form of RSU agreement under the Plan, which Executive will be required to sign. If the Closing of the Transactions does not occur, Executive
will be eligible for a new hire equity award of such type and covering such number of shares as will be determined in the sole discretion
of the Board or the Committee, as applicable.

year in which such expenses are incurred.

 

5.

calendar year to the date on which the Release becomes effective, in which case the severance payments and benefits that are Deferred
Payments shall be paid or commence on the first payroll period of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Termination
Date occurs. For the avoidance of doubt, Accrued Benefits are not subject to the provisions of this Section 7(a).

compensation not exempt under Section 409A (as defined below) (each, a “Deferred Payment”) will be paid or
otherwise provided until Executive has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A and for purposes of
this Agreement, any reference to “termination of employment,” “termination” or any similar term shall be construed
to mean a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.

 

(b)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is a “specified employee” within the
meaning of Section 409A at the time of Executive’s termination of employment (other than due to death), then the Deferred Payments,
if any, that are payable within the first six (6) months following Executive’s separation from service, will become payable on
the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Executive’s separation
from service. All subsequent Deferred Payments, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment
or benefit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Executive dies following Executive’s separation from service, but
prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the separation from service, then any payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph will
be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Executive’s death and all other Deferred Payments
will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Each payment, installment and benefit
payable under this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.

 

(c)
Without limitation, any amount paid under this Agreement that satisfies the requirements of the “short-term deferral” rule
set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations is not intended to constitute a Deferred Payment for purposes of Section
8(a) above.

 

(d)
Without limitation, any amount paid under this Agreement that qualifies as a payment made as a result of an involuntary separation from
service pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations that does not exceed the Section 409A Limit (as defined below)
is not intended to constitute a Deferred Payment for purposes of Section 8(a) above. Any payment intended to qualify under this exemption
must be made within the allowable time period specified in Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations. “Section
409A Limit” means two (2) times the lesser of: (i) Executive’s annualized compensation based upon the annual rate
of pay paid to Executive during Executive’s taxable year preceding Executive’s taxable year of his or her separation from
service as determined under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1) and any Internal Revenue Service guidance issued with
respect thereto; or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the

(e)
Notwithstanding the payment provisions of Section 6, in the event and to the extent that the form of the severance benefit or payment
to be provided after a Change in Control is different than the form of such severance benefit or payment to be provided prior to a Change
in Control and if the applicable severance benefit or payment is a Deferred Payment, then the form of post-Change in Control severance
benefit or payment shall be given effect only to the extent permitted by Section 409A and if not so permitted, such post-Change in Control
severance benefit or payment shall be provided in the same form that applies prior to the Change in Control.

 

(f)
To the extent that reimbursements or in-kind benefits under this Agreement constitute non-exempt “nonqualified deferred compensation”
for purposes of Section 409A, (i) all reimbursements hereunder shall be made on or prior to the last day of the calendar year following
the calendar year in which the expense was incurred by Executive, (ii) any right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject
to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (iii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided
in any calendar year shall not in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other
calendar year.

 

(g)
The payments and benefits provided under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from or comply with the requirements of Section 409A
so that none of the payments or benefits to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and
any ambiguities or ambiguous terms herein will be interpreted to be exempt or so comply. The Company and Executive agree to work together
in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions that are necessary, appropriate or desirable
to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual payment to Executive under Section 409A.

successor or predecessor of the Company, and each of the Company’s and these entities’ respective officers, directors, agents
or employees, shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration before a single arbitrator in San Jose, California (or another mutually
agreeable location). This does not prevent either Executive or the Company from seeking and obtaining temporary or preliminary injunctive
relief in court to prevent irreparable harm to Executive’s or its confidential information or trade secrets pending the conclusion
of any arbitration. This arbitration agreement does not apply to any claims that have been expressly excluded from arbitration by a governing
law not preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act and does not restrict or preclude Executive from communicating with, filing an administrative
charge or claim with, or providing testimony to any governmental entity about any actual or potential violation of law or obtaining relief
through a government agency process. The parties hereto agree that claims shall be resolved on an individual basis only, and not on a
class, collective, or representative basis on behalf of other employees to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (“Class
Waiver”). Any claim that all or part of the Class Waiver is invalid, unenforceable, or unconscionable may be determined
only by a court. In no case may class, collective or representative claims proceed in arbitration on behalf of other employees.

The
parties agree that the arbitration shall be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator through JAMS in accordance with JAMS Employment
Arbitration Rules and Procedures (available at www.jamsadr.com/rules-employment-arbitration). Except as to the Class Waiver, the arbitrator
shall determine arbitrability. The Company will bear all JAMS arbitration fees and administrative costs in excess of the amount of administrative
fees and costs that Executive otherwise would have been required to pay if the claims were litigated in court. The arbitrator shall apply
the applicable substantive law in deciding the claims at issue. Claims will be governed by their applicable statute of limitations and
failure to demand arbitration within the prescribed time period shall bar the claims as provided by law. The decision or award of the
arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties. This arbitration agreement is enforceable under and governed by the Federal Arbitration
Act. In the event that any portion of this arbitration agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, any such provision shall be
severed, and the remainder of this arbitration agreement will be given full force and effect. By signing the offer letter, Executive
acknowledges and agrees that Executive has read this arbitration agreement carefully, are bound by it and are WAIVING ANY RIGHT TO HAVE
A TRIAL BEFORE A COURT OR JURY OF ANY AND ALL CLAIMS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION UNDER THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to conform to applicable law so as to be valid and enforceable or, if such provision
