 RECITALS 
  
 A. Executive is employed by the
Company as Senior Vice President and General Counsel. 
  
 B. The
Company and Executive entered into the John Danforth Employment Agreement, effective January 6, 2006 (the “Original Agreement”). The Company retained Executive’s services full time during the period they mutually agreed (the
“Full-Time Employment Term”) and thereafter as a part-time employee through the period of an additional twelve months, working a minimum of half-time (the “Part-Time Employment Term”), upon the terms set forth herein. 

 
 C. Under the Original Agreement, Executive’s restricted stock units
would have fully vested on a date which is not within an open trading window. Executive and the Company agreed, with the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors to change such vesting date to a date which is within an open
trading window. 
  
 D. Section 7(a) of the Original
Agreement, provides that the Original Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Company and Executive. 
  
 E. The Company and Executive desire to amend and restate the Original Agreement. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

all other obligations of the parties hereunder have been made or satisfied. 
  
 2. Duties of Executive. 
  
 (a) Full-Time Employment Term. During the Full-Time Employment Term, Executive shall devote his full-time during normal business hours to the Company, with such duties as the Board and CEO assign to him. During the Full-Time
Employment Term, Executive’s compensation and other benefits shall be as provided in Section 3(a). 
  
 (b) Part-Time Employment Term. During the Part-Time Employment Term Executive agrees to perform services as a Section 16 officer, part-time
employee working a minimum of half-time as is reasonably requested by the Company. During the Part-Time Employment Term, Executive’s schedule may be reduced below a minimum of half-time only by express written agreement with the Company. During
the Part-Time Employment Term, 

 Executive’s compensation and other benefits shall be as provided in Section 3(b). Subject to providing any
severance due under Section 4(b) hereof, the Company is free to terminate the Part-Time Employment Term at any time, with or without cause or notice, even within 12 months following the Full-Time Employment Term. 
  
 3. Compensation. 
  
 (a) Full-Time Employment Term. 
  
 (i) Cash Compensation. While employed by the Company during the
Full-Time Employment Term (i) Executive shall be paid a base salary and annual target bonus as set by the Company in its sole discretion, and (ii) Executive shall also be paid additional bonuses as set forth in Exhibit A, hereto, if and
when the triggering events set forth in Exhibit A occur, which Exhibit A may from time to time be amended by Company and Executive if and to the extent they mutually agree to such amendments in a signed writing. 
  
 (ii) Benefits. While employed by the Company during the Full-Time
Employment Term, Executive shall be eligible to participate in the employee benefit plans and executive compensation programs maintained by the Company applicable to other key executives of the Company subject, in each case, to the generally

 (b) Part-Time Employment Term. 
  
 (i) Cash Compensation. While employed by the Company during the Part-Time Employment Term (i) Executive shall be paid a base salary pro-rated

(iii) Executive shall be paid those additional bonuses described above in Section 3(a)(i)(ii) and set forth in Exhibit A if and when the triggering events set forth in Exhibit A occur during the Part-time Employment Period. 
  
 (ii) Benefits. While employed by the Company during the Part-Time
Employment Term, Executive shall be eligible to participate in the employee benefit plans and executive compensation programs maintained by the Company applicable to other key executives of the Company, subject, in each case, to the generally

 (c) Stock Options and Other Equity Compensation. Subject to the accelerated vesting provisions of Section 4(b) below, Executive’s options
and other equity compensation awards shall be governed by the provisions of the applicable award agreements by and between Executive and the Company (the “Equity Compensation Agreements”). The vesting and exercisability of such options and
any other awards shall continue during the Full-Time Employment Term and the Part-Time Employment Term, in each case subject to Executive’s continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting dates.

 4. Termination of Employment. 
  
 (a) At-Will Employment. Executive and the Company understand and acknowledge that Executive’s employment with
the Company constitutes “at-will” employment. Subject to the provision of any accelerated equity compensation vesting required under Section 4(b) hereof, Executive and the Company acknowledge that this employment relationship may be
terminated at any time, with or without good cause or notice or for any or no cause, at the option of either the Company or Executive. Executive and the Company further agree that in the event his employment terminates, Executive’s sole remedy
under this Agreement shall be the severance provisions of Section 4(b) hereof. For example, if Executive’s full-time employment terminates on October 23, 2007 and he is not provided with any part-time employment, that shall not
constitute a breach of this Agreement and he shall not be entitled to any severance payments or benefits hereunder or damages for breach of this Agreement. 
  
 (b) Severance: Bonus Payments and Accelerated Vesting In the event that prior to October 22, 2007 (the “Severance Period”)
Executive’s employment is involuntarily terminated by the Company other than (A) for “Cause,” or (B) due to Executive’s death or “Disability” (as such terms are defined herein) then, subject to Executive
executing and not revoking a release of claims in favor of the Company in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, Executive (i) shall receive immediate accelerated vesting of the Shares of the Company’s common stock subject to
stock options to the same extent as if Executive had remained employed by the Company through the end of the Severance Period, (ii) shall receive those additional bonuses described above in Section 3(a)(i)(ii) and set forth in Exhibit A if
and when the triggering events set forth in Exhibit A occur during the Severance Period; provided, however, that such bonuses shall be paid in cash and not in restricted stock units if they are paid pursuant to this Section 4(b),
(iii) shall have the vesting on any bonuses paid or to be paid under Exhibit A, including pursuant to the prior clause (ii), immediately 100% accelerated or shall be 100% vested on the date of grant, as applicable, (iv) shall receive
ongoing base salary payments which shall be at the full-time employment rate if Executive is terminated during the Full-Time Employment Term or the part-time employment rate if Executive is terminated during the Part-Time Employment Term until the
first to occur of (A) the end of the Severance Period, (B) twelve months from the termination date, and (v) shall receive one year’s 100% on-target bonus under the Company’s Corporate Incentive Bonus Plan in effect for the
year of termination, reduced by the same percentage base salary is reduced if Executive is terminated during the Part-Time Employment Term, payable ratably over the period ending on the first to occur of (A) the end of the Severance Period,
(B) twelve months from the termination date, (vi) an additional payment of $2,000 per month through the first to occur of (A) the end of the Severance Period, (B) twelve months from the termination date. Any payments or
reimbursements hereunder shall be delayed for six months if so required by Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and shall be paid in full arrears promptly after such six-month period has elapsed. 
  
 (c) “Cause” Definition. For the purposes of this Agreement,
“Cause” shall mean (i) Executive is convicted of or pleas nolo contendere or guilty to a felony; (ii) Executive engages in conduct that constitutes willful gross neglect or willful gross misconduct, provided that no act or
failure to act shall be considered “willful” under this definition unless Executive acted, or failed to act, with an absence of good faith and without a reasonable belief that Executive’s action, or failure to act, was in the best
interest of the Company; (iii) an act of personal dishonesty taken by Executive in connection with his responsibilities as an employee and intended to result in personal enrichment 
  

 -3- 

 of Executive; (iv) following delivery to Executive of a written demand for performance from the Company which
describes the basis for the Company’s reasonable belief that Executive has not substantially performed his duties, continued violations by Executive of Executive’s obligations to the Company which are demonstrably willful and deliberate on
Executive’s part; provided, however, that failure of Executive to achieve certain results that is not the result of Executive’s demonstrably willful and deliberate dereliction of duty shall not constitute “Cause.” 
  
 (d) “Disability” Definition. For the purposes of this
Agreement, “Disability” shall mean that the Executive has been unable to perform with reasonable accommodation his duties as an employee of the Company (or any subsidiary thereof that employs the Executive at such time) as the result of
his incapacity due to physical or mental illness, and such inability, at least 26 weeks after its commencement, is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable to the Executive or the
Executive’s legal representative (such agreement as to acceptability not to be unreasonably withheld). 
  
 5. Arbitration. Executive agrees that any dispute or controversy arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement (including the
Exhibits hereto), or the interpretation, validity, construction, performance, breach, or termination thereof, shall be finally settled by binding arbitration to be held in Santa Clara County, California under the Commercial Arbitration Rules,
supplemented by the Supplemental Procedures for Large Complex Disputes, of the American Arbitration Association as then in effect (the “Rules”). The arbitrator(s) may grant injunctions or other relief in such dispute or controversy. The
decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties to the arbitration, and judgment may be entered on the decision of the arbitrator(s) in any court having jurisdiction. 
  
 The arbitrator(s) shall apply California law to the merits of any dispute or
claim, without reference to rules of conflicts of law, and the arbitration proceedings shall be governed by federal arbitration law and by the Rules, without reference to state arbitration law. 
  
 the Company shall pay the costs and expenses of such arbitration, and each
party shall pay its own counsel fees and expenses. 
  
 (a)
EMPLOYEE HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THIS SECTION 5, WHICH DISCUSSES ARBITRATION. EMPLOYEE UNDERSTANDS THAT BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, EMPLOYEE AGREES TO SUBMIT ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE
INTERPRETATION, VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION, PERFORMANCE, BREACH OR TERMINATION THEREOF TO BINDING ARBITRATION, AND THAT THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF EMPLOYEE’S RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND RELATES TO THE RESOLUTION OF ALL DISPUTES
RELATING TO EXECUTIVE’S RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COMPANY. 
  
 6.
Indemnification and Insurance. The standard form of indemnification agreement for officers and directors that Executive has entered into and any fiduciary insurance maintained by the Company shall remain in effect to the same extent that said
