provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.12 and 11.06) and any other Loan Document that might otherwise result in a breach of this Agreement or create a Default or an Event of Default as a result of or
in connection with the consummation of any Borrower Loan Purchase. The Lenders acknowledge that purchases made by the Borrower Assignee pursuant to this Section 2.13 will result in the retirement of Term Loans on a non-pro rata basis
among the Lenders. The Lenders further acknowledge that any payment made to a Lender in connection with a Borrower Loan Purchase is solely for the account of such Lender and no ratable sharing of such proceeds is required under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document.

 AMENDED AND RESTATED 
 CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT 
 THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED CHANGE OF CONTROL
AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is made on this 12th day of June, 2009, by and between VIROPHARMA INCORPORATED (the “Company”) and
                     (the “Employee”). 
 WHEREAS, the Employee serves as an employee of the Company; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company and the Employee are
parties to a previously executed Change of Control Agreement (the “Prior Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and the Employee established certain protections for the Employee in the event of Employee’s termination of
employment under the circumstances described herein; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Employee now desire to amend and restate the Prior
Agreement in its entirety. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and promises contained herein, and
intending to be bound hereby, the parties agree as follows: 
 SECTION 1 Definitions. As used herein: 
 1.1. “Base Salary” means, as of any given date, the annual base rate of salary payable to the Employee by the Company, as then in
effect; provided, however, that in the case of a resignation by the Employee for the Good Reason described in Section 1.7.3, “Base Salary” will mean the annual base rate of salary payable to the Employee by the Company, as in
effect immediately prior to the reduction giving rise to the Good Reason. 
 1.2. “Board” means the Board of Directors of
the Company. 

 1.3. “Cause” means fraud, embezzlement, or any other criminal conduct that adversely
affects the Company, committed intentionally by the Employee in connection with the Employee’s employment by the Company, or the Employee’s conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, any felony. 
 1.4. “Change of Control” means the happening of an event, which shall be deemed to have occurred upon the earliest to occur of the
following events: 
 1.4.1. the date the stockholders of the Company (or the Board, if stockholder action is not required) approve a plan or
other arrangement pursuant to which the Company will be dissolved or liquidated; 
 1.4.2. the date the stockholders of the Company (or the
Board, if stockholder action is not required) approve a definitive agreement to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; 
 1.4.3. the date the stockholders of the Company (or the Board, if stockholder action is not required) and the stockholders of the other constituent corporations (or their respective boards of directors, if and to the
extent that stockholder action is not required) have approved a definitive agreement to merge or consolidate the Company with or into another corporation, other than, in either case, a merger or consolidation of the Company in which holders of
shares of the Company’s voting capital stock immediately prior to the merger or consolidation will have more than 50% of the ownership of voting capital stock of the surviving corporation immediately after the merger or consolidation (on a
fully diluted basis), which voting capital stock is to be held in the same proportion (on a fully diluted basis) as such holders’ ownership of voting capital stock of the Company immediately before the merger or consolidation; 
 1.4.4. the date any entity, person or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act), other than
(i) the Company, or (ii) any of its subsidiaries, or (iii) any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (iv) any affiliate (as such term is defined in Rule 405
promulgated under the Securities Act) of any of the foregoing, shall have acquired beneficial ownership of, or shall have acquired voting control over, 50% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s voting capital stock (on a fully
diluted basis), unless the transaction pursuant to which such person, entity or group acquired such beneficial ownership or control (i) resulted from the original issuance by the Company of share of its voting capital stock, (ii) was
approved by at least a majority of Directors who were either members of the Board on June 11, 2009 or members of the Board for at least twelve (12) months before the date of such approval and (iii) does not otherwise constitute a
Change of Control pursuant to Section 1.4.3 of this Agreement; 
 1.4.5. the first day after the date of this Agreement when members of
the Board (each a “Director”) are elected such that there is a change in the composition of the Board such that a majority of Directors have been members of the Board for less than twelve (12) months, unless the nomination for
election of each new Director who was not a Director at the beginning of such twelve (12) month period was approved by a vote of at least sixty percent (60%) of the Directors then still in office who were Directors at the beginning of such
period; 
  

 -2- 

 provided, however, for purposes of determining the precise date of any Change of Control, an event described above
will be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the last condition required for the consummation of that event is fulfilled or otherwise completed. 
 1.5. “Code” means Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 
 1.6.
“Disability” means a condition entitling the Employee to benefits under the Company’s long term disability plan, policy or arrangement; provided, however, that if no such plan, policy or arrangement is then maintained by
the Company and applicable to the Employee, “Disability” will mean the Employee’s inability, by reason of any physical or mental impairment, to substantially perform Employee’s regular duties to the Company, as determined by the
Board in its sole discretion (after affording the Employee the opportunity to present Employee’s case), which inability is reasonably contemplated to continue for at least one year from its commencement and at least 90 days from the date of
such determination. 
 1.7. “Good Reason” means, without the Employee’s prior written consent, any of the following:

 1.7.1. a material diminution in the Employee’s authorities, duties, titles or responsibilities; 
 1.7.2. the location of the facility at which Employee is required to perform his or her duties is more than 50 miles from Exton, Pennsylvania;

 1.7.3. a reduction of the Employee’s Base Salary or the amount of the Employee’s Target Bonus of five percent (5%) or
more; 
 1.7.4. the Company’s failure to pay or make available any material payment or benefit due under this Agreement or any other
material breach by the Company of this Agreement. 
 However, the foregoing events or conditions will constitute Good Reason only if (A) such event or
condition occurs during the period beginning ninety (90) days immediately preceding a Change of Control and ending twenty-four (24) months thereafter and (B) the Employee provides the Company with written objection to the event or
condition within 60 days following the occurrence thereof, the Company does not reverse or otherwise cure the event or condition within 30 days of receiving that written objection and the Employee resigns Employee’s employment within 90 days
following the expiration of that cure period. 
 1.8. “Release” means a release substantially identical to the one attached
hereto as Exhibit A. 
 1.9. “Target Bonus” means, with respect to any year, 100% of the target amount of the
Employee’s annual bonus opportunity, expressed as a percentage of Base Salary, that would be payable to the Employee with respect to that year, whether under an employment or incentive agreement, under any bonus plan or policy of the Company or
otherwise, assuming that all applicable performance goals are met and conditions to the payment of such bonus are satisfied. 
  

 -3- 

 SECTION 2 Certain Terminations Following a Change of Control. 
 2.1. Severance Events Following a Change of Control. If the Employee’s employment with the Company ceases within the twenty-four
(24) month period following the date of a Change of Control as a result of a termination by the Company without Cause, a resignation by the Employee for Good Reason or due to Employee’s death or Disability, then, subject to Section 3
and Section 5, the Employee will be entitled to the following: 
 2.1.1. (i) any Base Salary earned through the effective date of
termination that remains unpaid, with any such amounts paid on the first regularly scheduled payroll date following the effective date of termination; (ii) any bonus payable with respect to any fiscal year which ended prior to the effective
date of the Employee’s termination of employment, which remains unpaid, with such amount paid in the first regularly scheduled payroll date following the effective date of termination or, if later, at the same time the bonus would have
otherwise been payable to the Employee; and (iii) any reimbursement or payment due to the Employee on or prior to the date of such termination which remains unpaid to the Employee, with any such payment being made promptly following the
effective date of termination (collectively, the “Accrued Obligations”); 
 2.1.2. a lump sum cash payment equal to 200% of
the Employee’s Base Salary as in effect on such date (without taking into effect any reduction described in Section 1.7.3 above); 
 2.1.3. a lump sum cash payment equal to two (2) times his annual Target Bonus as in effect on such date; and 
 2.1.4. for a
period of eighteen (18) months commencing from the date of the Employee’s termination of employment, the Company will waive all applicable premiums otherwise due for any group health continuation coverage elected by the Employee or
Employee’s spouse or eligible dependents under COBRA (29 U.S.C. §§ 1161-1169) equal to the amount paid by the Company towards its “group health plans” during Employee’s term of employment with the Company. 

2.2. Severance Events Preceding a Change of Control. If the Employee’s employment with the Company ceases during the ninety (90) days
immediately preceding the date of a Change of Control as a result of a termination by the Company without Cause, a resignation by the Employee for Good Reason or due to Employee’s death or Disability, then, subject to Section 3 and
Section 5, the Employee will be entitled to the following: 
 2.2.1. the Accrued Obligations; 
 2.2.2. the Company will make a lump sum cash payment to the Employee equal to 200% of the Employee’s Base Salary as in effect on such date (without
taking into effect any reduction described in Section 1.7.3 above); 
 2.2.3. a lump sum cash payment equal to two (2) times his
annual Target Bonus as in effect on such date; and 
  

 -4- 

 2.2.4. for a period of eighteen (18) months commencing from the date of the Employee’s
termination of employment, the Company will waive all applicable premiums otherwise due for any group health continuation coverage elected by the Employee or Employee’s spouse or eligible dependents under COBRA (29 U.S.C. §§
1161-1169) equal to the amount paid by the Company towards its “group health plans” during Employee’s term of employment with the Company; provided that, if applicable, the Employee will be reimbursed for COBRA premiums paid
out-of-pocket for the period following his or her termination of employment and preceding the Change of Control equal to the amount paid by the Company towards its “group health plans” during Employee’s term of employment with the
Company; and provided further that if the Employee or Employee’s spouse or eligible dependents, as applicable, have not elected (and is no longer eligible to elect) COBRA continuation coverage, no waiver or reimbursement will be made
pursuant to this Section 2.2.3. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in Sections 2.1.2,
2.1.3 or Section 2.2.2 and 2.2.3 arises due to the Employee’s death or Disability, the cash payments described in Sections 2.1.2, 2.1.3, 2.2.2 and 2.2.3 will be reduced by the amount of benefits paid or payable to the Employee (or
Employee’s representative(s), heirs, estate or beneficiaries) pursuant to the life insurance or disability plans, policies or arrangements of the Company by virtue of Employee’s death or Disability (including, for this purpose, only that
portion of such life insurance or disability benefits funded solely by the Company or by premium payments made by the Company and not including the portion of such benefits paid for by the Employee). The payments and benefits described in this
Section are in lieu of (and not in addition to) any other severance plan, fund, agreement or other arrangement maintained by the Company. 
 SECTION 3 Timing of Payments Following Termination. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the payments and benefits described in Section 2 (other than any Accrued Obligations) are conditioned on the Employee’s
execution and delivery to the Company of the Release in a manner consistent with applicable law. The amounts described in Sections 2.1.2, 2.1.3 or Section 2.2.2 and 2.2.3 (as applicable) will be paid in a lump sum, as soon as the Release
becomes irrevocable following the Employee’s execution and delivery of the Release. 
 SECTION 4 Parachute Payments. 

4.1. The payments and benefits provided under Section 2 shall be made without regard to whether such payments and benefits, either alone or in
conjunction with any other payments or benefits made available to the Employee by the Company and its affiliates, will result in the Employee being subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”) or
whether the deductibility of such payments and benefits would be limited or precluded by Section 280G of the Code; provided, however, that if the Total After-Tax Payments (as defined below) would be increased by limitation or elimination
of payments or benefits provided under Section 2, then the amounts and benefits payable under Section 2 will be reduced to the minimum extent necessary to maximize the Total After-Tax Payments. For purposes of this Section 4,
“Total After-Tax Payments” means the total of all “parachute payments” (as that term is defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) made to or for the benefit of the Employee (whether made under this Agreement or
otherwise), after reduction for all applicable taxes (including, without limitation, the Excise Tax). If a reduction to the payments or benefits 

  

 -5- 

 
provided under Section 2 is required pursuant to this Section 4, such reduction shall occur to the payments and benefits in the order that results
in the greatest economic present value of all payments and benefits actually made to the Employee. 
 4.2. All determinations to be made
under this Section 4 shall be made by the Company’s independent public accountant (the “Accounting Firm”) immediately prior to the Change of Control. In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or
auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change of Control, the Employee may appoint another nationally recognized public accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to
as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Employee, except as described in the next
Section. 
 4.3. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 280G and Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the
Change of Control, it is possible that payments and benefits which will not have been made or provided by the Company should have been made (“Underpayment”) or payments and benefits are made or provided by the Company which should
not have been made (“Overpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that there is a final determination by the Internal Revenue Service, or a final determination by a court of competent
jurisdiction, that an Overpayment has been made, any such Overpayment shall repaid to the Company by the Employee within 30 days of such determination, with interest at the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2). In the
event that there is a final determination by the Internal Revenue Service, or a final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction, any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Employee together with
interest at the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code, within 30 days of such determination. 
 4.4.
Employee shall take such action (other than waiving Employee’s right to any payments or benefits) as the Company reasonably requests under the circumstances to mitigate or challenge any tax contemplated by this Section 4. If the Company
reasonably requests that the Employee take action to mitigate or challenge, or to mitigate and challenge, any such tax or assessment and the Employee complies with such request, the Company shall provide the Employee with such information and such
expert advice and assistance from the Company’s accountants, lawyers and other advisors as the Employee may reasonably request and shall pay for all expenses incurred in effecting such compliance and any related fines, penalties, interest and
other assessments. 
 SECTION 5 Restrictive Covenants. 
 5.1. During the period of the Employee’s employment by the Company and, only if the Employee’s employment with the Company terminates pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2 and the Employee begins to receive
the payments and benefits provided for under either such Section, for a period of one (1) year beginning on the later of (i) the Employee’s termination of employment and (ii) the date of a Change of Control (the
“Restricted Period”), except with the 

  

 -6- 

 
written consent of the Board, the Employee will not (except in his capacity as an employee of the Company) do any of the following, directly or indirectly:

 5.1.1. the Employee shall not directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control, finance or participate in the ownership,
management, operation, control or financing of, or be connected as an officer, director, employee, partner, principal, agent, representative, stockholder, consultant, investor or otherwise with, or use or permit his name to be used in connection
with, any person, business or enterprise which directly or indirectly engages in the development, marketing or sale of prescription drug products or compounds that are competitive with: (i) those products being marketed by the Company at the
time of the Employee’s termination; (ii) those products, product candidates or compounds in clinical development or a clinical research program; or (iii) those products, product candidates or compounds that Employee was aware were
under pre-clinical development by the Company and expected to be in clinical development or in a clinical research program within 6 months of the Employee’s termination (collectively, the “Company’s Business”). 

5.1.2. solicit, entice or induce any customer to become a customer of any other person, firm or corporation with respect to the Company’s
Business or to cease doing business with the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, and the Employee will not approach any such person, firm or corporation for such purpose or authorize or knowingly approve, encourage or assist the taking of
such actions by any other person, firm or corporation; or 
 5.1.3. solicit, recruit or hire any part-time or full-time employee,
representative or consultant of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates to work for a third party other than the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, or engage in any activity that would cause any employee, representative or consultant
to violate any agreement with the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates. The foregoing covenant shall not apply to any person after twelve (12) months have elapsed after the date on which such person’s employment by the Company has
terminated. 
 5.2. The foregoing restrictions shall not be construed to prohibit the Employee’s ownership of less than five percent of
any class of securities of any corporation which is engaged in any of the foregoing businesses and has a class of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provided that such ownership represents a passive
investment and that neither the Employee nor any group of persons including the Employee in any way, either directly or indirectly, manages or exercises control of any such corporation, guarantees any of its financial obligations, otherwise takes
any part in its business, other than exercising the Employee’s rights as a stockholder, or seeks to do any of the foregoing. 
 5.3. The
Employee acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 5 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company and its affiliates, that the Company would not have entered into this Agreement in the
absence of such restrictions, and that any violation of any provision of this Section will result in irreparable injury to the Company. The Employee further represents and acknowledges that (i) he has been advised by the Company to consult his
own legal counsel in respect of this Agreement, and (ii)

  

 -7- 

 
that he has had full opportunity, prior to execution of this Agreement, to review thoroughly this Agreement with his counsel. 
 5.4. Employee agrees that the Company shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving actual damages,
as well as an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from any violation of this Section 5, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which the Company may be entitled.
In the event that any of the provisions of this Section 5 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, service, or other limitations permitted by applicable law in any jurisdiction, then such provisions shall be deemed reformed in
such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, service, or other limitations permitted by applicable law. The Employee agrees to disclose the existence and terms of this Section 5 to any employer that the Employee may work for during the
Restricted Period. If the Employee breaches this Section 5 in any respect, the restrictions contained in herein will be extended for a period equal to the period that the Employee was in breach. 
 SECTION 6 Miscellaneous. 
 6.1.
Section 409A. This Agreement shall be interpreted to avoid any penalty sanctions under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If any payment or benefit cannot be provided or made at the
time specified herein without incurring sanctions under Section 409A, then such benefit or payment shall be provided in full at the earliest time thereafter when such sanctions will not be imposed. All payments to be made upon a termination of
employment under this Agreement will be made upon a ‘separation from service’ under Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each payment made under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate
payment. In no event may the Employee, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment. To the maximum extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code and its corresponding regulations, the cash severance benefits payable under
this Agreement are intended to meet the requirements of the short-term deferral exemption under Section 409A of the Code and the ‘separation pay exception’ under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii). However, if such severance
benefits do not qualify for such exemptions at the time of the Employee’s termination of employment and therefore are deemed as deferred compensation subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, then if the Employee is a
“specified employee” under Section 409A of the Code on the date of the Employee’s termination of employment, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, payment of severance under this Agreement shall be delayed for a
period of six months from the date of the Employee’s termination of employment if required by Section 409A of the Code. The accumulated postponed amount shall be paid in a lump sum payment within 10 days after the end of the six-month
period. If the Employee dies during the postponement period prior to payment of the postponed amount, the amounts withheld on account of Section 409A of the Code shall be paid to the Employee’s estate within 60 days after the date of the
Employee’s death. 
 6.2. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for the duration of the
Employee’s employment with the Company; provided, however, that after the termination of the Employee’s employment, this Agreement shall remain in effect until all of the obligations of the parties hereunder are satisfied or have
expired. 
  

 -8- 

 6.3. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
Company and Employee and their respective successors, executors, administrators, heirs and/or permitted assigns; provided, however, that neither Employee nor the Company may make any assignments of this Agreement or any interest herein, by
operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party, except that, without such consent, the Company may assign this Agreement to any successor to all or substantially all of its assets and business by means of
liquidation, dissolution, merger, consolidation, transfer of assets, or otherwise. 
 6.4. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to the application of the principles of conflicts of laws. 
 6.5. Enforcement. Any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be instituted in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, or if that court does not
have or will not accept jurisdiction, in any court of general jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the Employee and the Company hereby consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of such court(s) and hereby waive any
objection(s) that they may have to personal jurisdiction, the laying of venue of any such proceeding and any claim or defense of inconvenient forum. 
 6.6. Waivers; Separability. The waiver by either party hereto of any right hereunder or any failure to perform or breach by the other party hereto shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or
any other failure or breach by the other party hereto, whether of the same or a similar nature or otherwise. No waiver shall be deemed to have occurred unless set forth in a writing executed by or on behalf of the waiving party. No such written
waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver shall operate only as to the specific term or condition waived. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such
manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability will not affect any other provision or the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. 
 6.7. Notices. All notices and communications that are required or
permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered personally or upon mailing by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, as follows:

understanding of the parties relating to the provision of severance benefits upon termination in connection with a Change of Control, and merges and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous discussions, agreements and understandings of every nature
relating to that subject, including, without limitation, the Prior Agreement.

payments due to Employee hereunder, all taxes, FICA or other amounts required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law.

 EXHIBIT A 
 RELEASE AND NON-DISPARAGEMENT AGREEMENT 
 THIS RELEASE AND NON-DISPARAGEMENT AGREEMENT (this
“Release”) is made as of the      day of                 ,          by and between
                             (the “Employee”) and VIROPHARMA, INCORPORATED (the
“Company”). 
 WHEREAS, the Employee’s employment as an executive of the Company has terminated; and 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 2 of the Change of Control Agreement by and between the Company and the Employee dated as of
                ,               (the “Change of Control Agreement”), the Company has agreed
to pay the Employee certain amounts and to provide Employee with certain rights and benefits, subject to the execution of this Release. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and the mutual promises contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows: 
 SECTION 1 Consideration. The Employee acknowledges that: (a) the payments, rights and benefits set forth in Section 2 of the Change of
Control Agreement constitute full settlement of all of Employee’s rights under the Change of Control Agreement, (b) the Employee has no entitlement under any other severance or similar arrangement maintained by the Company, and
(c) except as otherwise provided specifically in this Release, the Company does not and will not have any other liability or obligation to the Employee. The Employee further acknowledges that, in the absence of Employee’s execution of this
Release, the payments and benefits specified in Section 2 of the Change of Control Agreement would not otherwise be due to the Employee. 
 SECTION 2 Release and Covenant Not to Sue. The Employee hereby fully and forever releases and discharges the Company and its parents, affiliates and subsidiaries, including all predecessors and successors, assigns, officers,
directors, trustees, employees, agents and attorneys, past and present (the Company and each such person or entity is referred to as a “Released Person”), from any and all claims, demands, liens, agreements, contracts, covenants,
actions, suits, causes of action, obligations, controversies, debts, costs, expenses, damages, judgments, orders and liabilities, of whatever kind or nature, direct or indirect, in law, equity or otherwise, whether known or unknown, arising through
the date of this Release, out of Employee’s employment by the Company or the termination thereof, including, but not limited to, any claims for relief or causes of action under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. § 621
et seq., or any other federal, state or local statute, ordinance or regulation regarding discrimination in employment and any claims, demands or actions based upon alleged wrongful or retaliatory discharge or breach of contract under any
state or federal law. The Employee expressly represents that he has not filed a lawsuit or initiated any other administrative proceeding against a Released Person, and that he has not assigned any claim against a Released Person. The Employee

Release (or such longer period required by applicable state law), in which case this Release shall be unenforceable, null and void. The Employee may revoke this Release during those seven (7) days (or such longer period required by applicable
state law) by providing written notice of revocation to the Company at the address specified in Section 6.7 of the Change of Control Agreement.

of the Change of Control Agreement will be due to the Employee.
