 (c) Any claim for attorneys’ fees, cost of prosecution and the like. 

2. Forbearance of Litigation 
 It
is further specifically acknowledged by Hull that neither he nor any person, organization or other entity acting on his behalf has or will file, charge, claim, sue or cause or permit to be filed any charge, claim or action for damages or other

releases forever any right or rights he might have to such employment, reemployment or reinstatement. 

 4. No Admission of Liability 
 It is further understood and agreed by Hull that this settlement is a compromise of doubtful and disputed claims and that this agreement is not and is not
to be construed as an admission of liability on the part of the Company, the other Releasees or any of them, by whom liability is expressly denied. The parties have entered into this Agreement for the sole purpose of avoiding the burden, expenses,
delay and uncertainties of litigation. 
 5. Payments to Hull 
 (a) Hull acknowledges payment prior to the date hereof in the amount of $8,461.54 in respect of all accrued and unused vacation time through the
Termination Date. 
 (b) In consideration for the release of claims and all other obligations undertaken herein by Hull, after the execution
of this Agreement and receipt of all of the Company property described in paragraph 3 above, the Company will pay to Hull the full amount of the severance payments to which he would be entitled under the Employment Letter; provided, however, that
the parties intend and agree that Employment Letter is hereby deemed amended to limit the amount of severance payments under the Employment Letter to the amounts permissible under Internal Revenue Code Prop. Regs. 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii). Pursuant to
the amended Employment Letter, severance payments shall be made in the aggregate amount of $100,000 (the “Severance Payment”), subject to Hull’s continued compliance with his obligations under this Agreement and the Employee NDA
Agreement. The Severance Payment will be made in one lump sum on the first business day following the six-month anniversary of the Termination Date. Advances made on or prior to May 31, 2006 in the amount of $33,205.16 (“Advances”) as
further consideration for (i) Hull’s compliance with the terms of the Employee NDA Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3 thereof relating to non-competition and non-solicitation (the “Non-Competition
Provisions”)) and (ii) consulting and transition services provided by Hull to the Company since the Termination Date, will be credited against the Severance Payment if such Severance Payment becomes due and payable. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that Hull violates any provision of the Employee NDA Agreement (including, without limitation, the Non-Competition Provisions), the Severance Payment shall not be payable and Hull will be required immediately to repay the
Advances in full to the Company. 
 6. Choice of Law 
 This document is deemed to have been delivered within the State of New Hampshire, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of
the State of New Hampshire without regard to conflict of law rules. 

 7. Partial Invalidity 
 Should any provision of this Agreement be declared or be determined by any court to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining
parts, terms and provisions shall not be in any way affected or impaired thereby, and said invalid, illegal or unenforceable part, term or provision shall be modified so that the unenforceable term or section is enforceable to the greatest extent
possible and if that is not possible, shall be deemed not to be part of this Agreement. 
 8. Hull represents and warrants that he has
