 EMPLOYMENT BY THE COMPANY 
 2.1 Position and Duties. Subject to terms set forth herein, the Company agrees to continue to employ Executive in the position of President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive hereby accepts such continued employment. Executive
shall perform such duties as are customarily associated with the position of President and Chief Executive Officer and such other duties as are assigned to Executive by the Board of Directors of the Company. During the term of Executive’s
employment with the Company, Executive will devote Executive’s best efforts and substantially all of Executive’s business time and attention (except for vacation periods and reasonable periods of illness or other incapacities permitted by
the Company’s general employment policies or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement) to the business of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is agreed and understood that Executive shall be allowed to participate on the boards of
directors of the following companies: AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Ren Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; and Executive may be allowed to serve on other boards of directors during his employment with the Board’s prior written consent. 
 2.2 Employment at Will. Both the Company and Executive shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment with the Company at any time,
with or without advance notice, and with or without Cause. If applicable, upon the date of Executive’s termination of employment with the Company for any reason, Executive shall immediately resign from the Board and the board of directors or
comparable body of every subsidiary, parent or other affiliated corporation of the Company, and every committee thereof. Executive shall not receive any compensation of any kind, including, without limitation, severance benefits or change in control
severance benefits, following Executive’s last day of employment with the Company (the “Termination Date”), except as expressly provided for by this Agreement, applicable law, and/or any plan documents governing the
compensatory equity awards that have been or may be granted to Executive from time to time in the sole discretion of the Company. 
  

 3. 

 2.3 Employment Policies. The employment relationship between the parties shall also be governed by
the general employment policies and practices of the Company, including those relating to protection of confidential information and assignment of inventions, except that when the terms of this Agreement differ from or are in conflict with the
Company’s general employment policies or practices, this Agreement shall control. 
 ARTICLE III 
 COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS 
 3.1 Base Salary. Executive shall receive for services to be rendered hereunder an annual base salary of $525,000 (“Base Annual Salary”), less required deductions and withholdings, payable on the regular payroll dates
of the Company. 
 3.2 Annual Bonus. In addition to the Base Annual Salary, during each calendar year Executive will be eligible for an
annual performance bonus, equal to up to 75% of the Base Annual Salary, and which is 100% based upon the achievement of Executive’s performance goals and objectives (“Annual Bonus”). The Compensation Committee of the
Company’s Board shall determine in its sole discretion whether any such Bonus has been earned and, if so, the amount of any such bonus. Executive must be an employee in good standing at the time the Compensation Committee decides to award the
Annual Bonus and, if Executive leaves the Company at any time and for any reason prior to such date, he will not be eligible to receive such a bonus or any pro-rata portion of such bonus. Such Annual Bonus shall be evaluated and paid no later than
December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year to which such Annual Bonus relates. 
 3.3 Vacation and Paid Time Off.
Executive shall be entitled to 20 business days of paid vacation each year, accruing on a monthly basis, and 8 paid holidays each year. 
 3.4 Expenses. During the term of this Agreement, the Company shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Executive in connection with services rendered on behalf of the Company
subject to Executive providing the Company with appropriate substantiation in accordance with Company policy. Any amounts payable under this Section 3.4 shall be made in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv) and
shall be paid on or before the last day of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which Executive incurred the expenses. The amounts provided under this Section 3.4 during any taxable year of Executive’s will not
affect such amounts provided in any other taxable year of Executive’s, and Executive’s right to reimbursement for such amounts shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. 
 3.5 Standard Company Benefits. Executive shall be entitled to all rights and benefits for which Executive is eligible under the terms and conditions
of the standard Company benefits and compensation practices that may be in effect from time to time and are generally provided by the Company to its executive employees, employed at similar full-time or part-time status, as applicable. Any such
benefits and compensation practices shall be subject to the terms of the governing benefit or compensation plans and may be changed by the Company from time to time in its discretion. 
  

 4. 

 3.6 Advance Bonus. In lieu of any relocation benefits that Executive may have been entitled to
receive pursuant to the Company’s relocation benefit policy, as of the date of this Agreement, the Company has advanced to Executive a lump sum amount of $250,000.00, less required tax withholdings (the “Advance Bonus”). This
bonus is considered an advance to Executive and will be deemed earned as follows: 50% on the first anniversary of Executive’s start date and the remaining 50% on the second anniversary of Executive’s start date. If Executive resigns his
employment in the absence of a Constructive Termination, or if the Company terminates Executive’s employment for Cause, at any time during his first year of employment, Executive agrees to repay 100% of the Advance Bonus. If Executive resigns
his employment in the absence of a Constructive Termination, or if the Company terminates Executive’s employment for Cause, at any time during his second year of employment, Executive agrees to repay 50% of the Advance Bonus. If Executive
resigns at any time due to a Constructive Termination, or if Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause at any time, Executive shall not be required to repay the Advance Bonus or any portion thereof. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 SEVERANCE AND CHANGE IN CONTROL BENEFITS 
 4.1 Term Limitation for Severance and Change in Control Benefits. The term
for the Severance Benefits and Change in Control Benefits provided for in this Article IV herein shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue through the third anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Expiration Date”). If
this Article IV is not amended or renewed by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board prior to the Expiration Date, this Article IV (including Executive’s right to receive the Severance Benefits and Change in Control Benefits
contained herein), shall terminate automatically on such Expiration Date; provided, however, that if this Article IV terminates pursuant to this Section 4.1, the remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. 
 4.2 Severance Benefits In Event of Involuntary Termination Without Cause Unrelated to Change in Control. If: (i) Executive’s
employment terminates due to an Involuntarily Termination Without Cause (and other than as a result of Executive’s death or disability) at any time except during the Change in Control Period, (ii) such termination constitutes a
“separation from service” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)), (iii) Executive signs and allows to become effective a general release of all known and unknown claims in the form and substance
acceptable to the Company within sixty (60) days after the Termination Date, and (iv) Executive fully complies with Executive’s continuing fiduciary, statutory and material contractual obligations to the Company (with a 30-day
opportunity to cure after notice of any such non-compliance if Executive has not, unless such non-compliance is not capable of being cured); then the Company shall provide Executive with the following severance benefits (the “Severance
Benefits”): 
 (a) Cash Severance. The Company shall make a single lump sum severance payment to Executive in an
amount equal to Executive’s Base Annual Salary in effect as of the Termination Date, multiplied by two (2), less required tax withholdings and deductions (the “Severance Payment”). The Severance Payment will be paid
within sixty (60) days after the Termination Date, but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the year of termination. 
  

 5. 

 (b) Health Insurance. Provided that Executive elects continued coverage under the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (together with any state or local laws of similar effect, “COBRA”) within the time period provided for under COBRA, the Company will pay the premiums necessary to
continue Executive’s group health insurance coverage in effect as of the Termination Date of Executive’s employment (including coverage for Executive’s eligible dependents) for a maximum period of twenty-four (24) months
following the Termination Date; provided, however, that no premium payments will be made by the Company pursuant to this paragraph following the effective date of Executive’s coverage by a health insurance plan of a subsequent employer or such
other date on which Executive (and Executive’s dependents, as applicable) ceases to be eligible for COBRA coverage (including cessation of non-core coverage, such as dental and vision coverage). Executive agrees that Executive shall notify the
Company in writing as soon as practical, but no later than 15 days after Executive receives coverage under a health insurance plan of a subsequent employer. 
 (c) Equity Acceleration. After taking into account any additional acceleration of vesting Executive may be entitled to receive under any other plan or agreement, the Executive’s outstanding
equity awards (including, without limitation, stock options, restricted stock awards or similar awards) shall be accelerated such that, effective as of the Termination Date, the Executive shall receive immediate accelerated vesting of such
outstanding equity awards with respect to that same number of shares which would have vested if Executive had continued in employment with the Company for a period of twelve (12) months following the Termination Date. In all other respects,
such equity awards shall continue to be governed by the terms of the applicable award agreements and equity incentive plan documents and any applicable agreements between the Company and Executive. 
 4.3 Severance Benefits In Event of Involuntary Termination Without Cause or Constructive Termination During Change in Control Period. If:
(i) Executive’s employment terminates due to an Involuntarily Termination Without Cause (and other than as a result of Executive’s death or disability), or as a result of a Constructive Termination, in either event during the
Change in Control Period, (ii) such termination constitutes a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)), (iii) Executive signs and allows to become effective a
general release of all known and unknown claims in the form and substance acceptable to the Company within sixty (60) days after the Termination Date, and (iv) Executive fully complies with Executive’s continuing fiduciary,
statutory and material contractual obligations to the Company (with a 30-day opportunity to cure after notice of any such non-compliance if Executive has not, unless such non-compliance is not capable of being cured); then the Company shall provide
Executive with the following change in control severance benefits (the “Change in Control Benefits”): 
 (a)
Cash Severance. The Company shall make a single lump sum severance payment to Executive in an amount equal to Executive’s Base Annual Salary in effect as of the Termination Date, multiplied by two (2), less required tax withholdings
and deductions (the “Change in Control Payment”). The Severance Payment will be paid within sixty (60) days after the Termination Date, but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the year of termination.

  

 6. 

 (b) Health Insurance. Provided that Executive elects continued coverage under the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (together with any state or local laws of similar effect, “COBRA”) within the time period provided for under COBRA, the Company will pay the premiums necessary to
continue Executive’s group health insurance coverage in effect as of the Termination Date of Executive’s employment (including coverage for Executive’s eligible dependents) for a maximum period of twenty-four (24) months
following the Termination Date; provided, however, that no premium payments will be made by the Company pursuant to this paragraph following the effective date of Executive’s coverage by a health insurance plan of a subsequent employer or such
other date on which Executive (and Executive’s dependents, as applicable) ceases to be eligible for COBRA coverage (including cessation of non-core coverage, such as dental and vision coverage). Executive agrees that Executive shall notify the
Company in writing as soon as practical, but no later than 15 days after Executive receives coverage under a health insurance plan of a subsequent employer. 
 (c) Equity Acceleration. After taking into account any additional acceleration of vesting Executive may be entitled to receive under any other plan or agreement, the Company shall cause all
outstanding equity awards then held by Executive (including, without limitation, stock options, restricted stock awards or similar awards) to become fully vested and, if applicable, exercisable with respect to all the shares subject thereto
effective immediately prior to the Termination Date. In all other respects, such equity awards shall continue to be governed by the terms of the applicable award agreements and equity incentive plan documents and any applicable agreements between
the Company and Executive. 
 4.4 Other Compensation and Benefits. If: (i) the Company terminates Executive’s employment
for Cause or as a result of his death or disability, or (ii) if Executive resigns his employment at any time, except as a result of a Constructive Termination during the Change in Control Period, then this Agreement shall automatically
terminate (except for Article V and Article VII, which shall continue in effect), and upon such termination, the Company shall have no further obligation to Executive, his spouse or estate, except that the Company shall pay to Executive the amount
of his Base Annual Salary, and unused vacation pay, accrued to the date of such termination. 
 4.5 Compliance with Section 409A.

 (a) It is intended that each installment of the payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement is a separate
“payment” for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(i). It is also intended that payments of the amounts set forth in this Agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (Section 409A of the Code, together, with any state law of similar effect, “Section 409A”) provided under Treasury Regulation Sections
1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-1(b)(5) and 1.409A-1(b)(9). 
  

 7. 

 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company (or, if applicable, the successor
entity thereto) determines that the Severance Payment, the Change in Control Payment and/or other benefits provided under this Agreement (the “Agreement Payments”) constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A
and Executive is, on the Termination Date, a “specified employee” of the Company or any successor entity thereto, as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the
incurrence of the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of the Agreement Payments shall be delayed as follows: on the earlier to occur of (i) the date that is six months and one day after Executive’s
“separation from service” (as defined above) or (ii) the date of Executive’s death (such earlier date, the “Delayed Initial Payment Date”), the Company (or the successor entity thereto, as applicable) shall
(A) pay to Executive a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the Agreement Payments that Executive would otherwise have received through the Delayed Initial Payment Date if the commencement of the payment of the Agreement Payments had not been so
delayed pursuant to this Section 4.5(b) and (B) commence paying the balance of the Agreement Payments in accordance with the applicable payment schedules set forth in this Agreement. 
 4.6 Internal Revenue Code Section 280G. 
 (a) If the payments and benefits (including but not limited to payments and benefits pursuant to this Agreement) that Executive would receive in connection with a Change in Control of the Company,
whether from the Company or otherwise (a “Transaction Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the
excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the Company shall cause to be determined, before any amounts of the Transaction Payment are paid to Executive, which of the following two alternative forms
of payment would result in Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Transaction Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Transaction Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax: (1) payment in
full of the entire amount of the Transaction Payment (a “Full Payment”), or (2) payment of only a part of the Transaction Payment so that Executive receives the largest payment possible without the imposition of the Excise Tax
(a “Reduced Payment”). 
 (b) For purposes of determining whether to make a Full Payment or a Reduced
Payment, the Company shall cause to be taken into account all applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate, net of the maximum reduction in federal income
taxes which could be obtained from a deduction of such state and local taxes). If a Reduced Payment is made, (i) Executive shall have no rights to any additional payments and/or benefits constituting the Transaction Payment, and
(ii) reduction in payments and/or benefits shall occur in the following order: (1) reduction of cash payments; (2) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards other than stock options; (3) cancellation of accelerated
vesting of stock options; and (4) reduction of other benefits (if any) paid to Executive. In the event that acceleration of compensation from Executive’s equity awards is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be canceled in the
reverse order of the date of grant. 
 (c) The independent registered public accounting firm engaged by the Company for
general audit purposes as of the day prior to the Termination Date shall make all determinations required to be made under this Section 4.6. If the independent registered public accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant
or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized independent registered public accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall bear all
expenses with respect to the determinations by such independent registered public accounting firm required to be made hereunder. 
  

 8. 

 (d) The independent registered public accounting firm engaged to make the
determinations hereunder shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to the Company and Executive within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which Executive’s right to a Transaction Payment is
triggered or such other time as reasonably requested by the Company or Executive. If the independent registered public accounting firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable with respect to the Transaction Payment, either before or after the
application of the Reduced Amount, it shall furnish the Company and Executive with detailed supporting calculations of its determinations that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to such Transaction Payment. Any good faith determinations of
the accounting firm made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and Executive. 
 ARTICLE V 

 PROPRIETARY INFORMATION OBLIGATIONS 
 5.1 Agreement. Executive acknowledges that he executed, and will continue to abide by, the Company’s standard form of Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement (“Proprietary
Information and Inventions Agreement”). 
 5.2 Remedies. Executive’s duties under the Proprietary Information and
Inventions Agreement shall survive termination of Executive’s employment with the Company and the termination of this Agreement. Executive acknowledges that a remedy at law for any breach or threatened breach by Executive of the provisions of
the Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement would be inadequate, and Executive therefore agrees that the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief in case of any such breach or threatened breach. 
 ARTICLE VI 
 OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES 
 6.1 Other Activities. Except with the prior written consent of the Board of Directors of the
Company, Executive shall not during the term of this Agreement undertake or engage in any other employment, occupation or business enterprise, other than ones in which Executive is a passive investor; provided that such passive investments will not
require services on the part Executive which would in any manner impair the performance of his/her duties under this Agreement. Executive may engage in civic and not-for-profit activities so long as such activities do not materially interfere with
the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder. It is agreed and understood that Executive shall be allowed to participate on the boards of directors of the following companies: AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Ren Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; and
Executive may be allowed to serve on other boards of directors during his employment with the Board’s prior written consent. 
 6.2
Competition/Investments. During the term of Executive’s employment by the Company, except on behalf of the Company, Executive shall not directly or indirectly, whether as an officer, director, stockholder, partner, proprietor, associate,
representative, consultant, or in any capacity whatsoever engage in, become financially interested in, be employed by or have any business connection with any other person, corporation, firm, partnership or other entity whatsoever which were known
by Executive to compete directly with the Company, throughout the world, in any line of business engaged in (or planned to be engaged in) by the Company.

 7.2 Severability. 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

embodiment of their agreement with regard to the subject matter contained herein and therein and supersede all prior agreements (including the Prior Agreement), promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations or warranties,

with or without advance notice, and with or without Cause. If applicable, upon the date of Executive’s termination of employment with the Company for any reason, Executive shall immediately resign from the Board and the board of directors or
comparable body of every subsidiary, parent or other affiliated corporation of the Company, and every committee thereof. Executive shall not receive any compensation of any kind, including, without limitation, severance benefits or change of control
severance benefits, following Executive’s last day of employment with the Company (the “Termination Date”), except as expressly provided for by this Agreement, applicable law, and/or any plan documents governing the
compensatory equity awards that have been or may be granted to Executive from time to time in the sole discretion of the Company.

 2.3 Employment Policies. The employment relationship between the parties shall also be governed by
the general employment policies and practices of the Company, including those relating to protection of confidential information and assignment of inventions, except that when the terms of this Agreement differ from or are in conflict with the

 COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS 
 3.1 Base Salary. Executive shall receive for services to be rendered hereunder an annual base salary of $[        ] (“Base Annual Salary”), less required deductions and

each calendar year Executive will be eligible for an annual performance bonus, equal to up to [    ]% of the Base Annual Salary, and which is 100% based upon the achievement of Executive’s performance goals and
objectives (“Annual Bonus”). The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board shall determine in its sole discretion whether any such Bonus has been earned and, if so, the amount of any such bonus. Executive must be an
employee in good standing at the time the Compensation Committee decides to award the Annual Bonus and, if Executive leaves the Company at any time and for any reason prior to such date, he will not be eligible to receive such a bonus or any
pro-rata portion of such bonus. Such Annual Bonus shall be evaluated and paid no later than December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year to which such Annual Bonus relates.

[        ] shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Company’s 2007 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “2007 Plan”). Any stock options granted pursuant to this
Section 3.3 have an exercise price per share equal to the then-current fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock (as determined pursuant to the 2007 Plan) on the grant date as approved by the Board or the Compensation
Committee of the Board. Such stock options are incentive stock options to the extent permitted under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Subject to Article IV of this Agreement, 25% of the shares
subject to such stock options shall vest on the one year anniversary of Executive’s date of hire and the remainder will vest in 36 equal monthly installments over a three year period thereafter, subject to Executive’s continued employment
or service with the Company on each such date. Such stock options shall have a ten (10) year term and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the 2007 Plan and the stock option agreement pursuant to which such stock options are
granted.]

providing the Company with appropriate substantiation in accordance with Company policy. Any amounts payable under this Section 3.5 shall be made in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv) and shall be paid on or
before the last day of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which Executive incurred the expenses. The amounts provided under this Section 3.5 during any taxable year of Executive’s will not affect such amounts
provided in any other taxable year of Executive’s, and Executive’s right to reimbursement for such amounts shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. 
 3.6 Standard Company Benefits. Executive shall be entitled to all rights and benefits for which Executive is eligible under the terms and conditions
of the standard Company benefits and compensation practices that may be in effect from time to time and are generally provided by the Company to its executive employees, employed at similar full-time or part-time status, as applicable. Any such
benefits and compensation practices shall be subject to the terms of the governing benefit or compensation plans and may be changed by the Company from time to time in its discretion.

event Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason. Repayment of the signing bonus shall be forgiven by [    ]% on each of the first and second anniversaries of Executive’s date of hire
with the Company.] 
 ARTICLE IV 
 SEVERANCE AND CHANGE IN CONTROL BENEFITS 
 4.1 Term Limitation for Severance and Change
in Control Benefits. The term for the Severance Benefits and Change in Control Benefits provided for in this Article IV herein shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue through the third anniversary of the Effective Date (the
“Expiration Date”). If this Article IV is not amended or renewed by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board prior to the Expiration Date, this Article IV (including Executive’s right to receive the Severance
Benefits and Change in Control Benefits contained herein), shall terminate automatically on such Expiration Date; provided, however, that if this Article IV terminates pursuant to this Section 4.1, the remainder of this Agreement will remain in
full force and effect. 
  

 5 

 4.2 Severance Benefits In Event of Involuntary Termination Without Cause Unrelated to Change in Control.
If: (i) Executive’s employment terminates due to an Involuntarily Termination Without Cause (and other than as a result of Executive’s death or disability) at any time except during the Change in Control Period,
(ii) such termination constitutes a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)), (iii) Executive signs and allows to become effective a general release of all known
and unknown claims in the form and substance acceptable to the Company within sixty (60) days after the Termination Date, and (iv) Executive fully complies with Executive’s continuing fiduciary, statutory and material
contractual obligations to the Company (with a 30-day opportunity to cure after notice of any such non-compliance if Executive has not, unless such non-compliance is not capable of being cured); then the Company shall provide Executive with the
following severance benefits (the “Severance Benefits”): 
 (a) Cash Severance. The Company shall make a
single lump sum severance payment to Executive in an amount equal to Executive’s Base Annual Salary in effect as of the Termination Date, less required tax withholdings and deductions (the “Severance Payment”). The
Severance Payment will be paid within sixty (60) days after the Termination Date, but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the year of termination. 
 (b) Health Insurance. Provided that Executive elects continued coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of
1985, as amended (together with any state or local laws of similar effect, “COBRA”) within the time period provided for under COBRA, the Company will pay the premiums necessary to continue Executive’s group health insurance
coverage in effect as of the Termination Date of Executive’s employment (including coverage for Executive’s eligible dependents) for a maximum period of twelve (12) months following the Termination Date; provided, however, that
no premium payments will be made by the Company pursuant to this paragraph following the effective date of Executive’s coverage by a health insurance plan of a subsequent employer or such other date on which Executive (and Executive’s
dependents, as applicable) ceases to be eligible for COBRA coverage. Executive agrees that Executive shall notify the Company in writing as soon as practical, but no later than 15 days after Executive receives coverage under a health insurance plan
of a subsequent employer. 
 4.3 Severance Benefits In Event of Involuntary Termination Without Cause or Constructive Termination During
Change in Control Period. If: (i) Executive’s employment terminates due to an Involuntarily Termination Without Cause (and other than as a result of Executive’s death or disability), or as a result of a Constructive
Termination, in either event during the Change in Control Period, (ii) such termination constitutes a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)), (iii) Executive
signs and allows to become effective a general release of all known and unknown claims in the form and substance acceptable to the Company within sixty (60) days after the Termination Date, and (iv) Executive fully complies with
Executive’s continuing fiduciary, statutory and material contractual obligations to the Company (with a 30-day opportunity to cure after notice of any such non-compliance if Executive has not, unless such non-compliance is not capable of being
cured); then the Company shall provide Executive with the following change in control severance benefits (the “Change in Control Benefits”): 
 (a) Cash Severance. The Company shall make a single lump sum severance payment to Executive in an amount equal to Executive’s Base Annual Salary in effect as of the Termination Date,
multiplied by one point five (1.5), less required tax withholdings and deductions (the “Change in Control Payment”). The Change in Control Payment will be paid within sixty (60) days after the Termination Date, but in no
event later than March 15 of the year following the year of termination. 
  

 6 

 (b) Health Insurance. Provided that Executive elects continued coverage under the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (together with any state or local laws of similar effect, “COBRA”) within the time period provided for under COBRA, the Company will pay the premiums necessary to
continue Executive’s group health insurance coverage in effect as of the Termination Date of Executive’s employment (including coverage for Executive’s eligible dependents) for a maximum period of eighteen (18) months
following the Termination Date; provided, however, that no premium payments will be made by the Company pursuant to this paragraph following the effective date of Executive’s coverage by a health insurance plan of a subsequent employer or such
other date on which Executive (and Executive’s dependents, as applicable) ceases to be eligible for COBRA coverage. Executive agrees that Executive shall notify the Company in writing as soon as practical, but no later than 15 days after
Executive receives coverage under a health insurance plan of a subsequent employer. 
 (c) Equity Acceleration. After
taking into account any additional acceleration of vesting Executive may be entitled to receive under any other plan or agreement, the Company shall cause all outstanding equity awards then held by Executive (including, without limitation, stock
options, restricted stock awards or similar awards) to become fully vested and, if applicable, exercisable with respect to all the shares subject thereto effective immediately prior to the Termination Date. In all other respects, such equity
awards shall continue to be governed by the terms of the applicable award agreements and equity incentive plan documents and any applicable agreements between the Company and Executive. 
 4.4 Other Compensation and Benefits. If: (i) the Company terminates Executive’s employment for Cause or as a result of [his or her] death or disability, or
(ii) if Executive resigns [his or her] employment at any time, except as a result of a Constructive Termination during the Change in Control Period, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate (except for Article V and Article VII,
which shall continue in effect), and upon such termination, the Company shall have no further obligation to Executive, [his or her] spouse or estate, except that the Company shall pay to Executive the amount of his Base Annual Salary, and unused
vacation pay, accrued to the date of such termination. 
 4.5 Compliance with Section 409A. 
 (a) It is intended that each installment of the payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement is a separate “payment”
for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(i). It is also intended that payments of the amounts set forth in this Agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Section 409A of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (Section 409A of the Code, together, with any state law of similar effect, “Section 409A”) provided under Treasury Regulation Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4),
1.409A-1(b)(5) and 1.409A-1(b)(9). 
  

 7 

 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company (or, if applicable, the successor
entity thereto) determines that the Severance Payment, the Change in Control Payment and/or other benefits provided under this Agreement (the “Agreement Payments”) constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A
and Executive is, on the Termination Date, a “specified employee” of the Company or any successor entity thereto, as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the
incurrence of the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of the Agreement Payments shall be delayed as follows: on the earlier to occur of (i) the date that is six months and one day after Executive’s
“separation from service” (as defined above) or (ii) the date of Executive’s death (such earlier date, the “Delayed Initial Payment Date”), the Company (or the successor entity thereto, as applicable) shall
(A) pay to Executive a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the Agreement Payments that Executive would otherwise have received through the Delayed Initial Payment Date if the commencement of the payment of the Agreement Payments had not been so
delayed pursuant to this Section 4.5(b) and (B) commence paying the balance of the Agreement Payments in accordance with the applicable payment schedules set forth in this Agreement. 
 4.6 Internal Revenue Code Section 280G. 
 (a) If the payments and benefits (including but not limited to payments and benefits pursuant to this Agreement) that Executive would receive in connection with a Change in Control of the Company,
whether from the Company or otherwise (a “Transaction Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the
excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the Company shall cause to be determined, before any amounts of the Transaction Payment are paid to Executive, which of the following two alternative forms
of payment would result in Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Transaction Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Transaction Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax: (1) payment in
full of the entire amount of the Transaction Payment (a “Full Payment”), or (2) payment of only a part of the Transaction Payment so that Executive receives the largest payment possible without the imposition of the Excise Tax
(a “Reduced Payment”). 
 (b) For purposes of determining whether to make a Full Payment or a Reduced
Payment, the Company shall cause to be taken into account all applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate, net of the maximum reduction in federal income
taxes which could be obtained from a deduction of such state and local taxes). If a Reduced Payment is made, (i) Executive shall have no rights to any additional payments and/or benefits constituting the Transaction Payment, and
(ii) reduction in payments and/or benefits shall occur in the following order: (1) reduction of cash payments; (2) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards other than stock options; (3) cancellation of accelerated
vesting of stock options; and (4) reduction of other benefits (if any) paid to Executive. In the event that acceleration of compensation from Executive’s equity awards is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be canceled in the
reverse order of the date of grant. 
 (c) The independent registered public accounting firm engaged by the Company for
general audit purposes as of the day prior to the Termination Date shall make all determinations required to be made under this Section 4.6. If the independent registered public accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant
or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized independent registered public accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall bear all
expenses with respect to the determinations by such independent registered public accounting firm required to be made hereunder. 
  

 8 

 (d) The independent registered public accounting firm engaged to make the
determinations hereunder shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to the Company and Executive within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which Executive’s right to a Transaction Payment is
triggered or such other time as reasonably requested by the Company or Executive. If the independent registered public accounting firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable with respect to the Transaction Payment, either before or after the
application of the Reduced Amount, it shall furnish the Company and Executive with detailed supporting calculations of its determinations that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to such Transaction Payment. Any good faith determinations of
the accounting firm made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and Executive. 
 ARTICLE V

interfere with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder. 
 6.2 Competition/Investments. During the term of Executive’s
employment by the Company, except on behalf of the Company, Executive shall not directly or indirectly, whether as an officer, director, stockholder, partner, proprietor, associate, representative, consultant, or in any capacity whatsoever engage
