Re: Offer of Employment

Dear Mr. Siegmund:

On behalf of Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“CTSC” and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (including CTS US, as defined below), “Cognizant”), I am pleased to offer you employment with Cognizant Technology Solutions U.S. Corporation (“CTS US”) commencing on September 1, 2020 (or such other date as may be mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties). Your position will be Chief Financial Officer, at the level of Executive Vice President, reporting to the Chief Executive Officer of CTSC under the terms and conditions stated below.

As this offer is for a position that will be an “executive officer” position (as such term is defined in Rule 3b-7 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “’34 Act”)) and an “officer” position (as such term is defined in Section 16 of the ’34 Act), the terms of this offer letter and your appointment to the position contemplated hereby are subject to the approval of the board of directors (the “Board”) and the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) of CTSC. This offer is also contingent on the following:

	●	Your signing and returning of this offer letter within 14 calendar days of the date of this letter;
	●	The successful and satisfactory completion of your references and background verification;
	●	Your satisfactory completion of the form of Directors and Officers Questionnaire for executive officers of CTSC;
	●	Your signing of the Non-Disclosure, Non-Solicitation and Invention Assignment Agreement (“NDA”) applicable to employees of CTS US generally;
	●	Your entering into the form of Executive Employment and Non-Disclosure, Non-Competition, and Inventions Assignment Agreement with CTSC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Executive Employment Agreement”) on or prior to your start date;
	●	Satisfactory completion of all CTS US new hire paperwork received electronically; and
	●	Satisfactory verification of employment eligibility and authorization to work in the United States. You will need to present documentation of identity and employment eligibility, and complete a Form I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification form within the first 3 business days of your employment. In compliance with the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, your employment at CTS US is contingent on presenting adequate documentation within the mandatory time frame.

Employment with CTS US is “at-will”, meaning that it is not for any specific period of time and can be terminated by either you or CTS US at any time, with or without advance notice, and for any lawful reason or no particular reason or cause. Your service as an executive of CTSC, CTS US and any other Cognizant entity may similarly be terminated either by you or Cognizant at any time, subject to the terms and conditions of the Executive Employment Agreement.

The terms and conditions of your employment with CTS US are described below:

CASH COMPENSATION:

BASE SALARY: You will be paid an annual base salary of $800,000, or $33,333 per pay period based on semi-monthly payments. You will be paid your salary in accordance with the CTS US’s payroll policies and practices as in effect from time to time (payroll dates currently occur on the 15th and last working day of each month).

ANNUAL CASH INCENTIVE: You will be eligible for a target annual cash incentive equal to 1x your annual base salary and on terms generally in alignment with the other executive officers of CTSC that are responsible for company-wide functions; provided, however, that the terms of the annual cash incentive, including the performance metrics and targets, any discretionary component and any aspect that is tailored to a particular executive or group of executives in a manner aligned to the responsibilities of and performance goals established for such executive or group of executives, will be determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion. The annual cash incentive will be paid to you only if you are still active on CTS US’ payroll on the date the annual cash incentive is paid to executives generally for the year in which such annual bonus is earned (each, a “Bonus Date”) and in one single payment (and will be paid on such date). The amount of any annual cash incentive may be more or less than the target annual cash incentive (and may equal zero if performance goals are not attained).

500 Frank W. Burr Blvd, Teaneck,
NJ 07666

+1 201.801.0233

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for 2020, in light of your joining mid-year, in lieu of any annual cash incentive based on performance goal attainment, you will receive a bonus equal in value to the target annual cash incentive set out above, pro-rated based on the number of days during 2020 that you are employed by CTS US. The bonus for 2020 will be paid in one single payment on the applicable Bonus Date and is subject to your being active on CTS US’s payroll on such date.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS: Subject to approval by the Compensation Committee, you will be granted restricted stock units of CTSC as described in additional detail below with vesting based on duration of employment (“RSUs”) and restricted stock units of CTSC with vesting based on the satisfaction of performance criteria and duration of employment (“PSUs”), as provided under Article Nine of CTSC’s 2017 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”) and subject to the vesting and other terms set forth herein and the terms and conditions of the Plan and the forms of Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, in the case of RSUs, and Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, in the case of PSUs, approved by the Compensation Committee under the Plan.

The RSUs and PSUs to be awarded to you hereby will be granted on the first date on or after the date you join Cognizant that is the 1st day of a month or the 15th day of a month (the “Grant Date”). Each grant and all vestings of RSUs and PSUs contemplated under this agreement are subject to your remaining in employment with Cognizant through the applicable grant or vesting date (as applicable).

RSUs

Your targeted annual compensation in the form of RSUs (using the grant date fair value of awards) will be $2,250,000 (the “RSU Target”). To achieve such targeted annual compensation, for 2020, assuming the Grant Date is during the third calendar quarter of 2020, on the Grant Date you will receive an award of RSUs with a Grant Date fair value (i.e., based on the closing share price of CTSC on such date) of $3,375,000 and vesting in ten successive quarterly installments as follows: (i) 1/6th of the units shall vest on each of the first and second three-month anniversaries of the Grant Date, (ii) 2/3rds of 1/6th of the units shall vest on each of the third, fourth, fifth and sixth three-month anniversaries of the Grant Date, (iii) 1/3rd of 1/6th of the units shall vest on each of the seventh, eighth and ninth three-month anniversaries of the Grant Date, and (iv) the remainder of the units shall vest on the tenth three-month anniversary of the Grant Date. For 2021 and subsequent years, you will receive an annual award of RSUs with a grant date fair value equal to the RSU Target with the grant occurring during the first calendar quarter and vesting in twelve successive quarterly installments (subject to any RSU program changes adopted by the Compensation Committee and applicable to CTSC executives generally, including as to grant amount, award type, timing, vesting or otherwise).

Subject to your continued employment with Cognizant on the Grant Date, you will also receive on such date a one-time, non-recurring award of RSUs for joining Cognizant. Such award of RSUs will have a Grant Date value of $1,500,000 and will vest in twelve successive quarterly installments, with 1/12th of such RSUs vesting on the First Quarterly Vesting Date, and an additional 1/12th of such RSUs vesting on each three-month anniversary of the First Quarterly Vesting Date until all such RSUs shall have vested.

PSUs

Your targeted annual compensation in the form of PSUs (using the grant date fair value of awards) will be $2,250,000 (“PSU Target”). For 2020, on the Grant Date, you will receive an award of 2020 – 2022 PSUs with a grant date value equal to your PSU Target, pro-rated to the number of days of 2020 that are on or after your start date (for clarity, such grant date value being equal to $750,000 based on a September 1, 2020 start date), and on terms generally in alignment with the other executive officers of CTSC; provided, however, that the terms of the PSUs, including the performance metrics, targets and measurement period, any discretionary component and any aspect that is tailored to a particular executive or group of executives in a manner aligned to the responsibilities of and performance goals established for such executive or group of executives, will be determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion. For 2021 and subsequent years, you will receive an annual award of PSUs with a grant date fair value equal to the PSU Target, with such performance metrics and targets and vesting terms consistent with similarly situated executives (subject to any PSU program changes adopted by the Compensation Committee applicable to CTSC executives generally, including as to grant amount, award type, timing, performance goals, vesting or otherwise).

VACATION: You will be entitled to 20 days of personal leave, plus normal CTS US holidays, subject to CTS US’s applicable accrual and carry-over rules, as in effect for its executives from time to time.

2

BENEFITS: As a full-time, regular employee of CTS US, you will be eligible to participate in benefit plans and programs available generally to CTS US executives, subject to applicable terms and conditions, including without limitation vesting periods and eligibility requirements.

COMPLIANCE WITH COMPANY POLICIES: As an employee of CTS US, you will be expected to comply with Cognizant’s personnel and other policies, including, but not limited to, Cognizant’s policy requiring your ongoing compliance with the NDA, and Cognizant’s policies prohibiting discrimination and unlawful harassment, conflicts of interest and violation of any applicable laws in the course of performing your job duties and responsibilities. You also agree to adhere to all confidentiality obligations of any previous employer, that you will not bring any confidential information from your prior employer to Cognizant or provide such confidential information to Cognizant, and that you will not use any such confidential information for any purpose in the course of your employment at Cognizant.

DEDUCTIONS AND WITHHOLDINGS: All components of your compensation and benefits will be subject to all applicable federal and state tax withholdings and deductions as required by law and any other deductions or withholdings as authorized by you.

GOVERNING LAW. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey without regard to its conflicts of law principles.

COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

OFFER ACCEPTANCE: If you accept this offer, and the conditions of this offer are satisfied, this letter, the Executive Employment Agreement and the NDA shall constitute the complete agreement between you, CTS US and CTSC with respect to the terms and conditions of your employment. Any representations, promises or agreements, whether written or oral, that are not expressly written in this letter or are contrary to or conflict with this letter, which may have been made to you by any person, are expressly replaced by this letter.

Form of Executive Employment and Non-Disclosure, Non-Competition, 
and Inventions Assignment Agreement

See subsequent pages.EX-10.1

 Exhibit 10.1 

SEPARATION AGREEMENT 

THIS SEPARATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of this
27th day of July, 2020, by and between Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliated entities (collectively, the “Company”) and Steven T. Snyder
(“Executive”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Company Executive Change in Control and Severance Plan (the “Severance Plan”). 

WHEREAS, Executive is currently employed by and performs services for the Company; and 

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive have agreed, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, that Executive’s employment will terminate
effective August 31, 2020 (“Date of Separation”); and 
 WHEREAS, in connection with the termination of
Executive’s employment, the parties have agreed to a severance arrangement and the resolution of any and all disputes between them. 

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED by and between Executive and the Company as follows: 

1.    Separation. On the Date of Separation, Executive shall cease to be an employee of the Company for all
purposes and Executive hereby resigns, as of the Date of Separation, from all positions as an officer and/or director position (if any) of the Company and each of its affiliated entities. 

2.    Severance Benefits. In consideration for Executive’s agreement as set forth herein, and subject to
Executive’s execution of the general release of claims in favor of the Company that is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”), no later than twenty-eight (28) days following the Date of Separation and
such Release becoming effective without being revoked by Executive during the revocation period described in the Release, and subject to and conditioned upon Executive being an employee in good standing through the Date of Separation, Executive
shall be entitled to the following benefits pursuant to the terms of the Severance Plan: 
 (a)    One and one-half times the sum of Executive’s Base Salary and Average Bonus, which is equal to Two Million Four Hundred Thirty-Six Thousand Five Hundred Forty-One Dollars and Fifty Cents ($2,436,541.50); 
 (b)    2020 Incentive
Bonus. On the Date of Separation, Executive shall be eligible to receive an incentive payment under the Company’s annual incentive bonus plan for the 2020 fiscal year. The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors has
determined that Executive is entitled to receive a bonus payment equal to $1,000,000 for his achievements during fiscal year 2020 through the date of this Agreement. Executive will not be eligible for incentive payments under the annual incentive
bonus plan following the 2020 fiscal year; 
 (c)    Continuing coverage under the Company’s group medical, dental
and vision plans as would have applied (and at such cost to Executive as would have applied in the absence of such termination) if Executive remained employed by the Company for a period equal to the earlier of eighteen (18) months following
the Date of Separation or the date Executive becomes eligible to be covered under another employer group health plan; and 

  
 1 

 (d)    Notwithstanding the vesting schedule otherwise applicable, on
the Date of Separation: 
 (i)    Executive shall become fully vested in all of Executive’s
unvested time-based equity awards as follows: 
  

									
	 Grant Award Number
	  	Grant Date	 	  	Shares Vested	 
	 3817
	  	 	January 2, 2018	 	  	 	5,833	 
	 3855
	  	 	January 2, 2019	 	  	 	13,333	 
	 3906
	  	 	January 2, 2020	 	  	 	20,000	 

 (ii)    each of the of Executive’s performance-based equity awards
shall become fully vested at the target level as follows: 
  

									
	 Grant Award Number
	  	Grant Date	 	  	Shares Vested at Target	 
	 3840
	  	 	January 2, 2018	 	  	 	17,500	 
	 3841
	  	 	January 2, 2018	 	  	 	17,500	 
	 3883
	  	 	January 2, 2019	 	  	 	20,000	 
	 3884
	  	 	January 2, 2019	 	  	 	20,000	 
	 3937
	  	 	January 2, 2020	 	  	 	20,000	 
	 3938
	  	 	January 2, 2020	 	  	 	20,000	 

 In addition, with respect to each of the shares vested above, Executive shall receive dividends (a) accrued and paid on
such shares between the applicable grant date and the Date of Separation (which shall include the dividend paid on June 26, 2020), which dividends shall be paid in the form of additional shares determined based on the closing price of the
Company’s common stock on August 28, 2020; and (b) declared by the Company’s Board of Directors but unpaid as of the Date of Separation and with a record date on or before the Date of Separation, which dividends shall be paid in
the form of additional shares determined as follows: (i) if declared and paid entirely in cash, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date prior to the applicable dividend payment date; and (ii) if declared and paid
as a combination of cash and stock, at the same conversion rate as all other shareholders receiving common stock in such dividend distribution. 
 Subject,
to the extent applicable, to the six-month delay described in Section 6(b) below, the amounts payable under Section 2(a) and 2(b) above shall be paid in a lump sum on the first regular payroll date
following the later of the Date of Separation or the date the Release is effective (the 

  
 2 

 
“Termination Benefits Payment Date”). For clarification, if the Release is signed on or before August 27, 2020, the Termination Benefits Payment Date will be
September 4, 2020. Subject to Executive’s execution of this Agreement and the expiration of the related revocation period, any termination or forfeiture of unvested equity awards eligible for acceleration of vesting pursuant to
Section 2(d) above that otherwise would have occurred between the Date of Separation and the Termination Benefits Payment Date will be delayed until the Termination Benefits Payment Date and will occur only to the extent such equity awards do
not vest pursuant to Section 2(d) above. 
 3.    Retirement Benefits. 

(a)    Deferred Compensation. For purposes of any non-qualified deferred
compensation plan sponsored by the Company, Executive shall be deemed to have experienced a “separation from service” as of the Date of Separation. Executive shall receive his account balance under such deferred compensation plan in
accordance with the terms of such plan and Executive’s election. 
 (b)    401(k). Executive’s vested
account balance under the Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) shall be distributed in accordance with Executive’s election and the provisions of the 401(k) Plan. 

4.    Intentionally Deleted 

5.    Other Benefits. Executive shall receive any amounts earned, accrued or owing but not yet paid to Executive as
of the Date of Separation, including, but not limited to, unused accrued vacation, and unpaid base salary earned by Executive through the Date of Separation, payable in a lump sum. Any benefits accrued or earned will be distributed in accordance
with the terms of the applicable benefit plans and programs of the Company. 
 6.    Tax Matters. 

(a)    The Company shall withhold all applicable federal, state and local taxes, social security and workers’
compensation contributions and other amounts as may be required by law with respect to compensation payable to Executive pursuant to this Agreement. 

(b)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement is intended to be interpreted and applied so that
the payment of the benefits set forth herein shall either be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) or shall comply with the requirements of such
provision. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, any payments or arrangements due upon a termination of Executive’s employment
under any arrangement that constitutes a “nonqualified deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and which do not otherwise qualify under the exemptions under Treas. Regs.
Section 1.409A-1 (including without limitation, the short-term deferral exemption or the permitted payments under Treas. Regs. Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)),
shall be delayed and paid or provided on the earlier of (a) the date which is six (6) months after Executive’s “separation from service” (as such term is defined in Section 409A and the regulations and other published
guidance thereunder) for any reason other than death; and (b) the date of Executive’s death. 

  
 3 

 (c)    After the Date of Separation, Executive shall have no duties or
responsibilities that are inconsistent with having a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A as of the Date of Separation and, notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, distributions upon
termination of employment of nonqualified deferred compensation may only be made upon a “separation from service” as determined under Section 409A and such date shall be the Date of Separation for purposes of this Agreement. Each
payment under this Agreement or otherwise shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. In no event may Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under this Agreement which
constitutes a “nonqualified deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and to the extent an amount is payable within a time period, the time during which such amount is paid shall be in the discretion of the Company.

 (d)    Any amounts otherwise payable to Executive following a termination of employment that are not so paid by
reason of Section 2 shall be paid as soon as practicable following, and in any event within thirty (30) days following, the date that is six (6) months after Executive’s separation from service (or, if earlier, the date of
Executive’s death) together with interest on the delayed payment at the Company’s cost of borrowing. All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in
accordance with the requirements of Section 409A. 
 (e)    To the extent that any reimbursements due or otherwise
are taxable to Executive, any reimbursement payment due to Executive pursuant to such Section shall be paid to Executive on or before the last day of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the related expense was incurred.
The reimbursements due or otherwise are not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit and the amount of such reimbursements that Executive receives in one taxable year shall not affect the amount of such reimbursements that Executive
receives in any other taxable year. 
 7.    No Other Benefits. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the
payment(s) and other benefits provided for in this Agreement are in full discharge of any and all liabilities and obligations of the Company to Executive, monetarily or with respect to employee benefits or otherwise, including but not limited to any
and all obligations arising under any alleged written or oral employment agreement, policy, plan or procedure of the Company and/or alleged understanding or arrangement between Executive and the Company (other than claims for accrued and vested
benefits under an employee benefit, insurance, or pension plan of the Company (excluding any employee benefit plan providing severance or similar benefits), subject to the terms and conditions of such plan(s)). 

8.    No Authority. Executive acknowledges that following the Date of Separation, Executive shall not represent
himself to be an employee, officer, director, agent or representative of the Company and its direct and indirect parent(s) and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company Group”) for any purpose. 

  
 4 

 9.    Successors and Assigns. The provisions hereof shall inure
to the benefit of the Executive’s heirs, executors, administrators, legal personal representatives and assigns and shall be binding upon the Executive’s heirs, executors, administrators, legal personal representatives and assigns. 

10.    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be
illegal, void or unenforceable, such provision shall be of no force and effect. The illegality or unenforceability of such provision, however, shall have no effect upon and shall not impair the enforceability of any other provision of this
Agreement. 
 11.    Cooperation. The Executive acknowledges that the Company may need to consult with the
Executive from time to time on a reasonable basis after the Date of Separation on matters that the Executive had direct knowledge of and worked on prior to the Date of Separation, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, advice or guidance on any
future matters. The Executive agrees to continue to cooperate with the Company and to provide any such information as is reasonably requested by the Company. 

12.    Restrictive Covenants. 

(a)    Confidential Information. The Executive agrees that he shall not, directly or indirectly, use, make
available, sell, disclose or otherwise communicate to any person, other than in the course of his assigned duties and for the benefit of the Company, either during employment or at any time after the Date of Separation, any nonpublic, proprietary or
confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any member of the Company Group, which the Executive shall have obtained during his employment with the Company. The foregoing shall not apply to information that (i) was
known to the public prior to its disclosure to the Executive; (ii) becomes known to the public subsequent to disclosure to the Executive through no wrongful act of the Executive or any representatives of the Executive; or (iii) the
Executive is required to disclose by applicable law, regulation or legal process (provided that, to the extent permitted by law, regulation or legal process, the Executive provides the Company with prior notice of the contemplated disclosure and
reasonably cooperate with the Company at its expense in seeking a protective order or other appropriate protection of such information). Notwithstanding clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence, the Executive’s obligation to maintain
such disclosed information in confidence shall not terminate where only portions of the information are public domain. 

(b)    During the remainder of Executive’s employment with the Company and for eighteen (18) months after the
Date of Separation, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, whether as owner, partner, shareholder, consultant, agent, director, employee, co-venturer or otherwise, engage, participate, assist or invest
in any Competing Business (as hereinafter defined). Executive understands that the restrictions set forth in this Section 12(b) are intended to protect the Company’s interest in its Confidential Information and established employee and
investor relationships and goodwill, and agree that such restrictions are reasonable and appropriate for this purpose. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Competing Business” shall mean any business conducted anywhere in the
United States that is competitive with the Company’s gaming real estate investment trust business, which currently would be limited to VICI Properties, Inc. and MGM Growth Properties, LLC. Without limiting the foregoing, any business engaged in
the acquisition, financing or ownership of real property to be leased to gaming operators in “triple net” lease arrangements shall be considered to be a Competing Business. For avoidance 

  
 5 

 
of doubt, you may provide services for a gaming operator or a real estate investment business which does not have any gaming tenants; however, you may not assist a gaming operator to engage in a
transaction with a Competing Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may own up to one percent (1%) of the outstanding stock of a publicly held corporation which constitutes or is affiliated with a Competing Business. 

(c)    Non-Disparagement. (i) The Executive agrees that he will not
make any disparaging or defamatory comments regarding the Company or any member of the Company Group, their respective affiliates, employees, officers, directors, products or services. The Executive’s obligations under this subsection of
Section 12 shall not apply to disclosures required by applicable law, regulation or order of a court or governmental agency. (ii) The Company agrees that neither it nor any of its affiliates, officers or directors will make any disparaging
or defamatory comments regarding Executive. The Company’s obligations under this subsection of Section 12 shall not apply to disclosures required by applicable law, regulation or order of a court or governmental agency. 

13.    Return of Property. The Executive agrees that promptly following the Date of Separation the Executive will
have returned to the Company all property belonging to the Company and/or any other member of the Company Group, including but not limited to all proprietary and/or confidential information and documents (including any copies thereof) in any form
belonging to the Company, cell phone, iPad, iPhone, keys, card access to the building and office floors, Employee Handbook, phone card, computer user name and password, disks and/or voicemail code. The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that
the Company shall have no obligation to make the payment(s) and provide the benefits referred to in Section 2 above unless and until the Executive has satisfied all of the Executive’s obligations pursuant to this paragraph. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company agrees to cooperate with Executive in transferring his current cell phone number to Executive’s new service. 

14.    Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto
regarding the termination of the Executive’s employment. This Agreement supersedes all prior negotiations, discussions, correspondence, communications, understandings and agreements between the parties relating to the subject matter of this
Agreement. 
 15.    Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and the obligations of the parties hereunder
shall be construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with and be governed by the laws of Pennsylvania without reference to its conflicts of laws principle.

 (c)    To the fullest extent permitted by law, and subject to the
provisions of paragraph 1(d) below, I represent and affirm that (i) I have not filed or caused to be filed on my behalf any claim for relief against the Company or any Releasee and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, no outstanding claims
for relief have been filed or asserted against the Company or any Releasee on my behalf; and (ii) I have no knowledge of any improper, unethical or illegal conduct or activities that I have not already reported to any supervisor, manager,
department head, human resources representative, agent or other representative of the Company, to any member of the Company’s legal or compliance departments, or to the ethics hotline; and (iii) I will not file, commence, prosecute or

 (d)    The release of claims described in paragraphs 1(b) and
(c) of this Release does not preclude me from filing a charge with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. However, I agree and hereby waive any and all rights to any monetary relief or other personal recovery from any such charge,
including costs and attorneys’ fees. Additionally, this release of claims does not preclude me from filing claims that arise after the date of execution of this Release. 

(e)    Subject to the provisions of paragraph 1(d) of this Release, in further consideration of the commitments described
in Section 2 of the Agreement, I agree that I will not file, claim, sue or cause or permit to be filed, any civil action, suit or legal proceeding seeking equitable or monetary relief (including damages, injunctive, declaratory, monetary or
other relief) for himself or herself involving any matter released in paragraph 1. In the event that suit is filed in breach of this release of claims, it is expressly understood and agreed that this release of claims shall constitute a complete
defense to any such suit. In the event any Releasee is required to institute litigation to enforce the terms of this paragraph, Releasees shall be entitled to recover reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in such enforcement. I further
agree and covenant that should any person, organization, or other entity file, claim, sue, or cause or permit to be filed any civil action, suit or legal proceeding involving any matter occurring at any time in the past, I will not seek or accept
personal equitable or monetary relief in such civil action, suit or legal proceeding. Nothing in the Agreement or this Release shall prohibit or restrict me from: (i) making any disclosure of information required by law; (ii) providing
information to, or testifying or otherwise assisting in any investigation or proceeding brought by any federal regulatory or law enforcement agency or legislative body, any self-regulatory organization, or the Company’s designated legal,
compliance or human resources officers; or (iii) filing, testifying, participating in or otherwise assisting in a proceeding relating to an alleged violation of any federal, state or municipal law relating to fraud, or any rule or regulation of
the Securities and Exchange Commission or any self-regulatory organization. 
 2.    Knowing and Voluntary

 (a)    I have read the terms of this Release and that I
understand its terms and effects, including the fact that I have agreed to REMISE, RELEASE, AND FOREVER DISCHARGE the Releasees and each and every one of its affiliated entities from any legal action arising out of my employment relationship or
consulting relationship with the Company and the termination of that employment relationship or consulting relationship; 

(b)    I have signed this Release voluntarily and knowingly in exchange for the consideration described in Section 2

 (e)    I have signed this Release knowingly and voluntarily. 

4.    Non-Admission. I agree and acknowledge that the agreement by the
Company described herein, and the settlement and termination of any asserted or unasserted claims against the Releasees, are not and shall not be construed as an admission of any violation of any federal, state or local statute or regulation, or of
any duty owed by any of the Releasees to me. 
 5.    Opportunity for Review; Acceptance. I have until twenty-one (21) days within which to consider this Release. Any modifications, material or otherwise, made to this Release have not restarted or affected in any manner the original twenty-one (21) days consideration period, and I have signed on the date indicated below after concluding that this Release is satisfactory to me. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, I
may revoke this Release within seven (7) calendar days after my execution and it shall not become effective until the expiration of such seven (7) day revocation period. Any revocation within this period must be submitted, in writing, to
the Company and state, “I hereby revoke my acceptance of the Release.” The revocation must be delivered to my human resources representative and postmarked within seven (7) calendar days of my execution of this Release. If the last
day of the revocation period is a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday in the state in which I reside, then the revocation period shall not expire until the next following day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. In the event of my timely
revocation, this Release will be deemed null and void and the Company will have no obligations to provide the payments and benefits under Section 2 of the Agreement.
