obligations under Section 8 below. All compensation and benefits accrued through the date of termination shall be paid promptly to Employee as required by law.

 8. Termination by Employee. This Agreement shall not interfere in any way with Employee’s
right to terminate his employment with the Company at any time, upon at least one hundred twenty (120) days advance written notice. 
 8.1 Post-Employment consultation. In the event Employee terminates his full-time employment with the Company in accordance with Section 8 and provides in his written notice of termination notice to the
President of the Company or the Board of Directors that he is willing and able to act as a consultant to the President of the Company on terms to be mutually agreed upon, the Company will make Health Insurance Coverage available to Employee and his
spouse and/or dependents, if any, in accordance with this Section 8. The compensation and other terms of such consultancy shall, unless otherwise agreed provide for part-time consulting (up to one (1) day per month) at compensation equal

 8.2 Health Insurance
Coverage. For purposes of this Agreement, Health Insurance Coverage shall mean coverage under any group health plan(s), as defined in Section 5000(b)(l) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) that the
Company maintains for its employees and that is available to consultants to the President of the Company. Health Insurance Coverage shall be the same as the group health plan coverage the Company provides its employees. In the event the group health
plan coverage provided to employees of the Company changes, Health Insurance Coverage shall change in the same manner. A change to group health plan coverage includes, but is not limited to, a change in covered medical expenses, a change in
deductibles, copayments or coverage limits, and a change in the insurance provider. In the event the Health Insurance Coverage is to be provided under a new insurance contract, the Company will include consultants to the President of the Company
among those eligible for coverage under such contract. 
 8.3 Cost of Health Insurance Coverage. 
 (a) During the ten (10) year period following Employee’s notice of willingness and ability to act as a consultant to the
President pursuant to Section 8.1 above, Employee shall be required to pay the same amount for the Health Insurance Coverage as a similarly situated full-time employee would be required to pay for coverage under the Company’s group health
plan(s). The amount Employee is required to pay for Health Insurance Coverage shall be adjusted in the same amount and at the same time as the amount employees of the Company are required to pay for similar coverage under the Company’s group
health plan(s). Employee shall pay his cost for the Health Insurance Coverage not less frequently than monthly by submitting a personal check for the appropriate amount to the Company. 
 (b) After the expiration of the ten (10) year period covered by Section 8.3(a), Employee shall be required to reimburse the
Company for the Health Insurance Coverage in an amount equal to the cost to the Company of covering an employee with similar coverage under the Company’s group health plan(s). Such reimbursement shall be paid not less frequently than monthly by
personal check.

 8.4. Spousal Coverage. In the event of Employee’s death while receiving
Health Insurance Coverage, Employee’s spouse, if any, shall be eligible for Health Insurance Coverage until her death so long as she pays for the Health Insurance Coverage in an amount equal to the cost of coverage under the Company’s
group health plan(s) for an employee with identical coverage. 
 8.5 Disability of Employee. In the event Employee
becomes disabled while receiving Health Insurance Coverage, Employee shall be deemed to be a consultant to the President of the Company during Employee’s disability. For purposes of this Agreement, “disabled” means Employee is

 8.6 Termination of Coverage. Employee’s and his spouse’s and/or dependent’s, if any, Health Insurance Coverage
shall terminate upon the occurrence of the earliest of the following events: 
  

	 	(a)	 Employee again becomes an employee of the Company eligible for coverage under the Company’s group health plans;

occurrence of any of the events described in (f) and (g), above. 
  

 5 

 In the event, Employee’s and his spouse’s and/or dependent’s, if any,
Health Insurance Coverage terminates in accordance with the previous paragraph, Employee and his spouse and/or dependents, if any, shall be offered COBRA health insurance continuation benefits to the extent required by Section 4980B(f) of the
Code. 
 9. Arbitration. Any and all claims, disputes or controversies, whether of law or fact of any nature whatsoever, arising from
or respecting the termination of this Agreement shall be decided exclusively by arbitration by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (“JAMS”) in accordance with the rules and regulations of the American Arbitration Association
(“AAA”), or by any other body mutually agreed upon by the parties. Pre-arbitration discovery shall be permitted at the request of either party under appropriate protection for proprietary and confidential business information. 

Before filing a demand for arbitration, a party must send the other party written notice identifying the matter in dispute and
invoking the procedures in this paragraph. Such written notice shall be sent promptly after the party knew or reasonably should have known of an alleged violation of this Agreement. Within fifteen (15) days after such written notice is given,
one or more principals of each party shall meet at a mutually agreeable location in Sunnyvale, California, for the purpose of determining whether they can resolve the dispute themselves by written agreement. If the parties fail to resolve the
dispute by written agreement within the fifteen (15) day period, the complaining party may then initiate the arbitration process by filing a demand with JAMS or such other body as the parties may agree upon. Nothing in this paragraph shall
prevent a party from seeking temporary equitable relief, from JAMS or such other body as the parties may mutually agree upon, during the fifteen (15) day period if necessary to prevent irreparable harm. 
 The arbitrator shall be selected as follows: The Company and the Employee shall each alternately strike a name from a list of seven
arbitrators supplied by JAMS, or by such other body as the parties may agree upon. Once the list of names is received, neither party may insist upon using a different source of arbitrators. The remaining named person shall be the arbitrator of the
matter. Either party may disqualify any individual arbitrator who is a present or past employee, owner, or consultant to the opposing party or a competing organization. Arbitration shall take place at Sunnyvale, California or any other location
mutually agreeable to the parties. At the request of either party, arbitration proceedings will be conducted in the utmost secrecy and, in such case, all documents, testimony and records shall be received, heard and maintained by the arbitrator in
secrecy under seal, available for inspection only by the Company, Employee, their respective attorneys, and their respective experts, consultants or witnesses who shall agree, in advance and in writing, to receive all such information confidentially
and to maintain such information in secrecy, and make no use of such information except for the purposes of the arbitration, until such information shall become generally known. 
  

 6 

 The arbitrator shall be able to decree any and all relief of an equitable nature,
including but not limited to such relief as a temporary restraining order, a temporary injunction, or a permanent injunction, and shall also be able to award compensatory damages, with or without an accounting and costs. However, the arbitrator
shall not be able to award punitive or exemplary damages. The arbitrator shall award reasonable attorneys fees, costs and disbursements to the party in the proceeding determined by the arbitrator to be the prevailing party. The decree or judgment of
an award rendered by the arbitrator shall not be appealable and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties. 
 Reasonable notice of the time and place of arbitration shall be given to persons other than the parties, if such notice is required by law, in which case such persons or their authorized representatives shall have the right to attend or
participate in the arbitration hearing in such manner as the law shall require. If any action is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and
necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which that party may be entitled. 
 10. Assignment and Binding Effect.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Employee and Employee’s heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. As the services and duties to be performed by Employee are personal, neither this Agreement nor
any rights or obligations under this Agreement shall be assignable by Employee. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors, assigns and legal representatives. This Agreement shall be assignable by
the Company to any successor entity to the Company, or any entity controlled by or under common control with the Company. 
 11.
Notices. All notices or demands of any kind required or permitted to be given by the Company or Employee under this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be personally delivered (and receipted for) or mailed by registered or certified
mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

 Any such written notice shall be deemed received when personally delivered or three (3) days after

 12. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California. 
 13. Integration. This Agreement, together with the Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement and the stock option agreements between
employee and the Company, is the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersedes all prior oral and written employment agreements or arrangements between the parties.

 15. Termination of Agreement. This Agreement shall terminate when Employee is no longer employed by the Company and Employee and his spouse and/or

 16. Waiver. No term, covenant or condition of this Agreement or any breach thereof shall be deemed waived, except
with the written consent of the party against whom the waiver is claimed, and any waiver of any such term, covenant, condition or breach shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other term,
covenant, condition or breach.

 Before filing a demand for arbitration, a party must send the other party written notice
identifying the matter in dispute and invoking the procedures in this paragraph. Such written notice shall be sent promptly after the party knew or reasonably should have known of an alleged violation of this Agreement. Within fifteen (15) days
after such written notice is given, one or more principals of each party shall meet at a mutually agreeable location in Sunnyvale, California, for the purpose of determining whether they can resolve the dispute themselves by written agreement. If
the parties fail to resolve the dispute by written agreement within the fifteen (15) day period, the complaining party may then initiate the arbitration process by filing a demand with JAMS or such other body as the parties may agree upon.
Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a party from seeking temporary equitable relief, from JAMS or such other body as the parties may mutually agree upon, during the fifteen (15) day period if necessary to prevent irreparable harm.

 The arbitrator shall be selected as follows: The Company and the Employee shall each alternately strike a name from a list
of seven arbitrators supplied by JAMS, or by such other body as the parties may agree upon. Once the list of names is received, neither party may insist upon using a different source of arbitrators. The remaining named person shall be the arbitrator
of the matter. Either party may disqualify any individual arbitrator who is a present or past employee, owner, or consultant to the opposing party or a competing organization. Arbitration shall take place at Sunnyvale, California or any other
location mutually agreeable to the parties. At the request of either party, arbitration proceedings will be conducted in the utmost secrecy and, in such case, all documents, testimony and records shall be received, heard and maintained by the
arbitrator in secrecy under seal, available for inspection only by the Company, Employee, their respective attorneys, and their respective experts, consultants or witnesses who shall, agree, in advance and in writing, to receive all such information
confidentially and to maintain such information in secrecy, and make no use of such information except for the purposes of the arbitration, until such information shall become generally known. 
 The arbitrator shall be able to decree any and all relief of an equitable nature, including but not limited to such relief as a temporary
restraining order, a temporary injunction, or a permanent injunction, and shall also be able to award compensatory damages, with or without an accounting and costs. However, the arbitrator shall not be able to award punitive or exemplary damages.
The arbitrator shall award reasonable attorneys fees, costs and disbursements to the party in the proceeding determined by the arbitrator to be the prevailing party. The decree or judgment of an award rendered by the arbitrator shall not be
appealable and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties. 
 Reasonable notice of the time and place
of arbitration shall be given to persons other than the parties, if such notice is required by law, in which case such persons or their authorized representatives shall have the right to attend or participate in the arbitration hearing in such
manner as the law shall require. If any action is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and necessary disbursements in addition to any other
relief to which that party may be entitled.
