omissions of Executive or any other occurrence that would entitle Company to terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement for Cause, then such action shall not constitute a Good Reason Event and will not entitle Executive to terminate
his employment for Good Reason pursuant to Section 6.1 of this Agreement; or

less tax and other required withholdings. From time to time during the term of this Agreement, Executive’s Annual Salary may be increased, and may be reduced, provided that any such reduction is part of any across-the-board cost cutting measure
that is applied equally or proportionately to all senior executives of Company, rather than discriminatorily against Executive, or is due to Executive’s Disability or any acts or omissions of Executive or other occurrences

  
 5 

 
that would entitle Company to terminate Executive’s employment for Cause, in each case as and to the extent determined in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board. If

reimbursements of any such expenses shall (a) be paid to the Executive no later than sixty (60) days following the end of the calendar year in which the expenses were incurred, (b) the right to reimbursement during the year will not
affect reimbursements or in-kind benefits provided to the Executive in any other year, and (c) the Executive’s right to reimbursement shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.

above.

Termination shall automatically become fully vested, without the necessity of any action by the Company or Executive, even if the vesting of such Equity Incentives had been contingent on the achievement of any financial or other performance goals
(whether by the Company or Executive) to be measured in the future or on the happening of any other future events.

 Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary that may be contained in this Agreement,
under no circumstances, shall the Executive be permitted to exercise any discretion to modify the amount, timing or form of payment or benefit described in this Section 6.2. 

6.3 Timing and Manner of Payment. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 7.1 below, the Severance Compensation that becomes
payable to Executive pursuant to Paragraphs 6.2(a) and (b) above shall be paid to Executive in a single lump sum, less tax and other required or applicable withholdings, on the tenth (10th) business day following such Section 6
Termination. 
 6.4 No Requirement of Mitigation. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment
or benefit provided for in this Section 6 by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall any compensation or other payments received by the Executive from other Persons after the date of a Section 6 Termination reduce any payments due
to him under this Section 6, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.2(b) with respect to the Medical Insurance Continuation Benefit payable pursuant thereto. 
 6.5 Parachute Limitations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any compensation, payment, benefit or distribution by the Company or a Surviving Person (as the case may
be) to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (collectively, the “Severance Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax
imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then, the Severance Compensation payments shall be reduced to three (3) times Executive’s “base amount” (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code and the regulations
promulgated thereunder) less one dollar ($1.00). 
 6.6 Exclusivity of Remedies. In the event of a Section 6
Termination of Executive’s employment, the respective rights and remedies and the respective obligations of the Parties hereto set forth in this Section 6 shall constitute the sole and exclusive rights, remedies and obligations of the
Parties arising out of or in connection with any such termination of Executive’s employment with the Company or the Surviving Person (as the case may be), and each Party expressly disclaims and waives any and all other rights or remedies it or
he (as the case may be) would, but for the provisions of this Section 6.6, have under this Agreement or under applicable law by reason of any such Section 6 Termination or the acts or omissions that led to such Section 6 Termination.

 7. Timing of Payment of Termination Compensation 

7.1 Payment Delay. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent any of the Termination Compensation that has
become payable to Executive, pursuant to Section 5 or Section 6 above, is treated as non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, then (i) no such amount shall be payable pursuant to Section 5 or
Section 6, as applicable, if (i) Executive’s termination of employment constitutes a “separation from service” with the Company, as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h) or any successor
provision thereto (a “Separation from Service”), and (ii) the Company determines, at the time of Executive’s Separation from Service that he is a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i)
of the Code and that delayed commencement of the payment of any portion or all of the Termination Compensation to Executive by reason of such Separation from Service, is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (any such delayed commencement, a “Payment Delay”), then, such portion of such Termination Compensation shall not be paid or provided to Executive prior to the earliest of (A) the
expiration of the six (6) month period measured from the date of Executive’s Separation from Service, (B) the date of the Executive’s death or (C) such earlier date as is permitted under Section 409A of the Code.
Upon the expiration of the applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) deferral period, all payments deferred pursuant to a Payment Delay shall be paid in a lump sum to Executive within 10 days following such expiration, without interest, and any
then remaining payments due under the Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein. The determination of whether Executive is a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code as of the time of his
Separation from Service shall made by the Company in accordance with the terms of Section 409A of the Code and applicable guidance thereunder (including without limitation Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i) or any successor provision
thereto). 
 7.2 Exceptions to Payment Delay. Notwithstanding Section 7.1 above, to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law, amounts payable to Executive pursuant to Section 5 or Section 6 above, as the case may be, shall be made in reliance upon Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(9) with respect to separation pay plans, or

  
 9 

 
Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4) with respect to short-term deferrals. Accordingly, the severance or post-termination payments provided for in Section 5 and Section 6 are not
intended to provide for any deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code to the extent that: 
 (a) such
severance or post-termination payments payable pursuant hereto by their terms, and determined as of the date of Executive’s Separation from Service, may not be made later than the 15th day of the third calendar month following the later of
(i) the end of the Company’s fiscal year in which Executive’s Separation from Service occurs or (ii) the end of the calendar year in which Executive’s Separation from Service occurs, or 

(b) such severance payments (i) do not exceed an amount equal to two (2) times the lesser of (A) the amount of
Executive’s annualized compensation based upon Executive’s annual rate of pay for the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which Executive’s Separation from Service occurs (adjusted for any increase in such
annualized compensation during the calendar year in which such Separation from Service occurs that would be expected to continue indefinitely had Executive remained in the Company’s employ) or (B) the maximum amount that may be taken into
account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the calendar year in which Executive’s Separation from Service occurs, and (ii) shall be completed no later than December 31 of the second calendar
year following the calendar year in which Executive’s Separation from Service occurs. 
 8. Release of Claims. It
shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of the Company to pay Executive, and to the right of Executive to receive, the compensation and benefits set forth in Section 3.3 or Section 5 above, or the Severance Compensation and
benefits set forth in Section 6 above, as the case may be, that Executive shall (i) have executed and delivered to the Company, and not revoke, a separation and release agreement, in a form prescribed by Company (the “Separation
Agreement”), and (ii) remain in full compliance with the Separation Agreement. Such Separation Agreement shall include, without limitation, a non-disparagement provision, a post-termination cooperation provision, a confidentiality
provision, a covenant not to sue and a general release of all rights and claims, known or unknown, that Executive may have or may be entitled to assert against the Company, its Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns, provided
that such release shall not apply to Executive’s rights or the Company’s obligations under Section 3.3, Section 5 or Section 6 (as the case may be) of this Agreement. 

9. Effects of Early Termination of Employment on this Agreement. 

9.1 Effect of Early Termination of Employment on this Agreement. If Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason
whatsoever, whether by the Company or Executive, prior to the Agreement Expiration Date, then, this Agreement shall thereupon terminate automatically and shall be of no further force or effect, except as follows: 

(a) Sections 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, this Section 9 and Section 10 of this Agreement shall survive any such termination of
Executive’s employment with the Company, provided, however, that if Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or by Executive without Good Reason, then Sections 6 and 7 of this Agreement will not
survive such termination of Executive’s employment. 
 (b) Executive’s Employee Confidentiality Agreement shall
survive any termination, for any reason whatsoever, of this Agreement, whether by the Company or the Executive. 
 9.2 Effect
of Termination of Employment on Executive’s other Positions with the Company. If Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason, whether by the Company or Executive, then, Executive shall be deemed to have immediately resigned
from all other positions he may have then held with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including the position as a director of the Company and as a director of any of its subsidiaries, without the necessity of any further action by the Company
or Executive to effectuate or evidence such resignations. 
 10. Miscellaneous. 

10.1 No Other Agreements. This Agreement, together with the Employee Confidentiality Agreement and any existing agreements
pursuant to which Executive have been granted or awarded Equity Incentives 

  
 10 

 
by the Company (the “Other Agreements”) contain all of the terms and provisions relating to and governing the employment relationship between Executive and the Company and shall
supersede any other prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings (written, oral or implied) between Executive and the Company relating in any way to Executive’s employment as CEO of the Company. 

10.2 Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended at any time, but only by a written instrument signed by both Parties. A
waiver by either Party of any of its rights or any of the obligations of the other Party under this Agreement shall not be binding, effective or enforceable unless such waiver is set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party to be
charged thereby. No failure to exercise and no delay on the part of either Party in exercising any right or power hereunder or granted by law will operate as a waiver thereof and any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege shall
not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. 
 10.3
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or of the Employee Confidentiality Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof (as the
case may be) shall not be affected or impaired in any way. 
 10.4 Governing Law. This Agreement is made and is to be
performed in the state of California and shall be governed by, construed in accordance with and enforced under the internal laws of the State of California, excluding its choice of law rules and principles.

shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of commercial arbitration of the American Arbitration Association. Any arbitration proceeding shall be held exclusively in Santa Clara County, California and any
service of process in or in connection with any such proceeding shall be adequate if sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid to the address of the other Party last communicated in writing by such other Party to the Party initiating
such arbitration. The determinations of the arbitrator in any such proceeding shall be final and binding on and non-appealable by the Parties. Each Party shall bear and pay the fees and disbursements of the attorneys, accountants and expert
witnesses incurred by such Party in any such arbitration proceeding. 
 (b) Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Party
acknowledges that by agreeing to resolve any disputes between the Parties exclusively by arbitration, as provided in Paragraph 10.5(a) above, such Party is waiving any right it or he may have to resolve such disputes or controversies by means
of a trial by jury. EACH PARTY DOES HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE SUCH PARTY’S RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH ARBITRATION OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE PROCEEDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY
OF THE OTHER MATTERS SET FORTH IN PARAGRAPH 10.5(a) ABOVE, AND EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT THE TRIER OF FACT IN ANY SUCH ARBITRATION PROCEEDING SHALL BE THE ARBITRATOR.

prevent a threatened breach of this Agreement from taking place or to obtain specific performance of any of the obligations of the other Party hereto, and it is further expressly agreed by the Parties that, in the event any action or proceeding is
brought in equity to obtain any such relief or remedies, no Party will urge, as a defense thereto, that there is an adequate remedy available at law and no Party seeking such relief shall be obligated to post a bond or other security as a condition

 11 

 
provisions of this Agreement, and all such terms and provisions shall be construed in accordance with their fair meanings, and not strictly for or against any party hereto. Unless the context in
which such terms are used clearly and unambiguously indicates otherwise, for purposes of this Agreement (i) the term “or” shall not be exclusive, (ii) the terms “including” and “include” shall not be limiting

enforceable rights in this agreement. 
 Seller acknowledges that Buyer intends to resell the property and in connection
