General. Employee’s employment shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) Employee’s death, (ii) a termination by reason of a Disability, (iii) a termination by the Company with or without Cause, and
(iv) a termination by Employee with or without Good Reason. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the payment (or commencement of a series of payments) hereunder of any nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of
Section 409A of the Code) upon a termination of employment shall be delayed until such time as Employee has also undergone a “separation from service” as defined in Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1(h), at which time such nonqualified deferred
compensation (calculated as of the date of Employee’s termination of employment hereunder) shall be paid (or commence to be paid) to Employee on the schedule set forth in this Section 3 as if Employee had undergone such termination of
employment (under the same circumstances) on the date of his ultimate “separation from service.” 
 (b) Termination
due to Death or Disability. Employee’s employment shall terminate automatically upon his death. The Company may terminate Employee’s employment immediately upon the occurrence of a Disability, such termination to be effective upon
Employee’s receipt of written notice of such termination. In the event Employee’s employment is terminated due to his death or Disability, Employee or his estate or his beneficiaries, as the case may be, shall be entitled to: 

(i) The Accrued Obligations; and

termination occurred. 

 Following such termination of Employee’s employment by the reason of death or Disability, except as set
forth in this Section 3(b), Employee shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 
 (c) Termination by the Company for Cause. The Company may terminate Employee’s employment at any time for Cause, effective upon Employee’s receipt of written notice of such termination.
In the event the Company terminates Employee’s employment for Cause, he shall be entitled only to the Accrued Obligations. Following such termination of Employee’s employment for Cause, except as set forth in this Section 3(c),
Employee shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 
 (d) Termination by
the Company without Cause. The Company may terminate Employee’s employment at any time without Cause, effective upon Employee’s receipt of written notice of such termination. In the event Employee’s employment is terminated by the
Company without Cause (other than due to death or Disability), Employee shall be entitled to: 
 (i) The Accrued
Obligations; 
 (ii) Any unpaid Annual Bonus in respect to any completed fiscal year which
has ended prior to the date of such termination, which amount shall be paid at such time annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company, but in no event later than one day prior to the date that is 2  1/2 months following the last day of the fiscal year in which such
termination occurred; 
 (iii) Annual Bonus for the fiscal year of termination,
pro-rated for the period of service in the fiscal year of termination, to the extent applicable performance conditions are achieved for such fiscal year, such amount to be paid in a lump sum at the same time the Annual Bonus would otherwise have
been paid had such termination not occurred, but in no event later than one day prior to the date that is 2
 1/2 months following the last day of the fiscal
year in which such termination occurred; 
 (iv) Continuation of payment of Base Salary during the
Severance Term, payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices, it being agreed that each installment of Base Salary payable hereunder shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code;
and 
 (v) Continuation, during the Severance Term, of the medical benefits provided to Employee and his covered
dependants under the Company’s health plans in effect as of the date of such termination, it being understood and agreed that (A) Employee shall be required to pay that portion of the cost of such medical benefits as Employee was required
to pay (including through customary deductions from Employee’s paycheck) as of the date of Employee’s termination of employment with the Company, and (B) notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s obligation to provide such
continuation of benefits shall terminate prior to the expiration of the Severance Term in the event that Employee becomes eligible to receive any such or similar benefits while employed by or providing service to, in any capacity, any other business
or entity during the Severance Term; provided, however, that to the extent that the applicable Company health plan is self-insured and Employee qualifies as a “highly compensated individual” (within the meaning of Section 1OS
(h) of the Code), such continuation of benefits shall be provided on a fully taxable basis, based on 100% of the monthly premium cost of participation in the self-insured plan less any portion required to be paid by Employee pursuant to clause
(A) above. 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Severance Term shall expire, the payments and benefits described in
clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), and (v) above shall immediately terminate, and the Company shall have no further obligations to Employee with respect thereto, in the event that Employee breaches any provision of Section 4 hereof. Following such
termination of Employee’s employment by the Company without Cause, except as set forth in this Section 3(d), Employee shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 

(e) Termination by Employee with Good Reason. Employee may terminate his employment with Good Reason by providing the Company
thirty (30) days’ written notice setting forth in reasonable specificity the event that constitutes Good Reason, which written notice, to be effective, must be provided to the Company within sixty (60) days of the occurrence of such
event. During such thirty (30) day notice period, the Company shall have a cure right (if curable), and if not cured within such period, Employee’s termination will be effective upon the expiration of such cure period, and Employee shall
be entitled to the same payments and benefits as provided in Section 3(d) above for a termination by the Company without Cause, subject to the same conditions on payment and benefits as described in Section 3(d) above. Following such
termination of Employee’s employment by Employee with Good Reason, except as set forth in this Section 3(e), Employee shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 

(f) Termination by Employee without Good Reason. Employee may terminate his employment without Good Reason by providing the
Company thirty (30) days’ written notice of such termination. In the event of a termination of employment by Employee under this Section 3(f), Employee shall be entitled only to the Accrued Obligations. In the event of termination of
Employee’s employment under this Section 3(f), the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, by written notice accelerate such date of termination and still have it treated as a termination without Good Reason. Following such
termination of Employee’s employment by Employee without Good Reason, except as set forth in this Section 3(f), Employee shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 

(g) Parachute Payment. In the event that any payment or benefit received or to be received by Employee in connection with the
termination of his employment (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement, or agreement with the Company or any person affiliated with the Company (collectively, the “Parachute Payments”)) would
not be deductible (in whole or in part) by the Company, an affiliate, or other person making such payment or providing such benefit, as a result of Section 280G of the Code, at Employee’s election, either (i) the Parachute Payments
shall be reduced until no portion of the Parachute Payments is not deductible, (ii) Employee shall pay the excise tax payable pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code with respect to the “excess parachute payment” (as defined in
Section 280G of the Code), or (iii) Employee shall agree to waive all or a portion of the Parachute Payments and allow the Company to request the approval of the waived payments by the members of Parent in accordance with Section 280G
and the Treasury Regulations promulgated there under. 

 (h) Release. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the payment of any
amount or provision of any benefit pursuant to subsection (b), (d), or (e) of this Section 3 (other than the Accrued Obligations) (collectively, the “Severance Benefits”) shall be conditioned upon Employee’s
execution, delivery to the Company, and non-revocation of a customary general release in favor of the Company Group in such form as is reasonably required by the Company, that does not contain any post-employment restrictions that are in addition to
those contained in this Agreement (and the expiration of any revocation period contained in such release) within sixty (60) days following the date of Employee’s termination of employment hereunder. If Employee fails to execute the release
in such a timely manner so as to permit any revocation period to expire prior to the end of such sixty (60) day period, or timely revokes his acceptance of such release following its execution, Employee shall not be entitled to any of the
Severance Benefits. Further, to the extent that any of the Severance Benefits constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, any payment of any amount or provision of any benefit otherwise
scheduled to occur prior to the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of Employee’s termination of employment hereunder, but for the condition on executing the release as set forth herein, shall not be made until the first regularly
scheduled payroll date following such sixtieth (60th) day, after which any remaining Severance Benefits shall thereafter be provided to Employee according to the applicable schedule set forth herein. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of
a termination due to Employee’s death or Disability, Employee’s obligations herein to execute and not revoke the release may be satisfied on his behalf by his estate or a person having legal power of attorney over his affairs. 

Section 4. Restrictive Covenants. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the agreements and covenants contained in this
Section 4 are (i) reasonable and valid in geographical and temporal scope and in all other respects, and (ii) essential to protect the value of the business and assets of the Company Group. 

(a) Confidential Information. At any time during and after the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company for any
reason, without the prior written consent of the Board, except to the extent required by an order of a court having jurisdiction or under subpoena from an appropriate government agency, in which event, Employee shall use his best efforts to consult
with the Board prior to responding to any such order or subpoena, and except as required in the performance of his duties and responsibilities as an employee, Employee shall not disclose to or use for the benefit of himself or any third party any
Confidential Information. 
 (b) Non-Competition. Employee covenants and agrees that during the Restricted Period,
Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, individually or jointly, own any interest in, operate, join, control or participate as a partner, director, principal, officer, or agent of, enter into the employment of, act as a consultant to, or perform
any services for any Person (other than the Company or any other member of the Company Group), that engages in any Competitive Activities within the Restricted Area. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 4(b) shall not
prevent Employee from acquiring as an investment securities representing not more than three percent (3%) of the outstanding voting securities of any publicly-held corporation. 

 (c) Non-Solicitation; Non-Interference. During the Restricted Period, Employee shall
not, directly or indirectly, for his own account or for the account of any other Person, engage in Interfering Activities. 

(d) Return of Documents. In the event of the termination of Employee’s employment for any reason, Employee shall deliver to
the Company all of (i) the property of the Company and any other member of the Company Group and (ii) the documents and data of any nature and in whatever medium of the Company and any other member of the Company Group, and he shall not
take with him any such property, documents or data or any reproduction thereof, or any documents containing or pertaining to any Confidential Information. 
 (e) Works for Hire. Employee agrees that the Company shall own all right, title and interest throughout the world in and to any and all inventions, original works of authorship, developments,
concepts, know-how, improvements or trade secrets, whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar laws, which Employee may solely or jointly conceive or develop or reduce to practice, or cause to be conceived or developed or
reduced to practice during the term of Employee’s employment with the Company, whether or not during regular working hours, provided they either (i) relate at the time of conception or development to the actual or demonstrably proposed
business or research and development activities of any member of the Company Group; (ii) result from or relate to any work performed for the Company or any member of the Company Group; or (iii) are developed through the use of Confidential
Information and/or Company resources or in consultation with any personnel of the Company or any other member of the Company Group (collectively referred to as “Developments”). Employee hereby assigns all right, title and interest
in and to any and all of these Developments to the Company. Employee agrees to assist the Company, at the Company’s expense, to further evidence, record and perfect such assignments, and to perfect, obtain, maintain, enforce, and defend any
rights specified to be so owned or assigned. Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its agents as attorneys-in-fact to act for and on Employee’s behalf to execute and file any document and to do all other lawfully
permitted acts to further the purposes of the foregoing with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Employee. In addition, and not in contravention of any of the foregoing, Employee acknowledges that all original works of authorship which
are made by him (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of employment and which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. Sec. 101). To the extent
allowed by law, this includes all rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as “moral rights.” To the extent Employee retains any such moral rights under applicable
law, Employee hereby waives such moral rights and consents to any action consistent with the terms of this Agreement with respect to such moral rights, in each case, to the full extent of such applicable law. Employee will confirm any such waivers
and consents from time to time as requested by the Company. 

 Section 5. Blue Pencil. 

If any court of competent jurisdiction shall at any time deem the duration or the geographic scope of any of the provisions of
Section 4 hereof unenforceable, the other provisions of Section 4 hereof shall nevertheless stand and the duration and/or geographic scope set forth herein shall be deemed to be the longest period and/or greatest size permissible by law
under the circumstances, and the parties hereto agree that such court shall reduce the time period and/or geographic scope to permissible duration or size. 
 Section 6. Injunctive Relief. 
 Without limiting the remedies
available to the Company, Employee acknowledges that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Section 4 hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Company Group for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be
possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of such a breach or threat thereof, the Company (or any other member of the Company Group) shall be entitled to obtain a temporary restraining order and/or a preliminary
or permanent injunction, · without the necessity of proving irreparable harm or injury as a result of such breach or threatened breach of Section 4 hereof, restraining Employee from engaging in activities prohibited by Section 4
hereof or such other relief as may be required specifically to enforce any of the covenants in Section 4 hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the Restricted Period shall be tolled during any period of violation of any of
the covenants in Section 4(b) or (c) hereof and during any other period required for litigation during which the Company (or any other member of the Company Group) seeks to enforce such covenants against Employee if it is ultimately determined
that Employee was in breach of such covenants. 
 Section 7. Representations and Warranties of Employee. 

Employee represents and warrants to the Company that he is entering into this Agreement voluntarily and that his compliance with the
terms and conditions hereof will not conflict with or result in the breach by him of any agreement to which he is a party or by which he may be bound. 
 Section 8. Taxes. 
 The Company may withhold from any compensatory
payments made to Employee, under this Agreement or otherwise, all applicable taxes, including but not limited to income, employment and social insurance taxes, as shall be required by law. Employee acknowledges and represents that the Company has
not provided any tax advice to him in connection with this Agreement and that he has been advised by the Company to seek tax advice from his own tax advisors regarding this Agreement and payments that may be made to him pursuant to this Agreement,
including specifically, the application of the provisions of Section 409A of the Code to such payments. 
 Section 9.
Mitigation. 
 Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for pursuant to this
Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise. 

 Section 10. Additional Section 409A Provisions. 

(a) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, any payment otherwise required to be made hereunder to the Employee
at any date as a result of the termination of Employee’s employment (other than any payment made in reliance upon Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-l(b)(9) (Separation Pay Plans) or Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-l(b)(4) (Short-Term Deferrals))
shall be delayed for such period of time as may be necessary to meet the requirements of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code. On the earliest date on which such payments can be made without violating the requirements of
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, there shall be paid to the Employee, in a single cash lump sum, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all payments delayed pursuant to the preceding sentence. No payment due under this Agreement shall
be delayed or deferred to a date that would violate Section 409A of the Code. 
 (b) Each payment in a series of payments
hereunder shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. 
 (c) To the extent that any
right to reimbursement of expenses or payment of any benefit in-kind under this Agreement constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), (i) any such expense reimbursement shall be made by
the Company no later than the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expense was incurred by Employee, (ii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for
another benefit, and (iii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other taxable
year; provided, that the foregoing clause shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Section 105(b) of the Code solely because such expenses are subject to a limit related to the period the
arrangement is in effect. 
 (d) While the payments and benefits provided hereunder are intended to be structured in a manner to
avoid the implication of any penalty taxes under Section 409A of the Code, in no event whatsoever shall the Parent or any of its affiliates (including, without limitation, the Company) be liable for any additional tax, interest, or penalties
that may be imposed on Employee as a result of Section 409A of the Code or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A of the Code (other than for withholding obligations or other obligations applicable to employers, if any, under
Section 409A of the Code). 
 Section 11. Successors and Assigns; No Third-Party Beneficiaries;
Indemnification. 
 (a) The Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Company and its respective
successors and assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, obligations or interests arising hereunder may be assigned by the Company without Employee’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned), to a person or entity other than an affiliate or parent entity of the Company, or their respective successors or assigns; provided, however, that, in the event of the merger, consolidation, transfer or sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company with or to any other individual or entity, this Agreement shall, subject to the provisions hereof, be binding upon and inure to the benefit of such successor and such successor shall discharge and
perform all the promises, covenants, duties and obligations of the Company hereunder, it being agreed that in such circumstances, the consent of Employee shall not be required in connection therewith. 

 (b) Employee. Employee’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall not
be transferable by Employee by assignment or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, however, that if Employee shall die, all amounts then payable to Employee hereunder shall be paid in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement to Employee’s devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there be no such designee, to Employee’s estate. 
 (c) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 3(b) or Section ll(b) hereof, nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any person or
entity other than the Company, the other members of the Company Group and Employee any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement. 

Section 12. Waiver and Amendments. 
 Any waiver, alteration, amendment or modification of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid only if made in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto; provided, however, that any
such waiver, alteration, amendment or modification is consented to on the Company’s behalf by the Board. No waiver by either of the parties hereto of their rights hereunder shall be deemed to constitute a waiver with respect to any subsequent
occurrences or transactions hereunder unless such waiver specifically states that it is to be construed as a continuing waiver. 

Section 13. Severability. 
 If any covenants or such other provisions of this Agreement are found to be invalid or unenforceable by a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction: (a) the remaining terms and
provisions hereof shall be unimpaired, and (b) the invalid or unenforceable term or provision hereof shall be deemed replaced by a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid
or unenforceable term or provision hereof. 
 Section 14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. 

This Agreement is governed by and is to be construed under the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict of laws rules.
Any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or claim of breach hereof (other than claims for injunctive relief, which shall be governed by Section 6 hereof) shall be brought exclusively in the Federal or state court in
Hillsborough County, Florida. By execution of the Agreement, the parties hereto, and their respective affiliates, consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, and waive any right to challenge jurisdiction or venue in such court with regard
to any suit, action, or proceeding under or in connection with the Agreement. Each party to this Agreement also hereby waives any right to trial by jury in connection with any suit, action or proceeding under or in connection with this Agreement.

 Section 15. Notices.

Employee’s last known address, as reflected in the Company’s records. 
 (b) Any notice so addressed shall be deemed
to be given: (i) if delivered by hand, on the date of such delivery; (ii) if mailed by courier or by overnight mail, on the first business day following the date of such mailing; or (iii) if mailed by registered or certified mail, on
the third business day after the date of such mailing.

shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s discretionary annual bonus program on the same basis as other similarly situated executives of the Company. The payment of any Annual Bonus awarded pursuant to the Company’s discretionary

Date, the Company shall pay Employee the amount of $25,000 in cash, as full compensation for all of his relocation expenses. 

Section 3. Payments Upon Termination of Employment. 
 (a) General. Employee’s employment shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) Employee’s death, (ii) a termination by reason of a Disability, (iii) a termination by
the Company with or without Cause, and (iv) a termination by Employee with or without Good Reason. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the payment (or commencement of a series of payments) hereunder of any nonqualified deferred
compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) upon a termination of employment shall be delayed until such time as Employee has also undergone a “separation from service” as defined in Treas. Reg. 1.409A-l(h), at which
time such nonqualified deferred compensation (calculated as of the date of Employee’s termination of employment hereunder) shall be paid (or commence to be paid) to Employee on the schedule set forth in this Section 3 as if Employee had
undergone such termination of employment (under the same circumstances) on the date of his ultimate “separation from service.” 
 (b) Termination due to Death or Disability. Employee’s employment shall terminate automatically upon his death. The Company may terminate Employee’s employment immediately upon the
occurrence of a Disability, such termination to be effective upon Employee’s receipt of written notice of such termination. In the event Employee’s employment is terminated due to his death or Disability, Employee or his estate or his
beneficiaries, as the case may be, shall be entitled to: 
 (i) The Accrued Obligations; and 

 (ii) Any unpaid Annual Bonus in respect to any completed
fiscal year which has ended prior to the date of such termination, which amount shall be paid at such time annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company, but in no event later than one day prior to the date that is
2 1/2 months following the last day of the fiscal
year in which such termination occurred. 
 Following such termination of Employee’s employment by the reason of death or
Disability, except as set forth in this Section 3(b), Employee shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 
 (c) Termination by the Company for Cause. The Company may terminate Employee’s employment at any time for Cause, effective upon Employee’s receipt of written notice of such termination.
In the event the Company terminates Employee’s employment for Cause, he shall be entitled only to the Accrued Obligations. Following such termination of Employee’s employment for Cause, except as set forth in this Section 3(c),
Employee shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 
 (d) Termination by
the Company without Cause. The Company may terminate Employee’s employment at any time without Cause, effective upon Employee’s receipt of written notice of such termination. In the event Employee’s employment is terminated by the
Company without Cause (other than due to death or Disability), Employee shall be entitled to: 
 (i) The Accrued
Obligations; 
 (ii) Any unpaid Annual Bonus in respect to any completed fiscal year which
has ended prior to the date of such termination, which amount shall be paid at such time annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company, but in no event later than one day prior to the date that is 2 1/2 months following the last day of the fiscal year in which such
termination occurred; 
 (iii) Annual Bonus for the fiscal year of termination,
pro-rated for the period of service in the fiscal year of termination, to the extent applicable performance conditions are achieved for such fiscal year, such amount to be paid in a lump sum at the same time the Annual Bonus would otherwise have
been paid had such termination not occurred, but in no event later than one day prior to the date that is
2 1/2 months following the last day of the fiscal
year in which such termination occurred; 
 (iv) Continuation of payment of Base Salary during the
Severance Term, payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices, it being agreed that each installment of Base Salary payable hereunder shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code;
and 

 (v) Continuation, during the Severance Term, of the medical benefits
provided to Employee and his covered dependants under the Company’s health plans in effect as of the date of such termination, it being understood and agreed that (A) Employee shall be required to pay that portion of the cost of such
medical benefits as Employee was required to pay (including through customary deductions from Employee’s paycheck) as of the date of Employee’s termination of employment with the Company, and (B) notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company’s obligation to provide such continuation of benefits shall terminate prior to the expiration of the Severance Term in the event that Employee becomes eligible to receive any such or similar benefits while employed by or providing
service to, in any capacity, any other business or entity during the Severance Term; provided, however, that to the extent that the applicable Company health plan is self-insured and Employee qualifies as a “highly compensated
individual” (within the meaning of Section 105(h) of the Code), such continuation of benefits shall be provided on a fully taxable basis, based on 100% of the monthly premium cost of participation in the self-insured plan less any portion
required to be paid by Employee pursuant to clause (A) above. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Severance Term shall expire, the
payments and benefits described in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), and (v) above shall immediately terminate, and the Company shall have no further obligations to Employee with respect thereto, in the event that Employee breaches any provision of
Section 4 hereof. Fallowing such termination of Employee’s employment by the Company without Cause, except as set forth in this Section 3(d), Employee shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this
Agreement. 
 (e) Termination by Employee with Good Reason. Employee may terminate his employment with Good Reason by
providing the Company thirty (30) days’ written notice setting forth in reasonable specificity the event that constitutes Good Reason, which written notice, to be effective, must be provided to the Company within sixty (60) days of
the occurrence of such event. During such thirty (30) day notice period, the Company shall have a cure right (if curable), and if not cured within such period, Employee’s termination will be effective upon the expiration of such cure
period, and Employee shall be entitled to the same payments and benefits as provided in Section 3(d) above for a termination by the Company without Cause, subject to the same conditions on payment and benefits as described in Section 3(d)
above. Following such termination of Employee’s employment by Employee with Good Reason, except as set forth in this Section 3(e), Employee shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.

 (f) Termination by Employee without Good Reason. Employee may terminate his employment without Good Reason by
providing the Company thirty (30) days’ written notice of such termination. In the event of a termination of employment by Employee under this Section 3(f), Employee shall be entitled only to the Accrued Obligations. In the event of
termination of Employee’s employment under this Section 3(f), the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, by written notice accelerate such date of termination and still have it treated as a termination without Good Reason.
Following such termination of Employee’s employment by Employee without Good Reason, except as set forth in this Section 3(f), Employee shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.

 (g) Parachute Payment. In the event that any payment or benefit received or to be
received by Employee in connection with the termination of his employment (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement, or agreement with the Company or any person affiliated with the Company (collectively, the
“Parachute Payments”)) would not be deductible (in whole or in part) by the Company, an affiliate, or other person making such payment or providing such benefit, as a result of Section 280G of the Code, at Employee’s
election, either (i) the Parachute Payments shall be reduced until no portion of the Parachute Payments is not deductible, (ii) Employee shall pay the excise tax payable pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code with respect to the
“excess parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code), or (iii) Employee shall agree to waive all or a portion of the Parachute Payments and allow the Company to request the approval of the waived payments by the
members of Parent in accordance with Section 280G and the Treasury Regulations promulgated there under. 
 (h)
Release. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the payment of any amount or provision of any benefit pursuant to subsection (b), (d), or (e) of this Section 3 (other than the Accrued Obligations) (collectively, the
“Severance Benefits”) shall be conditioned upon Employee’s execution, delivery to the Company, and non-revocation of a customary general release in favor of the Company Group in such form as is reasonably required by the
Company, that does not contain any post-employment restrictions that are in addition to those contained in this Agreement (and the expiration of any revocation period contained in such release) within sixty (60) days following the date of
Employee’s termination of employment hereunder. If Employee fails to execute the release in such a timely manner so as to permit any revocation period to expire prior to the end of such sixty (60) day period, or timely revokes his
acceptance of such release following its execution, Employee shall not be entitled to any of the Severance Benefits. Further, to the extent that any of the Severance Benefits constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of
Section 409A of the Code, any payment of any amount or provision of any benefit otherwise scheduled to occur prior to the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of Employee’s termination of employment hereunder, but for the condition
on executing the release as set forth herein, shall not be made until the first regularly scheduled payroll date following such sixtieth (60th) day, after which any remaining Severance Benefits shall thereafter be provided to Employee according
to the applicable schedule set forth herein. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a termination due to Employee’s death or Disability, Employee’s obligations herein to execute and not revoke the release may be satisfied on his
behalf by his estate or a person having legal power of attorney over his affairs. 
 Section 4. Restrictive Covenants.
Employee acknowledges and agrees that the agreements and covenants contained in this Section 4 are (i) reasonable and valid in geographical and temporal scope and in all other respects, and (ii) essential to protect the value of
the business and assets of the Company Group. 
 (a) Confidential Information. At any time during and after the
termination of Employee’s employment with the Company for any reason, without the prior written consent of the Board, except to the extent required by an order of a court having jurisdiction or under subpoena from an appropriate government
agency, in which event, Employee shall use his best efforts to consult with the Board prior to responding to any such order or subpoena, and except as required in the performance of his duties and responsibilities as an employee, Employee shall not
disclose to or use for the benefit of himself or any third party any Confidential Information. 

 (b) Non-Competition. Employee covenants and agrees that during the Restricted Period,
Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, individually or jointly, own any interest in, operate, join, control or participate as a partner, director, principal, officer, or agent of, enter into the employment of, act as a consultant to, or perform
any services for any Person (other than the Company or any other member of the Company Group), that engages in any Competitive Activities within the Restricted Area. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 4(b) shall not
prevent Employee from acquiring as an investment securities representing not more than three percent (3%) of the outstanding voting securities of any publicly-held corporation. 

(c) Non-Solicitation; Non-Interference. During the Restricted Period, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, for his own
account or for the account of any other Person, engage in Interfering Activities. 
 (d) Return of Documents. In the
event of the termination of Employee’s employment for any reason, Employee shall deliver to the Company all of (i) the property of the Company and any other member of the Company Group and (ii) the documents and data of any nature and
in whatever medium of the Company and any other member of the Company Group, and he shall not take with him any such property, documents or data or any reproduction thereof, or any documents containing or pertaining to any Confidential Information.

 (e) Works for Hire. Employee agrees that the Company shall own all right, title and interest throughout the world in
and to any and all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, concepts, know-how, improvements or trade secrets, whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar laws, which Employee may solely or jointly conceive or
develop or reduce to practice, or cause to be conceived or developed or reduced to practice during the term of Employee’s employment with the Company, whether or not during regular working hours, provided they either (i) relate at the time
of conception or development to the actual or demonstrably proposed business or research and development activities of any member of the Company Group; (ii) result from or relate to any work performed for the Company or any member of the
Company Group; or (iii) are developed through the use of Confidential Information and/or Company resources or in consultation with any personnel of the Company or any other member of the Company Group (collectively referred to as
“Developments”). Employee hereby assigns all right, title and interest in and to any and all of these Developments to the Company. Employee agrees to assist the Company, at the Company’s expense, to further evidence, record and
perfect such assignments, and to perfect, obtain, maintain, enforce, and defend any rights specified to be so owned or assigned. Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its agents as attorneys-in-fact to act for and on
Employee’s behalf to execute and file any document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the foregoing with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Employee. In addition, and not in contravention of
any of the foregoing, Employee acknowledges that all original works of authorship which are made by him (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of employment and which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” as
that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. Sec. 101). To the extent allowed by law, this includes all rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as
“moral rights.” To the extent Employee retains any such moral rights under applicable law. Employee hereby waives such moral rights and consents to any action consistent with the terms of this Agreement with respect to such moral rights,
in each case, to the full extent of such applicable law. Employee will confirm any such waivers and consents from time to time as requested by the Company. 

 Section 5. Blue Pencil. 

If any court of competent jurisdiction shall at any time deem the duration or the geographic scope of any of the provisions of
Section 4 hereof unenforceable, the other provisions of Section 4 hereof shall nevertheless stand and the duration and/or geographic scope set forth herein shall be deemed to be the longest period and/or greatest size permissible by law
under the circumstances, and the parties hereto agree that such court shall reduce the time period and/or geographic scope to permissible duration or size. 
 Section 6. Injunctive Relief. 
 Without limiting the remedies
available to the Company, Employee acknowledges that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Section 4 hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Company Group for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be
possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of such a breach or threat thereof, the Company (or any other member of the Company Group) shall be entitled to obtain a temporary restraining order and/or a preliminary
or permanent injunction, without the necessity of proving irreparable harm or injury as a result of such breach or threatened breach of Section 4 hereof, restraining Employee from engaging in activities prohibited by Section 4 hereof or
such other relief as may be required specifically to enforce any of the covenants in Section 4 hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the Restricted Period shall be tolled during any period of violation of any of the
covenants in Section 4(b) or (c) hereof and during any other period required for litigation during which the Company (or any other member of the Company Group) seeks to enforce such covenants against Employee if it is ultimately determined that
Employee was in breach of such covenants. 
 Section 7. Representations and Warranties of Employee. 

Employee represents and warrants to the Company that he is entering into this Agreement voluntarily and that his compliance with the
terms and conditions hereof will not conflict with or result in the breach by him of any agreement to which he is a party or by which he may be bound. 
 Section 8. Taxes. 
 The Company may withhold from any compensatory
payments made to Employee, under this Agreement or otherwise, all applicable taxes, including but not limited to income, employment and social insurance taxes, as shall be required by law. Employee acknowledges and represents that the Company has
not provided any tax advice to him in connection with this Agreement and that he has been advised by the Company to seek tax advice from his own tax advisors regarding this Agreement and payments that may be made to him pursuant to this Agreement,
including specifically, the application of the provisions of Section 409A of the Code to such payments. 
 Section 9.
Mitigation. 
 Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for pursuant to this
Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise. 

 Section 10. Additional Section 409A Provisions. 

(a) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, any payment otherwise required to be made hereunder to the Employee
at any date as a result of the termination of Employee’s employment (other than any payment made in reliance upon Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) (Separation Pay Plans) or Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) (Short-Term Deferrals))
shall be delayed for such period of time as may be necessary to meet the requirements of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code. On the earliest date on which such payments can be made without violating the requirements of
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, there shall be paid to the Employee, in a single cash lump sum, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all payments delayed pursuant to the preceding sentence. No payment due under this Agreement shall
be delayed or deferred to a date that would violate Section 409A of the Code. 
 (b) Each payment in a series of payments
hereunder shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. 
 (c) To the extent that any
right to reimbursement of expenses or payment of any benefit in-kind under this Agreement constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), (i) any such expense reimbursement shall be made by
the Company no later than the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expense was incurred by Employee, (ii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for
another benefit, and (iii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other taxable
year; provided, that the foregoing clause shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Section 105(b) of the Code solely because such expenses are subject to a limit related to the period the
arrangement is in effect. 
 (d) While the payments and benefits provided hereunder are intended to be structured in a manner to
avoid the implication of any penalty taxes under Section 409A of the Code, in no event whatsoever shall the Parent or any of its affiliates (including, without limitation, the Company) be liable for any additional tax, interest, or penalties
that may be imposed on Employee as a result of Section 409A of the Code or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A of the Code (other than for withholding obligations or other obligations applicable to employers, if any, under
Section 409A of the Code). 
 Section 11. Successors and Assigns; No Third-Party Beneficiaries;
Indemnification. 
 (a) The Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Company and its respective
successors and assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, obligations or interests arising hereunder may be assigned by the Company without Employee’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned), to a person or entity other than an affiliate or parent entity of the Company, or their respective successors or assigns; provided, however, that, in the event of the merger, consolidation, transfer or sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company with or to any other individual or entity, this Agreement shall, subject to the provisions hereof, be binding upon and inure to the benefit of such successor and such successor shall discharge and
perform all the promises, covenants, duties and obligations of the Company hereunder, it being agreed that in such circumstances, the consent of Employee shall not be required in connection therewith. 

 (b) Employee. Employee’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall not
be transferable by Employee by assignment or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, however, that if Employee shall die, all amounts then payable to Employee hereunder shall be paid in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement to Employee’s devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there be no such designee, to Employee’s estate. 
 (c) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 3(b) or Section 11(b) hereof, nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any person
or entity other than the Company, the other members of the Company Group and Employee any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement. 

Section 12. Waiver and Amendments. 
 Any waiver, alteration, amendment or modification of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid only if made in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto; provided, however, that any
such waiver, alteration, amendment or modification is consented to on the Company’s behalf by the Board. No waiver by either of the parties hereto of their rights hereunder shall be deemed to constitute a waiver with respect to any subsequent
