 THEREFORE, in exchange for the good and valuable consideration set forth herein, the adequacy of which is specifically
acknowledged, Executive and the Company hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Term of Services. 

(a) Termination of Employment and Board Service. The Parties acknowledge that the Employment Termination Date will constitute
Executive’s “separation from service” with the Company as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) and any successor provision thereto. Effective as of the Employment Termination Date, Executive hereby

Executive under this Agreement without Executive’s written consent. “Disability” means Executive’s inability to perform the essential functions of his position, with or without reasonable accommodation, for a period
of at least one hundred twenty (120) consecutive dates because of a physical or mental impairment. 
 2. Scope of
Services During Consulting Period. 
 (a) During the Consulting Period, Executive shall devote such percentage of his
business time and effort to the performance of his services hereunder as shall be reasonably requested or directed from time to time by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and shall provide such additional information, advice and assistance
concerning matters that are within the scope of Executive’s knowledge and expertise, including Executive’s efforts to advance

developments in U.S. intellectual property law that protect entrepreneurs and those entities that are primarily responsible for job creation in the U.S. economy, including the marketing and
promotion of Executive’s book Great Again – Revitalizing America’s Entrepreneurial Leadership (Harvard Business Press) (“Great Again”), and otherwise, not to exceed in the aggregate eighty
(80) hours in any thirty (30) day period. Executive’s advice shall be of an advisory nature and the Company shall not have any obligation to follow such advice. Executive agrees to perform the consulting services and any other
obligations or activities hereunder in accordance with (x) the terms of this Agreement, (y) all applicable laws, and (z) all Company policies and procedures provided to Executive in connection with Executive’s performance under
this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the foregoing shall in no way limit or restrict Executive’s ability to speak freely with respect to the subject matter of his book, Great Again. 

(b) Executive generally shall be available to provide services under this Agreement during normal business hours (“normal business
hours” being 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on any day excluding Saturday, Sunday and any day which is a legal holiday under the laws of the State of California or is a day on which banking institutions located in California are

such methods as Executive determines. Executive shall fulfill his responsibilities under this Agreement by providing such services by telephone and e-mail, as Executive may reasonably determine. The Company shall reasonably accommodate

independent contractor, limited or general partner, member, shareholder, joint venturer, advisor, or otherwise of, any profit or nonprofit business or organization which competes with the business of the Company as conducted on the Effective Date

makes for coverage for Executive and his eligible dependents who were covered under the Company’s group health plans immediately prior to the Employment Termination Date under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as
amended (“COBRA”), provided Executive timely elects and pays for continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA within the time period prescribed pursuant to COBRA (“COBRA Reimbursements”), or (ii) for
any portion of the Coverage Period in which Executive and his eligible dependents are not eligible for COBRA due to the expiration of Executive’s eligibility for COBRA coverage, reimburse Executive for the monthly premiums for continued
healthcare coverage under an individual policy covering Executive and his eligible dependents (which monthly reimbursement shall not exceed the amount of Executive’s COBRA premium as of the Employment Termination Date). The foregoing
reimbursements shall be made by the Company to Executive consistent with the Company’s normal expense reimbursement policy, provided that Executive submits documentation to the Company substantiating his payments for COBRA or other healthcare
coverage, with such reimbursement occurring within thirty (30) days of Executive’s submission of said documentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the foregoing
reimbursements in a manner that is exempt from Section 409A of the Code or without violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), then, in either case, the Company shall instead pay
to Executive an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium for Executive and his eligible dependents as of the Employment Termination Date in monthly installments over the Coverage Period (or the remaining portion thereof). 

(d) Equity. The Parties acknowledge and agree that following the Employment Termination Date, Executive’s unvested equity
awards will no longer vest under the existing vesting schedules set forth in the Equity Award Agreements and will instead vest as described in this paragraph. Upon the Release Effective Date, the vesting of each of Executive’s outstanding
equity awards (the “Equity Awards”) (other than awards the vesting of which is solely performance-based (the “Performance Awards”), which Performance Awards are set forth on Schedule A attached
hereto) will accelerate vesting and exercisability by the amount that would have vested under the original vesting schedules during the period commencing on the first anniversary of the Employment Termination Date and ending on the second
anniversary of the Employment Termination Date had the Executive continued to provide services during such period, and the vesting of the Performance Awards shall accelerate as set forth on Schedule A. If Executive continues to perform the
Consulting Services pursuant to this Agreement through May 11, 2012, each of Executive’s outstanding Equity Awards (other than Performance Awards) will continue to vest in accordance with their original vesting schedules during the period
commencing on the Employment Termination Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Employment Termination Date. The exercise of Executive’s vested Equity Awards shall continue to be governed by the terms and conditions of the Equity Award
Agreements; provided, that all such Equity Awards, including the Performance Awards, shall survive the Employment Termination Date and remain exercisable for not less than ninety (90) days following the second anniversary of the Employment
Termination Date. Executive acknowledges that he is not entitled to any additional grant of equity awards.

 (e) Benefits. Executive’s health insurance benefits shall cease on the last day
of May 2011, subject to Executive’s right to continue his health insurance under COBRA and to reimbursement for COBRA premiums pursuant to Section 4(c) above. Executive’s participation in all benefits and incidents of employment,
including, but not limited to, the accrual of bonuses, vacation, and paid time off, shall cease as of the Employment Termination Date.

shall promptly reimburse Executive for all reasonable and properly documented business expenses that are submitted by him in accordance with the Company’s policies and this section. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Executive acknowledges
and agrees that with his final check, and the expense reimbursements described above, and other than the consideration set forth in this Agreement, the Company has paid or provided all salary, wages, bonuses, accrued vacation/paid time off,
premiums, leaves, housing allowances, relocation costs, interest, severance, outplacement costs, fees, reimbursable expenses, commissions, stock, stock options, vesting, and any and all other benefits and compensation due to Executive. 

(g) General Release of Claims by Executive. Executive’s right to receive any of the payments or other compensation to be made
to Executive pursuant to Section 3 and this Section 4 shall be contingent on Executive providing to the Company a full and complete general release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the
“Release”) within twenty-one (21) days following the Employment Termination Date and Executive’s failure to revoke such Release within the time period provided therein. The date on which the Release becomes
effective shall be considered the “Release Effective Date.” 
 5. Consulting Termination
Payments. If the Consulting Period terminates prior to May 11, 2013, as a result of (a) the Company’s termination of the Consulting Period, (b) Executive’s termination of the Consulting Period for Good Reason, or

remained a consultant during the entire Consulting Period, plus (y) all Equity Awards which otherwise would have vested on or prior to May 11, 2013 pursuant to Section 4(d) shall accelerate and vest in full to the extent they
otherwise would have vested had such termination not transpired (the “Severance Payment”), less any applicable tax withholding, in exchange for and conditioned upon the Executive’s execution of a Supplemental Release,

 -8-

 
any failure by him to make required payments. During the Consulting Period, Executive shall be solely responsible for taxes required to be paid with respect to his performance of services and the
receipt of consideration under this Agreement, including, without limitation, United States federal, state and local income taxes, payroll taxes, social security, unemployment or disability insurance, or similar items. Executive acknowledges that
the payments and benefits provided in this Agreement may have tax ramifications to him. The Company has provided no tax or other advice to Executive on such matters and Executive is free to consult with an accountant, legal counsel, or other tax

 14. Severability. Except as otherwise specified below, should any portion of this Agreement be
found void or unenforceable for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Parties intend that such provision be limited or modified so as to make it enforceable, and if such provision cannot be modified to be enforceable, the
unenforceable portion shall be deemed severed from the remaining portions of this Agreement, which shall otherwise remain in full force and effect. If any portion of this Agreement is so found to be void or unenforceable for any reason in regard to
any one or more persons, entities, or subject matters, such portion shall remain in full force and effect with respect to all other persons, entities, and subject matters. This paragraph shall not operate, however, to sever Executive’s
obligation to provide the binding release to all entities intended to be released hereunder. 
 15. Understanding and
Authority. The Parties understand and agree that all terms of this Agreement are contractual and are not a mere recital, and represent and warrant that they are competent to covenant and agree as herein provided. 

16. Integration Clause. This Agreement, together with all documents referenced herein, contains the entire agreement of the
Parties with regard to the separation of Executive’s 

  
 -9-

 
employment, and supersedes and replaces any prior agreements as to that matter, including, without limitation, the Letter Agreement and the Severance Agreements, each between the Company and
Executive; provided, that this Agreement shall not supersede or replace the Indemnification Agreements, the Insurance Policies, or the Organizational Documents, nor shall it supersede or replace the Equity Awards or the Performance Awards, except to
the extent expressly provided herein. This Agreement may not be changed or modified, in whole or in part, except by an instrument in writing signed by Executive and an executive officer of the Company. 

17. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts with the same force and effectiveness as though
executed in a single document. 
 18. Section 409A of the Code. The provisions of this Agreement and all
compensation and benefits provided for under this Agreement are intended to comply with or be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the severance payments and other payments and benefits to be provided will be subject to
the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities or ambiguous terms herein will be interpreted to be exempt or so comply. In furtherance of the foregoing, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Executive is a
“specified employee” (as determined by the Company in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(2)) as of the date that Executive incurs a separation from service and if any payment or benefit under this Agreement
cannot be paid or provided in a manner otherwise provided without subjecting Executive to additional tax, interest and/or penalties under Section 409A, then any such benefit that is payable during the first six (6) months following the
Executive’s separation from service shall be paid to Executive in a cash lump sum payment on the first day of the seventh month following Executive’s separation from service. No severance payments or benefits to be paid or provided to
Executive, if any, pursuant to this Agreement that are considered deferred compensation under Section 409A will be paid or provided under Executive has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. Each payment
and benefit payable under this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A” means
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the final regulations and any guidance promulgated thereunder and any applicable state law equivalents (as each may be amended or promulgated from time to time).
