accordance with the Company Policies, and (c) evidenced by itemized and documented accounting of such expenditures. 
 5.

Employee. 
 6. Termination. 

(a) Termination for Cause. The Company shall have the right to terminate Employee’s employment for “Cause” (as defined
below) at any time, without prior notice. In the event of termination of Employee’s employment for Cause, all rights of Employee (and Employee’s dependents and legal representatives) under Sections 1, 2 and 3 of this Agreement shall
cease as of the date of such termination. For purposes of this Agreement, termination for “Cause” by the Company is defined as follows: 

(1) Employee is convicted of or pled guilty or nolo contendere to (i) a felony that is likely to impair Employee’s
ability to perform under this Agreement or otherwise have a significant adverse effect upon the Company, any of its affiliates, or any of their businesses or reputations, or (ii) a felony or misdemeanor which results in a term of incarceration
in any correctional institution; 

  
 -2- 

 (2) Employee commits or conspires to commit an act of dishonesty, theft, gross
carelessness, or other misconduct against the Company or any of its affiliates; 
 (3) has engaged in the abuse of alcohol
or any illegal drug or intoxicant, or distributed or conspired to distribute any such substance, or engaged in the abuse of any prescription drug, during working hours or at any facilities of the Company or any of its affiliates; 

(4) has committed or conspired to commit any act or series of acts that constitute unlawful harassment or discrimination based
on an unlawful classification;

(7) has improperly used or disclosed, or conspired to improperly use or disclose, confidential or proprietary information of
the Company or any of its affiliates; 
 (8) has committed any act or omission that constitutes a material breach by
Employee of any of Employee’s obligations or agreements under this Agreement, but only after the Company has provided notice of such breach to Employee and Employee fails or refuses to correct such breach within ten (10) days of such
notice; provided, however, that no prior notice is required for any event set forth in conditions (1) through (7), inclusive, of this Section 6(a); or 

(9) fails to relocate to California on a permanent basis with the intention of establishing residency in California within
twelve (12) months after the effective date hereof. 
 (b) Termination Due to Death or Disability. If Employee, due to physical
or mental disability or incapacity as determined by the Company in its discretion, is unable to perform Employee’s duties under this Agreement, the Company shall have the right to terminate Employee’s employment on thirty
(30) days’ prior written notice. If Employee is able to and recommences rendering services and performing Employee’s duties under this Agreement within such thirty (30)-day notice period, such notice shall be deemed to have been
withdrawn. In addition, in the event of Employee’s death or disability, Employee or Employee’s personal representatives, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive all earned but unpaid compensation through the date of termination on
a pro-rated basis. 

  
 -3- 

 (c) Termination Without Cause. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall
have the right to terminate Employee’s employment without Cause or for any or no reason, at any time, effective immediately upon written notice to Employee. If the Company exercises its rights under this Section 6(c) during the Employment
Period, provided that Employee signs a release and waiver acceptable to the Company and subject to the immediately following sentence, the Company will pay to Employee as severance, an amount equal to the greater of (i) the aggregate annual
base salary and health insurance benefits for the remainder of the term of employment hereunder, or (ii) the Employee’s annual base salary and health insurance benefits. Such severance amount will be paid in equal amounts as per the
Company’s standard payroll schedule over the remainder of the term of this Agreement, provided that Company may discontinue making such payments (and Employee will forfeit further payments) in the event that Employee accepts employment with a
business that results in Employee directly competing with the Company in any of its then-current major markets. Severance payment(s) made under this paragraph 6(c) will not be paid if Employee qualifies for a severance payment under the
Change-in-Control Severance Agreement. Employee shall not be terminated to avoid payment under the Change-in-Control Severance Agreement. 

7. Disclosures and Assignment of Rights. 

(a) Employee hereby agrees promptly to disclose to the Company and Employee hereby, without further compensation, assigns and agrees to assign

processes, manufacturing techniques, trade secrets, customer lists, supplier lists, inventions, research, improvements, ideas, know-how, patents, service marks, and copyrightable works (collectively, “Inventions”), including, without
limitation, all rights to obtain, register, perfect and enforce all Inventions, which relate to Employee’s work for the Company, whether or not during normal working hours, or which are aided by the use of Company time, material, equipment, or
facilities; it being understood, however, that no rights are hereby conveyed in Inventions, if any, made by Employee prior to Employee’s employment with the Company and disclosed pursuant to Section 7(c) of this Agreement. 

(b) Employee agrees to perform, during and after the Employment Period, all acts deemed necessary or desirable by the Company to permit and

in Section 7(a) of this Agreement. 

  
 -4- 

 (c) Except as specifically set forth in the Disclosure of Inventions attached to this Agreement
as Schedule “C” (or if nothing is listed therein), there are no Inventions that Employee wishes to exclude from the operation of Section 7(a) or 7(b) of this Agreement. 

(d) Employee understands, and hereby acknowledges having received notice, that Sections 7(a) and (b) of this Agreement do not apply to an
invention which qualifies fully under the provisions of California Labor Code Section 2780, which is substantially set forth in Schedule “D” attached to this Agreement. 

8. Conflicts of Interest. Employee recognizes that Employee owes a primary and fiduciary duty to the Company and that Employee
shall not have any interest, financial or otherwise, direct or indirect, or engage in any business or transaction of any nature, which is in conflict with the proper and faithful discharge of Employee’s duties and services as an employee of the
Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Employee shall not, while employed by the Company, directly or indirectly: 
 (a)
be employed by or receive any compensation from a customer, supplier or competitor of the Company or any of its affiliates; 
 (b) have any
ownership or financial interest of any nature in a customer, supplier or competitor of the Company or an of its affiliates, except where such ownership is stock in a corporation and consists of less than one percent (1%) of the outstanding

(c) have or participate in any dealings on behalf of the Company with a customer, supplier or competitor of the Company or any of its
affiliates that employs, or more than five percent (5%) of whose ownership interest is beneficially held by, Employee’s spouse or any brother, sister, parent, child or grandchild of Employee or Employee’s spouse, or any person living
in Employee’s household or the spouse of any of the foregoing persons; 
 (d) engage or participate in any activity, business
enterprise, business opportunity, employment, occupation, consulting, or other business activity which the Company shall reasonably determine to be, or reasonably planned to be, in competition with the Company or any of its affiliates, or to
interfere with Employee’s duties as an employee of the Company, EXCEPT THAT, the Company is aware that Employee is directly a part of, and involved with, Trogele Energy and Consultancy, LTD, LLC, and that Employee is an adjunct Professor at the
Berlin School of Economics and Law, and that Employee’s continuing work for, and connection with, both entities will not be considered a violation of this paragraph or this Agreement; or 

  
 -5- 

 (e) solicit, accept or receive any gift having a value of $500.00 or more, whether in the form of
money, service, loan, hospitality (except for ordinary business meals), thing or promise, or in any other form, under circumstances in which it could reasonably be inferred that the gift was intended to influence Employee, in the performance of
Employee’s duties on behalf of the Company or was intended as a reward for any action on Employee’s part on behalf of the Company, unless such fact or activity is first fully disclosed in writing to the Company and the Company first
approves in writing of such fact or activity. 
 (f) The Company agrees that Employee may, upon Board of Director approval, which approval
will not be unreasonably withheld, hold independent, non-conflicting, director positions with other corporations. 
 9. Information of
Others. Employee certifies and acknowledges that Employee will not disclose or utilize in Employee’s work with the Company any secret or confidential information of others (including any prior employers), or any inventions or
innovations of Employee’s own which are not included within the scope of this Agreement. 
 10. Confidential Information.
The Company and/or one or more of its affiliates may, from time to time, provide Employee with confidential information, proprietary information, or trade secrets regarding the Company and/or one or more of its affiliates, including, without
limitation, information regarding business methods, plan, products, pricing, customer lists, and other confidential customer information, including, but not limited to, contact names, purchasing authority(ies), product, know-how and/or customer
service requirements, buying patterns and other proprietary information (collectively, “Confidential Information”). Except in furtherance of the Company’s business and without the Company’s prior written consent, Employee shall
not, directly or indirectly, disclose, use, communicate, appropriate, or exploit any Confidential Information during the Employment Period and thereafter. 

11. intentionally omitted 
 12.
Non-Raiding. Employee will not, either during the Employment Period or for a period of one (1) year thereafter, either directly or indirectly, hire, solicit, induce or attempt to induce or encourage any of the Company’
employees, agents, or contractors to cease or significantly reduce providing services to the Company. Employee represents and warrants that Employee’s experience and abilities are such that compliance with the covenants contained in this
Section 12 will not cause any undue hardship or unreasonable restriction on Employee’s ability to earn a livelihood. 
 13.
Return of Property. Employee agrees that upon request by the Company, and in any event upon termination of employment, Employee shall turn over to the Company all Confidential Information, Inventions, documents, notes, papers, and
other material in whatever media relating to the Company in Employee’s possession or control, together with all material, documents, notes, pagers, and other work product in whatever media which is connected with or derived from Employee’s
services to the Company. 

  
 -6- 

 14. Remedies. Employee recognizes and acknowledges that a breach of any provision
under Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 and/or 13 of this Agreement could not reasonably be compensated in damages in an action at law and that the Company and/or any of its affiliates shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief obtainable in a court of
competent jurisdiction, which may include, but shall not be limited to, restraining Employee from rendering any service which would breach this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no remedy conferred by any of the specific provisions of this
Agreement, including, without limitation, this Section 14, is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other remedy given under this Agreement now or hereafter existing
at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise. The election of any one or more remedies by the Company and/or any of its affiliates shall not constitute a waiver of the right to pursue other available remedies. These obligations shall survive the
termination of Employee’s employment. 
 15. Arbitration. Except as provided in this Section 15, any and all claims
between Employee and the Company, any of its affiliates and/or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents that arise out of Employee’s employment, including, without limitation, disputes involving the terms of this
Agreement, Employee’s employment by the Company or the termination thereof, claims for breach of contract or breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and any claims of discrimination or other claims under Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, or any other federal, state or local law or regulation now in existence or hereinafter enacted and as
amended from time to time concerning in any way the subject of Employee’s employment with the Company or Employee’s termination, shall be resolved through final and binding arbitration. The only claims not covered by this
Section 15 are claims for equitable relief for violation of any provision under Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 and/or 13 of this Agreement and claims for benefits under the workers’ compensation or unemployment insurance laws, which will be
resolved pursuant to those laws. Notices of requests to arbitrate a covered claim must be made within the applicable statute of limitations. Binding arbitration will be conducted in Orange County, California in accordance with the rules and
regulations of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Discovery may be carried out under the supervision of the arbitrator appointed pursuant to the rules of the AAA. Employee will be responsible for paying the same fee to initiate
the arbitration that Employee would pay to file a civil lawsuit. The Company will pay any remaining cost of the arbitration filing and hearing fees, including the cost of the arbitrator; each side will bear its own attorneys’ fees, that is, the
arbitrator will not have authority to award attorneys’ fees unless a statutory section at issue in the dispute authorizes the award of attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party, in which case the arbitrator has authority to make such award
as permitted by the statute in question.

 16. Miscellaneous. 

(a) Survival. Sections 1, 2 and 3 of this Agreement, inclusive, shall terminate upon termination of Employee’s employment with the
Company, and all other provisions of this Agreement shall survive such termination and be enforceable in accordance with their terms. 
 (b)
Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that an action or proceeding is brought to enforce any provision under Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 and/or 13 of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’
fees and costs from the non-prevailing party. 
 (c) Waiver of Breach. The waiver by the Company or Employee of any breach of any
provision herein shall not be binding upon the Company or Employee unless in writing, and shall not constitute a continuing waiver or a waiver of any subsequent breach. 

(d) Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the parties’ rights and obligations hereunder may be assigned by a party without
the prior written consent of the other party hereto; provided, however, that the Company may assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to (i) an affiliate of the Company, or (ii) a surviving entity in connection
with a merger or consolidation involving the Company or a purchase or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, so long as such surviving entity assumes the Company’s obligations under this Agreement. 

(e) Entire Agreement; Oral Statement Not Binding. This Agreement taken together with the offer letter dated as of the date hereof and
the letter regarding relocation reimbursement contains the entire agreement of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and may not be waived, changed, modified, extended or discharged orally, but only by agreement specifically referencing
this Agreement that is signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver, change, modification, extension or discharge is sought. Employee acknowledges that the Company is not bound by any oral or other unauthorized statements or
promises regarding salary, benefits, length of employment or any other conditions of Employee’s employment. All previous agreements or arrangements between the Company and Employee are hereby terminated. Each party acknowledges and agrees that
no representations, inducements, promises or agreements, orally or otherwise, have been made by either party, or anyone acting on behalf of either party, that are not expressly set forth in this Agreement, and that no other agreement, statement or
promise shall be valid or binding unless modified or amended pursuant to this Section 16(e). This Agreement may not be modified or amended unless in writing and signed by both Employee and the Company, acting through its Chief Executive Officer

circumstance should be adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator, as the case may be, to be void or unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity of that provision shall in no way affect (to the maximum extent permissible by law)
the application of such provision under circumstances different from those adjudicated by the court or arbitrator, the application of any other provision of this Agreement, or the enforceability or invalidity of this Agreement as a whole. Should any
provision of this Agreement become or be deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction by reason of the scope, extent or duration of its coverage, then such provision shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to
applicable law so as to be valid and enforceable or, if such provision cannot be so amended without materially altering the intention of the parties, then such provision will be stricken and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full
force and effect. 
 (g) Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of
the State of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of
California.

 Individual target bonus
percentage is determined by Organization Level. 
 Eligible Earnings 

Eligible earnings include payments made during the year of regular earnings excluding payments for overtime, bonuses and other special or incentive payments.

 Annual Bonus Pool Determination 
 Bonus pool
funding is dependent upon reaching Revenue growth and EBITDA targets set by management. A minimum threshold must be achieved by the Company before any bonus will be paid. During the first quarter of the following year, a Company Achievement Factor
is determined based upon performance results provided by the Finance group. Adjustments to achievement may be made to neutralize the impact of any mergers, acquisitions and unexpected activities. 

Any evaluation of the attainment of the performance goals may include or exclude any of the following events that occur during the performance year: any
reorganization or restructuring transactions; extraordinary nonrecurring items; and significant acquisitions or divestitures. 
 The Company Achievement
Factor is based on the Company’s performance, and is weighted 60% on Revenue growth and 40% on EBITDA performance. EBITDA and Revenue minimum performance threshold is set at 90%. The plan can pay out if one target is hit but not the other.
Achievement of 100% EBITDA and 100% revenue performance will equate to 100% funding of the bonus pool. 
  
 

 
 Example: 92.3% Achievement g 70.7% Payout Factor 

 Calculation Guidelines 

In addition to the corporate goals set by management, the bonus calculation is dependent upon individual performance as determined by direct manager. 

 

 Target bonus payment is the product of eligible earnings * target % * Company Achievement Factor. Actual bonus
payment is determined by management and will be adjusted based on individual performance.
