Form of Director and Executive Officer Indemnification Agreement

 Exhibit 10.1 

CORSAIR MEMORY, INC. 

INDEMNITY AGREEMENT 

This Indemnity Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of
                    , 2010, is made by and between Corsair Memory, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and
                      , a director and/or officer of the Company (the “Indemnitee”). 

RECITALS 
 A.
         The Company is aware that competent and experienced persons are increasingly reluctant to serve as directors or officers of corporations unless they are protected by comprehensive liability
insurance and/or indemnification, due to increased exposure to litigation costs and risks resulting from their service to such corporations, and due to the fact that the exposure frequently bears no reasonable relationship to the compensation of
such directors and officers; 
 B.          Based upon their experience as business
managers, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has concluded that, to retain and attract talented and experienced individuals to serve as officers and directors of the Company, and to encourage such individuals to
take the business risks necessary for the success of the Company, it is necessary for the Company contractually to indemnify officers and directors and to assume for itself maximum liability for expenses and damages in connection with claims against
such officers and directors in connection with their service to the Company; 

C.          Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, under which the
Company is organized (“Section 145”), empowers the Company to indemnify by agreement its officers, directors, employees and agents, and persons who serve, at the request of the Company, as directors, officers, employees or agents of
other corporations or enterprises, and expressly provides that the indemnification provided by Section 145 is not exclusive; and 

D.          The Company desires and has requested the Indemnitee to serve or continue to
serve as a director or officer of the Company free from undue concern for claims for damages arising out of or related to such services to the Company. 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 

1.          DEFINITIONS. 

1.1        Agent. For the purposes of this Agreement, “agent” of the Company means
any person who is or was a director or officer of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company; or is or was serving at the request of, for the convenience of, or to represent the Indemnity Agreement interest of the Company or a subsidiary of the
Company as a director or officer of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or an affiliate of the Company; or was a director or officer of a foreign or domestic corporation which was a
predecessor corporation of the Company, including, without limitation, Corsair Memory, Inc., a California corporation, or was a director or officer of another enterprise or affiliate of the 

 

 1 

 
Company at the request of, for the convenience of, or to represent the interests of such predecessor corporation. The term “enterprise” includes any employee benefit plan of the
Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates and predecessor corporations. 
 1.2       
Expenses. For purposes of this Agreement, “expenses” includes all direct and indirect costs of any type or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees and related disbursements and other out-of-pocket
costs) actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense or appeal of a proceeding or establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Agreement,
Section 145 or otherwise; provided, however, that expenses shall not include any judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties or amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding. 

1.3        Proceeding. For the purposes of this Agreement, “proceeding” means any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or any other type whatsoever. 

1.4        Subsidiary. For purposes of this Agreement, “subsidiary” means any
corporation of which more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities is owned directly or indirectly by the Company, by the Company and one or more of its subsidiaries or by one or more of the Company’s subsidiaries. 

2.          AGREEMENT TO SERVE. 

The Indemnitee agrees to serve and/or continue to serve as an agent of the Company, at the will of the Company (or under separate
agreement, if such agreement exists), in the capacity the Indemnitee currently serves as an agent of the Company, faithfully and to the best of his or her ability, so long as he or she is duly appointed or elected and qualified in accordance with
the applicable provisions of the charter documents of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company; provided, however, that the Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from such position (subject to any contractual obligation
that the Indemnitee may have assumed apart from this Agreement), and the Company or any subsidiary shall have no obligation under this Agreement to continue the Indemnitee in any such position. 

3.          DIRECTORS’ AND OFFICERS’ INSURANCE. 

The Company shall, to the extent that the Board determines it to be economically reasonable, maintain a policy of directors’ and
officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”), on such terms and conditions as may be approved by the Board. 

4.          MANDATORY INDEMNIFICATION. 

Subject to Section 9 below, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee: 

4.1        Third Party Actions. If the Indemnitee is a person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an agent of the Company, or by reason of anything done or not done by him or her in any such
capacity, against any and all expenses and liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA excise 

 

 2 

 
taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such proceeding if he or
she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful; and 
 4.2        Derivative Actions. If the Indemnitee is a person who was
or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an agent of the Company, or by reason of anything done or not
done by him or her in any such capacity, against any amounts paid in settlement of any such proceeding and all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such
proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company; except that no indemnification under this subsection shall be made in respect of any claim,
issue or matter as to which such person shall have been finally adjudged to be liable to the Company by a court of competent jurisdiction due to willful misconduct of a culpable nature in the performance of his or her duty to the Company, unless and
only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such amounts which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper; and 

4.3        Exception for Amounts Covered by Insurance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee for expenses or liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) to the extent such have
been paid directly to the Indemnitee by D&O Insurance. 
 5.         
PARTIAL INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION. 
 5.1        Partial
Indemnification. If the Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of any expenses or liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines,
ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) incurred by him or her in the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of a proceeding but is not entitled, however, to indemnification for all of the total amount thereof, then the
Company shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for such total amount except as to the portion thereof to which the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification. 

5.2        Contribution. If the Indemnitee is not entitled to the indemnification provided in
Section 4 for any reason other than the statutory limitations set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, then in respect of any threatened, pending or completed proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with the
Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such proceeding), the Company shall contribute to the amount of expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by
the Indemnitee in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the 
  

 3 

 
Company on the one hand and the Indemnitee on the other hand from the transaction from which such proceeding arose and (ii) the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the
Indemnitee on the other hand in connection with the events which resulted in such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the
Indemnitee on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in such expenses, judgments,
fines or settlement amounts. The Company agrees that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5 were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of
the foregoing equitable considerations. 
 6.          MANDATORY ADVANCEMENT OF
EXPENSES. 
 6.1        Advancement. Subject to Section 9 below, the
Company shall advance all expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of any proceeding to which the Indemnitee is a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that the
Indemnitee is or was an agent of the Company or by reason of anything done or not done by him or her in any such capacity. The Indemnitee hereby undertakes to promptly repay such amounts advanced only if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately
be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company under the provisions of this Agreement, the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, the General Corporation Law of Delaware or otherwise. The advances
to be made hereunder shall be paid by the Company to the Indemnitee within 30 days following delivery of a written request therefor by the Indemnitee to the Company. 

6.2        Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6,
the Company shall not be obligated to advance any expenses to the Indemnitee arising from a lawsuit filed directly by the Company against the Indemnitee if an absolute majority of the members of the Board reasonably determines in good faith, within
30 days of the Indemnitee’s request to be advanced expenses, that the facts known to them at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that the Indemnitee acted in bad faith. If such a determination is made, the
Indemnitee may have such decision reviewed by another forum, in the manner set forth in Sections 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5 hereof, with all references therein to “indemnification” being deemed to refer to “advancement of
expenses,” and the burden of proof shall be on the Company to demonstrate clearly and convincingly that, based on the facts known at the time, the Indemnitee acted in bad faith. The Company may not avail itself of this Section 6.2 as to
a given lawsuit if, at any time after the occurrence of the activities or omissions that are the primary focus of the lawsuit, the Company has undergone a change in control. For this purpose, a change in control shall mean a given person or group of
affiliated persons or groups increasing their beneficial ownership interest in the Company by at least 20% without advance Board approval. 

7.          NOTICE AND OTHER INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES. 

7.1        Promptly after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of or the threat of
commencement of any proceeding, the Indemnitee shall, if the Indemnitee believes that 
  

 4 

 
indemnification with respect thereto may be sought from the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement or threat of commencement thereof. 

7.2        If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of the commencement of a proceeding pursuant to
Section 7.1 hereof, the Company has D&O Insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The
Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such D&O Insurance policies.

 7.3        In the event the Company shall be obligated to advance the expenses for any
proceeding against the Indemnitee, the Company, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such proceeding, with counsel approved by the Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), upon the delivery to the
Indemnitee of written notice of its election to do so. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by the Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to the Indemnitee under this Agreement
for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee with respect to the same proceeding, provided that: (a) the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his or her own counsel in any such proceeding at the Indemnitee’s
expense; (b) the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his or her own counsel in connection with any such proceeding, at the expense of the Company, if such counsel serves in a review, observer, advice and counseling capacity and does not
otherwise materially control or participate in the defense of such proceeding; and (c) if (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (ii) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense or (iii) the Company shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such proceeding, then the fees
and expenses of the Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Company. 

8.          DETERMINATION OF RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION. 

8.1        To the extent the Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of
any proceeding referred to in Section 4.1 or 4.2 of this Agreement or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter described therein, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by
him or her in connection with the investigation, defense or appeal of such proceeding, or such claim, issue or matter, as the case may be. 

8.2        In the event that Section 8.1 is inapplicable, or does not apply to the entire
proceeding, the Company shall nonetheless indemnify the Indemnitee unless the Company shall prove by clear and convincing evidence to a forum listed in Section 8.3 below that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct
required to entitle the Indemnitee to such indemnification. 
 8.3        The Indemnitee
shall be entitled to select the forum in which the validity of the Company’s claim under Section 8.2 hereof that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification 

 

 5 

 
will be heard from among the following, except that the Indemnitee can select a forum consisting of the stockholders of the Company only with the approval of the Company: 

(a)      A quorum of the Board consisting of directors who are not parties to the proceeding for which
indemnification is being sought; 
 (b)      The stockholders of the Company; 

(c)      Legal counsel mutually agreed upon by the Indemnitee and the Board, which counsel shall make such
determination in a written opinion; 
 (d)      A panel of three arbitrators, one of whom is
selected by the Company, another of whom is selected by the Indemnitee and the last of whom is selected by the first two arbitrators so selected; or 

(e)      The Court of Chancery of Delaware or other court having jurisdiction of subject matter and the
parties. 
 8.4      As soon as practicable, and in no event later than 30 days after the forum
has been selected pursuant to Section 8.3 above, the Company shall, at its own expense, submit to the selected forum its claim that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, and the Company shall act in the utmost good faith to
assure the Indemnitee a complete opportunity to defend against such claim. 
 8.5      If the
forum selected in accordance with Section 8.3 hereof is not a court, then after the final decision of such forum is rendered, the Company or the Indemnitee shall have the right to apply to the Court of Chancery of Delaware, the court in
which the proceeding giving rise to the Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification is or was pending or any other court of competent jurisdiction, for the purpose of appealing the decision of such forum, provided that such right is executed within
60 days after the final decision of such forum is rendered. If the forum selected in accordance with Section 8.3 hereof is a court, then the rights of the Company or the Indemnitee to appeal any decision of such court shall be governed
by the applicable laws and rules governing appeals of the decision of such court. 

8.6      Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall indemnify
the Indemnitee against all expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any hearing or proceeding under this Section 8 involving the Indemnitee and against all expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any other
proceeding between the Company and the Indemnitee involving the interpretation or enforcement of the rights of the Indemnitee under this Agreement unless a court of competent jurisdiction finds that each of the material claims and/or defenses of the
Indemnitee in any such proceeding was frivolous or not made in good faith. 

9.        EXCEPTIONS. 

Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement:

  

 6 

 9.1       Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. To
indemnify or advance expenses to the Indemnitee with respect to proceedings or claims initiated or brought voluntarily by the Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except with respect to proceedings specifically authorized by the Board or brought to
establish or enforce a right to indemnification and/or advancement of expenses arising under this Agreement, the charter documents of the Company or any subsidiary or any statute or law or otherwise, but such indemnification or advancement of
expenses may be provided by the Company in specific cases if the Board finds it to be appropriate; or 

9.2       Unauthorized Settlements. To indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder for any amounts paid
in settlement of a proceeding unless the Company consents in advance in writing to such settlement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; or 

9.3       Securities Law Actions. To indemnify the Indemnitee on account of any suit in which
judgment is rendered against the Indemnitee for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by the Indemnitee of securities of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section l6(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and
amendments thereto, successor provisions or similar provisions of any federal, state or local statutory law; or 

9.4       Unlawful Indemnification. To indemnify the Indemnitee if a final decision by a court
having jurisdiction in the matter shall determine that such indemnification is not lawful. In this respect, the Company and the Indemnitee have been advised that the Securities and Exchange Commission takes the position that indemnification for
liabilities arising under the federal securities laws is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable and that claims for indemnification should be submitted to appropriate courts for adjudication. 

10.       NON-EXCLUSIVITY. 

The provisions for indemnification and advancement of expenses set forth in this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights which the Indemnitee may have under any provision of law, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, the vote of the Company’s stockholders or disinterested directors, other agreements or otherwise, both as to action in
the Indemnitee’s official capacity and to action in another capacity while occupying his or her position as an agent of the Company, and the Indemnitee’s rights hereunder shall continue after the Indemnitee has ceased acting as an agent of
the Company and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of the Indemnitee. 

11.       GENERAL PROVISIONS.

any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any 

 

 7 

 
way be affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, all portions of any paragraphs of this Agreement
containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable and to give effect to Section 11.1 hereof. 

11.3       Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement
shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such
waiver constitute a continuing waiver. 
 11.4       Subrogation. In the event of full
payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee, who shall execute all documents required and shall do all acts that may be necessary or desirable to
secure such rights and to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

date. Addresses for notice to either party are as shown on the signature page of this Agreement or as subsequently modified by written notice. 

11.8       Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed exclusively by and construed
according to the laws of the State of Delaware, as applied to contracts between Delaware residents entered into and to be performed entirely within Delaware. 

11.9       Consent to Jurisdiction. The Company and the Indemnitee each hereby irrevocably
consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding which arises out of or relates to this Agreement. 

 

 8 

 11.10     Attorneys’ Fees. In the event Indemnitee is
required to bring any action to enforce rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the expenses of any Proceeding described in Section 3), the Indemnitee shall be entitled to all reasonable fees and expenses in bringing
and pursuing such action, unless a court of competent jurisdiction finds each of the material claims of the Indemnitee in any such action was frivolous and not made in good faith.

which the Involuntary Termination occurs. The severance payments shall be subject to the Company’s collection of all applicable withholding taxes, and the Executive will only be paid the amount remaining after such withholding taxes have been
collected. The severance payments shall be made on the sixtieth day
(60th) following the Executive’s Separation from
Service provided the Release is effective following any applicable revocation. 

(b)      Health Care Coverage. Continued health care coverage under the Company’s
medical plan, without charge, for the Executive and the Executive’s eligible dependents upon the Executive’s election to receive such continued health care coverage under Code Section 4980B (“COBRA”). Such Company-paid
coverage shall continue 
  

 3 

 
until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the two (2)-year period measured from the first day of the calendar month following the calendar month in which the Executive’s Involuntary
Termination occurs or (ii) the first date on which the Executive and the Executive’s eligible dependents are covered under another employer’s health benefit program without exclusion for any pre-existing medical condition. Any
additional health care coverage to which the Executive and the Executive’s dependents may be entitled under COBRA following the period of such Company-paid coverage shall be at the Executive’s sole cost and expense. 

3.      Equity Awards. All of the Executive’s outstanding equity compensation awards
will fully vest upon an Involuntary Termination. 
 PART THREE - LIMITATION ON BENEFITS 

4.      Benefit Limit. The benefit limitations of this Part Three shall be applicable in the
event the Executive receives any benefits under this Agreement which are deemed to constitute parachute payments under Code Section 280G. 

In the event that any payments to which the Executive becomes entitled in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, when
aggregated with any other payments or benefits received by the Executive, would otherwise constitute a parachute payment under Code Section 280G, then such payments will be subject to reduction to the extent necessary to ensure that the
Executive receives only the greater of (i) the amount of those payments which would not constitute such a parachute payment or (ii) the amount which yields the Executive the greatest after-tax amount of benefits after taking into account
any excise tax imposed on the payments provided to the Executive under this Agreement (or on any other benefits to which the Executive may be entitled in connection with any change in control or ownership of the Company or the subsequent termination
of the Executive’s employment with the Company) under Code Section 4999. Any determinations as to such reduction shall be made by the Company. 

Should a reduction in benefits be required to satisfy the benefit limit of this Paragraph 4, then the cash severance payments shall
accordingly be reduced to the extent necessary to comply with such benefit limit. To the extent further reductions are necessary to comply with such benefit limit, then the equity compensation awards held by the Executive shall not accelerate
pursuant to Paragraph 3 of Part Two. 
 5.      Delayed Commencement of
Benefits. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the cash payment to which the Executive otherwise becomes entitled under Part Two of this Agreement shall not be made to the Executive prior to the
earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service with the Company or (ii) the date of the Executive’s death, if the Executive is deemed at
the time of such Separation from Service to be a “key employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 416(i) and such delayed commencement is otherwise required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Code
Section 409A(a)(2). Upon the expiration of 
  

 4 

 
the applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2) deferral period, the payment deferred pursuant to this Paragraph 5 shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum. 

PART FOUR -MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 

6.      Other Termination. Upon the termination of the Executive’s employment for
any reason, the Company shall pay the Executive (i) any unpaid base salary earned for services rendered through the date of such termination, (ii) the value of any accrued but unpaid vacation benefits or sick days, and (iii) any bonus
amount actually earned and vested at time of such termination but not previously paid to the Executive. 

7.      Cessation of Benefits. In the event of a material breach by the Executive of any of
the Executive’s obligations under the Executive’s Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement with the Company, the Executive shall cease to be entitled to any further benefits under Part Two of this Agreement, including (without
limitation) any severance payment or continued health care coverage at the Company’s expense. In no event shall the Executive be entitled to any benefits under Part Two of this Agreement if the Executive’s employment ceases by reason of a
Termination for Cause or if the Executive voluntarily resigns other than for Good Reason. 

8.      Successors and Assigns. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform on this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company
would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, (i) the Company and its successors and assigns, including any successor entity by
merger, consolidation or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (whether or not such transaction constitutes a Change in Control), and (ii) the Executive, the personal representative of the Executive’s estate and
the Executive’s heirs and legatees. 
 9.      General Creditor Status. The
benefits to which the Executive may become entitled under Part Two of this Agreement shall be paid, when due, from the Company’s general assets, and no trust fund, escrow arrangement or other segregated account shall be established as a funding
vehicle for such payments. Accordingly, the Executive’s right (or the right of the executors or administrators of the Executive’s estate) to receive such benefits shall at all times be that of a general creditor of the Company and shall
have no priority over the claims of other general creditors. 
 10.    Governing Documents.
This Agreement, together with (i) the agreements evidencing the Executive’s currently outstanding equity compensation awards and any future equity compensation grants, (ii) the Executive’s Proprietary Information and Inventions
Agreement, and (iii) any outstanding promissory notes of the Executive payable to or to the order of the Company, shall constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the Company and the Executive with respect to the payment of severance
benefits to the Executive and shall supersede 
  

 5 

 
all prior and contemporaneous written or verbal agreements and understandings between the Executive and the Company relating to such subject matter. This Agreement may only be amended by a
written instrument signed by the Executive and an authorized officer of the Company. Any and all prior agreements, understandings or representations relating to the Executive’s severance benefits, other than (i) the agreements evidencing
the Executive’s currently outstanding equity compensation awards, (ii) the Executive’s Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement and (iii) the Executive’s outstanding promissory notes payable to or to the order of the
Company, are hereby terminated and cancelled in their entirety and are of no further force or effect. 

11.      Governing Law. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted
under the laws of the State of California applicable to agreements executed and wholly performed within the State of California. If any provision of this Agreement as applied to any party or to any circumstance should be adjudged by a court of
competent jurisdiction 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, 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. 

12.      Arbitration. 

  A.      Each party agrees that any and all disputes which arise out of or relate to the
termination of the Executive’s employment or the terms of this Agreement shall be resolved through final and binding arbitration. Such arbitration shall be in lieu of any trial before a judge and/or jury, and the Executive and Company expressly
waive all rights to have such disputes resolved through trial before a judge and/or jury. Such disputes shall include, without limitation, claims for breach of contract or of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, claims of discrimination,
claims under any 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 the Executive’s employment with the Company or its termination. The only
claims not covered by this Agreement to arbitrate disputes are: (i) claims for benefits under the unemployment insurance benefits; (ii) claims for workers’ compensation benefits under any of the Company’s workers’
compensation insurance policy or fund; and (iii) claims concerning the validity, infringement, ownership, or enforceability of any trade secret, patent right, copyright, trademark or any other intellectual property right, and any claim pursuant
to or under any existing confidential/proprietary/trade secrets information and inventions agreement(s) such as, but not limited to, the Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement. With respect to such disputes, they shall not be subject to
arbitration; rather, they will be resolved pursuant to applicable law. 
  

 6 

   B.      Arbitration shall be held in Santa Clara
County, California and conducted in accordance with the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA Rules”), provided, however, that the arbitrator shall allow the discovery authorized by California Code of Civil
Procedure section 1282, et seq., or any other discovery required by applicable law in arbitration proceedings, including, but not limited to, discovery available under the applicable state and/or federal arbitration statutes. Also, to the extent
that any of the AAA Rules or anything in this arbitration section conflicts with any arbitration procedures required by applicable law, the arbitration procedures required by applicable law shall govern. 

  C.      During the course of the arbitration, the Company will pay the arbitrator’s fee
and any other type of expense or cost that the Executive would not otherwise be required to bear if he were free to bring the dispute or claim in court and any other expense or cost that is unique to arbitration. If the Executive prevails in any
contest or dispute arising under this Agreement involving a termination of Executive’s employment with the Company or involving the failure or refusal of the Company to perform fully in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company shall
reimburse Executive for reasonable legal fees and related expenses, if any, incurred by Executive in connection with such contest or dispute. 

  D.      The arbitrator shall issue a written award that sets forth the essential findings of
fact and conclusions of law on which the award is based. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award any relief authorized by law in connection with the asserted claims or disputes. The arbitrator’s award shall be subject to correction,
confirmation, or vacation, as provided by applicable law setting forth the standard of judicial review of arbitration awards. Judgment upon the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. 

13.      Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in more than one counterpart, each of
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

 EXHIBIT A 

FORM OF GENERAL RELEASE 

 RELEASE AND WAIVER OF CLAIMS 

In consideration of the severance payments and other benefits to which I have become entitled, pursuant to that certain
letter agreement between Corsair Memory, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and myself dated                     ,
20     (the “Severance Agreement”), in connection with the termination of my employment, I,
                                         
       , hereby furnish the Company with the following release and waiver (“Release and Waiver”). 

I hereby release and forever discharge the Company, its officers, directors, agents, employees, stockholders, successors,
assigns and affiliates from any and all claims, liabilities, demands, causes of action, costs, expenses, attorney fees, damages, indemnities and obligations of every kind and nature, in law, equity or otherwise, known and unknown, suspected and
unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising from or relating to my employment with the Company and the termination of that employment, including (without limitation) claims of wrongful discharge, emotional distress, defamation, fraud, breach of
contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, discrimination claims based on sex, age, race, national origin, disability or any other basis under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the California Fair
Employment and Housing Act, the Federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (“ADEA”), the Americans with Disability Act, contract claims, tort claims, and wage or benefit claims, including but not limited to, claims
for salary, bonuses, commissions, stock grants, stock options, vacation pay, fringe benefits, severance pay or any other form of compensation (other than the severance payments and benefits to which I am, pursuant to the express provisions of the
Severance Agreement, entitled in connection with my termination of employment, my vested rights under the Company’s Section 401(k) Plan and any worker’s compensation benefits under any Company workers’ compensation insurance
policy or fund). 
 In releasing claims unknown to me at present, I am waiving all rights and benefits under
Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, and any law or legal principle of similar effect in any jurisdiction: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time
of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” 

This Release and Waiver does not pertain to any claims which may subsequently arise in connection with the Company’s
default in any severance payment obligations under the Severance Agreement. 
 I acknowledge that, among other
rights subject to this Release and Waiver, I am hereby waiving and releasing any rights I may have under ADEA, that this release and waiver is knowing and voluntary, and that the consideration given for this release and waiver is in addition to
anything of value to which I was already entitled as an executive of the Company. I further acknowledge that I have been advised, as required by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, that: (a) the release and waiver granted herein

 
does not relate to claims which may arise after this release and waiver is executed; (b) I have the right to consult with an attorney prior to executing this release and waiver (although I
may choose voluntarily not to do so); and if I am over 40 years old upon execution of this; (c) I have twenty-one (21) days from the date of termination of my employment with the Company in which to consider this release and waiver
(although I may choose voluntarily to execute this release and waiver earlier); (d) I have seven (7) days following the execution of this release and waiver to revoke my consent to this release and waiver; and (e) this release and
waiver shall not be effective until the seven (7)-day revocation period has expired.
