Form of Restricted Stock Award Agreement

 Exhibit 10.9 
 MAX RE CAPITAL LTD. 
 RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT 
 This Restricted Stock Award Agreement (the “Agreement”), made as of the
             day of              , 2     (the “Grant Date”) by
and between Max Re Capital Ltd., (the “Company”), and              (the “Grantee”), evidences the grant by the Company of a
stock award of restricted Common Stock (the “Award”) to the Grantee on such date and the Grantee’s acceptance of the Award in accordance with the provisions of the Company’s 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended,
(the “Plan”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Company and the Grantee agree as follows: 
  

	1.	Basis for Award. This Award is made under the Plan pursuant to Section 8 thereof for services to be rendered to the Company by the Grantee.

  

	2.	Stock Awarded. 

  

	 	(a)	The Company hereby awards to the Grantee, in the aggregate,              shares of Common Stock of the
Company (“Restricted Stock”), which shall be subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth in the Plan and in this Agreement. 

  

	 	(b)	Each certificate issued in respect of the Restricted Stock shall remain in book form with the Company’s transfer agent in the Grantee’s name. At the expiration of the
restrictions, the Company shall deliver to the Grantee (or his/her legal representative, beneficiary or heir) share certificates for the Common Stock deposited with it free from legend except as otherwise provided by the Plan, this Agreement or as
otherwise required by applicable law. The Grantee shall have the right to receive dividends on and to vote the Restricted Stock while it is held in custody except as otherwise provided by the Plan. 

  

	 	(c)	Except as provided in the Plan or this Agreement, the restrictions on the Restricted Stock are that they will be forfeited by the Grantee and all of the Grantee’s rights to
such stock shall immediately terminate without any payment or consideration by the Company, in the event of any sale, assignment, transfer, hypothecation, pledge or other alienation of such Restricted Stock made or attempted, whether voluntary or
involuntary, and if involuntary whether by process of law in any civil or criminal suit, action or proceeding, whether in the nature of an insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise, without the written consent of the Board, excluding the
Grantee, if he/she so serves on the Board. 

  

	3.	Vesting. 

  

	 	(a)	 The restrictions described in Section 2 of this Agreement will lapse with respect to all of the Restricted Stock and such shares of Common Stock will become

  

 1 

	 	 
nonforfeitable on              ; provided, that, except as otherwise
provided herein, the Grantee is then employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. If the Grantee’s employment is terminated at any time prior to the vesting date, the unvested Restricted Stock shall automatically be forfeited upon such
cessation of service, unless otherwise provided in Section 3(b). 

  

	 	(b)	In the event of the Grantee’s death or Retirement, or if the Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Disability (as defined below)
[or without Cause (as defined in the Plan), by the Grantee for Good Reason (as defined below), or upon the Company’s failure to renew the Grantee’s work permit in Bermuda,] a pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock shall vest as of the
date of such termination, and all other unvested Restricted Stock shall immediately terminate and be forfeited. The pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock that vests shall be calculated by multiplying the number of shares of Restricted Stock by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall equal the number of consecutive days the Grantee is employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to the date of termination, and the denominator of which shall equal
             (rounded to the nearest whole number). 

 For
purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean termination upon 30 days’ notice in the event that the Grantee suffers a mental or physical disability that shall have prevented him/her from performing his/her material duties for a
period of at least 120 consecutive days or 180 non-consecutive days within any 365 day period; provided, that, the Grantee shall not have returned to full-time performance of his/her duties within 30 days following receipt of such
notice. The Grantee shall have “Good Reason” to terminate his/her employment within 30 days after the Grantee has knowledge of the occurrence, without the Grantee’s written consent, of one of the following events that has not been
cured, if curable, within 30 days after a notice of termination has been given by the Grantee to the Company or its Subsidiary, as applicable: (i) any material and adverse change to the Grantee’s duties or authority which are inconsistent
with his/her title and position, (ii) a material diminution of the Grantee’s title or position; (iii) a reduction of the Grantee’s base salary; or (iv) any other reason which the Company determines in its sole discretion to
be a Good Reason; provided, however, that if termination for “Good Reason” is defined in an employee’s employment agreement, the definition in the employment agreement shall apply for purposes of this
Section 3 with respect to such employee. 
  

	 	(c)	Change in Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), all Restricted Stock shall automatically become vested and immediately nonforfeitable
in full. 

  

	4.	Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The issuance and transfer of Common Stock shall be subject to compliance by the Company and the Grantee with all applicable
requirements of securities laws and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock may be listed at the time of such issuance or transfer. 

  

 2 

	5.	No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed by implication or otherwise to impose any limitation on any right of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries to terminate the Grantee’s employment at any time. 

  

	6.	Restrictive Legends. The Grantee understands and agrees that the Company will place the legends set forth below or similar legends on any stock certificate(s)
evidencing the Restricted Stock, together with any other legends that may be required by state or U.S. Federal securities laws, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, any other agreement between the Grantee and the Company or any
agreement between the Grantee and any third party: 

 THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN
RESTRICTIONS ON PUBLIC RESALE AND TRANSFER, AS SET FORTH IN A RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES. SUCH PUBLIC SALE AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS ARE BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.

  

	7.	Representations and Warranties of the Grantee. The Grantee represents and warrants to the Company that: 

  

	 	(a)	Agrees to Terms of the Plan. The Grantee has received a copy of the Plan and has read and understands the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, and
agrees to be bound by their terms and conditions. The Grantee acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon the vesting of Restricted Stock or disposition of the shares of Common Stock once vested, and that the Grantee should consult
a tax adviser prior to such time. 

  

	 	(b)	Stop-Transfer Instructions. The Grantee agrees that, to ensure compliance with the restrictions imposed by this Agreement, the Company may issue appropriate
“stop-transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records. 

  

	 	(c)	Refusal to Transfer. The Company will not be required (i) to transfer on its books any shares of Common Stock that have been sold or otherwise transferred in
violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such shares, or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such shares have been so transferred.

	

	8.	Governing Law; Modification. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state of New York without regard to the conflict of law principles. The Agreement may
not be modified except in writing signed by both parties. 

	 	

	9.	 Plan. Except as otherwise provided herein, or unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, capitalized terms herein which are defined in the Plan
have the same 

  

 3 

	 	 
definitions as provided in the Plan. The terms and provisions of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference, and the Grantee hereby acknowledges receiving
a copy of the Plan. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the discretionary terms and provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Agreement, the Plan shall govern and control. 

  

	10.	Interpretation. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement shall be submitted by the Grantee or the Company to the Committee for review. The resolution
of such a dispute by the Committee shall be binding on the Company and the Grantee. 

  

	 11.
	 [Tax Withholding. The Grantee agrees that, except as provided below, no later than the date as of which
the restrictions on the Restricted Stock shall lapse with respect to all or any of the Restricted Stock covered by this Agreement, the Grantee shall pay to the Company (in cash) any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be
withheld, if any, with respect to the Restricted Stock for which the restrictions shall lapse. The Company or its Subsidiary (as applicable) shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due
to the Grantee any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock. If the Grantee properly elects, within 30 days of the Grant Date, to include in gross income for federal
income tax purposes an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Restricted Stock granted hereunder pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Grantee shall pay to the Company, or make other arrangements
satisfactory to the Board to pay to the Company in the year of such grant, any federal, state or local taxes required to be withheld with respect to such Common Stock. If the Grantee fails to make such payments, the Company or its Subsidiaries
shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Grantee any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such Common Stock.]1 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have signed this Agreement as of the date first above written.

PERFORMANCE; NONCOMPETITION. 
 3.1 Loyalty. During the Executive’s employment with the Company,
the Executive shall devote the Executive’s full business energies, interest, abilities and productive time to the proper and efficient performance of the Executive’s duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that Executive may
devote a reasonable amount of time and energies for personal investment and civic and charitable duties. 
 3.2 Agreement Not to
Participate in Company’s Competitors. Except with the prior written consent of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), the Executive shall not, during the Executive’s employment with the Company and

outstanding shares of capital stock of any corporation with one or more classes of its capital stock listed on a national securities exchange or publicly traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market or in the over-the-counter market shall not constitute a
breach of this paragraph. 
 4. COMPENSATION OF THE EXECUTIVE. 

4.1 Base Salary. The Company shall pay the Executive a base salary of Seven Hundred Fifty Five Thousand Dollars ($755,000) per year, payable in
regular periodic payments in accordance with Company policy. Such base salary shall be prorated for any partial year of employment on the basis of a 365-day fiscal year. 
 4.2 Bonus. In addition to the Executive’s base salary, the Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual bonus (the “Bonus”). The Bonus (if any) will be awarded based on the

 2. 

 4.5 Benefits. The Executive shall, in accordance with Company policy and the terms of the
applicable plan documents, be eligible to participate in benefits under any benefit plan or arrangement which may be in effect from time to time and made available to the Company’s employees. In addition, the Executive shall be eligible for

 5.1.3 Termination by the Company For Any Reason Other Than Cause. The
Executive’s employment by the Company shall be “at will.” The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment under this Agreement at any time, for any or no reason and with or without cause or advance notice. This is the full
and complete agreement between the Executive and the Company on this term. Although the Executive’s duties, title, compensation and benefits may change, the “at will” nature of the Executive’s employment relationship with the
Company may only be modified in an express written agreement signed by the Executive and the Board. 
 5.2 Termination by Mutual Agreement
of the Parties. The Executive’s employment pursuant to this Agreement may be terminated at any time upon the mutual written agreement of the Parties. Any such termination of employment shall have the consequences specified in such writing.

 5.3 Termination by the Executive. The Executive’s employment by the Company shall be “at will.” The Executive shall
have the right to resign or terminate the Executive’s employment at any time, with or without cause, notice or Good Reason. 
 5.4
Compensation Upon Termination. 
 5.4.1 Termination Not in Connection With a Change in Control. If the Executive’s
employment is terminated (either by the Company, by the Executive, or due to the Executive’s death or Complete Disability), then the Company shall pay the Executive’s base salary and any accrued and unused vacation benefits earned through
the date of termination, and the Company shall thereafter have no further obligations to the Executive under this Agreement, except as expressly provided herein. 
  

 3. 

 5.4.2 Termination in Connection With a Change in Control. If within four (4) months
before or twelve (12) months following a Change in Control (as defined below), the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause or the Executive resigns for Good Reason, then the Company shall pay the Executive’s base
salary and any accrued and unused vacation benefits earned through the date of termination. In addition, the Company shall provide the Executive with the following severance benefits: 
 5.4.2.1 The Company shall continue to pay the Executive’s base salary until the end of the period following the termination of the
Executive’s employment equal to 2.99 years (the “Severance Period”). Such severance payments shall be subject to standard deductions and withholdings and paid in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll
policies and practices. For purposes of calculating the amount to be paid pursuant this Section 4.4.2.1, the Company shall use the greater of (x) the Executive’s base compensation in effect on the date of termination and (y) the
Executive’s base compensation immediately prior to the Change in Control. 
 5.4.2.2 Each
month during the Severance Period, the Company shall pay the Executive an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the greatest of (i) the average of the three (3) annual bonuses paid to the Executive by the Company prior to the date of termination, (ii) the last annual bonus paid to the Executive by the Company prior to
the date of termination, (iii) the average of the three (3) annual bonuses paid to the Executive by the Company prior to the date of the Change in Control, and (iv) the last annual bonus paid to the Executive by the Company prior to
the date of the Change in Control. Such payment shall be subject to standard deductions and withholdings and paid in equal monthly installments over the Severance Period in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll policies and practices.

 5.4.2.3 All Company equity awards held by Executive shall vest immediately and, during the Severance Period, Executive shall have
continued exercisability of all Company stock options held by the Executive (if any). 
 5.4.2.4 Assuming the Executive timely and
accurately elects to continue his health insurance benefits under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), the Company shall reimburse him for the COBRA expenses he pays on behalf of himself and
his family until the earliest of (i) the end of the Severance Period, (ii) the expiration of the Executive’s continuation coverage under COBRA and any applicable state COBRA-like statute that provides mandated continuation coverage or
(iii) the date the Executive becomes eligible for health insurance benefits of a subsequent employer. 
 5.4.2.5 To the extent
required by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any payments otherwise due under this section within the six- (6-) month period following Executive’s termination shall be
delayed to the minimum extent necessary (e.g., payments to which Executive would otherwise be entitled during the first six months following separation from service shall accumulate and be paid at the expiration of such period, unless a
permitted distribution event occurs during such period) so that such benefits are not subject to the provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code. The Board may attach conditions to or adjust the amounts paid pursuant to Section 4 to
preserve, as closely 

  

 4. 

 
as possible, the economic consequences that would have applied in the absence of this Section 5.4.2.5; provided, however, that no such condition
or adjustment shall result in the payments being subject to Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code. 
 5.4.3 Release. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Executive shall not receive any of the severance payments or benefits set forth under Section 4.4.2 unless upon Executive’s termination of employment the Executive furnishes the Company with an effective waiver and
release of claims (the “Release”) in a form acceptable to the Parties and substantially as attached hereto as Exhibit A. If a majority of the Board determines in good faith that the Executive has breached
any provision of his Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement or any provision of this Agreement or the Release, the Company shall be excused from the obligation to provide any severance payment under Section 4.4.2 and the
Company shall be entitled to full recovery of any severance payment already provided to the Executive under Section 4.4.2. 
 5.5
Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings: 
 5.5.1 Complete Disability.
“Complete Disability” shall mean the inability of the Executive to perform the Executive’s duties under this Agreement because the Executive has become permanently disabled within the meaning of any policy of disability income
insurance covering employees of the Company then in force. In the event the Company has no policy of disability income insurance covering employees of the Company in force when the Executive becomes disabled, the term “Complete
Disability” shall mean the inability of the Executive to perform the Executive’s duties under this Agreement by reason of any incapacity, physical or mental, which the Board, based upon medical advice or an opinion provided by a
licensed physician acceptable to the Board, determines to have incapacitated the Executive from satisfactorily performing all of the Executive’s usual services for the Company for a period of at least one hundred twenty (120) days during
any twelve (12) month period (whether or not consecutive). Based upon such medical advice or opinion, the determination of the Board shall be final and binding and the date such determination is made shall be the date of such Complete
Disability for purposes of this Agreement. 
 5.5.2 Cause. “Cause” for the Company to terminate Executive’s
employment hereunder shall mean the occurrence of one or more of the following events if such event results in a demonstrably harmful impact on the Company’s business or reputation, or that of any of its subsidiaries, as reasonably determined
by the Board: 
 (i) Executive’s conviction of, or plea of guilty or no contest to, any felony or any crime involving fraud,
dishonesty or moral turpitude under the laws of the United States or any state thereof; 
 (ii) Executive’s commission of (or
attempted commission of), or participation in, a fraud or act of dishonesty against the Company; 
  

 5. 

 (iii) Executive’s material violation of any statutory duty owed to the Company or material
violation of any policy or rule of the Company; 
 (iv) Executive’s unauthorized use or disclosure of the Company’s
confidential information or trade secrets; 
 (v) Executive’s gross misconduct; or 
 (vi) Executive’s conduct that constitutes gross insubordination or habitual neglect of duties that is not cured within the reasonable period
provided by the Board or a committee designated by the Board in its written notice to Executive of such conduct. 
 The determination that a termination is
for Cause shall be made by the Board in good faith. Any determination that the Executive’s employment was terminated by reason of dismissal without Cause for the purposes of this Agreement shall have no effect upon any determination of the
rights or obligations of the Company or the Executive for any other purpose. 
 5.5.3 Good Reason. “Good Reason”
means, with respect to the Executive, the occurrence of one or more of the following, without the Executive’s express written consent and for which the Executive has given the Company express written notice within thirty (30) days
following such occurrence: 
 (i) a material breach of the employment agreement by the Company; 
 (ii) a significant reduction in the Executive’s duties, position, authority or responsibilities relative to the duties, position, authority
or responsibilities in effect immediately prior to such reduction (it being expressly understood that a change in the executive’s reporting responsibility so that he does not report directly or solely to the Company’s Board will constitute
“Good Reason”); 
 (iii) a reduction in the Executive’s base salary, bonus or other cash incentive compensation
opportunity as in effect immediately prior to such reduction for any reason other than in connection with, and proportionate to, a company-wide pay reduction; 
 (iv) a substantial reduction in Executive’s long-term non-cash incentive opportunities (the value of which is measured as of the date of grant using a reasonable valuation methodology consistently
applied), provided that the grant of a stock award covering the same number of shares as a similar stock award granted in the immediately preceding year shall not be deemed to be a substantial reduction of the Executive’s long-term incentive
opportunities; 
 (v) the failure of the Company to timely pay Executive any portion of Executive’s compensation then due to
Executive or the failure to pay or reimburse Executive for any business expenses incurred by Executive in accordance with Company policy in a reasonably timely manner; 
  

 6. 

 (vi) a material reduction in Executive’s benefits for any reason other than in connection
with any change to the Company’s benefit programs applicable to all Company employees generally made; and 
 (vii) a relocation
of Executive’s principal workplace by more than fifty (50) miles. 
 “Good Reason” shall also exist if the Executive resigns his
employment with the Company for any or no reason within ninety (90) days following a Change in Control (as defined below). 
 5.5.4
Change in Control. “Change in Control” shall mean a transaction (excluding in each case transactions in which securities are purchased from the Company for the principal purpose of raising capital for the Company) in which one
of the following occurs: 
 (i) any person or related group of persons (other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company)
directly acquires beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of securities possessing more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the total combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding
securities; 
 (ii) the composition of the Board changes over a period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months or less in a way
that results in a majority of the Board (rounded up to the next whole number) ceasing, by reason of one or more proxy contests for the election of Board members, to be comprised of individuals who either (A) have been Board members continuously
since the beginning of the period or (B) have been elected or nominated for election as Board members during the period by at least two-thirds of the Board members described in clause (A) who were still in office at the time the election
or nomination was approved by the Board; 
 (iii) (A) a merger or consolidation occurs in which the Company is not the surviving
entity, or (B) any reverse merger occurs in which the Company is the surviving entity, or (C) any merger involving a subsidiary of the Company occurs in which the Company is a surviving entity, but in each case in which holders of the
Company’s outstanding voting securities immediately prior to such transaction, as such, do not hold, immediately following such transaction, securities possessing fifty percent (50%) or more of the total combined voting power of the
surviving entity’s outstanding securities (in the case of clause (A)) or the Company’s outstanding voting securities (in the case of clauses (B) and (C)); or 
 (iv) all or substantially all of the Company’s assets are sold of transferred other than in connection with an internal reorganization of
the Company or the Company’s complete liquidation (other than a liquidation of the Company into a wholly-owned subsidiary). 
  

 7. 

 5.6 Parachute Payments. If any payment or benefit the Executive would receive from the Company
pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (“Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”), and (ii) be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the Executive will receive an additional payment (the
“Gross-up”) from the Company such that after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, the Excise Tax and all applicable taxes on the Gross-up (all computed at
the highest applicable marginal rate), results in the Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the full amount of the Payment. 
 The Company shall appoint a nationally recognized independent accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder, which accounting firm shall not then be serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group that
effected the Change in Control. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made hereunder. 
 The accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to the Company and the Executive within fifteen (15) calendar days
after the date on which the Executive’s right to a Payment is triggered (if requested at that time by the Company or the Executive) or such other time as requested by the Company or the Executive. The accounting firm shall furnish the Company
and the Executive with an opinion reasonably acceptable to the Executive with respect to the application of the Excise Tax to such Payment. The Company shall be entitled to rely upon the accounting firm’s determinations, which shall be final
and binding on all persons. 
 5.7 Exclusive Remedy. The rights, remedies and payments set forth in this Section 4 shall
be the exclusive rights, remedies and payments available to the Executive upon termination of this Agreement and the Executive’s employment hereunder. Such rights remedies and payments shall supersede and replace any and all rights and remedies
under state or federal law. The Company may deduct any amounts the Executive owes the Company at the time of the Executive’s termination of employment from any severance payments. 
 5.8 Survival of Certain Sections. Sections 3.2, 4.4, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8 and 6—17 of this Agreement shall survive the termination
of this Agreement. 
 6. CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION;
NONSOLICITATION. 
 6.1 Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement. As a condition of employment, the
Executive agrees to execute and abide by the Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B. 
 6.2 Non-Solicitation. During the Executive’s employment with the Company and any Severance Period, and for one (1) year after the termination of such periods, the Executive agrees that in order to protect the
confidential and proprietary information of the Company and its subsidiaries from unauthorized use, the Executive shall not, either directly or through others, solicit or attempt to solicit (i) any employee, consultant or independent contractor

  

 8. 

 
of the Company or its subsidiaries to terminate his or her relationship with the Company (or the applicable subsidiary) in order to become an employee,
consultant or independent contractor to or for any other person or business entity, or (ii) the business of any customer, supplier, service provider, vendor or distributor of the Company or a subsidiary which, at the time of termination or one
(1) year immediately prior thereto, was doing business with the Company or one of its subsidiaries or listed on the customer, supplier, service provider, vendor or distributor list of the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries. 

7. ASSIGNMENT AND BINDING EFFECT. 
 This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Executive and the Executive’s heirs, executors, personal representatives,
assigns, administrators and legal representatives. Because of the unique and personal nature of the Executive’s duties under this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations under this Agreement shall be assignable by the
Executive. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors, assigns and legal representatives.

 Except as may otherwise be provided herein, this Agreement, including Exhibit A and Exhibit B, contains the complete, final and exclusive agreement of the Parties relating to the terms and conditions of the Executive’s
employment and the termination of Executive’s employment, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous oral and written employment agreements or arrangements between the Parties. To the extent this Agreement conflicts with the Proprietary

 9. 

 12. SEVERABILITY. 
 The finding by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authorized body of the unenforceability, invalidity or illegality of any provision of this
Agreement shall not render any other provision of this Agreement unenforceable, invalid or illegal. The invalid or unenforceable term or provision shall be modified or replaced with a valid and enforceable term or provision which most accurately
represents the Parties’ intention with respect to the invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

INTERPRETATION; CONSTRUCTION. 
 The headings set forth in this Agreement are for convenience of reference
only and shall not be used in interpreting this Agreement. The Executive has been encouraged to consult with, and has consulted with, Executive’s own independent counsel and tax advisors with respect to the terms of this Agreement. The Parties
acknowledge that each Party and its counsel has reviewed and revised, or had an opportunity to review and revise, this Agreement, and any rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not
be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement. 
 14. REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES. 
 The Executive represents and warrants that the Executive is not restricted or prohibited, contractually or

Executive and any other person or entity. 
 15. COUNTERPARTS. 
 This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. 
 16. ARBITRATION. 
 To ensure the rapid and economical resolution of disputes that may arise in connection with the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive and the Company agree that any and all disputes, claims, or
causes of action, in law or equity, arising from or relating to Executive’s employment, or the termination of that employment, will be resolved, to the fullest extent permitted by law, by final binding arbitration in San Diego, California
conducted by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), or its successors, under the then current rules of JAMS for employment disputes; provided that the arbitrator shall: (a) have the
authority to compel adequate discovery for the resolution of the dispute and to award such relief as would otherwise be permitted by law and (b) issue a written arbitration decision including the arbitrator’s essential findings and
conclusions and a statement of the award. Both the Executive and the Company shall be entitled to all rights and remedies that either the Executive or the Company would be entitled to pursue in a court of law. The Company shall pay all fees in
excess of those which would be required if the dispute was decided in a court of law. 

  

 10. 

 
Nothing in this Agreement is intended to prevent either the Executive or the Company from obtaining injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm
pending the conclusion of any such arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive and the Company each have the right to resolve any and all issues or disputes involving confidential information, proprietary information, trade secrets or
related information or intellectual property rights by court action instead of arbitration. 
 17. TRADE
SECRETS OF OTHERS. 
 It is the understanding of both the Company and the Executive that the
Executive shall not divulge to the Company and/or its subsidiaries any confidential information or trade secrets belonging to others, including the Executive’s former employers, nor shall the Company and/or its subsidiaries seek to elicit from
the Executive any such information. Consistent with the foregoing, the Executive shall not provide to the Company and/or its subsidiaries, and the Company and/or its subsidiaries shall not request, any documents or copies of documents containing
such information.
