WHEREAS, Executive desires to be employed by the Company on such terms and subject to such conditions.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, promises and obligations set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

1. Duties and Scope of Employment.

(a) Term. Executive’s employment hereunder shall be effective as of February 3, 2016 (the “Effective Date”) and shall continue until the third (3^rd) anniversary thereof, unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement. The period of Executive’s employment under this Agreement is referred to herein as the “Employment Term.”

(b) Position and Duties. During the Employment Term, Executive shall serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and shall report to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). In such position, Executive shall have the duties, authority and responsibility as are determined from time to time by the Board, which duties, authority and responsibility are consistent with the Executive’s position.

(c) Obligations. During the Employment Term, Executive will perform Executive’s duties faithfully and to the best of Executive’s ability. For the duration of the Employment Term, Executive agrees not to actively engage in any other employment, occupation or consulting activity for any direct or indirect remuneration without the prior approval of the Board.

2. At-Will Employment. The parties agree that Executive’s employment with the Company will be “at-will” employment and may be terminated at any time with or without Cause or notice. Executive understands and agrees that neither Executive’s job performance nor promotions, commendations, bonuses or the like from the Company give rise to or in any way serve as the basis for modification, amendment, or extension, by implication or otherwise, of Executive’s employment with the Company. However, as described in this Agreement, Executive may be entitled to severance benefits depending on the circumstances of Executive’s termination of employment with the Company.

3. Compensation.

(a) Base Salary. The Company will initially pay Executive an annual base salary of $72,000 as compensation for Executive’s services. On January 1, 2017, Executive’s annual base salary shall be increased to $225,000. Executive’s annual base salary, as in effect from time to time, is referred to herein as Executive’s “Base Salary”. Executive’s Base Salary will be paid periodically in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices and be subject to required withholdings.

 (b) Restricted Stock. In connection with the execution of this Agreement, the Company will recommend that the Board grant Executive 2,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) at the fair market value per share of the common stock on the date of this agreement and the execution of a restricted stock award agreement (the “Award Agreement”) on the Company’s standard form. Two-thirds (%) of the total number of shares Shares (the “Released Shares”) shall vest (as defined in the Award Agreement) as of the Effective Date (the “Vesting Commencement Date”) and will not be subject to the Company’s repurchase option set forth in the Award Agreement. One-third (A3) of the remaining Shares (the “Unreleased Shares”) shall vest on the first anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date, and an additional one-third (A) of the Unreleased Shares shall vest each year thereafter on the same day and month as the Vesting Commencement Date, subject to Executive’s continuing to provide services to the Company through each such date and the accelerated vesting provisions set forth herein.

(c) Change of Control. In the event that a Change of Control (as defined below) occurs during the Employment Term or during the ninety (90) day period following the effective date of any termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 4(a), then: (i) Executive shall be entitled to receive a lump-sum cash bonus payment (the “Change of Control Bonus”) in an amount equal to the greater of (A) the product of (x) Executive’s Base Salary, as then in effect, and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days remaining in the Employment Term after the effective date of termination and the denominator of which is 365 (less applicable withholdings) and (B) twenty four (24) months of Executive’s Base Salary, as then in effect (less applicable withholdings); and (ii) Executive will be entitled to accelerated vesting with respect to 100% of the Unreleased Shares, subject to Executive’s continuing to provide services to the Company through such date. As used in this Agreement, “Change of Control” means (A) any transaction or series of transactions whereby all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Company are sold, leased, exchanged or transferred, or (B) any person or entity, or group of affiliated persons or entities, becomes, directly or indirectly, the owner of securities of the Company which represent fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power or equity of the Company’s then-outstanding securities. This Section 3(c) shall terminate upon the first occurrence of a Change of Control.

(d) Employee Benefits. During the Employment Term, Executive will be entitled to participate in the employee benefit plans currently and hereafter maintained by the Company of general applicability to members of senior management of the Company. The Company reserves the right to cancel or change the benefit plans and programs it offers to its employees at any time.

(e) Expenses. The Company will reimburse Executive for reasonable travel, entertainment or other expenses incurred by Executive in the furtherance of or in connection with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder, in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policies and procedures, as in effect from time to time. All such expenses incurred by Executive in one calendar year must be reimbursed no later than the last day of the next calendar year. Executive’s right to reimbursement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.

4. Termination. The Employment Term and Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated by either the Company or Executive at any time and for any reason; provided, however, that, unless otherwise provided herein, Executive shall be required to give the Company at least one (1) month prior written notice of any termination of Executive’s employment by Executive. Upon termination of the Executive’s employment during the Employment Term, Executive shall be entitled to the compensation and benefits described in this Section 4 and shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits from the Company or any of its affiliates.

(a) Termination for Reasons other than Cause, Death or Disability or Resignation with Good Reason. If (i) the Company (or any parent or subsidiary or successor of the Company) terminates Executive’s employment with the Company other than for Cause, death or Disability, or (ii) Executive resigns from such employment for Good Reason, then, subject to Section 5, Executive will be entitled to the following:

(i) Severance Benefits. Executive will be entitled to (A) a lump-sum payment of severance pay equal to the greater of (I) the product of (x) Executive’s Base Salary, as then in effect, and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days remaining in the Employment Term after the effective date of termination and the denominator of which is 365 (less applicable withholdings) and (II) twelve (12) months of Executive’s Base Salary, as then in effect (less applicable withholdings); and (B) provided that Executive timely elects continuation coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”) for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents, reimbursement from the Company for the COBRA premiums for such coverage (at the coverage levels in effect immediately prior to her termination) for up to Twenty Four (24) months following the termination date, as long as Executive remains eligible for COBRA; provided, however, that if the Company determines that reimbursed COBRA premiums would be deemed to be discriminatory or to otherwise violate the then-applicable provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, and the guidance and regulations issued thereunder, the Company will in lieu thereof provide to Executive a taxable monthly payment, payable on the last day of a given month, in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that Executive would be required to pay to continue Executive’s group health coverage in effect on the termination of employment date (which amount will be based on the premium for the first month of COBRA coverage), which payments will be made regardless of whether Executive elects COBRA continuation coverage and will commence on the month following Executive’s termination of employment and will end on the earlier of (x) the date upon which Executive obtains other employment or (y) the date the Company has paid an amount equal to twenty four (24) such monthly payments. For the avoidance of doubt, the taxable payments in lieu of COBRA reimbursements may be used for any purpose, including, but not limited to continuation coverage under COBRA, and will be subject to all applicable tax withholding.

(ii) Accelerated Vesting. Executive will be entitled to accelerated vesting with respect to 100% of the Unreleased Shares.

(b) Termination for Cause, Death or Disability; Resignation without Good Reason. If Executive’s employment with the Company (or any parent or subsidiary or successor of the Company) terminates voluntarily by Executive (except upon resignation for Good Reason), for Cause by the Company or due to Executive’s death or disability, then all payments of compensation by the Company to Executive hereunder will terminate immediately (except as to amounts already earned), and Executive will only be eligible for severance benefits in accordance with the Company’s established policies, if any, as then in effect.

(c) Exclusive Remedy. In the event of a termination of Executive’s employment with the Company (or any parent or successor of the Company), the provisions of this Section 4 are intended to be and are exclusive and in lieu of any other rights or remedies to which Executive or the Company may otherwise be entitled, whether at law, tort or contract, in equity, or under this Agreement. Executive will be entitled to no severance or other benefits upon termination of employment other than those benefits expressly set forth in this Section 4.

5. Conditions to Receipt of Severance; No Duty to Mitigate.

(a) Separation Agreement and Release of Claims. The receipt of any severance pursuant to Section 4(a) will be subject to Executive signing and not revoking a separation agreement and release of claims in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Release”) and provided that such Release becomes effective and irrevocable no later than sixty (60) days following the termination date (such deadline, the “Release Deadline”). The Release will be provided to Executive within five (5) days of Executive’s termination of employment and the Release will provide Executive with twenty-one (21) or forty-five (45) days, depending on the circumstances, to consider whether to sign the Release. If the Release does not become effective and irrevocable by the Release Deadline, Executive will forfeit any rights to severance or benefits under this Agreement. In no event will severance payments or benefits be paid or provided until the Release becomes effective and irrevocable.

(b) Nonsolicitation. The receipt of any severance benefits pursuant to Section 4(a) will be subject to Executive not violating the obligations of Executive under Section 14 (Solicitation of Employees). In the event Executive breaches such obligations, all continuing payments and benefits to which Executive may otherwise be entitled pursuant to Section 4(a) will immediately cease.

(c) Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no severance payment will be made pursuant to Section 6(a) prior to Executive’s “separation from service” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). It is intended that the payment described in Section 6(a) qualify for the “short-term deferral” exception to Section 409A of the Code and each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted, to the extent possible, consistent with that intent. Nevertheless, the Company cannot, and does not, guarantee any particular tax effect or treatment of the severance amount due pursuant to Section 6(a) of this Agreement. Except for the Company’s responsibility to withhold applicable income and employment taxes from compensation paid or provided to Executive, the Company will not be responsible for the payment of any applicable taxes on compensation paid or provided to Executive. The Company and Executive agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual payment to Executive under Section 409A of the Code.

(d) Compliance with this Agreement. Executive’s receipt of any payments or benefits under Section 4 will be subject to Executive continuing to comply with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) No Duty to Mitigate. Executive will not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment contemplated by this Agreement, nor will any earnings that Executive may receive from any other source reduce any such payment.

6. Definitions.

(a) Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” is defined as: (i) Executive’s conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony or any crime involving fraud, embezzlement or any other act of moral turpitude; (ii) Executive’s gross misconduct; (iii) Executive’s unauthorized use or disclosure of any proprietary information or trade secrets of the Company or any other party to whom Executive owes an obligation of nondisclosure as a result of Executive’s relationship with the Company;

(iv) Executive’s willful breach of any obligations under any written agreement or covenant with the Company; or (v) Executive’s continued failure to perform Executive’s employment duties after Executive has received a written demand of performance from the Company which specifically sets forth the factual basis for the Company’s belief that Executive has not substantially performed Executive’s duties and has failed to cure such non-performance to the Company’s satisfaction within ten (10) business days after receiving such notice.

(b) Code. For purposes of this Agreement, “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

(c) Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall be deemed to exist if a medical doctor selected by the Company certifies that Executive is unable, despite reasonable accommodation, to perform the essential functions of his current position due to physical or mental illness, injury or other medical condition for a period of not less than six (6) full months in any twelve (12) month period; provided, however, that in the event the Company temporarily replaces Executive, or transfers Executive’s duties or responsibilities to another individual on account of Executive’s inability, despite reasonable accommodation, to perform such functions due to a physical or mental illness, injury or other medical condition that is, or is reasonably expected to become, a Disability, then Executive’s employment shall not be deemed terminated by the Company and Executive shall not be able to resign with Good Reason as a result thereof.

(d) Good Reason. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means Executive’s resignation within thirty (30) days following the expiration of any Company cure period (discussed below) following the occurrence of one or more of the following, without Executive’s express written consent: (i) a material reduction of Executive’s authority, duties, position or responsibilities, or the removal of Executive from such position and responsibilities, either of which results in a material diminution of Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities (other than temporarily while Executive is physically or mentally incapacitated or as required by applicable law); (ii) a material reduction in Executive’s Base Salary other than a general reduction in Base Salary that affects all similarly situated executives in substantially the same proportions; or (iii) a material change in the geographic location of Executive’s primary work facility or location; provided, however, that a relocation of less than forty (40) miles from Executive’s then present location will not be considered a material change in geographic location. Executive will not resign for Good Reason without first providing the Company with written notice of the acts or omissions constituting the grounds for “Good Reason” within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of the grounds for “Good Reason” and a reasonable cure period of not less than thirty (30) days following the date the Company receives such notice during which such condition must not have been cured.

7. Limitation on Payments. None of the payments provided by this Agreement are intended to be contingent upon a change in control event as described in Section 280G of the Code. However, in the unlikely event that the Company concludes, based upon the advice of counsel, that any payment or benefit hereunder or otherwise payable to Executive constitutes a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), and the net after-tax amount of any such parachute payment is less than the net after-tax amount if the aggregate payments and benefits to be made to Executive were three times Executive’s “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code), less $1.00, then the aggregate of the amounts constituting the parachute payments shall be reduced to an amount equal to three times Executive’s base amount, less $1.00, and the following provisions of this Section 7 shall apply :

(a) The For purposes of determining the “net after-tax amount,” the Company will cause to be taken into account all applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes and the excise taxes (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from a deduction of such state and local taxes). If a reduction pursuant to this Section 7 is to occur, Executive will have no rights to any additional payments and/or benefits that are being reduced, and (y) reduction in payments and/or benefits will occur in the following order: (i) reduction of cash payments, if any, which shall occur in reverse chronological order such that the cash payment owed on the latest date following the occurrence of the event triggering such excise tax will be the first cash payment to be reduced; and (ii) reduction of other benefits, if any, paid to Executive, which shall occur in reverse chronological order such that the benefit owed on the latest date following the occurrence of the event triggering such excise tax will be the first benefit to be reduced. Notwithstanding, any excise tax imposed will be solely the responsibility of Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Company submits any payment or benefit otherwise payable to Executive under this Agreement or otherwise to the Company’s stockholders for approval in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1 Q&A 7, the and such payments and benefits will be treated in accordance with the results of such vote, the foregoing provisions shall not apply following such submission and such payments and benefits will be treated in accordance with the results of such vote, except that any reduction in, or waiver of, such payments or benefits required by such vote will be applied without any application of discretion by the Participant and in the order prescribed by this Section 7. In no event shall the Participant have any discretion with respect to the ordering of Executive’s payment reductions.

(b) Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 7 will be made in writing by a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants selected by the Company, the Company’s legal counsel or such other person or entity to which the Parties mutually agree (the “Firm”), whose determination will be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 7, the Firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Executive will furnish to the Firm such information and documents as the Firm may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section. The Company will bear all costs the Firm may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 7.

8. Confidentiality.

(a) Definition of Confidential Information. Executive understands that “Company Confidential Information” means information (including any and all combinations of individual items of information) that the Company has or will develop, acquire, create, compile, discover or own, that has value in or to the Company’s business which is not generally known and which the Company wishes to maintain as confidential. Company Confidential Information includes both information disclosed by the Company to Executive, and information developed or learned by Executive during the course of Executive’s employment with Company. Company Confidential Information also includes all information of which the unauthorized disclosure could be detrimental to the interests of Company, whether or not such information is identified as Company Confidential Information. By example, and without limitation, Company Confidential Information includes any and all non-public information that relates to the actual or anticipated business and/or products, research or development of the Company, or to the Company’s technical data, trade secrets, or know-how, including, but not limited to, research, product plans, or other information regarding the Company’s products or services and markets therefor, customer lists and customers (including, but not limited to, customers of the Company on which Executive called or with which Executive may become acquainted during the Employment Term), software, developments, inventions, discoveries, ideas, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing, finances, and other business information disclosed by the Company either directly or indirectly in writing, orally or by drawings or inspection of premises, parts, equipment, or other Company property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company Confidential Information shall not include any such information which Executive can establish (i) was publicly known or made generally available prior to the time of disclosure by Company to Executive; (ii) becomes publicly known or made generally available after disclosure by Company to me through no wrongful action or omission by Executive; or (iii) is in Executive’s rightful possession, without confidentiality obligations, at the time of disclosure by Company as shown by Executive’s then-contemporaneous written records; provided that any combination of individual items of information shall not be deemed to be within any of the foregoing exceptions merely because one or more of the individual items are within such exception, unless the combination as a whole is within such exception. Executive understands that nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit employees’ rights to discuss the terms, wages, and working conditions of their employment, as protected by applicable law.

(b) Nonuse and Nondisclosure. Executive agrees that during and after Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive will hold in the strictest confidence, and take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure of Company Confidential Information, and Executive will not (i) use the Company Confidential Information for any purpose whatsoever other than for the benefit of the Company in the course of Executive’s employment, or (ii) disclose the Company Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written authorization of the President of the Company. Prior to disclosure when compelled by applicable law; Executive shall provide prior written notice to the President of the Company, as applicable. Executive agrees that Executive obtains no title to any Company Confidential Information, and that as between Company and Executive, the Company retains all Confidential Information as the sole property of the Company. Executive understands that Executive’s unauthorized use or disclosure of Company Confidential Information during Executive’s employment may lead to disciplinary action, up to and including immediate termination and legal action by the Company. Executive understands that Executive’s obligations under this Section 8(b) shall continue after termination of Executive’s employment.

(c) Former Employer Confidential Information. Executive agrees that during Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive will not improperly use, disclose, or induce the Company to use any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former employer or other person or entity with which Executive has an obligation to keep in confidence. Executive further agrees that Executive will not bring onto the Company’s premises or transfer onto the Company’s technology systems any unpublished document, proprietary information, or trade secrets belonging to any such third party unless disclosure to, and use by, the Company has been consented to in writing by such third party.

(d) Third Party Information. Executive recognizes that the Company has received and in the future will receive from third parties associated with the Company, e.g., the Company’s customers, suppliers, licensors, licensees, partners, or collaborators (“Associated Third Parties”), their confidential or proprietary information (“Associated Third Party Confidential Information”) subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such Associated Third Party Confidential Information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. By way of example, Associated Third Party Confidential Information may include the habits or practices of Associated Third Parties, the technology of Associated Third Parties, requirements of Associated Third Parties, and information related to the business conducted between the Company and such Associated Third Parties. Executive agrees at all times during Executive’s employment with the Company and thereafter, that Executive owes the Company and its Associated Third Parties a duty to hold all such Associated Third Party Confidential Information in the strictest confidence, and not to use it or to disclose it to any person, firm, corporation, or other third party except as necessary in carrying out Executive’s work for the Company consistent with the Company’s agreement with such Associated Third Parties. Executive further agrees to comply with any and all Company policies and guidelines that may be adopted from time to time regarding Associated Third Parties and Associated Third Party Confidential Information. Executive understands that Executive’s unauthorized use or disclosure of Associated Third Party Confidential Information or violation of any Company policies during Executive’s employment may lead to disciplinary action, up to and including immediate termination and legal action by the Company.

9. Ownership.

(a) Assignment of Inventions. As between the Company and Executive, Executive agrees that all right, title, and interest in and to any and all copyrightable material, notes, records, drawings, designs, logos, inventions, improvements, developments, discoveries, ideas and trade secrets conceived, discovered, authored, invented, developed or reduced to practice by Executive, solely or in collaboration with others, during the period of time Executive is in the employ of the Company (including during Executive’s off-duty hours), or with the use of Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or Company Confidential Information, and any copyrights, patents, trade secrets, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating to the foregoing (collectively, “Inventions”), are the sole property of the Company.
