Thereafter, the Employment Term shall extend automatically for consecutive periods of one year unless either party provides notice of non-renewal not less than ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Employment Term as then in effect.

2.Employment. During the Employment Term:

Prior to joining or agreeing to serve on corporate, civil or charitable boards or committees, Executive shall obtain approval of the Chief Executive Officer. Executive may manage personal and family investments, participate in industry organizations and deliver lectures at educational institutions, so long as such activities do not interfere with the performance of Executive’s responsibilities hereunder. It is understood that, during Executive’s

employment by the Company, Executive shall not engage in any activities that constitute a conflict of interest with the interests of the Company or its direct and indirect subsidiaries, as outlined in the Company’s conflict of interest policies for employees and executives in effect from time to time.

This Section 2(c) shall survive the termination of the Employment Term.

(d)Subject to Sections 7, 8 and 9 hereof, Executive’s employment with the Company is “at will,” such that each of Executive or the Company has the option to terminate Executive’s employment at any time, with or without advance notice, and with or without Cause or with or without Good Reason.

Such written agreement must be signed by both Executive and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

3.Annual Compensation.

(a)Base Salary. During the Employment Term, Executive shall be paid an annual base salary of $700,000 (“Base Salary”).

Annual bonuses, if any, will be payable in the Company’s discretion and in accordance with the Company’s

customary practices applicable to bonuses paid to similarly situated executives of the Company.

Such suspension may remain effective until such time as the indictment is either dismissed or a verdict of not guilty has been entered. If such indictment does not result in a conviction, as soon as practicable following such dismissal or verdict, the Company shall pay Executive the base salary and target bonus amount that Executive would have received for the period during which Executive was suspended without pay (with interest from the date such amounts would otherwise have been paid at the short-term applicable federal rate, compounded semi-annually, as determined under Section 1274 of the Code for the month in which payment would have been made but for the delay) and Executive will receive vesting credit for purposes of Executive’s outstanding equity awards.

8.Notice of Termination. Any purported termination by the Company or by Executive shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which indicates a date of termination (the “Termination Date”), the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated.

(2)The Company shall pay to Executive (or Executive’s beneficiaries, as applicable) within sixty (60) days following the Termination Date, any bonus earned but unpaid in respect of any fiscal year preceding the Termination Date; and

Any bonus or incentive award payable to Executive under this clause (3) shall be paid in a lump sum payment by March 15 of the year following the fiscal year in which Executive’s Termination Date occurs;

(4)The Company shall pay Executive as severance pay, in lieu of any further compensation (except as provided in this Section 9(c)) for the periods subsequent to the Termination Date, an amount in cash, which amount shall be payable in a lump sum payment within sixty (60) days following such termination (subject to Section 10 hereof), equal to one (1) times (or, if such termination occurs either (x) on or before December 31, 2023, one and a half (1-1/2) times) or (y) in contemplation of a Change in Control or within twelve

months following a Change in Control, two (2) times) the sum of Executive’s Base Salary and Target Bonus, in each case, as in effect immediately prior to termination and without regard to any reduction thereto which constitutes Good Reason;

(5)Each unvested equity award held by Executive at the time of termination shall be governed by the terms of the applicable award agreement; and

(6)The Company shall provide Executive with continued coverage through the first anniversary of the Termination Date under any health, medical, dental or vision program or policy in which Executive (and Executive’s dependents, as applicable) participated in as of the time of the Termination Date on terms no less favorable to Executive and Executive’s dependents than those applicable to actively employed senior executives of the Company; provided, however, that Executive shall be solely responsible for any taxes incurred in respect of such coverage; and provided, further, that the Company may modify the continuation coverage contemplated by this Section 9(c)(6) (including by providing a lump-sum cash payment equal to the value for Executive of the continuation coverage provided herein) to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid the imposition of any excise taxes on the Company for failure to comply with the nondiscrimination requirements of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as amended, and/or the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, as amended (to the extent applicable).

(d)Expiration of Employment Term Upon Notice of Non-Renewal. If Executive’s employment terminates upon expiration of the Employment Term as then in effect following timely provision by either party of notice of non-renewal in accordance with Section 1 hereof, then, subject to Section 17(e) hereof:

(1)If such notice is submitted by Executive, the Company shall pay to Executive (a) any Accrued Compensation; and (b) each unvested equity award held by Executive at the time of termination shall be governed by the terms of the applicable award agreement.

(e)Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for under this Section 9 by seeking other employment or otherwise and no such payment shall be offset or reduced by the amount

of any compensation or benefits provided to Executive in any subsequent employment.

10.Section 409A. The parties intend for the payments and benefits under this Agreement to be exempt from Section 409A or, if not so exempt, to be paid or provided in a manner which complies with the requirements of such section, and intend that this Agreement shall be construed and administered in accordance with such intention. If any payments or benefits due to Executive hereunder would cause the application of an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, such payments or benefits shall be restructured in a mutually agreed upon manner that to the extent possible preserves the economic benefit and original intent thereof but does not cause such an accelerated or additional tax. For purposes of the limitations on nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A, each payment of compensation under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment of compensation. Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following Executive’s separation from service shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six months following Executive’s Termination Date (or death, if earlier). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all (A) reimbursements and (B) in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, including, where applicable, the requirement that (x) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in kind benefits provided, during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year; (y) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made no later than the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred; and (z) the right to reimbursement or in kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

11.Employee Protection. Nothing in this Agreement or otherwise limits Executive’s ability to communicate directly with and provide information, including documents, not otherwise protected from disclosure by any applicable law or privilege to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (“Government Agency”) regarding possible legal violations, without disclosure to the Company. The Company may not retaliate against Executive for any of these activities, and nothing in this Agreement or otherwise requires Executive to waive any monetary award or other payment that Executive might become entitled to from the SEC or any other Government Agency.

12.Records and Confidential Data.

(a)Ownership; Recognition of Company’s Rights. Executive acknowledges that in connection with the performance of Executive’s duties during the Employment Term, the Company will make available to Executive, or Executive will have access to, certain Confidential Information (as defined below) of the Company and its affiliates. Executive acknowledges and

agrees that any and all Confidential Information disclosed to, or learned or obtained by, Executive during the course of Executive’s employment by the Company or any of its affiliates or otherwise, whether developed by Executive alone or in conjunction with others or otherwise, shall be and is the sole and exclusive property of the Company or the affiliate of the Company, as applicable, that is Executive’s employer (the “Employer”). No license or other right to any Confidential Information is granted to Executive under this Agreement.

Executive may, however, disclose Confidential Information to the extent it is in response to a valid order of a court or other governmental authority or to otherwise comply with applicable law; provided that, subject to Section 12(e), Executive shall first give notice to the Employer and reasonably cooperate with the Employer to obtain a protective order or other measures preserving the confidential treatment of such Confidential Information and requiring that the information or documents so disclosed be used only for the purposes for which the order was issued or is otherwise required by applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 12(b) shall prevent Executive from exercising any legally protected whistleblower rights (including under Rule 21F under the Exchange Act) as set forth in Section 11.

(c)Disposition of Confidential Information. Following the termination of Executive’s employment or upon the Company’s request, Executive will return to the Company all copies of any and all Confidential Information in Executive’s custody, possession or control (including all copies of any analyses, compilations, studies or other documents prepared by Executive or for Executive’s use containing or reflecting any Confidential Information). Alternatively, with the Company’s prior written consent, Executive may destroy such Confidential Information. Within five (5) business days of the termination of Executive’s employment or such

request by the Company, Executive shall deliver to the Company a document certifying that such written Confidential Information has been returned or destroyed in accordance with this Section 12(c).

(d)Confidential Information. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean any and all non-public, proprietary or other confidential information of the Company or its affiliates disclosed to Executive, to which Executive has access, or of which Executive otherwise becomes aware, in each case whether in oral, written, graphic or machine readable form, including, without limitation, (A) know-how, trade secrets, inventions, discoveries, concepts, information, works, materials, processes, methods, data, software, programs, apparatus, designs and the like, and any other intellectual property the value of which is contingent upon maintaining the confidentiality thereof, (B) information regarding the business of the Company or its affiliates, including its products, services, budgets, contracts, reports, investigations, experiments, research, work in progress, drawings, designs, plans, proposals, codes, marketing and sales programs, client lists, client mailing lists, supplier lists, financial projections, cost summaries, pricing formulae, marketing studies relating to prospective business opportunities, and all other concepts, ideas, materials, or information prepared or performed for or by the Company or its affiliates, (C) information regarding the skills and compensation of the employees, contractors, and any other service providers of the Company or its affiliates, (D) the existence of any business discussions, negotiations, or agreements between the Company or its affiliates and any third party, (E) all documents and other work product generated by you which contain, comment upon, or relate in any way to any information disclosed by the Company or its affiliates, (F) all third-party information held in confidence by the Company or its affiliates, and (G) the terms and conditions of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the Confidential Information shall not include, and Executive’s obligation shall not extend to (A) information which is generally available to the public and (B) information obtained by Executive other than pursuant to or in connection with Executive’s employment

(e)Defend Trade Secrets Act. Pursuant to Section 7 of the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (which added 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b)), the Company and Executive acknowledge and agree that Executive shall not have criminal or civil liability under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (A) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made

under seal. In addition and without limiting the preceding sentence, if Executive files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, Executive may disclose the trade secret to Executive’s attorney and may use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if Executive (X) files any document containing the trade secret under seal and (Y) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by such Section.

(f)Executive’s obligations under this Section 12 shall survive the termination of the Employment Term.

13.Covenant Not to Solicit and Not to Compete; Non-Disparagement.

For purposes of this covenant, “solicit” or “solicitation” means directly or indirectly influencing or attempting to influence employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to become employed with any other person, partnership, firm, corporation or other entity.

In addition, to protect the Confidential Information, Company Intellectual Property and other trade secrets of the Company and its affiliates, Executive agrees, during the Employment Term and the Restricted Period, not to (x) solicit any client or customer to receive services or to purchase any good or services in competition with those provided by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (y) interfere or attempt to interfere in any material respect with the relationship between the Company or any of its subsidiaries on one hand and any client, customer, supplier, investor, financing source or capital market intermediary on the other hand. For purposes of this covenant, “solicit” or “solicitation” means directly or indirectly influencing or attempting to influence clients or customers of the Company or any of its affiliates to accept the services or goods of any other person, partnership, firm, corporation or other entity in competition with those provided by the Company or any of its affiliates.

Executive agrees that the covenants contained in this Section 13(a) are reasonable and desirable to protect the Confidential Information and

Company Intellectual Property of the Company and its affiliates; provided that solicitation through general advertising or the provision of references shall not constitute a breach of such obligations.

(b)Covenant Not to Compete. To protect the Confidential Information, Company Intellectual Property and other trade secrets of the Company and its affiliates, Executive agrees, during the Employment Term and the Restricted Period, not to engage in Prohibited Activities (as defined below) in any country in which the Company or any of its affiliates conducts business, or plans to conduct business, during the Employment Term. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Prohibited Activities” means directly or indirectly engaging as an owner, employee, partner, member, consultant or agent of any entity that derives more than 10% of its consolidated revenue from the development, manufacturing, marketing and/or distribution (directly or indirectly) of branded or generic prescription or non-prescription pharmaceuticals or medical devices for treatments in the fields of neurology, dermatology, gastroenterology, ophthalmology or dentistry; provided that Prohibited Activities shall not mean Executive’s investment in securities of a publicly-traded company equal to less than five (5%) percent of such company’s outstanding voting securities; and provided, further, that, for the avoidance of doubt, Executive complies with the obligations set forth in Sections 12, 13(a) and 13(c) hereof. Executive agrees that the covenants contained in this Section 13(b) are reasonable and desirable to protect the Confidential Information and Company Intellectual Property of the Company and its affiliates.

(c)Non-Disparagement.

The Company shall instruct its directors and executive officers to not make written or oral statements about Executive that are negative or disparaging. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement or otherwise shall preclude Executive, the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and the Company’s directors and executive officers from communicating or testifying truthfully to the extent required by law to any federal, state, provincial or local governmental agency or in response to a subpoena to testify issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(d)It is the intent and desire of Executive and the Company that the restrictive provisions of this Section 13 be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies as applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If any particular provision of this Section 13 shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such covenant shall be

amended, without any action on the part of either party hereto, to delete there from the portion so determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such deletion to apply only with respect to the operation of such covenant in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.

(e)Executive’s obligations under this Section 13 shall survive the termination of the Employment Term.

14.Remedies for Breach of Obligations under Sections 12 or 13 hereof. Executive acknowledges that the Company will suffer irreparable injury, not readily susceptible of valuation in monetary damages, if Executive breaches Executive’s obligations under Sections 12 or 13 hereof. Accordingly, Executive agrees that the Company will be entitled, in addition to any other available remedies, to obtain injunctive relief against any breach or prospective breach by Executive of Executive’s obligations under Sections 12 or 13 hereof. Executive agrees that process in any or all of those actions or proceedings may be served by registered mail, addressed to the last address provided by Executive to the Company, or in any other manner authorized by law. This Section 14 shall survive the termination of the Employment Term.

15.Cooperation.

(a)Following Executive’s termination of employment for any reason, except as provided in Section 11 hereof, Executive agrees to make himself reasonably available to cooperate with the Company and its affiliates in matters that materially concern: (i) requests for information about the services Executive provided to the Company and its affiliates during Executive’s employment with the Company and its affiliates, (ii) the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Company and its affiliates which relate to events or occurrences that transpired while Executive was employed the Company and its affiliates and as to which Executive has, or would reasonably be expected to have, personal experience, knowledge or information or (iii) any investigation or review by any federal, state or local regulatory, quasi-regulatory or self-governing authority (including, without limitation, the US Department of Justice, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission or the SEC) as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while Executive was employed by the Company and its affiliates. Executive’s cooperation shall include: (A) making himself reasonably available to meet and speak with officers or employees of the Company, the Company’s counsel or any third-parties at the request of the Company at times and locations to be determined by the Company reasonably and in good faith, taking into account the Company’s business and Executive’s business and personal needs (the “Company Cooperation”) and (B) giving accurate and truthful information at any interviews and accurate and truthful testimony in any legal proceedings or actions (the “Witness Cooperation”). Nothing in this

Section 15(a) shall be construed to limit in any way any rights Executive may have at applicable law not to provide testimony with regard to specific matters. Unless required by law or legal process, Executive will not knowingly or intentionally furnish information to or cooperate with any non-governmental entity (other than the Company) in connection with any potential or pending proceeding or legal action involving matters arising during Executive’s employment with the Company and its affiliates, except as provided in Section 11. In addition, at the request of the Company, Executive shall be required to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire to facilitate the Company’s preparation and filing of its proxy statement and periodic reports with the SEC.

(b)Executive shall not be entitled to any payments in addition to those otherwise set forth in this Agreement in respect of any Company Cooperation or Witness Cooperation, regardless of when provided. The Company will reimburse Executive for any reasonable, out-of-pocket travel, hotel and meal expenses incurred in connection with Executive’s performance of obligations pursuant to this Section 15 for which Executive has obtained prior approval from the Company.

(c)Nothing in this Agreement or any other agreement by and between the Parties is intended to or shall preclude or in any way limit or restrict Executive from providing accurate and truthful testimony or information to any governmental agency.

(d)This Section 15 shall survive the termination of the Employment Term.

16.Disclosure and Ownership of Intellectual Property.

(a)Company Intellectual Property. Executive acknowledges and agrees that any intellectual property, including, without limitation, works, materials, inventions, invention disclosures, invention registrations, patent rights, trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade dress, logos, domain names, copyrights, design rights, mask works, software, apparatus, technology, data, trade secrets, know-how and all other intellectual property and proprietary rights recognized by any applicable law of any jurisdiction, that Executive creates, discovers, conceives, reduces to practice, develops or acquires during the course of Executive’s employment, either alone or jointly with others, (A) using any equipment, supplies, facilities, trade secrets, know-how or other Confidential Information of the Company or any of its affiliates, (B) that results from any work performed for the Company or any of its affiliates and/or (B) that otherwise relates to the Company’s or any of its affiliates’ business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development (collectively, “Company Intellectual Property”) is and shall remain the exclusive property of the
Employer whether registered or otherwise exploited or not. In furtherance

of the foregoing, Executive hereby assigns, transfers, conveys and delivers to the Employer Executive’s entire right, title and interest in and to any and all such Company Intellectual Property.

(b)Work Made for Hire. Executive acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to any Company Intellectual Property that may qualify as a Work Made For Hire as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101 or other applicable law, such Company Intellectual Property is and will be deemed a Work Made for Hire and the Employer will have the sole and exclusive right to the copyright (or, in the event that any such Company Intellectual Property does not qualify as a Work Made for Hire, the copyright and all other rights thereto are hereby automatically assigned to the Employer as above).

(c)Disclosure. Executive agrees to record all activities undertaken in the course of Executive’s employment and to disclose promptly in writing to the Employer any and all Company Intellectual Property. Executive agrees that Executive will give the Company or any of its affiliates all reasonable assistance and execute all documents necessary to assist with enabling the Company or any of its affiliates to prosecute, perfect, register, record, enforce and defend any and all of their rights in and to any Company Intellectual Property and Confidential Information.

(d)Non-Assignable Inventions. If Executive’s principal work location is in California, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota or Washington State, the provisions regarding Executive’s assignment of Company Intellectual Property to the Employer in Sections 16(a) and 16(b) of this Agreement may not apply to certain inventions (“Non-Assignable Inventions”) as specified in the statutory code of the applicable state. Executive acknowledges having received notification regarding such Non-Assignable Inventions pursuant to such states’ codes.

(e)Prior Intellectual Property. If, in the course of Executive’s employment with the Employer, Executive uses any intellectual property that is solely or jointly owned by Executive or licensed to Executive, with the right to sub-license (collectively, “Prior Intellectual Property”), Executive hereby grants to the Company and its affiliates a worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, fully paid-up and royalty-free license (with rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees) to use, reproduce, modify, make derivative works of, publicly perform, publicly display, make, have made, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise exploit such Prior Intellectual Property for any purpose.

(f)Waiver of Moral Rights. To the extent Executive may do so under applicable law, Executive hereby waives and agrees never to assert any Moral Rights that Executive may have in or with respect to any Company

Intellectual Property, even after termination of any work on behalf of the Company or its affiliates. As used in this Agreement, “Moral Rights” means any rights to claim authorship of a work, to object to or prevent the modification or destruction of a work, or to withdraw from circulation or control the publication or distribution of a work, and any similar right, existing under any applicable law of any jurisdiction, regardless of whether or not such right is denominated or generally referred to as a “moral right.”

(g)This Section 16 shall survive the termination of the Employment Term.

17.Miscellaneous.

(a)Successors and Assigns.

(1)This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign or delegate any rights or obligations hereunder except to a 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, as applicable. Except for purposes of determining the occurrence of a Change in Control, the term “the Company” as used herein shall mean a corporation or other entity acquiring all or substantially all the assets and business of the Company, as the case may be, (including this Agreement) whether by operation of law or otherwise.

(2)Neither this Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder shall be assignable or transferable by Executive, Executive’s beneficiaries or legal representatives, except by will or by the, laws of descent and distribution.

(3)This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s legal personal representatives.

(b)Notice. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in the Agreement (including the Notice of Termination) shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or sent by Certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses last given by each party to each other party; provided that all notices to the Company shall be directed to the attention of the General Counsel of the Company. All notices and communications shall be deemed to have been received on the date of delivery thereof or on the third business day after the mailing thereof, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

(c)Indemnity Agreement. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold Executive harmless to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law for actions taken as a director or officer of the Company, as in effect at the time of the subject act or omission. In connection therewith, Executive shall be entitled to the protection of any insurance policies which the Company elects to maintain generally for the benefit of the Company’s directors and officers, against all costs, charges and expenses whatsoever incurred or sustained by Executive in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which he may be made a party by reason of Executive’s being or having been a director, officer or employee of the Company. This provision shall survive any termination of the Employment Term.

(d)Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to withhold the amount, if any, of all taxes of any applicable jurisdiction required to be withheld by an employer with respect to any amount paid to Executive hereunder. The Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall make all determinations as to whether it is obligated to withhold any taxes hereunder and the amount hereof.

(e)Release of Claims. The termination benefits described in Sections 9(b), 9(c) and 9(d)(1) hereof shall be conditioned on Executive delivering to the Company, and failing to revoke, a signed release of claims acceptable to the Company within fifty-five (55) days following Executive’s Termination Date; provided, however, that Executive shall not be required to release any rights Executive has to be indemnified by the Company under Section 15(c) hereof. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the timing of Executive’s execution of the release, directly or indirectly, result in Executive designating the calendar year of payment, and, to the extent required by Section 409A, if a payment that is subject to execution of the release could be made in more than one taxable year, payment shall be made in the later taxable year. Where applicable, references to Executive in this Section 17(e) shall refer to Executive’s representative or estate.

(f)Modification. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and the Company. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by the other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreement or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by any party which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement.

(g)Arbitration. If any legally actionable dispute arises under this Agreement or otherwise which cannot be resolved by mutual discussion between the parties, then the Company and Executive each agree to resolve that dispute by binding arbitration before an arbitrator experienced in employment law. Any arbitration hereunder shall be conducted in accordance with the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) Employment Arbitration Rules in effect at the time of the arbitration (the “JAMS Rules”) and the law applicable to the claim(s) asserted therein. The parties shall have fifteen (15) calendar days after JAMS issues a Commencement Letter (as defined in the JAMS Rules) to attempt to agree on the selection of an arbitrator from the JAMS roster. In the event the parties are unable to agree in such time, JAMS will provide a list of five (5) qualified and available arbitrators, and an arbitrator will be selected from that list by the parties alternately striking out one name of a potential arbitrator until only one name remains. The party entitled to strike an arbitrator first shall be selected by a coin toss. The parties agree that this agreement to arbitrate includes any claims that the Company may have against Executive, or that Executive may have against the Company and/or its related entities and/or employees, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, Executive’s employment, or Executive’s termination, including but not limited to any claims of discrimination or harassment in violation of applicable law and any other aspect of Executive’s compensation, employment, or termination. The parties further agree that arbitration as provided for in this Section 17(g) is the exclusive and binding remedy for any such dispute and will be used instead of any court action, and the parties hereby expressly waive any rights to litigate claims covered by this agreement to arbitrate in a court or other venue, except for (i) a request by any party for temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief pending arbitration in accordance with applicable law; (ii) breaches by Executive of Executive’s obligations under Sections 12, 13, 15 or 16 hereof; or (iii) an administrative claim with an administrative agency. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have the authority to and shall determine all gateway issues related to any dispute submitted to arbitration hereunder, including but not limited to the jurisdiction of the arbitrator, the arbitrability of any dispute (including the scope, validity, or enforceability of this agreement to arbitrate), and the proper or permissible parties to any such arbitration. The parties further agree that the arbitrator shall be empowered to award damages and/or equitable relief, as appropriate. Any arbitration provided for herein shall be conducted in or around Morristown, New Jersey, unless otherwise mutually agreed. The Company shall pay the cost of any arbitration brought pursuant to this paragraph, excluding, however, the costs of Executive’s representation in the arbitration (including but not limited to the fees and costs of Executive’s attorneys, advisors, experts, and other service providers), unless such cost is awarded in accordance with law or otherwise awarded by the arbitrator. Except as otherwise

provided above, the arbitrator may award legal fees to the prevailing party in the arbitrator’s sole discretion; provided that the percentage of fees so awarded shall not exceed 1% of the net worth of the paying party (i.e., the Company or Executive). Judgment upon any resulting arbitration award may be entered in any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction. Neither a party nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or outcome of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of all parties to the arbitration, except (1) as provided by Section 11 hereof; and (2) as may be required by law, including for purposes of entering judgment upon or enforcing the arbitrator’s award.

(h)Effect of Other Law. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the terms of this Agreement shall be modified to the extent required to meet the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Section 409A, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other law applicable to the employment arrangements between Executive and the Company. Any delay in providing benefits or payments or any failure to provide a benefit or payment shall not in and of itself constitute a breach of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company shall provide economically equivalent payments or benefits to Executive to the extent permitted by law as soon as practicable after such benefits or payments are due. Any request or requirement that Executive repay compensation that is required under the first sentence of this Section 17(h), or pursuant to a Company policy that is applicable to other executive officers of the Company and that is designed to advance the legitimate corporate governance objectives of the Company, shall not in and of itself constitute a breach of this Agreement.

(i)Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed entirely within such State, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.

(j)No Conflicts. As a condition to the effectiveness of this Agreement, Executive represents and warrants to the Company that he is not a party to or otherwise bound by any agreement or arrangement (including, without limitation, any license, covenant, or commitment of any nature), or subject to any judgment, decree, or order of any court or administrative agency, that would conflict with or will be in conflict with or in any way preclude, limit or inhibit Executive’s ability to execute this Agreement or to carry out Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder. In the event that the Company determines that Executive’s duties hereunder may conflict with an agreement or arrangement to which Executive is bound, Executive shall be required to cease engaging in any such activities, duties or responsibilities (including providing supervisory services over certain

subsets of the Company’s business operations) and the Company will take steps to restrict Executive’s access to, and participation in, any such activities. Any actions taken by the Company under this Section 17(j) to restrict or limit Executive’s access to information or provision of services shall not constitute Good Reason for purposes of Section 7(e) hereof.

(k)Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

18.Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto and supersedes all prior agreements, if any, understandings and arrangements, oral or written, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, including without limitation any term sheets or other similar presentations.

19.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, any one of which need not contain signatures of more than one party, but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement. Signatures transmitted via facsimile or PDF will be deemed the equivalent of originals.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Employment Agreement as of the day and year first above written, to be effective as of the Effective Date.
