3.No Other Monies Owed. You acknowledge and agree that you have been timely paid all of your wages and any other remuneration earned through the Separation Date. You acknowledge and agree that, prior to the execution of this Agreement, you were not entitled to receive any further payments or benefits from the Company, other than those required pursuant to the Company’s 401(k) plan and/or COBRA and similar state law, and the only payments and benefits that you are entitled to receive from the Company in the future are those specified in this Agreement.

You acknowledge and agree that you have reviewed the information on your Company equity awards that is available through Merrill Lynch Benefits Online and that it accurately reflects the Company equity awards previously granted to you, and the terms applicable to your Company equity awards, including, without limitation, the number of shares subject to such equity awards that were vested (if any) as of your Separation Date. Your Company equity awards and the shares (if any) acquired pursuant to such equity awards will remain, as applicable, subject to the terms and conditions of any applicable stock option agreement, exercise agreement, restricted stock unit agreement, and the Plan (each of which shall remain in full force and effect and, together, are the “Equity Documents”).

However, nothing in this Agreement precludes you from participating in any investigation or proceeding before any government agency or body and you do not need to provide notice to or obtain authorization from the Company to do so. Further, nothing in this Agreement is intended to impede your ability to report possible securities law violations to the government or to receive a monetary award from a government administered whistleblower-award program or waives your right to testify or prohibits you from testifying in an administrative, legislative, or judicial proceeding concerning alleged criminal conduct or alleged sexual harassment when you have been required or requested to attend the proceeding pursuant to a court order, subpoena or written request from an administrative agency or the California state legislature.

In addition, you expressly waive and release any and all rights and benefits under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California (or any analogous law of any other state), which reads as follows: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM

OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”

The severance offer will be automatically withdrawn if you do not sign the Agreement within the 45-day consideration period. Please also review the OWBPA Notice attached as Exhibit A.

8.No Admission. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall constitute or be treated as an admission by the Company or the Released Parties of any liability, wrongdoing, or violation of law.

9.Continuing Obligations. At all times in the future, you will remain bound by your Confidentiality Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Attachment B.

10.Return of Company Property. You agree that you have returned to the Company any and all Company property in your possession or control, including, without limitation, equipment, data, documents (in paper and electronic form) and credit cards. You further agree that you have returned or, if incapable of being returned, you have deleted and/or destroyed all Company property that you stored in electronic form or media (including, but not limited to, any Company property stored in a cloud environment or in your personal computer, USB drives or in any other device that will remain in your possession or control), except that for any property incapable of being returned, you agree to preserve any such Company property that is subject to any applicable hold notices.

11.Non-Disclosure. Except if required by law, you agree that you will not disclose to others this Agreement or its terms, except that you may disclose such information to your spouse and to your attorney or accountant in order for such individuals to render services to you. A breach of this provision will be deemed to be a material breach of this Agreement and, in addition to all other available remedies, will entitle the Company to recover liquidated damages in the amount of $10,000.00 for each occurrence of a breach. You expressly agree that this provision is reasonable under the circumstances that exist at the time this Agreement is made.

12.Non-Disparagement. You agree that you will not disparage or encourage or induce others to disparage the Company or any of the Released Parties. For the purpose of this Agreement, “disparage” includes, without limitation, making comments or statements on social media or the internet, or to any person or entity including, but not limited to, the press and/or media, current or former employees, board members, business partners or customers of the

Company or any entity with whom the Company has a business relationship, that would adversely affect in any manner (a) the conduct of the business of the Company or any of the Released Parties (including, but not limited to, any business plans or prospects) or (b) the reputation of the Company or any of the Released Parties. A breach of this provision will be deemed to be a material breach of this Agreement and, in addition to all other available remedies, will entitle the Company to recover liquidated damages in the amount of $10,000.00 for each occurrence of a breach. You expressly agree that this provision is reasonable under the circumstances that exist at the time this Agreement is made. Nothing in this Agreement prohibits you from providing truthful information as required by law, including in a legal proceeding or a government investigation or prevents you from discussing or disclosing information about unlawful acts in the workplace, such as harassment or discrimination or any other conduct that you have reason to believe is unlawful.

13.Arbitration Agreement. You and the Company agree that any and all claims or disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved by final, binding and confidential arbitration before a single arbitrator in Los Angeles, CA (or another mutually agreeable location) conducted under the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS) Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures, which can be reviewed at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/. Before engaging in arbitration, you and the Company agree to first attempt to resolve the dispute informally or with the assistance of a neutral third-party mediator. You and the Company each acknowledge that by agreeing to this arbitration procedure, you and the Company waive the right to resolve any such dispute, claim or demand through a trial by jury or judge or by administrative proceeding. The arbitrator, and not a court, shall also be authorized to determine arbitrability, except as provided herein. The arbitrator may in his or her discretion award attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party. All claims or disputes must be submitted to arbitration on an individual basis and not as a representative, class and/or collective action proceeding on behalf of other individuals. Any issue concerning the validity of this representative, class and/or collective action waiver must be decided by a Court and if for any reason it is found to be unenforceable, the representative, class and/or collective action claim may only be heard in Court and may not be arbitrated. Claims will be governed by applicable statutes of limitations. This arbitration agreement does not cover any action seeking only emergency, temporary or preliminary injunctive relief (including a temporary restraining order) in a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law to protect a party’s confidential or trade secret information. This arbitration agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act.

14.Entire Agreement. You and the Company agree that this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, the Equity Documents, and the Indemnification Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company and any affiliate of the Company regarding the subject matter of this Agreement. All other prior or contemporaneous negotiations, agreements, understandings, or representations between you and the Company or any affiliate of the Company are expressly superseded hereby and are of no further force and effect. This Agreement may only be modified in a written document signed by you and an authorized employee of the Company.

15.Governing Law. Except as to the arbitration provision, this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the state in which you primarily worked.

16.Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed deleted from this Agreement and such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, the balance of which will remain in and have its intended full force and effect; provided, however that if such invalid or unenforceable provision may be modified so as to be valid and enforceable as a matter of law, such provision shall be deemed to have been modified so as to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.

17.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one agreement. You and the Company agree that execution via DocuSign or another similar electronic signature service, or of a scanned image, shall have the same force and effect as execution of an original, that an electronic signature or scanned image of a signature shall be deemed an original and valid signature and that the Agreement may not be challenged on the basis of such signatures.

To accept this Agreement, please timely sign and date this Agreement and return it to me.

Sincerely,

Beyond Meat, Inc.
