Employee’s employment with the Company terminated effective March 28, 2023 (the “Separation Date”). By this Agreement, Employee and the Company desire to resolve any claims or disputes Employee may have that exist at the time this Agreement is executed by the Parties.

In consideration of all mutual promises herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Employee and the Company agree:

1Provided Employee executes this Agreement, does not thereafter revoke this Agreement, and remains in full compliance with this Agreement, in the case of a Qualifying Termination that is a Termination Without Cause or a Resignation for Good Reason that does not occur on or within twelve (12) months after a Change in Control, the Company will: (i) pay Employee the Cash Severance set forth in Section 4(a) of the Plan; and (ii) provided Employee has made a proper and timely election to continue coverage under COBRA, has not secured alternate health care coverage, and such premiums are not otherwise being paid for by another entity, provide the benefits related to Health Insurance Premiums set forth in Section 4(b) of the Plan. Payments made by the Company to Employee hereunder will be paid less any and all required and/or authorized deductions and withholdings. The Company will pay the Cash Severance amount in a single lump-sum payment with such payment to be made in connection with the Company’s first normal payroll date following the expiration of the revocation period set forth in Paragraph 15(i), below. In addition, (i) outstanding and unvested compensatory equity awards granted to Employee that are subject to service-based vesting (including stock options and restricted stock unit awards) will be subject to Section 4(c)(ii) of the Plan; and (ii) all vested stock options granted to Employee shall be exercisable for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the Separation Date. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Company undergoes a “Change in Control” (as that term is defined in the Plan)1 in the six (6) month period following the Separation Date, the Company will: (i) pay Employee the following: (A) an additional six (6) months of Employee’s base salary (for a total payment under this Agreement of eighteen (18) months of Employee’s base salary as set forth in the Plan); (B) Employee’s full incentive bonus for the Severance Period as contemplated in Section 4(a) of the Plan; (ii) provided Employee has made a proper and timely election to continue coverage under COBRA, has not secured alternate health care coverage, and such premiums are not otherwise being paid for by another entity, provide an additional six (6) months of benefits related to Health Insurance Premiums as contemplated in Section 4(b) of the Plan; and (iii) all outstanding and unvested compensatory equity awards granted to Employee that are subject to service-based vesting (including stock options and restricted stock unit awards) shall become fully vested and exercisable (if applicable) for the remainder of their full term as more fully set forth in Section 4(c)(i) of the Plan.

Employee acknowledges that the Company has made no representation about the tax consequences of the Cash Severance or any other consideration provided by the Company to Employee pursuant to this Agreement.
