2.
Amendments to Transition Agreement. Section 6(a) of the Transition Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Options. On April 26, 2015, you were granted a stock option (the “First Option”) to purchase 516,873 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) under the Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”). On November 28, 2018, you were granted a stock option (the “Second Option”) to purchase 195,000 shares of Common Stock under the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). On January 21, 2021, you were granted an additional stock option (the “Third Option” and collectively with the First Option and the Second Option, the “Options”) to purchase an additional 195,000 shares of Common Stock under the 2018 Plan. As of the Notification Date: (i) all of the shares subject to the First Option have vested, 101,729 of which remain exercisable, (ii) all of the shares subject to the Second Option have vested, 111,932 of which remain exercisable, and (iii) 134,062 of the shares subject to the Third Option have vested, of which 42,562 remain exercisable and 60,938 remain unvested. You have exercised and subsequently sold certain of the shares subject to the Options. You acknowledge and agree that as of the date hereof, you hold 240,901 shares of Common Stock (including any unvested RSUs (defined below)) and you hold an additional 27,805 shares of Common Stock (including any unvested RSUs) through the Michael Ellis 2021 Grantor Retained Annuity Trust No. 2. Pursuant to the applicable notice of stock option grants and stock option agreements (each, collectively, a “Stock Option Agreement”) between you and the Company, any vested shares subject to your Options shall remain exercisable at any time until the date three months after the Separation Date (and such shares to the extent unexercised will expire on such date). Any unvested shares subject to your Options will expire on the Separation Date for no consideration. The Stock Option Agreements and, if applicable, any agreements or notices pursuant to which you acquired or acquire any shares subject to your Options will remain in full force and effect, and you agree to remain bound by those agreements.”
