WHEREAS, you are currently employed by the Company as its Chief Revenue Officer pursuant to the Amended and Restated Offer Letter you and the Company entered into, dated September 30, 2021 (the “Amended Offer Letter”);

WHEREAS, you and the Company have agreed that (i) from July 17, 2023 until August 1, 2023 (the “Transition Period”), you will transition from your current position and will be employed by the Company as “Special Advisor to the Chief Revenue Officer”, (ii) during the Transition Period, and except for the change in your position referred to in (i) above, all the terms and conditions of your employment with the Company will remain unchanged and (iii) at the expiration of the Transition Period, your employment relationship with the Company will terminate.

WHEREAS, you and the Company agree that, immediately following the Separation Date (as defined below), you will provide consulting and advisory services to the Company as an independent contractor;

WHEREAS, except as set forth herein, you and the Company wish to terminate the Amended Offer Letter and set forth in this Agreement the terms and conditions of the consulting and advisory services you will provide;

WHEREAS, in exchange for the compensation and other benefits being provided to you pursuant to this Agreement, you agree to enter into a general release of all claims against the Company as set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, the Parties, and each of them, wish to resolve any and all disputes, claims, complaints, grievances, charges, actions, petitions and demands that you may have against the Company as defined herein, including, but not limited to, any and all claims arising or in any way related to your employment with, or separation from, the Company, and you and the Company desire to embody in this Agreement the terms, conditions and benefits to be provided in connection with your termination of employment with the Company;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises made herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1.Position, Terms and conditions. During the Transition Period, you will transition from your current position and will be employed as “Special Advisor to the Chief Revenue Officer” which reports to the Chief Revenue Officer (the “New Position”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Special Advisor to the Chief Revenue Officer is not an Egroup position or an executive position and is not a Section 16 Officer role. You agree that, during the Transition Period, all the terms and conditions of your employment with the Company, other than the New Position, will remain unchanged.

2.Absence of Good Reason. You agree and acknowledge that the change from your current position to the New Position will not constitute Good Reason as this term is defined in Exhibit A to the Amended Offer Letter.

1.Separation Date. Your last day of employment with the Company will be August 1, 2023 (the “Separation Date”). The Company shall pay to you all amounts and benefits that have accrued or were earned but remain unpaid through your Separation Date in respect of salary, bonus and unreimbursed expenses, including accrued and unused vacation, on the Separation Date, regardless of whether you sign this Agreement. The Amended Offer Letter, including the Severance Policy, will terminate on the commencement of the Transition Period without any payment due to you and without any remaining liability for, or obligations on the Company.

2.Consideration for Release. Subject to your compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and provided you deliver to the Company this signed Agreement and satisfy all conditions to make this Agreement effective, the Company shall provide you with good and valuable consideration, including, but not limited to, the payments set forth under this Agreement, as compensation for the Release set forth herein.

1.Service Period. You will serve as an independent contractor of the Company for the period commencing August 2, 2023 and ending on July 31, 2024, or such shorter period if you or the Company decide to terminate this Agreement in writing prior to July 31, 2024 (the “Service Period”). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event you terminate this Agreement for any reason other than the Company’s material breach of this Agreement, any then unpaid amounts set forth in Section

C.4 below shall terminate, and you shall not be entitled to any further payments set forth in Section

C.4 below.

2.Services. During the Service Period you shall provide consulting and advisory services to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or other Company personnel as may be requested from time to time, at a rate no less than 8 hours and no greater than twenty (20) hours per month (the “Services”). You shall provide the Services as an independent contractor of the Company and nothing in this Agreement will be construed as creating a joint venture relationship or an employer/employee/agency relationship between you and the Company.

(a)Work Product; Moral Rights. You will disclose in writing to Company all inventions, products, designs, drawings, notes, documents, information, documentation, improvements, works of authorship, processes, techniques, know-how, algorithms, specifications, hardware, circuits, computer programs, databases, user interfaces, encoding techniques, and other materials of any kind that you may make, conceive, develop or reduce to practice, alone or jointly with others, while performing the Services, or that result from such Services, whether or not they are eligible for patent, copyright, mask work, trade secret, trademark or other legal protection (collectively, the “Work Product”). You agree that all Work Product will be the sole and exclusive property of the Company. You hereby irrevocably transfer and assign to Company, and agree to irrevocably transfer and assign to Company, all right, title and interest in and to the Work Product, including all worldwide patent rights (including patent applications and disclosures), copyright

rights, mask work rights, trade secret rights, know-how, and any and all other intellectual property or proprietary rights (collectively, “Intellectual Property Rights”) therein. At Company’s request and expense, during and after the term of this Agreement, you will assist and cooperate with Company in all respects, and will execute documents, and will take such further acts reasonably requested by Company to enable Company to acquire, transfer, maintain, perfect and enforce its Intellectual Property Rights and other legal protections for the Work Product. You hereby appoint the officers of Company as your attorney-in-fact to execute documents on your behalf for this limited purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you also hereby irrevocably transfer and assign to Company, and agree to irrevocably transfer and assign to Company, and waive and agree never to assert, any and all Moral Rights (as defined below) that you may have in or with respect to any Work Product, during and after the term of this Agreement. “Moral Rights” mean any rights to claim authorship of a work, to object to or prevent the modification or destruction of a work, to withdraw from circulation or control the publication or distribution of a work, and any similar right, existing under judicial or statutory law of any country in the world, or under any treaty, regardless of whether or not such right is called or generally referred to as a “moral right.”

(b)Related Rights. To the extent that you own or control (presently or in the future) any patent rights, copyright rights, mask work rights, trade secret rights, or any other intellectual property or proprietary rights that may block or interfere with, or may otherwise be required for, the exercise by Company of the rights assigned to Company under this Agreement (collectively, “Related Rights”), you hereby grant or will cause to be granted to Company a non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, transferable, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, copy, modify, create derivative works based upon, distribute, sublicense, display, perform and transmit any products, software, hardware, methods or materials of any kind that are covered by such Related Rights, to the extent necessary to enable Company to exercise all of the rights assigned to Company under this Agreement.

(c)Proprietary Information. You agree that all Work Product and other business, technical and financial information (including, without limitation, the identity of and information relating to Company’s customers or employees) you obtain or assign to Company, or learn while performing the Services, constitute “Proprietary Information.” You will hold in confidence and not disclose or, except in performing the Services, use any Proprietary Information. However, you will not be so obligated with respect to information that (i) you can document is or becomes readily publicly available without restriction through no fault of yours, or (ii) that you knew without restriction prior to its disclosure by Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing nondisclosure obligations, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 1833(b), you will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made: (1) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (2) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. The Company agrees that it shall not disclose material nonpublic information to you during the Service Period, however in the event that such material nonpublic information is disclosed to you by the Company it shall not be deemed a material breach of this agreement.

(a)Fee. During the period of August 2, 2023 to February 2, 2024 (the “Fee Period”) you shall receive a monthly payment equal to $33,750.00 USD per month (the “Fee”). The Fee will be paid at the end of the month to which your service relates. For the avoidance of doubt, the total payments for the entire Fee Period to be made according to and subject to your compliance with the terms set forth herein is $202,500.00 USD or 6 payments of the Fee. Additionally, in the event the Company distributes funds for the first payout period of fiscal year 2024 (covering the first half of fiscal year 2024) and/or the second payout period of fiscal year 2024 (covering the second half of

fiscal year 2024) pursuant to its fiscal year 2024 Bonus Plan, you will receive a payout amount equal to the amount you would have received if your employment had continued with the Company during each of the payout period (the “Bonus Payment”). For the avoidance of doubt, except as set forth in the preceding sentence above, you will not participate in the fiscal year 2024 Bonus Plan.

(b)COBRA Benefit. Subject to your timely and proper election of coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), your then- effective group health benefits for you and your COBRA-eligible dependents shall be continued at the Company’s cost for all premiums under COBRA (the monthly cost of such premiums, the “COBRA Premium”) for six (6) months (the “Non-Cash COBRA”) following the Separation Date, provided that, if the Company determines that it cannot provide the Non-Cash COBRA without potentially violating applicable law or incurring additional expense under applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company will provide you, in lieu thereof, taxable, continued installment payments equal to the COBRA Premium for 6 months (measured from the Separation Date), which payments will be made regardless of whether you elect COBRA continuation coverage (the “Cash COBRA”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of months of Cash COBRA to be paid, in any case, shall be reduced by the number of months of Non-Cash COBRA previously paid by the Company.

(c)Treatment on Termination of Services During the Service Period. If either the Company or you terminate this Agreement or terminate your services during the Service Period, any then-unvested and unpaid portion of the amounts described in this Section C.4 will be fully and immediately canceled without consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this subsection (c), if your services during the Service Period are terminated (x) by the Company other than due to your gross negligence or intentional misconduct or material breach of this Agreement which is not cured during the Cure Period (as defined below), (y) by you due to the Company’s material breach of this Agreement, which breach is uncured after 30 days of your written notice to the Company alleging the breach in detail, or (z) due to your death or disability (items (x), (y), and (z) of this paragraph, collectively, shall be referred to as an “Involuntary Termination”), you will remain eligible to receive any remaining portion of the Fee as well as the equity award treatment set forth in Section C.5 below (but for clarity, not the Bonus Payment).

You acknowledge and agree that your strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including Section C.6 below, provided that in each case, you will not be considered non-compliant unless you have received written notice (electronic communication is acceptable) of such and at least ten (10) days to cure (“Cure Period”) is a condition to your receipt of any consideration pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be deemed a material breach of this Agreement or any other event under clause (x) in the paragraph above merely because you fail to provide the minimum hours of service required in Section C.2, but only if you (x) have made yourself readily available for that minimum number of hours and the Company has declined to engage your service for that number of hours, and (y) otherwise remain available and able to continue providing services under this Agreement. You further acknowledge and agree that in the event of any breach of your obligations under this Agreement, the Company shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, be entitled to refrain from making any payment of amounts provided under this Section C.4 that may be due but have not yet been paid, as well as withholding the equity award treatment set forth in Section C.5 below, until such time as you have fully cured any such breach(es) to the satisfaction of the Company following written notification to you (electronic communication is acceptable) of such breach and an opportunity during the Cure Period.

5.Company Equity Awards. The parties hereto agree that you will stop vesting on your outstanding equity awards on July 31, 2024, or the earlier end of the Service Period (provided that upon an earlier Involuntary Termination, your equity awards will continue to vest through July 31, 2024). On July 31, 2024, you and the Company agree that the Company will cancel without

consideration all your other unvested outstanding equity awards with respect to which vesting is no longer possible. At the end of the Service Period, you may exercise any of your vested outstanding options, at any time until the earliest to occur of (i) the consummation of a Corporate Transaction (as defined in the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”)), (ii) the effective date of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (iii) any earlier date as required under the Plan, (iv) the date that is the expiration date of your option and (v) July 31, 2025, subject to your execution of a general release of claims in the form prescribed by the Company to be signed on the end of the Service Period and made effective pursuant to the deadline provided on such general release. On August 1, 2023, you and the Company agree that your performance stock unit award granted on June 17, 2022 (“PSU”) will be canceled without consideration.

(a)Non-Competition. During the Service Period, without the written consent of the Company, you will not become employed by (as an officer, director, employee, consultant or otherwise), involved or engaged in, or otherwise commercially interested in or affiliated with (other than as a less than 5% equity owner of any corporation traded on any national, international or regional stock exchange or over-the-counter market) any person or entity that competes with the Company, or involves preparation to compete with, or an affiliate thereof (together, the “Company Group”) in the business of the Company (the “Business”), which includes DevSecOps. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may (i) work for a division, entity or subgroup of a company or entity that engages in the Business so long as such division, entity or subgroup does not engage in the Business, and (ii) own an equity interest in and provide services to a debt or equity investment fund and its portfolio companies.

(b)Non-Solicitation of Employees. During the Service Period and for a period of one

(1) year thereafter, without the written consent of the Company, you will not induce or attempt to induce any service provider of any member of the Company Group to leave the service of the Company Group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this Agreement, the placement of general advertisements that may be targeted to a particular geographic or technical area but that are not specifically targeted toward employees of the Company or its successor assigns shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Section C.6.

In consideration of the payments and benefits provided and to be provided to you by the Company under this Agreement, and in connection with your separation from employment, by your signature below you agree to the following general release (the “Release”).

1.On behalf of yourself, your heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns, you hereby fully and forever generally release and discharge the Company, its current, former and future parents, subsidiaries, affiliated companies, related entities, employee benefit plans, and their fiduciaries, predecessors, successors, officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees and assigns (collectively, for purposes of this Section D, the “Company”) from any and all claims, causes of action, and liabilities up through the date of your execution of this Agreement. The claims subject to this Release include, but are not limited to, those relating to your employment with the Company and/or any predecessor to the Company and the termination of such employment. All such claims (including related attorneys’ fees and costs) are barred without regard to whether those claims are based on any alleged breach of a duty arising in statute, contract, or tort. This expressly includes waiver and release of any rights and claims arising under any and all laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances, including, but not limited to: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act; the Americans With Disabilities Act; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act; the Fair Labor Standards Act; the National Labor Relations Act; the Family and Medical Leave

Act; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”); the Workers Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act; the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (if applicable); the provisions of the California Labor Code (if applicable); the Equal Pay Act of 1963; and any similar law of any other state or governmental entity. You further waive any rights under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any similar state statute. Section 1542 states:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH, IF KNOWN TO HIM OR HER, MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

This Release does not extend to, and has no effect upon: (a) any benefits that have accrued, and to which you have become vested or otherwise entitled to, under any employee benefit plan, program or policy sponsored or maintained by the Company and its affiliates, (b) your right to indemnification by the Company, and continued coverage by the Company’s director’s and officer’s liability insurance policy, or any indemnification rights to which you may be entitled under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or under any power that the Company may have to indemnify you or hold you harmless, (c) any claim that arises after the date of this Agreement (including but not limited to your right to enforce the terms of this Agreement), (d) your rights following the date hereof with respect to any vested equity interests you hold in the Company or any of its past or present affiliates, or (e) any right you may have to obtain contribution as permitted by law in the event of entry of judgment against you as a result of any act or failure to act for which the Company, or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, and you are held jointly liable.

2.You understand that nothing in the Agreement shall prohibit you from exercising legal rights that are, as a matter of law, not subject to waiver such as: (a) your rights under applicable workers’ compensation laws; (b) your right, if any, to seek unemployment benefits; (c) your right to indemnity under California Labor Code Section 2802 or other applicable state-law right to indemnity; and (d) your right to file a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal, state or local government agency or commission (“Government Agencies”). You further understand that this Agreement does not limit your ability to communicate with any Government Agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company. This Agreement does not limit your right to receive an award for information provided to any Government Agencies. Moreover, you will continue to be indemnified for your actions taken while employed by the Company to the same extent as other then-current or former directors and officers of the Company under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and any director or officer indemnification agreement between you and the Company, if any, and you will continue to be covered by the Company’s director’s and officer’s liability insurance policy as in effect from time to time to the same extent as other then-current or former directors and officers of the Company, each subject to the requirements of the laws of the State of California.

reproductions thereof). You understand that, even if you did not sign the Agreement, you are still bound by any and all confidential/proprietary/trade secret information, non-disclosure and inventions assignment agreement(s) signed by you in connection with your employment with the Company, or with a predecessor or successor of the Company pursuant to the terms of such agreement(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may retain during the Service Period any company-provided cell phone or laptop in order to provide services to the Company, but you agree to return such cell phone and laptop computer upon the termination or completion of the Service Period. In addition, the Company reserves the right to review and erase any company confidential information that may be contained on the Company-provided cell phone and laptop computer. Upon the end of the Service Period, the Company agrees to transfer ownership of your Company laptop, office lighting, monitor, camera equipment, and other office supplies to you on the condition that you agree to wipe your company-issued laptop and any other devices in compliance with the GitLab Laptop Buy-Back Policy and the terms in your Amended Offer Letter on or before 5pm pacific of the last day of the Transition Period, or August 1, 2023 whichever occurs first.

8.In executing this Agreement, you acknowledge that you have not relied upon any statement made by the Company, or any of its representatives or employees, with regard to the Agreement unless the representation is specifically included herein. Furthermore, this Agreement contains our entire understanding regarding eligibility for payments and benefits and supersedes any or all prior representation and agreement regarding the subject matter of this Agreement. However, this Agreement does not modify, amend or supersede written Company agreements that are consistent with enforceable provisions of this Agreement such as the Confidential Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement that you previously entered into with the Company (the “Inventions Agreement”), and any stock, stock option restricted stock unit and/or stock purchase agreements between the Company and you. Once effective and enforceable, this agreement can only be changed by another written agreement signed by you and an authorized representative of the Company.

1.Section 409A. To the extent (a) any payments to which you become entitled under this Agreement, or any agreement or plan referenced herein constitute deferred compensation subject to

Section 409A of the Code and (b) you are deemed at the time of such termination of employment to be a “specified” employee under Section 409A of the Code, then such payment or payments will not be made or commence until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the Separation Date and (ii) the date of your death following such separation from service; provided, however, that such deferral will be effected only to the extent required to avoid adverse tax treatment to you, including (without limitation) the additional twenty percent (20%) tax for which you would otherwise be liable under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code in the absence of such deferral. Upon the expiration of the applicable deferral period, any payments which would have otherwise been made during that period (whether in a single sum or in installments) in the absence of this paragraph will be paid to you or your beneficiary in one lump sum (without interest).

To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its exemption or compliance with Section 409A, the provision will be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder are exempt from Section 409A to the maximum permissible extent, and for any payments where such construction is not tenable, that those payments comply with Section 409A to the maximum permissible extent. To the extent any payment under this Agreement may be classified as a “short- term deferral” within the meaning of Section 409A, such payment will be deemed a short-term deferral, even if it may also qualify for an exemption from Section 409A under another provision of Section 409A.

Payments pursuant to this Agreement (or referenced in this Agreement) are intended to constitute separate payments for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the regulations under Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company determines that any compensation or benefits payable under this Agreement may be subject to Section 409A, the Company will work in good faith with you to adopt such amendments to this Agreement, or to adopt such policies and procedures or take such other actions that the Company determines are necessary or appropriate, to avoid the imposition of taxes under Section 409A.

2.Confidential Information and Other Company Policies. In connection with providing the Services, you will be bound by and comply fully with the Company’s standard confidentiality agreement (a form of which will be provided to you), insider trading policy, code of conduct, and any other policies and programs adopted by the Company regulating the behavior of its service providers, as such policies and programs may be amended from time to time.

3.Business Expense Reimbursement. You will be reimbursed, in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy, for all business expenses reasonably and necessarily incurred by you in connection with your provision of the Services to the Company.

4.Confidential Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that you will continue to be bound by the Inventions Agreement.

5.Withholding. Sums payable to you hereunder shall be paid without deduction and withholding, and you shall be solely responsible for remittance of any and all taxes due as a self- employed person.

6.Severability. If any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, at any time, or to any extent, be determined invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby and shall be deemed valid and fully enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

7.Successors; Assignment. The rights and obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company. Your rights and obligations hereunder are non-assignable. The Company may assign its rights and

obligations to any entity in which the Company or an entity affiliated with the Company, has a majority ownership interest.

8.Notices. Notices and all other communications contemplated by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or when mailed by U.S. registered or certified mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid. Notices or other communication directed to you shall be addressed to your home address most recently communicated to the Company in writing. Notices or other communication directed to the Company shall be addressed to the Company’s corporate headquarters and directed to the attention of the Board.

9.Corporate Transaction; Entire Agreement; Agreement Provisions Modified. Notwithstanding the terms of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that a Corporate Transaction (as defined in the Offer Letter) occurs prior to November 2, 2023, your outstanding time-based Company equity awards shall become immediately vested as of the date of such Corporate Transaction. For the sake of clarity, your canceled PSU equity grant will not accelerate in the event of a Corporate Transaction occurring prior to November 2, 2023. Except as set forth herein, this Agreement, including the Inventions Agreement, sets forth the terms of your service with the Company and supersedes any prior representations or agreements, whether written or oral, including the Amended Offer Letter. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by a written agreement signed by you and an authorized officer of the Company.

10.Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Except for any claim for injunctive relief arising out of a breach of a party’s obligations to protect the other’s proprietary information, the parties agree to arbitrate, in San Francisco, California through JAMS, any and all disputes or claims arising out of or related to the validity, enforceability, interpretation, performance or breach of this Agreement, whether sounding in tort, contract, statutory violation or otherwise, or involving the construction or application or any of the terms, provisions, or conditions of this Agreement. Any arbitration may be initiated by a written demand to the other party. The arbitrator's decision shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The parties further agree that this Agreement is intended to be strictly construed to provide for arbitration as the sole and exclusive means for resolution of all disputes hereunder to the fullest extent permitted by law. Further, to the fullest extent permitted by law, you and the Company agree that no class or collective actions can be asserted in arbitration or otherwise. All claims, whether in arbitration or otherwise, must be brought solely in your or the Company’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or collective proceeding. Nothing in this Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section, however, restricts your right, if any, to file in court a representative action under California Labor Code Sections 2698, et seq.

SUBJECT TO THE ABOVE PROVISO, THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN REGARD TO ARBITRABLE CLAIMS. THE PARTIES FURTHER WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO PURSUE OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE ACTION PERTAINING TO ANY ARBITRABLE CLAIMS BETWEEN YOU AND THE COMPANY.

11.Consideration Period; Effective Date. You agree that you have had at least twenty-one

(21) calendar days in which to consider whether to execute this Agreement, no one hurried you into executing this Agreement during that period, and no one coerced you into executing this Agreement. The offer set forth in this Agreement will expire on the twenty-second (22nd) calendar day after your receipt of this Agreement. You also understand you may revoke this Agreement within seven

(7) days of signing this Agreement. This Agreement is effective on the eighth (8th) day after you sign it and without revocation by you (the “Effective Date”). You understand that the payments and

12.Choice of Law. This Agreement is made and entered into in the State of California, and shall in all respects be interpreted, enforced and governed by and under the laws of the State of California (but not including any choice of law rule thereof that would cause the laws of another jurisdiction to apply).

13.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
