3. Compensation.

3.1. 2016 Compensation. In consideration for Executive’s services rendered to the Company during the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company shall pay to Executive a cash bonus in the amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), which bonus shall be payable as follows: (i) $250,000 of such bonus shall be paid on or before March 15, 2017; and (ii) the balance shall be payable upon the earlier of (A) 30 days prior written demand after the completion of the Company’s initial public offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Initial Public Offering”); or (B) February 15, 2018.

3.2. Annual Compensation. In consideration for the services rendered by Executive hereunder during the Employment Term, (i) the Company shall pay to Executive (i) a base salary of $1.00 per year and (ii) the Company shall issue to Executive on the last trading day of each calendar quarter during the Employment Term commencing on March 31, 2017 (each an “Issuance Date”) a number of shares of Common Stock derived by dividing (A) $125,000 by the per share Fair Market Value (as defined below) of the Common Stock on such Issuance Date (the “Quarterly Shares”) provided that Executive is still employed by the Company on such Issuance Date. Such Quarterly Shares shall be issued for services rendered to the Company, and Executive shall remit to the Company the withholding taxes due on such Quarterly Shares within five (5) business days following each Issuance Date. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Fair Market Value” per share of Common Stock on any relevant date shall mean (a) the average of the last five closing trade prices for the Company’s Common Stock on the primary national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded (the “Principal Market”), as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”), or, if the Principal Market begins to operate on an extended hours basis and does not designate the closing trade price, then the last trade price of such security prior to 4:00 p.m., New York time, as reported by Bloomberg during such five day period; provided however, if there is no closing trade price for the Common Stock on such dates in question, then the Fair Market Value shall be the average of the most recent five closing trade prices preceding the date for which such trade price exists), (ii) if the Common Stock is at the time quoted on an exchange or market system (including over-the-counter markets), which the Board determines is the primary market for the Common Stock, then the Fair Market Value shall be the average of the closing sales price per share of Common Stock for the five days prior to the date in question, as such price is officially reported or quoted by such exchange or market system (or if there is no closing sales price for the Common Stock on such dates, then the Fair Market Value shall be the average of the closing sales price for the five days prior to the last preceding date for which such closing sales price exists); or (iii) if the foregoing do not apply, the average of the bid prices, or the ask prices, respectively, of any market makers for such security as reported by the OTC Markets Group Inc. If the Fair Market Value cannot be calculated for a security on a particular date using any of the foregoing methods, the Fair Market Value of such security on such date shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors in reliance on a valuation report prepared not more than nine (9) months prior to the determination date for the purposes of compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. All such determinations to be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during the applicable calculation period.

The Company shall grant to Executive the following two stock options, which options shall be granted as of the date the underwriting agreement for the Initial Public Offering is signed (the “IPO Effective Date”) provided that Executive is in Service (as defined in the Stock Plan) with the Company under this Agreement on such date, and such options shall have an exercise price per share equal to the price to the public in the Initial Public Offering. Such options shall be granted under the Company’s equity incentive plan then in effect (the “Stock Plan”) and shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Stock Plan and the form Notice of Grant of Stock Option and Stock Option Agreement approved for use under the Stock Plan, except as otherwise provided herein.

7. Certain Terminations of Employment.

7.1. Termination upon Death or Disability. If the Executive dies during the Employment Term, the Employment Term shall terminate as of the date of death, and the obligations of the Company to or with respect to the Executive shall terminate in their entirety upon such date except as otherwise provided under this Section 7.1. If the Executive becomes Disabled (as defined below), the Company shall have the right, to the extent permitted by law, to

4

terminate the employment of the Executive upon notice in writing to the Executive. For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive will only be considered “Disabled” if the Executive is unable by reason of accident or illness (including mental illness) to perform essential job functions of his position for more than 180 consecutive days with reasonable accommodation that does not cause undue hardship. “Disability” will be determined by a physician reasonably acceptable to the Company and Executive or his legal representatives. If the Executive is terminated due to death or by reason of becoming Disabled, (i) the Executive (or the Executive’s estate or beneficiaries in the case of the death of the Executive) shall be entitled to (A) any wages earned prior to the date of termination of employment, (B) reimbursement under this Agreement for expenses incurred prior to the termination of employment; (C) payment for any earned but unused vacation days, (D) any other amounts to which Executive is legally entitled to as of the date of his termination (the amounts in clauses (A) through and including (D) being the “Accrued Amounts”), and (E) any outstanding options held by Executive to the extent vested as of the date of such termination may be exercised by Executive or Executive’s estate for a period of one year following termination of employment in accordance with this Section 7.1, and (ii) the Executive (or, in the case of his death, his estate and beneficiaries) shall have no further rights to any other compensation or benefits hereunder on or after the termination of employment, or any other rights hereunder. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall be made within thirty (30) days of the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company.

7.2. Termination by the Company for Cause; Resignation of the Executive without Good Reason; Expiration of the Employment Term.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: (i) a breach by the Executive of a material provision of the Agreement; or (ii) the Executive’s conviction, guilty plea or plea of nolo contendere for any crime involving financial impropriety, moral turpitude, or in any felony criminal proceeding, in each case that was materially detrimental to the Company’s reputation or business; provided that, with respect to the actions, events or conditions described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, any termination by the Company shall be presumed to be other than for Cause unless (A) the Company provides written notice to Executive of the applicable action, event or condition allegedly constituting Cause (which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the particulars of such action, event or condition), and (B) if such condition can be cured, rescinded or remedied, the Executive fails to cure, rescind or otherwise remedy the applicable action, event or condition described in such written notice within thirty (30) days after delivery of such written notice (or such longer period as the Company may agree in writing).

(b) For the purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean Executive’s voluntary resignation from his employment with the Company for any of the following events which occurs without Executive’s written agreement that such event will not constitute a “Good Reason” event: (i) a material reduction in the Executive’s duties, powers and responsibilities; (ii) if the Executive no longer reports directly to the Board or the Company’s reporting structure is changed so that any of the Company’s officer positions (which currently report to Executive) no longer report to the Executive; (iii) a material reduction in Executive’s compensation, which shall be deemed to have occurred if the aggregate dollar amount of his Quarterly Shares have been reduced by ten percent (10%) or more without the Executive’s prior written consent; (iv) a relocation of the Company’s offices by more than thirty-five (35) miles outside of Executive’s residence as of the date hereof; or (v) the Company’s breach of any

5

material provision of this Agreement. In order for a termination to constitute a termination for “Good Reason” hereunder, Executive must give the Company written notice of his intent to resign for Good Reason within ninety (90) days following the date Executive first learns of such Good Reason event, and the Company shall not have cured such Good Reason event within thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice from the Executive and Executive’s employment must terminate upon expiration of such thirty (30)-day period.

(c) If the Company terminates Executive for Cause, if the Executive resigns from the Company without Good Reason, or if Executive’s employment terminates at the end of the Employment Term, then (i) the Executive shall receive the Accrued Amounts, and (ii) the Executive shall have no further rights to any other compensation or benefits hereunder on or after such termination of employment.

7.3. Termination by the Company without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time for any reason or no reason. If the Company terminates Executive’s employment with the Company during the Employment Term without Cause (excluding a termination covered by Section 7.1) or Executive resigns for Good Reason, then the Executive shall receive (i) the Accrued Amounts, and (ii) if a general release of all claims as provided below is executed and delivered by Executive to the Company, in the form attached as Exhibit A, and has become irrevocable, all within the fifty-two (52) days following termination (it being expressly agreed and understood that other than the Accrued Amounts, no payment or benefit under this Section 7.3 shall be required to be paid or provided unless and until the foregoing release requirement is satisfied), then Executive shall receive the option acceleration set forth in Section 4.3 above (the “Separation Benefits”). Provision of the Separation Benefits shall be conditioned on Executive’s execution (and non-revocation) of a general release of all claims against the Company and its affiliates (subject to customary exceptions for continuing obligations covered by indemnification or director and officers insurance and share ownership) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A; and the Executive shall have no further rights to any other compensation or benefits hereunder on or after the termination of employment, or any other rights hereunder. All Separation Benefits due shall also be subject to Section 14.2 to the extent applicable. For avoidance of doubt, the termination of the Executive’s employment at the end of the Employment Term shall not be treated as termination during the Employment Term without Cause eligible for Separation Benefits.

8. Section 280G Matters. In the event that any payment, accelerated vesting or other benefit payable to Executive under this Agreement together with any other benefits received by Executive under any other Agreement would constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) (“Parachute Payments”), the following rules shall apply: If at such time the Company is not an entity whose stock is readily tradable on an established securities market (and the Company is otherwise eligible to use the exception in Section 280G(b)(5)(A)(ii)) and if the Executive agrees to waive the right to receive and/or repay any Parachute Payment as required by applicable regulations under Section 280G(b)(5) of the Code (a “280G Waiver”), the Company shall seek to obtain stockholder approval in accordance with the terms of Section 280G(b)(5)(A)(ii) and the regulations thereunder. If at such time either Section 280G(b)(5)(A) is not available for the Company or the Executive does not provide a 280G Waiver, then Executive will be entitled to receive either (i) the full amount of the Parachute Payments, or (ii) the maximum amount that may be provided to

6

Executive without resulting in any portion of such Parachute Payments being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, whichever of clauses (i) and (ii), after taking into account applicable federal, state, and local taxes and the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, results in the receipt by Executive, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest portion of the Parachute Payments. The repayment and/or reduction of payments or benefits which would be Parachute Payments (each a “Payment”) contemplated by the preceding sentence shall be implemented by determining the Parachute Payment Ratio (as defined below) for each Payment and then reducing the Payments in order beginning with the Payments with the highest Parachute Payment Ratio. For Payments with the same Parachute Payment Ratio, such Payments shall be reduced based on the time of payment of such Payments, with amounts having later payment dates being reduced first. For Payments with the same Parachute Payment Ratio and the same time of payment, such Payments shall be reduced on a pro rata basis (but not below zero) prior to reducing Payments with a lower Parachute Payment Ratio. Any such repayment or reduction will in all events comply with 409A. For purposes of the foregoing, “Parachute Payment Ratio” shall mean a fraction, the numerator of which is the value of the applicable Payment for purposes of Section 280G and the denominator of which is the intrinsic value of such Payment.

9. Indemnification Agreement. The Company shall enter into an indemnification agreement with Executive in substantially the form of indemnification agreement adopted by the Company for the Company’s officers and directors.

10. At Will Agreement. Executive’s employment with the Company is at will, which means that it may be terminated by either the Company or Executive at any time, for any reason, without reason, and without advance notice.

11. Covenants of the Executive. As condition of employment hereunder, Executive shall sign and deliver to the Company the Company’s form of Employee Information and Proprietary Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, to the extent such form agreement has not been previously executed by the Executive.

12. Non-Solicitation. Executive covenants and agrees that for one (1) year following the date on which Executive’s employment is terminated, regardless of the reason that Employee’s employment is terminated, Executive shall not directly or indirectly: (a) solicit for employment to any then current employee of the Company (including, without limitation, any person employed by the Company after the date hereof), or (b) encourage any employee, vendor or supplier of the Company to terminate such person’s employment or relationship with the Company, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Executive from placing general advertisements for employment which are not specifically directed to, or intended to encourage response from, the other party’s employees, or from hiring individuals who respond to such advertisements. This provision shall be in addition to the non-solicitation provision set forth in the PIIAA, which shall remain in full force and effect.

7

13. Representations and Warranties of the Executive. The Executive represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

13.1. This Agreement will be duly executed and delivered by the Executive and (assuming due execution and delivery hereof by the Company) will be the valid and binding obligation of the Executive enforceable against the Executive in accordance with its terms.

13.2. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Executive nor the performance of this Agreement in accordance with its terms and conditions by the Executive (i) requires the approval or consent of any governmental body or of any other person or (ii) conflicts with or results in any breach or violation of, or constitutes (or with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute) a default under, any agreement, instrument, judgment, decree, order, statute, rule, permit or governmental regulation applicable to the Executive.

13.3. The representations and warranties of the Executive contained in this Section 13 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

14. Other Provisions.

14.1. Severability. If it is determined that any of the provisions of this Agreement, is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions of this Agreement shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions.

14.2. Section 409A Matters. This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and its corresponding regulations (“Section 409A”), or an exemption thereto, and payments may only be made under this Agreement upon an event and in a manner permitted by Section 409A, to the extent applicable. Separation Benefits provided under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from Section 409A under the “separation pay exception” to the maximum extent applicable. Further, any payments that qualify for the “short-term deferral” exception or another exception under Section 409A shall be paid under the applicable exception. All separation payments to be made upon a termination of employment under this Agreement may only be made upon a “separation from service” under Section 409A. For purposes of Section 409A, the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. In no event may the Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of a payment. 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. All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under the Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, including, where applicable, the requirement that (i) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during the period of time specified in this Agreement, (ii) 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, (iii) 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 (iv) the right to reimbursement or in kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. If the Executive is treated as a “specified employee” (as determined by the Company in its discretion in accordance with applicable regulations under Section 409A of the

8

Code) at the time of his or her separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) from the Company and each employer treated as a single employer with the Company under Section 414(b) or (c) of the Code, and if any amount(s) of nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) are payable under this Agreement by reason of the Employee’s separation from service, then payment of the amounts so treated as nonqualified deferred compensation which would otherwise be payable during the six month period following the Employee’s separation from service will be delayed until the earlier of (i) the first business day which is at least six months and one day following the date of such separation from service, (ii) the death of the Employee, or (iii) such earlier date on which payment is permitted under Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code.

14.3. Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be (i) delivered personally, (ii) sent by reputable overnight courier that guarantees next business day delivery or (iii) sent by certified or express mail, postage prepaid (return receipt or signature confirmation of receipt required). Any such notice shall be deemed given when so delivered personally, or if sent via reputable overnight courier, one business day after the date of deposit with such courier or, if mailed (certified and/or express mail), five days after the date of deposit in the United States mails as follows:

1. No Admission of Liability. The parties agree that the execution of this Agreement, and the performance of the acts required by it, does not constitute an admission of liability, culpability, negligence or wrongdoing on the part of anyone, and will not be construed for any purpose as an admission of liability, culpability, negligence or wrongdoing by any party.

2. Wages and Vacation Time Paid. Executive acknowledges that he as a result of the equity and other consideration that he received, he was fully and completely compensated for all services that he provided to Employer.

3. Release Benefit. Pursuant to the terms of Executive’s Employment Agreement, he is entitled to certain benefits if he agrees to release all known and unknown claims against Employer (the “Release Benefits”). Executive acknowledges and agrees that he is not entitled to the Release Benefits unless and until he executes this General Release.

4. General Release. Executive for himself, his heirs, executors, administrators, assigns and successors, fully and forever releases and discharges Employer and each of its current, former and future parents, subsidiaries, related entities, employee benefit plans and their fiduciaries, predecessors, successors, officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees and assigns (collectively, “Releasees”), with respect to any and all claims, liabilities and causes of action, of every nature, kind and description, in law, equity or otherwise, which have arisen, occurred or existed at any time prior to the signing of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any and all claims, liabilities and causes of action arising out of or relating to Executive’s employment, Executive’s employment agreement, grants of equity interests to Executive, and cessation of Executive’s employment with Employer.

5. Release of Employment Related Claims. Executive understands and agrees that he is waiving any and all rights he may have had, now has, or in the future may have, to pursue against any of the Releasees any and all remedies available to him under any employment-related causes of action, including, without limitation, claims for unpaid wages, wrongful discharge, breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, fraud, violation of public policy, defamation, discrimination, physical injury, emotional distress, claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Federal Rehabilitation Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, the California Family Rights Act, the provisions of the California Labor Code and any other federal, state or local laws and regulations relating to employment, conditions of employment (including wage and hour laws) and/or employment discrimination. Executive understands, however, that this Agreement does

not extend to claims that may not be released as a matter of law. In addition, Executive understands and agrees that this release does not prevent Executive from making a complaint with, contacting, or participating in an investigation with a federal governmental agency such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Labor, and the Securities and Exchange Commission, but does waive and release any claim for damages or monetary relief associated with such a complaint or communication.

6. Release of Disputed Wage Claims.

7. Release of Unknown Claims. Executive expressly waives any and all rights and benefits conferred upon him by Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, which states as follows:

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.

Executive expressly agrees and understands that the release given by him pursuant to this Agreement applies to all unknown, unsuspected and unanticipated claims, liabilities and causes of action which he may have against Employer or any of the other Releasees.

8. Entire Agreement. Executive acknowledges and agrees that no promises or representations were made to him which do not appear in this Agreement, and that this Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties on its subject matter. Executive acknowledges and agrees that he enters into this Agreement based upon his own judgment and not in reliance upon any representations or promises made by Employer or anyone acting on behalf of Employer, other than those contained within this Agreement. The parties further agree that if any of the facts or matters upon which they now rely in making this Agreement prove to be otherwise, this Agreement will nonetheless remain in full force and effect.

9. Voluntary Execution. Executive hereby acknowledges that he has read and understands this Agreement and that he signs this Agreement voluntarily and without coercion. Executive further acknowledges that he has been advised by Employer to obtain independent legal advice regarding the matters contained in this Agreement. Executive further acknowledges that the waivers he has made in this Agreement are knowing, conscious and voluntary and are made with full appreciation that he is forever foreclosed from pursuing any of the rights waived.

10. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, it will not affect the enforceability of the remaining provisions and all remaining provisions will be enforced to the extent permitted by law.

11. Modification. The parties agree that no waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by all parties affected by the waiver, amendment or modification. No waiver of any term, condition or default of any term of this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any other term, condition or default.

12. Governing Law; Venue. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS. Executive and the Company consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of, and venue in, the state courts in Orange County in the State of California (or in the event of exclusive federal jurisdiction, the courts of the Central District of California) in connection with any dispute regarding the meaning, effect, performance or validity of this Agreement or arising out of, related to, or in any way connected with Executive’s employment with the Company or services rendered hereunder.

The Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) shall apply to interpretation of this arbitration provision. The arbitrator may grant injunctions or other relief in such dispute or controversy. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties to the arbitration. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s decision in any court having jurisdiction. The parties will pay the costs and expenses of such arbitration in such proportions as the arbitrator shall decide, and each party shall separately pay his own attorneys’ fees and expenses. Executive and Employer waive any right to bring or pursue class or representative claims in arbitration. Executive understands that by signing this Agreement, Executive waives any right to bring a class, collective, or representative claim against Employer, and any arbitration will be on behalf of Executive only.

14. Time for Consideration. Executive understands that he is entitled to have 21 days’ time in which to consider this Agreement. Employer advises Executive to obtain the advice and counsel from the legal representative of his choice. Executive executes this Agreement having had sufficient time within which to consider its terms. Executive represents that if he executes this Agreement before 21 days have elapsed, he does so voluntarily, upon the advice and with the approval of his legal counsel, and that he voluntarily waives any remaining consideration period.

15. Revocation. Executive understands that after executing this Agreement, he has the right to revoke it within seven (7) days after his execution of it.
