2
Termination
1.
The Employee's employment pursuant to a contract of employment with the Company dated 9 August 2011 (the Employment Contract), will terminate with immediate effect by reason of redundancy on 9 November 2012 (the Termination Date). Between the date of this Agreement and the Termination Date, the Employee will continue to perform his duties in the normal manner and comply with all reasonable and lawful directions of the Company444

3


2.
The Employee shall be paid any outstanding salary, benefit allowances and outstanding holiday pay (20 days' outstanding holiday) which have accrued up to and including the Termination Date, less normal deductions. To the extent that, as at the Termination Date, the Employee has taken in excess of his accrued holiday entitlement, or has any loans outstanding from the Company, an appropriate deduction will be made from the Employee's final salary payment. The Employee agrees and acknowledges that he has no outstanding entitlement to any bonus.
3
Payment
1.
Subject to the Employee's compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Employee the sum of £94,274 as payment in lieu of six months' notice in accordance with the Employment Contract (the PILON Payment). The PILON Payment shall be paid subject to deductions for income tax and employees' National Insurance contributions required by law.
2.
Subject to the Employee's compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Employee the sum of £30,000 as compensation for loss of employment (the Severance Payment).
3.
The PILON Payment and the Severance Payment will be paid within 14 days of the Termination Date.
4.
As further compensation for loss of employment, and without admission of liability, the Company shall, for a period of 6 months from the Termination Date continue to provide for the Employee private medical cover on the terms and conditions subsisting on the Termination Date. If the relevant scheme rules do not permit continued cover for the Employee or the scheme provider refuses to provide any benefits to the Employee, the Company shall not be liable to provide any such benefits itself or any compensation lieu thereof.
4
Tax indemnity
The Company makes no warranty as to the taxable status of the Severance Payment and any other benefits provided and accordingly the Employee undertakes that if the Company or any of its Group Companies is called upon to account to HM Revenue & Customs or similar authority in any other jurisdiction for any income tax, National Insurance contributions, social security or similar liabilities interest and/or penalties thereon (save where such interest or penalties arise as a result of the default or delay of the Company) arising in respect of the Severance Payment or any other benefits provided other than the income tax deducted under clause 3.2 (such income tax, National Insurance contributions, interest and/or penalties referred to in this Agreement as the “excess tax”), the Company shall inform the Employee without delay and offer him a reasonable opportunity at his own expense to challenge the demand. If the Company or any other company pays the excess tax to the HM Revenue & Customs or similar authority in any jurisdiction, the Employee will, at the written request of such company immediately pay to such company an amount equal to the excess tax (on an after tax basis).
5
Resignation of offices
1.
The Employee shall immediately resign as a Director of the Company and any of its Group Companies of which he is a director by delivering to the Company a letter of resignation in accordance with the draft annexed in Schedule 5, such resignations to take effect from the Termination Date.
2.
The Employee shall immediately do all such acts and things as the Company may require to effect his resignation from all other offices to which he was appointed in connection with or by reason of the Employment or any appointments with the Company or any of its Group Companies including (but without prejudice to the generality of the above) trusteeships.
3.
Subject to the rules of the policy, the Company will maintain in force on a continuing basis Directors' and Officers' Liability Insurance providing the Employee with not less than the level of cover currently in force in order to

4


protect the Company from claims in respect of the period during which the Employee was a Director or Officer of the Company or any of its Group Companies. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Employee from bringing claims against the Company or any of its Group Companies, as appropriate, in respect of any third party claims relating to his holding of any directorship or office with the Company or any Group Company.
6
Secrecy
1.
The Employee undertakes that he will not knowingly, whether directly or indirectly, make, publish or otherwise communicate any disparaging or derogatory statements, whether in writing or otherwise, concerning the Company or any of its Group Companies or any of its or their officers agents or employees.
2.
The Directors of the Company undertake that they will not, and shall use reasonable endeavours to ensure that employees, officers and agents of the Company shall not knowingly, whether directly or indirectly, make, publish or otherwise communicate any disparaging or derogatory statements, whether in writing or otherwise, concerning the Employee.
3.
Both the Employee and the Directors of the Company agree to keep the terms on which the Employment is terminated and the amount of any settlement strictly confidential and agree not to disclose, communicate or otherwise make public the same to anyone (save to professional advisers, immediate family, relevant tax authorities and otherwise as may be required to be disclosed by law) save that the Company shall publish an announcement to staff and clients in the form attached at Schedule 4.
7
Confidential Information, Intellectual Property and Covenants
1.
The Employee agrees and acknowledges that the provisions of clause 14 (Confidential Information), clause 15 (Protection of the Company's Business Interests) and clause 16 (Intellectual Property Rights) of the Employment Contract shall remain in force in accordance with their terms notwithstanding the termination of the Employment.
8
Share Options
1.
The Employee agrees and acknowledges that any entitlements under the ZELTIQ 2005 Stock Option Plan shall be dealt with in accordance with the rules of that plan provided always that, notwithstanding the rules of the plan, the Employee shall have a period of 12 months from the Termination Date to exercise his vested options held. For the avoidance of doubt there will be no acceleration of vesting of any Restricted Stock Units held by the Employee under the ZELTIQ 2011 Stock Option Plan and the Employee's entitlements shall be dealt with in accordance with the rules of that Plan.
9
Company property
1.
The Employee represents and confirms that he will return on or before the Termination Date to the Company all property, equipment, records, correspondence, documents, files and other information of any description (whether originals, copies or extracts) belonging or licensed to the Company or any of its Group Companies save that which it has been previously agreed by email dated 19th October 2012 that he may retain and that he has not retained any copies and that he has deleted irretrievably any information relating to the business of the Company on any magnetic or optical disk or memory which is in his possession or control outside the premises of the Company.

Should the Company obtain information after the date of this Agreement, the facts of which would have amounted to a repudiatory breach of the terms of the Employment Contract by the Employee and as a result of which the Company would not have agreed to provide a reference in the form of Schedule 3, the Company will inform the Employee, and may decline to give a reference in the form in Schedule 3.
12

Warranty

2.
As at the date of this Agreement, the Employee warrants and represents that there are no circumstances of which the Employee is aware or of which the Employee ought reasonably to be aware which would amount to a repudiatory breach by the Employee of any express or implied term of the Employment which would (or would have) entitled the Company to terminate the Employment without notice or payment in lieu of notice and payment of the PILON Payment and the Severance Payment are conditional upon this being so.
3.
The Employee warrants that he will on the request of the Company or any Group Company, assist it or them in any threatened or actual litigation concerning it or them where he has in his possession or knowledge any facts or other matters which the Company or any Group Company reasonably considers is relevant to such legal proceedings (including but not limited to giving statements/affidavits, meeting with the legal and other professional advisers and attending any legal hearing and giving evidence in person on behalf of the Company or any Group
