The Company also agrees to pay the premium to the third-party administrator for the maintenance of Employee’s health insurance under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) through September 2023, or until Employee becomes re- insured under a different plan, whichever occurs first. Employee must immediately notify the Company of re-insurance under a different plan. Except as set forth in this Agreement, Employee acknowledges, represents, and warrants that (a) the Company owes Employee no other wages, commissions, bonuses, vacation pay or other compensation or payments of any nature, and has made no other representations and/or commitments to Employee not set forth in this Agreement, and (b) the Company will have no other financial obligation to Employee with regard to Employee’s employment or termination. 3. General Release. a. Employee agrees to release any and all claims that Employee has or may have against the Company arising out of Employee’s employment with the Company (including Employee’s termination of employment). Employee agrees that this release includes not only the Company, but also the Company’s parents, subsidiaries, divisions, affiliates, predecessors, successors, and assigns, and its past and present officers, directors, agents, employees, counsel and insurers (the “Released Parties”). Employee understands and agrees that this release includes any and all claims of every kind and nature, whether known or unknown, actual or contingent, asserted or unasserted, arising under common law, statutory law, or otherwise that Employee has, had, now has, or may have against the Released Parties occurring up through the date Employee sign this Agreement, including, without limitation, claims arising pursuant to the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act, or any other federal, state or local statute, ordinance, or regulation regarding employment, termination of employment, or discrimination in employment as such acts may have been amended.

WAIVER OF CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542 Employee hereby expressly waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits under California Civil Code § 1542 to the fullest extent that Employee may lawfully waive such rights. Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California provides as follows: A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party. 5. Non-Disparagement. Employee agrees that Employee will not make any oral or written statement that disparages the Company or Released Parties, or is likely to be harmful to them or their business, business reputation or personal reputation; provided that Employee may respond accurately and fully to any question, inquiry or request for information when required by legal process. The Parties acknowledge that this provision is to the mutual benefit of both parties and is not intended to prohibit truthful statements or disclosures about alleged unlawful employment practices. Nothing in this agreement prevents Employee from discussing or disclosing information about unlawful acts in the workplace, such as harassment or discrimination or any other conduct that Employee has reason to believe is unlawful. 6. Rights and Claims Excluded from Release of Claims. This Agreement does not waive any rights or claims that cannot be waived by law, including rights or claims that arise after you execute this Agreement (including any sexual assault or sexual harassment dispute, as defined by the Speak Out Act), your right to file a charge with a governmental agency (such as the United States Equal Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”)), and your right to participate in any governmental agency investigation or proceeding, and your right to communicate and cooperate with any such agency. You are waiving, however, any right to recover money in connection with such charge or investigation, except that you do not waive any right to receive money properly awarded by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as a securities whistleblower incentive, if applicable. You are, however, waiving any right to recover money in connection with a charge filed by any other individual , by the EEOC, or by any other city, local, state, or federal agency (other than the SEC).

Neutral Reference. Employment references are provided by a third party and shall only include dates of employment and last position held in response to any business inquiry Employee authorizes. Employee agrees and acknowledges that the Company is not responsible for any references or information provided in response to inquiries to any other individual. 8. Restrictive Covenants. Employee agrees and acknowledges that Employee continues to be bound by any confidentiality, non-solicitation, and assignment of invention provisions or agreements that Employee has signed with the Company either prior to or during Employee’s employment (collectively, “Restrictive Covenant Agreements”), and this Agreement incorporates all such agreements by reference. 9. Confidentiality. a. Confidential Information: Employee acknowledges that during Employee’ employment Employee has learned Confidential Information relating to the business conducted and to be conducted by the Company and Employee agrees not to disclose such information to a new employer or to any other person, and Employee agrees to abide by the terms of the Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement Employee signed electronically with the new hire paperwork on August 18, 2019. Employee agrees that Employee will not at any time after Employee’s employment disclose or use or authorize any third party to disclose or use any such Confidential Information, without prior written approval of the Company. As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means all information belonging to the Company or provided to the Company by a customer that is not known generally to the public or the Company’s competitors and includes all trade secrets, client lists and information related to client files, know-how, show-how, technical, operating, financial, and other business information and materials. Confidential Information shall not include any general know-how or skills that Employee possess whether obtained through Employee’s employment at the Company or elsewhere. Confidential Information also does not include information that (i) is publicly known or becomes publicly known through no fault of Employee’s, or (ii) is generally or readily obtainable by the public. Employee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (a) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. By signing this Agreement, Employee represents and warrants that Employee has not disclosed any Confidential Information to a third party, or sent/downloaded any Confidential Information to Employee’s personal DocuSign Envelope ID: 000A3754-9164-4151-9AFE-3C318C42361C7991A2E1 EA96-49F6-B4F5-CED2ACE760B6
Page | 5 email account(s), personal computer(s), personal mobile device(s), and/or external and removable hard or thumb drives. b. Confidentiality of Agreement. Employee further understands and agrees that this Agreement and the matters discussed in negotiating the terms of this Agreement, are entirely confidential. It is therefore expressly understood and agreed by Employee that Employee will not reveal, discuss, publish, or in any way communicate any of the terms of this Agreement, and the matters discussed in negotiating the terms of this Agreement to any person, organization or other entity, except to Employee’s immediate family members and professional representatives, if any, as needed, who shall also be informed of and bound by this confidentiality clause; but in no event should Employee discuss this Agreement or its terms with any current or prospective employee of the Company. Should any of the aforementioned disclose the subject matter of this provision, then Employee will be responsible for their disclosure. Employee represents and warrants that, prior to signing this Agreement, Employee has not made any disclosures that would have been prohibited by this Agreement had they been made after the full execution of this Agreement. However, Employee understands that nothing in this Agreement precludes Employee from disclosing factual information (other than the amount of any settlement) related to any claim against Released Parties of harassment or discrimination or any other conduct Employee has reason to believe to be unlawful, or from disclosing factual information related to an administrative claim or civil action concerning sexual assault, sexual harassment, workplace harassment or discrimination, failure to prevent an act of workplace harassment or discrimination, or an act of retaliation against a person for reporting or opposing harassment or discrimination that was filed in a civil or administrative action. c. In the event that Employee believes that Employee is legally obligated by statutory or regulatory requirements (including compulsory legal process), to make such disclosures, Employee will contact the Company’s Chief Human Resources Officer and Chief Legal Officer, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, within 24 hours of receiving notice that Employee is so obligated. 10. Non-Solicitation. On behalf of herself or on behalf of any entity or person, Xxxxxxxx agrees not to, directly or in directly, solicit or encourage any Company employee to leave the Company. This section will expire two (2) years after Employee executes this agreement. 11. Return of Company Materials. No later than the Separation Date or as soon as possible thereafter, Employee represents that Employee has returned or will return to the Company, and has not retained in any form or format, all Company documents and other Company property containing Confidential Information that Employee had in Employee’s possession at any time. 12. Consideration of Medicare’s Interests. Employee affirms, covenants, and warrants Employee has made no claim for illness or injury against, nor is Employee aware of any facts supporting any claim against, the released parties under which the released parties could be liable for medical expenses incurred by the Employee before or after the execution of this agreement. Furthermore, Employee is aware of no medical expenses which Medicare has paid and for which the released parties are or could DocuSign Envelope ID: 000A3754-9164-4151-9AFE-3C318C42361C7991A2E1 EA96-49F6-B4F5-CED2ACE760B6 Page | 6 be liable now or in the future. Employee agrees and affirms that, to the best of his knowledge, no liens of any governmental entities, including those for Medicare conditional payments, exist. Employee will indemnify, defend, and hold the released parties harmless from Medicare claims, liens, damages, conditional payments, and rights to payment, if any, including attorneys' fees, and Employee further agrees to waive any and all future private causes of action for damages pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1395y(b)(3)(A) et seq. 13. Notification of Rights. a. This Agreement is intended to comply with the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (“OWBPA”) with regard to Employee’s waiver of rights under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (“ADEA”). b. Employee acknowledges and agrees that: i. Employee has read and understand this Agreement in its entirety, including the release of ADEA claims. ii. Employee was informed that Employee may consult with an attorney, at Employee’s expense. iii. Employee will have 21 days to review (including consulting an attorney) and sign this Agreement and return it via email it to xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxx.xxx.

Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. §16.22(e)(4), the Parties agree that any modifications to this Agreement, whether material or immaterial, will not restart the 21-day consideration period. iv. If Employee signs this Agreement, Employee has done so knowingly, willingly and voluntarily and under no compulsion or duress, in exchange for the separation benefits provided herein. v. The Agreement provides consideration in addition to anything of value to which Employee may be entitled independent of the Agreement. vi. This Agreement is not intended to be a waiver of claims, including claims under the ADEA, arising after the date Employee execute this Agreement. c. Employee has seven (7) days to revoke this Agreement in writing by emailing xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxx.xxx no later than the close of business on the 7th day after Employee signs. If Employee revokes this Agreement as provided in this Section, it shall be null and void and Employee will not be entitled to any of the consideration from the Company described above. If Employee does not revoke this Agreement within seven (7) days of DocuSign Envelope ID: 000A3754-9164-4151-9AFE-3C318C42361C7991A2E1 EA96-49F6-B4F5-CED2ACE760B6
Page | 7 executing it, this Agreement shall become enforceable on the 8th day after execution of this Agreement (the “Effective Date”). 14. Consultation with Counsel. Employee acknowledges that Employee has been given at least five (5) business days to consult with legal counsel of Employee’s choice regarding this Agreement. If Employee signs this Agreement prior to the end of the five business day time period, Employee acknowledges that Employee’s decision to accept such shortening of time is knowing and voluntary and was not induced by the Company through fraud, misrepresentation, or a threat to withdraw or alter the offer prior to the expiration of the reasonable time period, or by providing different terms to Employee. 15. Waiver. Neither party shall, by mere lapse of time, without giving notice or taking other action hereunder, be deemed to have waived any breach by the other party of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Further, the waiver by either party of a particular breach of this Agreement by the other shall neither be construed as, nor constitute, a continuing waiver of such breach or of other breaches of the same or any other provision of this Agreement. 16. Severability. If any of the provisions, terms or clauses of this Agreement are declared illegal, unenforceable, or ineffective, those provisions, terms and clauses shall be deemed severable, and all other provisions, terms and clauses of this Agreement shall remain valid and binding upon both parties. 17. Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement will be governed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. 18. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Restrictive Covenants Agreements incorporated by reference, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior negotiations and agreements, whether written or oral. However, nothing in this Agreement is intended to nullify any benefits already vested pursuant to the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan. This Agreement may not be altered or amended except by a written document signed by Employee and an authorized representative of the Company. 19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together constitute but one and the same agreement. Employee has the right to consult with an attorney and has been advised by the Company to do so before signing this Agreement, and this paragraph constitutes such advice in writing.
