NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the Company and the undersigned hereby agree as follows:

1. Effect of the Effective Date; Services Following the Effective Date.

(a) Effective as of the Effective Date, the undersigned does hereby resign as Chief Financial Officer of the Company and all other officer and director positions with the Company and its subsidiaries, other than as a member of the Board. The undersigned shall execute such resignation letters and other instruments as may be reasonably requested by the Company or any subsidiary from time to time to evidence such resignations.

(b) From and after the Effective Date, the undersigned shall continue to serve as a member of the Board as a Class B Director, subject to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, dated July, 12, 2017 (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), and the By Laws of the Company (the “By Laws”), in each case as such instruments may be amended from time to time.

(c) From and after the Effective Date, as a non-employee member of the Board, the undersigned shall be entitled to payment and expense reimbursement pursuant to the Company’s director remuneration and

expense reimbursement policies applicable to non-employee members of the Board as in effect from time to time; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the undersigned shall not be entitled to the initial equity grant provided to newly appointed non-employee directors and the undersigned’s remuneration for 2020 shall be pro-rated based on the number of days remaining in the year from the Effective Date through December 31, 2020.

2. Treatment of Company Stock Options.

(a) The undersigned currently holds the following equity incentive awards granted to him by the Company under the Company’s 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”):

(b) As permitted under the Stock Incentive Plan, the Company and the undersigned acknowledge and agree that the resignations of the undersigned herein shall not constitute a “Termination” under the Stock Incentive Plan with respect to the Options by reason of the undersigned’s continued service to the Company as a member of the Board, with the following agreed consequences: (1) the forfeiture of the unvested portion of the Options shall not occur by reason of such resignations; (2) the unvested Options shall continue to vest during the undersigned’s continued service to the Company as a member of the Board; and (3) the obligation to exercise vested Options within a limited period of time following a “Termination” shall not be applicable during the undersigned’s continued service to the Company as a member of the Board.

(c) The Company and the undersigned further agree that, if the undersigned fails to be re-elected to the Board, or is otherwise removed as a director or resigns his position as a director on the Board and the undersigned is at that time no longer of continued service to the Company in any other capacity (the date the undersigned no longer is of service to the Company as a member of the Board or in any other capacity, the “Separation Date”), then the vested Options held by the undersigned as of the Separation Date

may be exercised for a period of two (2) years following the Separation Date or until the Options’ stated expiration date, whichever is earlier.

3. Cash Severance Payment and Continued Benefits.

(a) In consideration of the undersigned’s entry into this Agreement and the performance of his obligations hereunder, the Company shall pay the undersigned a cash severance payment of $1,700,000 (the “Severance Payment”).

The Severance Payment is intended to be in the nature of salary continuation and is being paid for the purpose of providing financial assistance to the undersigned during the period between the Effective Date and the date of commencement of employment with a future employer, and in no event shall be considered a bonus or other incentive-based payment. The undersigned shall have no obligation to mitigate the amount of the Severance Payment nor shall the Severance Payment be subject to recoupment or reduction for future wages or otherwise, other than for applicable tax withholdings.

(b) Subject to the undersigned’s enrollment in COBRA continuation coverage, the Company shall, for the 18 month period following the Transition Date or, if earlier, until the date the undersigned is no longer eligible for COBRA continuation coverage, continue the undersigned’s medical insurance coverage, as well as the insurance coverage for the undersigned’s spouse and eligible children who are currently participating in such coverage (the “Benefit Continuation”), upon the same terms and otherwise to the same extent as such coverage is provided to active employees of the Company who were similarly situated to the undersigned, and the Company and the undersigned shall share the costs of the Benefit Continuation in the same proportion as such costs are shared between the Company and active employees of the Company who were similarly situated to the undersigned. Any portion of the monthly expense of the Benefit Continuation for which the Company is responsible shall be in the form of reimbursement for the COBRA continuation premiums in accordance with the customary practice of the Company.

(c) Following the Effective Date, the undersigned shall be entitled to (x) vested employee benefits under the Company’s employee benefit plans to

which the undersigned is entitled as a former employee of the Company (provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, the benefits set forth in Section 3(a) of this Agreement are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any severance or termination benefits payable under any plan or arrangement sponsored or agreed to by the Company or of its subsidiaries), (y) reimbursement of any business expenses properly incurred prior to the Transition Date under the Company’s expense reimbursement policy and (z) any benefits (e.g., COBRA continuation coverage) to which he is entitled under applicable law.

The undersigned acknowledges that such cooperation and assistance may relate to any matter as to which the Company determines such services may be helpful, including without limitation (i) the ongoing business and affairs of the Company generally, (ii) specific matters concerning the transition of duties to the undersigned’s successors and (iii) appearing before and providing truthful and complete information to judicial, administrative, governmental or regulatory authorities in connection with any investigation and/or proceedings regarding or involving the Company and its subsidiaries.

Company on a basis not less frequently than quarterly, and the Company shall provide such reimbursement within thirty (30) days following the receipt of any such invoice.

(c) In addition to the fee referred to in Section 4(b) of this Agreement, if the Company shall, during the three months following the Effective Date, enter into one or more definitive agreements providing for the sale of a material portion of the outstanding stock or assets of the specified business of the Company set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, then, as consideration for the assistance by the undersigned in the identification, negotiation and/or execution of each such transaction, the undersigned shall, upon the closing of any such transaction, be entitled to be paid a success fee in a lump sum in cash in an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the enterprise value of the business or assets involved in such transaction (i.e., cash purchase price paid by the buyer plus (if applicable) the amount of any debt or other liabilities assumed by the buyer less (if applicable) the amount of cash or cash equivalents acquired by the buyer, as determined in good faith by the Company). Each transaction bonus shall be paid in a lump sum in cash at the closing of the transaction that creates such bonus; provided, that if any material amount of consideration is deferred (for example, due to installment payments, escrows, earnouts or similar features), the amount of the transaction bonus corresponding to such deferred payment shall be paid to the undersigned in cash if and to the extent that such deferred amount is actually paid to the Company.

5. Continued Right to Indemnification; Advancement of Expenses.

(a) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the right of the undersigned to full indemnification in respect of his service to the Company and its subsidiaries under Article SIXTH of the Certificate of Incorporation and Article VII of the By Laws, as an insured under any directors and officers liability insurance policy maintained by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or under applicable law.

The undersigned acknowledges that the undersigned has hereby received adequate notice of this immunity, such that the Company is entitled to all remedies available for violations of the Act, including exemplary damages and attorney fees. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to conflict with the Act or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by the Act.

An individual shall 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 in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.”

(a) Non-Competition. During the Restricted Period, the undersigned shall not, directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any person, company, enterprise, or entity, or as a sole proprietor, partner, shareholder, director, officer, principal, agent, or executive, or in any other capacity or relationship, engage in any Competitive Activities in any other jurisdiction in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is actively engaged in business.

ii. “Competitive Activities” shall mean any business activity that is competitive with the then current business activities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any business activities that are demonstrably planned as of the Effective Date.

iii. “Interfering Activities” shall mean (A) encouraging, soliciting, or inducing, or in any manner attempting to encourage, solicit, or induce, any Person employed by, or providing consulting services to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate such Person’s employment or services (or in the case of a consultant, materially reducing such services) with the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (B) other than the one individual separately identified to the Company concurrently herewith, hiring any individual who was employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries within the six (6) month period prior to the date of such hiring; or (C) encouraging, soliciting, or inducing, or in any manner attempting to encourage, solicit, or induce, any Business Relation to cease doing business with or reduce the amount of business conducted with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or in any way interfering with the relationship between any such Business

(d) Reasonableness of Restrictions. The undersigned hereby acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the Company’s business, that access to Confidential Information renders the undersigned special and unique within the Company’s industry, and that the undersigned has had the opportunity to develop substantial relationships with existing and prospective clients, accounts, customers, consultants, contractors, investors, and strategic partners of the Company during the course of and as a result of his employment with the Company. In light of the foregoing, the undersigned recognizes and acknowledges that the restrictions and limitations set forth in this Section 7 are reasonable and valid in geographical and temporal scope and in all other respects and are essential to protect the value of the business and assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The undersigned acknowledges further that the restrictions and limitations set forth in this Section 7 will not materially interfere with his ability to earn a living following the Effective Date.

(e) Injunctive Relief. The undersigned expressly acknowledges that, because his services are personal and unique and because the undersigned did and will have access to Confidential Information, any breach or threatened breach of any of the terms and/or conditions set forth in this Section 7 may result in substantial, continuing, and irreparable injury to the Company and its subsidiaries for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy. Therefore, the undersigned hereby agrees that, in addition to any other right or remedy that may be available to the Company in law or in equity, any of the Company or its subsidiaries shall be entitled to injunctive relief, specific performance, or other equitable relief by a court of appropriate jurisdiction in the event of any breach or threatened breach of the terms of this Section 7 without the necessity of proving irreparable harm or injury as a result of such breach or threatened breach or posting a bond and without liability should relief be denied, modified or vacated. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Restricted Period shall be tolled during any period of violation of any of the covenants in this Section 7 and during

any other period required for litigation during which the Company or any of its subsidiaries seeks to enforce such covenants against the undersigned if it is ultimately determined that the undersigned was in breach of such covenants.

(f) The undersigned further hereby acknowledges that his continued compliance with the covenants of this Section 7 is a condition of the undersigned receiving the benefits and payments described in Sections 2 through 4 of this Agreement and upon any breach of the covenants set forth in this Section 7, in addition to any other damages or equitable relief to which the Company may be entitled, the Company shall no longer be obligated to provide the undersigned any unpaid portion of the amounts and benefits described in Sections 2 through 4 of this Agreement.

8. Release. Other than the Excluded Claims, for and in consideration of the severance benefits described in Sections 2 through 4 of this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the undersigned, hereby for and on behalf of himself and his heirs, administrators, executors, and assigns, effective as of the date on which this Agreement becomes effective pursuant to its terms, does fully and forever release, remise, and discharge each of the Company and each of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, and their respective successors and assigns, together with their respective current and former officers, directors, partners, shareholders, employees, and agents (collectively, the “Group”), from any and all claims whatsoever up to the date hereof that the undersigned had, may have had, or now has against the Group, whether known or unknown, for or by reason of any matter, cause, or thing whatsoever, including any claim arising out of or attributable to the undersigned’s employment or the termination of the undersigned’s employment with the Company, whether for tort, breach of express or implied employment contract, intentional infliction of emotional distress, wrongful termination, unjust dismissal, defamation, libel, or slander, or under any federal, state, or local law dealing with discrimination based on age, race, sex, national origin, handicap, religion, disability, or sexual orientation.
