In the event that Executive executes this Agreement in less time, it is with the full understanding that Executive had the full five (5) business days if Executive so desired and that Executive's decision to accept such shortening of time is knowing and voluntary and is 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 employees who sign such an agreement prior to the expiration of such time period.

c.Executive has no knowledge of the existence of any lawsuit, charge, or proceeding against the Company, the Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, board members, committee members, employees, successors, affiliates, or agents arising out of or otherwise connected with any of the matters herein released.

d.Executive understands that nothing contained in this Agreement limits Executive's ability 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 governmental agency or commission ("Government Agencies"). Executive further understands that this Agreement does not limit Executive's 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. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to prevent Executive from disclosing factual information related to a claim filed in civil court or complaint filed with an administrative agency relating to an act of sexual assault, an act of harassment, discrimination, or retaliation under the FEHA, including claims based on race, sexual orientation, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, disability, medical condition, and age, the failure to prevent an act of such harassment or discrimination, or an act of retaliation against a person for reporting harassment or discrimination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive waives any right to any monetary recovery or other relief should any party, including, without limitation, any federal, state or local governmental entity or administrative agency, pursue any claims on Executive's behalf arising out of, relating to, or in any way connected with the Released Claims, provided, however, this Agreement does not limit Executive's right to receive a reward for information provided to any Government Agencies.

In such event, Executive expressly intends such execution to be a waiver of any right Executive had to review the Agreement for a full twenty-one (21) days.

Otherwise, in response to inquiries about Executive’s employment and this matter, Executive shall state, “My employment with the Company has ended” and nothing more.

b.For the purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means all information, data, knowledge, and know-how relating, directly or indirectly, to the Company or the Affiliates and their businesses, including, without limitation: (a) business plans and strategies, prospect information, financial information, investment plans, marketing plans and strategies, financial plans and strategies; (b) confidential personnel or human resources data; (c) customer lists, customer information, pricing information, supplier/vendor lists, customer and supplier/vendor strategies and plans, contracts, agreements, and leases; (d) any other information having present or potential commercial value; (e) the whole or any portion or phase of any proprietary information or trade secrets; (f) ideas, methods, know-how, techniques, systems, processes, software programs, works of authorship, projects, or plans; and (g) confidential information of any kind in possession of the Company or the Affiliates, whether developed for or by the Company or the Affiliates (including information developed by Executive), received from a third party in confidence, or belonging to others and licensed or disclosed to the Company or the Affiliates in confidence for use in any aspect of their businesses. Any Intellectual Property (defined below) that is not publicly available shall also constitute part of the Confidential Information. The list set forth above is not intended by the Company to be a comprehensive list of Confidential Information. All Confidential Information shall be treated as Confidential Information regardless of whether it pertains to the Company, its Affiliates, or their customers and regardless of whether it is marked or designated as “confidential.” For purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information shall not include general industry knowledge, information that is publicly available (other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement), or information that becomes available to Executive on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company, provided, however, that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement or other obligation with respect to confidentiality.

(A)Executive acknowledges that the success of the Company and the Affiliates depends in large part on the protection of the Confidential Information. Executive further acknowledges that in the course of Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive had knowledge of the Company’s and the Affiliates’ Confidential Information. Executive recognizes and acknowledges that the Confidential Information is a valuable, special and unique asset of the Company’s and the Affiliates’ businesses.

Page 5 of 9

Confidential Information in any way relating to the Company’s or the Affiliates’ business and affairs, whether created by Executive or otherwise coming into Executive’s possession before, during, or after the termination of Executive’s employment. Executive shall secure and protect the Confidential Information in a manner designed to prevent all access and uses thereof contrary to the terms of this Agreement.

c.18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) provides: “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—(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.” Nothing in this Agreement is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b). Accordingly, the parties to this Agreement have the right to disclose in confidence trade secrets to federal, state, and local government officials, or to an attorney, for the sole purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law. The parties also have the right to disclose trade secrets in a document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, but only if the filing is made under seal and protected from public disclosure.

a.Executive hereby assigns to the Company, or its designee, all of Executive’s right, title, and interest in and to all Intellectual Property, except where prohibited by law, so that the Company is the exclusive owner of the Intellectual Property. Executive further acknowledges that all original works of authorship made by Executive (solely or jointly with others) in connection with, within the scope of, and during the period of Executive’s employment with the Company or association with the Affiliates and which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act, and that such works made for hire shall constitute part of the Intellectual Property that shall be exclusively owned by the Company. Executive understands and agrees that the decision whether to commercialize or market any Intellectual Property is within the Company’s sole discretion and for the Company’s sole benefit and that no royalty will be due to Executive as a result of the Company’s efforts to commercialize or market any such Intellectual Property. Executive understands and agrees that Executive shall have no right to use, commercialize, or market any Intellectual Property.

b.Executive agrees to assist the Company, or its designee, at the Company’s expense, in every proper way to secure or enforce the Company’s and the Affiliates’ rights in any Intellectual Property. In the event the Company is unable for any reason, after reasonable effort, to secure signature on behalf of Executive on any document needed for the actions specified in this paragraph, Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as Executive’s agent and attorney-in-fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to act for and in Executive’s behalf to execute, verify, and file any such documents, and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of this paragraph with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Executive. Executive hereby waives and quitclaims to the Company any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, which Executive now or may hereafter have for infringement or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property assigned to the Company under this Agreement. Executive agrees to keep and maintain adequate and current records of all Intellectual Property made by Executive (solely or jointly with others).

c.Executive warrants and represents that there are no original works of authorship, developments, concepts, improvements, designs, discoveries, ideas, trademarks, service marks, or trade secrets, or inventions which were made or acquired by Executive in connection with Executive’s employment by the Company or association with the Affiliates, which relate to the Company’s or the Affiliates’ businesses or proposed businesses, or which were shared by Executive with the Company or used by Executive while working with the Company or being associated with the Affiliates, and which are not assigned to the Company under this Agreement.
