The Executive agrees that the foregoing restrictions shall apply whether or not such information is marked “Confidential”. This Section 10(a) shall not be construed as preventing the Executive from using his general skills, knowledge and expertise following a termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, in performing duties for others, so long as the Executive performs those duties without using or disclosing Confidential Information, subject to compliance by the Executive with any other agreements with the Company or any of its Affiliates to which the Executive is a party.

The term “Confidential Information” does not include information that: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Executive or any of his affiliates in breach of this Agreement; (ii) was or becomes available to the Executive on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company, its subsidiaries or their respective affiliates; provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the Company, its subsidiaries or their respective affiliates with respect to such information; (iii) is developed independently by the Executive without the use of any Confidential Information (other than in the Executive’s capacity as an officer, director, manager, employee or consultant of the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their respective affiliates); (iv) is required to be disclosed by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, administrative agency or governmental body, or by any law, rule or regulation, or by subpoena, summons or any other administrative or legal process, or by applicable regulatory standards, after notice of such requirement has been given to the Company, and the Company has had a reasonable opportunity to oppose such disclosure; provided the Executive complies with Section 10(c) below; or (v) is disclosed with the written approval of the Board.

(c) If the Executive becomes legally required (whether by deposition, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoenas, civil investigative demands or similar processes) to disclose any Confidential Information, the Executive will provide the Company with prompt notice thereof so that the Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and the Executive will, at the Company’s expense, cooperate with and assist the Company in securing such protective order or other remedy. The Executive further agrees that as between the Executive and the Company, all memoranda, disks, files, notes, records or other documents that contain Confidential Information, whether in electronic form or hard copy, and whether created by the Executive or others, that come into the Executive’s possession, shall be and shall remain the exclusive property of the Company to be used by the Executive only in the performance of his obligations hereunder.

Upon termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company (for any reason) or at any other time upon the request of the Company, the Executive (or his heirs or personal representatives, if applicable): (a) shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Company, and shall not retain for the Executive’s or anyone else’s

use, all memoranda, disks, files, notes, records, documents or other materials obtained in connection with the Executive’s employment with the Company or which otherwise relate to the business of the Company (whether or not containing Confidential Information) and shall not retain any copies thereof in any format or storage medium (including computer disk or memory); (b) purge from any computer system in his possession, other than those owned by and returned to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, all computer files which contain or are based upon any Confidential Information and confirm such purging in writing to the Company; and (c) return any other property that rightfully belongs to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including, without limitation, automobiles, computers, personal digital assistants and cellular phones, in accordance with the Company’s policy in effect from time to time.

(a) The Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the restrictions on his activities contained in Sections 10 and 11 of this Agreement and Section 13.1 of the LLC Agreement are necessary for the reasonable protection of the Company and Parent, their goodwill and are a material inducement to the Company entering into this Agreement, Parent entering into the LLC Agreement and for Parent and the Company entering into the Merger Agreement and each consummating the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and (ii) a breach or threatened breach of any such provisions will cause irreparable harm to the Company and Parent for which there is no adequate remedy at law.

(b) The Executive agrees that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of any provision contained in Section 10 or 11 of this Agreement or Section 13.1 of the LLC Agreement, the Company and Parent shall be entitled, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to the Company and Parent at law, in equity or otherwise, to a temporary, preliminary or permanent injunction or injunctions and temporary restraining order or orders to prevent breaches of such provisions and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions thereof without having to prove special damages or the inadequacy of the available remedies at law, in equity or otherwise.

(c) The parties acknowledge that the time, scope and other provisions contained in Sections 10 and 11 of this Agreement and Section 13.1 of the LLC Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect the goodwill and business of the Company, Parent and their subsidiaries and their respective affiliates.

(d) If any covenant contained in Section 10 or 11 of this Agreement or Section 13.1 of the LLC Agreement is held to be unenforceable by reason of the time or scope, such covenant shall be interpreted to extend to the maximum time or scope for which it may be enforced as determined by a court making such determination, and such covenant shall only apply in its reduced form to the operation of such covenant in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.

(e) The existence of any claim or cause of action by the Executive against Parent, the Company, their subsidiaries or any of their respective affiliates predicated on this Agreement, the LLC Agreement, the Merger Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company and Parent of any provision of Sections 10 and 11 of this Agreement or Section 13.1 of the LLC Agreement.

(f) In the event of any breach by the Executive of any of the restrictive covenants contained in Section 10 or 11 of this Agreement or Section 13.1 of the LLC Agreement, the running of the period of the applicable restriction shall be automatically tolled and suspended for the duration of such breach, and shall automatically recommence when such breach is remedied in order that Parent, the Company, their subsidiaries or any of their respective affiliates shall receive the full benefit of the Executive’s compliance with each of the covenants contained in Sections 10 and 11 of this Agreement and Section 13.1 of the LLC Agreement.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the LLC Agreement to thecontrary, in connection with the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the Company may, in its discretion, extend the Non-Compete Restricted Period (as defined in the LLC Agreement) applicable to the Executive by up to six additional months (or a lesser portion thereof) in exchange for the continued payment to the Executive during such additional period of his Base Salary plus Target Bonus as of the date of termination (which amounts shall be prorated for periods of less than one year). Any such extension shall be exercised, if at all, by the Company’s delivery of written notice to such effect to the Executive at least four months prior to the scheduled expiration of the Non-Compete Restricted Period.

(h) The provisions of Sections 10 and 11 hereof and this Section 12 are in addition to and supplement any agreements, covenants and obligations set forth in the LLC Agreement and in the event of a conflict between the provisions hereof and thereof, the provisions most favorable to Parent and the Company in any given circumstance shall apply, except as expressly set forth herein.

13. Assignment of Work Product. The Executive acknowledges that he is executing and delivering to the Company an Assignment of Work Product in the form attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

14. Representations and Warranties; Indemnity. The Executive represents and warrants to the Company that the execution and delivery of this Agreement by him and the performance by him of his obligations hereunder, shall not constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a breach or violation of a provision of any understanding, contract or commitment, written or oral, express or implied, to which the Executive is a party or to which the Executive is bound, including, without limitation, any understanding, contract or commitment with any present or former employer, in each case, that imposes restrictions that would, or would reasonably be expected to, interfere with the Executive’s ability to perform his obligations under this Agreement. The Executive hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Company in connection with any such breach or violation by the Executive of any such understanding, contract or commitment.

15. Taxes. Payment of all compensation and benefits to the Executive by theCompany shall be subject to all legally required and customary withholdings. The Company makes no representations regarding the tax implications of the compensation and benefits to be paid to the Executive under this Agreement, including, without limitation, under Section 409A (“Section 409A”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and applicable administrative guidance and regulations. It is intended that this Agreement will comply with

Section 409A and all regulations and guidance issued thereunder to the extent the Agreement is subject thereto, and the Agreement shall be interpreted on a basis consistent with such intent. All payments under this Agreement are intended to be excluded from the requirements of Section 409A or be payable on a fixed date or schedule in accordance with Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(iv). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Executive is deemed to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) and is not “disabled” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(C), no payments hereunder that are “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A shall be made to the Executive prior to the date that is six months after the date of the Executive’s “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A and any Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) or, if earlier, the Executive’s date of death. Following any applicable six month delay, all such delayed payments will be paid in a single lump sum on the earliest permissible payment date. For purposes of this Agreement, with respect to payments of any amounts that are considered to be “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A, references to “termination of employment” (and substantially similar phrases) shall be interpreted and applied in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of Section 409A. For purposes of Section 409A, the Executive’s right to receive any installment payment pursuant to this Agreement will be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments.

16. Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and the Executive consents to the assignment by the Company of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a purchaser or assignee of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or its business. The Executive may not assign any of his rights or delegate any of his duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Board (which may be granted or withheld in the Board’s sole discretion). The Company and the Executive acknowledge and agree that Parent is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement with the right to enforce the same as if a direct party hereto.

17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the LLC Agreement, and the agreements and documents referred to herein and therein, constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, arrangements, promises and commitments, whether written or oral, express or implied, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof, including, without limitation, the Management Commitment Letter dated March 6, 2015 by and among Parent, the Executive and certain other persons party thereto, and all prior agreements, understandings, arrangements, promises and commitments relating to the Executive’s employment with the Company, its subsidiaries and any of their respective affiliates are hereby canceled and terminated.

of San Diego and the United States District Court for the Southern District of California for any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, with respect to any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to the restrictive covenants set forth in this Agreement or the LLC Agreement, each party also hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. Each party agrees not to commence any action, suit or proceeding relating to such matters except in such courts. Each party further agrees that any service of process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to its address set forth herein shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding brought against it in any such court. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in such courts, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED UPON STATUTE, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER.

23. Severability. Without limiting the generality of Section 12(d), if any term or provision of this Agreement shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain enforceable and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions shall be modified so as to be valid and enforceable and shall be enforced.

24. Section Headings. Section headings are included in this Agreement for convenience of reference only, and shall in no way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

25. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

26. Number of Days. In computing the number of days for purposes of this Agreement, all days shall be counted, including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays; provided, however, if the final day of any time period falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday on which federal banks in the United States are or may elect to be closed, then the final day shall be deemed to be the next day which is not Saturday, Sunday or such holiday.

27. Enforcement of Rights; Decisions by the Board. Any and all decisions to be made by the Company in connection with enforcing the terms and provisions of this Agreement (or exercising any right or remedy hereunder) shall be made by the Board.

28. Cooperation with Regard to Litigation. The Executive agrees to cooperate with the Company, during the Term and thereafter, by being available to testify on behalf of the Company or its subsidiaries in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,

administrative or investigative, in which, in the reasonable judgment of the Company’s legal counsel, the Executive’s assistance or cooperation is needed, provided, however, that in connection with such cooperation and assistance, the Company shall attempt to accommodate the Executive’s schedule and provide him with reasonable notice in advance of the times in which his cooperation or assistance is necessary. In addition, except to the extent that the Executive has or intends to assert in good faith an interest or position adverse to or inconsistent with the interest or position of the Company or its subsidiaries, the Executive agrees to cooperate with the Company and its subsidiaries, during the Term and thereafter to assist the Company and its subsidiaries in any such action, suit or proceeding by providing information and meeting and consulting with the Board or its representatives or counsel, or representatives or counsel to the Company or its subsidiaries, in each case, as reasonably requested by the Company, provided, however, that in connection with such cooperation and assistance, the Company shall attempt to accommodate the Executive’s schedule and provide him with reasonable notice in advance of the times in which his cooperation or assistance is necessary. The Company agrees to pay (or reimburse, if already paid by the Executive) all reasonable expenses actually incurred in connection with the Executive’s cooperation and assistance including, without limitation, any actual lost wages suffered as a result of absence from employment and any reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, if any, chosen by the Executive if the Executive reasonably determines in good faith, on the advice of counsel, that the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ counsel may not ethically represent the Executive in connection with such action, suit or proceeding due to actual or potential conflicts of interests.

29. Joint Drafting. In recognition of the fact that the parties hereto had an equal opportunity to negotiate the language of, and draft, this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that there is no single drafter of this Agreement and therefore, the general rule that ambiguities are to be construed against the drafter is, and shall be, inapplicable. If any language in this Agreement is found or claimed to be ambiguous, each party shall have the same opportunity to present evidence as to the actual intent of the parties with respect to any such ambiguous language without any inference or presumption being drawn against any party.

30. Cumulative Remedies. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available, whether by contract, at law, in equity or otherwise.
