Your bonus target (your “Target Bonus”) shall be 40% of your Base Salary actually paid for the year to which such annual bonus relates. Actual bonus payments are based on your continuous performance of services to the Company, the achievement of individual and corporate goals, and the approval of the Board or its Compensation Committee. Bonus payouts may be more or less than the targeted amount based on the before mentioned criteria. Your annual bonus will be paid between January 1 and March 15 of the calendar year following the year to which such bonus relates.

Employee Benefits: As a regular employee of the Company, you will be eligible to participate in a number of Company-sponsored benefits. In addition, you will be entitled to paid time off in accordance with the Company’s paid time off policy, as in effect from time to time. Terms and conditions of each plan or program are subject to applicable laws, regulations and policies. Should there be a conflict between a plan document and this information, the plan document will always govern. The Company reserves the right to change, alter, or terminate any benefit plan at its sole discretion.

Withholding: All amounts payable to you will be subject to appropriate payroll deductions and all required withholdings.

(iv)

As a condition to your receipt of any post-termination payments and benefits pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, you shall execute and not revoke a general release of all claims in favor of the Company (the “Release”) in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company. In the event the Release does not become effective within the 30-day period following the date of your termination of employment, you will not be entitled to the aforesaid payments and benefits.

“Accrued Obligations” means (i) any Base Salary that had accrued but had not been paid (including accrued and unpaid vacation time or paid time off) on or before the Separation Date; (ii) any incentive bonus payable to you (to the extent not previously paid) with respect to the calendar year of the Company preceding the calendar year in which the Separation Date occurs; (iii) all other amounts or benefits to which you are entitled under any compensation, retirement or benefit plan of the Company as of the Separation Date in accordance with the terms of such plans; and (iv) any reimbursement due to you for expenses reasonably incurred by you on or before the Separation Date.

Prometheus Biosciences | 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxxx, XX 00000 | main 000.000.0000 | fax 000.000.0000 | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx

perform your duties to a location outside a 35-mile radius of your principal place of employment prior to such relocation shall be considered material for this purpose); (ii) a material reduction of your base compensation, Target Bonus and/or benefits; (iii) any action or inaction that constitutes a material breach of this Agreement by the Company; or (iv) a material reduction in your authority, duties or responsibilities. You must provide written notice to the Company of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events or conditions without your written consent within 30 days of the occurrence of such event. The Company or any successor or affiliate shall have a period of 30 days to cure such event or condition after receipt of written notice of such event from you. Your termination of employment by reason of resignation from employment with the Company for Good Reason must occur within 30 days following the expiration of the foregoing 30-day cure period.

The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with, or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance with such intention. To the extent that any provision in this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with or exemption from Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner that no payments payable under this Agreement shall be subject to an “additional tax” as defined in Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, any right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. For purposes of this Agreement, all references to your “termination of employment” shall mean your “separation from service” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)) (“Separation from Service”). If you are a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code), as determined by the Company in accordance with Section 409A of the Code, on the date of your Separation from Service, to the extent that the payments or benefits under this Agreement are “non-qualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code and the delayed payment or distribution of all or any portion of such amounts to which you are entitled under this Agreement is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then such portion deferred pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid or distributed to you in a lump sum on the earlier of (a) the date that is 6 months and one day following your Separation from Service, (b) the date of your death or (c) the earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A of the Code. Any remaining payments due under this Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein.

To the extent that the payments or benefits under this Agreement are “non-qualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code, if the period during which you may deliver the Release required hereunder spans two calendar years, the payment of your post-termination benefits shall occur (or commence) on the later of (a) January 1 of the second calendar year, or (b) the first regularly-

scheduled payroll date following the date your Release becomes effective.

Any reimbursement of expenses or in-kind benefits payable under this Agreement shall be made in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv) and shall be paid on or before the last day of your taxable year following the taxable year in which you incurred the expenses. The amount of expenses reimbursed or in-kind benefits payable in one year shall not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits payable in any other taxable year of yours, and your right to reimbursement for such amounts shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.

Policies and Procedures: As a Company employee, you will be expected to abide by Company rules, policies, and regulations as they may be interpreted, adopted, revised or deleted from time to time in the Company’s sole discretion. You have previously signed an acknowledgement that you have read and understand the Company’s policies and procedures that govern the terms and conditions of your employment, including, but not limited to, the Employee Handbook and the Code of Ethical Business Conduct.

Confidential Information: You have previously executed the Company’s standard form of Employee Confidential Information and Inventions Agreement. A copy of this agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A. We understand that you may have signed similar agreements with prior employers, and wish to impress upon you that you are prohibited from using or disclosing the confidential or proprietary information of others during your employment by the Company. You agree not to bring to the Company or use in the performance of your responsibilities at the Company any materials or documents of a former employer that are not generally available to the public, unless you have obtained express written authorization from the former employer for the possession and use of such materials or documents.

Arbitration: The Company has a policy of arbitration for settlement of any dispute between employees or former employees and the Company. You have previously executed the Arbitration Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit B.

Complete Agreement: This Agreement, together with the Employee Confidential Information and Inventions Agreement and the Arbitration Agreement, contains the complete understanding and agreement regarding the terms of your employment by the Company. There are no other, different or prior agreements or understandings, written or oral, on this or related subjects, and this Agreement supersedes any such prior agreements or understandings, including, without limitation, the Original Agreement. Changes to the terms of your employment can be made only in a writing signed by you and an executive officer of the Company, although it is understood that the Company may, from time to time, in its sole
