The Initial Term and any Renewal Period(s) shall collectively be referred to as the “Term”.  For purposes of this Agreement, the “Completion Date” shall be defined as the Executive’s actual final date of employment and shall coincide with the Executive’s “Separation from Service” as such term is defined in Section 8.13.

(b)If a termination of this Agreement covered by this Section 4.4.2 is contingent upon a change in ownership or effective control of Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations thereunder (collectively, a “280G Event”)), then Executive shall receive the greater on a net-after tax basis of: (i) the compensation and benefits otherwise payable under Section 4.4.2(a) , or (ii) the Alternative Payment (as defined below). For purposes of this Agreement, “Alternative Payment” means a lump sum payment made by Company to Executive as provided in Section 4.4.5, in immediately available funds in an amount equal to the product of 2.99 (or, if Code Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(ii) is amended providing for a multiple other than 3, then the multiple as amended, less 0.01) multiplied by Executive’s “base amount” (as defined in Code Section 280G(b)(3)); reduced by the value of acceleration of any equity, stock options and incentive compensation accelerated hereunder under Section 4.4.2(a) or the value of other payment contingent upon the 280G Event that is not described in Section 4.4.2(a) above, in each case as valued and determined under Code Section 280G and the regulations thereunder.  Payments to Executive upon termination of this Agreement under this Section  4.4.2 shall be subject to mitigation as provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.280G-1 Q&A 42(c)(5).  The value (as determined under Code Section 280G and the regulations thereunder) of acceleration of vesting of equity, stock options and incentive compensation and any other amount granted by the Company to Executive shall be taken into account to the minimum extent necessary so as not to violate Treasury Regulations Section 1.280G-1 Q&A 42(c).  Rules governing the determination and calculation of the Alternative Payment are set forth in Exhibit A, which shall be enforceable as if set forth in this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intention of the parties that the Alternative Payment in no event shall be subject to the 20% excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”).

​

Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Restated Employment Agreement

6.2.1“(a) Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer's equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those inventions that either: (1) Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer's business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the employer; or (2) Result from any work performed by the employee for the employer.

6.2.2(b) To the extent a provision in an employment agreement purports to require an employee to assign an invention otherwise excluded from being required to be assigned under subdivision (a), the provision is against the public policy of this state and is unenforceable."

6.3Executive acknowledges that he has been notified by the Company of this law, and understands that this Agreement does not apply to Property which is otherwise fully protected under the provisions of said Labor Code Section 2870.  Therefore, Executive agrees to promptly disclose in writing to the Company all Property, whether or not Executive personally considers it patentable, which Executive alone, or with others, conceives or makes during his employment with Company or as is otherwise required and set forth under this Section 6.2.  Company shall hold said information in strict confidence to determine the applicability of California Labor Code Section 2870 to said Property and, to the extent said Section 2870 does not apply, Executive hereby assigns and agrees to assign all his right, title and interest in and to the Property which relates to business of the Company and Executive agrees not to disclose any of such Property to others without the prior written express consent of Company.  Executive agrees to notify Company in writing prior to making any disclosure or performing any work during the term of his employment with Company which may conflict with any proprietary rights or technical know-how claimed by Executive as his property.  In the event Executive fails to give Company notice of such conflict, Executive agrees that Executive shall have no further right or claim with respect to any such conflicting proprietary rights or technical know-how.

7.EQUITABLE REMEDIES.  The parties hereto intend that the covenants contained in Sections 5 and 6 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws of the State of California.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that his breach of any provision of Sections 5 and 6 will result in irreparable harm and injury to the Company, and further acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any such breach it would be extremely difficult to fix or assess actual damages resulting therefrom.  In addition to any other remedy that may be available to the Company at law or in equity, the Company shall be entitled, from any court of competent jurisdiction, to a decree of specific performance and to a temporary and permanent injunction enjoining and restricting the breach, or a threatened breach, by Executive of any such provision of this Agreement.

8.8Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement, as applied to any party or to any circumstance, shall be found by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be void, invalid or unenforceable, the same shall in no way affect any other provision of this Agreement, the application of any such provision in any other circumstance, or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, and any provision which is found to be void, invalid or unenforceable shall be curtailed and limited only to the extent necessary to bring such provision within the requirements of the law.

8.9Headings.  Titles or captions contained herein are inserted as a matter of convenience and for reference, and in no way, define, limit, extend or describe the scope of this Agreement or any provision thereof.  No provision in this Agreement is to be interpreted for or against either party because that party or its legal representative drafted such provision.

8.10Further Assurances.  Each party agrees to execute and acknowledge such other instruments as may be reasonably necessary to effect the transactions contemplated herein.

8.11Remedies Cumulative.  All remedies shall be cumulative and pursuit of any one shall not waive any other.

8.12Waiver.  No waiver by any party at any time of any breach by any other party of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of the Agreement to be performed by any other party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provisions or conditions at the same time or at any prior or subsequent time.

8.13Application of Section 409A.  To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Agreement comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”).  This Agreement shall be administered in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause the Agreement to fail to satisfy Section 409A shall have no force and effect until amended by the parties to comply with Section 409A (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A).  Unless otherwise expressly provided, any payment of compensation by the Company to Executive, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, shall be made no later than the 15th day of the third month (i.e., 2½ months) after the later of the end of the calendar year or the Company’s fiscal year in which Executive’s right to such payment vests (i.e., is not subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” for purposes of Code Section 409A).  For purposes of this Agreement, “Separation from Service” shall have the meaning given to such term under Section 409A. Each payment and each installment of any severance payments provided for under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of application of Section 409A.  To the extent that any severance payments come within the definition of “short term deferrals” or “involuntary severance” under Section 409A, such amounts shall be excluded from “deferred compensation” as allowed under Section 409A, and shall not be subject to the following Section 409A compliance requirements.  All payments of “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A) are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, and shall be interpreted in accordance therewith. Neither party individually or in combination may accelerate, offset or assign any such deferred payment, except in compliance with Section 409A.  No amount shall be paid prior to the earliest date on which it is permitted to be paid under Section 409A and Executive shall have no discretion with respect to the timing of payments except as permitted under Section 409A.  Any payments to which Section 409A applies which are subject to execution of a waiver and release which may be executed and/or revoked in a calendar year following the calendar year in which the payment event (such as Separation from Service) occurs shall commence payment only in the calendar year in which the release revocation period ends if necessary to comply with Section 409A. In the event that Executive is determined to be a “key

employee” (as defined and determined under Section 409A) of the Company at a time when its stock is deemed to be publicly traded on an established securities market, payments determined to be “nonqualified deferred compensation” payable upon Separation from Service shall be made no earlier than (i) the first day of the seventh (7th) complete calendar month following such termination of employment, or (ii) Executive’s death, if required and consistent with the provisions of Section 409A.  Any payment delayed by reason of the prior sentence shall be paid out in a single lump sum at the end of such required delay period in order to catch up to the original payment schedule.  All expense reimbursement or in-kind benefits subject to Section 409A provided under this Agreement or, unless otherwise specified in writing, under any Company program or policy, shall be subject to the following rules to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A: (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided during one calendar year may not affect the benefits provided during any other year; (ii) reimbursements shall be paid no later than the end of the calendar year following the year in which Executive incurs such expenses, and Executive shall take all actions necessary to claim all such reimbursements on a timely basis to permit the Company to make all such reimbursement payments prior to the end of said period, and (iii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no amendment may be made to this Agreement if it would cause the Agreement or any payment hereunder not to be in compliance with Section 409A.

8.14Attorneys Fees.  Should any litigation or arbitration occur between the parties relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs in connection with such litigation, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, unless otherwise prohibited by statute or other applicable law, up to but not to exceed one hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($150,000) which shall be due and payable no later than sixty (60) days following the date such judgment is entered.  Any judgment shall include an attorneys’ fees clause that shall entitle the judgment creditor to recover attorneys’ fees incurred to enforce a judgment on this Agreement, which attorneys’ fees shall be an element of post-judgment costs.  In addition to the recovery of the fee provision above, if any party incurs costs in collecting any amounts due and payable under this Agreement, the collecting party shall be entitled to recover from the paying party the full amount of all such costs (limited only by reasonability) and such costs shall be added to, and made part of, the principal amount due and owing.

8.15Arbitration.

8.15.1Any claim, dispute, or controversy between the Executive and the Company (which, for this purpose, shall include including any of the Company’s partners, affiliated companies, successors, assigns, owners, directors, officers, shareholders, employees, managers, members and agents), including without limitation, those arising out of or relating to this Agreement, Executive’s employment with the Company or the termination thereof shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not be subject to mandatory arbitration pursuant to this provision: (i) applications by any Party for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in aid of arbitration or for the maintenance of the status quo pending arbitration; (ii) claims for workers’ compensation benefits; (iii) claims for unemployment insurance compensation benefits; (iv) to the extent required by law, administrative claims or charges before applicable federal and state administrative agencies (such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or comparable state agency, and any unfair labor charge which is to be brought under the NLRA); and (v) claims that may not be subject to pre-dispute mandatory arbitration agreements, such as claims for sexual harassment or sexual assault to the extent Executive determines that Executive would prefer to proceed in a court of law.  Further, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to

​

12

Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Restated Employment Agreement

the extent permitted by applicable law and applicable JAMS rules and standards without invalidating this arbitration provision, either Party shall be entitled to a court action for temporary equitable relief in accordance with Section 8.6.

8.15.2To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Parties agree that any claim each brings may not be initiated, maintained, heard or determined on a class action, collective action, or representative action basis either in court or in arbitration, and that each is not entitled to serve or participate as a class, collective or representative action member or representative or to receive any recovery from a class, collective or representative action involving a claim against the other Party either in court or in arbitration.  Any claim brought by one Party may not be joined or consolidated with any other claim that does not involve precisely the same parties.  If a Party is included within any class action, collective action, or representative action in court or in arbitration involving a claim against the other Party, such Party will take all steps necessary to opt-out of the action or refrain from opting in, as the case may be.  Insofar as any claim between the Parties is permitted to proceed on a class action, collective action, or representative action basis, notwithstanding this Section, it must do so in court pursuant to Section 8.6.

8.15.3The arbitration process shall be confidential and private and administered by JAMS pursuant to its Employment Arbitration Rules & Procedures in effect at the time the dispute is submitted (the “Arbitration Rules”), which can be found at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx, a copy of which will be provided to Executive upon Executive’s request.  Claims must be submitted to JAMS for arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Rules for commencing an arbitration, and within the applicable statute of limitations. The arbitration shall be conducted on a strictly confidential basis, and Executive shall not disclose the existence or nature of any claim or defense; any documents, correspondence, pleadings, briefing, exhibits, arguments, testimony, evidence, or information exchanged or presented in connection with any claim or defense; or any rulings, decisions, or results of any claim or defense (collectively, “Arbitration Materials”) to any third party, with the sole exception of Executive’s legal counsel, whom Executive shall ensure complies with these confidentiality terms, and the arbitrator. The Parties may file and the arbitrator shall hear and decide at any point in the proceedings any motion permitted by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, including but not limited to motions to compel discovery, motions for protective orders, motions to dismiss, motions for summary judgment, and motions in limine.  In addition, the arbitration shall be subject to the same burdens of proof and statutes of limitations as if the claim at issue was being heard in the federal or state court provided by Section 8.6 above.  The arbitration proceedings will be held before a single, neutral arbitrator in or close to Los Angeles County, California.  The fees of the arbitrator and all other costs that are unique to the arbitration process shall be paid by the Company to the extent required by law. Each party shall be solely responsible for paying his/her/its own costs for the arbitration, including, but not limited to attorneys’ fees.  The arbitrator shall have the authority to award any damages or relief authorized by law, except the arbitrator shall have no authority to award any punitive or exemplary damages and the Parties waive, to the full extent permitted by law, any right to recover such damages in such arbitration. The award of the arbitrator shall be in writing and shall contain the arbitrator’s factual findings, legal conclusions and reasons for the award.  The award may be entered as a judgment in any court with jurisdiction over either Executive or the Company.  Either Party may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration under this Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award and to vacate an arbitration award.  However, in actions seeking to vacate an award, the standard of review to be applied by said court to the arbitrator’s findings of fact and conclusions of law will be the same as that applied by an appellate court reviewing a decision of a trial court sitting without a jury.  The Parties agree to take all steps necessary to protect the confidentiality of the Arbitration Materials in connection with any court proceeding,

​

13

Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Restated Employment Agreement

agree to use their reasonable best efforts to file any court proceeding permitted herein and all Confidential Information (and all documents containing Confidential Information) under seal, and agree to the entry of an appropriate protective order encompassing the confidentiality terms of this Agreement.  To the extent any of the terms, conditions or requirements of this Agreement conflict with the Arbitration Rules, the terms, conditions or requirements of this Agreement shall govern.

8.15.4Notwithstanding any provision of the Arbitration Rules to the contrary, any issue concerning the validity or enforceability of any of the class action, collective action, and representative action waivers contained in this Agreement (“Waivers”) shall be governed by and determined under and in accordance with the FAA and shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to Section 8.7.  Any issue concerning arbitrability of a particular issue or claim pursuant to this Agreement (except for issues concerning the validity or enforceability of any of the Waivers) must be resolved by the arbitrator, not the court.  The Parties understand that by agreeing to arbitration, they are giving up their right to a trial in a court of law.

8.16Clawback Policy.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any incentive compensation plan, program or arrangement sponsored by the Company, all incentive or performance based compensation shall be subject to reduction or repayment by reason of a restatement of the Company’s financial statements if and to the extent such reduction or repayment is required by any applicable law or the Company’s policy regarding clawbacks.

8.17Limitation on Remedies.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement is being executed voluntarily, knowingly and without duress.  Executive’s exclusive remedy against the Company in the event the Company materially breaches this Agreement shall be to invoke the provisions of Section 4.3.1 and Section 4.4 hereof.  If Executive brings a claim based on breach of the Company’s obligation to provide any of the benefits and compensation promised to him in this Agreement, and it is determined that the Company breached such obligation, the amount of any award to Executive shall not exceed the amounts provided under Section 4.4 and, except as specifically provided in Sections 4.4.2 and 8.13, shall not be reduced by alternative income or benefits he receives before or after his separation from the Company, nor shall he otherwise be required to mitigate his damages based on breach of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT A

TO THE EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

SECTION 280G RULES

1. The following rules shall apply for purposes of determining the amounts payable under Section 4.4.2(b) of the Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, in the event there is a conflict between the terms of any agreement relating to payments of amount payable in the event of a 280G Event (including, but not limited to any equity, stock options and incentive compensation agreements) and this Agreement, the terms of the Agreement (including this Exhibit A) shall prevail.

2. Whether the payment under Section 4.4.2(b)(1) is greater than the amount of the Alternative Payment under Section 4.2.2(b)(2) shall be determined on a net after-tax basis after taking into account the Excise Tax, if any, on the amounts described in Section 4.4.2(b)(1) and the amount of all applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes that would be payable by the Executive with respect to amounts described in Section 4.2.2 calculated at the highest marginal income tax rate for each year in which the foregoing shall be paid to the Executive (based on the rate in effect for such year as set forth in the Code as in effect at the time of the first payment of the foregoing).

3. All determinations under Section 4.4.2(b) of the Agreement and this Exhibit A will be made by an accounting firm or law firm that is selected for this purpose by the Company prior to a 280G Event  (the “280G Firm”). All fees and expenses of the 280G Firm shall be borne by the Company. The Company will direct the 280G Firm to submit any determination it makes under Section 4.4.2(b) of this Agreement and this Exhibit A and detailed supporting calculations to both the Executive and the Company as soon as reasonably practicable.

4. If the 280G Firm determines that the Alternative Payment is to be made under Section 4.4.2(b)(2) and one or more reductions are required under it to avoid the Excise Tax, the 280G Firm shall also determine which payments shall be reduced (first from cash payments and then from non-cash benefits) to the extent necessary so that no portion thereof shall be subject to the Excise Tax, and the Company shall pay such reduced amount to the Executive. The 280G Firm shall make reductions required under Section 4.4.2(b) of this Agreement in a manner that maximizes the net after-tax amount payable to the Executive.

5. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 280G at the time that the 280G Firm makes its determinations under Section 4.4.2(b)(2) of this Agreement, it is possible that amounts will have been paid or distributed to the Executive that should not have been paid or distributed (collectively, the “Overpayments”), or that additional amounts should be paid or distributed to the Executive (collectively, the “Underpayments”). If the 280G Firm determines, based on either the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against the Company or the Executive, which assertion the 280G Firm believes has a high probability of success or controlling precedent or substantial authority, that an Overpayment has been made, the Executive must repay to the Company the Overpayment. If the 280G Firm determines, based upon controlling precedent or substantial authority, that an Underpayment has occurred, the 280G Firm will notify the Executive and the Company of that determination and the amount of that Underpayment will be paid to the Executive promptly by the Company.

​

​

​

6. The Executive will provide the 280G Firm access to, and copies of, any books, records, and documents in the Executive’s possession as reasonably requested by the 280G Firm, and otherwise cooperate with the 280G Firm in connection with the preparation and issuance of the determinations and calculations contemplated by Section 4.4.2(b) of the Agreement and this Exhibit A.
