EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Executive Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into as of May 20, 2011 by and between Xxxx X.

Certain capitalized terms in this Agreement have the meanings set forth in Appendix A attached to this Agreement, which is incorporated into this Agreement in its entirety.

1. EMPLOYMENT

The Company agrees to continue to employ Executive, and Executive agrees to continue to accept employment by the Company as its Chief Financial Officer and report to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Subject to Sections 3.3 and 3.4, changes may be made from time to time by the Company in its sole discretion to the duties, reporting relationships and title of Executive. Executive will perform the duties as are commensurate and consistent with Executive’s position and will devote Executive’s full working time, attention and efforts to the Company and to discharging the responsibilities of Executive’s position, and such other duties as may be assigned from time to time by the Company, which relate to the business of the Company and are reasonably consistent with Executive’s position. During Executive’s employment, Executive will not engage in any business activity that, in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors, conflicts with the duties of Executive under this Agreement, whether or not such activity is pursued for gain, profit or other advantage. Executive agrees to comply with the Company’s standard policies and procedures, including the Company’s Confidential Information, Inventions, Nonsolicitation and Noncompetititon Agreement previously executed by Executive, and with all applicable laws and regulations.

2. COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

The Company agrees to pay or cause to be paid to Executive and Executive agrees to accept in exchange for the services rendered hereunder the following compensation and benefits:

2.1 Annual Salary

Executive’s compensation shall consist of an annual base salary (the “Salary”) of $200,700, payable in semi-monthly installments in accordance with the payroll practices of the Company. The Salary shall be reviewed, and shall be subject to change, by the Chief Executive Officer and/or the Board of Directors (or the Compensation Committee thereof), as applicable, at least annually while Executive is employed hereunder.

2.2 Bonus And Equity Awards

Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s incentive bonus plans as may be adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors (or the Compensation Committee thereof), subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of such plans.

1

conditions of such equity awards to be determined by the Board of Directors (or the Compensation Committee thereof).

2.3 Benefits

Executive shall be eligible to participate, subject to and in accordance with applicable eligibility requirements, in such employee benefit plans, policies, programs and arrangements as are generally provided to the Company’s other similarly situated executives, which shall include, at a minimum, basic health, dental and vision insurance.

2.4 Vacation and Other Paid Time-Off Benefits

Each calendar year, Executive shall be entitled to that number of weeks of paid vacation per year equal to those provided to similarly situated executives of the Company, in accordance with the plans, policies, programs and arrangements of the Company applicable to similarly situated executives of the Company generally. Executive also shall be provided such holidays and sick leave as the Company makes available to all of its other employees.

3. TERMINATION

3.1 Employment At Will

Executive acknowledges and understands that employment with the Company is at will and can be terminated by either party for no reason or for any reason not otherwise specifically prohibited by law. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to alter Executive’s at-will employment status or obligate the Company to continue to employ Executive for any specific period of time, or in any specific role or geographic location. Except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, upon any termination of employment, Executive shall not be entitled to receive any payments or benefits under this Agreement other than unpaid Salary earned through the date of termination and unused vacation that has accrued as of the date of Executive’s termination of employment that would be payable under the Company’s standard policy.

3.2 Automatic Termination on Death or Total Disability

This Agreement and Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate automatically upon the death or Total Disability of Executive. “Total Disability” shall mean Executive’s inability, with reasonable accommodation, to perform the duties of Executive’s position for a period or periods aggregating ninety (90) days in any period of one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days as a result of physical or mental illness, loss of legal capacity or any other cause beyond Executive’s control. Executive and the Company hereby acknowledge that Executive’s ability to perform Executive’s duties is the essence of this Agreement. Termination hereunder shall be deemed to be effective (a) at the end of the calendar month in which Executive’s death occurs or (b) immediately upon a determination by the Board of Directors (or the Compensation Committee thereof) of Executive’s Total Disability. In the case of termination of employment under this Section 3.2, Executive shall not be entitled to receive any payments or benefits under this Agreement other than unpaid Salary earned through the date of termination and unused vacation that has accrued as of the date of Executive’s termination of employment that would be payable under the Company’s standard policy.

2

3.3 Termination of Employment Without Cause or for Good Reason, Other Than in Connection with a Change of Control

(a) If (1) the Company terminates Executive’s employment without Cause (as defined in Appendix A), or (2) Executive resigns for Good Reason (as defined in Appendix A), then Executive shall be entitled to receive the following termination payments and benefits; provided, however, that this Section 3.3 shall not apply to, and shall have no effect in connection with, any termination to which Section 3.2 or Section 3.4 of this Agreement applies:

(i) an amount equal to six (6) months’ Salary, at the rate in effect immediately prior to termination, payable to Executive in accordance with the terms below (“Severance Payments”);

(ii) unpaid Salary earned through the date of termination and unused vacation that has accrued and would be payable under the Company’s standard policy (collectively, the “Accrued Obligations”), payable in a lump sum on the next regularly scheduled payroll date following the date on which Executive’s employment terminated;

(iii) COBRA continuation coverage paid in full by the Company, so long as Executive has not become actually covered by the medical plan of a subsequent employer during any such month and is otherwise entitled to COBRA continuation coverage, with such payments for up to a maximum of six (6) months following the date of termination. After such period, Executive is responsible for paying the full cost for any additional COBRA continuation coverage to which Executive is then entitled;

(iv) accelerated vesting by an additional twelve (12) months of Executive’s (A) then unvested stock options to purchase securities of the Company and (B) any other then outstanding equity-based awards that vest based on continued employment or service; and

(v) an extension of the time period during which Executive may exercise Executive’s then outstanding stock options, to the extent vested on the date of termination (taking into account the accelerated vesting provided in this Section 3.3(a)), until the earlier of (A) one (1) year from the date of termination and (B) the latest date upon which such stock options would have expired by their original terms under any circumstances.

(b) As a condition to receiving the payments and benefits under this Section 3.3 other than the Accrued Obligations, Executive shall execute (and not revoke within the applicable revocation period) a general release and waiver of all claims against the Company, which release and waiver shall be in a form acceptable to the Company, and in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix B. Such release and waiver shall be delivered to the Company no later than the date specified by the Company (which date shall in no event be later than twenty-one (21) days or forty-five (45) days, as applicable, after the date on which Executive is presented with the terms of the release and waiver). In addition, payment of the amounts and benefits under this Section 3.3 are contingent on Executive’s full and continued compliance with the Company’s Confidential Information, Inventions, Nonsolicitation and Noncompetition Agreement, as the same may be amended from time to time.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, termination of employment by Executive will not be for Good Reason unless (1) Executive notifies the Company in writing of the existence of the

3

condition which Executive believes constitutes Good Reason within thirty (30) days of the initial existence of such condition (which notice specifically identifies such condition), (2) the Company fails to remedy such condition within thirty (30) days after the date on which it receives such notice (the “Remedial Period”), and (3) Executive actually terminates employment within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Remedial Period and before the Company remedies such condition. If Executive terminates employment before the expiration of the Remedial Period or after the Company remedies the condition (even if after the end of the Remedial Period), then Executive’s termination will not be considered to be for Good Reason.

(d) Subject to Section 3.3(b), Severance Payments under Section 3.3(a)(i) shall be paid to Executive through the Company’s normally scheduled payroll during the six (6) month period commencing within sixty (60) days following the date on which Executive’s employment was terminated without Cause or Executive resigned for Good Reason; provided, however, that in the event such sixty (60) day period begins in one taxable year of Executive and ends in a second taxable year of Executive, the Company shall not make any Severance Payments to Executive until the second taxable year. Each such payment shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), including the rules and regulations thereunder (“Code Section 409A”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any payments and benefits payable pursuant to Section 3.3(a) constitute a “deferral of compensation” subject to Code Section 409A (after taking into account, to the maximum extent possible, any applicable exemptions), then the applicable provisions of Section 13 hereof shall apply.

3.4 Termination of Employment in Connection with a Change of Control

3.4.1 Benefits for Qualified Terminations in Connection with a Change of Control

(a) If (1) during the period commencing on the date the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to a transaction that would constitute a Change of Control (as defined in Appendix A) and ending on the date the definitive agreement therefor is terminated or the Change of Control is consummated, the Company terminates Executive’s employment without Cause (as defined in Appendix A), (2) during the period commencing upon the consummation of the Change of Control and ending eighteen (18) months thereafter, the Company or, if applicable, the surviving or successor employer (“Successor Employer”) terminates Executive’s employment without Cause (as defined in Appendix A), or (3) during the period commencing upon the consummation of the Change of Control and ending eighteen (18) months thereafter, Executive resigns for Good Reason (as defined in Appendix A), then Executive shall be entitled to receive the following termination payments and benefits and shall not also be eligible to receive the payments and benefits under Section 3.3:

(i) an amount equal to six (6) months’ Salary, measured as the higher of the Salary in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control or the Salary in effect immediately prior to termination, payable to Executive in accordance with the terms below (“CIC Severance Payments”);

(ii) Accrued Obligations, payable in a lump sum on the next regularly scheduled payroll date following the date on which Executive’s employment terminated;

(iii) COBRA continuation coverage paid in full by the Company, so long as Executive has not become actually covered by the medical plan of a subsequent employer

4

during any such month and is otherwise entitled to COBRA continuation coverage, with such payments for up to a maximum of six (6) months following the date of termination. After such period, Executive is responsible for paying the full cost for any additional COBRA continuation coverage to which Executive is then entitled;

(iv) accelerated vesting of fifty percent (50%) of Executive’s (A) then unvested stock options to purchase securities of the Company or options to purchase comparable securities of a Successor Employer issued in substitution or replacement therefor in connection with the Change of Control and (B) any other then outstanding equity-based awards that vest based on continued employment or service; and

(v) an extension of the time period during which Executive may exercise Executive’s then outstanding stock options, to the extent vested as of the date of termination (taking into account the accelerated vesting provided in this Section 3.4.1(a)), until the earlier of (A) one (1) year from the date of termination and (B) the latest date upon which such stock options would have expired by their original terms under any circumstances.

(b) As a condition to receiving the payments and benefits under this Section 3.4.1 other than the Accrued Obligations, Executive shall execute (and not revoke within the applicable revocation period) a general release and waiver of all claims against the Company, which release and waiver shall be in a form acceptable to the Company (including any Successor Employer thereto), and in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix B. Such release and waiver shall be delivered to the Company (or any Successor Employer thereto) no later than the date specified by the Company (or any Successor Employer thereto) (which date shall in no event be later than twenty-one (21) days or forty-five (45) days, as applicable, after the date on which Executive is presented with the terms of the release and waiver). In addition, payment of the amounts and benefits under this Section 3.4.1 are contingent on Executive’s full and continued compliance with the Company’s Confidential Information, Inventions, Nonsolicitation and Noncompetition Agreement, as the same may be amended from time to time.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, termination of employment by Executive will not be for Good Reason unless (1) Executive notifies the Company (or a Successor Employer thereto) in writing of the existence of the condition which Executive believes constitutes Good Reason within thirty (30) days of the initial existence of such condition (which notice specifically identifies such condition), (2) the Company (or a Successor Employer thereto) fails to remedy such condition within thirty (30) days after the date on which it receives such notice (the “Remedial Period”), and (3) Executive actually terminates employment within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Remedial Period and before the Company (or a Successor Employer thereto) remedies such condition. If Executive terminates employment before the expiration of the Remedial Period or after the Company (or a Successor Employer thereto) remedies the condition (even if after the end of the Remedial Period), then Executive’s termination will not be considered to be for Good Reason.

(d) Subject to Section 3.4.1(b), the CIC Severance Payments under Section 3.4.1(a) shall be paid to Executive through the Company’s (or the Successor Employer’s) normally scheduled payroll during the six (6) month period commencing within sixty (60) days following the date on which Executive’s employment was terminated without Cause or Executive resigned for Good Reason; provided, however, that in the event such sixty (60) day period begins in one taxable year of Executive and ends in a second taxable year of Executive, the Company will not make any CIC Severance Payments to Executive until the second taxable year. Each such payment shall be treated

5

as a separate payment for purposes of Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any payments and benefits payable pursuant to Section 3.4.1(a) constitute a “deferral of compensation” subject to Code Section 409A (after taking into account, to the maximum extent possible, any applicable exemptions), then the applicable provisions of Section 13 hereof shall apply.

3.4.2 Code Section 280G

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that Executive becomes entitled to receive or receives any payment or benefit under this Agreement or under any other plan, agreement or arrangement with the Company, any person whose actions result in a Change of Control or any other person affiliated with the Company or such person (all such payments and benefits being referred to herein as the “Total Payments”) and it is determined that any of the Total Payments will be subject to any excise tax pursuant to Code Section 4999, or any similar or successor provision (the “Excise Tax”), the Company shall pay to Executive either (1) the full amount of the Total Payments or (2) an amount equal to the Total Payments, reduced by the minimum amount necessary to prevent any portion of the Total Payments from being an “excess parachute payment” (within the meaning of Code Section 280G) (the “Capped Payments”), whichever of the foregoing amounts results in the receipt by Executive, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of Total Payments notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Total Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax. For purposes of determining whether Executive would receive a greater after-tax benefit from the Capped Payments than from receipt of the full amount of the Total Payments, (i) there shall be taken into account any Excise Tax and all applicable federal, state and local taxes required to be paid by Executive in respect of the receipt of such payments and (ii) such payments shall be deemed to be subject to federal income taxes at the highest rate of federal income taxation applicable to individuals that is in effect for the calendar year in which the effective date of the Change of Control occurs, and state and local income taxes at the highest rate of taxation applicable to individuals in the state and locality of Executive’s residence on the effective date of the Change of Control, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes (as determined by assuming that such deduction is subject to the maximum limitation applicable to itemized deductions under Code Section 68 and any other limitations applicable to the deduction of state and local income taxes under the Code).

(b) All computations and determinations called for by this Section 3.4.2 shall be made by a reputable independent public accounting firm or independent tax counsel appointed by the Company (the “Firm”). All determinations made by the Firm under this Section 3.4.2 shall be conclusive and binding on both the Company and Executive, and the Firm shall provide its determinations and any supporting calculations to the Company and Executive within ten (10) business days after Executive’s employment terminates under any of the circumstances described in Section 3.4.1, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. For purposes of making its determinations under this Section 3.4.2, the Firm may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Code Sections 280G and 4999. The Company and Executive shall furnish to the Firm such information and documents as the Firm may reasonably request in making its determinations. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses charged by the Firm in connection with its services.

(c) In the event that Section 3.4.2(a) applies and a reduction is required to be applied to the Total Payments thereunder, the Total Payments shall be reduced by the Company in its reasonable discretion in the following order: (1) reduction of any Total Payments that are subject to Code Section 409A on a pro-rata basis or such other manner that complies with Code Section 409A,

6

as determined by the Company, and (2) reduction of any Total Payments that are exempt from Code Section 409A.

4. ASSIGNMENT

This Agreement is personal to Executive and shall not be assignable by Executive. The Company may assign its rights hereunder to (a) any Successor Employer; (b) any other corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation or other reorganization to which the Company is a party; (c) any other corporation, partnership, association or other person to which the Company may transfer all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Company existing at such time; or (d) any subsidiary, parent or other affiliate of the Company.

13. CODE SECTION 409A

The Company makes no representations or warranties to Executive with respect to any tax, economic or legal consequences of this Agreement or any payments or other benefits provided hereunder, including without limitation under Code Section 409A, and no provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to transfer any liability for failure to comply with Code Section 409A from Executive or any other individual to the Company or any of its affiliates.

8

Executive, by executing this Agreement, shall be deemed to have waived any claim against the Company and its affiliates with respect to any such tax, economic or legal consequences. However, the parties intend that this Agreement and the payments and benefits provided hereunder be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A, and the rules and regulations issued thereunder, to the maximum extent possible, whether pursuant to the short-term deferral exception described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), the involuntary separation pay plan exception described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), or otherwise. To the extent Code Section 409A is applicable to this Agreement, the parties intend that this Agreement and any payments and benefits hereunder comply with the deferral, payout and other limitations and restrictions imposed under Code Section 409A so as to avoid the imputation of any tax, penalty or interest under Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall be construed, interpreted, operated and administered in a manner consistent with such intentions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary:

(a) To the extent Code Section 409A is applicable to this Agreement, a termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(1), without regard to the optional alternative definitions available thereunder (a “Separation from Service”), and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to “terminate,” “termination,” “termination of employment,” “resigns” and like terms shall mean Separation from Service.

(b) If Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i) as of the date of Executive’s Separation from Service, Executive shall not be entitled to any payment or benefit on account of Executive’s Separation from Service, until the earlier of (1) the date which is six (6) months after Executive’s Separation from Service for any reason other than death or (2) the date of Executive’s death. The provisions of this paragraph shall only apply if, and to the extent, required to avoid the imputation of any tax, penalty or interest pursuant to Code Section 409A on Executive. Any amounts otherwise payable to Executive upon or in the six (6) month period following Executive’s Separation from Service that are not so paid by reason of this Section 13(b) shall be paid (without interest) as soon as practicable (and in all events within thirty (30) days) after the date that is six (6) months after Executive’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, as soon as practicable, and in all events within thirty (30) days, after the date of Executive’s death).

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed and entered into this Agreement effective on the date first set forth above.
