Section 1.01 Exchange by Shareholders.

Section 1.02 Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the transactions (the “Transactions”) contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely via an exchange of documents and signatures on the fifth (5th) Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at the Closing) unless another place, time and/or date as are agreed to in writing by the Parties (the day on which the Closing takes place, the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall be deemed to have occurred and to be effective as of 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time on the Closing Date.
Section 1.03 Earnout. In addition to the issuance of the Shares at Closing, Purchaser shall issue to the Shareholders, as additional consideration for the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, additional shares of Purchaser Stock (collectively, the “Earnout Shares”) following the Closing as follows:

(b)in the event the Company’s net revenues and EBITA Percentage equals or exceeds $30,000,000 and 15%, respectively, during the Measurement Period, Purchaser shall issue or cause to be issued to the Shareholders an aggregate of 500,000 shares of Purchaser Stock;

Each Shareholder shall receive that portion of the Earnout Shares equal to the portion of the Shares received by such Shareholder calculated as of the Closing Date.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SHAREHOLDERS
Each Shareholder, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser as follows:
6
Section 2.01 Good Title. The Shareholder is the record and beneficial owner, and has good title to his or her portion of the Company Stock, with the right and authority to sell and deliver such Company Stock to Purchaser. Upon delivery of any certificate or certificates duly assigned, representing the same as herein contemplated and/or upon registering of Purchaser as the new owner of the Company Stock in the share register of the Company, Purchaser will receive good title to his or her Company Stock, free and clear of all Encumbrances.
Section 2.02 Power and Authority. The Shareholder has the legal power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform his or her obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the consummation by the Shareholder of the Transactions have been duly and validly authorized and no further consent or authorization of the Shareholder is required. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Shareholder. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Shareholder enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar Laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by equitable principles or remedies of general application.
Section 2.03 No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the performance by the Shareholder of his or her obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof: (i) will not require the consent of any third party or any Governmental Authority under any Laws; (ii) will not violate any Laws applicable to such Shareholder and (iii) will not violate or breach any contractual obligation to which such Shareholder is a party.
Section 2.04 No Finder’s Fee. The Shareholder has not created any obligation for any finder’s, investment banker’s or broker’s fee in connection with the Transactions.
Section 2.05 Investment Intent. The Shareholder is aware of Purchaser’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about Purchaser to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Purchaser Stock in connection with the Transactions. The Shareholder is acquiring the Purchaser Stock for investment for the Shareholder’s own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
Section 2.06 Investment Experience and Opportunity for Review and Advice. The Shareholder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so that the Shareholder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its ownership interest in Purchaser. The Shareholder acknowledges receipt and review of this Agreement and has had ample opportunity to seek legal or other professional advice regarding the subject of the Transactions. The Shareholder has either exercised its right to seek legal or other professional advice regarding the Transactions contemplated herein, or has knowingly waived its rights with respect to same, and chosen to proceed with the Transactions knowingly and voluntarily.
7
Section 2.07Non-Registration; Restricted Securities.
(a)The Shareholder acknowledges and understands that the Purchaser Stock to be issued to the Shareholder under this Agreement has not been registered under the Securities Act, will constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Shareholder’s investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, the Shareholder understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if the Shareholder’s representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold the Purchaser Stock for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Purchaser Stock, or for a period of one (1) year or any other fixed period in the future. The Shareholder further understands that the Purchaser Stock must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Shareholder further acknowledges and understands that Purchaser is under no obligation to register the Purchaser Stock. The Shareholder understands that the certificate evidencing the Purchaser Stock shall be imprinted with any legend required under applicable state securities Laws as set forth in Section 2.08.
(b)The Shareholder is familiar with the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, or has sought advice regarding its provisions and authority, which, in substance, permits limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
(c)The Shareholder further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption shall be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Staff of the SEC has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 shall have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. The Shareholder understands that no assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption shall be available in such event.
Section 2.08 Legends. It is understood that the certificates representing Purchaser Stock to be issued under this Agreement will bear one or all of the following legends or any legend substantially similar to the following:
(a)“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR ANY STATE OR OTHER SECURITIES LAWS. NEITHER THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION THEREOF MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION, UNLESS THE TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT.”
8
(b)Any legend required by the “blue sky” Laws of any state to the extent such Laws are applicable to the securities represented by the certificate so legended.
Section 2.09 Dissenters’ Rights. The Shareholder acknowledges that he or she has been advised by the Company that the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement are subject to Section 1300 et seq. of the California Corporations Code. In that regard, the Shareholder has approved in writing the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement and in doing so the Shareholder has forfeited his, her or its appraisal of such shares of Company Stock in accordance with the provisions of Section 1301 of the California Corporations Code.

51
7.Expenses.

8.Compensation upon Certain Terminations.
(a)Termination for Any Reason. Upon Executive’s termination of employment with the Company for any reason, Executive shall be paid (i) all accrued but unpaid Base Salary, (ii) reimbursement for reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by Executive on behalf of the Company during the period ending on the date of termination, (iii) pay for accrued, unused vacation time to the extent payable pursuant to the Company’s vacation pay policy, and
(iv) any accrued but unpaid bonus prior to the date of termination. All such amounts will be paid in the ordinary course in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement.
(b)Covered Termination. If Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated due to a Covered Termination, and Executive no later than twenty-one (21) days (forty-five (45) days in case of a group termination) executes and delivers to the Company, and does not revoke within the seven (7) days after execution, a Release as described in Section 8(c) and continues to remain in material compliance with the obligations set forth in Section 11 (provided that if the Company finds that Executive is not in material compliance with Section 11, then Executive shall have thirty (30) days to remedy such noncompliance upon receiving written notice thereof from the Company), then Executive shall be entitled to the following severance benefits, subject to Section 9:
(i)Severance Payment. A termination payment equal to one hundred percent (100)% of Executive’s annual Base Salary will be paid to Executive on the first payroll date following sixty (60) days after termination of employment;
(ii)Bonus. Payment of an amount equal to Executive’s actual earned full-year bonus for the year in which the termination of Executive’s employment occurs, prorated based on the number of days Executive was employed for the year, payable at the time Executive’s annual bonus for the year otherwise would be paid had Executive continued employment; and
(iii)Continued Benefits. For the period beginning on the Date of Termination and extending through the earlier of either (A) twelve (12) months from the Date of Termination, or (B) the first day of Executive’s active date of coverage in a group health plan maintained by a subsequent employer, if Executive timely elects COBRA, the Company shall reimburse Executive, on a monthly basis, for the same percentage of the cost of COBRA Coverage Executive incurs that the Company pays towards such coverage for active employees; all such reimbursements will be treated as fully taxable reimbursements to the extent necessary to avoid any adverse effect on the tax status of the Company’s plans under which such COBRA Coverage is provided.
(c)Release/Continued Compliance. As a condition to Executive’s receipt of any benefits described in this Section 8 (other than in Section 8(a)), Executive shall be required to (i) execute a Release (substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A) within thirty (30) days following the Date of Termination and not revoke such Release within any period permitted under applicable law, and (ii) remain in material compliance with the obligations set forth in Section 11
52
(provided that if the Company finds that Executive is not in material compliance, then Executive shall have thirty (30) days to remedy such noncompliance upon receiving written notice thereof from the Company).
9.Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it is intended that any payment or benefit which is provided pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement which is considered to be deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A shall be provided and paid in a manner, and at such time, including without limitation payment and provision of benefits only in connection with the occurrence of a permissible payment event contained in Code Section 409A (e.g., separation from service from the Company and its affiliates as defined for purposes of Code Section 409A), and in such form, as complies with the applicable requirements of Code Section 409A to avoid the unfavorable tax consequences provided therein for non-compliance. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is deemed by the Company at the time of his Separation from Service to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of the benefits to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement is required in order a failure to comply with Code Section 409A, such portion of Executive’s benefits shall not be provided to Executive prior to the earlier of (a) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of Executive’s Separation from Service or (b) the date of Executive’s death. Upon the first business day following the expiration of the applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) period, all payments deferred pursuant to this Section 9 shall be paid in a lump sum to Executive, and any remaining payments due under the Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein. For purposes of Code Section 409A (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), Executive’s right to receive any installment payments payable hereunder shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each such installment payment shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all taxable reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided by the Company under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, including, where applicable, the requirement that (i) any reimbursement shall be for expenses incurred by Executive during the period of time specified in the Agreement; (ii) any in-kind benefits must be provided by the Company during the period of time specified in the Agreement; (iii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year; and (iv) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Company or any of its officers, directors or employees be liable to Executive or any other person if any payment or benefit which is provided pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement which is considered to be deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A fails to be exempt from or comply with Code Section 409A.
10.Successors; Binding Agreement.
(a)The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Unless expressly provided otherwise, “Company” as used herein shall mean the Company as defined in this Agreement and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid.
(b)This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive and Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If Executive should die while any amount would still be payable to Executive hereunder had Executive continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Executive’s devisee, legatee or
53
other designee or, if there is no such designee, to Executive’s estate. Executive may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder.
11.Non-Competition. Executive agrees that, while Executive is employed with the Company, Executive will not, either directly or indirectly, have an interest in any business (whether as manager, operator, licensor, licensee, partner, 5% or greater equity holder, employee, consultant, director, advisor or otherwise) competitive with the Company or any of its business activities.
12.Miscellaneous.
(a)Modification or Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be modified or amended unless such modification or amendment is agreed to in a writing that specifically states the intent of both parties hereto to supplement the terms herein and is signed by Executive and an authorized officer of the Company as may be specifically designated by the Board or a committee thereof.
(b)Waiver. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.
(c)Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflicts of law principles.
(d)Statutory References. All references to sections of the Code shall be deemed also to refer to any successor provisions to such sections.
(e)Tax Withholding. Any payments provided for hereunder shall be paid net of any applicable withholding required under federal, state or local law.
(f)Section Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.
(g)Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
(h)Mutual Drafting. This Agreement shall be deemed to be the joint work product of the parties hereto and any rule of construction that a document shall be interpreted or construed against a drafter of such document shall not be applicable.
(i)Arbitration. To ensure the timely and economical resolution of disputes that may arise in connection with Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive and the Company agree that any and all disputes, claims, or causes of action arising from or relating to the enforcement, breach, performance, negotiation, execution, or interpretation of this Agreement, Executive’s employment, or the termination of Executive’s employment, shall be resolved to the fullest extent permitted by law by final, binding and confidential arbitration, by a single arbitrator, in Santa Clara County, California, conducted by JAMS under the then- applicable JAMS rules for employment
54
disputes. By agreeing to this arbitration procedure, both Executive and the Company waive the right to resolve any such dispute through a trial by jury or judge or administrative proceeding. The arbitrator shall: (a) have the authority to compel adequate discovery for the resolution of the dispute and to award such relief as would otherwise be permitted by law; and (b) issue a written arbitration decision, to include the arbitrator’s essential findings and conclusions and a statement of the award. The arbitrator shall be authorized to award any or all remedies that Executive or the Company would be entitled to seek in a court of law. The Company shall pay all arbitration fees in excess of the amount of court fees that would be required if the dispute were decided in a court of law. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to prevent either Executive or the Company from obtaining injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any such arbitration.
(j)Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
13.At-Will Employment. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall (a) confer upon Executive any right to continue in the employ of the Company, (b) constitute any contract or agreement of employment, or (c) interfere in any way with the at-will nature of Executive’s employment with the Company.

FOR AND IN CONSIDERATION OF the severance pay and benefits to be provided to me under the Employment Agreement (“Employment Agreement”) between me and United Security Specialists, Inc. (the “Company”) dated , 2022, which are conditioned on my signing this Release of Claims, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, I, on my own behalf and on behalf of my heirs, executors, administrators, beneficiaries, representatives and assigns, and all others connected with or claiming through me, hereby release and forever discharge the Company and its current and past parents, subsidiaries and other affiliates and all of their respective past, present and future officers, directors, trustees, shareholders, employees, agents, employee benefit plans, general and limited partners, members, managers, investors, joint venturers, representatives, successors and assigns, and all others connected with any of them, both individually and in their official capacities (collectively, the “Released Parties”), from any and all causes of action, rights and claims of any type or description, known or unknown, which I have had in the past, now have, or might now have, through the date of my signing of this Release of Claims, in any way related to, connected with or arising out of my employment or its termination or the Employment Agreement or pursuant to any federal, state or local law, regulation or other requirement (including without limitation Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and/or the fair employment practices statute of the state or states in which I was previously employed by the Company or otherwise had a relationship with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or other affiliates, each as amended from time to time) (collectively, the “Released Claims”). This Release of Claims shall not apply to (a) any claim that arises after I sign this Release of Claims, (b) any rights to indemnification that I may have under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or under any power that the Company may have to indemnify me or hold me harmless, (c) any claim that may not be waived pursuant to applicable law, (d) my rights to severance pay and benefits under the Employment Agreement, (e) my rights following the date hereof with respect to any equity interests I hold in the Company or any of its affiliates or (f) my rights to any vested benefits to which I am entitled under the terms of any of the Company’s benefit plans, programs, or policies, or that of the Company’s affiliates.
By signing this Release, I expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits afforded by Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, and do so understanding and acknowledging the significance of such specific waiver of Section 1542, which Section states as follows:
A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.
Thus, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542, and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge of the Released Parties, I expressly acknowledge that this Release is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all Released Claims which I do not know or suspect to exist in my favor at the time of execution hereof, and that this Release contemplates the extinguishment of such Released Claim or Released Claims.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, at no time subsequent to the execution of this Agreement will I pursue, or cause or knowingly permit the prosecution, in any state, federal or foreign court, or
B-1
before any local, state, federal or foreign administrative agency, or any other tribunal, of any charge, claim or action of any kind, nature and character whatsoever, known or unknown, which I may now have, have ever had, or may in the future have against the Released Parties, which is based in whole or in part on any matter released by this Release.
I understand that nothing in this Release limits my 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 government agency or commission (“Government Agencies”). I further understand that this Release does not limit my 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. This Release does not limit my right to receive an award for information provided to any Government Agencies.
By signing this Release of Claims, I acknowledge my understanding that I hereby knowingly and voluntarily enter into this Release of Claims with the purpose of waiving and releasing any claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 and the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA). I understand and acknowledge that I may consider the terms of this Release of Claims for up to twenty-one (21) days (or forty-five (45) days in case of a group termination) from the date I receive it and that I may not sign this Release of Claims until after the date my employment with the Company terminates. I also acknowledge that I am hereby advised by the Company to seek the advice of an attorney prior to signing this Release of Claims; that I have had sufficient time to consider this Release of Claims and to consult with an attorney, if I wished to do so, or to consult with any other person of my choosing before signing; and that I am signing this Release of Claims voluntarily and with a full understanding of its terms.
I further acknowledge that, in signing this Release of Claims, I have not relied on any promises or representations, express or implied, that are not set forth expressly in the Release of Claims. Any changes made to this agreement, whether material or immaterial, will not restart the running of the twenty-one (21) day (or forty-five (45) day in case of a group termination) period. I understand that I may revoke this Release of Claims at any time within seven (7) days of the date of my signing by written notice to the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors and that this Release of Claims will take effect only upon the expiration of such seven-day revocation period and only if I have not timely revoked it.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may engage in civic and not-for-profit activities, and serve on the boards of directors or serve as a consultant to non-competitive private or public companies; provided, however, that in each case that such activities do not materially interfere with the performance of Executive’s duties to the Company.

The Board will review annually Executive’s performance and determine an amount of increase, if any, of Executive’s Base Salary.
(b)Annual Bonus. Executive will be eligible for an annual discretionary bonus (the “Annual Bonus”). Whether any Annual Bonus will be awarded, and the amount of the Annual Bonus awarded to Executive, shall be determined by the Board its sole discretion based upon its consideration of both the Company’s performance and Executive’s performance. Since the Annual Bonus is intended both to reward past Company and Executive’s performance and to provide an incentive for Executive to remain with the Company, Executive must remain an active employee through the last day of a performance period in order to earn any such bonus. Any Annual Bonus awarded by the Board shall be paid within forty-five (45) days after the end of the calendar year.
(c)Benefit Plans. During the Employment Term, Executive and/or Executive’s family, as the case may be, shall be eligible for participation in and shall receive all benefits under benefit plans, practices, policies and programs provided by the Company (including, without limitation, medical, prescription, dental, disability, employee life, group life, accidental death and travel accident insurance plans and programs) in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of such plans and programs.

65
such greater number of days as provided for by the Company’s vacation policy as such policy may be in effect from time to time with the timing and duration of specific vacations mutually and reasonably agreed to by the parties hereto. In addition, Executive will be entitled to paid sick leave, in accordance with the Company’s standard policies for executive officers as such policies may exist from time to time and as required by applicable law, as well as to certain paid holidays in accordance with any holiday schedule as may be adopted by the Company.

All such amounts will be paid in the ordinary course in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement.
(b)Covered Termination. If Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated due to a Covered Termination, and Executive no later than twenty-one (21) days (forty-five (45) days in case of a group termination) executes and delivers to the Company, and does not revoke within the seven (7) days after execution, a Release as described in Section 8(c) and continues to remain in material compliance with the obligations set forth in Section 11 (provided that if the Company finds that Executive is not in material compliance with Section 11, then Executive shall have thirty (30) days to remedy such noncompliance upon receiving written notice thereof from the Company), then Executive shall be entitled to the following severance benefits, subject to Section 9:

(iii)Continued Benefits. For the period beginning on the Date of Termination and extending through the earlier of either (A) twelve (12) months from the Date of Termination, or (B) the first day of Executive’s active date of coverage in a group health plan maintained by a subsequent employer, if Executive timely elects COBRA, the Company shall reimburse Executive, on a monthly basis, for the same percentage of the cost of COBRA Coverage Executive incurs that the Company pays towards such coverage for active employees; all such reimbursements will be treated as fully taxable reimbursements to the extent necessary to avoid any adverse effect on the tax status of the Company’s plans under which such COBRA
66
Coverage is provided.
(c)Release/Continued Compliance. As a condition to Executive’s receipt of any benefits described in this Section 8 (other than in Section 8(a)), Executive shall be required to (i) execute a Release (substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A) within thirty (30) days following the Date of Termination and not revoke such Release within any period permitted under applicable law, and (ii) remain in material compliance with the obligations set forth in Section 11 (provided that if the Company finds that Executive is not in material compliance, then Executive shall have thirty (30) days to remedy such noncompliance upon receiving written notice thereof from the Company).
9.Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it is intended that any payment or benefit which is provided pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement which is considered to be deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A shall be provided and paid in a manner, and at such time, including without limitation payment and provision of benefits only in connection with the occurrence of a permissible payment event contained in Code Section 409A (e.g., separation from service from the Company and its affiliates as defined for purposes of Code Section 409A), and in such form, as complies with the applicable requirements of Code Section 409A to avoid the unfavorable tax consequences provided therein for non-compliance. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is deemed by the Company at the time of her Separation from Service to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of the benefits to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement is required in order a failure to comply with Code Section 409A, such portion of Executive’s benefits shall not be provided to Executive prior to the earlier of (a) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of Executive’s Separation from Service or (b) the date of Executive’s death. Upon the first business day following the expiration of the applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) period, all payments deferred pursuant to this Section 9 shall be paid in a lump sum to Executive, and any remaining payments due under the Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein. For purposes of Code Section 409A (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), Executive’s right to receive any installment payments payable hereunder shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each such installment payment shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all taxable reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided by the Company under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, including, where applicable, the requirement that (i) any reimbursement shall be for expenses incurred by Executive during the period of time specified in the Agreement; (ii) any in-kind benefits must be provided by the Company during the period of time specified in the Agreement; (iii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year; and (iv) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Company or any of its officers, directors or employees be liable to Executive or any other person if any payment or benefit which is provided pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement which is considered to be deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A fails to be exempt from or comply with Code Section 409A.
10.Successors; Binding Agreement.
(a)The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Unless expressly provided otherwise, “Company” as used herein shall mean the Company as defined
67
in this Agreement and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid.
(b)This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive and Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If Executive should die while any amount would still be payable to Executive hereunder had Executive continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Executive’s devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there is no such designee, to Executive’s estate. Executive may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder.
11.Non-Competition. Executive agrees that, while Executive is employed with the Company, Executive will not, either directly or indirectly, have an interest in any business (whether as manager, operator, licensor, licensee, partner, 5% or greater equity holder, employee, consultant, director, advisor or otherwise) competitive with the Company or any of its business activities.
12.Miscellaneous.
(a)Modification or Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be modified or amended unless such modification or amendment is agreed to in a writing that specifically states the intent of both parties hereto to supplement the terms herein and is signed by Executive and an authorized officer of the Company as may be specifically designated by the Board or a committee thereof.
(b)Waiver. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.
(c)Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflicts of law principles.
(d)Statutory References. All references to sections of the Code shall be deemed also to refer to any successor provisions to such sections.
(e)Tax Withholding. Any payments provided for hereunder shall be paid net of any applicable withholding required under federal, state or local law.
(f)Section Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.
(g)Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
(h)Mutual Drafting. This Agreement shall be deemed to be the joint work product of the parties hereto and any rule of construction that a document shall be interpreted or construed against a drafter of such document shall not be applicable.
(i)Arbitration. To ensure the timely and economical resolution of disputes that may
68
arise in connection with Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive and the Company agree that any and all disputes, claims, or causes of action arising from or relating to the enforcement, breach, performance, negotiation, execution, or interpretation of this Agreement, Executive’s employment, or the termination of Executive’s employment, shall be resolved to the fullest extent permitted by law by final, binding and confidential arbitration, by a single arbitrator, in Santa Clara County, California, conducted by JAMS under the then- applicable JAMS rules for employment disputes. By agreeing to this arbitration procedure, both Executive and the Company waive the right to resolve any such dispute through a trial by jury or judge or administrative proceeding. The arbitrator shall: (a) have the authority to compel adequate discovery for the resolution of the dispute and to award such relief as would otherwise be permitted by law; and (b) issue a written arbitration decision, to include the arbitrator’s essential findings and conclusions and a statement of the award. The arbitrator shall be authorized to award any or all remedies that Executive or the Company would be entitled to seek in a court of law. The Company shall pay all arbitration fees in excess of the amount of court fees that would be required if the dispute were decided in a court of law. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to prevent either Executive or the Company from obtaining injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any such arbitration.
(j)Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
13.At-Will Employment. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall (a) confer upon Executive any right to continue in the employ of the Company, (b) constitute any contract or agreement of employment, or (c) interfere in any way with the at-will nature of Executive’s employment with the Company.

By signing this Release, I expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits afforded by Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, and do so understanding and acknowledging the significance of such specific waiver of Section 1542, which Section states as follows:

Thus, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542, and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge of the Released Parties, I expressly acknowledge that this Release is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all Released Claims which I do not know or suspect to exist in my favor at the time of execution hereof, and that this Release contemplates the extinguishment of such Released Claim or Released Claims.

I further understand that this Release does not limit my 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. This Release does not limit my right to receive an award for information provided to any Government Agencies.
By signing this Release of Claims, I acknowledge my understanding that I hereby knowingly and voluntarily enter into this Release of Claims with the purpose of waiving and releasing any claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 and the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA). I understand and acknowledge that I may consider the terms of this Release of Claims for up to twenty-one (21) days (or forty-five (45) days in case of a group termination) from the date I receive it and that I may not sign this Release of Claims until after the date my employment with the Company terminates. I also acknowledge that I am hereby advised by the Company to seek the advice of an attorney prior to signing this Release of Claims; that I have had sufficient time to consider this Release of Claims and to consult with an attorney, if I wished to do so, or to consult with any other person of my choosing before signing; and that I am signing this Release of Claims voluntarily and with a full understanding of its terms.
