Any such bonus payment shall be deemed earned upon the fulfillment of targets and your continued employment through the bonus payment date, and shall be paid within a reasonable period of time, but not later than 45 days, after the end of the fiscal half.

ii)
There is consummated a sale, lease, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, other than a sale, lease, license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries to an entity, more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned by stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such sale, lease, license or other disposition.

A transaction that does not constitute a change in control event under U.S. Treasury Regulation 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v) or (vii) will not be considered a Change in Control for purposes of this letter agreement.
9)
CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE BENEFITS. If, within 12 months following a Change in Control, your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause, or by you for Good Reason; and you sign, date, return to the Company and allow to become effective a release of all claims in a form satisfactory to the Company in its sole discretion (the “Release”); then in lieu of any Severance Benefits set forth in Section 10 herein, you shall be entitled to receive the following severance benefits (the “Change in Control Severance Benefits”); provided that you must execute and return the Release on or before the date specified by the Company in the prescribed form (the “Release Deadline”).  The Release Deadline will in no event be later than fifty (50) days after your employment is terminated.  If you fail to return the Release on or before the Release Deadline, or if you revoke the Release, then you will not be entitled to the benefits described in this Section 9.  The severance payments will commence within sixty (60) days after your employment is terminated and, once they commence, will include any unpaid amounts accrued from the date your employment is terminated.  However, if the sixty (60) day period described in the preceding sentence spans two calendar years, then the payments will in any event begin in the second calendar year.
a)
Accelerated Vesting. All unvested stock options and restricted stock units referred to herein and any subsequent grants of stock options, restricted stock units or any other equity awards granted under current or future plans shall become fully vested upon the closing of a Change in Control of the Company;

COBRA Benefits. If you timely elect and continue to remain eligible for continued group health insurance coverage under federal COBRA law or, if applicable, state insurance laws (collectively, “COBRA”), the Company will pay your COBRA premiums sufficient to continue your group health insurance coverage at the same level in effect as of your employment termination date (including dependent coverage, if applicable) for twelve (12) months after the employment termination date; provided that, the Company’s obligation to pay your COBRA premiums will cease earlier if you become eligible for group health insurance coverage through a new employer and you must provide prompt written notice to the Company if you become eligible for group health insurance coverage through a new employer within twelve (12) months after your employment termination date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that it cannot provide the foregoing benefit without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Services Act), the Company shall instead provide you a taxable monthly payment in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that you would otherwise be required to pay to continue your group health coverage in effect from the date of your termination of employment, which payments shall be made regardless of whether you elect COBRA continuation coverage and shall end on the earlier of (x) the date on which you obtain other employment and (y) twelve (12) months after your employment termination date.
10)
SEVERANCE BENEFITS. If, at any time other than during the twelve (12) month period following a Change in Control, your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause, or by you for Good Reason; and if you sign, date, return to the Company and allow to become effective the Release; then you shall be entitled to receive the following severance benefits (the “Severance Benefits”); provided that you must execute and return the Release on or before the Release Deadline. If you fail to return the Release on or before the Release Deadline, or if you revoke the Release, then you will not be entitled to the benefits in this Section 10. The severance payments will commence within sixty (60) days after your employment is terminated and, once they commence, will include any unpaid amounts accrued from the date your employment is terminated.  However, if the sixty (60) day period described in the preceding sentence spans two calendar years, then the payments will in any event begin in the second calendar year.
a)
Severance Pay. You will be eligible to receive severance pay in the total amount equal to the sum of (i) twelve (12) months of your base salary in effect as of the employment termination date, and (ii) the full amount of your annual performance bonus at target, and (iii) the prorated amount of your annual performance bonus at target for the year in which the termination occurred. The severance pay will be subject to required payroll deductions and withholdings, and will be paid in twenty-six (26) equal installments over a period of twelve (12) months, with such payments made on the Company’s normal payroll schedule; and
b)
COBRA Benefits. If you timely elect and continue to remain eligible for COBRA, the Company will pay your COBRA premiums sufficient to continue your group health insurance coverage at the same level in effect as of your employment termination date (including dependent coverage, if applicable) for twelve(12) months after the employment termination date; provided that, the Company’s obligation to pay your COBRA premiums will cease earlier if you become eligible for group health insurance coverage through a new employer and you must provide prompt written notice to the Board if you become eligible for group health insurance coverage through a new employer within twelve(12) months after your employment termination date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that it cannot provide the foregoing benefit without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Services Act), the Company shall instead provide you a taxable monthly payment in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that you would otherwise be required to pay to continue




your group health coverage in effect from the date of your termination of employment, which payments shall be made regardless of whether you elect COBRA continuation coverage and shall end on the earlier of (x) the date on which you obtain other employment and (y) six(6) months after your employment termination date.
11)
CONDITIONS TO ELIGIBILITY TO SEVERANCE BENEFITS OR CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE BENEFITS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you will not be eligible for the Severance Benefits or the Change in Control Severance Benefits if: (A) your employment is terminated for Cause, or if you resign for any reason that does not qualify as Good Reason; or (B) in the event that you materially breach the Non-Disclosure Agreement, the Release of claims, or any other obligations you owe to the Company after termination of your employment (including but not limited to the provisions of the Non-Disclosure Agreement), and the Company’s obligation to provide the Severance Benefits or the Change in Control Benefits (or to continue to provide such benefits) will cease immediately and in full as of the date of your breach.
12)
DEFERRED COMPENSATION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the following provisions apply to the extent severance benefits provided herein are subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the regulations and other guidance thereunder and any state law of similar effect (collectively, “Section 409A”). Severance benefits shall not commence until you have a “separation from service” for purposes of Section 409A. Each installment of severance benefits is a separate “payment” for purposes of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(i), and the severance benefits are intended to satisfy the exemptions from application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-1(b)(5) and 1.409A-1(b)(9). However, if such exemptions are not available and you are, upon separation from service, a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of the severance benefits payments shall be delayed until the earlier of (i) six (6) months and one day after your separation from service and (ii) your death. Upon the expiration of the applicable deferral period, any payments which would have otherwise been made during that period (whether in a single sum or in installments) in the absence of this paragraph shall be paid to you or your beneficiary in one lump sum (without interest).  Any termination of your employment is intended to constitute a “separation from service” and will be determined consistent with the rules relating to a “separation from service” as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1.  It is intended that each installment of the payments provided hereunder constitute separate “payments” for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(i).  To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision will be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to the extent any expense reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit under this Agreement is determined to be subject to Section 409A of the Code, the amount of any such expenses eligible for reimbursement, or the provision of any in-kind benefit, in one calendar year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year (except for any lifetime or other aggregate limitation applicable to medical expenses), in no event shall any expenses be reimbursed after the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you incurred such expenses, and in no event shall any right to reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
13)
EXCISE TAX.
a)
Reduced Amount. Anything in this agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if any payment or benefit that you would receive pursuant to this offer letter agreement or otherwise (“Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall be equal to the Reduced Amount (defined below). The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (y) the largest




portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment (after reduction) being subject to the Excise Tax, or (z) the entire Payment, whichever amount after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from a deduction of such state and local taxes), results in your receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater economic benefit.
b)
Order of Reduction. Any reduction shall be made in the following manner:  first a pro rata reduction of (i) cash payments subject to Section 409A of the Code as deferred compensation and (ii) cash payments not subject to Section 409A of the Code, and second a pro rata cancellation of (i) equity-based compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code as deferred compensation and (ii) equity-based compensation not subject to Section 409A of the Code.  Reduction in either cash payments or equity compensation benefits shall be made prorata between and among benefits which are subject to Section 409A of the Code and benefits which are exempt from Section 409A of the Code. Any reduction in the Payment that is required shall occur in such manner as will provide you with the greatest economic benefit. If more than one manner of reduction necessary to arrive at the Reduced Amount yields the greatest economic benefit, then payments and benefits shall be reduced pro rata.
c)
Accounting Firm. The accounting firm engaged by the Company for general audit purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of the Payment Event shall perform the foregoing calculations. If the accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group affecting the Payment Event, a nationally recognized accounting firm appointed by the Board and reasonably approved by you shall make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made hereunder.
d)
Calculations. The accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to the Company and you within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which your right to a Payment is triggered (if requested at that time by the Company or you) or such other time or times as requested by the Company or you. If the accounting firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable with respect to a Payment, either before or after the application of the Reduced Amount, it shall furnish the Company and you with an opinion reasonably acceptable to you that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to such Payment. The Company shall be entitled to rely upon the accounting firm’s determinations, which shall be final and binding.
14)
DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
a)
Arbitration Agreement. To ensure the rapid and economical resolution of disputes that may arise in connection with your employment, you and the Company agree that any and all disputes, claims, or causes of action, in law or equity, arising from or relating to the enforcement, breach, performance, execution, or interpretation of this agreement, your employment, or the termination of your employment, shall be resolved, to the fullest extent permitted by law, by final, binding and confidential arbitration in San Francisco, California conducted before a single neutral arbitrator by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) or its successor, under the then applicable JAMS rules for the resolution of employment disputes. By agreeing to this arbitration procedure, both you and the Company waive the right to resolve any such dispute through a trial by jury or judge or by administrative proceeding.
b)
Arbitrator Authority. 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 including the arbitrator’s essential findings and conclusions and a statement of the award. All claims, disputes, or causes of action under this Agreement, whether by you or the Company,




must be brought in an individual capacity, and shall not be brought as a plaintiff (or claimant) or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, nor brought in any private attorney general capacity or proceeding, nor joined or consolidated with the claims of any other person or entity. The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one person or entity, and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.
c)
Fees and Injunctive Relief. The Company shall pay all of JAMS’ arbitration fees. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall award reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party in any action brought hereunder to the extent that such an award would be consistent with applicable law. The arbitrator shall have discretion to determine the prevailing party in an arbitration where multiple claims may be at issue. Nothing in this letter agreement shall prevent either you or the Company from obtaining injunctive relief in court if necessary to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any arbitration.
d)
Federal Arbitration Act. This agreement is made under the provisions of the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C., Sections 1-14) (“FAA”) and will be construed and governed accordingly. It is the parties' intention that both the procedural and the substantive provisions of the FAA shall apply.
15)
