Effective as of the Resignation Date, Employee’s participation in all benefits and incidents of employment, including, but not limited to, equity vesting and the accrual of bonuses, incentive payments, vacation, and paid time off shall cease.
c.
Employee retains any right to exculpation, contribution, advancement of expenses, defense or indemnification that Employee may have under the Company’s D&O insurance policy and Employee’s November 5, 2025, Indemnification Agreement with the Company relating to events occurring on or before the Resignation Date.

The Separation Payment will be paid in two equal installments. The first payment of $750,000 and the Attorneys’ Fees Payment shall be paid to Employee on the Company’s first regularly scheduled payroll date occurring forty-five (45) days after the Resignation Date, and the second payment of $750,000 shall be made on the first regularly scheduled payroll date in July 2026.
3.
COBRA. If Employee currently participates in any of Company’s group health insurance plan(s) and provided Employee timely elects continued coverage, the Company agrees to pay on Employee’s behalf the employer’s portion of the premium to the third-party administrator for the maintenance of Employee's health insurance under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) and the California Continuation Benefits Replacement Act (“Cal-COBRA”) (collectively “COBRA Benefit”) through the earliest of (i) 36 months following the Resignation Date, (ii) the date on which Employee is no longer eligible for COBRA continuation coverage, and (iii) the date on which Employee is eligible for group health insurance coverage through another employer (the “COBRA Subsidy Period”). Employee must notify the Company within seven (7) days of re-insurance under a different plan or if the Employee otherwise ceases to be eligible for COBRA coverage during the COBRA Subsidy Period. If, during the COBRA Subsidy Period, Employee is eligible for group health insurance coverage through another employer, Employee must provide the Company with written notice within seven (7) days of any subsequent employment, including Employee’s date of hire and benefits eligibility. Employee’s eligibility for the COBRA Benefit would cease effective the first month of eligibility in Employee’s new employer’s health insurance plan or upon re-insurance under a different plan or cessation of eligibility under COBRA or Cal-COBRA.

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.

7.
Acknowledgment of Waiver of Claims under ADEA. Employee understands and acknowledges that Employee is waiving and releasing any rights Employee may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (“ADEA”), and that this waiver and release is knowing and voluntary. Employee understands and agrees that this waiver and release does not apply to any rights or claims that may arise under the ADEA after the Effective Date of this Agreement.

8.
Covenant Not to Sue. The Parties have not and will not directly or indirectly institute any legal action against the other Party or Releasees based upon, arising out of, or relating to any claims released in this Agreement, to the extent allowed by law. The Parties have not and will not directly or indirectly encourage and/or solicit any third party to institute any legal action against the other Party or Releasees, to the extent allowed by law.
9.
Company Confidential Information/Property. Employee reaffirms and agrees to observe and abide by the terms of any confidentiality, inventions assignment, or non-disclosure agreement(s) entered into with the Company (collectively, the “Confidentiality Agreements”), specifically including any provisions therein regarding nondisclosure of the Company’s trade secrets and confidential and proprietary information. Employee’s signature below constitutes Employee’s certification that, on or before the Resignation Date, Employee shall return or destroy all documents and other items provided to Employee by the Company, developed or obtained by Employee in connection with Employee’s employment with the Company, or otherwise belonging to the Company in Employee’s possession.
10.
Cooperation. Except to the extent inconsistent with the Permitted Disclosures and Actions provision set forth below, and subject to Employee’s then-current personal and professional fiduciary duties and other obligations, Employee agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company prior to the Resignation Date in the transition of Employee’s duties and thereafter to provide information to and assist the Company as needed in the investigation, defense, or prosecution of any suspected claim against, or by, the Company with respect to matters of which Employee may have first-hand knowledge. Such assistance shall include, but is not limited to, participating in interviews with representatives of the Company, attending, as a witness, depositions, trials, or other similar proceedings without requiring a subpoena, and producing or providing any documents or names of persons with relevant information. In accordance with the foregoing obligation, the Company agrees to reimburse Employee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred. Without limiting the foregoing, except as allowed by the Permitted Disclosures and Actions provision, Employee agrees not to knowingly encourage, counsel, or assist (i.e., provide information to, or agree to testify on behalf of) any attorneys or their clients in the presentation or prosecution of any disputes, differences, grievances, claims, charges, or complaints by any third party against any of the Releasees, unless subject to a valid subpoena or other court order to do so. Employee agrees both to immediately notify the Company upon receipt of any such subpoena or court order, and to furnish the Company, within three (3) business days of receipt, a copy of such subpoena or court order.

11.
Permitted Disclosures and Actions. This Agreement does not prohibit or restrict Employee, the Company, or the other Releasees from: (i) discussing or disclosing information about unlawful acts in the workplace, such as harassment or discrimination or any other conduct that Employee has reason to believe is unlawful; (ii) initiating communications directly with, filing any charge or complaint with, cooperating with, providing relevant information, or otherwise assisting in an investigation by (A) the SEC, or any other governmental, regulatory, or legislative body regarding a possible violation of any federal law; or (B) the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”), Department of Labor (“DOL”), National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”), the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (“DFEH”), or any other governmental authority with responsibility for the administration of fair employment practices laws regarding a possible violation of such laws, or as compelled or requested by lawful process; (iii) responding to any inquiry from any such governmental, regulatory, or legislative body or official or governmental authority, including an inquiry about the existence of this Agreement or its underlying facts or circumstances; or (iv) participating, cooperating, testifying, or otherwise assisting in any governmental action, investigation, or proceeding relating to a possible violation of any such law, rule or regulation.
12.
DTSA Notice. Federal law provides certain protections to individuals who disclose a trade secret to their attorney, a court, or a government official in certain, confidential circumstances. Specifically, federal law provides that an individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret under either of the following conditions: (a) where the disclosure is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) where the disclosure is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. See 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b)(1). Federal law also provides that an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual (x) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (y) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. See 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b)(2). Nothing in this Agreement is intended in any way to limit such statutory rights.
13.
Non-Disparagement. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Employee agrees to refrain from any disparagement, defamation, libel, or slander of the Company and other Releasees. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Company will direct each of its officers and directors to refrain from any disparagement, defamation, libel, or slander of Employee. For sake of clarity, this applies to disparagement in any forum, including, but not limited to, to social media platforms (e.g. Glassdoor, Meta/Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter/X, TikTok, etc.).
14.
Breach. In addition to receiving any other remedies provided by law or in equity, if the Company prevails in any action against Employee for Employee’s alleged Material Violation (as defined below) of the terms of this Agreement, they shall be required: (i) to return and/or reimburse the Company for the payments referenced in Section 2 above in full (less the Attorneys’ Fees Payment and less an additional $10,000, which Employee may retain, and which Employee agrees shall serve as good and valuable consideration for the continuing enforceability of this Agreement); and (ii) pay the Company’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in obtaining such a judgment. Under such circumstances, it is agreed and understood that this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. A “Material Violation” means Employee’s breach of Section 8 (Covenant Not to Sue) and/or Section 9 (Company Confidential Information/Property).
15.
No Admission of Liability. Employee understands and acknowledges that this Agreement constitutes a compromise and settlement of any and all actual or potential disputed claims by Employee. No action taken by the Company hereto, either previously or in connection with this Agreement, shall be deemed or construed to be (a) an admission of the truth or falsity of any actual or potential claims or (b) an

Page 6

 


 

acknowledgment or admission by the Company of any fault or liability whatsoever to Employee or to any third party.
16.
ARBITRATION. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, THEIR INTERPRETATION, AND ANY OF THE MATTERS HEREIN RELEASED, SHALL BE SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION, BEFORE JUDICIAL ARBITRATION & MEDIATION SERVICES, INC. (“JAMS”) IN NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK, PURSUANT TO ITS EMPLOYMENT ARBITRATION RULES & PROCEDURES (“JAMS RULES”). THE ARBITRATOR MAY GRANT INJUNCTIONS AND OTHER RELIEF IN SUCH DISPUTES. THE DECISION OF THE ARBITRATOR SHALL BE FINAL, CONCLUSIVE, AND BINDING ON THE PARTIES TO THE ARBITRATION. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE PREVAILING PARTY IN ANY ARBITRATION SHALL BE ENTITLED TO INJUNCTIVE RELIEF IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO ENFORCE THE ARBITRATION AWARD. THE PARTIES TO THE ARBITRATION SHALL EACH PAY AN EQUAL SHARE OF THE COSTS AND EXPENSES OF SUCH ARBITRATION, AND EACH PARTY SHALL SEPARATELY PAY FOR ITS RESPECTIVE COUNSEL FEES AND EXPENSES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE ARBITRATOR SHALL AWARD REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS TO THE PREVAILING PARTY, EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW. THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THEM RESOLVED IN A COURT OF LAW BY A JUDGE OR JURY. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this arbitration provision shall be construed to limit the Permitted Disclosures and Actions provision, or otherwise prohibit any current or former employee from filing any charge or complaint or participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by an administrative agency, including BUT NOT LIMITED TO the EEOC, DOL, or NLRB.
17.
Tax Consequences. The Company makes no representations or warranties with respect to the tax consequences of the Separation Benefits provided to Employee or made on Employee’s behalf under the terms of this Agreement. Employee agrees and understands that Employee is responsible for payment, if any, of local, state, and/or federal taxes on the Separation Benefits provided hereunder by the Company and any penalties or assessments thereon. Employee further agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any claims, demands, deficiencies, penalties, interest, assessments, executions, judgments, or recoveries by any government agency against the Company for any amounts claimed due on account of (a) Employee’s failure to pay or the Company’s failure to withhold, or Employee’s delayed payment of, federal or state taxes, or (b) damages sustained by the Company by reason of any such claims, including attorneys’ fees and costs.
18.
Section 409A. The payments and benefits set forth in this Agreement are intended to comply with the “short-term deferral” exception to the requirements of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder (“Section 409A”). If it is determined that Section 409A applies to any payment or benefit under this Agreement, such payment or benefit shall be administered in accordance with Section 409A. In no event may Employee, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of a payment and if a payment that is subject to execution of this Agreement could be made in more than one taxable year, and such payment is subject to Section 409A, payment will be made in the later taxable year. Employee will be solely responsible for any tax imposed under Section 409A and in no event will the Company have any liability with respect to any tax, interest or other penalty imposed under Section 409A.
19.
Severability. In the event that any provision or any portion of any provision hereof or any surviving agreement made a part hereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be illegal, unenforceable, or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision or portion of provision.
20.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and Employee concerning the subject matter of this Agreement and Employee’s

Page 7

 


 

employment with and resignation from the Company and any and all events leading thereto and associated therewith, and supersedes and replaces any and all prior agreements and understandings concerning the subject matter of this Agreement and Employee’s relationship with the Company, with the exception of the Confidentiality Agreements and Employee’s November 5, 2025 Indemnification Agreement with the Company. This Agreement may only be amended in a writing signed by Employee and a duly authorized executive of the Company.
21.
Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, including its statutes of limitation, without regard to any otherwise applicable principles of conflicts of law or choice-of-law provisions (whether of the state in which Employee was last regularly engaged as an employee or any other jurisdiction) that would result in the application of the substantive or procedural laws or rules of any other jurisdiction. Except with respect to the arbitration provision set forth above, Employee consents to personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such state.
22.
Effective Date. This Agreement will become effective and enforceable on the eighth (8th) day after Employee signed this Agreement, so long as it has been signed by and has not been revoked by Employee before that date (the “Effective Date”).
23.
