Section 4.2 Confidential Information. Except as permitted by the Board, during the term of the Optionee’s employment and/or service with the Company and at all times thereafter, the Optionee shall not divulge, furnish or make accessible to anyone or use in any way other than in the ordinary course of the business of the Company, any confidential, proprietary or secret knowledge or information of the Company or any of its affiliates, whether developed by the Optionee or others, including but not limited to (a) trade secrets, (b) confidential and proprietary plans, developments, research, processes, designs, methods or material (whether or not patented or patentable), (c) customer and supplier lists, (d) strategic or other business, marketing or sales plans, (e) financial data and plans and (f) Proprietary Information. The Optionee acknowledges that the above-described knowledge and information constitute unique and valuable assets of the Company and represent a substantial investment of time and expense by the Company,

and that any disclosure or other use of such knowledge or information other than for the sole benefit of the Company would be wrongful and would cause irreparable harm to the Company.

The Optionee shall have no interest, direct or indirect, in any customer or supplier that conducts business with the Company, provided that a passive investment of less than 2.5% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of any customer or supplier listed on a national securities exchange or publicly traded in the over-the-counter market shall not constitute a breach of this sentence.

Section 4.4 Agreement Not to Compete. During the term of the Optionee’s employment and/or service with the Company and during the Restricted Period, regardless of the reason for such termination and regardless of whether the termination is initiated by the Company or Optionee, the Optionee shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in any manner or capacity (including without limitation as a proprietor, owner, principal, agent, partner, officer, director, employee, member of any association, consultant or otherwise) in any Company Business (as defined below) in the Territory (as defined below).

The Optionee hereby acknowledges that this Article IV shall be given the construction that renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent, not exceeding its express terms, possible under applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 4.7 shall in no event apply to the extent its application would render this Article IV (or any portion thereof) unenforceable under applicable law.

Section 4.8 Return of Records and Property. On or within thirty (30) days of the Termination of Services Date or at any other time as required by the Company, the Optionee shall promptly deliver to the Company any and all Company records and any and all Company property in the Optionee’s possession or under the Optionee’s control, and all copies thereof, including without limitation manuals, books, blank forms, documents, letters, memoranda, notes, notebooks, reports, printouts, computer disks, computer tapes, source codes, data, tables or calculations, keys, access cards, access codes, passwords, credit cards, personal computers, telephones and other electronic equipment belonging to the Company, and shall also permanently delete all Company email, all Company customer, member, supplier or other business contacts’ information, and all other Company information from the Optionee’s computer, mobile phone and other electronic devices.

Upon request and without further compensation therefor, but at no expense to the Optionee, the Optionee shall execute any and all papers and perform all other acts necessary to assist the Company to obtain and register patents, copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property rights on the Protectable Materials in any and all countries. Where applicable, works of authorship created by the Optionee for the Company in performing the Optionee’s duties and responsibilities hereunder shall be considered “works made for hire,” as defined in the U.S. Copyright Act.

(b) All trade secret information conceived or originated by the Optionee that arises during the term of the Optionee’s employment and/or service with the Company and out of the performance of the Optionee’s duties and responsibilities to the Company or any related material or information shall be the property of the Company, and all rights therein are hereby assigned by the Optionee to the Company.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionee understands that this Agreement does not require assignment of any invention to the extent such invention qualifies for protection under Section 181.78 of the 2015 Minnesota Statutes, as may be amended from time to time, and the current text of which is attached hereto as Annex 1 to Exhibit B. The Optionee hereby acknowledges that the Company has provided him or her with the notification set forth on Exhibit B (and the annex attached thereto) on the date hereof and the Optionee shall sign such notification as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionee understands that pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, the Optionee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (A) 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) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.

Section 4.10 Non-Disparagement. The Optionee will not malign, defame or disparage the reputation, character, image, products or services of the Company, or the reputation or character of the Company’s directors, officers, employees, shareholders or agents, either orally or in writing, at any time; provided that nothing in this Section 4.10 shall be construed to limit or restrict the Optionee from providing truthful information to the extent required by applicable law in connection with any legal proceeding, government investigation or other legal matter.

Section 4.11 Enforcement. The Optionee acknowledges that the provisions of Article IV are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company, and that any violation of those provisions by the Optionee would cause real, immediate, substantial and irreparable harm to the Company to such an extent that monetary damages alone would be an inadequate remedy therefor. Therefore, in the event of any actual or threatened breach of any provision of Article IV, the Company shall, in addition to any other remedies it may have, be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief to enforce such provisions and to restrain the Optionee from violating or continuing to violate such provisions, and such relief may be granted without the necessity of proving actual monetary damages or posting bond. The Optionee agrees that the Restricted Period shall be tolled, and shall not run, during any period of time in which he or she is in violation of the terms of Section 4.4, 4.5 or 4.6, in order that the Company and its affiliates shall have all of the agreed-upon temporal protection recited herein. No breach of any provision of this Agreement by the Company, or any other claimed breach of contract or violation of law, or change in the nature or scope of the Optionee’s employment and/or service relationship with the Company, shall operate to extinguish the Optionee’s obligation to comply with Article IV. The Company (including, without limitation, its affiliates) are third party beneficiaries under this Agreement and shall have the right to enforce all of the Optionee’s obligations to the Company under this Agreement, including without limitation pursuant to Article IV, and the Company shall be entitled to assign its rights under this Article IV without the Optionee’s consent and any such assignees shall have the right to enforce all of the Optionee’s obligations to comply with this Article IV. The Optionee covenants and agrees that he or she has received adequate consideration for his or her obligations contained in Article IV, and will not take the position that the covenants contained in Article IV are void for lack of consideration. The Optionee will be responsible for any and all attorneys’ fees and costs the Company incurs in enforcing the Optionee’s obligations contained in Article IV.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.7(b), in the event that the Company determines that any right to receive the Option or payment or other benefit under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the vesting and/or exercisability of the Option and taking into account the effect of this Section) or any other agreement by and between the Optionee and the Company, to or for the benefit of the Optionee (the “Payments”), would, in whole or part when aggregated with any other right, payment or benefit to or for the Optionee under all other agreements or benefit plans of the Company, be nondeductible by the Company (or other person making such payment or providing such benefit) as a result of Section 280G of the Code and/or would subject the Optionee to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”) then, to the extent necessary to make the Payments deductible and to exempt the Payments from the Excise Tax (but only to such extent and after taking into account any reduction in the Payments relating to Section 280G of the Code under any other plan, arrangement or agreement), the Option or any other right, payment or benefit under this Agreement shall not become exercisable, vested or paid.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the provisions of Section 5.7(a) shall not apply to reduce the Payments if the Payments that would otherwise be nondeductible under Section 280G of the Code and/or would subject the Optionee to the Excise Tax are disclosed to and approved by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the Department of Treasury regulations thereunder.

(c) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and deliver to its stockholders the disclosure required by Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code with respect to the Payments and to seek the approval of the Company’s stockholders in accordance with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the Department of Treasury regulations thereunder.

Section 5.8 Section 409A. The Company shall undertake to administer, interpret and construe this Agreement in a manner that does not result in the imposition on the Optionee of any additional tax, penalty or interest under Section 409A, and to comply with Section 409A to the extent applicable. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Company determines in good faith that any provision of this Agreement would cause the Optionee to incur an additional tax, penalty or interest under Section 409A, the Company and Optionee shall cooperate in good faith to (a) adopt such amendments to this Agreement and appropriate policies and procedures, including amendments and policies with retroactive effect, as the Company and Optionee determine to be necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided by this Agreement, to preserve the economic benefits of this Agreement and to avoid less favorable accounting or tax consequences for the Company and/or (b) take such other actions as the Company and Optionee determine to be necessary or appropriate to exempt the amounts payable hereunder from Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A and thereby avoid the application of penalty taxes thereunder. No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to transfer any liability for failure to comply with the requirements of Section 409A from the Optionee or any other individual to the Company or any of its affiliates, employees or agents.

Section 5.9 Tax Consultation. The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that his or her entry into this Agreement and participation in the Plan is voluntary and there may be tax consequences as a result of his or her receipt of the Option and/or the purchase or disposition of the Shares underlying the Option. The Optionee represents that he or she (a) has consulted with any tax consultants he or she deems advisable in connection with this Agreement, the receipt of the Option, and the purchase or disposition of the Shares underlying the Option, and (b) is not relying on the Company for any tax advice. The Optionee is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. The Optionee understands that he or she (and not the Company) shall be solely responsible for the Optionee’s tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, no portion of the Option which is unexercisable after the earlier of (i) the Measurement Date following which the Principal Stockholders no longer hold any Investment or (ii) the date of the first Change of Control following the Effective Date shall thereafter become exercisable (and such unexercisable portion shall be canceled automatically for no consideration on the earliest of such dates).

(c) The Board shall make the determination as to whether the targets for any Principal Stockholder MOIC and Principal Stockholder IRR for any Measurement Date have been met and shall determine the extent, if any, to which the Option has become exercisable on such Measurement Date.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting (and subject to compliance with) Sections 1.23 and 1.24, if, upon a Measurement Date, the exercisability of the Option (or portion thereof) on such Measurement Date and the participation of the Shares underlying such Option (or portion thereof) (and any such other options (or portions thereof)) in any transaction on such Measurement Date would result in the failure to satisfy any of the thresholds in Section 3.2(a)(i) or 3.2(a)(ii), as applicable (each, an “Investment Hurdle”), then the Option shall become exercisable as to the maximum percentage of Shares subject thereto that will result in, as of the Measurement Date, the achievement of the applicable Investment Hurdle taking into account the Shares subject to the Option (or portion thereof) (and any other options (or portions thereof) with respect to Shares) that so become exercisable and, if applicable, the participation of the Shares underlying such Option (or portion thereof) (and any such other options (or portions thereof)) in such transaction.

Section 4.2 Confidential Information. Except as permitted by the Board, during the term of the Optionee’s employment and/or service with the Company and at all times thereafter, the Optionee shall not divulge, furnish or make accessible to anyone or use in any way other than in the ordinary course of the business of the Company, any confidential, proprietary or secret knowledge or information of the

The Optionee acknowledges that the above-described knowledge and information constitute unique and valuable assets of the Company and represent a substantial investment of time and expense by the Company, and that any disclosure or other use of such knowledge or information other than for the sole benefit of the Company would be wrongful and would cause irreparable harm to the Company. During the term of the Optionee’s employment and/or service with the Company, the Optionee shall refrain from any acts or omissions that would reduce the value of such knowledge or information to the Company. The foregoing obligations of confidentiality shall not apply to any knowledge or information that (i) is now or subsequently becomes generally publicly known for reasons other than the Optionee’s violation of this Agreement, (ii) is independently made available to the Optionee in good faith by a third party who has not violated a confidential relationship with the Company, or (iii) is required to be disclosed by legal process, other than as a direct or indirect result of the breach of this Agreement by the Optionee.

Except as approved in writing by the Board, the Optionee shall not be entitled to any interest in any such project, program or venture or to any commission, finder’s fee or other compensation in connection therewith. The Optionee shall have no interest, direct or indirect, in any customer or supplier that conducts business with the Company, provided that a passive investment of less than 2.5% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of any customer or supplier listed on a national securities exchange or publicly traded in the over-the-counter market shall not constitute a breach of this sentence.

Section 4.4 Agreement Not to Compete. During the term of the Optionee’s employment and/or service with the Company and during the Restricted Period, regardless of the reason for such termination and regardless of whether the termination is initiated by the Company or Optionee, the Optionee shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in any manner or capacity (including without limitation as a proprietor, owner, principal, agent, partner, officer, director, employee, member of any association, consultant or otherwise) in any Company Business (as defined below) in the Territory (as defined below). For purposes of this Article IV, (a) “Company” means LTF Holdings, Inc. and any parent, affiliated, related and/or direct or indirect subsidiary entity thereof, (b) “Company Business” means (i) the design, development, operation, management, advertisement, promotion, solicitation, marketing or sale of health and fitness clubs or health and fitness club memberships, (ii) any services, products or programs offered by health and fitness clubs, including but not limited to personal training, nutritional supplements; health testing or health assessments; wellness services or programs (whether direct to consumer or business to business); weight loss services or programs; kids activities; salons, spas, and medical spas; restaurants or cafes; athletic events and related services (including race timing and registration), and (iii) any other product or service that grows into a material business for the Company (or is under development and is projected to grow into a material business for the Company) as of the Optionee’s Termination of Service Date, and (c) “Territory” means the United States, Canada and any other country in which the Company is then doing Company Business as of the Optionee’s Termination of Service Date. Ownership by the Optionee, as a passive investment, of less than 2.5% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of any corporation listed on a national securities exchange or publicly traded in the over-the-counter market shall not constitute a breach of this Section 4.4.

Section 4.5 Agreement Not to Solicit or Hire Employees. During the term of the Optionee’s employment and/or service with the Company and during the Restricted Period, regardless of the reason for such termination and regardless of whether the termination is initiated by the Company or Optionee, the Optionee shall not, in any manner or capacity (including without limitation as a proprietor, owner, principal, agent, partner, officer, director, stockholder, employee, member of any association, consultant or otherwise), directly or indirectly, hire, engage or solicit for the purpose of employing or otherwise engaging any person who is then an employee of the Company or who was an employee of the Company as of the Optionee’s Termination of Service Date or at any time in the six-month period prior to such hiring, engagement or solicitation.

Section 4.6 Agreement Not to Solicit Business Relations. During the term of the Optionee’s employment and/or service with the Company and during the Restricted Period, regardless of the reason for such termination and regardless of whether the termination is initiated by the Company or Optionee, the Optionee shall not, in any manner or capacity (including without limitation as a proprietor, owner, principal, agent, partner, officer, director, stockholder, employee, member of any association, consultant or otherwise), directly or indirectly, solicit, request, advise or induce any current or potential customer, member, supplier or other business contact of the Company to cancel, curtail or otherwise change its relationship with the Company.

Section 4.7 Blue Pencil Doctrine. If the duration of, the scope of or any business activity covered by any provision of this Article IV is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be in excess of what is valid and enforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be construed to cover only that duration, scope or activity that is valid and enforceable, and all other provisions of this Article IV shall remain in full force and effect. The Optionee hereby acknowledges that this Article IV shall be given the construction that renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent, not exceeding its express terms, possible under applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 4.7 shall in no event apply to the extent its application would render this Article IV (or any portion thereof) unenforceable under applicable law.

Section 4.8 Return of Records and Property. On or within thirty (30) days of the Termination of Service Date or at any other time as required by the Company, the Optionee shall promptly deliver to the Company any and all Company records and any and all Company property in the Optionee’s possession or under the Optionee’s control, and all copies thereof, including without limitation manuals, books, blank forms, documents, letters, memoranda, notes, notebooks, reports, printouts, computer disks, computer tapes, source codes, data, tables or calculations, keys, access cards, access codes, passwords, credit cards, personal computers, telephones and other electronic equipment belonging to the Company, and shall also permanently delete all Company email, all Company customer, member, supplier or other business contacts’ information, and all other Company information from the Optionee’s computer, mobile phone and other electronic devices.

Section 4.9 Protectable Material; Trade Secrets.

(a) All right, title and interest in all discoveries, inventions, improvements, innovations and other material that the Optionee shall conceive or originate individually or jointly or commonly with others during the term of the Optionee’s employment and/or service with the Company (i) that are directly related to the business of the Company or to the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or that results from any work performed by the Optionee for the Company, (ii) for which any equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of the Company was used and/or (iii) which was not developed entirely on the Optionee’s own time, whether or not patentable, copyrightable, or registrable as a trademark (“Protectable Material”), shall be the property of the Company and are hereby assigned by the Optionee to the Company (and the Optionee agrees to assign all Protectable Material to the Company in the future), along with ownership of any and all patents, copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property rights in the Protectable Material. Upon request and without further

compensation therefor, but at no expense to the Optionee, the Optionee shall execute any and all papers and perform all other acts necessary to assist the Company to obtain and register patents, copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property rights on the Protectable Materials in any and all countries. Where applicable, works of authorship created by the Optionee for the Company in performing the Optionee’s duties and responsibilities hereunder shall be considered “works made for hire,” as defined in the U.S. Copyright Act.

(b) All trade secret information conceived or originated by the Optionee that arises during the term of the Optionee’s employment and/or service with the Company and out of the performance of the Optionee’s duties and responsibilities to the Company or any related material or information shall be the property of the Company, and all rights therein are hereby assigned by the Optionee to the Company.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionee understands that this Agreement does not require assignment of any invention to the extent such invention qualifies for protection under Section 181.78 of the 2015 Minnesota Statutes, as may be amended from time to time, and the current text of which is attached hereto as Annex 1 to Exhibit B. The Optionee hereby acknowledges that the Company has provided him or her with the notification set forth on Exhibit B (and the annex attached thereto) on the date hereof and the Optionee shall sign such notification as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof.

Section 4.10 Non-Disparagement. The Optionee will not malign, defame or disparage the reputation, character, image, products or services of the Company, or the reputation or character of the Company’s directors, officers, employees, shareholders or agents, either orally or in writing, at any time; provided that nothing in this Section 4.10 shall be construed to limit or restrict the Optionee from providing truthful information to the extent required by applicable law in connection with any legal proceeding, government investigation or other legal matter.

Section 4.11 Enforcement. The Optionee acknowledges that the provisions of Article IV are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company, and that any violation of those provisions by the Optionee would cause real, immediate, substantial and irreparable harm to the Company to such an extent that monetary damages alone would be an inadequate remedy therefor. Therefore, in the event of any actual or threatened breach of any provision of Article IV, the Company shall, in addition to any other remedies it may have, be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief to enforce such provisions and to restrain the Optionee from violating or continuing to violate such provisions, and such relief may be granted without the necessity of proving actual monetary damages or posting bond. The Optionee agrees that the Restricted Period shall be tolled, and shall not run, during any period of time in which he or she is in violation of the terms of Section 4.4, 4.5 or 4.6, in order that the Company and its affiliates shall have all of the agreed-upon temporal protection recited herein. No breach of any provision of this Agreement by the Company, or any other claimed breach of contract or violation of law, or change in the nature or scope of the Optionee’s employment and/or service relationship with the Company, shall operate to extinguish the Optionee’s obligation to comply with Article IV. The Company (including, without limitation, its affiliates) shall have the right to enforce all of the Optionee’s obligations to the Company under this Agreement, including without limitation pursuant to Article IV, and the Company shall be entitled to assign its rights under this Article IV without the Optionee’s consent. The Optionee covenants and agrees that he or she has received adequate consideration for his or her obligations contained in Article IV, and will not take the position that the covenants contained in Article IV are void for lack of consideration. The Optionee will be responsible for any and all attorneys’ fees and costs the Company incurs in enforcing the Optionee’s obligations contained in Article IV.

ARTICLE V.

OTHER PROVISIONS

Section 5.1 Not a Contract of Employment or Services. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in the employ or engagement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates, which are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge the Optionee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, except as may otherwise be provided by any written agreement entered into by and between the Company and the Optionee.

The Optionee acknowledges that any shares acquired upon exercise of the Option are subject to the terms of the Plan and the Stockholders Agreement. The terms of this Agreement are intended by the parties to be the final expression of their agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior or contemporaneous agreement.

Section 5.3 Construction. This Agreement shall be administered, interpreted and enforced under the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof, or principles of conflicts of law of any other jurisdiction which could cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

The Optionee and the Company consent to jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and/or the United States District Court, District of Delaware, for the purpose of resolving all issues of law, equity, or fact, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement. Any action involving claims of a breach of this Agreement shall be brought in such courts. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party irrevocably consents to service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the making of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or by recognized express carrier or delivery service, to the applicable party at his, her or its address referred to herein. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives any objection which he, she or it may not or hereafter have to the laying of venue for the purposes of all such suits arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, or any related agreement, certificate or instrument referred to above, and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties consents to personal jurisdiction over such party in the aforementioned courts and hereby waives any defense of lack of personal jurisdiction. Venue, for the purpose of all such suits, shall be exclusively in Wilmington, Delaware.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the Option is granted and may be exercised, only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.

Section 5.6 Amendment. The Option may be wholly or partially amended at any time or from time to time by the Administrator in its discretion; provided that if such amendment materially impairs the rights of the Optionee hereunder, no such amendment shall be effective until consented to in writing by the Optionee.

Section 5.7 Stockholder Approval.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.7(b), in the event that the Company determines that any right to receive the Option or payment or other benefit under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the vesting and/or exercisability of the Option and taking into account the effect of this Section) or any other agreement by and between the Optionee and the Company, to or for the benefit of the Optionee (the “Payments”), would, in whole or part when aggregated with any other right, payment or benefit to or for the Optionee under all other agreements or benefit plans of the Company, be nondeductible by the Company (or other person making such payment or providing such benefit) as a result of Section 280G of the Code and/or would subject the Optionee to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”) then, to the extent necessary to make the Payments deductible and to exempt the Payments from the Excise Tax (but only to such extent and after taking into account any reduction in the Payments relating to Section 280G of the Code under any other plan, arrangement or agreement), the Option or any other right, payment or benefit under this Agreement shall not become exercisable, vested or paid.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the provisions of Section 5.7(a) shall not apply to reduce the Payments if the Payments that would otherwise be nondeductible under Section 280G of the Code and/or would subject the Optionee to the Excise Tax are disclosed to and approved by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the Department of Treasury regulations thereunder.

(c) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and deliver to its stockholders the disclosure required by Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code with respect to the Payments and to seek the approval of the Company’s stockholders in accordance with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the Department of Treasury regulations thereunder.

Section 5.8 Section 409A. The Company shall undertake to administer, interpret and construe this Agreement in a manner that does not result in the imposition on the Optionee of any additional tax, penalty or interest under Section 409A, and to comply with Section 409A to the extent applicable. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Company determines in good faith that any provision of this Agreement would cause the Optionee to incur an additional tax, penalty or interest under Section 409A, the Company and Optionee shall cooperate in good faith to (a) adopt such amendments to this Agreement and appropriate policies and procedures, including amendments and policies with retroactive effect, as the Company and Optionee determine to be necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided by this Agreement, to preserve the economic benefits of this Agreement and to avoid less favorable accounting or tax consequences for the Company and/or (b) take such other actions as the Company and Optionee determine to be necessary or appropriate to exempt the amounts payable hereunder from Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A and thereby avoid the application of penalty taxes thereunder. No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to transfer any liability for failure to comply with the requirements of Section 409A from the Optionee or any other individual to the Company or any of its affiliates, employees or agents.

Section 5.9 Tax Consultation. The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that his or her entry into this Agreement and participation in the Plan is voluntary and there may be tax consequences as a result of his or her receipt of the Option and/or the purchase or disposition of the Shares underlying the Option. The Optionee represents that he or she (a) has consulted with any tax consultants he or she deems advisable in connection with this Agreement, the receipt of the Option, and the purchase or disposition of

the Shares underlying the Option, and (b) is not relying on the Company for any tax advice. The Optionee is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. The Optionee understands that he or she (and not the Company) shall be solely responsible for the Optionee’s tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, no portion of the Option which is unexercisable after the earlier of (i) the Measurement Date following which the Principal Stockholders no longer hold any Investment or (ii) the date of the first Change of Control following the Effective Date shall thereafter become exercisable (and such unexercisable portion shall be canceled automatically for no consideration on the earliest of such dates).

(a) All right, title and interest in all discoveries, inventions, improvements, innovations and other material that the Optionee shall conceive or originate individually or jointly or commonly with others during the term of the Optionee’s employment and/or service with the Company (i) that are directly related to the business of the Company or to the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or that results from any work performed by the Optionee for the Company, (ii) for which any equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of the Company was used and/or (iii) which was not developed entirely on the Optionee’s own time, whether or not patentable, copyrightable, or registrable as a trademark (“Protectable Material”), shall be the property of the Company and are hereby assigned by the

Optionee to the Company (and the Optionee agrees to assign all Protectable Material to the Company in the future), along with ownership of any and all patents, copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property rights in the Protectable Material. Upon request and without further compensation therefor, but at no expense to the Optionee, the Optionee shall execute any and all papers and perform all other acts necessary to assist the Company to obtain and register patents, copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property rights on the Protectable Materials in any and all countries. Where applicable, works of authorship created by the Optionee for the Company in performing the Optionee’s duties and responsibilities hereunder shall be considered “works made for hire,” as defined in the U.S. Copyright Act.

(b) All trade secret information conceived or originated by the Optionee that arises during the term of the Optionee’s employment and/or service with the Company and out of the performance of the Optionee’s duties and responsibilities to the Company or any related material or information shall be the property of the Company, and all rights therein are hereby assigned by the Optionee to the Company.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionee understands that this Agreement does not require assignment of any invention to the extent such invention qualifies for protection under Section 181.78 of the 2015 Minnesota Statutes, as may be amended from time to time, and the current text of which is attached hereto as Annex 1 to Exhibit B. The Optionee hereby acknowledges that the Company has provided him or her with the notification set forth on Exhibit B (and the annex attached thereto) on the date hereof and the Optionee shall sign such notification as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionee understands that pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, the Optionee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (A) 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) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.

Section 4.10 Non-Disparagement. The Optionee will not malign, defame or disparage the reputation, character, image, products or services of the Company, or the reputation or character of the Company’s directors, officers, employees, shareholders or agents, either orally or in writing, at any time; provided that nothing in this Section 4.10 shall be construed to limit or restrict the Optionee from providing truthful information to the extent required by applicable law in connection with any legal proceeding, government investigation or other legal matter.

Section 4.11 Enforcement. The Optionee acknowledges that the provisions of Article IV are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company, and that any violation of those provisions by the Optionee would cause real, immediate, substantial and irreparable harm to the Company to such an extent that monetary damages alone would be an inadequate remedy therefor. Therefore, in the event of any actual or threatened breach of any provision of Article IV, the Company shall, in addition to any other remedies it may have, be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief to enforce such provisions and to restrain the Optionee from violating or continuing to violate such provisions, and such relief may be granted without the necessity of proving actual monetary damages or posting bond. The Optionee agrees that the Restricted Period shall be tolled, and shall not run, during any period of time in which he or she is in violation of the terms of Section 4.4, 4.5 or 4.6, in order that the Company and its affiliates shall have all of the agreed-upon temporal protection recited herein. No breach of any provision of this Agreement by the Company, or any other claimed breach of contract or violation

of law, or change in the nature or scope of the Optionee’s employment and/or service relationship with the Company, shall operate to extinguish the Optionee’s obligation to comply with Article IV. The Company (including, without limitation, its affiliates) shall have the right to enforce all of the Optionee’s obligations to the Company under this Agreement, including without limitation pursuant to Article IV, and the Company shall be entitled to assign its rights under this Article IV without the Optionee’s consent. The Optionee covenants and agrees that he or she has received adequate consideration for his or her obligations contained in Article IV, and will not take the position that the covenants contained in Article IV are void for lack of consideration. The Optionee will be responsible for any and all attorneys’ fees and costs the Company incurs in enforcing the Optionee’s obligations contained in Article IV.

ARTICLE V.

OTHER PROVISIONS

Section 5.1 Not a Contract of Employment or Services. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in the employ or engagement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates, which are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge the Optionee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, except as may otherwise be provided by any written agreement entered into by and between the Company and the Optionee.

Section 5.7 Stockholder Approval.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.7(b), in the event that the Company determines that any right to receive the Option or payment or other benefit under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the vesting and/or exercisability of the Option and taking into account the effect of this Section) or any other agreement by and between the Optionee and the Company, to or for the benefit of the Optionee (the “Payments”), would, in whole or part when aggregated with any other right, payment or benefit to or for the Optionee under all other agreements or benefit plans of the Company, be nondeductible by the Company (or other person making such payment or providing such benefit) as a result of Section 280G of the Code and/or would subject the Optionee to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”) then, to the extent necessary to make the Payments deductible and to exempt the Payments from the Excise Tax (but only to such extent and after taking into account any reduction in the Payments relating to Section 280G of the Code under any other plan, arrangement or agreement), the Option or any other right, payment or benefit under this Agreement shall not become exercisable, vested or paid.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the provisions of Section 5.7(a) shall not apply to reduce the Payments if the Payments that would otherwise be nondeductible under Section 280G of the Code and/or would subject the Optionee to the Excise Tax are disclosed to and approved by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the Department of Treasury regulations thereunder.

(c) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and deliver to its stockholders the disclosure required by Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code with respect to the Payments and to seek the approval of the Company’s stockholders in accordance with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the Department of Treasury regulations thereunder.

Section 5.8 Section 409A. The Company shall undertake to administer, interpret and construe this Agreement in a manner that does not result in the imposition on the Optionee of any additional tax, penalty or interest under Section 409A, and to comply with Section 409A to the extent applicable. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Company determines in good faith that any provision of this Agreement would cause the Optionee to incur an additional tax, penalty or interest under Section 409A, the Company and Optionee shall cooperate in good faith to (a) adopt such amendments to this Agreement and appropriate policies and procedures, including amendments and policies with retroactive effect, as the Company and Optionee determine to be necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided by this Agreement, to preserve the economic benefits of this Agreement and to avoid less favorable

accounting or tax consequences for the Company and/or (b) take such other actions as the Company and Optionee determine to be necessary or appropriate to exempt the amounts payable hereunder from Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A and thereby avoid the application of penalty taxes thereunder. No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to transfer any liability for failure to comply with the requirements of Section 409A from the Optionee or any other individual to the Company or any of its affiliates, employees or agents.

Section 5.9 Tax Consultation. The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that his or her entry into this Agreement and participation in the Plan is voluntary and there may be tax consequences as a result of his or her receipt of the Option and/or the purchase or disposition of the Shares underlying the Option. The Optionee represents that he or she (a) has consulted with any tax consultants he or she deems advisable in connection with this Agreement, the receipt of the Option, and the purchase or disposition of the Shares underlying the Option, and (b) is not relying on the Company for any tax advice.

The Optionee hereby acknowledges that this Article IV shall be given the construction that renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent, not exceeding its express terms, possible under applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 4.7 shall in no event apply to the extent its application would render this Article IV (or any portion thereof) unenforceable under applicable law.

Section 4.8 Return of Records and Property. On or within thirty (30) days of the Termination of Services Date or at any other time as required by the Company, the Optionee shall promptly deliver to the Company any and all Company records and any and all Company property in the Optionee’s possession or under the Optionee’s control, and all copies thereof, including without limitation manuals, books, blank forms, documents, letters, memoranda, notes, notebooks, reports, printouts, computer disks, computer tapes, source codes, data, tables or calculations, keys, access cards, access codes, passwords, credit cards, personal computers, telephones and other electronic equipment belonging to the Company, and shall also permanently delete all Company email, all Company customer, member, supplier or other business contacts’ information, and all other Company information from the Optionee’s computer, mobile phone and other electronic devices.

Upon request and without further compensation therefor, but at no expense to the Optionee, the Optionee shall execute any and all papers and perform all other acts necessary to assist the Company to obtain and register patents, copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property rights on the Protectable Materials in any and all countries.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionee understands that pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, the Optionee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (A) 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) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.

Section 4.10 Non-Disparagement. The Optionee will not malign, defame or disparage the reputation, character, image, products or services of the Company, or the reputation or character of the Company’s directors, officers, employees, shareholders or agents, either orally or in writing, at any time; provided that nothing in this Section 4.10 shall be construed to limit or restrict the Optionee from providing truthful information to the extent required by applicable law in connection with any legal proceeding, government investigation or other legal matter.

Section 4.11 Enforcement. The Optionee acknowledges that the provisions of Article IV are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company, and that any violation of those provisions by the Optionee would cause real, immediate, substantial and irreparable harm to the Company

to such an extent that monetary damages alone would be an inadequate remedy therefor. Therefore, in the event of any actual or threatened breach of any provision of Article IV, the Company shall, in addition to any other remedies it may have, be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief to enforce such provisions and to restrain the Optionee from violating or continuing to violate such provisions, and such relief may be granted without the necessity of proving actual monetary damages or posting bond. The Optionee agrees that the Restricted Period shall be tolled, and shall not run, during any period of time in which he or she is in violation of the terms of Section 4.4, 4.5 or 4.6, in order that the Company and its affiliates shall have all of the agreed-upon temporal protection recited herein. No breach of any provision of this Agreement by the Company, or any other claimed breach of contract or violation of law, or change in the nature or scope of the Optionee’s employment and/or service relationship with the Company, shall operate to extinguish the Optionee’s obligation to comply with Article IV. The Company (including, without limitation, its affiliates) are third party beneficiaries under this Agreement and shall have the right to enforce all of the Optionee’s obligations to the Company under this Agreement, including without limitation pursuant to Article IV, and the Company shall be entitled to assign its rights under this Article IV without the Optionee’s consent and any such assignees shall have the right to enforce all of the Optionee’s obligations to comply with this Article IV. The Optionee covenants and agrees that he or she has received adequate consideration for his or her obligations contained in Article IV, and will not take the position that the covenants contained in Article IV are void for lack of consideration. The Optionee will be responsible for any and all attorneys’ fees and costs the Company incurs in enforcing the Optionee’s obligations contained in Article IV.

ARTICLE V.

OTHER PROVISIONS

Section 5.1 Not a Contract of Employment or Services. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in the employ or engagement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates, which are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge the Optionee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, except as may otherwise be provided by any written agreement entered into by and between the Company and the Optionee.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the provisions of Section 5.7(a) shall not apply to reduce the Payments if the Payments that would otherwise be nondeductible under Section 280G of the Code and/or would subject the Optionee to the Excise Tax are disclosed to and approved by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the Department of Treasury regulations thereunder.

No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to transfer any liability for failure to comply with the requirements of Section 409A from the Optionee or any other individual to the Company or any of its affiliates, employees or agents.

Section 5.9 Tax Consultation. The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that his or her entry into this Agreement and participation in the Plan is voluntary and there may be tax consequences as a result of his or her receipt of the Option and/or the purchase or disposition of the Shares underlying the Option.

Section 4.4 Agreement Not to Compete. During the term of the Optionee’s employment and/or service with the Company and during the Restricted Period, regardless of the reason for such termination and regardless of whether the termination is initiated by the Company or Optionee, the Optionee shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in any manner or capacity (including without limitation as a proprietor, owner, principal, agent, partner, officer, director, employee, member of any association, consultant or otherwise) in any Company Business (as defined below) in the Territory (as defined below).

Section 4.5 Agreement Not to Solicit or Hire Employees. During the term of the Optionee’s employment and/or service with the Company and during the Restricted Period, regardless of the reason for such termination and regardless of whether the termination is initiated by the Company or Optionee, the Optionee shall not, in any manner or capacity (including without limitation as a proprietor, owner, principal, agent, partner, officer, director, stockholder, employee, member of any association, consultant or otherwise), directly or indirectly, hire, engage or solicit for the purpose of employing or otherwise engaging any person who is then an employee of the Company or who was an employee of the Company as of the Optionee’s Termination of Services Date or at any time in the six-month period prior to such hiring, engagement or solicitation.

If the duration of, the scope of or any business activity covered by any provision of this Article IV is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be in excess of what is valid and enforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be construed to cover only that duration, scope or activity that is valid and enforceable, and all other provisions of this Article IV shall remain in full force and effect. The Optionee hereby acknowledges that this Article IV shall be given the construction that renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent, not exceeding its

 

7

express terms, possible under applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 4.7 shall in no event apply to the extent its application would render this Article IV (or any portion thereof) unenforceable under applicable law.

Section 4.8 Return of Records and Property. On or within thirty (30) days of the Termination of Services Date or at any other time as required by the Company, the Optionee shall promptly deliver to the Company any and all Company records and any and all Company property in the Optionee’s possession or under the Optionee’s control, and all copies thereof, including without limitation manuals, books, blank forms, documents, letters, memoranda, notes, notebooks, reports, printouts, computer disks, computer tapes, source codes, data, tables or calculations, keys, access cards, access codes, passwords, credit cards, personal computers, telephones and other electronic equipment belonging to the Company, and shall also permanently delete all Company email, all Company customer, member, supplier or other business contacts’ information, and all other Company information from the Optionee’s computer, mobile phone and other electronic devices.

Section 4.9 Protectable Material; Trade Secrets.

(a) All right, title and interest in all discoveries, inventions, improvements, innovations and other material that the Optionee shall conceive or originate individually or jointly or commonly with others during the term of the Optionee’s employment and/or service with the Company (i) that are directly related to the business of the Company or to the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or that results from any work performed by the Optionee for the Company, (ii) for which any equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of the Company was used and/or (iii) which was not developed entirely on the Optionee’s own time, whether or not patentable, copyrightable, or registrable as a trademark (“Protectable Material”), shall be the property of the Company and are hereby assigned by the Optionee to the Company (and the Optionee agrees to assign all Protectable Material to the Company in the future), along with ownership of any and all patents, copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property rights in the Protectable Material. Upon request and without further compensation therefor, but at no expense to the Optionee, the Optionee shall execute any and all papers and perform all other acts necessary to assist the Company to obtain and register patents, copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property rights on the Protectable Materials in any and all countries. Where applicable, works of authorship created by the Optionee for the Company in performing the Optionee’s duties and responsibilities hereunder shall be considered “works made for hire,” as defined in the U.S. Copyright Act.

(b) All trade secret information conceived or originated by the Optionee that arises during the term of the Optionee’s employment and/or service with the Company and out of the performance of the Optionee’s duties and responsibilities to the Company or any related material or information shall be the property of the Company, and all rights therein are hereby assigned by the Optionee to the Company.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionee understands that pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, the Optionee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (A) 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) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.

Section 4.10 Non-Disparagement. The Optionee will not malign, defame or disparage the reputation, character, image, products or services of the Company, or the reputation or character of the Company’s directors, officers, employees, shareholders or agents, either orally or in writing, at any time;

 

78

provided that nothing in this Section 4.10 shall be construed to limit or restrict the Optionee from providing truthful information to the extent required by applicable law in connection with any legal proceeding, government investigation or other legal matter.

Section 4.11 Enforcement. The Optionee acknowledges that the provisions of Article IV are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company, and that any violation of those provisions by the Optionee would cause real, immediate, substantial and irreparable harm to the Company to such an extent that monetary damages alone would be an inadequate remedy therefor. Therefore, in the event of any actual or threatened breach of any provision of Article IV, the Company shall, in addition to any other remedies it may have, be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief to enforce such provisions and to restrain the Optionee from violating or continuing to violate such provisions, and such relief may be granted without the necessity of proving actual monetary damages or posting bond. The Optionee agrees that the Restricted Period shall be tolled, and shall not run, during any period of time in which he or she is in violation of the terms of Section 4.4, 4.5 or 4.6, in order that the Company and its affiliates shall have all of the agreed-upon temporal protection recited herein. No breach of any provision of this Agreement by the Company, or any other claimed breach of contract or violation of law, or change in the nature or scope of the Optionee’s employment and/or service relationship with the Company, shall operate to extinguish the Optionee’s obligation to comply with Article IV. The Company (including, without limitation, its affiliates) are third party beneficiaries under this Agreement and shall have the right to enforce all of the Optionee’s obligations to the Company under this Agreement, including without limitation pursuant to Article IV, and the Company shall be entitled to assign its rights under this Article IV without the Optionee’s consent and any such assignees shall have the right to enforce all of the Optionee’s obligations to comply with this Article IV. The Optionee covenants and agrees that he or she has received adequate consideration for his or her obligations contained in Article IV, and will not take the position that the covenants contained in Article IV are void for lack of consideration. The Optionee will be responsible for any and all attorneys’ fees and costs the Company incurs in enforcing the Optionee’s obligations contained in Article IV.

ARTICLE V.

OTHER PROVISIONS

Section 5.1 Not a Contract of Employment or Services. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in the employ or engagement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates, which are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge the Optionee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, except as may otherwise be provided by any written agreement entered into by and between the Company and the Optionee.

Section 5.2 Shares Subject to Plan and Stockholders Agreement; Entire Agreement.

Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives any objection which he, she or it may not or hereafter have to the laying of venue for the purposes of all such suits arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, or any related agreement, certificate or instrument referred to above, and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties consents to personal jurisdiction over such party in the aforementioned courts and hereby waives any defense of lack of personal jurisdiction. Venue, for the purpose of all such suits, shall be exclusively in Wilmington, Delaware.

Section 5.7 Stockholder Approval.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.7(b), in the event that the Company determines that any right to receive the Option or payment or other benefit under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the vesting and/or exercisability of the Option and taking into account the effect of this Section) or any other agreement by and between the Optionee and the Company, to or for the benefit of the Optionee (the “Payments”), would, in whole or part when aggregated with any other right, payment or benefit to or for the Optionee under all other agreements or benefit plans of the Company, be nondeductible by the Company (or other person making such payment or providing such benefit) as a result of Section 280G of the Code and/or would subject the Optionee to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”) then, to the extent necessary to make the Payments deductible and to exempt the Payments from the Excise Tax (but only to such extent and after taking into account any reduction in the Payments relating to Section 280G of the Code under any other plan, arrangement or agreement), the Option or any other right, payment or benefit under this Agreement shall not become exercisable, vested or paid.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the provisions of Section 5.7(a) shall not apply to reduce the Payments if the Payments that would otherwise be nondeductible under Section 280G of the Code and/or would subject the Optionee to the Excise Tax are disclosed to and approved by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the Department of Treasury regulations thereunder.

 

10

(c) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and deliver to its stockholders the disclosure required by Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code with respect to the Payments and to seek the approval of the Company’s stockholders in accordance with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the Department of Treasury regulations thereunder.

Section 5.8 Section 409A. The Company shall undertake to administer, interpret and construe this Agreement in a manner that does not result in the imposition on the Optionee of any additional tax, penalty or interest under Section 409A, and to comply with Section 409A to the extent applicable. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Company determines in good faith that any provision of this Agreement would cause the Optionee to incur an additional tax, penalty or interest under Section 409A, the Company and Optionee shall cooperate in good faith to (a) adopt such amendments to this Agreement and appropriate policies and procedures, including amendments and policies with retroactive effect, as the Company and Optionee determine to be necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided by this Agreement, to preserve the economic benefits of this Agreement and to avoid less favorable accounting or tax consequences for the Company and/or (b) take such other actions as the Company and Optionee determine to be necessary or appropriate to exempt the amounts payable hereunder from Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A and thereby avoid the application of penalty taxes thereunder. No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to transfer any liability for failure to comply with the requirements of Section 409A from the Optionee or any other individual to the Company or any of its affiliates, employees or agents.

Section 5.9 Tax Consultation. The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that his or her entry into this Agreement and participation in the Plan is voluntary and there may be tax consequences as a result of his or her receipt of the Option and/or the purchase or disposition of the Shares underlying the Option.
