WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ Executive, and Executive is willing and able to accept such employment; and
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to set forth the terms and conditions regarding Executive’s termination of employment and the payment of any benefits associated therewith.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1.Defined Terms. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in Exhibit A.
2.Termination of Employment. This Agreement and Executive’s employment shall terminate (i) at any time upon mutual written agreement of the Parties; (ii) by the Company, immediately and without prior notice, for Cause as provided in Section 2(a); (iii) by the Company for any reason not otherwise covered by clauses (i) or (ii) herein as provided in Section 2(b); or (iv) by Executive for any reason with advance written notice as provided in Section 2(e). There is no promised or contracted term of employment and either party may terminate the employment relationship at any time, subject to the following:
(a)Termination for Cause; Voluntary Termination. At any time during the Executive’s employment, (i) the Company may immediately terminate Executive’s employment for Cause, and (ii) Executive may terminate his or her employment “voluntarily.” Upon the termination of Executive’s employment by the Company for Cause or by Executive’s voluntary termination, Executive shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Obligations. All other benefits, if any, due to Executive following Executive’s termination of employment pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall be determined in accordance with the plans, policies, and practices of the Company as then in effect; provided, that Executive shall not be entitled to any severance payments or benefits under this Agreement or any other agreement or severance plan, policy, or program of the Company (excluding any group health benefit plans).

(b)Termination Without Cause by the Company. At any time, the Company may terminate Executive’s employment without Cause. Upon the termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to this Section 2(b), Executive shall receive the Accrued Obligations. In addition, and contingent on Executive’s timely execution and non-revocation of the release agreement detailed in Section 2(d) herein, Executive shall be entitled to the following severance benefits:

The Severance Payment shall be made during the sixty (60) day period following Executive’s Termination Date.

(ii)Bonus Payment. A pro-rated bonus payment, for the period of time Executive was actually employed and worked during the fiscal year, equal to Executive’s annual target bonus amount as of the year of termination, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Executive Leadership Team STI program. Payment of this pro-rated bonus will be made to Executive at the same time payment would have been paid had the Executive’s employment not been terminated.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that it cannot pay the COBRA Premium without a substantial risk of violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company instead shall pay Executive, on the first day of each calendar month, a cash payment equal to the gross amount of the applicable COBRA Premiums, including any taxed amounts. No payments will be made after the first anniversary of the Executive’s Termination Date.
(c)Termination Due to Change in Control. When there is a Change in Control and Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause as a direct result of the Change in Control during the period between six months prior to or within twelve (12) months after a Change in Control, then Executive shall receive the Accrued Obligations and, additionally, contingent on Executive’s timely execution of the release agreement detailed in Section 2(d) herein, Executive will be entitled to the following Change in Control severance benefits in lieu of (and not in addition to) the amounts otherwise payable to Executive under Section 2(b):

(ii) Bonus Payment. A pro-rated bonus payment, for the period of time Executive was actually employed and worked during the fiscal year, equal to Executive’s annual target bonus amount as of the year of termination, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Executive Ledership Team STI program. Payment of this pro-rated bonus will be made to Executive at the same time payment would have been paid had the Executive’s employment not been terminated.(iii) Any Awards awarded to Executive that remain outstanding as of the date of termination shall immediately vest in full, if not previously vested, and shall remain exercisable as provided in the Stock Incentive Plan, provided that any Award subject to performance goals shall vest at the target levels of performance (regardless of the otherwise applicable vesting or exercise schedules or performance goals provided for under the applicable Award Agreement).
(iii) Any Awards awarded to Executive that remain outstanding as of the date of termination shall immediately vest in full, if not previously vested, and shall remain exercisable as provided in the Stock Incentive Plan, provided that any Award subject to performance goals shall vest at the target levels of performance (regardless of the otherwise applicable vesting or exercise schedules or performance goals provided for under the applicable Award Agreement).

(iv) If Executive timely and properly elects continuation health care coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), the Company will pay the COBRA premium required for Executive and Executive’s dependents (if any) under the Company’s group medical and dental plans for a period of up to twelve (12) months following the Executive’s termination of employment (or until such earlier time as Executive obtains other health care coverage and/or ceases to be eligible for COBRA coverage) (the “COBRA Premium”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that it cannot pay the COBRA Premium without a substantial risk of violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company instead shall pay Executive, on the first day of each calendar month, a cash payment equal to the gross amount of the applicable COBRA Premiums, including any taxed amounts. No such payments will be made after the first anniversary of the Executive’s Termination Date.
(d)Release Agreement. Payment and/or provision of any severance benefits pursuant to Sections 2(b) or 2(c) of this Agreement is contingent on Executive’s execution, delivery, and non-revocation of an effective release of claims against the Company and certain related persons and entities in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Release”), The Release must be executed (and not revoked) by Executive within the time specified in the Release (the “Release Period”).

(e)Governing Law and Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflicting provision or rule (whether of the State of Arizona or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Arizona to be applied. In furtherance of the foregoing, the law of the State of Arizona will control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement. Any action to enforce this Agreement must be brought in, and the Parties hereby consent to jurisdiction in, Maricopa County, Phoenix, Arizona. Each Party hereby waives the rights to claim that any such court is an inconvenient forum for the resolution of any such action.
(f)Compliance with Section 409A. This Agreement and its payments and benefits are intended to comply with (or be exempt from) the requirements of Code Section 409A and will be interpreted and administered in accordance with such intention. In the event this Agreement or any benefit paid to Executive hereunder is deemed to be subject to Code Section 409A, Executive consents to the Company adopting such conforming amendments or taking such actions as the Company deems necessary, in its discretion (and without an obligation to do so), to comply with Code Section 409A and avoid the imposition of taxes under Code Section 409A. While it is intended that all payments and benefits provided under this Agreement to Executive will be exempt from or comply with Code Section 409A, the Company makes no representation or covenant to ensure that the payments under this Agreement are exempt from or compliant with Code Section 409A. The Company will have no liability to Executive or any other person if any amounts paid or payable are subject to the additional tax and/or penalties and/or interest under Code Section 409A.
(i)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at the time of Executive’s termination of employment with the Company Executive is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A, and the deferral of the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable hereunder as a result of such termination of employment that are considered a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, then the Company will defer the commencement of the portion of such payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to Executive) to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A until the first business day to occur following the date that is six (6) months following the Termination Date (or the earliest date otherwise permitted under Section 409A). In the event that payments under this Agreement are deferred pursuant to this subclause (i) in order to prevent any accelerated tax or additional tax under Section 409A, then such payments shall be paid at the time specified under this subclause (i) without any interest thereon.
(ii)Each payment made under this Agreement shall be considered to be a separate payment and not one of a series of payments for purposes of Section 409A.
(g)Severability of Invalid or Unenforceable Provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
(h)Advice of Counsel and Construction. Each Party acknowledges that such Party had the opportunity to be represented by counsel in the negotiation and execution of this Agreement. Accordingly, the rule of construction of contract language against the drafting party is hereby waived by each Party.

(i)Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties as of the Effective Date and supersedes all previous agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Except as otherwise provided by law, Employee shall provide written notice of any such order to an authorized officer of the Company within 24 hours of receiving such order where possible, but in any event sufficiently in advance of making any disclosure to permit the Company to contest the order or seek confidentiality protections, as determined in the Company’s sole discretion.
