RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive are parties to that certain Offer Letter, dated as of May 17, 2018, by and between the Company and Executive, as amended, modified or restated from time to time (the “Offer Letter”), and believe that it is in the best interests of the parties to amend the Offer Letter as provided herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual agreements contained herein, the Company and Executive, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

1.1 Definitions; Construction. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Offer Letter. Any direct or indirect references in the Offer Letter to “this letter agreement” shall be deemed to be references to the Offer Letter as amended hereby.

1.2 Amendment to Section 2.f. The first sentence of Section 2.f. of the Offer Letter shall be amended by deleting such sentence in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

“f. Commuting and Lodging Expenses; Relocation Reimbursement. The Company will provide a fully taxable reimbursement for reasonable travel and lodging expense of up to $6,000 per month (for up to three years from your start date), less all required deductions and withholdings, related to your travel back and forth from San Diego, California to the San Francisco Bay Area to provide services under this letter agreement, upon submission of proper vouchers and documentation in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy (“Commuting Expenses”).”
