In connection with Dr. Mounts’ separation, Dr. Mounts will receive the severance payments and benefits described in the Employment Agreement with respect to a termination by the Company without cause if Dr. Mounts (i) signs and does not revoke a separation and release agreement (“Separation Agreement”) in accordance with its terms, (ii) cooperates with the Company in the transition of Dr. Mounts’ position, (iii) returns all Company property and confidential and proprietary information, and (iv) complies with the confidentiality, inventions, non-competition, non-solicitation and non-disparagement provisions of the Employment Agreement.
