and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, and compliance

Severance Agreements

On April17, 2017, the Company entered into a severance agreement
(each, a Severance Agreement) with each of Messrs. Wang, James E.
Mikolaichik, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer, Stan R. Soroka, Executive Vice President and Chief
Customer Officer, and Ms.BarbaraL. Hollkamp, Executive Vice
President and Chief Human Resources Officer (each an Executive
and collectively the Executives). Under the terms of each
Severance Agreement, if the Executive is terminated by the
Company without cause, or if the Executive terminates his or her
employment for good reason (each, a qualifying termination)
(including, but not limited to, a qualifying termination within
24 months after a change in control), then, he or she will be
eligible to receive a severance payment amount determined based
on the employees position and then-current base salary and target
bonus. In the case of Mr.Wang, his Severance Agreement includes
certain additional basis of good reason, including, without
limitation, Mr.Wang not being the most senior executive officer
of the Company, the failure to nominate him to the Board or his
removal from the Board. In addition, prior to any termination by
the Company for cause, Mr.Wang is entitled to receive prior
written notice and an opportunity to discuss the basis of such
finding by the Board prior to its vote to terminate him for
cause, as well as a cure period for certain types of cause.
Severance payments are conditioned upon the Executives execution
and non-revocation of a release of claims against the Company,
continued compliance with certain restrictive covenants for a
period of 24 months following termination, and compliance with
indefinite covenants covering confidentiality and
non-disparagement.

Under the terms of the Severance Agreements, upon a qualifying
termination, the Executives will be eligible to receive a
severance payment amount equal to the sum of (a) 2.5times his
annual base salary and his target bonus, in the case of Mr.Wang,
and (b) 2.0 times his or her annual base salary and his or her
target bonus, in the case of the other Executives. Severance
payments will be paid in periodic installments over 24 months,
subject to certain limitations, including partial payment of the
severance amount in a lump sum equal to the excess of the
severance payment over a separation pay limit (2 times the lesser
of the Executives annualized compensation for the year prior to
termination and the maximum compensation that may be taken into
account under a tax-qualified retirement plan under Section
401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for
the year in which termination occurs. In addition, upon a
qualifying termination, each Executive will be entitled to
receive certain accrued and earned, but unpaid, remuneration due
to the Executive through the termination date, including, without
limitation, accrued salary, earned bonus, reimbursable expenses,
and accrued but unused vacation. Each Executive is also entitled
to certain continued health and welfare benefits following a
qualifying termination.

The Executives will also be entitled to the same level of
severance as described above upon a qualifying termination in
connection with a change in control, except that severance may be
reduced if doing so would result in the Executive realizing a
better after-tax result following the imposition of any
applicable parachute-tax provisions under Internal Revenue Code
Section4999.

Each Executives rights with respect to any equity awards granted
to him or her under the 2017 Plan, including, without limitation,
any accelerated vesting or similar benefits, will be determined
in accordance with the 2017 Plan and applicable award agreements.
However, in the case of Mr.Wang, in the event of a termination of
his employment due to a qualifying termination and a change in
control has not occurred, (i)any portion of any equity awards
granted to Mr.Wang under the 2017 Plan that would have vested
within 24 months from the termination date of a qualifying
termination, in accordance with the original terms of the
existing equity award agreements, will accelerate and vest
immediately as of such termination date; (ii)with respect to any
portion of the equity awards granted to Mr.Wang under the 2017
Plan that are stock options and that have vested in accordance
with their original terms or in accordance with the terms of
clause (i), Mr.Wang shall be entitled to exercise any vested
stock options

for a period ending on the earlier of (A)the expiration of the
original term of such applicable stock option or (B) 24 months
from such termination date; and (C)any restricted stock units or
other similar equity awards granted to Mr.Wang under the 2017
Plan that have vested in accordance with the terms of clause
(i)shall be paid within 70 days following such termination date
to the extent required by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended. The foregoing provision applicable to
Mr.Wang will deem to amend any existing equity award agreements
applicable to him and will also be reflected in any future equity
award agreements that the Company enters into with Mr.Wang.

The foregoing summary of the Severance Agreements is not complete
and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of
such agreements for each of the Executives, copies of which are
attached as Exhibit10.2 through 10.5 to this Current Report on
Form8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
