This position is exempt from paid overtime as required by state and federal law, and therefore there is no overtime pay. Base salary is paid per the Company's routine payroll procedures and is subject to applicable withholding required by law.

2.Bonus: You will continue to participate in our Short-Term Incentive (STI) program which you will be awarded a percentage of your base salary based on Company, Team, and Individual performance against quarterly and annual milestones.

4.Discretionary: You will continue to receive discretionary, paid time off from work, along with paid time off for Company observed holidays (Appendix A). DTO can be used for purposes of time away from work, including sick time. DTO will therefore not be accrued on a go-forward basis.

5.Confidentiality. As an employee of the Company, you will have access to certain confidential information of the Company. During your employment, you may develop certain information or inventions that will be the Company's property. To protect the Company's interests, you will need to sign the Company's standard "Employee Invention Assignment and Confidentiality Agreement" as a condition of your employment.
