Relocation Payback Agreement

Date: 09-Aug-2023

Name: Aagam Shah

DocuSign Envelope ID: CE187770-C04E-4F12-9AD8-2CC69BC29DD7

I understand and agree that 123 - Cisco Systems (India) Private Limited (“Cisco”) may, in its sole discretion, require that I
provide additional acceptable documentation of some or all of my relocation expenses before reimbursing me for those
expenses.

I further understand and agree that Cisco's obligation to make any relocation payment(s) and reimbursement is contingent
upon my continued employment with the Company. If I voluntarily terminate my employment within the first year of my
relocation, or my employment is terminated for “cause” (as defined below) by the Company, I agree to pay back on pro rata
basis all relocation payments and reimbursements advanced to me or paid on my behalf by Cisco. The pro-rata amount will
be determined by multiplying the total payments and reimbursements.
If, I have not relocated to my work location as per notice from Cisco OR have not relocated at all within one year, I agree to
pay back full amount of all relocation payments and reimbursements advanced to me or paid on my behalf by Cisco.

In the event of involuntary termination without cause or termination due to my acceptance of a voluntary retirement or
redundancy scheme offered by the Company, I am not required to repay any amount to Cisco. ”Cause” means any of the
following reasons:
(i) my continued material failure to perform my duties to Cisco (other than due to disability) after there has been
delivered to me a written demand for performance which describes the specific material deficiencies in my performance
and the specific manner in which my performance must be improved, all in accordance with the Cisco performance
management plan, and which provides thirty (30) business days from the date of notice, or the amount of time specified
in any applicable Cisco performance management plan, whichever is greater, to remedy such performance
deficiencies;

(ii) my engaging in an act of willful misconduct that has had or will have a material adverse effect on Cisco's
reputation or business;

(iii) my being convicted of a crime punishable by imprisonment;

(iv) my committing an act of fraud against, or willful misappropriation of property belonging to, Cisco;

(v) my material breach of the Cisco Code of Business Conduct, Conflict of Interest Agreement or Proprietary
Information and Inventions Agreement;

(vi) any other circumstance, or conduct, behaviour or omission by me, which entitles Cisco to terminate my
employment immediately without notice or payment in lieu, including without limitation those set out in subclause (a)
under the heading of TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP in my offer letter.

I authorize Cisco, to the extent permitted by law, to deduct from any payments due to me on termination any amount owed to
Cisco, as determined above. I further agree to re-affirm this authorization in writing in the event that my employment is
terminated during my first year of employment, either voluntarily or involuntarily for cause. I agree to pay the remaining
balance in full to Cisco within thirty (30) days of my termination date.
