SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE

This Separation Agreement and Release (“Agreement”) is made by and between David Henry (“Employee”) and NETGEAR, Inc. (the “Company”) (collectively referred to as the “Parties” or individually referred to as a “Party”).

WHEREAS, Employee was employed by the Company;

WHEREAS, Employee signed an At-Will Employment, Confidential Information, Invention Assignment Agreement (“Confidentiality Agreement”), as well as a Mutual Arbitration Agreement with the Company (“Arbitration Agreement”), each of which is hereby survived and incorporated by reference;

WHEREAS, the Company and Employee have entered into a Change of Control and Severance Agreement dated 27th August, 2018 (the “Severance Agreement”), which provides for severance of twelve (12) months and other consideration upon execution, without revocation, of a Release presented to Employee as provided in the Severance Agreement (with Employee’s acknowledgement that this Separation Agreement and Release is provided in accordance with and subject to that Severance Agreement);

WHEREAS, the Employee will separate from employment with the Company effective December 31, 2024 (the “Separation Date”); and

WHEREAS, the Parties wish to resolve any and all disputes, claims, complaints, grievances, charges, actions, petitions, and demands that the Employee may have against the Company and any of the Releasees as defined below, including, but not limited to, any and all claims arising out of or in any way related to Employee’s employment with or separation from the Company;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made herein, the Company and Employee hereby agree as follows:

Employee’s own expense.

Agreement, as to that portion of the awards that would have otherwise vested in accordance with the vesting schedules applicable thereto, as if Employee had continued providing services as an employee of the company until the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Separation Date. This includes Employee’s unvested performance-based RSU’s that have achieved the applicable performance metrics as of his last day of employment and are set to thus vest in the 12 months following Employee’s Separation Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that any other unvested time and performance-based RSUs granted to Employee by the Company shall otherwise not vest and shall terminate as of the Separation Date.

corporations and assigns (collectively, the “Releasees”). Employee, on Employee’s own behalf and on behalf of Employee’s respective heirs, family members, executors, agents, and assigns, hereby and forever releases the Releasees from, and agrees not to sue concerning, or in any manner to institute, prosecute, or pursue, any claim, complaint, charge, duty, obligation, or cause of action relating to any matters of any kind, whether presently known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that Employee may possess against any of the Releasees arising from any omissions,

acts, facts, or damages that have occurred up until and including the Effective Date of this Agreement, including, without limitation:

provided, however, that nothing in this agreement shall be construed as a requirement for or condition to any payment due under the Wage Payment and Collection Act, Delaware Social Media Law, Delaware Minimum Wage Act;

Notwithstanding the foregoing general releases, Employee acknowledges that Employee has not made any claims or allegations related to sexual harassment or sexual abuse, and none of the payments set forth as consideration in this Agreement are related to sexual harassment or sexual abuse.

Employee agrees that the release set forth in this section shall be and remain in effect in all respects as a complete general release as to the matters released. This release does not extend to any obligations incurred under this Agreement. Although this is a general release, it does not apply to:

(i) any unemployment insurance claim; (ii) any workers’ compensation insurance benefits to the extent any applicable state law prohibits the direct release of such benefits without judicial or agency approval, with the understanding that such benefits, if any, would only be payable in accordance with the terms of any workers’ compensation coverage or fund of the Company; (iii) continued participation in certain benefits under COBRA (and any state law counterpart), if

applicable; (iv) any benefit entitlements vested as of Employee’s last day of employment, pursuant to written terms of any applicable employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company; (v) any claims that cannot be waived as a matter of law; or (vi) claims that arise after Employee signs this Agreement. Employee represents that Employee has made no assignment or transfer of any right, claim, complaint, charge, duty, obligation, demand, cause of action, or other matter waived or released by this Section.

days following Employee’s execution of this Agreement to revoke this Agreement; (d) this Agreement shall not be effective until after the revocation period has expired; and (e) nothing in this Agreement prevents or precludes Employee from challenging or seeking a determination in good faith of the validity of this waiver under the ADEA, nor does it impose any condition precedent, penalties, or costs for doing so, unless specifically authorized by federal law. In the event Employee signs this Agreement and returns it to the Company in less than the 60-day period identified above (but in any event on or after the Separation Date), Employee hereby acknowledges that Employee has freely and voluntarily chosen to waive the time period allotted for considering

this Agreement. Employee acknowledges and understands that revocation must be accomplished by a written notification to the person executing this Agreement on the Company’s behalf that is received prior to the Effective Date. The parties agree that changes, whether material or immaterial, do not restart the running of the 60-day period.

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.

Employee, being aware of said code section, agrees to expressly waive any rights Employee may have thereunder (if applicable), as well as under any other statute or common law principles of similar effect.

Agreement (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Separation Information”). Except as required by law, Employee may disclose Separation Information only to Employee’s immediate family

members, the Court in any proceedings to enforce the terms of this Agreement, Employee’s legal counsel, and Employee’s accountant and any professional tax advisor to the extent that they need to know the Separation Information in order to provide advice on tax treatment or to prepare tax returns, subject to such parties agreeing to maintain such information as confidential, and must prevent disclosure of any Separation Information to all other third parties. Employee agrees that Employee will not publicize, directly or indirectly, any Separation Information.

differences, grievances, claims, charges, or complaints by any third party against any of the Releasees, unless under a subpoena or other court order to do so. Employee agrees both to immediately notify the Company upon receipt of any such subpoena or court order, and to furnish, within three (3) business days of its receipt, a copy of such subpoena or other court order.

Relations Act (“NLRA”); (b) denies Employee the right to disclose information about unlawful acts in the workplace, including, but not limited to, sexual harassment, sexual assault, discrimination, or any other conduct that Employee has reason to believe is unlawful; or (c) waives Employee’s right to testify in an administrative, legislative, or judicial proceeding concerning alleged criminal conduct or sexual harassment, sexual assault, discrimination, or any other conduct that Employee has reason to believe is unlawful when Employee has been required or requested to attend the proceeding pursuant to a court order, subpoena, or written request from an administrative agency or the legislature, or as otherwise allowed by the Permitted Disclosures and Actions provision.
