This letter sets forth the terms and conditions of our agreement ("Agreement") regarding the separation of your employment with ChromaDex Corporation and its subsidiaries, including ChromaDex, Inc. (collectively, the "Company"). This Agreement will become effective on the Effective Date as defined in Section 9 herein. Capitalized terms that are used in this Agreement, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Executive Employment Agreement between you and the Company, dated June 1, 2018 (the "Employment Agreement").

2. SEPARATION BENEFITS. In accordance with Section 8 of the Employment Agreement, which is hereby amended to specify the timing for when you must execute the waiver and release of claims contained herein, in exchange for your covenants and releases herein, and provided that you sign this Agreement not later than 21 days after it is delivered to you and this Agreement becomes effective as specified in Section 8 below, the Company will provide you with the following separation benefits.

(a) Base Salary Continuation. The Company will provide you with continuation of your current base salary for a period of twelve (12) months (the "Base Salary Payments), less required payroll deductions and tax withholdings. Base Salary Payments will commence on the first payroll pay date following the Effective Date and shall be paid in accordance with the Company's payroll schedule then in effect.

(c) Benefit Coverage. Provided that you timely elect COBRA medical and/or dental insurance continuation coverage, the Company will pay one hundred percent of the premium cost of such coverage for a period of twelve (12) months following the Separation Date, or until such time as you are no longer eligible for COBRA continuation coverage, whichever comes first. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that its payment of COBRA premiums on your behalf would result in a violation of applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), then in lieu of paying COBRA premiums on your behalf, the Company will pay you a fully taxable cash payment equal to the COBRA premium for that month, subject to applicable tax withholding (such amount, the "Special Severance Payment"), such Special Severance Payment to be made without regard to your payment of COBRA premiums.

(d) Treatment of Options. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Equity Incentive Plan of ChromaDex Corp., effective as of the Separation Date, the vesting and exercisability of the any then unvested time-based vesting equity awards that would have otherwise become vested had you performed continuous service through the one year anniversary of the Separation Date then held by you shall accelerate and become immediately vested and exercisable, where applicable, by you upon your termination. With respect to any performance-based vesting equity award, such award shall continue to be governed in all respects by the terms of the applicable equity award documents. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or any other agreement between you and the Company or any other party to the contrary, the Company agrees that you shall have the unqualified right to exercise any of the vested options for a period of three (3) years from the Separation Date. You and the Company agree and acknowledge that through the Equity Incentive Plan of ChromaDex Corp., you presently maintain 199,494 shares of the Company.

(e) Tax Withholding. All compensation described in this Section 2 will be subject to the Company's collection of all applicable federal, state and local income and employment withholding taxes. The Company makes no representation regarding the federal or state tax consequences of the compensation described in this Section 2. You understand and agree that the Company shall not be responsible for any tax liabilities, interest or

penalties under state or federal law with respect to the compensation described in this Section 2. You will indemnify and hold the Company harmless as to any tax liabilities relating to or arising from your failure to properly report or pay taxes on the compensation described in this Section 2. You understand and agree that you will be responsible for the payment of any and all applicable state and federal taxes with respect to the compensation described in this Section 2 and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company with respect to the payment of any and all such taxes. Regardless of the determination by any taxing authority as to the characterization of the payment, this Agreement shall not be invalidated as a result thereof since the Company and its attorneys are not guaranteeing or warranting any ultimate tax treatment of the sum paid.

(f) Final Expense Report. You shall submit a final expense report on or before the Separation Date for business expenses incurred through the Separation Date, in such a form as required by the Company's standard practices and procedures. Reimbursement for any such approved expenses will be made to you within thirty (30) days after receipt of the expense report.

4. COMPANY PROPERTY. You represent and confirm that no later than the Separation Date you will return to the Company all Company documents (and all copies thereof) and other property of the Company in your possession or control, including, but not limited to, computer security access, files, business plans, notes, financial information, financial information, data, computer-recorded information, tangible property, including entry cards, keys and any other materials of any nature pertaining to your work with the Company, and any documents or data of any description (or any reproduction of any documents or data) containing or pertaining to any proprietary or confidential material of the Company; provided that you shall be permitted to retain copies of documents relating to the terms and conditions of your employment with the Company (for example, copies of Stock Option Agreements). You must comply with this Section 4 in order to receive the benefits specified in section 2 hereof.
