“Company”), shall be eligible to receive cash and equity compensation as set
forth in this Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy (this “Policy”). The
cash and equity compensation described in this Policy shall be paid or be made,
as applicable, to each member of the Board who is not an employee of the Company
or any parent or subsidiary of the Company (each, a “Non-Employee Director”) who
may be eligible to receive such cash or equity compensation, unless such
Non-Employee Director declines the receipt of such cash or equity compensation
by written notice to the Company. This Policy shall remain in effect until it is
revised or rescinded by further action of the Board. This Policy may be amended,
modified or terminated by the Board at any time in its sole discretion. No
Non-Employee Director shall have any rights hereunder, except with respect to
equity awards granted pursuant to the Policy. This Policy shall become effective
on July 1, 2017.

for such service.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c)    Payment of Retainers. The annual retainers described in Sections 1(a) and
1(b) shall be earned on a quarterly basis based on a calendar quarter and shall
be payable by the Company in advance each calendar quarter. In the event that a
Non-Employee Director is initially appointed to the Board (the date of any such
initial election or appointment, such Non-Employee Director’s “Start Date”) on
any date other than the first day of a calendar quarter, such Non-Employee
Director shall receive, on or as soon as practicable following such Non-Employee
Director’s Start Date, a prorated portion of the retainer(s) otherwise payable
to such Non-Employee Director for such quarter pursuant to Sections 1(a) and
1(b), with such prorated portion determined by multiplying such otherwise
payable retainer(s) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days
remaining from such Non-Employee Director’s Start Date until the end of the
applicable calendar quarter and the denominator of which is the number of days
in the applicable calendar quarter. The retainers will be paid after deduction
of all applicable withholding taxes and social security contributions.
2.    Equity Compensation. Non-Employee Directors shall be granted the equity
awards described below. The awards described below shall be granted under and
shall be subject to the terms and provisions of the Company’s 2015 Incentive
Award Plan or Sub-Plan or any other applicable Company equity incentive plan
then-maintained by the Company (the “Equity Plan”) and shall be granted subject
to the execution and delivery of award agreements, including attached exhibits,
in substantially the forms previously approved by the Board. All applicable
terms of the Equity Plan apply to this Policy as if fully set forth herein, and
all grants of equity awards hereby are subject in all respects to the terms of
the Equity Plan. At the discretion of the Company, the exercise of an award
under the Equity Plan may be subject to the Non-Employee Director paying an
exercise price per share under the award of a sum not less than the nominal
value of each share.
(a)     Annual Awards.
(i)    Each Non-Employee Director, other than the Chairperson of the Board, who
(A) serves on the Board as of the date of any annual meeting of the Company’s
stockholders (an “Annual Meeting”) and (B) will continue to serve as a
Non-Employee Director immediately following such Annual Meeting shall be granted
restricted stock units with respect to ordinary shares of the Company with a
fair market value of $110,000, based on the most recent closing price of the
Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market as of the date of such award
(with the number of shares subject to such award subject to adjustment as
provided in the Equity Plan).
(ii)    The Chairperson who (A) serves on the Board as of the date of any Annual
Meeting and (B) will continue to serve as the Chairperson immediately following
such Annual Meeting shall be granted, restricted stock units with respect to
ordinary shares of the Company with a fair market value of $185,000, based on
the most recent closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Stock
Market as of the date of such award (with the number of shares subject to such
award subject to adjustment as provided in the Equity Plan).
The awards described in this Section 2(a) shall be referred to as “Annual
Awards.” The Board will approve all Annual Awards with an effective date of June
15 of each year. The Board may meet on or prior to June 15 without regard as to
the Company’s possession or not of material non-public information and approve
equity awards with an effective date on June 15.
(b) Except as otherwise determined by the Board, each Non-Employee Director who
is initially elected or appointed to the Board on a date other than the date of
an Annual Meeting shall be granted restricted stock units with respect to
ordinary shares of the Company with a fair market value based on the most recent
closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market on the
date of such award, equal to the product of (A) the amount of the Annual Award
for such Non-Employee Director set forth in Section 2(a) and (B) a fraction, the
numerator of which is (x) 365 minus (y) the number of days in the period
beginning on the date of the last Annual Meeting to occur prior to such Start
Date and ending on such Non-Employee Director’s Start Date and the denominator
of which is 365 (with the number of shares subject to such award subject to
adjustment as provided in the Equity Plan).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The awards described in this Section 2(b) shall be referred to as “Initial
Awards.” No Non-Employee Director shall be granted more than one Initial Award.
The Board will approve all Initial Awards with an effective date of March 15,
June 15, September 15 or December 15 of each year (each, a “Quarterly Grant
Date”). The Board may meet on or prior to a Quarterly Grant Date without regard
as to the Company’s possession or not of material non-public information and
approve equity awards with an effective date on the Quarterly Grant Date.

(c)    Termination of Service of Employee Directors. Each member of the Board
who is an employee of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company
whose employment with the Company and any parent or subsidiary of the Company is
terminated but who remains on the Board (and becomes a Non-Employee Director)
following such termination of employment will receive an Initial Award pursuant
to Section 2(b) above on the date of his or her termination of employment (which
shall be considered such Non-Employee Director’s Start Date for purposes of such
Initial Award) and, to the extent that he or she is otherwise eligible, will
receive, following such termination of employment, Annual Awards as described in
Section 2(a) above.
(d)    Vesting of Awards Granted to Non-Employee Directors. Each Annual Award
and each Initial Award shall vest on the the first anniversary of the date of
grant. No portion of an Annual Award or Initial Award that is unvested at the
time of a Non-Employee Director’s termination of service on the Board shall
become vested thereafter. All of a Non-Employee Director’s Annual Awards and
Initial Awards shall vest in full immediately prior to the occurrence of a
Change in Control (as defined in the Equity Plan), to the extent outstanding at
such time.
