 Exhibit 10.7 

AMENDED AND RESTATED ATERIAN, INC. 2019 EQUITY
PLAN 
  
  

Plan Document 
  

 
 Adopted by
the Board of Directors: March 20, 2019 
 1. General.  

(a) Purpose. Aterian, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby establishes this “Amended and Restated Aterian, Inc. 2019
Equity Plan” (this “Plan”). This Plan is intended: (i) to retain the best available personnel to ensure the Company’s success and accomplish the Company’s goals; and (ii) to incentivize Employees,
Directors, and Consultants with long-term, equity-based compensation to align their interests with the interests of the Company’s stockholders, in both cases by providing for additional compensation for which value will be recognized in
connection with a liquidity event. 
 (b) Eligible Award Recipients. Employees and Consultants (together, “Eligible
Persons”) may receive Awards of Restricted Shares, subject to the terms of this Plan. 
 (c) Definitions. Capitalized
terms in this Plan are defined in Section 22. 
 (d) Effective Date. This Plan shall become effective on the
date it is approved by the Board.  
 (e) Effect on Other Plans, Awards, and Arrangements. No payment pursuant to this Plan
shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any Company or any Affiliate benefit plan, except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in writing in such other plan. 

2. Shares Available for Awards.  

(a) Share Reserve; In General. A total of 9,461,538 Shares may be issued under this Plan, subject to Section 9
below (the “Share Reserve”). The Shares deliverable pursuant to Awards shall be authorized but unissued or reacquired Shares, including Shares that the Company repurchased on the open market or otherwise, or that the Company
otherwise holds in treasury or trust. 
 (b) Replenishment; Counting of Shares. Notwithstanding Section 2(a), Shares withheld in
connection with any Withholding Taxes or payment of purchase price relating to an Award shall not be available for new Awards under this Plan, and Shares tendered by a Participant in satisfaction of Withholding Taxes or payment of purchase price
shall not be available for future Awards under this Plan. 
 3. Eligibility.  

(a) General Rule. The Committee shall determine which Eligible Persons may receive Awards. Each Award shall be evidenced by an Award
Agreement that: sets forth the Grant Date and all other terms and conditions of the Award; is signed on behalf of the Company; and (unless waived by the Committee) is signed by the Eligible Person in acceptance of the Award. The grant of an Award
shall not obligate the Company or any Affiliate to continue the employment or service of any Eligible Person, or to provide any future Awards or other remuneration at any time thereafter. 












 (b) Consultants. A Consultant is eligible for an Award only if, at grant, the
offer and/or sale of Company securities to the Consultant is exempt under Rule 701 or satisfies another exemption under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and complies with all other Applicable Law. 

4. Reserved. 
 5. Restricted
Shares. 
 (a) Grant. The Committee may grant Restricted Shares to Eligible Persons, in all cases pursuant to
Award Agreements, setting forth terms and conditions consistent with this Plan. As to each Restricted Share Award, the Committee shall establish the number of Shares deliverable or subject to the Award (which may be determined by a written formula),
and the period(s) of time at the end of which all or some restrictions specified in an Award Agreement shall lapse, and the Participant shall receive vested Shares (or cash to the extent provided in the Award Agreement) in settlement of the Award.
Such conditions may include restrictions concerning voting rights and transferability, and may lapse separately or in combination at such times and pursuant to such circumstances or based on such criteria as selected by the Committee, including,
without limitation, criteria based on the Participant’s duration of Continuous Service; individual, group, or divisional performance criteria; or Company performance. Subject to applicable law, the Committee may make Restricted Share Awards
with or without the requirement for payment of consideration. 
 (b) Vesting and Forfeiture. In an Award Agreement granting
Restricted Shares, the Committee shall set forth the terms and conditions that establish a “substantial risk of forfeiture” under Code Section 83, and when the Participant’s interest in the Restricted Shares become vested and non-forfeitable. Except as set forth in the Award Agreement or as the Committee otherwise determines, the Participant shall forfeit his or her non-vested Restricted Shares
upon termination of his or her Continuous Service for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company has a contingent contractual obligation to provide for accelerated vesting of Restricted Shares after termination of a Participant’s
Continuous Service, such Restricted Shares shall remain outstanding until the maximum contractual time for determining whether such contingency will occur, and terminate or be forfeited, as applicable, at such time if the contingency has not then
occurred. 
 (c) Certificates for Restricted Shares. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, the Company shall hold
certificates or, if not certificated, other indicia representing Restricted Shares until the restrictions lapse, and, if Restricted Shares are certificated, the Participant shall provide the Company with appropriate stock powers endorsed in blank.
The Participant’s failure to provide such stock powers within 10 days after a written request from the Company shall entitle the Committee to unilaterally declare all or some of the Participant’s Restricted Shares forfeited.  

  
 2 













 (d) Section 83(b) Elections. A Participant may not make an election under Code
Section 83(b) with respect to Restricted Shares issued under this Plan. 
 (e) Issuance of Shares upon Vesting. As soon as
practicable after a Participant’s Restricted Shares vest, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, free from vesting restrictions, one Share for each surrendered and vested Restricted Share, unless an Award Agreement provides otherwise and
subject to Section 7 regarding Withholding Taxes. No fractional Shares shall be distributed, and cash shall be paid in lieu thereof; provided, however, the Committee may provide that fractional Shares shall
accumulate.
 6. Reserved. 
 7.
Taxes; Withholding; Code Section 409A.  
 (a) General
Rule. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan or an Award Agreement to the contrary, Participants are solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may arise in connection with Awards, and neither the
Company, nor the Committee, nor any Affiliate, nor any of their employees, directors, or agents shall have any duty or obligation to mitigate, minimize, indemnify, or to otherwise hold any Participant harmless from any such consequences. 

(b) Withholding. The Company’s obligation to deliver Shares (or to pay cash) to Participants pursuant to Awards is at all times
subject to their prior or coincident satisfaction of all Withholding Taxes. Except as otherwise provided under this Plan or in an Award Agreement, no later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in a Participant’s taxable
income for U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. income or social insurance tax purposes with respect to an Award, the Participant shall pay to the Company (or to the Affiliate employing the Participant), or
make arrangements satisfactory to the Company (or such Affiliate) for the payment of, any such Withholding Taxes (which normally will not apply to non-Employees). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and
its Affiliates may, in each of their sole discretion, withhold a sufficient number of Shares that are otherwise issuable to the Participant pursuant to the Award (and/or cash that is otherwise payable to the Participant) in order to satisfy all or
part of Withholding Taxes. 
 (c) U.S. Code Section 409A. To the extent that the Committee determines that any
Award granted under this Plan is subject to Code Section 409A, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Code Section 409A. To the extent applicable, this Plan and Award Agreements
shall be interpreted in accordance with Code Section 409A and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder. The Committee may adopt such amendments to this Plan and the applicable Award Agreement or adopt
other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies, and procedures or cancelling all or some Awards with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate (i) to exempt an
Award from Code Section 409A and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (ii) to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and related Department of Treasury guidance and
thereby avoid the application of any penalty taxes under Code Section 409A. 

  
 3 













 (d) Unfunded Tax Status. This Plan is an “unfunded” plan for incentive
compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Person pursuant to an Award, nothing in this Plan or any Award Agreement shall give the Person any rights greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Affiliate, and a
Participant’s rights under this Plan at all times constitute an unsecured claim against the Company’s general assets for the collection of benefits as they come due. Neither the Participant nor his or her duly-authorized transferee or
Beneficiaries shall have any claim against nor rights in any specific assets, Shares, or other funds of the Company, except as may be the case with respect to Restricted Shares. 

8. Non-Transferability of Awards. 

(a) General. Except as set forth in this Section, or as otherwise approved by the Committee and subject to restrictions on transfer
contained in the Bylaws or other organizational documents of the Company, Awards may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution. The
designation of a death Beneficiary by a Participant will not constitute a transfer. 
 (b) Limited Transferability Rights. Subject to
restrictions on transfer contained in the Bylaws or other organizational documents of the Company, an Award in the form of Restricted Shares may be transferred, on such terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate, either (i) by
instrument to the Participant’s Immediate Family, (ii) by instrument to an inter vivos or testamentary trust (or other entity) in which the Award is to be passed to the Participant’s designated Beneficiaries, (iii) pursuant to a
domestic relations order, or (iv) by gift to charitable institutions. Any transferee of the Participant’s rights shall succeed and be subject to all of the terms of the applicable Award Agreement and this Plan. 

(c) Death. In the event of the death of a Participant, any outstanding vested Awards issued to the Participant shall automatically be
transferred to the Participant’s Beneficiary (or, if no Beneficiary is designated or surviving, to the person or persons to whom the Participant’s rights under the Award pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution in the state in
which the Participant was domiciled at the time of his or her death).  
 (d) Lapsing of Restrictions. For the avoidance of
doubt, the limitations in this Section 8 shall expire with respect to vested Shares upon an Initial Public Offering. 
 9. Change in Capital
Structure; Change in Control; Etc. 
 (a) Changes in Capitalization. The Committee shall equitably adjust the
number of Shares covered by each outstanding Award, and the number of Shares that have been authorized for issuance under this Plan, but as to which no Awards have yet been granted, or that have been returned to this Plan upon cancellation,
forfeiture, or expiration of an Award, or any other Plan limits, as well as the purchase price per Share covered by each such outstanding Award, to reflect any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a stock-split, reverse
stock-split, stock dividend, combination, recapitalization, or reclassification of the Shares, merger, consolidation, change in organization form, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares effected without receipt or payment
of consideration by the 

  
 4 













 
Company. In the event of any such transaction or event, the Committee may provide in substitution for any or all outstanding Awards, or as an alternative to an adjustment, such alternative
consideration (including cash or securities of any surviving entity) as it may in good faith determine to be equitable under the circumstances and may, if substitute consideration is provided, require in connection therewith the surrender of all
Awards so substituted. In any case, such substitution of consideration shall not require the consent of any Participant. 
 (b)
Dissolution or Liquidation. Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, in the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, other than as part of a Change in Control, each Award will terminate immediately prior to the
consummation of such dissolution or liquidation, subject to the ability of the Committee to exercise any discretion authorized in the case of a Change in Control. 

(c) Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control each outstanding Award shall vest in full, and the Participant shall
be entitled to receive the same per-Share consideration as is paid in respect of Shares generally. 
 10.
Termination, Rescission, and Recapture of Awards. 
 (a) Each Award under this Plan is intended to align the
Participant’s long-term interests with those of the Company. Accordingly, unless otherwise expressly provided in an Award Agreement, the Committee may terminate any outstanding, unexpired, or unpaid Awards
(“Termination”), rescind any payment or delivery pursuant to the Award (“Rescission”), or recapture any Shares or proceeds from the Participant’s sale of Shares issued pursuant to the Award
(“Recapture”), if the Participant does not comply with the conditions of subsections 10(b), 10(c), and 10(e) (collectively, the “Conditions”) at all times from the date of an Award
through its vesting.
 (b) A Participant shall not, without the Company’s prior written authorization, disclose to anyone outside the
Company, or use in other than the Company’s business, any proprietary or confidential information or material, as those or other similar terms are used in any applicable patent, confidentiality, inventions, secrecy, or other agreement between
the Participant and the Company or one of its Affiliates (or policy applicable to the Participant), including but not limited to those with regard to proprietary or confidential information or intellectual property (including but not limited to
patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, inventions, developments, improvements, proprietary information, confidential business, and personnel information) (each a “Confidentiality Agreement”), and a Participant shall
promptly disclose and assign to the Company or its designee all right, title, and interest in such intellectual property, and shall take all reasonable steps necessary to enable the Company to secure all right, title, and interest in such
intellectual property in the United States and in any foreign country. Notwithstanding the Participant’s confidentiality obligations set forth in this Plan or any Confidentiality Agreements, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, the
Participant will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (i) is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either
directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing
is made under seal. If the 

  
 5 













 
Participant files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, he or she may disclose the trade secret to his or her attorney and use the trade secret
information in the court proceeding, if he or she: (1) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (2) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. In the event it is determined that disclosure of
Company trade secrets was not done in good faith pursuant to the above, the Participant may be subject to substantial damages under federal criminal and civil law, including punitive damages and attorneys’ fees. 

(c) Upon payment, or delivery of cash or Shares pursuant to an Award, the Participant shall, if requested in writing by the Committee (or the
Company), certify on a form acceptable to the Committee (or, if applicable, the Company) that he or she is in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Plan. 

(d) The Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, impose a Termination, Rescission, and/or Recapture with respect to any or all of a
Participant’s relevant Awards or restricted Shares if the Committee determines, in its sole and absolute discretion that (i) the Participant has materially violated any agreement between the Participant and the Company or one of its
Affiliates, (ii) within six months after the termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service, the Participant has solicited any non-administrative employee of the Company to terminate employment
with the Company, or (iii) during his or her Continuous Service, a Participant: (A) has rendered services to or otherwise directly or indirectly engaged in or assisted any organization or business that, in the judgment of the Committee, in
its sole and absolute discretion, is or is working to become competitive with the Company or one of its Affiliates; (B) has solicited any non-administrative employee of the Company to terminate employment
with the Company; or (C) has engaged in activities which are materially prejudicial to or in conflict with the interests of the Company, including any breaches of fiduciary duty or the duty of loyalty. 

(e) Within 10 days after receiving notice from the Committee of any such activity described in Section 10(d) above,
the Participant shall deliver to the Company the Shares acquired pursuant to the Award, or, if Participant has sold the Shares, the gain realized, or payment received as a result of the rescinded exercise, payment, or delivery. Any payment by the
Participant to the Company pursuant to this Section 10 shall be made either in cash or by returning to the Company the number of Shares that the Participant received in connection with the rescinded exercise, payment, or
delivery. 
 (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10, the Committee has sole and absolute
discretion not to require Termination, Rescission, and/or Recapture, and its determination not to require Termination, Rescission, and/or Recapture with respect to any particular act by a particular Participant or Award shall not in any way reduce
or eliminate the Committee’s authority to require Termination, Rescission, and/or Recapture with respect to any other act or Participant or Award. Nothing in this Section 10 shall be construed to impose obligations on
the Participant to refrain from engaging in lawful competition with the Company after the termination of Continuous Service that does not violate the Conditions, other than any obligations that are part of any separate agreement between the Company
and the Participant or that arise under Applicable Law. 

  
 6 













 (g) If any provision within this Section 10 is determined to be
unenforceable or invalid under any Applicable Law, such provision will be applied to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, and shall automatically be deemed amended in a manner consistent with its objectives and any limitations required
under Applicable Law. 
 (h) This Section 10 shall is supplemental to, and does not supersede, any other written
agreement between the Participant, on the one hand, and the Company or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand. 
 11. Recoupment of
Awards.  
 (a) Unless otherwise specifically provided in an Award Agreement, and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law,
the Committee may in its sole and absolute discretion, without obtaining the approval or consent of the Company’s stockholders or of any Participant, require that any Participant reimburse the Company for all or any portion of any Awards
granted under this Plan (“Reimbursement”), or the Committee may require the Termination or Rescission of, or the Recapture relating to, any Award held by the Participant, if and to the extent in the Committee’s view the
Participant engaged in fraud or misconduct that caused or partially caused the need for a material financial restatement by the Company or any Affiliate; or 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, all Awards shall be subject to Reimbursement, Termination, Rescission, and/or Recapture to
the extent required by Applicable Law, including but not limited to Section 10D of the Exchange Act. 
 12. Administration of this
Plan.  
 (a) In General. The Committee shall administer this Plan in accordance with its terms, provided
that the Board may act in lieu of the Committee on any matter. The Committee shall hold meetings at such times and places as it may determine and may prescribe, amend, and rescind such rules and regulations, and procedures for the conduct of its
business as it deems advisable. In the absence of a Committee, the Board shall function as the Committee for all purposes of this Plan. 

(b) Committee Composition. The Board shall appoint the members of the Committee. Subject to Applicable Law and the restrictions set
forth in this Plan, the Committee may delegate administrative functions to individuals who are Directors or Employees, and may authorize one or more executive officers to make Awards to Eligible Persons other than themselves. The Board may at any
time appoint additional members to the Committee, remove and replace members of the Committee with or without Cause, and fill vacancies on the Committee however caused. The Committee shall have the power to delegate to a subcommittee of the Board
any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise, subject to such resolutions, consistent with this Plan, as the Board may adopt from time to time. 

  
 7 













 (c) Powers of the Committee. Subject to the provisions of this Plan, the Committee
shall have the authority, in its sole discretion: 
  

	 	(i)	 to grant Awards and to determine Eligible Persons to whom Awards shall be granted from time to time, and the
number of Shares, units, or dollars to be covered by each Award; 


  

	 	(ii)	 to determine, from time to time, the Fair Market Value of Shares; 



 

	 	(iii)	 to determine, and to set forth in Award Agreements, the terms and conditions of all Awards, including any
applicable purchase price; the installments and conditions under which an Award shall become vested (which may be based on performance), terminated, expired, cancelled, or replaced; the circumstances for vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture
restrictions; and other restrictions and limitations; 


  

	 	(iv)	 to approve the forms of Award Agreements and all other documents, notices, and certificates in connection
therewith, which need not be identical either as to type of Award or among Participants; 


  

	 	(v)	 to construe and interpret the terms of this Plan and any Award Agreement, to determine the meaning of their
terms, to correct any defect, omission, or inconsistency in this Plan or any Award Agreement, in a manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or expedient to make this Plan or an Award fully effective, and to prescribe, amend, and rescind
rules and procedures relating to this Plan and its administration; 


  

	 	(vi)	 to the extent consistent with the purposes of this Plan and without amending this Plan, to modify, to cancel,
or to waive the Company’s rights with respect to any Awards, to adjust or to modify Award Agreements for changes in Applicable Law, and to recognize differences in foreign law, tax policies, or customs; 



 

	 	(vii)	 to require, as a condition precedent to the grant, vesting, settlement, and/or issuance of Shares pursuant to
any Award, that a Participant agree to execute a general release of claims (in any form that the Committee may require, in its sole discretion, which form may include any other provisions, e.g., confidentiality and restrictions on competition, that
are found in general claims release agreements that the Company utilizes or expects to utilize); 


  

	 	(viii)	 in the event that the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated
system for the documentation, granting, settlement, or exercise of Awards, such as a system using an Internet website or interactive voice response, to implement paperless documentation, granting, settlement, or exercise of Awards by a Participant
through the use of such an automated system; and 


  

	 	(ix)	 to make all determinations and to take all other actions that the Committee may consider necessary or desirable
to administer this Plan or to effectuate its purposes. 



  
 8 













 (d) Powers of the Company. Unless applicable law requires otherwise, all
administrative and discretionary authority given to the Company under this Plan shall be exercised by the most senior human resources executive of the Company, or such other person or committee (including without limitation the Committee) as the
Committee may designate from time to time. 
 (e) Local Law Adjustments and Sub-plans. 

 

	 	(i)	 To facilitate the making of any grant of an Award under this Plan, the Committee may adopt rules and provide
for such special terms for Awards to Participants who are located within the United States, foreign nationals, or employed by the Company or any Affiliate outside of the United States of America as the Committee may consider necessary or appropriate
to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy, or custom. Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding the conversion of local currency, taxes, withholding procedures, and
handling of stock certificates, which vary with the customs and requirements of particular countries. The Committee may adopt procedures or sub-plans and establish escrow accounts and trusts, and settle Awards
in cash in lieu of shares, as may be appropriate, required, or applicable to particular locations and countries. 


  

	 	(ii)	 Action by Committee (e.g., to permit participation in this Plan by Eligible Persons who are non-United States nationals or are primarily employed or providing services outside the United States). The Committee may modify the terms of any Award under this Plan made to or held by a Participant who is then a
resident, or is primarily employed or providing services, outside of the United States, in any manner deemed by the Committee to be necessary or appropriate in order that such Award shall conform to laws, regulations, and customs of the country in
which the Participant is then a resident or primarily employed or providing services, or so that the value and other benefits of the Award to the Participant, as affected by non-United States tax laws and
other restrictions applicable as a result of the Participant’s residence, employment, or providing services abroad, shall be comparable to the value of such Award to a Participant who is a resident, or is primarily employed or providing
services, in the United States. An Award may be modified under this subsection in a manner that is inconsistent with the express terms of this Plan, so long as such modifications will not contravene any Applicable Law or regulation or result in
actual liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act for the Participant whose Award is modified. Each member of the Committee is entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to that member by an
officer or other Employee of the Company or any Affiliate, the Company’s independent certified public accountants, or any executive compensation Consultant or other professional retained by the Company or the Committee to assist in the
administration of this Plan, or by any Participant or Beneficiary. 



  
 9 













 (f) Deference to Committee Determinations. The Committee shall have the discretion to
interpret or construe ambiguous, unclear, or implied (but omitted) terms as it deems to be appropriate in its sole discretion, and to make any findings of fact needed in the administration of this Plan or Award Agreements. The Committee’s prior
exercise of its discretionary authority shall not obligate it to exercise its authority in a like fashion thereafter. The Committee’s interpretation and construction of any provision of this Plan, or of any Award or Award Agreement, and all
determinations the Committee makes pursuant to this Plan shall be final, binding, and conclusive (subject only to the Committee’s inherent authority to change its determinations). The validity of any such interpretation, construction, decision
or finding of fact shall not be given de novo review if challenged in court, by arbitration, or in any other forum, and shall be upheld unless clearly made in bad faith or materially affected by fraud. 

(g) Any determination made by the Committee with respect to any provisions of this Plan may be made on an Award-by-Award basis; the Committee has no obligation to be uniform, consistent, or nondiscriminatory between classes of similarly-situated Awards, except as required by Applicable Law. 

(h) Claims Limitations Period. Any Participant who believes he or she is being denied any benefit or right under this Plan or under any
Award may file a written claim with the Committee. Any claim must be delivered to the Committee within 45 days of the specific event-giving rise to the claim. Untimely claims will not be processed and shall be deemed denied. The Committee, or its
designee, will notify the Participant of its decision in writing as soon as administratively practicable. Claims shall be deemed denied if the Committee does not respond in writing within 120 days of the date the written claim is delivered to the
Committee. The Committee’s decision is final and conclusive, and binding on all persons. No lawsuit relating to this Plan may be filed before a written claim is filed with the Committee and is denied or deemed denied, and any lawsuit must be
filed within one year of such denial or deemed denial or be forever barred. 
 (i) No Liability; Indemnification. Neither the Board
nor any Committee member, nor any Person acting at the direction of the Board or the Committee, shall be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction, or determination made in good faith with respect to this Plan, any Award, or any
Award Agreement. The Company shall pay or reimburse any Director, Employee, or Consultant who in good faith takes action on behalf of this Plan, for all expenses incurred with respect to this Plan, and to the full extent allowable under Applicable
Law shall indemnify each and every one of them for any claims, liabilities, and costs (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising out of their good faith performance of duties on behalf of this Plan. The Company and its Affiliates may, but
shall not be required to, obtain liability insurance for this purpose. 
 (j) Expenses. The Company shall bear the expenses of
administering this Plan.

 13. Modification of Awards.  

Within the limitations of this Plan, the Committee may modify an Award to accelerate the vesting of any Award, to extend or renew outstanding
Awards, or to make any change that this Plan would permit for a new Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no modification of an outstanding Award may materially and adversely affect a Participant’s rights thereunder unless (a) the
Participant provides written consent to the modification, or (b) such modification is permitted by another Section of this Plan or (c) such modification applies uniformly to all Participants and is approved by Participants holding Awards
covering at least 70% of the Shares subject to Awards issued under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the limitations of Applicable Law, if any, and without the affected Participant’s consent, the Board may amend the terms of
any one or more Awards if necessary to bring the Award into compliance with Section 409A of the Code. 
 14. Plan Amendment and
Termination.  
 The Board may amend or terminate this Plan as it shall deem advisable; provided that no change shall
be made that increases the total number of Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to Awards (except pursuant to Section 9 above), unless such change is authorized by the stockholders of the Company to the extent required by
Applicable Law. A termination or amendment of this Plan shall not materially and adversely affect a Participant’s rights under an Award previously granted to him or her unless the Participant consents in writing to such termination or
amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may amend this Plan to comply with changes in tax or securities laws or regulations, or in the interpretation thereof. 

15. Term of Plan.  
 If not
sooner terminated by the Board, this Plan shall terminate at the close of business on March 20, 2022. No Awards shall be made under this Plan after its termination. 

16. Governing Law.  
 The
terms of this Plan and all agreements hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the State’s conflict of laws rules. 

17. Laws and Regulations. 

(a) General Rules. This Plan, the granting of Awards, and the obligations of the Company and Committee hereunder (including those
to pay cash or to deliver, sell or accept the surrender of any of its Shares or other securities) shall be subject to all Applicable Law. In the event that any Shares are not registered under any Applicable Law prior to the required delivery of them
pursuant to Awards, the Committee may require, as a condition to their issuance or delivery, that the persons to whom the Shares are to be issued or delivered make any written representations and warranties (such as that such Shares are being
acquired by the Participant for investment for the Participant’s own account and not with a view to, for resale in connection with, or with an intent of participating directly or indirectly in, any distribution of such Shares) that the
Committee may reasonably require, and the Committee may in its sole discretion include a legend to such effect on the certificates representing any Shares issued or delivered pursuant to this Plan. 

(b) Blackout Periods. Notwithstanding any contrary terms within this Plan or any Award Agreement, the Committee shall have the
absolute discretion to impose a “blackout” period on the settlement of any Award, with respect to any or all Participants (including those whose Continuous Service has ended) to the extent the Committee determines that doing so is
desirable or required to comply with applicable securities laws. 

  
 11 













 (c) Data Privacy. As a condition of receipt of any Award, each Participant explicitly
and unambiguously consents to the collection, use, and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal data as described in this Section by and among, as applicable, the Company and its Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing,
administering, and managing this Plan and Awards and the Participant’s participation in this Plan. In furtherance of such implementation, administration, and management, the Company and its Affiliates may hold certain personal information about
a Participant with respect to one or more Awards under this Plan, including, but not limited to, the Participant’s name, home address, telephone number, date of birth, social security or insurance number or other identification number, salary,
nationality, job title(s), information regarding any securities of the Company or any of its Affiliates, and details of all Awards (the “Data”). In addition to transferring the Data amongst themselves as necessary for the
purpose of implementation, administration, and management of this Plan and Awards, and the Participant’s participation in this Plan, the Company and its Affiliates each may transfer the Data to any third parties assisting the Company (including
the Committee) in the implementation, administration, and management of this Plan and Awards and the Participant’s participation in this Plan. Recipients of the Data may be located in the Participant’s country or elsewhere, and the
Participant’s country and any given recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections. By accepting an Award, each Participant authorizes such recipients to receive, possess, use, retain, and transfer the Data, in

Subject to any contrary terms set forth in any Award Agreement, for any period preceding the date of the Initial Public Offering, this Section

Service at not less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares to be purchased on the date of termination of Continuous Service, then: 


  

	 	(A)	 the right to repurchase shall be exercised for cash or cancellation of purchase money indebtedness for the

of transactions continue to have substantially the same proportionate ownership in an entity which owns all or substantially all of the assets of the Company immediately following such transaction or series of transactions, or (II) any Person

Committee, which Award is otherwise validly made under this Plan.
