Stock Subject to the Plan. Subject to the provisions of Section 15 of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be subject to option and sold under the Plan is 2,666,666 Shares, together with an
annual increase in the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance hereunder on the first day of the Company’s fiscal year, beginning with January 1, 2001, equal to the lesser of (i) 2,333,333 shares, (ii) five percent
(5.0%) of the outstanding shares of the Company as of the last day of the prior fiscal year or (iii) such amount as determined by the Board of Directors. The Shares may be authorized but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock. 
 If an Award expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, or, with respect to Options, is surrendered pursuant to an Option
Exchange Program, or, with respect to Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares or Performance Units, is forfeited to or repurchased by the Company, the unpurchased Shares (or for Awards other than Options and Stock Appreciate
Rights, the forfeited or repurchased Shares) which were subject thereto shall become available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless the Plan has terminated). With respect to Stock Appreciation Rights, only Shares actually issued pursuant
to a Stock Appreciation Right shall cease to be available under the Plan; all remaining Shares under Stock Appreciation Rights shall remain available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless the Plan has terminated). However, Shares that have
actually been issued under the Plan under any Award shall not be returned to the Plan and shall not become available for future distribution under the Plan; provided, however, that if unvested Shares of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units,
Performance Shares or Performance Units are repurchased by the Company or are forfeited to the Company, such Shares will become available for future grant under the Plan. Shares used to pay the tax and exercise price of an Award will become
available for future grant or sale under the Plan. To the extent an Award under the Plan is paid out in cash rather than Shares, such cash payment will not result in reducing the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and, subject to adjustment provided in Section 15, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options shall equal the aggregate Share number stated in this Section, plus,
to the extent allowable under Section 422 of the Code, any Shares that become available for issuance under the Plan under this Section. 
 4. Administration of the Plan. 
 (a) Procedure. 
 (i) Multiple Administrative Bodies. The Plan may be administered by different Committees with respect to different groups of Service Providers.

  

 -4- 








 (ii) Section 162(m). To the extent that the Administrator determines it to be desirable to
qualify Options granted hereunder as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Plan shall be administered by a Committee of two or more “outside directors” within the meaning of
Section 162(m) of the Code. 
 (iii) Rule 16b-3. To the extent desirable to qualify transactions hereunder as exempt under
Rule 16b-3, the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be structured to satisfy the requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3. 
 (iv) Other Administration. Other than as provided above, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee, which Committee shall be constituted to satisfy Applicable Laws. 
 (b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and, in the case of a Committee, the specific duties
delegated by the Board to such Committee, and subject to the approval of any relevant authorities, the Administrator shall have the authority in its discretion: 
 (i) to determine the Fair Market Value; 
 (ii) to select the Service Providers to whom Awards may from time
to time be granted hereunder; 
 (iii) to determine the number of Shares to be covered by each Award granted hereunder; 
 (iv) to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan; 
 (v) to determine the terms and conditions, of any Award granted hereunder. Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price per Share of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights to be
granted, the time or times when Options may be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Award or the Common Stock relating
thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine; 
 (vi) to determine whether and
under what circumstances an Option may be settled in cash under subsection 8(d)(v) instead of Common Stock; 
 (vii) to reduce the exercise
price of any Option to the then current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock covered by such Option has declined since the date the Option was granted; 
 (viii) to initiate an Option Exchange Program; 
 (ix) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of qualifying for preferred tax treatment under foreign tax laws; 

 

 -5- 








 (x) to allow Participants to satisfy withholding tax obligations by electing to have the Company
withhold from the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Award that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the
amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. All elections by Participants to have Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions as the Administrator may deem necessary or advisable; 
 (xi) to grant in addition to the incentives described in Sections 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 below, other incentives payable in cash or Shares under the Plan
as determined by the Administrator to be in the best interests of the Company and subject to any terms and conditions the Administrator deems advisable; 
 (xii) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards granted pursuant to the Plan; and 
 (xiii)
to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan. 
 (c) Effect of Administrator’s
Decision. All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and binding on all Participants. 
 5.
Eligibility. 
 Nonstatutory Stock Options, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Stock Appreciation Rights, Performance Units,
Performance Shares, and such other cash or stock awards as the Administrator determines may be granted to Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. A Service Provider who has been granted an Award may, if he or she
is otherwise eligible, be granted an additional Award or Awards. 
 6. Limitations. 
 (a) Neither the Plan nor any Award shall confer upon any Participant any right with respect to continuing the Participant’s relationship as a
Service Provider with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or the Company’s right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause. 
 (b) Upon the Company, or a successor corporation issuing any class of common equity securities required to be registered under Section 12 of the
Exchange Act, or upon the Plan being assumed by a corporation having a class of common equity securities required to be registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, the following limitations shall apply to grants of Awards to Service
Providers: 
 (i) No Employee shall be granted in any fiscal year, Options or Stock Appreciation Rights to purchase more than 1,000,000
Shares. 
  

 -6- 








 (ii) In connection with his or her initial employment, an Employee may be granted Options or Stock
Appreciation Rights to purchase up to an additional 666,666 Shares which shall not count against the amount set forth in subsection (i) above. 
 (iii) No Employee shall receive in any fiscal year, more than an aggregate of 500,000 Shares of Restricted Stock; provided, however, that in connection with an Employee’s initial service as an Employee, an
Employee may be granted an aggregate of up to an additional 500,000 Shares of Restricted Stock. 
 (iv) No Employee shall receive in any
fiscal year, more than an aggregate of 500,000 Shares of Restricted Stock Units; provided, however, that in connection with an Employee’s initial service as an Employee, an Employee may be granted an aggregate of up to an additional 500,000
Shares of Restricted Stock Units. 
 (v) During any fiscal year, (a) no Employee shall receive Performance Units having an initial
value greater than $500,000, and (b) no Employee shall receive more than 500,000 Performance Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with an Employee initial service as an Employee, an Employee may be granted up to an additional
500,000 Performance Shares. 
 (vi) The foregoing limitations shall be adjusted appropriately in connection with any change in the
Company’s capitalization as described in Section 12. 
 (vii) If an Option is cancelled in the same fiscal year of the Company in
which it was granted (other than in connection with a transaction described in Section 12), the cancelled Option will be counted against the limits set forth in subsections (i) and (ii) above. For this purpose, if the exercise price
of an Option is reduced, the transaction will be treated as a cancellation of the Option and the grant of a new Option. 
 7.
Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the Board; provided, however, the Plan shall not become effective until the effective date of the Company’s initial public offering pursuant to a registration
statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated under Section 17 of the Plan. 
 8. Options. 
 (a) Limitations.
Each Option shall be designated in the Option Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to
which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options.
For purposes of this Section 8(a), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is
granted. 
 (b) Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be stated in the Option Agreement; provided, however, that the term
shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Option is granted, 

  

 -7- 








 
owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of
the Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement. 
 (c)
Option Exercise Price and Consideration. 
 (i) Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the Administrator, but shall be subject to the following: 
 (1) In the case of
an Incentive Stock Option 
 (A) granted to an Employee who, at the time of grant of such Option, owns stock representing more than ten
percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. 
 (B) granted to any other Employee, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

 (2) In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option 
 (A) granted to a Service Provider who, at the time of grant of such Option, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or
Subsidiary, the exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of the grant. 
 (B) granted to any
other Service Provider, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. 
 (3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price other than as required above pursuant to a merger or other corporate transaction. 
 (ii) Form of Consideration. The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment,
shall be determined by the Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be determined at the time of grant). Such consideration may consist of (1) cash, (2) check, (3) promissory note, (4) other Shares
which (x) in the case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option, have been owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender, and (y) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the
aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which such Option shall be exercised, (5) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with such other documentation as the Administrator and the broker, if applicable, shall require to
effect an exercise of the Option and delivery to the Company of the sale or loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price, (6) consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection
with the Plan, (7) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment, or (8) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws. In making its determination as to the type
of consideration to accept, the Administrator shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to benefit the Company. 
  

 -8- 








 (d) Exercise of Option. 
 (i) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms hereof at
such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Options granted hereunder shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence. An
Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. 
 An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) written or
electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full payment may consist of any
consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if requested by the Optionee, in the
name of the Optionee and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other
rights as a Stockholder shall exist with respect to the Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend
or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 15 of the Plan. 
 Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

 (ii) Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, such Optionee may
exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement (of at least thirty (30) days) to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the
term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Optionee’s termination. If, on the date of
termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time
specified by the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. 
 (iii)
Disability of Optionee. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Optionee’s Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent
the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain
exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee’s termination. If such disability is not a “disability” as such term is defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option such
Incentive Stock 

  

 -9- 








 
Option shall automatically cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option on the day
three months and one day following such termination. If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination,
the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. 
 (iv) Death of Optionee. If an Optionee dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised within such period of time as is
specified in the Option Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant), by the Optionee’s estate or by a person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or
inheritance, but only to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death. In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee’s
termination. If, at the time of death, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan. The Option may be exercised by the executor or
administrator of the Optionee’s estate or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to exercise the Option under the Optionee’s will or the laws of descent or distribution. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the
Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. 
 (v) Buyout Provisions. The Administrator
may at any time offer to buy out for a payment in cash or Shares, an Option previously granted, based on such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the Optionee at the time that such offer is made. 

9. Restricted Stock. 
 (a)
Grant of Restricted Stock. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Shares of Restricted Stock to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole
discretion, shall determine. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection (a), during any fiscal year of the Company, no Employee shall receive more than an aggregate of 500,000 Shares of Restricted Stock; provided, however, that in
connection with an Employee’s initial employment, an Employee may be granted up to an additional 500,000 Shares of Restricted Stock. 
 (b) Restricted Stock Agreement. Each Award of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Period of Restriction, the number of Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions as the
Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, Shares of Restricted Stock shall be held by the Company as escrow agent until the restrictions on such Shares have lapsed. 
 (c) Transferability. Except as provided in this Section 9, Shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or
otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction. 
 (d) Vesting Criteria and Other Terms.
The Administrator shall set the Period of Restriction, which, depending on the extent to which the vesting criteria are met, shall determine the 

  

 -10- 








 
number of Shares of Restricted Stock that shall be earned by the Participant. The Administrator may set vesting criteria based upon the achievement of
Company-wide, business unit, or individual goals (including, but not limited to, continued employment or service), or any other basis determined by the Administrator in its discretion. 
 (e) Removal of Restrictions. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9, Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted Stock
grant made under the Plan shall be released from escrow as soon as practicable after the last day of the Period of Restriction. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions shall lapse or be removed.

 (f) Voting Rights. During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may
exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares, unless the Administrator determines otherwise. 
 (g) Dividends and Other
Distributions. During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock shall not be entitled to receive any dividends or other distributions paid with respect to such, unless the Administrator determines otherwise.

 (h) Return of Restricted Stock to Company. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock for which
restrictions have not lapsed shall revert to the Company and again shall become available for grant under the Plan. 
 10. Restricted
Stock Units. 
 (a) Grant. Restricted Stock Units may be granted at any time and from time to time as determined by the
Administrator. Each Restricted Stock Unit grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine, including all terms, conditions, and
restrictions related to the grant, the number of Restricted Stock Units and the form of payout, which, subject to Section 10(d), may be left to the discretion of the Administrator. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection
(a), during any fiscal year of the Company, no Employee shall receive more than an aggregate of 500,000 Shares of Restricted Stock Units; provided, however, that in connection with an Employee’s initial employment, an Employee may be granted up
to an additional 500,000 Shares of Restricted Stock Units. 
 (b) Vesting Criteria and Other Terms. The Administrator shall set
vesting criteria in its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which the criteria are met, shall determine the number of Restricted Stock Units that will be paid out to the Participant. The Administrator may set vesting criteria based upon
the achievement of Company-wide, business unit, or individual goals (including, but not limited to, continued employment or service), or any other basis determined by the Administrator in its discretion. 
 (c) Earning Restricted Stock Units. Upon meeting the applicable vesting criteria, the Participant shall be entitled to receive a payout as
specified in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any vesting criteria that must be met to
receive a payout. 
  

 -11- 








 (d) Form and Timing of Payment. Payment of earned Restricted Stock Units shall be made as soon as
practicable after the date(s) set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Restricted Stock Units in cash, Shares, or a combination thereof. Shares represented by Restricted Stock
Units that are fully paid in cash again shall be available for grant under the Plan. 
 (e) Cancellation. On the date set forth in the
Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, all unearned Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited to the Company. 
 11. Stock Appreciation

be granted to Service Providers at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. 
 (b)
Number of Shares. The Administrator shall have complete discretion to determine the number of Stock Appreciation Rights granted to any Participant, provided that during any fiscal year, no Employee shall be granted Stock Appreciation Rights
to purchase more than 1,000,000 Shares; provided, however, that in connection with an Employee’s initial employment, an Employee may be granted Stock Appreciation Rights to purchase up to an additional 666,666 Shares.

Section 2(o), on the date of grant.

evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the exercise price, the term of the Stock Appreciation Right, the conditions of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine.

 (e) Expiration of Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall expire upon the date
determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rules of Section 8(d) also shall apply to Stock Appreciation Rights. 
 (f) Payment of Stock Appreciation Right Amount. Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, a Participant shall be entitled to receive payment
from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying: 
 (i) The difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of
exercise over the exercise price; times 
 (ii) The number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised.

 12. Performance Units and Performance Shares. 
 (a) Grant of Performance Units/Shares. Performance Units and Performance Shares may be granted to Service Providers at any time and from time to
time, as shall be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. The Administrator shall have complete discretion in determining the number of Performance Units/Shares granted to each Participant provided that during any fiscal year,
(a) no Employee shall receive Performance Units having an initial value greater than $500,000, and (b) no Employee shall receive more than 500,000 Performance Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, in connection with an
Employee’s initial employment, an Employee may be granted up to an additional 500,000 Performance Shares. 
 (b) Value of Performance
Units/Shares. Each Performance Unit shall have an initial value that is established by the Administrator on or before the date of grant. Each Performance Share shall have an initial value equal to the fair market value of a Share, determined in
accordance with Section 2(o), on the date of grant. 
 (c) Performance Objectives and Other Terms. The Administrator shall set
performance objectives or other vesting provisions (including, without limitation, continued status as a Service Provider) in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, shall determine the number or value of Performance
Units/Shares that shall be paid out to the Participant. The Administrator may set performance objectives based upon the achievement of Company-wide, divisional, or individual goals, or any other basis determined by the Administrator in its
discretion. Each Award of Performance Units/Shares shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that specifies the Performance Period, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine. 
 (d) Earning of Performance Units/Shares. After the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Units/Shares shall be
entitled to receive a payout of the number of Performance Units/Shares earned by the Participant over the Performance Period, to be determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance objectives or other vesting provisions
have been achieved. After the grant of a Performance Unit/Share, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any performance objectives or other vesting provisions for such Performance Unit/Share. 
 (e) Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Units/Shares. Payment of earned Performance Units/Shares shall be made as soon as practicable after
the expiration of the applicable Performance Period. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Performance Units/Shares in the form of cash, in Shares (which have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the value of the earned
Performance Units/Shares at the close of the applicable Performance Period) or in a combination thereof. 
 (f) Cancellation of
Performance Units/Shares. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all unearned or unvested Performance Units/Shares shall be forfeited to the Company, and again shall be available for grant under the Plan. 
  

 -13- 








 13. Performance Goals. Awards of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares and
Performance Units and other incentives under the Plan may be made subject to the attainment of performance goals relating to one or more business criteria within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and may provide for a targeted level or
levels of achievement (“Performance Goals”) including, but not limited to, cash flow; cash position; earnings before interest and taxes; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; earnings per Share; economic
profit; economic value added; equity or stockholder’s equity; market share; net income; net profit; net sales; operating earnings; operating income; profit before tax; ratio of debt to debt plus equity; ratio of operating earnings to capital
spending; sales growth; return on net assets; or total return to stockholders. Any Performance Goals may be used to measure the performance of the Company as a whole or a business unit of the Company and may be measured relative to a peer group or
index. The Performance Goals may differ from Participant to Participant and from Award to Award. Prior to the Determination Date, the Administrator shall determine whether any significant element(s) shall be included in or excluded from the
calculation of any Performance Goal with respect to any Participant. In all other respects, Performance Goals shall be calculated in accordance with the Company’s financial statements, generally accepted accounting principles, or under a
methodology established by the Administrator prior to the issuance of an Award, which is consistently applied and identified in the financial statements, including footnotes, or the management discussion and analysis section of the Company’s
annual report. 
 14. Non-Transferability of Awards. 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 and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant. 
 15. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Merger or Asset Sale. 
 (a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the Stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by
each outstanding Award, and the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Awards have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an
Award, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Award, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock
split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. The conversion of any convertible
securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as
expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price
of shares of Common Stock subject to an Award. 
 (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for an Optionee to have the right to
exercise his or her Option until fifteen (15) days prior to such transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock covered thereby, including Shares as to which the Option would not 

  

 -14- 








 
otherwise be exercisable. In addition, the Administrator may provide that any Company repurchase option applicable to any Shares purchased upon exercise of
an Option shall lapse as to all such Shares, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Award will terminate immediately prior to
the consummation of such proposed action. 
 (c) Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another
corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, each outstanding Award shall be assumed or an equivalent Award substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event
that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Award, the Participant shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise all of his or her outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, including Shares as to which such
Awards would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall lapse, and, with respect to Awards with performance-based vesting, all performance goals or other vesting criteria shall be
deemed achieved at one hundred percent (100%) of target levels and all other terms and conditions met. In addition, if an Option or Stock Appreciation Right becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event
of a merger or sale of assets, the Administrator shall notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be fully exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice,
and the Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of this paragraph, an Award shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or sale of assets, the award confers the right to
purchase or receive, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Award immediately prior to the merger or sale of assets, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or sale of assets by
holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however,
that if such consideration received in the merger or sale of assets is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be
received upon the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or upon the payout of a Restricted Stock Unit, Performance Unit or Performance Share, for each Share subject to such Award, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or
its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or sale of assets. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the contrary, an Award that vests, is earned or paid-out upon the
satisfaction of one or more performance goals shall not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of such performance goals without the Participant’s consent; provided, however, a modification to such performance goals
only to reflect the successor corporation’s post-merger or sale of assets corporate structure shall not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption. 
 16. Time of Granting Awards. The date of grant of an Award shall, for all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Award, or such other date as is
determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination shall be given to each Participant to whom an Award is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant. 
  

 -15- 








 17. Amendment and Termination of the Plan. 
 (a) Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan. 
 (b) Stockholder Approval. The Board shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with
Applicable Laws. 
 (c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of
the Plan shall impair the rights of any Participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company. Termination of the Plan shall not
affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination. 
 18. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. 
 (a) Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall
be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. 
 (b) Investment Representations. As a
condition to the exercise of an Award, the Administrator may require the person exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention
to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required. 
 19. Inability to
Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder,
shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. 
 20. Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the
Plan. 
 21. Shareholder Approval. The Plan shall be subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve
(12) months after the date the Plan is adopted. Such shareholder approval shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under Applicable Laws.

 3. Limitations. Neither the Plan nor any Option Agreement shall confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to continuing the Optionee’s

disposed of after the Initial Exercise Date as provided in Section 7(b) below, will allow for favorable tax and social security treatment under Applicable Laws as determined by the Administrator. Thereafter, Options may be exercised to the
extent they have vested. Options granted hereunder shall vest as determined by the Administrator. 
  

 -2- 








 An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) written or electronic notice of
exercise (in accordance with the Option Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised together with any applicable withholding taxes. Full payment
may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if required by the
Optionee, in the name of the Optionee and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry in an individual and nominative account on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the
Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the
Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the shares are issued, except as provided in Section 8 of this Appendix A to the Plan. 
 (b) The Shares subject to this Option may not be transferred, assigned or hypothecated in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or
distribution before the date three (3) years from the Initial Exercise Date, except for any events provided for in Article 91 ter of Annex II to the French tax code; provided, however, that the duration of this restriction on sale may be
adjusted to conform with any changes to the holding period required for favorable tax and social security treatment under Applicable Laws as determined by the Administrator and to the extent permitted under Applicable Laws. 
 (c) Termination of Employment Relationship. In the event that an Optionee’s status as an Employee terminates (other than upon the
Optionee’s death or Disability), the Optionee may exercise his or her Option, within such period of time as specified in the Option Agreement to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of termination (but in no
event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Optionee’s
termination. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise the vested portion of his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

 (d) Disability of Optionee. In the event that an Optionee’s status as an Employee terminates as a result of the
Optionee’s Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as specified in the Option Agreement to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination (but in no event
later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a time specified in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee’s
termination. If, at the date of termination, the Optionee has not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unexercisable portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise
the vested portion of his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. 
  

 -3- 








 (e) Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of an Optionee while an Employee, the Option may
be exercised at any time within six (6) months following the date of death by the Optionee’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that the Option had vested
at the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). If, at the time of death, the Optionee had not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the
unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after death, the Optionee’s estate or a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance does not exercise the vested portion of Option within the time
specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall immediately revert to the Plan. 
 8. Changes in
Capitalization. If any adjustment provided for in Section 12(a) of the Plan to the exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock covered by outstanding Options would violate Applicable Laws in such a way to jeopardize the
favorable tax and social security treatment of this Plan together with this Appendix A and the Options granted thereunder, then no such adjustment shall be made prior to the exercise of any such outstanding Option. 
 9. Information Statements to Optionees. The Company or its French Parent or Subsidiary, as required under Applicable Laws, shall provide to each
Optionee, with copies to the appropriate governmental entities, such statements of information as required by the Applicable Laws. 
 10.
Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Optionee, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Administrator,
which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company. Any favorable amendments or alteration are automatically deemed to be approved by Optionee. Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator’s ability to
exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Options granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination. 
 11.
Information to Shareholders. The French Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, as required under Applicable Laws, shall provide its shareholders with an annual report with respect to Options granted and/or exercised by its Employees in the
financial year.
