the number, class, and price of Shares subject to outstanding Awards in such manner as the Committee (in its sole discretion) shall determine to be appropriate to prevent the dilution or diminution of such Awards. Notwithstanding the preceding, the
number of Shares subject to any Award always shall be a whole number. 
 SECTION 5 STOCK OPTIONS 
 5.1 Grant of Options. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, Options may be granted to Employees and Consultants at any time and from
time to time as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine the number of Shares subject to each Option. The Committee may grant Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, or a
combination thereof.

Price, the expiration date of the Option, the number of Shares to which the Option pertains, any conditions to exercise of the Option, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee, in its discretion, shall determine. The Award Agreement
shall also specify whether the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option. 
 5.3 Exercise
Price. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.3, the Exercise Price for each Option shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

 5.3.2 Incentive Stock Options. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the
Exercise Price shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date; provided, however, that if on the Grant Date, the Employee (together with persons whose stock ownership is attributed to the
Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code) owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Exercise Price shall be not less than one hundred and
ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date. 
 5.3.3 Substitute Options.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 5.3.1 and 5.3.2, in the event that the Company or an Affiliate consummates a transaction described in Section 424(a) of the Code (e.g., the acquisition of property or stock from an unrelated
corporation), persons who become Employees or Consultants on account of such transaction may be granted Options in substitution for options granted by their former employer. If such substitute Options are granted, the Committee, in its sole
discretion and consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code, may determine that such substitute Options shall have an exercise price less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Grant Date. 

5.4 Expiration of Options. The Committee, in its sole discretion, (a) shall provide in each Award Agreement when each Option expires and
becomes unexercisable, and (b) may, after an Option is granted, extend the maximum term of the Option (subject to Section 5.8.4 regarding Incentive Stock Options); provided, however, no Award Agreement shall provide for the exercise of any
Option after the expiration of the ten (10) year period immediately following the Grant Date. 
 5.5 Exercisability of Options.
Subject to Section 3.2(iii), Options granted under the Plan shall be exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion. Subject to Section 3.2(iii), after
an Option is granted, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the exercisability of the Option. 
 5.6 Payment. Options
shall be exercised by the Participant’s delivery of a written notice of exercise to the Secretary of the Company (or its designee), setting forth the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised, accompanied by full
payment for the Shares. Upon the exercise of any Option, the Exercise Price shall be payable to the Company in full in cash or its equivalent. The Committee, in its sole discretion, also may permit exercise (a) by tendering previously acquired
Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the total Exercise Price, or (b) by any other means which the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines to both provide legal consideration for the Shares and to
be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. As soon as practicable after receipt of a written notification of exercise and full payment for the Shares purchased, the Company shall deliver to the Participant (or the Participant’s designated
broker), Share certificates (which may be in book entry form) representing such Shares. 
  

 7 








 5.7 Restrictions on Share Transferability. The Committee may impose such restrictions on any
Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option as it may deem advisable, including, but not limited to, restrictions related to applicable federal securities laws, the requirements of any national securities exchange or system upon which
Shares are then listed or traded, or any blue sky or state securities laws.

Stock Option may be exercised more than one (1) year after the Participant’s Termination of Service on account of Disability, unless (a) the Participant dies during such one-year period, and (b) the Award Agreement or the
Committee permit later exercise.

only to persons who are employees of the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary on the Grant Date. 
 5.8.4 Expiration. No
Incentive Stock Option may be exercised after the expiration of ten (10) years from the Grant Date; provided, however, that if the Option is granted to an Employee who, together with persons whose stock ownership is attributed to the Employee
pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code, owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of the stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Option may not be exercised after the expiration of five

Share on the Grant Date. The exercise price of Tandem or Affiliated SARs shall equal the Exercise Price of the related Option. 
 6.2
Exercise of Tandem SARs. Tandem SARs may be exercised for all or part of the Shares subject to the related Option upon the surrender of the right to exercise the equivalent portion of the related Option. A Tandem SAR may be exercised only

Incentive Stock Option; (b) the value of the payout with respect to the Tandem SAR shall be for no more than one hundred percent (100%) of the difference between the Exercise Price of the underlying Incentive Stock Option and the Fair
Market Value of the Shares subject to the underlying Incentive Stock Option at the time the Tandem SAR is exercised; and (c) the Tandem SAR shall be exercisable only when the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Incentive Stock Option
exceeds the Exercise Price of the Incentive Stock Option. 
 6.3 Exercise of Affiliated SARs. An Affiliated SAR shall be deemed to be
exercised upon the exercise of the related Option. The deemed exercise of an Affiliated SAR shall not necessitate a reduction in the number of Shares subject to the related Option.

shall determine.

payment upon SAR exercise may be in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof; provided, however, that no Shares may be issued before the First Permissible Vesting Date.

Nonemployee Director who is first elected or appointed to the Board on or after the completion of the IPO shall be awarded, on the date of first election or appointment, Deferred Units for Shares having a Fair Market Value of $15,000.00 on the Grant
Date. Thereafter, on each anniversary of the date on which a Nonemployee Director is first awarded Deferred Units during the term of this Plan, the Nonemployee Director shall be awarded Deferred Units for Shares having a Fair Market Value of

 8.2.2 Vesting. Each Award granted pursuant to this Section 8 shall vest in accordance with the following schedule

	 Fourth anniversary of Grant Date
	  	33 1/3	%

 ; provided, however, that no Award shall vest before the First Permissible Vesting Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as provided herein, if the reason for the Termination of Service is the Nonemployee Director’s death or Disability prior to the completion of the period of service required to be performed to fully vest
in any Award, all Deferred Units that are the subject of such Award shall be delivered to such Nonemployee Director (or the Nonemployee Director’s beneficiary or estate); provided, however, that no Award shall vest before the First
Permissible Vesting Date. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, unless the Committee determines otherwise in the Award Agreement, each Nonemployee Director’s right and interest in Deferred Units which have not previously vested shall
become vested and nonforfeitable, regardless of the period of the Nonemployee Director’s service since the date such Deferred Units were awarded; provided, however, that no Award shall vest before the First Permissible Vesting Date.

 8.2.3 Other Terms. All provisions of the Plan not inconsistent with this
Section 8 shall apply to Awards granted to Nonemployee Directors. 
 SECTION 9 MISCELLANEOUS 
 9.1 Deferrals. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may permit a Participant to defer receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares
that would otherwise be due to such Participant under an Award. Any such deferral elections shall be subject to such rules and procedures as shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 
 9.2 No Effect on Employment or Service. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate any
Participant’s employment or service at any time, with or without cause. For purposes of the Plan, transfer of employment of a Participant between the Company and any one of its Affiliates (or between Affiliates) shall not be deemed a
Termination of Service. Employment with the Company and its Affiliates is on an at-will basis only. 
 9.3 Participation. No Employee
or Consultant shall have the right to be selected to receive an Award under this Plan, or, having been so selected, to be selected to receive a future Award. 
 9.4 Indemnification. Each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee, or of the Board, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from (a) any loss, cost, liability,
or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action
taken or failure to act under the Plan or any Award Agreement, and (b) from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such claim,
action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing
right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or under any
power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless. 
 9.5 Successors. All obligations of the Company under the
Plan, with respect to Awards granted hereunder, shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially
all of the business or assets of the Company. 
 9.6 Beneficiary Designations. If permitted by the Committee, a Participant under the
Plan may name a beneficiary or beneficiaries to whom any vested but unpaid Award shall be paid in the event of the Participant’s death. Each such designation shall 

  

 12 








 
revoke all prior designations by the Participant and shall be effective only if given in a form and manner acceptable to the Committee. In the absence of any
such designation, any vested benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate and, subject to the terms of the Plan and of the applicable Award Agreement, any unexercised vested Award may be
exercised by the administrator or executor of the Participant’s estate. 
 9.7 Limited Transferability of Awards. No Award
granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will, by the laws of descent and distribution, or to the limited extent provided in Section 9.6. All rights with respect
to an Award granted to a Participant shall be available during his or her lifetime only to the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant may, in a manner specified by the Committee, (a) transfer a Nonqualified Stock Option to
a Participant’s spouse, former spouse or dependent pursuant to a court-approved domestic relations order which relates to the provision of child support, alimony payments or marital property rights, and (b) transfer a Nonqualified Stock
Option by bona fide gift and not for any consideration to (i) a member or members of the Participant’s immediate family, (ii) a trust established for the exclusive benefit of the Participant and/or member(s) of the Participant’s
immediate family, (iii) a partnership, limited liability company of other entity whose only partners or members are the Participant and/or member(s) of the Participant’s immediate family, or (iv) a foundation in which the Participant
an/or member(s) of the Participant’s immediate family control the management of the foundation’s assets. 
 9.8 No Rights as
Stockholder. Except to the limited extent provided in Sections 7.6 and 7.7, no Participant (nor any beneficiary) shall have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Shares issuable pursuant to an Award
(or exercise thereof), unless and until certificates representing such Shares shall have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to the Participant (or beneficiary). 
 9.9. Status of Original Issue Shares. The Company intends, but shall not be obligated, to register for sale under the 1933 Act the Shares
acquirable pursuant to Awards, and to keep such registration effective throughout the period any Awards are in effect. In the absence of such effective registration or an available exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, delivery of Shares
acquirable pursuant to Awards shall be delayed until registration of such Shares is effective or an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act is available. In the event exemption from registration under the 1933 Act is available, a Participant
(or a Participant’s estate or personal representative in the event of the Participant’s death or incapacity), if requested by the Company to do so, will execute and deliver to the Company in writing an agreement containing such provisions
as the Company may require to assure compliance with applicable securities laws. No sale or disposition of Shares acquired pursuant to an Award by a Participant shall be made in the absence of an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act
with respect to such Shares unless an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such sale or disposition will not constitute a violation of the 1933 Act or any other applicable securities laws is first obtained.

 9.10 Delivery of Shares; Payment by Participant of Consideration. Notwithstanding anything in the
Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, delivery of Shares pursuant to the exercise of an Award may be deferred for any period during which, in the good faith determination of the Committee, the Company is not reasonably able to obtain or issue
Shares pursuant to such Award without violating the rules or regulations of any applicable law or securities exchange. No Shares shall be delivered pursuant to any Award until payment in full of any amount required to be paid pursuant to the Plan or
the applicable Award Agreement (including, without limitation, any exercise price or tax withholding) is received by the Company. 
 SECTION
10 AMENDMENT, TERMINATION, AND DURATION 
 10.1 Amendment, Suspension, or Termination. The Board, in its sole discretion, may amend,
suspend or terminate the Plan, or any part thereof, at any time and for any reason. The amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan shall not, without the consent of the Participant, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Award
theretofore granted to such Participant. No Award may be granted during any period of suspension or after termination of the Plan. 
 10.2
Duration of the Plan. The amended and restated Plan shall be effective as of April 20, 2004, and subject to Section 10.1 (regarding the Board’s right to amend or terminate the Plan), shall remain in effect thereafter. However,
without further stockholder approval, no Incentive Stock Option may be granted under the Plan after the ten year anniversary of the Plan. 
 SECTION 11 TAX WITHHOLDING 
 11.1 Withholding Requirements. Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award
(or exercise thereof), the Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including the Participant’s FICA
obligation) required to be withheld with respect to such Award (or exercise thereof). 
 11.2 Withholding Arrangements. The Committee,
in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit a Participant to satisfy such tax withholding obligation, in whole or in part by (a) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise
deliverable Shares, or (b) delivering to the Company already-owned Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld. The amount of the withholding requirement shall be deemed to include any amount which the
Committee agrees may be withheld at the time the election is made, not to exceed the amount determined by using the minimum federal, state or local marginal income tax rates applicable to the Participant with respect to the Award on the date that
the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld or delivered shall be determined as of the date that the taxes are required to be withheld.

 SECTION 12 LEGAL CONSTRUCTION 
 12.1 Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not
affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included. 
 12.2 Requirements of Law. The granting of Awards and the issuance of Shares under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities
exchanges as may be required.

are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3. To the extent any provision of the Plan, Award Agreement or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed
advisable by the Committee.

governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.
