 4. Administration of the Plan. 
  
 (a) Plan Administrator. 
  
 (i) Administration with Respect to Directors
and Officers. With respect to grants of Awards to Directors or Employees who are also Officers or Directors of the Company, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee designated by the Board, which Committee
shall be constituted in such a manner as to satisfy the Applicable Laws and to permit such grants and related transactions under the Plan to be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act in accordance with Rule 16b-3. Once appointed,
such Committee shall continue to serve in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board. 
  
 (ii) Administration With Respect to Consultants and Other Employees. With respect to grants of Awards to Employees or
Consultants who are neither Directors nor Officers of the Company, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee designated by the Board, which Committee shall be constituted in such a manner as to satisfy the
Applicable Laws. Once appointed, such Committee shall continue to serve in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board. The Board may authorize one or more Officers to grant such Awards and may limit such authority as the Board
determines from time to time. 
  
 (iii) Administration With Respect to Covered Employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, grants of Awards to any Covered Employee intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation shall be made only by a Committee (or subcommittee
of a Committee) which is comprised solely of two or more Directors eligible to serve on a committee making Awards qualifying as Performance-Based Compensation. In the case of such Awards granted to Covered Employees, references to the
“Administrator” or to a “Committee” shall be deemed to be references to such Committee or subcommittee. 
  
 (iv) Administration Errors. In the event an Award is granted in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of this
subsection (a), such Award shall be presumptively valid as of its grant date to the extent permitted by the Applicable Laws. 
  
 (b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to Applicable Laws and the provisions of the Plan (including any other powers
given to the Administrator hereunder), and except as otherwise provided by the Board, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion: 
  
 (i) to select the Employees, Directors and Consultants to whom Awards may be granted from time to time hereunder; 

 
 (ii) to determine whether and to what extent
Awards are granted hereunder; 
  
 (iii) to determine the number of Shares or the amount of other consideration to be covered by each Award granted hereunder; 
  
 (iv) to approve forms of Award Agreements for use under the Plan; 
  

 5 








 (v) to determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted hereunder;

  
 (vi) to amend the terms of any
outstanding Award granted under the Plan, provided that (A) any amendment that would adversely affect the Grantee’s rights under an outstanding Award shall not be made without the Grantee’s written consent, provided, however, that an
amendment or modification that may cause an Incentive Stock Option to become a Non-Qualified Stock Option shall not be treated as adversely affecting the rights of the Grantee (B) the reduction of the exercise price of any Option awarded under
the Plan and the base appreciation amount of any SAR awarded under the Plan shall be subject to stockholder approval and (C) canceling an Option or SAR at a time when its exercise price or base appreciation amount (as applicable) exceeds the
Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares, in exchange for another Option, SAR, Restricted Stock, or other Award shall be subject to stockholder approval, unless the cancellation and exchange occurs in connection with a Corporate Transaction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, canceling an Option or SAR in exchange for another Option, SAR, Restricted Stock, or other Award with an exercise price, purchase price or base appreciation amount (as applicable) that is equal to or greater than the
exercise price or base appreciation amount (as applicable) of the original Option or SAR shall not be subject to stockholder approval; 
  
 (vii) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards, including without limitation, any notice of award or Award
Agreement, granted pursuant to the Plan; 
  
 (viii) to grant Awards to Employees, Directors and Consultants employed outside the United States on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as may, in the judgment of the Administrator, be necessary or
desirable to further the purpose of the Plan; and 
  
 (ix) to take such other action, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator deems appropriate. 
  
 The express grant in the Plan of any specific power to the Administrator shall not be construed as limiting any power or
authority of the Administrator; provided that the Administrator may not exercise any right or power reserved to the Board. Any decision made, or action taken, by the Administrator or in connection with the administration of this Plan shall be final,
conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in the Plan. 
  
 (c) Indemnification. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as members of the Board or as Officers or Employees of the Company or a Related Entity, members of the
Board and any Officers or Employees of the Company or a Related Entity to whom authority to act for the Board, the Administrator or the Company is delegated shall be defended and indemnified by the Company to the extent permitted by law on an
after-tax basis against all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to
which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan, or any Award granted hereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is
approved by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such claim, investigation, action, suit or
proceeding that such person is liable for gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct; provided, however, that within thirty (30) days after the institution of such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, such person shall
offer to the Company, in writing, the opportunity at the Company’s expense to defend the same. 
  
 5. Eligibility. Awards other than Incentive Stock Options may be granted to Employees, Directors and Consultants. Incentive Stock
Options may be granted only to Employees of the Company or a Parent or a Subsidiary of the Company. An Employee, Director or Consultant who has been granted an Award may, if otherwise eligible, be granted additional Awards. Awards may be granted to
such Employees, Directors or Consultants who are residing in non-U.S. jurisdictions as the Administrator may determine from time to time. 
  

 6 








 6. Terms and Conditions of Awards. 
  
 (a) Types of Awards. The Administrator
is authorized under the Plan to award any type of arrangement to an Employee, Director or Consultant that is not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan and that by its terms involves or might involve the issuance of (i) Shares,
(ii) cash or (iii) an Option, a SAR, or similar right with a fixed or variable price related to the Fair Market Value of the Shares and with an exercise or conversion privilege related to the passage of time, the occurrence of one or more
events, or the satisfaction of performance criteria or other conditions. Such awards include, without limitation, Options, SARs, sales or bonuses of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalent Rights, and an Award may consist of
one such security or benefit, or two (2) or more of them in any combination or alternative. 
  
 (b) Designation of Award. Each Award shall be designated in the Award Agreement. In the case of an Option, the Option
shall be designated as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, an Option will qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under the Code only to the extent the $100,000 dollar limitation
of Section 422(d) of the Code is not exceeded. The $100,000 limitation of Section 422(d) of the Code is calculated based on the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to Options designated as Incentive Stock Options which become
exercisable for the first time by a Grantee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company). For purposes of this calculation, Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in
which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the grant date of the relevant Option. In the event that the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder are amended after the date the Plan becomes
effective to provide for a different limit on the Fair Market Value of Shares permitted to be subject to Incentive Stock Options, then such different limit will be automatically incorporated herein and will apply to any Options granted after the
effective date of such amendment. 
  
 (c) Conditions of Award. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Administrator shall determine the provisions, terms, and conditions of each Award including, but not limited to, the Award vesting schedule, repurchase provisions, rights
of first refusal, forfeiture provisions, form of payment (cash, Shares, or other consideration) upon settlement of the Award, payment contingencies, and satisfaction of any performance criteria. The performance criteria established by the
Administrator may be based on any one of, or combination of, the following: (i) increase in share price, (ii) earnings per share, (iii) total stockholder return, (iv) operating margin, (v) gross margin, (vi) return on
equity, (vii) return on assets, (viii) return on investment, (ix) operating income, (x) net operating income, (xi) pre-tax profit, (xii) cash flow, (xiii) revenue, (xiv) expenses, (xv) earnings before
interest, taxes and depreciation, (xvi) economic value added and (xvii) market share. The performance criteria may be applicable to the Company, Related Entities and/or any individual business units of the Company or any Related Entity.
Partial achievement of the specified criteria may result in a payment or vesting corresponding to the degree of achievement as specified in the Award Agreement. In addition, the performance criteria shall be calculated in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, but excluding the effect (whether positive or negative) of any change in accounting standards and any extraordinary, unusual or nonrecurring item, as determined by the Administrator, occurring after the establishment
of the performance criteria applicable to the Award intended to be performance-based compensation. Each such adjustment, if any, shall be made solely for the purpose of providing a consistent basis from period to period for the calculation of
performance criteria in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the Grantee’s rights with respect to an Award intended to be performance-based compensation. 
  

 (d) Acquisitions and Other Transactions. The Administrator may issue Awards under the Plan in
settlement, assumption or substitution for, outstanding awards or obligations to grant future awards in connection with the Company or a Related Entity acquiring another entity, an interest in another entity or an additional interest in a Related
Entity whether by merger, stock purchase, asset purchase or other form of transaction. 
  
 (e) Deferral of Award Payment. The Administrator may establish one or more programs under the Plan to permit selected
Grantees the opportunity to elect to defer receipt of consideration upon exercise of an

  

 7 








 
Award, satisfaction of performance criteria, or other event that absent the election would entitle the Grantee to payment or receipt of Shares or other consideration under an Award. The
Administrator may establish the election procedures, the timing of such elections, the mechanisms for payments of, and accrual of interest or other earnings, if any, on amounts, Shares or other consideration so deferred, and such other terms,
conditions, rules and procedures that the Administrator deems advisable for the administration of any such deferral program. 
  
 (f) Separate Programs. The Administrator may establish one or more separate programs under the Plan for the purpose of
issuing particular forms of Awards to one or more classes of Grantees on such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator from time to time.  
  
 (g) Individual Limitations on Awards. 
  
 (i) Individual Limit for Options and
SARs. The maximum number of Shares with respect to which Options and SARs may be granted to any Grantee in any calendar year shall be Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) Shares. In connection with a Grantee’s commencement of Continuous Service,
a Grantee may be granted Options and SARs for up to an additional Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) Shares which shall not count against the limit set forth in the previous sentence. The foregoing limitations shall be adjusted proportionately in
connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization pursuant to Section 10, below. To the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code or the regulations thereunder, in applying the foregoing limitations with respect to a
Grantee, if any Option or SAR is canceled, the canceled Option or SAR shall continue to count against the maximum number of Shares with respect to which Options and SARs may be granted to the Grantee. For this purpose, the repricing of an Option (or
in the case of a SAR, the base amount on which the stock appreciation is calculated is reduced to reflect a reduction in the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock) shall be treated as the cancellation of the existing Option or SAR and the grant of a
new Option or SAR. 
  
 (ii)
Individual Limit for Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. For awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units that are intended to be Performance-Based Compensation, the maximum number of Shares with respect to which such Awards
may be granted to any Grantee in any calendar year shall be Two Hundred Fifty Thousand (250,000) Shares. The foregoing limitation shall be adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization pursuant to
Section 10, below. 
  
 (h)
Deferral. If the vesting or receipt of Shares under an Award is deferred to a later date, any amount (whether denominated in Shares or cash) paid in addition to the original number of Shares subject to such Award will not be treated as an
increase in the number of Shares subject to the Award if the additional amount is based either on a reasonable rate of interest or on one or more predetermined actual investments such that the amount payable by the Company at the later date will be
based on the actual rate of return of a specific investment (including any decrease as well as any increase in the value of an investment). 
  
 (i) Early Exercise. The Award Agreement may, but need not, include a provision whereby the Grantee may elect at any
time while an Employee, Director or Consultant to exercise any part or all of the Award prior to full vesting of the Award. Any unvested Shares received pursuant to such exercise may be subject to a repurchase right in favor of the Company or a
Related Entity or to any other restriction the Administrator determines to be appropriate. 
  
 (j) Term of Award. The term of each Award shall be the term stated in the Award Agreement, provided, however, that the
term of any Award shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof. However, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Grantee who, at the time the Option is granted, 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 of the Company, the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter
term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the specified term of any Award shall not include any period for which the Grantee has elected to defer the receipt of the Shares or cash issuable pursuant to the Award.

  

 8 








 (k) Transferability of Awards. Incentive Stock Options 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 Grantee, only by the Grantee. Other Awards shall be
transferable (i) by will and by the laws of descent and distribution and (ii) during the lifetime of the Grantee, to the extent and in the manner authorized by the Administrator but only to the extent such transfers are made to family
members, to family trusts, to family controlled entities, to charitable organizations, and pursuant to domestic relations orders or agreements, in all cases without payment for such transfers to the Grantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Grantee may designate one or more beneficiaries of the Grantee’s Award in the event of the Grantee’s death on a beneficiary designation form provided by the Administrator. 
  
 (l) 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 to grant such Award, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator. 
  
 7. Award Exercise or Purchase Price, Consideration and Taxes. 
  
 (a) Exercise or Purchase Price. The exercise or purchase price, if any, for an Award
shall be as follows: 
  
 (i) In the
case of an Incentive Stock Option: 
  
 (A) granted to an Employee who, at the time of the grant of such Incentive Stock 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 of the
Company, the per Share exercise price shall be not less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant; or 
  
 (B) granted to any Employee other than an Employee described in the preceding paragraph, the per Share exercise price shall
be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. 
  
 (ii) In the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the per Share exercise price shall be not less than one hundred percent
(100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. 
  
 (iii) In the case of Awards intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the exercise or purchase price, if any, shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value
per Share on the date of grant. 
  
 (iv) In the case of SARs, the base appreciation amount shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. 
  
 (v) In the case of other Awards, such price as is determined by the Administrator. 

 
 (vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 7(a), in the case of an Award issued pursuant to Section 6(d), above, the exercise or purchase price for the Award shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the relevant instrument evidencing the
agreement to issue such Award. 
  
 (b) Consideration. Subject to Applicable Laws, the consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise or purchase of an Award including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Administrator. In addition to
any other types of consideration the Administrator may determine, the Administrator is authorized to accept as consideration for Shares issued under the Plan the following, provided that the portion of the consideration equal to the par value of the
Shares must be paid in cash or other legal consideration permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law: 
  
 (i) cash; 
  
 (ii) check; 
  

 9 








 (iii) surrender of Shares or delivery of a properly executed form of
attestation of ownership of Shares as the Administrator may require which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender or attestation equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Award shall be exercised; 
  
 (iv) with respect to Options, payment through a
broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Grantee (A) shall provide written instructions to a Company designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of some or all of the purchased Shares and remit to the Company
sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased Shares and (B) shall provide written directives to the Company to deliver the certificates for the purchased Shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to
complete the sale transaction; 
  
 (v) with respect to Options, payment through a “net exercise” such that, without the payment of any funds, the Grantee may exercise the Option and receive the net number of Shares equal to (i) the number of Shares as to which
the Option is being exercised, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Fair Market Value per Share (on such date as is determined by the Administrator) less the Exercise Price per Share, and the denominator of which is such
Fair Market Value per Share (the number of net Shares to be received shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares); or 
  
 (vi) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. 
  
 The Administrator may at any time or from time to time, by adoption of or by amendment to the standard forms of Award Agreement
described in Section 4(b)(iv), or by other means, grant Awards which do not permit all of the foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment for the Shares or which otherwise restrict one or more forms of consideration. 
  
 (c) Taxes. No Shares shall be delivered
under the Plan to any Grantee or other person until such Grantee or other person has made arrangements acceptable to the Administrator for the satisfaction of any non-U.S., federal, state, or local income and employment tax withholding obligations,
including, without limitation, obligations incident to the receipt of Shares. Upon exercise or vesting of an Award the Company shall withhold or collect from the Grantee an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations, including, but not
limited to, by surrender of the whole number of Shares covered by the Award sufficient to satisfy the minimum applicable tax withholding obligations incident to the exercise or vesting of an Award (reduced to the lowest whole number of Shares if
such number of Shares withheld would result in withholding a fractional Share with any remaining tax withholding settled in cash). 
  
 8. Exercise of Award. 
  
 (a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. 
  
 (i) Any Award granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions as
determined by the Administrator under the terms of the Plan and specified in the Award Agreement. 
  
 (ii) An Award shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such exercise has been given to the Company in
accordance with the terms of the Award by the person entitled to exercise the Award and full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Award is exercised has been made, including, to the extent selected, use of the broker-dealer sale and
remittance procedure to pay the purchase price as provided in Section 7(b)(iv). 
  
 (b) Exercise of Award Following Termination of Continuous Service. 
  
 (i) An Award may not be exercised after the
termination date of such Award set forth in the Award Agreement and may be exercised following the termination of a Grantee’s Continuous Service only to the extent provided in the Award Agreement. 
  
 (ii) Where the Award Agreement permits a
Grantee to exercise an Award following the termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service for a specified period, the Award shall terminate to

  

 10 








 
the extent not exercised on the last day of the specified period or the last day of the original term of the Award, whichever occurs first. 
  
 (iii) Any Award designated as an Incentive
Stock Option to the extent not exercised within the time permitted by law for the exercise of Incentive Stock Options following the termination of a Grantee’s Continuous Service shall convert automatically to a Non-Qualified Stock Option and
thereafter shall be exercisable as such to the extent exercisable by its terms for the period specified in the Award Agreement. 
  
 9. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. 
  
 (a) If at any time the Administrator determines that the delivery of Shares pursuant to the exercise, vesting or any other
provision of an Award is or may be unlawful under Applicable Laws, the vesting or right to exercise an Award or to otherwise receive Shares pursuant to the terms of an Award shall be suspended until the Administrator determines that such delivery is
lawful and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. The Company shall have no obligation to effect any registration or qualification of the Shares under federal or state laws. 

 
 (b) As a condition to the exercise of an
Award, the Company 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 by any Applicable Laws. 
  
 10. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company and Section 11
hereof, the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Award, and the number of Shares 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, the exercise or
purchase price of each such outstanding Award, the maximum number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted to any Grantee in any calendar year, as well as any other terms that the Administrator determines require adjustment shall be
proportionately adjusted for (i) any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Shares, or similar transaction affecting the
Shares, (ii) any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, or (iii) any other transaction with respect to Common Stock including a corporate merger, consolidation,
acquisition of property or stock, separation (including a spin-off or other distribution of stock or property), reorganization, liquidation (whether partial or complete) or any similar transaction; provided, however that conversion of any
convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” In the event of any distribution of cash or other assets to stockholders other than a normal cash dividend, the
Administrator shall also make such adjustments as provided in this Section 10 or substitute, exchange or grant Awards to effect such adjustments (collectively “adjustments”). Any such adjustments to outstanding Awards will be effected
in a manner that precludes the enlargement of rights and benefits under such Awards. In connection with the foregoing adjustments, the Administrator may, in its discretion, prohibit the exercise of Awards or other issuance of Shares, cash or other
consideration pursuant to Awards during certain periods of time. Except as the Administrator determines, no issuance by the Company of shares of any class, or securities convertible into shares of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason
hereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an Award. 
  
 11. Corporate Transactions and Changes in Control. 
  
 (a) Termination of Award to Extent Not Assumed in Corporate Transaction. Effective upon the consummation of a
Corporate Transaction, all outstanding Awards under the Plan shall terminate. However, all such Awards shall not terminate to the extent they are Assumed in connection with the Corporate Transaction. 
  
 (b) Effective upon the consummation of a
Related Entity Disposition, for purposes of the Plan and all Awards, the Continuous Service of each Grantee who is at the time engaged primarily in service to the

  

 11 








 
Related Entity involved in such Related Entity Disposition shall be deemed to terminate and each Award of such Grantee which is at the time outstanding under the Plan shall be exercisable in
accordance with the terms of the Award Agreement evidencing such Award. However, such Continuous Service shall not be deemed to terminate if such Award is, in connection with the Related Entity Disposition, assumed by the successor entity or its
parent. 
  
 (c) Acceleration of
Award Upon Corporate Transaction or Change in Control. Except as provided otherwise in an individual Award Agreement or other applicable agreement, in the event of any Corporate Transaction or Change in Control, there will not be any
acceleration of vesting or exercisability of any Award. 
  
 12. Effective Date and Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to occur of its adoption by the Board or its approval by the stockholders of the Company. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten
(10) years unless sooner terminated. Subject to Section 17, below, and Applicable Laws, Awards may be granted under the Plan upon its becoming effective. 
  
 13. Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan. 
  
 (a) The Board may at any time amend, suspend or
terminate the Plan; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made without the approval of the Company’s stockholders to the extent such approval is required by Applicable Laws, or if such amendment would lessen the stockholder
approval requirements of Section 4(b)(vi) or this Section 13(a). 
  
 (b) No Award may be granted during any suspension of the Plan or after termination of the Plan. 
  
 (c) No suspension or termination of the Plan (including termination of the Plan under Section 11, above) shall adversely
affect any rights under Awards already granted to a Grantee. 
  
 14. Reservation of Shares. 
  
 (a) The Company, during the term of the Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be
sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. 
  
 (b) 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. 
  
 15. No Effect on Terms of Employment/Consulting
Relationship. The Plan shall not confer upon any Grantee any right with respect to the Grantee’s Continuous Service, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or the right of the Company or any Related Entity to terminate the
Grantee’s Continuous Service at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. 
  
 16. No Effect on Retirement and Other Benefit Plans. Except as specifically provided in a retirement or other benefit plan of the
Company or a Related Entity, Awards shall not be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits or contributions under any retirement plan of the Company or a Related Entity, and shall not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan of
any kind or any benefit plan subsequently instituted under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to level of compensation. The Plan is not a “Pension Plan” or “Welfare Plan” under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended. 
  
 17.
Stockholder Approval. The grant of Incentive Stock Options under the Plan shall be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted excluding Incentive Stock
Options issued in substitution for outstanding Incentive Stock Options pursuant to Section 424(a) of the Code. Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under Applicable Laws. The Administrator may grant
Incentive Stock Options under the Plan prior to approval by the stockholders, but until such approval is obtained, no such Incentive Stock Option shall be

  

 12 








 
exercisable. In the event that stockholder approval is not obtained within the twelve (12) month period provided above, all Incentive Stock Options previously granted under the Plan shall be
exercisable as Non-Qualified Stock Options. 
  
 18.
Unfunded Obligation. Grantees shall have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Company. Any amounts payable to Grantees pursuant to the Plan shall be unfunded and unsecured obligations for all purposes, including, without
limitation, Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Neither the Company nor any Related Entity shall be required to segregate any monies from its general funds, or to create any trusts, or establish any
special accounts with respect to such obligations. The Company shall retain at all times beneficial ownership of any investments, including trust investments, which the Company may make to fulfill its payment obligations hereunder. Any investments
or the creation or maintenance of any trust or any Grantee account shall not create or constitute a trust or fiduciary relationship between the Administrator, the Company or any Related Entity and a Grantee, or otherwise create any vested or
beneficial interest in any Grantee or the Grantee’s creditors in any assets of the Company or a Related Entity. The Grantees shall have no claim against the Company or any Related Entity for any changes in the value of any assets that may be
invested or reinvested by the Company with respect to the Plan. 
  
 19. Construction. Captions and titles contained herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of the Plan. Except when otherwise indicated by
the context, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. Use of the term “or” is not intended to be exclusive, unless the context clearly requires otherwise. 
  
 20. Nonexclusivity of The Plan. Neither the adoption of
the Plan by the Board, the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval, nor any provision of the Plan will be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such additional compensation
arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of Awards otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.
