 EXHIBIT A 

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 







 LDR HOLDING CORPORATION 

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 

RECITALS 
 A. The Board has adopted
the Plan for the purpose of retaining the services of selected Employees, non-employee members of the Board or the board of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary and consultants and other independent advisors in the service of the Corporation (or
any Parent or Subsidiary). 
 B. Optionee is to render valuable services to the Corporation (or a Parent or Subsidiary), and this Agreement
is executed pursuant to, and is intended to carry out the purposes of, the Plan in connection with the Corporation’s grant of an option to Optionee. 

C. All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them in the attached Appendix. 

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows: 

1. Grant of Option. The Corporation hereby grants to Optionee, as of the Grant Date, an option to purchase up to the number of
Option Shares specified in the Grant Notice. The Option Shares shall be purchasable from time to time during the option term specified in Paragraph 2 at the Exercise Price. 

2. Option Term. This option shall have a term of ten (10) years measured from the Grant Date and shall accordingly expire at
the close of business on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with Paragraph 5 or 6. 
 3. Limited
Transferability. 
 (a) This option shall be neither transferable nor assignable by Optionee other than by will or the laws of
inheritance following Optionee’s death and may be exercised, during Optionee’s lifetime, only by Optionee. However, Optionee may designate one or more persons as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of this option, and this option shall, in
accordance with such designation, automatically be transferred to such beneficiary or beneficiaries upon the Optionee’s death while holding this option. Such beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the transferred option subject to all the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, including (without limitation) the limited time period during which this option may, pursuant to Paragraph 5, be exercised following Optionee’s death. 

(b) If this option is designated a Non-Statutory Option in the Grant Notice, then this option may be assigned in whole or in part during
Optionee’s lifetime to one or more of Optionee’s Family Members or to a trust established for the exclusive benefit of Optionee and/or one or more such Family Members, to the extent such assignment is in connection with the Optionee’s
estate plan or pursuant to a domestic relations order. The assigned portion shall be exercisable only by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the option pursuant to such assignment. The terms applicable to the assigned portion
shall be the same as those in effect for this option immediately prior to such assignment. 

  
 1 








 4. Dates of Exercise. This option shall become exercisable for the Option Shares in
one or more installments as specified in the Grant Notice. As the option becomes exercisable for such installments, those installments shall accumulate, and the option shall remain exercisable for the accumulated installments until the Expiration
Date or sooner termination of the option term under Paragraph 5 or 6. 
 5. Cessation of Service. The option term specified in
Paragraph 2 shall terminate (and this option shall cease to be outstanding) prior to the Expiration Date should any of the following provisions become applicable: 

(a) Should Optionee cease to remain in Service for any reason (other than death, Disability or Misconduct) while this option is outstanding,
then Optionee (or any person or persons to whom this option is transferred pursuant to a permitted transfer under Paragraph 3) shall have a period of three (3) months (commencing with the date of such cessation of Service) during which to
exercise this option, but in no event shall this option be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date. 
 (b) Should Optionee die
while this option is outstanding, then the personal representative of Optionee’s estate or the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to Optionee’s will or the laws of inheritance following Optionee’s death or,
if applicable, the person to whom the option is transferred during Optionee’s lifetime pursuant to a permitted transfer under Paragraph 3 shall have the right to exercise this option. However, if Optionee dies while holding this option and has
an effective beneficiary designation in effect for this option at the time of his or her death, then the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries shall have the exclusive right to exercise this option following Optionee’s death. Any such right
to exercise this option shall lapse, and this option shall cease to be outstanding, upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of the twelve (12)-month period measured from the date of Optionee’s death or (ii) the Expiration Date. 

(c) Should Optionee cease Service by reason of Disability while this option is outstanding, then Optionee (or any person or persons to whom
this option is transferred pursuant to a permitted transfer under Paragraph 3) shall have a period of twelve (12) months (commencing with the date of such cessation of Service) during which to exercise this option. In no event shall this option
be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date. 
 Note: Exercise of this option on a date later than
three (3) months following cessation of Service due to Disability will result in loss of favorable Incentive Option treatment, unless such Disability constitutes Permanent Disability. In the event that Incentive Option treatment
is not available, this option will be taxed as a Non-Statutory Option upon exercise. 

  
 2 








 (d) During the limited period of post-Service exercisability, this option may not be exercised
in the aggregate for more than the number of Option Shares in which Optionee is, at the time of Optionee’s cessation of Service, vested pursuant to the Vesting Schedule specified in the Grant Notice or the special vesting acceleration
provisions of Paragraph 6. No additional Option Shares shall vest, whether pursuant to the normal Vesting Schedule specified in the Grant Notice or the special vesting acceleration provisions of Paragraph 6, following Optionee’s cessation of
Service, except to the extent (if any) specifically authorized by the Plan Administrator pursuant to an express written agreement with Optionee. Upon the expiration of such limited exercise period or (if earlier) upon the Expiration Date, this
option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any vested Option Shares for which the option has not been exercised. 
 (e) Should
Optionee’s Service be terminated for Misconduct or should Optionee otherwise engage in Misconduct while this option is outstanding, then this option shall terminate immediately and cease to remain outstanding. 

6. Change in Control. 

(a) Should a Change in Control occur during Optionee’s period of Service, then the Option Shares at the time subject to
this option but not otherwise vested shall automatically vest in full so that this option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, become exercisable for all of the Option Shares as fully vested shares and may be
exercised for any or all of those Option Shares as vested shares. However, the Option Shares shall not vest on such an accelerated basis if and to the extent: (i) this option is assumed by the successor corporation (or parent
thereof) or otherwise continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction and the Corporation’s repurchase rights with respect to the unvested Option Shares are assigned to such successor corporation
(or parent thereof) or otherwise continued in effect or (ii) this option is to be replaced with a cash retention program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread existing on the unvested Option Shares at the time of the Change in
Control (the excess of the Fair Market Value of those Option Shares over the Exercise Price payable for such shares) and provides for subsequent payout of that spread in accordance with the same Vesting Schedule applicable to those unvested Option
Shares as set forth in the Grant Notice.  
 (b) Immediately following the Change in Control, this option shall terminate and
cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction. 

(c) If this option is assumed in connection with a Change in Control or otherwise continued in effect, then this option shall be appropriately
adjusted, immediately after such Change in Control, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to Optionee in consummation of such Change in Control had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Change in
Control, and appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same. To the extent that the actual holders of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock
receive cash 

  
 3 








 
consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control, the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption or continuation of this option, substitute one or
more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Change in Control. 

(d) This Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital
or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. 
 7.
Adjustment in Option Shares. In the event of any of the following transactions affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration: any stock split, stock dividend, spin-off
transaction, extraordinary distribution (whether in cash, securities or other property), recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other similar transaction affecting the Common Stock without the Corporation’s receipt of
consideration, then equitable adjustments shall be made to (i) the total number and/or class of securities subject to this option and (ii) the Exercise Price. The adjustments shall be made by the Plan Administrator in such manner as the
Plan Administrator deems appropriate in order to reflect such change and thereby preclude a dilution or enlargement of benefits hereunder. 

8. Stockholder Rights. The holder of this option shall not have any stockholder rights with respect to the Option Shares until
such person shall have exercised the option, paid the Exercise Price and become the record holder of the purchased shares. 
 9. Manner
of Exercising Option. 
 (a) In order to exercise this option with respect to all or any part of the Option Shares for which this
option is at the time exercisable, Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option) must take the following actions: 

(i) Execute and deliver to the Corporation a Purchase Agreement for the Option Shares for which the option is exercised. 

(ii) Pay the aggregate Exercise Price for the purchased shares in one or more of the following forms: 

(A) cash or check made payable to the Corporation; or 

(B) a promissory note payable to the Corporation, but only to the extent authorized by the Plan Administrator in accordance
with Paragraph 14. 

  
 4 








 Should the Common Stock be registered under Section 12 of the 1934 Act at the time the
option is exercised, then the Exercise Price may also be paid as follows: 
 (C) in shares of Common Stock valued at Fair
Market Value on the Exercise Date and held by Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option) for the period (if any) necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation’s earnings for financial reporting purposes; or 

(D) to the extent the option is exercised for vested Option Shares, through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant
to which Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option) shall concurrently provide irrevocable instructions (a) to a brokerage firm (reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation for purposes of administering such procedure in
compliance with any applicable pre-clearance or pre-notification requirements) to effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover
the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation by reason of such exercise and (b) to the Corporation to deliver the certificates for the
purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm on such settlement date in order to complete the sale. 
 Except to the extent the sale and
remittance procedure is utilized in connection with the option exercise, payment of the Exercise Price must accompany the Purchase Agreement delivered to the Corporation in connection with the option exercise. 

(iii) Furnish to the Corporation appropriate documentation that the person or persons exercising the option (if other than
Optionee) have the right to exercise this option. 
 (iv) Execute and deliver to the Corporation such written
representations as may be requested by the Corporation in order for it to comply with the applicable requirements of applicable securities laws. 

(v) Make appropriate arrangements with the Corporation (or Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Optionee) for the
satisfaction of all applicable income and employment tax withholding requirements applicable to the option exercise. 
 (b) As soon as
practical after the Exercise Date, the Corporation shall issue to or on behalf of Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising this option) a certificate for the purchased Option Shares, with the appropriate legends affixed thereto. 

(c) In no event may this option be exercised for any fractional shares. 

10. REPURCHASE RIGHTS. ALL OPTION SHARES ACQUIRED UPON THE EXERCISE OF THIS OPTION SHALL BE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RIGHTS OF THE
CORPORATION AND ITS ASSIGNS TO REPURCHASE THOSE SHARES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS SPECIFIED IN THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT. 

  
 5 








 11. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. 

(a) The exercise of this option and the issuance of the Option Shares upon such exercise shall be subject to compliance by the Corporation and
Optionee with all applicable requirements of law relating thereto and with all applicable regulations of any stock exchange (or the Nasdaq National Market, if applicable) on which the Common Stock may be listed for trading at the time of such
exercise and issuance. 
 (b) The inability of the Corporation to obtain approval from any regulatory body having authority deemed by the
Corporation to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to this option shall relieve the Corporation of any liability with respect to the non-issuance or sale of the Common Stock as to which such approval shall not
have been obtained. The Corporation, however, shall use its best efforts to obtain all such approvals. 
 12. Successors and
Assigns. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Paragraphs 3 and 6, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Corporation and its successors and assigns and Optionee, Optionee’s assigns
and the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of Optionee’s estate. 
 13. Notices. Any notice required to be given or
delivered to the Corporation under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporation at its principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to Optionee shall be in writing and addressed to
Optionee at the address indicated below Optionee’s signature line on the Grant Notice. All notices shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be
notified. 
 14. Financing. The Plan Administrator may, in its absolute discretion and without any obligation to do so, permit
Optionee to pay the Exercise Price for the purchased Option Shares by delivering a full-recourse promissory note bearing interest at a market rate and secured by those Option Shares. The payment schedule in effect for any such promissory note shall
be established by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion. 
 15. Construction. This Agreement and the option evidenced
hereby are made and granted pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and subject to the terms of the Plan. All decisions of the Plan Administrator with respect to any question or issue arising under the Plan or this Agreement shall be
conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in this option. 
 16. Governing Law. The interpretation, performance
and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without resort to that State’s conflict-of-laws rules. 

  
 6 








 17. Stockholder Approval. If the Option Shares covered by this Agreement exceed, as
of the Grant Date, the number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan as last approved by the stockholders, then this option shall be void with respect to such excess shares, unless stockholder approval of an amendment
sufficiently increasing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan is obtained in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. 

18. Additional Terms Applicable to an Incentive Option. In the event this option is designated an Incentive Option in the Grant
Notice, the following terms and conditions shall also apply to the grant: 
 (a) This option shall cease to qualify for favorable tax
treatment as an Incentive Option if (and to the extent) this option is exercised for one or more Option Shares: (i) more than three (3) months after the date Optionee ceases to be an Employee for any reason other than death or Permanent
Disability or (ii) more than twelve (12) months after the date Optionee ceases to be an Employee by reason of Permanent Disability. 

(b) This option shall not become exercisable in the calendar year in which granted if (and to the extent) the aggregate Fair Market Value
(determined at the Grant Date) of the Common Stock for which this option would otherwise first become exercisable in such calendar year would, when added to the aggregate value (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) of the Common
Stock and any other securities for which one or more other Incentive Options granted to Optionee prior to the Grant Date (whether under the Plan or any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) first become exercisable during
the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate. To the extent the exercisability of this option is deferred by reason of the foregoing limitation, the deferred portion shall become exercisable in the first
calendar year or years thereafter in which the One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation of this Paragraph 18(b) would not be contravened, but such deferral shall in all events end immediately prior to the effective date of a Change in
Control in which this option is not to be assumed or otherwise continued in effect, whereupon the option shall become immediately exercisable as a Non-Statutory Option for the deferred portion of the Option Shares. 

(c) Should Optionee hold, in addition to this option, one or more other options to purchase Common Stock which become exercisable for the
first time in the same calendar year as this option, then for purposes of the foregoing limitations on the exercisability of such options as Incentive Options, this option and each of those other options shall be deemed to become first exercisable
in that calendar year on the basis of the chronological order in which they were granted, except to the extent otherwise provided under applicable law or regulation.

 EXHIBIT B 

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT 







 LDR HOLDING CORPORATION 

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT 

This Stock Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”), is made this 12th day of June, 2010 by and between LDR Holding
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), and Jean Blanchet, Optionee, pursuant to that certain Stock Option Agreement, dated as of February 28, 2007 (the “Option Agreement”)
between the Corporation and Optionee. 
 All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them in this Agreement
or in the attached Appendix. 
  

	 	1.	EXERCISE OF OPTION 

 A. Exercise. Optionee hereby purchases 15,000 shares of
Common Stock (the “Purchased Shares”) at the exercise price of $0.25 per share (the “Exercise Price”) pursuant to the exercise of that certain option (the “Option”) granted to
Optionee pursuant to the Option Agreement. 
 B. Payment. Concurrently with the delivery of this Agreement to the Corporation,
Optionee shall pay the aggregate Exercise Price for all of the Purchased Shares in cash or check payable to the Corporation and shall deliver whatever additional documents may be required by the Option Agreement as a condition for exercise. 

C. Stockholder Rights. Until such time as the Corporation exercises the First Refusal Right, Optionee (or any successor in interest)
shall have all the rights of a stockholder (including voting, dividend and liquidation rights) with respect to the Purchased Shares, subject, however, to the transfer restrictions imposed by this Agreement. 

 

	 	2.	SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE 

 A. Investment Intent. Optionee is aware of
the Corporation’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Corporation to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Purchased Shares. Optionee is acquiring the Purchased Shares
for investment for Optionee’s own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the 1933 Act. 

B. Restricted Securities. 

The Purchased Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act and are being issued to Optionee in reliance upon the exemption from such
registration provided by Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act or SEC Rule 504, 505, 506 or 701. Optionee acknowledges and understands that the Purchased Shares constitute “restricted securities” under the 1933 Act and have not been registered
under the 1933 Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Optionee’s 

  
 1 








 
investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, Optionee understands that, in the view of the SEC, the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if Optionee’s
representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold the Purchased Shares for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the
Purchased Shares, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future. Optionee further understands that the Purchased Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the 1933 Act or an exemption from
such registration is available. Optionee further acknowledges and understands that the Corporation is under no obligation to register the Purchased Shares. Optionee understands that the certificate evidencing the Purchased Shares will be imprinted
with the legends set forth herein and any other legend required under applicable state securities laws. 
 Optionee is familiar with the
provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each promulgated under the 1933 Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering
subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of the grant of the Option to the Optionee, the exercise will be exempt from registration under the 1933 Act. In the event
the Corporation becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, ninety (90) days thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off agreement may require) the Purchased
Shares exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by Rule 144, including (1) the resale being made through a broker in an unsolicited “broker’s transaction” or in
transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the 1934 Act); and, in the case of an affiliate, (2) the availability of certain public information about the Corporation, (3) the amount of Purchased Shares,
together with all other securities of the Corporation sold by Optionee that are required to be aggregated under Rule 144(e), being sold during any three month period not exceeding the limitations specified in Rule 144(e), and (4) the timely
filing of a Form 144, if applicable. 
 In the event that the Corporation does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of grant of the
Option, then the Purchased Shares may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires the resale to occur not less than one year after the later of the date the Purchased Shares were sold by the
Corporation or the date the Purchased Shares were sold by an affiliate of the Corporation, within the meaning of Rule 144; and, in the case of acquisition of the Purchased Shares by an affiliate, or by a non-affiliate who subsequently holds the
Purchased Shares less than two years, the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in sections (1), (2), (3) and (4) of the paragraph immediately above. 

C. Restrictions on Disposition of Purchased Shares. 

Optionee shall make no disposition of the Purchased Shares (other than a Permitted Transfer) unless and until there is compliance with all of
the following requirements: 
 (a) Optionee shall have provided the Corporation with a written summary of the terms and
conditions of the proposed disposition. 

  
 2 








 (b) Optionee shall have complied with all requirements of this Agreement
applicable to the disposition of the Purchased Shares. 
 (c) Optionee shall have provided the Corporation with written
assurances, in form and substance satisfactory to the Corporation, that (A) the proposed disposition does not require registration of the Purchased Shares under the 1933 Act or (B) all appropriate action necessary for compliance with the
registration requirements of the 1933 Act or any exemption from registration available under the 1933 Act (including Rule 144) has been taken. 

The Corporation shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Purchased Shares which have been sold or transferred in
violation of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as the owner of the Purchased Shares, or otherwise to accord voting, dividend or liquidation rights to, any transferee to whom the Purchased Shares have been transferred in
contravention of this Agreement. 
 D. Restrictive Legends. The stock certificates representing the Purchased Shares shall be endorsed
with one or more of the following restrictive legends: 
 “The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state’s securities laws and may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred, pledged or hypothecated unless and until such shares are registered under such laws or an opinion of counsel satisfactory
to the Company is obtained to the effect that such registration is not required.” 
 “The shares represented by this certificate
are subject to certain repurchase rights and rights of first refusal granted to the Corporation and accordingly may not be sold, assigned, transferred, encumbered, or in any manner disposed of except in conformity with the terms of a written
agreement dated May ___, 2010 between the Corporation and the registered holder of the shares (or the predecessor in interest to the shares). A copy of such agreement is maintained at the Corporation’s principal corporate offices.” 

 

	 	3.	TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS 

 A. Restriction on Transfer. Except for any Permitted
Transfer, Optionee shall not transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of any Purchased Shares in contravention of the First Refusal Right, the Market Stand-Off or the transfer restrictions set forth in Article B. 

B. Transferee Obligations. Each person (other than the Corporation) to whom the Purchased Shares are transferred by means of a Permitted
Transfer must, as a condition precedent to the validity of such transfer, acknowledge in writing to the Corporation that such person is bound by the provisions of this Agreement and that the transferred shares are subject to (a) the First
Refusal Right, (b) the Market Stand-Off and (c) the transfer restrictions set forth in Article B, to the same extent such shares would be so subject if retained by Optionee. 

  
 3 








 C. Market Stand-Off. 

In connection with the Corporation’s initial Qualified Public Offering and any underwritten public offering by the Corporation of its
equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the 1933 Act within two years after the effective date of the Corporation’s initial Qualified Public Offering, Owner shall not sell, make any short sale of, hedge
with, loan, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose or transfer for value or otherwise agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any Purchased Shares without the prior written
consent of the Corporation or its underwriters (the “Market Stand-Off”). The Market Stand-Off shall be in effect for such period of time from and after the effective date of the final prospectus for the offering as may be
requested by the Corporation or such underwriters; provided, however, that such period shall not exceed one hundred eighty days. 

i) Owner shall be subject to the Market Stand-Off provided and only_if the officers and directors of the Corporation are also subject
to similar restrictions. 
 ii) Any new, substituted or additional securities which are by reason of any Recapitalization or Reorganization
distributed with respect to the Purchased Shares shall be immediately subject to the Market Stand-Off. 
 iii) In order to enforce the
Market Stand-Off, the Corporation may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Purchased Shares until the end of the applicable stand-off period. 
  

	 	4.	RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL 

 A. Grant. The Corporation is hereby granted the
right of first refusal (the “First Refusal Right”) exercisable in connection with any proposed transfer of the Purchased Shares. For purposes of this Article D, the term “transfer” shall include any
sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or other disposition of the Purchased Shares intended to be made by Owner, but shall not include any Permitted Transfer. 

B. Notice of Intended Disposition. In the event any Owner of the Purchased Shares desires to accept a bona fide third-party offer for
the transfer of any or all of such shares (the Purchased Shares subject to such offer to be hereinafter referred to as the “Target Shares”), Owner shall promptly (a) deliver to the Corporation written notice (the
“Disposition Notice”) of the terms of the offer, including the purchase price and the identity of the third-party offeror, and (b) provide satisfactory proof that the disposition of the Target Shares to such third-party
offeror would not be in contravention of the provisions set forth in Articles B and C. 
 C. Exercise of the First Refusal
Right. The Corporation shall have the right to repurchase any or all of the Target Shares subject to the Disposition Notice upon the same terms as those specified therein or upon such other terms (not materially different from those specified in
the Disposition Notice) to which Owner consents. Such right shall be exercisable by delivery of written notice (the “Exercise Notice”) to Owner prior to the twenty-fifth day 

  
 4 








 
following receipt of the Disposition Notice. If such right is exercised with respect to all the Target Shares, then the Corporation shall effect the repurchase of such shares, including payment
of the purchase price, not more than five business days after delivery of the Exercise Notice; and at such time the certificates representing the Target Shares shall be delivered to the Corporation. 

Should the purchase price specified in the Disposition Notice be payable in property other than cash or evidences of indebtedness, the
Corporation shall have the right to pay the purchase price in the form of cash equal in amount to the value of such property. If Owner and the Corporation cannot agree on such cash value within ten days after the Corporation’s receipt of the
Disposition Notice, the valuation shall be made by an appraiser of recognized standing selected by Owner and the Corporation or, if they cannot agree on an appraiser within twenty days after the Corporation’s receipt of the Disposition Notice,
each shall select an appraiser of recognized standing and the two appraisers shall designate a third appraiser of recognized standing, whose appraisal shall be determinative of such value. The cost of such appraisal shall be shared equally by Owner
and the Corporation. The closing shall then be held on the later of (i) the fifth business day following delivery of the Exercise Notice or (ii) the fifth business day after such valuation shall have been made. 

D. Non-Exercise of the First Refusal Right. In the event the Exercise Notice is not given to Owner prior to the expiration of the
twenty-five day exercise period, Owner shall have a period of thirty days thereafter in which to sell or otherwise dispose of the Target Shares to the third-party offeror identified in the Disposition Notice upon terms (including the purchase price)
no more favorable to such third-party offeror than those specified in the Disposition Notice; provided, however, that any such sale or disposition must not be effected in contravention of the provisions of Articles B and C. The
third-party offeror shall acquire the Target Shares subject to the First Refusal Right and the provisions and restrictions of Article B and Paragraph C.3, and any subsequent disposition of the acquired shares must be effected
in compliance with the terms and conditions of such First Refusal Right and the provisions and restrictions of Article B and Paragraph C.3. In the event Owner does not effect such sale or disposition of the Target Shares
within the specified thirty day period, the First Refusal Right shall continue to be applicable to any subsequent disposition of the Target Shares by Owner until such right lapses. 

E. Partial Exercise of the First Refusal Right. In the event the Corporation makes a timely exercise of the First Refusal Right with
respect to a portion, but not all, of the Target Shares specified in the Disposition Notice, Owner shall have the option, exercisable by written notice to the Corporation delivered within five business days after Owner’s receipt of the Exercise
Notice, to effect the sale of the Target Shares pursuant to either of the following alternatives: 
 i) sale or other disposition of some or
all the Target Shares to the third-party offeror identified in the Disposition Notice, but in full compliance with the requirements of Paragraph D.4, as if the Corporation did not exercise the First Refusal Right; or 

ii) sale to the Corporation of the portion of the Target Shares which the Corporation has elected to purchase, such sale to be effected in
substantial conformity with the provisions of Paragraph D.3. The First Refusal Right shall continue to be applicable to any subsequent disposition of the remaining Target Shares until such right lapses. 

  
 5 








 Owner’s failure to deliver timely notification to the Corporation shall be deemed to be an
election by Owner to sell the Target Shares pursuant to alternative (a) above. 
 F. Recapitalization/Reorganization. 

Any new, substituted or additional securities or other property which is by reason of any Recapitalization distributed with respect to the
Purchased Shares shall be immediately subject to the First Refusal Right. 
 In the event of a Reorganization, the First Refusal Right shall
remain in full force and effect and shall apply to the new capital stock or other property received in exchange for the Purchased Shares in consummation of the Reorganization. 

G. Lapse. The First Refusal Right shall lapse upon the earlier to occur of (a) a Qualified Public Offering or (b) the
acquisition of the Corporation by an entity that is traded on a stock exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market. However, the Market Stand-Off shall continue to remain in full force and effect following the lapse of the First Refusal Right, in the case of
a transaction described in (a) above. 
  

	 	5.	GENERAL PROVISIONS 

 A. Assignment. The Corporation may assign the First Refusal
Right to any person or entity selected by Board of Directors of the Corporation, including (without limitation) one or more stockholders of the Corporation. 

B. Notices. Any notice required to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed effective upon personal
delivery or on the third day following deposit in the U.S. mail, registered or certified, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party entitled to such notice at the address indicated below such party’s signature line on this Agreement
or at such other address as such party may designate by ten days advance written notice under this paragraph to all other parties to this Agreement. 

C. No Waiver. The failure of the Corporation in any instance to exercise the First Refusal Right shall not constitute a waiver of any
other repurchase rights and/or rights of first refusal that may subsequently arise under the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement between the Corporation and Optionee. No waiver of any breach or condition of this Agreement shall be
deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or condition, whether of like or different nature. 
 D. Cancellation of
Shares. If the Corporation shall make available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided in this Agreement, the consideration for the Purchased Shares to be repurchased in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then
from and after such time, the person from whom such shares are to be repurchased shall no 

  
 6 








 
longer have any rights as a holder of such shares (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration in accordance with this Agreement). Such shares shall be deemed purchased in
accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, and the Corporation shall be deemed the owner and holder of such shares, whether or not the certificates therefor have been delivered as required by this Agreement. 

E. Optionee Undertaking. Optionee hereby agrees to take whatever additional action and execute whatever additional documents the
Corporation may deem necessary or advisable in order to carry out or effect one or more of the obligations or restrictions imposed on either Optionee or the Purchased Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. 

F. Governing Law. The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Delaware without giving effect to that State’s choice of law or conflict-of-laws rules. 
 G. Counterparts. This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 

H. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Corporation and its
successors and assigns and upon Optionee, Optionee’s permitted assigns and the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of Optionee’s estate, whether or not any such person shall have become a party to this Agreement and have agreed in
writing to join herein and be bound by the terms hereof.
