generality of the preceding sentence, the Committee may require as a condition to the grant of an Option to such an Employee or Consultant that such Employee or Consultant surrender for cancellation some or all of the unexercised Options which have
been previously granted to him or her. An Option the grant of which is conditioned upon such surrender may have an Option price lower (or higher) than the Option price of the surrendered Option, may cover the same (or a lesser or greater) number of

condition of the surrendered Option.

generality of the preceding sentence, the Board may require as a condition to the grant of an Option to an Independent Director that the Independent Director surrender for cancellation some or all of the unexercised Options which have been
previously granted to him or her. An Option the grant of which is conditioned upon such surrender may have an Option price lower (or higher) than the Option price of the surrendered Option, may cover the same (or a lesser or greater) number of
shares as the surrendered Option, may contain such other terms as the Board deems appropriate and shall be exercisable in accordance with its terms, without regard to the number of shares, price, period of exercisability or any other term or
condition of the surrendered Option. 
 ARTICLE IV.  
 TERMS OF OPTIONS 
 Section 4.1 Stock Option Agreement.
Each Option shall be evidenced by a written Stock Option Agreement, which shall be executed by the Optionee and an authorized Officer of the Company and which shall contain such terms and conditions as the Committee (or the Board, in the case of
Options granted to Independent Directors) shall determine, consistent with the Plan. Stock Option Agreements evidencing Incentive Stock Options shall contain such terms and conditions as may be necessary to qualify such Options as “incentive
stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. 
 Section 4.2 Exercisability of Options

 (a) Each Option shall become exercisable according to the terms of the applicable Stock Option Agreement; provided,
however, that by a resolution adopted after an Option is granted the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Options granted to Independent Directors) may, on such terms and conditions as it may determine to be appropriate, accelerate the time
at which such Option or any portion thereof may be exercised. 
 (b) Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Stock
Option Agreement, no portion of an Option which is unexercisable at Termination of Employment, Termination of Consultancy or Termination of Directorship, as applicable, shall thereafter become exercisable. 
 (c) To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of stock with respect to which “incentive stock options” (within the
meaning of Section 422 of the Code, but without regard to Section 422(d) of the Code) are exercisable for the first time by an Optionee during any calendar year (under the Plan and all other incentive stock option plans of the Company or
any Subsidiary thereof) exceeds $100,000, such options shall be treated and taxable as Non-Qualified Stock Options. The rule set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied by taking options into account in the order in which they were granted,
and the stock issued upon exercise of options shall designate whether such stock was acquired upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option. For purposes of these rules, the Fair Market Value of stock shall be determined as of the date of grant of the
Option granted with respect to such stock. 
  

 6 








 Section 4.3 Option Price The price of the shares subject to each Option shall be set
by the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Options granted to Independent Directors); provided, however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the price per share shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such
shares on the date such Option is granted; and provided, further, that in the case of an individual then owning (within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock
of the Company, the price per share shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of such shares on the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted. 
 Section 4.4 Expiration of Options. No Option may be exercised to any extent by anyone after the first to occur of the following events: 
 (a) The expiration of ten years from the date the Option was granted; or 
 (b) With respect to an Incentive Stock Option in the case of an Optionee owning (within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code),
at the time the Incentive Stock Option was granted, more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, the expiration of five years from the date the Incentive Stock Option was granted.

 Section 4.5 At-Will Employment. Nothing in the Plan or in any Stock Option Agreement hereunder shall confer upon any
Optionee any right to continue in the employ of, or as a Consultant for, the Company or any Subsidiary, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and any Subsidiary, which are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge
any Optionee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Optionee and the Company or any Subsidiary. 
 ARTICLE V.  
 EXERCISE OF
OPTIONS 
 Section 5.1 Person Eligible to Exercise. During the lifetime of the Optionee, only he or she may
exercise an Option (or any portion thereof); provided, however, that the Optionee’s Eligible Representative may exercise such Optionee’s Option during the period of his or her disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the
Code) notwithstanding that an Option so exercised may not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option. After the death of the Optionee, any exercisable portion of an Option may, prior to the time when such portion becomes unexercisable under the Plan or
the applicable Stock Option Agreement, be exercised by his or her Eligible Representative. 
 Section 5.2 Partial
Exercise. At any time and from time to time prior to the time when the Option becomes unexercisable under the Plan or the applicable Stock Option Agreement, the exercisable portion of an Option may be exercised in whole or in part; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares and the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Options granted to Independent Directors) may, by the terms of the Option, require any partial exercise to exceed a
specified minimum number of shares. 
  

 7 








 Section 5.3 Manner of Exercise. An exercisable Option, or any exercisable portion
thereof, may be exercised solely by delivery to the corporate secretary of all of the following prior to the time when such Option or such portion becomes unexercisable under the Plan or the applicable Stock Option Agreement:

provided in the terms of the applicable Stock Option Agreement or otherwise, (A) shares of Common Stock which have been owned by the Optionee for more than six months duly endorsed for transfer to the Company with a Fair Market Value on the
date of delivery equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Option or exercised portion thereof; (B) except with respect to Incentive Stock Options, shares of the Common Stock issuable to the Optionee upon exercise of the Option, with a Fair
Market Value on the date of Option exercise equal to the aggregate Option price of the shares with respect to which such Option or portion is thereby exercised; (C) following an Initial Public Offering, delivery of a notice that the Optionee

satisfaction of the Option exercise price; or (D) any combination of the consideration listed in this subsection (c); provided, however, that consent of the Committee or the Board shall not be required to the extent that any such form of
payment is expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of a Stock Option Agreement without any additional consent of the Committee or the Board; or 
 (d) The payment to the Company (in cash or by personal, certified or bank cashier check or by any other means of payment approved by the Committee) of all amounts necessary to satisfy any and all federal, state and
local tax withholding requirements arising in connection with the exercise of the Option;

documents as the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Options granted to Independent Directors) deems necessary or advisable to effect compliance with all applicable provisions of the Securities Act, Exchange Act and any other federal or state

placing legends on share certificates and issuing stop-transfer orders to transfer agents and registrars; and 
 (f) In the event that the Option or any portion thereof shall be exercised pursuant to Section 5.1 by any person or persons other
than the Optionee, appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option or portion thereof. 
 Section 5.4 Conditions to Issuance of Stock Certificates. The shares of stock issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of an Option, or any portion thereof, may be either previously authorized but unissued shares or
issued shares which have then been reacquired by the Company. A certificate of shares will be delivered to the Optionee at the Company’s principal place of business within thirty days of receipt by the Company of the written notice and payment,
unless an earlier date is agreed upon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for shares of stock purchased upon the exercise of any Option or portion thereof prior to

of the Company in respect of any shares purchasable upon the exercise of any part of an Option unless and until such holder has signed the Stockholders Agreement and certificates representing such shares have been issued by the Company to such
holder. 
 Section 5.6 Transfer Restrictions. Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of a Stockholders Agreement, to the extent then applicable. In addition, the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Options granted to Independent Directors), in its sole discretion, may impose further restrictions on the transferability
of the 

  

 9 








 
shares purchasable upon the exercise of an Option as it deems appropriate. Any such restriction shall be set forth in the respective Stock Option Agreement
and may be referred to on the certificates evidencing such shares. The Committee may require an Employee to give the Company prompt notice of any disposition of shares of stock, acquired by exercise of an Incentive Stock Option, within two years
from the date of granting such Option or one year after the transfer of such shares to such Employee. The Committee may direct that the certificates evidencing shares acquired by exercise of an Incentive Stock Option refer to such requirement.

Stock Option Agreement may be taken by the Board. 
 Section 6.2 Delegation of Authority. The Committee may, but need not,
from time to time delegate some or all of its authority to grant Options under the Plan to a committee or subcommittee consisting of one or more members of the Committee or of one or more Officers of the Company; provided, however, that the
Committee may not delegate its authority to grant Options to individuals (a) who are subject on the date of the grant to the reporting rules under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, (b) whose compensation the Committee determines is,
or may become, subject to the deduction limitations set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code or (c) who are Officers of the Company who are delegated authority by the Committee hereunder. Any delegation hereunder shall be subject to the
restrictions and limits that the Committee specifies at the time of such delegation, and the Committee may at any time rescind the authority so delegated or appoint a new delegatee. At all times, the delegatee appointed under this Section 6.2
shall serve in such capacity at the pleasure of the Committee. 
 Section 6.3 Duties and Powers of the Committee. It shall
be the duty of the Committee to conduct the general administration of the Plan in accordance with its provisions. The Committee shall have the power to interpret the Plan and the Options and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation

Plan with respect to Options granted to Independent Directors. Any such interpretations and rules in regard to Incentive Stock Options shall be consistent with the terms and conditions applicable to “incentive stock options” within the
meaning of Section 422 of the Code. All determinations and

decisions made by the Committee under any provision of the Plan or of any Option granted thereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons.

compensation, if any, for their services hereunder as may be determined by the Board. All expenses and liabilities incurred by the members of the Committee or the Board in connection with the administration of the Plan shall be borne by the Company.
The Committee or the Board may employ attorneys, consultants, accountants, appraisers, brokers or other persons. The Committee, the Company and its Officers and Directors shall be entitled to rely upon the advice, opinions or valuations of any such
persons. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee and the Board in good faith shall be final and binding upon all Optionees, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Board shall be
personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or the Options, and all members of the Board shall be fully protected by the Company in respect to any such action, determination or
interpretation.

the extent expressly prohibited by the terms of the applicable Stock Option Agreement, by 

  

 12 








 
action taken prior to the occurrence of such Corporate Event, that upon such event, such Option (or any portion thereof) be assumed by the successor or
survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof (including without limitation any common parent of the Company and any other company or companies), or shall be substituted for by similar options, rights or awards covering the stock of the
successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof (including without limitation any common parent of the Company and any other company or companies), with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices; and

 (v) In its sole discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, the Committee (or the Board, in the
case of Options granted to Independent Directors) may make adjustments in the number and type of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Options (or any portion thereof) and/or in the terms and conditions of
(including the exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding Options and Options which may be granted in the future. 
 (c) Subject to Section 7.1(d), the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Options granted to Independent Directors) may, in its sole discretion, include such further provisions and limitations in any Stock Option Agreement as it may
deem equitable and in the best interests of the Company and its Affiliates. 
 (d) With respect to Incentive Stock Options, no
adjustment or action described in this Section 7.1 or in any other provision of the Plan shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment or action would cause the Plan to violate Section 422(b)(1) of the Code or any successor
provisions thereto, unless the Committee determines that the Plan and/or the Options are not to comply with Section 422(b)(1) of the Code. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to any Option shall always be rounded up to the next higher
whole number. 
 Section 7.2 Options Not Transferable. No Option or interest or right therein or part thereof shall be
liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Optionee or his or her successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition
be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law, by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect;
provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.2 shall prevent transfers by will, by the applicable laws of descent and distribution or, with the prior written consent of the Committee, pursuant to Permitted Transferees as defined in
the Stockholders Agreement. 
 Section 7.3 Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan. The Plan may be wholly or
partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Board or the Committee. However, without stockholder approval within 12 months before or after such action no action of the Board or the
Committee may, except as provided in Section 7.1, increase any limit imposed in Section 2.1 on the maximum number of shares which may be issued on exercise of Options, reduce the minimum Option price requirements of Section 4.3(a), or
extend the limit imposed in this Section 7.3 on the period during which options may be granted. Except as provided by Section 7.1, neither the 

  

 13 








 
amendment, suspension nor termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the holder of the Option, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any
Option theretofore granted. No Option may be granted during any period of suspension nor after termination of the Plan, and in no event may any Option be granted under this Plan after the expiration of ten years from the date the Plan is adopted by
the Board. 
 Section 7.4 Effect of Plan Upon Other Option and Compensation Plans. The adoption of this Plan shall not
affect any other compensation or incentive plans in effect for the Company or any Affiliate. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to limit the right of the Company or any Affiliate (a) to establish any other forms of incentives or
compensation for directors or employees of the Company (or any Affiliate); or (b) to grant or assume options otherwise than under this Plan in connection with any proper corporate purpose, including, but not by way of limitation, the grant or
assumption of options in connection with the acquisition by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of the business, stock or assets of any corporation, firm or association. 
 Section 7.5 Approval of Plan by Stockholders. This Plan will be submitted for the approval of the Company’s stockholders within
12 months after the date of the Board’s initial adoption of this Plan. No Incentive Stock Option may be exercised to any extent by anyone unless and until the Plan is so approved by the stockholders, and if such approval has not been obtained
by the end of said 12-month period, the Plan and all Options theretofore granted shall thereupon be canceled and become null and void. 
 Section 7.6 Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of the Plan. 
 Section 7.7 Conformity to Securities Laws. The Plan is intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any and all regulations and rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder to the extent the Company or any Optionee is subject to the provisions thereof. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and Options shall be granted and may be exercised, only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and Options
granted hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. 
 Section 7.8
Governing Law. To the extent not preempted by federal law, the Plan shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof, or principles
of conflicts of law of any other jurisdiction which could cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. 
 Section 7.9 Severability. In the event any portion of the Plan or any action taken pursuant thereto 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 provisions had not been included, and the illegal or invalid action shall be null and void.
