 2

 4. Exercise Periods. 

(a) In General. The Plan shall generally be implemented by a series of Exercise Periods, each of which lasts approximately six
(6) months. 
 (b) Changes by Committee. The Committee shall have the power to make changes to the duration and/or
the frequency of Exercise Periods with respect to future offerings if such change is announced at least five (5) days prior to the scheduled beginning of the first Exercise Period to be affected. 

5. Participation. Employees meeting the eligibility requirements of Section 3 hereof may elect to participate in the Plan
commencing on any Entry Date by completing an enrollment agreement on the form provided by the Company and filing the enrollment agreement with the Company (or a person or firm designated by the Committee) on or prior to such Entry Date, unless a

excluded from the Plan if the grant of an option under the Plan or any offering to a citizen or resident of the foreign jurisdiction is prohibited under the laws of such jurisdiction, to the extent allowed under Section 423 of the Code.

 6. Plan Contributions. 

(a) Contribution by Payroll Deduction. Except as otherwise authorized by the Committee, all contributions to the Plan shall be
made only by payroll deductions. The Committee may, but need not, permit Participants to make after-tax contributions to the Plan at such times and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may in its discretion determine. All such
additional contributions shall be made in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 423 of the Code or any successor thereto, and shall be treated in the same manner as payroll deductions contributed to the Plan as provided herein.

 (b) Payroll Deduction Election on Enrollment Agreement. At the time a Participant files the enrollment agreement with
respect to an Exercise Period, the Participant may authorize payroll deductions to be made on each payroll date during the portion of the Exercise Period that he or she is a Participant in an amount not less than 1% and not more than 10% of the
Participant’s Compensation on each payroll date during the portion of the Exercise Period that he or she is a Participant. The amount of payroll deductions must be a whole percentage (e.g., 1%, 2%, 3%, etc.) of the Participant’s
Compensation. 
  

 3 








 (c) Commencement of Payroll Deductions. Except as otherwise determined by the
Committee under rules applicable to all Participants, payroll deductions shall commence with the earliest administratively practicable payroll period that begins on or after the Entry Date with respect to which the Participant files an enrollment
agreement in accordance with Section 5. 
 (d) Automatic Continuation of Payroll Deductions. Unless a Participant
elects otherwise prior to the Exercise Date of an Exercise Period, including the Exercise Date prior to termination in the case of an Exercise Period terminated under Section 4(b) hereof, such Participant shall be deemed (i) to have
elected to participate in the immediately succeeding Exercise Period (and, for purposes of such Exercise Period the Participant’s “Entry Date” shall be deemed to be the first day of such Exercise Period) and (ii) to have
authorized the same payroll deduction for the immediately succeeding Exercise Period as was in effect for the Participant immediately prior to the commencement of the succeeding Exercise Period. 

(e) Change of Payroll Deduction Election. A Participant may decrease or increase the rate or amount of his or her payroll
deductions during an Exercise Period (within the limitations of Section 6(b) above) by completing and filing with the Company (or a person or firm designated by the Committee) a new enrollment agreement authorizing a change in the rate or
amount of payroll deductions; provided, that a Participant may not change the rate or amount of his or her payroll deductions more than once in any Exercise Period. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee under rules applicable to all
Participants, the change in rate or amount shall be effective as of the earliest administratively practicable payroll period that begins on or after the date the Committee receives the new enrollment agreement. Additionally, a Participant may
discontinue his or her participation in the Plan as provided in Section 13(a). 
 (f) Automatic Changes in Payroll
Deduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code, Section 7(d) hereof, or any other applicable law, a Participant’s payroll deductions for any calendar year may be
decreased, including to 0%, at such time during such calendar year that the aggregate of all payroll deductions accumulated during such calendar year are equal to the product of $25,000 multiplied by the Applicable Percentage for the calendar year.
Payroll deductions shall recommence at the rate provided in the Participant’s enrollment agreement at the beginning of the first Exercise Period beginning in the following calendar year, unless the Participant terminates participation as
provided in Section 13(a). 
 7. Grant of Option. 

(a) Ordinary Shares Subject to Option. On a Participant’s Entry Date, subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 7(d) and this Section 7(a), the Participant shall be granted an option to purchase on the subsequent Exercise Date (at the Exercise Price determined as provided in Section 7(b) below) up to a number of Ordinary Shares
determined by dividing such Participant’s Plan Contributions accumulated prior to such Exercise Date and retained in the Participant’s account as of such Exercise Date by the Exercise Price; provided, that the maximum number of Ordinary
Shares a Participant may purchase during any Exercise Period shall be 5,000. Fractional shares are expressly permitted unless otherwise determined by the Committee. 

 

 4 








 (b) Exercise Price. The Exercise Price per Ordinary Share offered to each Participant
in a given Exercise Period shall be the Applicable Percentage of the Fair Market Value of an Ordinary Share on the Exercise Date. The Applicable Percentage with respect to each Exercise Period shall be 95% unless and until such Applicable Percentage
is increased by the Committee, in its sole discretion, provided that any such increase in the Applicable Percentage with respect to a given Exercise Period must be established not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the Entry Date thereof.

 (c) Fair Market Value. The Fair Market Value of the Ordinary Shares is (a) while the Ordinary Shares are readily
traded on an established national or regional securities exchange, the closing transaction price of such Ordinary Shares as reported by the principal exchange on which such Ordinary Shares are traded on the date as of which such value is being
determined or, if there were no reported transaction for such date, the opening transaction price as reported by the exchange for the first trading date following the date by which such value is being determined on the next preceding date for which
a transaction was reported, (b) if the Ordinary Shares are not readily traded on an established national or regional securities exchange, the average of the bid and ask prices for such Ordinary Shares on the date as of which such value is being
determined, where quoted for such Ordinary Shares, or (c) if Fair Market Value cannot be determined under clause (a) or clause (b) above, or if the Committee determines in its sole discretion that the Ordinary Shares are too thinly
traded for Fair Market Value to be determined pursuant to clause (a) or clause (b), the value as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, on a good faith basis. 

(d) Limitation on Option that may be Granted. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Participant shall be
granted an option under the Plan (i) to the extent that if, immediately after the grant, such Employee (including any Ordinary Shares which are attributed to such Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code) would own Ordinary Shares
and/or hold outstanding options to purchase Ordinary Shares possessing, in the aggregate, 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or of any Subsidiary of the Company or a related corporation as
computed under Section 423(b)(3) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, or (ii) to the extent that his or her rights to purchase Ordinary shares under all employee stock purchase plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries
intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of Fair Market Value of Ordinary Shares (determined at the time such option is granted) for each calendar year in which such option is outstanding at any
time, as determined in accordance with section 423(b)(8) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. 
 (e) No
Rights as Shareholder. A Participant will have no interest or voting right in the Ordinary Shares covered by his option until such option has been exercised. 

8. Exercise of Options. 

(a) Automatic Exercise. A Participant’s option for the purchase of Ordinary Shares will be exercised automatically on each
Exercise Date, and the maximum number of full Ordinary Shares subject to the option shall be purchased for the Participant at the applicable Exercise Price with the accumulated Plan Contributions then credited to the Participant’s account

  

 5 








 
under the Plan, subject to the limitation in Section 7(a) or any other limitation in the Plan. During a Participant’s lifetime, a Participant’s option to purchase Ordinary Shares
hereunder is exercisable only by the Participant. 
 9. Issuance of Shares. 

(a) Delivery of Shares. The Company (or a person or firm designated by the Committee) will hold in book-entry the Ordinary Shares
purchased by each Participant under the Plan. Upon receipt of written request from or on behalf of a Participant, the Company (or a person or firm designated by the Committee) shall, as promptly as practicable, arrange for the delivery to such
Participant (or the Participant’s beneficiary), as appropriate, or to a custodial account for the benefit of such Participant (or the Participant’s beneficiary) as appropriate, of a certificate representing the shares purchased under the
Plan, and the Company shall assume, for tax purposes, such Participant’s disposition of the underlying shares (unless such Participant clearly advises the Company (or a person or firm designated by the Committee) otherwise in writing); provided
that in lieu of delivering a certificate representing any fractional share, the Company may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, pay to the Participant or credit to the Participant’s account the fair market value of such fractional share.
In the event that a Participant provides a written statement of his intention not to sell or otherwise dispose of such shares as set forth in the foregoing sentence, such Participant shall be required to report to the Company (or a person or firm
designated by the Committee) any subsequent disposition of such shares prior to the expiration of the holding periods specified by Section 423(a)(1) of the Code. If and to the extent that such disposition imposes upon the Company federal,
state, local or other withholding tax requirements, or any such withholding is required to secure for the Company an otherwise available tax deduction, the Participant must remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy those requirements.

 (b) Registration of Shares. Ordinary Shares to be delivered to a Participant under the Plan will be registered in the
name of the Participant or in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse, as requested by the Participant. 
 (c)
Compliance with Applicable Laws. The Plan, the grant and exercise of options to purchase shares under the Plan, and the Company’s obligation to sell and deliver Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of options to purchase Ordinary Shares
shall be subject to compliance with all applicable federal, state and foreign laws, rules and regulations and the requirements of any stock exchange on which the Ordinary Shares may then be listed. 

(d) Withholding. The Company may make such provisions as it deems appropriate for withholding by the Company pursuant to federal
or state tax laws of such amounts as the Company determines it is required to withhold in connection with the purchase or sale by a Participant of any Ordinary Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan. The Company may require a Participant to satisfy
any relevant tax requirements before authorizing any issuance of Ordinary Shares to such Participant. 
  

 6 








 10. Participant Accounts. 

(a) Bookkeeping Accounts Maintained. Individual bookkeeping accounts will be maintained for each Participant in the Plan to
account for the balance of his Plan Contributions, options issued, and shares purchased under the Plan. However, all Plan Contributions made for a Participant shall be deposited in the Company’s general corporate accounts, and no interest shall
accrue or be credited with respect to a Participant’s Plan Contributions. All Plan Contributions received or held by the Company may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate or
otherwise set apart such Plan Contributions from any other corporate funds. 
 (b) Participant Account Statements.
Statements of account will be given to Participants quarterly, which statements will set forth the amounts of payroll deductions, the per share purchase price and the number of shares purchased. 

11. Designation of Beneficiary. 

(a) Designation. A Participant may file with the Company (or a person or firm designated by the Committee) a written designation
of a beneficiary who is to receive any shares and cash, if any, from the Participant’s account under the Plan in the event of the Participant’s death subsequent to an Exercise Date on which the Participant’s option hereunder is
exercised but prior to delivery to the Participant of such shares and cash. In addition, a Participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the Participant’s account under the Plan in the event of the
Participant’s death prior to the exercise of the option. 
 (b) Change of Designation. A Participant’s
beneficiary designation may be changed by the Participant at any time in the manner designated by the Company (or a person or firm designated by the Committee). In the event of the death of a Participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly
designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such Participant’s death, the Company (or a person or firm designated by the Committee) shall deliver such shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the
Participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company (or a person or firm designated by the Committee), in its discretion, may deliver such shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any
one or more dependents or relatives of the Participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate. 

12. Transferability. Neither Plan Contributions credited to a Participant’s account nor any rights to exercise any option or
receive Ordinary Shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or as provided in Section 11). Any attempted assignment, transfer,
pledge or other distribution shall be without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw in accordance with Section 13(a). 

13. Withdrawal; Termination of Employment. 

(a) Withdrawal. A Participant may withdraw from the Plan at any time by giving written notice to the Company (or a person or firm
designated by the Committee). Payroll 
  

 7 








 
deductions, if any have been authorized, shall cease as soon as administratively practicable after receipt of the Participant’s notice of withdrawal, and, subject to administrative
practicability, no further purchases shall be made for the Participant’s account. All Plan Contributions credited to the Participant’s account, if any, and not yet invested in Ordinary Shares, will be paid to the Participant as soon as
administratively practicable after receipt of the Participant’s notice of withdrawal. The Participant’s unexercised options to purchase shares pursuant to the Plan automatically will be terminated. Payroll deductions will not resume on
behalf of a Participant who has withdrawn from the Plan (a “Former Participant”) unless the Former Participant enrolls in a subsequent Exercise Period in accordance with Section 5 and subject to the restriction provided in
Section 13(b), below. 
 (b) Effect of Withdrawal on Subsequent Participation. A Former Participant who has
withdrawn from the Plan pursuant to this Section 13(b) shall be eligible to participate in the Plan at the beginning of the next Exercise Period following the date the Former Participant withdrew, and the Former Participant must submit a new
enrollment agreement in order to again become a Participant as of that date. 
 (c) Termination of Employment. Upon
termination of a Participant’s Continuous Status as an Employee of the Company or any Designated Subsidiary prior to any Exercise Date for any reason except death or disability, the Plan Contributions credited to the Participant’s account
and not yet invested in Ordinary Shares will be returned to the Participant. In the case of death or disability, any Plan Contributions credited to the Participant’s account and not yet invested in Ordinary Shares will be used to acquire
Ordinary Shares on the Exercise Date following the Participant’s death or disability pursuant to Section 8. Any amount remaining to the credit of a Participant’s account after the purchase of shares by the Participant on such Exercise
Date which is insufficient to purchase a full Ordinary Share will be returned to the Participant. 
 14. Ordinary Shares
Available under the Plan. 
 (a) Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 14(b) below, the
maximum number of Ordinary Shares that shall be made available for sale under the Plan shall be 500,000. Ordinary Shares subject to the Plan may be newly issued shares or shares reacquired in private transactions or open market purchases. If and to
the extent that any right to purchase reserved shares shall not be exercised by any Participant for any reason or if such right to purchase shall terminate as provided herein, shares that have not been so purchased hereunder shall again become
available for the purpose of the Plan unless the Plan shall have been terminated, but all shares sold under the Plan, regardless of source, shall be counted against the limitation set forth above. 

(b) Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization; Corporate Transactions. 

(i) If the outstanding Ordinary Shares are increased or decreased, or are changed into or are exchanged for a different number or kind
of shares, as a result of one or more reorganizations, restructurings, recapitalizations, reclassifications, stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends or the like, upon authorization of the Committee, appropriate adjustments shall be made
in the number and/or kind of shares, and the per-share option price thereof, which may be issued in the aggregate and to any Participant upon exercise of options granted under the Plan. 

 

 8 








 (ii) In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Exercise
Period will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Committee. 

(iii) In the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or the merger of the Company with or
into another corporation (each, a “Sale Transaction”), each option under the Plan shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be substituted by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation, unless
the Committee determines, in the exercise of its sole discretion and in lieu of such assumption or substitution, to shorten the Exercise Period then in progress by setting a new Exercise Date (the “New Exercise Date”). If the Committee
shortens the Exercise Period then in progress in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a Sale Transaction, the Committee shall notify each Participant in writing, at least ten (10) days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the
exercise date for such Participant’s option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that such Participant’s option will be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the Participant has withdrawn from
the Plan as provided in Section 13(a). For purposes of this Section 14(b), an option granted under the Plan shall be deemed to have been assumed if, following the Sale Transaction, the option confers the right to purchase, for each share
of option stock subject to the option immediately prior to the Sale Transaction, the consideration (whether stock, cash or other securities or property) received in the Sale Transaction by holders of Ordinary Shares for each Ordinary Share held on
the effective date of the Sale Transaction (and if such holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Ordinary Shares); provided, that if the consideration received
in the Sale Transaction was not solely common stock or ordinary shares of the successor corporation or its parent (as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code), the Committee may, with the consent of the successor corporation and the Participant,
provide for the consideration to be received upon exercise of the option to be solely common stock or ordinary shares of the successor corporation or its parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by the holders of
Ordinary Shares in the Sale Transaction. 
 (iv) In all cases, the Committee shall have sole discretion to exercise any of the
powers and authority provided under this Section 14, and the Committee’s actions hereunder shall be final and binding on all Participants. No fractional shares of stock shall be issued under the Plan pursuant to any adjustment authorized
under the provisions of this Section 14. 
 15. Administration. 

(a) Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have the authority to interpret the Plan, to
prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. The administration, interpretation, or application of the Plan by the Committee
shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons. In addition, the Committee shall have the authority to retain and engage such third parties as it shall determine necessary to assist with the administration of the Plan. 

 

 9 








 (b) Requirements of Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 15(a) above, in the event that Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act or any successor provision thereto (“Rule 16b-3”) provides specific requirements for the administrators of plans of this type, the Plan shall only be
administered by such body and in such a manner as shall comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3. 
 16.
Amendment, Suspension, and Termination of the Plan. 
 (a) Amendment of the Plan. The Board or the Committee may
at any time, or from time to time, amend the Plan in any respect; provided, that (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 4(b) hereof, no such amendment may make any change in any option theretofore granted which adversely affects the
rights of any Participant and (ii) the Plan may not be amended in any way that will cause rights issued under the Plan to fail to meet the requirements for employee stock purchase plans as defined in Section 423 of the Code or any
successor thereto. To the extent necessary to comply with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, Section 423 of the Code, or any other applicable law or regulation, the Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any such amendment. 

(b) Suspension of the Plan. The Board or the Committee may, as of the close of any Exercise Date, suspend the Plan; provided, that
the Board or Committee provides notice to the Participants at least five (5) business days prior to the suspension. The Board or Committee may resume the normal operation of the Plan as of any Exercise Date; provided further, that the Board or
Committee provides notice to the Participants at least twenty (20) business days prior to the date of termination of the suspension period. A Participant shall remain a Participant in the Plan during any suspension period (unless he or she
