 SECTION 4 

ENROLLMENT 
 4.1
Participation. Each Eligible Employee may elect to become a Participant by enrolling or re-enrolling in the Plan effective as of any Enrollment Date. In order to enroll, an Eligible Employee must complete and submit to the Company an
enrollment form in such form, manner and by such deadline as may be specified by the Committee from time to time (in its discretion and on a nondiscriminatory basis). Any Participant whose option expires and who has not withdrawn from the Plan
automatically will be re-enrolled in the Plan on the Enrollment Date immediately following the Purchase Date on which his or her option expires. 

4.2 Payroll Withholding. On his or her enrollment form, each Participant must elect to make Plan contributions via payroll withholding
from his or her Compensation pursuant to such procedures as the Committee may specify from time to time. A Participant may elect to have withholding equal to a whole percentage from 1% to 10% (or such lesser, or greater, percentage that the

SECTION 5 
 OPTIONS TO
PURCHASE COMMON STOCK 
 5.1 Grant of Option. On each Enrollment Date on which the Participant enrolls or re-enrolls in the Plan,
he or she shall be granted an option to purchase shares of Common Stock. 
 5.2 Duration of Option. Each option granted under the
Plan shall expire upon the earliest to occur of (a) the completion of the purchase of shares on the last Purchase Date in the Offering Period or (b) the date on which the Participant ceases to be such for any reason. 

5.3 Number of Shares Subject to Option. The number of shares available for purchase by each Participant under the option will be
established by the Committee from time to time prior to an Enrollment Date for all options to be granted on such Enrollment Date. 
 5.4
Other Terms and Conditions. Each option shall be subject to the following additional terms and conditions: 
 (a)
payment for shares purchased under the option shall be made only through payroll withholding under Section 4.2; 

  
 3 








 (b) purchase of shares upon exercise of the option will be accomplished only in
accordance with Section 6.1; 
 (c) the price per share under the option will be determined as provided in Section 6.1; and

 (d) the option in all respects shall be subject to such other terms and conditions (applied on a uniform and
nondiscriminatory basis), as the Committee shall determine from time to time in its discretion. 
 SECTION 6 

PURCHASE OF SHARES 
 6.1
Exercise of Option. Subject to Section 6.2, on each Purchase Date, the funds then credited to each Participant’s account shall be used to purchase whole shares of Common Stock. Any cash remaining after whole shares of Common Stock have
been purchased shall be carried forward in the Participant’s account for the purchase of shares on the next Purchase Date. The price per share of the shares purchased under any option granted under the Plan shall be eighty-five percent (85%) of
the lower of: 
 (a) the last quoted per share selling price on an established securities market for shares of Common Stock
on the Grant Date for such option, or if there were no sales on such date, the last quoted per share price for shares on the most recent preceding date on which there were sales of shares of Common Stock; or 

(b) the last quoted per share selling price on an established securities market for shares of Common Stock on the Purchase Date
or if there were no sales on such date, the last quoted per share price for shares on the most recent preceding date on which there were sales of shares of Common Stock.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum number of shares purchasable by any Participant on any one Purchase Date for any Offering Period
shall not exceed [            ] shares (subject to adjustment under Section 3.2 and change pursuant to Section 5.3), and any amount not applied to the purchase of shares on behalf of a
Participant by reason of such limitation shall be refunded to that Participant (without interest thereon). 
 6.2 Delivery of Shares.
As directed by the Committee in its sole discretion, shares purchased on any Purchase Date shall be delivered directly to the Participant or to a custodian or broker (if any) designated by the Committee to hold shares for the benefit of the
Participants. As determined by the Committee from time to time, such shares shall be delivered as physical certificates or by means of a book entry system. 

6.3 Exhaustion of Shares. If at any time the shares available under the Plan are over-enrolled, enrollments shall be reduced
proportionately to eliminate the over-enrollment. Such reduction method shall be “bottom up,” with the result that all option exercises for one share shall be satisfied first, followed by all exercises for two shares, and so on, until all
available shares have been exhausted. Any funds that, due to over-enrollment, cannot be applied to the purchase of whole shares shall be refunded to the Participants (without interest thereon). 

6.4 Accrual Limitations. No Participant shall be entitled to accrue rights to acquire shares of Common Stock pursuant to any
purchase right outstanding under this Plan if and to the extent such 

  
 4 








 
accrual, when aggregated with rights accrued under other purchase rights outstanding under this Plan and similar rights accrued under other employee stock purchase plans (within the meaning of
Section 423 of the Code) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, would otherwise permit such Participant to purchase more than Twenty-Five Thousand U.S. Dollars (US$25,000) worth of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary (determined on the basis
of the fair market value of such stock on the date or dates such rights are granted to the Participant) for each calendar year such rights are at any time outstanding. For purposes of applying the accrual limitations of this Section 6.4, the right
to acquire shares of Common Stock pursuant to each purchase right outstanding under the Plan shall accrue as follows: (i) the right to acquire shares of Common Stock under each such purchase right shall accrue as and when the purchase right first
becomes exercisable during the calendar year; and (ii) no right to acquire shares of Common Stock under any outstanding purchase right shall accrue to the extent the Participant has already accrued in the same calendar year the right to acquire
Twenty-Five Thousand U.S. Dollars (US$25,000) worth of shares of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the fair market value on the date or dates of grant) pursuant to one or more purchase rights held by the Participant during such calendar year.
If by reason of this Section 6.4, one or more purchase rights of a Participant do not accrue for a particular purchase period, then the payroll deductions which the Participant made during that purchase period with respect to such purchase rights
shall be promptly refunded in the currency originally collected (without interest thereon). In the event there is any conflict between the provisions of this Section 6.4 and one or more provisions of the Plan or any instrument issued
thereunder, the provisions of this Section 6.4 shall be controlling. 
 SECTION 7 

WITHDRAWAL 
 7.1
Withdrawal. A Participant may withdraw from the Plan by submitting a completed Employee Stock Purchase Plan Authorization form to the Company in such form and manner prescribed by the Company (in its discretion and on a uniform and
nondiscriminatory basis). A withdrawal will be effective only if it is received by the Company by the deadline specified by the Committee (in its discretion and on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis) from time to time. When a withdrawal becomes
effective, the Participant’s payroll contributions shall cease and all amounts then credited to the Participant’s account shall be distributed to him or her (without interest thereon). 

SECTION 8 
 CESSATION OF
PARTICIPATION 
 8.1 Termination of Status as Eligible Employee. A Participant shall cease to be a Participant immediately upon
the cessation of his or her status as an Eligible Employee (for example, because of his or her termination of employment from all Employers for any reason). As soon as practicable after such cessation, the Participant’s payroll contributions
shall cease and all amounts then credited to the Participant’s account shall be distributed to him or her (without interest thereon). For purposes of determining whether a Participant ceases to be an Eligible Employee, a Participant is still
considered to be employed by an Employer if such individual is on a Company-approved leave of absence; provided however, that if such leave of absence exceeds three months, and the Participant’s right to reemployment is not guaranteed
either by statute or by contract, the Participant shall cease to be an Eligible Employee on the first day following such three month period. 

SECTION 9 
 DESIGNATION
OF BENEFICIARY 
 9.1 Designation. Each Participant may, pursuant to such uniform and nondiscriminatory procedures as the
Committee may specify from time to time, designate one or more beneficiaries to 

  
 5 








 
receive any amounts credited to the Participant’s account at the time of his or her death. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Section 9, Sections 9.1 and 9.2 shall be operative
only after (and for so long as) the Committee determines (on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis) to permit the designation of beneficiaries. 

9.2 Changes. A Participant may designate different beneficiaries (or may revoke a prior beneficiary designation) at any time by
delivering a new designation (or revocation of a prior designation) in like manner. Any designation or revocation shall be effective only if it is received by the Committee. However, when so received, the designation or revocation shall be effective
as of the date the designation or revocation is executed (whether or not the Participant still is living), but without prejudice to the Committee on account of any payment made before the change is recorded. The last effective designation received
by the Committee shall supersede all prior designations. 
 9.3 Failed Designations. If a Participant dies without having effectively
designated a beneficiary, or if no beneficiary survives the Participant, the Participant’s account shall be payable to his or her estate.

10.3 Powers of Committee. The Committee shall have all powers and discretion necessary or appropriate to supervise the administration

 (i) To establish, from time

 (j) To adopt such

10.5 Administrative Expenses. All expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan by the Committee, or otherwise, including legal
fees and expenses, shall be paid and borne by the Employers, except any stamp duties or transfer taxes applicable to the purchase of shares may be charged to the account of each Participant. Any brokerage fees for the purchase of shares by a
Participant, fees and taxes (including brokerage fees) for the transfer, sale or resale of shares by a Participant, or the issuance of physical share certificates, shall be borne solely by the Participant. 

10.6 Eligibility to Participate. No member of the Committee who is also an employee of an Employer shall be excluded from participating
in the Plan if otherwise eligible, but he or she shall not be entitled, as a member of the Committee, to act or pass upon any matters pertaining specifically to his or her own account under the Plan. 

10.7 Indemnification. Each of the Employers shall, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless the members of the Committee and the

act or decision with respect to the Plan, so long as such duty, act or decision does not involve gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any such individual.

rights (including a right to acquire the same consideration paid to the stockholders in the transaction) for outstanding options, or (ii) if any surviving or acquiring corporation (or the
surviving or acquiring corporation’s parent company) does not assume or continue such options or does not substitute similar rights for such options, then the Participants’ accumulated contributions will be used to purchase shares of
Common Stock within ten business days prior to the transaction through the exercise of outstanding options on such actual date as determined by the Committee in its discretion, and all such outstanding options will terminate immediately after such
purchase. 
 SECTION 12 

AMENDMENT, TERMINATION, AND DURATION 

12.1 Amendment, Suspension, or Termination. The Board, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan, or any part
thereof, at any time and for any reason. If the Plan is terminated, the Board, in its discretion, may elect to terminate all outstanding options either immediately or upon completion of the purchase of shares on the next Purchase Date, or may elect
to permit options to expire in accordance with their terms (and participation to continue through such expiration dates). If the options are terminated prior to expiration, all amounts then credited to Participants’ accounts which have not been
used to purchase shares shall be returned to the Participants (without interest thereon) as soon as administratively practicable. 
 12.2
Duration. The Plan shall commence on the Effective Date, and subject to Section 12.1 (regarding the Board’s right to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan), shall remain in effect for ten (10) years from the Adoption Date. 

SECTION 13 
 GENERAL
PROVISIONS 
 13.1 Participation by Subsidiaries. One or more Subsidiaries of the Company may become participating Employers by
adopting the Plan and obtaining approval for such adoption from the Board. By adopting the Plan, a Subsidiary shall be deemed to agree to all of its terms, including (but not limited to) the provisions granting exclusive authority (a) to the Board
to amend the Plan, and (b) to the Committee to administer and interpret the Plan. An Employer may terminate its participation in the Plan at any time. The liabilities incurred under the Plan to the Participants employed by each Employer shall be
solely the liabilities of that Employer, and no other Employer shall be liable for benefits accrued by a Participant during any period when he or she was not employed by such Employer. 

13.2 Inalienability. In no event may either a Participant, a former Participant or his or her beneficiary, spouse or estate sell,
transfer, anticipate, assign, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of any right or interest under the Plan; and such rights and interests shall not at any time be subject to the claims of creditors nor be liable to attachment, execution or other legal
process. Accordingly, for example, a Participant’s interest in the Plan is not transferable pursuant to a domestic relations order. 

13.3 Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity
shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included. 

13.4 Requirements of Law. The granting of options and the issuance of shares shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and
regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or securities exchanges as the Committee may determine are necessary or appropriate. 

  
 8 








 13.5 Compliance with Rule 16b-3. Any transactions under this Plan with respect to officers
(as defined in Rule 16a-1 promulgated under the 1934 Act) are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3. To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void,
to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan, if the Committee specifically determines that compliance with Rule 16b-3 no longer is required, all references in the Plan to
Rule 16b-3 shall be null and void. 
 13.6 No Enlargement of Employment Rights. Neither the establishment or maintenance of the Plan,
the granting of options, the purchase of shares, nor any action of any Employer or the Committee, shall be held or construed to confer upon any individual any right to be continued as an employee of the Employer nor, upon dismissal, any right or
interest in any specific assets of the Employers other than as provided in the Plan. Each Employer expressly reserves the right to discharge any employee at any time, with or without cause. 

13.7 Apportionment of Costs and Duties. All acts required of the Employers under the Plan may be performed by the Company for itself
and its Subsidiaries, and the costs of the Plan may be equitably apportioned by the Committee among the Company and the other Employers. Whenever an Employer is permitted or required under the terms of the Plan to do or perform any act, matter or
thing, it shall be done and performed by any officer or employee of the Employers who is thereunto duly authorized by the Employers. 
 13.8
Construction and Applicable Law. The Plan is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423(b) of the Code. Any provision of the Plan which is inconsistent with Section 423(b) of the Code
shall, without further act or amendment by the Company or the Committee, be reformed to comply with the requirements of Section 423(b). The provisions of the Plan shall be construed, administered and enforced in accordance with such Section and with
the laws of the State of Delaware (excluding Delaware’s conflict of laws provisions). 
 13.9 Captions. The captions contained
in and the table of contents prefixed to the Plan are inserted only as a matter of convenience, and in no way define, limit, enlarge or describe the scope or intent of the Plan nor in any way shall affect the construction of any provision of the
Plan.
