 IKANOS COMMUNICATIONS, INC. 

2014 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 
  

	 Tax Treatment 
	This Option is intended to be a nonstatutory option, as provided in the Notice of Stock Option Grant (the “Notice”). 

  

	 Vesting 
	This Option becomes exercisable in installments, as shown in the Notice. This Option will in no event become exercisable for additional Shares after your service as a Director has terminated for any reason. 


 

	 Term 
	This Option expires in any event at the close of business at Company headquarters on the day before the 7th anniversary of the Grant Date, as shown on the Notice. This Option may expire earlier if you cease to be a Service Provider, as described
below. 

  

	 Regular Termination 
	If you cease to be a Service Provider for any reason except death or Disability, then this Option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date three (3) months after the date you cease to be a Service Provider
(or, if earlier, the Expiration Date). The Company determines when you cease to be a Service Provider for this purpose and all purposes under the Plan, and its determinations are conclusive and binding on all persons. 


 

	 Death 
	If you cease to be a Service Provider because of death, then this Option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date 12 months after the date you cease to be a Service Provider (or, if earlier, the Expiration Date).
During that period of up to 12 months, your estate or heirs may exercise the Option. 

  

	 Disability 
	If you cease to be a Service Provider because of your Disability, then this Option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date 12 months after the date you cease to be a Service Provider (or, if earlier, the
Expiration Date). 

  

	 Restrictions on Exercise 
	The Company will not permit you to exercise this Option if the issuance of Shares at that time would violate any law or regulation. The inability of the Company to obtain approval from any regulatory body having authority deemed by the Company
to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of the Company stock pursuant to this Option shall relieve the Company of any liability with respect to the non-issuance or sale of the Company stock as to which such approval shall not have been
obtained. 

  

	 Notice of Exercise  
	When you wish to exercise this Option you must provide a notice of exercise form in accordance with such procedures as are established by the Administrator and communicated to you from time to time. Any notice of exercise must specify how many
Shares you wish to purchase and how your Shares should be registered. The notice of exercise will be effective 


  
 IKANOS
COMMUNICATIONS, INC. 
 NOTICE OF EXERCISE 

- 1 - 









	 	when it is received by the Company. If someone else wants to exercise this Option after your death, that person must prove to the Administrator’s satisfaction that he or she is entitled to do so. 


 

	 Form of Payment  
	When you submit your notice of exercise, you must include payment of the Option exercise price for the Shares you are purchasing. Payment may be made in the following form(s): 


 

	 	•	 	Your personal check, a cashier’s check, or a money order. 

  

	 	•	 	Certificates for Shares that you own, along with any forms needed to effect a transfer of those Shares to the Company. The value of the Shares, determined as of the effective date of the Option exercise, will be applied
to the Option exercise price. Instead of surrendering Shares, you may attest to the ownership of those Shares on a form provided by the Administrator and have the same number of Shares subtracted from the Shares issued to you upon exercise of the
Option. However, you may not surrender or attest to the ownership of Shares in payment of the exercise price if your action would cause the Company to recognize a compensation expense (or additional compensation expense) with respect to this Option
for financial reporting purposes. 

  

	 	•	 	By delivery on a form approved by the Administrator of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker approved by the Company to sell all or part of the Shares that are issued to you when you exercise this Option and
to deliver to the Company from the sale proceeds an amount sufficient to pay the Option exercise price and any Tax-Related Items (as defined below). The balance of the sale proceeds, if any, will be delivered to you. The directions must be given by
providing a notice of exercise form approved by the Administrator. 

  

	 	•	 	If permitted by the Administrator, by a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option shall be reduced by the largest whole number of Shares having an
aggregate Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price (plus Tax-Related Items (as defined below), if applicable) and any remaining balance of the aggregate exercise price (and/or applicable Tax-Related Items (as defined
below)) not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole Shares to be issued shall be paid by you in cash or such other form of payment permitted under this Option. The directions must be given by providing a notice of exercise form approved
by the Administrator. 

  

	 	•	 	Any other form permitted by the Administrator in its sole discretion. 

  

	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment may not be made in any form that is unlawful, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

	 Withholding Taxes and Stock Withholding 
	Regardless of any action the Company or your actual employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to
your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount
actually withheld by the Company or your Employer. You further acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the
Option grant, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation
to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if you are subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between
the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in
more than one jurisdiction. 

  

	 	Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you agree to pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. 


 

	 	In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at the discretion of the Administrator, to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by you by one or a
combination of the following: (a) withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer, (b) withholding Shares that otherwise would be issued to you when you exercise this Option,
(c) withholding taxes from the proceeds of the sale of the Shares, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent), or (d) any
other arrangement approved by the Administrator. The Fair Market Value of these Shares, determined as of the effective date of the Option exercise, will be applied as a credit against the Tax-Related Items. 


 

	 	Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum
applicable rates, in which case you will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Stock equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, you
are deemed to have been

	 	issued the full number of Shares subject to the exercised Options, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items. 


 

	 	Finally, you shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan or your
purchase of Shares that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the Shares if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as
described in this section. 

  

	 Restrictions on Resale 
	You agree not to sell any Shares at a time when applicable laws, Company policies or an agreement between the Company and its underwriters prohibit a sale. This restriction will apply as long as you continue to be a Service Provider and for such
period of time after you cease to be a Service Provider as the Company may specify.

	 Transfer of Option 
	In general, only you can exercise this Option prior to your death. You may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of this Option, other than as designated by you by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, except as
provided below. For instance, you may not use this Option as security for a loan. If you attempt to do any of these things, this Option will immediately become invalid. You may in any event dispose of this Option in your will. Regardless of any
marital property settlement agreement, the Company is not obligated to honor a notice of exercise from your former spouse, nor is the Company obligated to recognize your former spouse’s interest in your Option in any other way.


  

	 	The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, allow you to transfer this Option as a gift to one or more family members. For purposes of this Agreement, “family member” means a child, stepchild, grandchild,
parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law (including adoptive relationships), any individual sharing your household
(other than a tenant or employee), a trust in which one or more of these individuals have more than 50% of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which you or one or more of these persons control the management of assets, and any entity in which
you or one or more of these persons own more than 50% of the voting interest. 

  

	 	In addition, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, allow you to transfer this Option to your spouse or former spouse pursuant to a domestic relations order in settlement of marital property rights.


  

	 	The Administrator will allow you to transfer this Option only if both you and the transferee(s) execute the forms prescribed by the Administrator, which include the consent of the transferee(s) to be bound by this
Agreement. 

  

	 No Retention Rights 
	Neither your Option nor this Agreement gives you the right to be employed or retained by the Company, the Employer, or a Subsidiary of the Company in any capacity. The Company, the Employer, and its Subsidiaries reserve the right to terminate
you as a Service Provider at any time, with or without cause. 

  

	 Shareholder Rights 
	Your Options carry neither voting rights nor rights to dividends. You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights as a shareholder of the Company unless and until you have exercised this Option by giving the required notice to the Company and
paying the exercise price. No adjustments will be made for dividends or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before you exercise this Option, except as described in the Plan. 


 

	 Adjustments 
	The number of Shares covered by this Option and the exercise price per Share shall be subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, a stock dividend, or a similar change in Company Shares, and in other circumstances, as set forth in the
Plan.

and assigns. 

  

	 Notice  
	Any notice required or permitted under this Agreement shall be given in writing (including electronically pursuant to procedures the Administrator may establish) and shall be deemed effectively given upon the earliest of personal delivery,
receipt or the third full day following mailing with postage and fees prepaid, addressed to the other party hereto at the address last known in the Company’s records or at such other address as such party may designate by ten
(10) days’ advance written notice to the other party hereto. 

  

	 Applicable Law  
	This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of California (without regard to their choice-of-law provisions). 

  

	 Venue  
	For purposes of any action, lawsuit or other proceedings brought to enforce this Agreement, relating to it, or arising from it, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction in the courts of Santa Clara County,
California, or the federal courts for the United States for the Northern District of California, and no other courts, where this grant is made and/or to be performed. 


 

	 Nature of Grant 
	In accepting the grant, you acknowledge, understand and agree that: (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time,
to the extent permitted by the Plan; (ii) the grant of an option is voluntary and occasional and does not in any way create any contractual or other right to receive additional grants of options (or benefits in lieu of options) at any time or
in any amount, even if options have been granted in the past; (iii) all determinations with respect to any additional grants, including (without limitation) the times when options will be granted, the number of Shares subject to the options,
the exercise price and the vesting schedule, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (iv) you are voluntarily participating in the Plan; (v) your Option and the Shares subject to the Option are not intended to replace any pension
rights or compensation; (vi) your Option and the Shares subject to the Option, and the income and value of same, are extraordinary items of compensation outside the scope of your employment or service contract, if any, and shall not be
considered a part of your normal or expected compensation for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or
retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments; (vii) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty; (viii) if the underlying Shares do not increase in

	 	value, the Option will have no value; (ix) if you exercise the Option and acquire Shares, the value of such Shares may increase or decrease in value, even below the exercise price; (x) no claim or entitlement
to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of your Option resulting from you ceasing to be a Service Provider (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where
you are a Service Provider or the terms of your employment agreement or service contract, if any), and in consideration of the grant of the Option to which you are otherwise not entitled, you irrevocably agree never to institute any claim
against the Company, the Employer and/or any Parent, Subsidiaries or any “Affiliate” (which, for purposes of this Agreement shall mean any entity other than a Subsidiary, if the Company and/or one or more Subsidiaries own not less than 50%
of such entity), waive your ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and release the Company, the Employer and/or any Parent, Subsidiaries or Affiliates from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of
competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agree to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claim; (xi) for
purposes of the Option, your service relationship will be considered terminated as of the date you are no longer an active Service Provider to the Company and/or its Parent, Subsidiaries or Affiliates (regardless of the reason for such termination
and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are a Service Provider or the terms of your employment agreement or service contract, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement or determined by the Administrator, (a) your right to vest in the Option under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., your period of service would
not include any “garden leave” or similar period mandated under local law); and (b) the period (if any) during which you may exercise the Option after such termination of your relationship as a Service Provider will commence on such
date and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law; (xii) unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Administrator in its discretion, your Option and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any
entitlement to have your Option or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Shares; and (xiii) neither the
Company, the Employer nor any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between your local currency and the U.S. Dollar that may affect the value of your Option or of any amounts due to you
pursuant to the exercise of the Option or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon exercise.

	 No Advice Regarding Grant 
	The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding your participation in the Plan, or your acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. You are hereby advised to consult with
your own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding your participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. 

  

	 Data Privacy  
	You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Option grant materials (“Data”) by and among, as

	 	You understand that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address, telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or
other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all Options or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding
in your favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. 

  

	 	You understand that Data may be transferred to any broker as designated by the Company, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with
the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan. You understand that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data
privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize the Company and
any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose
of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan. You understand that you may, at any
time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human

	 	Further, you understand that you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke your consent, your employment status or relationship as a Service
Provider and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing your consent is that the Company would not be able to grant you Options or other equity awards or administer or maintain
such awards. Therefore, you understand that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that
you may contact your local human resources representative.

	If you have received this Agreement or any other document relating to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.


  

	 Severability 
	The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.


  

	 Waiver 
	You acknowledge that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach of this Agreement. 


 

	 Appendix 
	Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement, the Option grant shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in any appendix to this Agreement for your country (the “Appendix”). Moreover, if you relocate to one of
the countries included in the Appendix, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to you, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative
reasons. The Appendix constitutes part of this Agreement. 

  

	 Imposition of Other Requirements 
	The Administrator reserves the right to impose other requirements on your participation in the Plan, on the Option and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Administrator determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or
administrative reasons, and to require you to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
