the Plan or in any Stock Award Agreement in a manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or expedient to make the Plan fully effective. 

(iii) To settle all controversies regarding the Plan and Stock Awards granted under it. 

(iv) To accelerate the time at which a Stock Award may first be exercised or the time during which a Stock Award or any part thereof will vest

 (c) Delegation to a Committee. 

(i) General. The Board may delegate administration of the Plan to a committee of the Board composed of not fewer than two
(2) members (the “Committee”). If administration is delegated to a Committee, the Committee shall have, in connection with the administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed by the Board (and references in the
Plan to the Administrator shall thereafter be deemed to be references to the Committee), subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board. The Board may abolish
the Committee at any time and revest in the Board the administration of the Plan. Appointment of Committee members shall be effective upon acceptance of appointment. In its sole discretion, the Board may at any time and from time to time exercise
any and all rights and duties of the Administrator under the Plan except with respect to matters which under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act or Section 162(m) of the Code, or any regulations or rules
issued thereunder, are required to be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. Committee members may resign at any time by delivering written notice to the Board. Vacancies in the Committee may only be filled by the Board. 

(ii) Section 162(m) and Rule 16b-3 Compliance. In the discretion of the Board, the
Committee may consist solely of two or more Outside Directors, in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code, and/or solely of two or more Non-Employee Directors, in accordance with Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act. In addition, the Board or the Committee, in its discretion, may (1) delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board who need not be Outside Directors the authority to
grant Stock Awards to eligible persons who are either (a) not then Covered Employees and are not expected to be Covered Employees at the time of recognition of income resulting from such Stock Award, or (b) not persons with respect to whom
the Company wishes to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code, and/or (2) delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board who need not be Non-Employee Directors the authority to grant
Stock Awards to eligible persons who are not then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. 
 (d) Delegation to an
Officer. The board may delegate to one or more Officers of the Company the authority to do one or both of the following: (i) designate Officers and Employees of the Company or any of its Affiliates to be recipients of Stock Awards
and (ii) determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be subject to such Stock Awards granted to such Officers and Employees of the Company; provided, however, that the Board resolutions regarding such delegation shall specify the
total number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to the Stock Awards granted by such Officer and that such Officer may not grant a Stock Award to himself or herself. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(d),
the Board may not delegate to an Officer authority to determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock. 
 (e) Effect of
Change in Status. The Administrator shall have the absolute discretion to determine the effect upon a Stock Award, and upon an individual’s status as an Employee, Consultant or Director under the Plan, including whether a
Participant shall be deemed to have experienced a Termination of Service or other change in status, and upon the vesting, expiration or forfeiture of a Stock Award or Award Shares issuable in respect thereof, in the case of (i) a Termination of
Service for cause, (ii) any leave of absence approved by the Company or an Affiliate, (iii) any transfer between the Company and any Affiliate or between any Affiliates, (iii) 

  
 9 








 
any change in the Participant’s status from an Employee to a Consultant or member of the Administrator of Directors, or vice versa, and (v) any Employee who becomes employed by any
partnership, joint venture, corporation or other entity not meeting the requirements of an Affiliate. 
 (f) Determinations of
the Administrator. All decisions, determinations and interpretations by the Administrator regarding this Plan shall be final and binding on all Participants or other persons claiming rights under the Plan or any Stock Award. The
Administrator shall consider such factors as it deems relevant to making such decisions, determinations and interpretations including, without limitation, the recommendations or advice of any Director, Officer or Employee of the Company and such
attorneys, consultants and accountants as it may select. A Participant or other holder of a Stock Award may contest a decision or action by the Administrator with respect to such person or Stock Award only on the grounds that such decision or action
was arbitrary or capricious or was unlawful, and any review of such decision or action shall be limited to determining whether the Administrator’s decision or action was arbitrary or capricious or was unlawful. 

(g) Arbitration. Any dispute or claim concerning any Stock Awards granted (or not granted) pursuant to the Plan or
any disputes or claims relating to or arising out of the Plan shall be fully, finally and exclusively resolved by binding and confidential arbitration conducted pursuant to the rules of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc.
(“JAMS”) in the County of San Diego, California. In addition to any other relief, the arbitrator may award to the prevailing party recovery of its attorneys’ fees and costs. By accepting a Stock Award, Participants and the
Company waive their respective rights to have any such disputes or claims tried by a judge or jury. 
  

	4.	SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN; OVERALL LIMITATION. 


(a) Shares Subject to the Plan. Subject to the provisions of Section 11 relating to adjustments upon changes
in stock, the Award Shares that may be issued pursuant to Stock Awards shall not exceed in the aggregate One Million Five Hundred Thousand (1,500,000) shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Of such amount, One Million Five Hundred Thousand
(1,500,000) Award Shares may be issued pursuant to Incentive Stock Options. In the event that (a) all or any portion of any Stock Award granted or offered under the Plan can no longer under any circumstances be exercised or otherwise become
vested, or (b) any Award Shares are reacquired by the Company which were initially the subject of a Stock Award Agreement, the Award Shares allocable to the unexercised or unvested portion of such Stock Award, or the Award Shares so reacquired,

	5.	ELIGIBILITY. 

 (a)
General. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees; all other Stock Awards may be granted only to Employees, Directors and Consultants. In the event a Participant is both an Employee and a Director, or a
Participant is both a Director and a Consultant, the Stock Award Agreement shall specify the capacity in which the Participant is granted the Stock Award; provided, however, if the Stock Award Agreement is silent as to such capacity, the
Stock Award shall be deemed to be granted to the Participant as an Employee or as a Consultant, as applicable. 
 (b) Ten
Percent Stockholders. A Ten Percent Stockholder shall not be granted an Incentive Stock Option unless the exercise price of such Option is at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the
date of grant and the Option is not exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date of grant. 
  

	6.	OPTION AGREEMENT PROVISIONS. 


Each Option shall be granted pursuant to a written Option Agreement, signed by an Officer of the Company and by the Optionee, which shall be in
such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall deem appropriate. The provisions of separate Option Agreements need not be identical, but each Option Agreement shall include (through incorporation of the provisions
hereof by reference in the Option Agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions (except to the extent that any such provision indicates it is permissible rather than mandatory): 

(a) Term. No Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date
of its grant or such shorter period specified in the Option Agreement; provided, however, that an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5(b). 

(b) Exercise Price of an Option. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(b) regarding Incentive Stock Options
granted to Ten Percent Stockholders, the exercise price of each Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted. The Administrator shall determine the
exercise price of each Nonstatutory Stock Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Incentive Stock Option may be granted with an exercise price lower than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option
if such Incentive Stock Option is granted pursuant to an assumption of or substitution for another option in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code. 

(c) Consideration. The purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be
paid, to the extent permitted by applicable law and as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, by any combination of the methods of payment set forth below. The Administrator shall have the authority to grant Options that do not
permit all of the following methods of payment (or otherwise restrict the ability to use certain methods) and to grant Options that require the consent of the Company to utilize a particular method of payment. The methods of payment permitted by
this Section 6(c) are: 

  
 11 








 (i) by cash or check; 

(ii) pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Administrator that, prior to the issuance of
Common Stock, results in either the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company or the receipt of irrevocable instructions to pay the aggregate exercise price to the Company from the sales proceeds; 

(iii) by delivery to the Company (either by actual delivery or attestation) of shares of Common Stock; 

(iv) by a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon
exercise by the largest whole number of shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price; provided, however, that the Company shall accept a cash or other payment from the Participant to the extent of any
remaining balance of the aggregate exercise price not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole shares to be issued; provided, further, however, that shares of Common Stock will no longer be outstanding under an Option and
will not be exercisable thereafter to the extent that (A) shares are used to pay the exercise price pursuant to the “net exercise,” (B) shares are delivered to the Participant as a result of such exercise, and (C) shares are
withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations; or 
 (v) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the
Administrator. 
 (d) Transferability. The following restrictions on the transferability of Options shall apply: 

(i) Restrictions on Transfer. An Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee; provided, however, that the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, permit transfer of the Option to a revocable trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
however, an Incentive Stock Option shall not be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable only by the Optionee during the Optionee’s lifetime, except as otherwise permitted by the
Administrator and by Sections 421, 422 and 424 of the Code and the regulations and other guidance thereunder. 
 (ii) Domestic
Relations Orders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may be transferred pursuant to a domestic relations order; provided, however, that if an Option is an Incentive Stock Option, such Option shall be deemed to be a
Nonstatutory Stock Option as a result of such transfer. 
 (iii) Beneficiary Designation. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Optionee may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form provided by or otherwise satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionee, shall thereafter be the beneficiary of
an Option with the right to exercise the Option and receive the Common Stock or other consideration resulting from an Option exercise. In the absence of such a designation, the executor or administrator of the Optionee’s estate shall be


  
 12 








 
entitled to exercise the Option and receive the Common Stock or other consideration resulting from an Option exercise. 

(e) Vesting. Each Option shall vest and become exercisable in one or more installments, at such time or times and subject
to such conditions, including without limitation the achievement of specified performance goals or objectives established with respect to one or more performance criteria, as shall be determined by the Administrator. 

(f) Termination of Service. In the event of the Termination of Service of an Optionee for any reason (other than for
“Cause,” as defined in an Option Agreement, or upon the Optionee’s death or Disability), the Optionee may exercise his or her Option, but only within such period of time as is set forth in the Option Agreement (and in no event later
than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, such exercise period provided in the Option Agreement shall not exceed three (3) months from the date of
termination. 
 (g) Disability of Optionee. In the event of a Termination of Service of an Optionee as a
result of the Optionee’s Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option within the period specified in the Option Agreement (in no event to exceed twelve (12) months from the date of such termination in the case of an Incentive
Stock Option), and only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). 

(h) Death of Optionee. In the event that (i) an Optionee’s Termination of Service occurs as a
result of the Optionee’s death, or (ii) an Optionee dies within the period (if any) specified in the Option Agreement after the Optionee’s Termination of Service for a reason other than death, then, notwithstanding Section 6(f)
above, the Option may be exercised (to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of death) by the Optionee’s estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or by a
person designated to exercise the option upon the Optionee’s death, but only within the period ending on the earlier of (i) the date that is twelve (12) months after the date of Termination of Service, or (ii) the expiration of
the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. 
 (i) Termination for Cause. In the
event of the Termination of Service of an Optionee for Cause, except as otherwise determined by the Administrator in the specific situation, all Options granted to such Optionee shall expire as set forth in the Option Agreement. 

(j) Extension of Termination Date. An Optionee’s Option Agreement may provide that if the exercise of the Option
following an Optionee’s Termination of Service (other than for Cause or upon the Optionee’s death or Disability) would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of shares of Common Stock would violate the registration
requirements under the Securities Act, then the Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of a period of three (3) months after the termination of the Optionee’s Continuous Service during which the exercise of the
Option would not be in violation of such registration requirements, or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. 

  
 13 








 (k) Non-Exempt Employees. Unless
otherwise determined by the Administrator of Directors, no Option granted to an Employee that is a non-exempt employee for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, shall be first
exercisable for any shares of Common Stock until at least six months following the date of grant of the Option. The foregoing provision is intended to operate so that any income derived by a non-exempt
employee in connection with the exercise or vesting of an Option will be exempt from his or her regular rate of pay. 
 (l)
Early Exercise. The Option may, but need not, include a provision whereby the Optionee may elect at any time prior to a Termination of Service to exercise the Option as to any part or all of the Option Shares prior to the full vesting
of the Option. Any unvested Option Shares so purchased may be subject to an unvested share repurchase option in favor of the Company or to any other restriction the Administrator determines to be appropriate. 

 

	7.	PROVISIONS OF STOCK AWARDS OTHER THAN OPTIONS. 


(a) Stock Bonus Awards. Stock Bonus awards shall be made pursuant to Stock Bonus Agreements in such form and
containing such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of Stock Bonus Agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate Stock Bonus Agreements need not be identical,
but each Stock Bonus Agreement shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions (except to the extent that any such provision indicates it is
permissible rather than mandatory): 
 (i) Consideration. A Stock Bonus may be awarded in consideration for past
services actually rendered to the Company or an Affiliate for its benefit, provided that the Participant remains eligible to receive Stock Awards hereunder at the time of the award. 

(ii) Vesting. Award Shares issued pursuant to a Stock Bonus Agreement may, but need not, be subject to a share repurchase
option in favor of the Company in accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Administrator. 
 (iii) Termination of
Service. In the event of a Termination of Service, the Company may reacquire any or all of the Award Shares held by the Participant which have or have not vested as of the date of termination under the terms of the Stock Bonus
Agreement. 
 (iv) Transferability. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, rights to acquire Award Shares
under the Stock Bonus Agreement shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or, to the extent permitted by the Administrator, to a revocable trust. 

(b) Restricted Stock Awards. Each Restricted Stock award shall be made pursuant to a Restricted
Stock Award Agreement in such form and containing such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Award Agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of
separate Restricted Stock Award Agreements need not be identical, but each Restricted Stock Award Agreement shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the 

  
 14 








 
agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions (except to the extent that any such provision indicates it is permissible rather than mandatory): 

(i) Purchase Price. The purchase price under each Restricted Stock Award Agreement shall be such amount as the
Administrator shall determine and designate in such Restricted Stock Award Agreement, including no consideration or such minimum consideration as may be required by applicable law. 

(ii) Consideration. The purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Restricted Stock Award Agreement, if any,
shall be paid either: (a) in cash at the time of purchase; (b) at the discretion of the Administrator, according to a deferred payment or other similar arrangement with the Participant; or (c) in any other form of legal consideration
that may be acceptable to the Administrator in its discretion. 
 (iii) Vesting. Award Shares acquired under the
Restricted Stock Award Agreement may, but need not, be subject to a share repurchase option in favor of the Company in accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Administrator. 

(iv) Termination of Service. In the event of a Participant’s Termination of Service, the Company may repurchase or
otherwise reacquire any or all of the Award Shares held by the Participant which have or have not vested as of the date of termination under the terms of the Restricted Stock Award Agreement. 

(v) Transferability. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, rights to acquire Award Shares under the
Restricted Stock Award Agreement shall not be transferable except by will, by the laws of descent and distribution, or, to the extent permitted by the Administrator, to a revocable trust. 

(c) Restricted Stock Units. The Administrator is authorized to make Awards of Restricted Stock Units to any
Participant selected by the Administrator in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator. At the time of grant, the Administrator shall specify the date or dates on which the Restricted Stock Units shall
become fully vested and nonforfeitable, and may specify such conditions to vesting as it deems appropriate. Alternatively, Restricted Stock Units may become fully vested and nonforfeitable pursuant to the satisfaction of one or more Performance
Goals or other specific performance goals as the Administrator determines to be appropriate at the time of the grant of the Restricted Stock Units or thereafter, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by
the Administrator. At the time of grant, the Administrator shall specify the maturity date applicable to each grant of Restricted Stock Units which shall be no earlier than the vesting date or dates of the Award and may be determined at the election
of the Participant to whom the Award is granted. On the maturity date, the Company shall transfer to the Participant one unrestricted, fully transferable share of Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit that is vested and scheduled to be distributed on
such date and not previously forfeited. The Administrator shall specify the purchase price, if any, to be paid by the Participant to the Company for such shares of Stock. All Restricted Stock Unit awards shall be subject to such additional terms and
conditions as determined by the Administrator and shall be evidenced by a written Stock Award Agreement. 

  
 15 









	8.	PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS. 


(a) Purpose. The purpose of this Article 8 is to provide the Administrator the ability to qualify Stock Awards
other than Options as Qualified Performance-Based Compensation. If the Administrator, in its discretion, decides to grant a Performance-Based Award to a Covered Employee, the provisions of this Article 8 shall control over any contrary provision
contained in Article 7; provided, however, that the Administrator may in its discretion grant Stock Awards to Covered Employees that are based on Performance Criteria or Performance Goals but that do not satisfy the requirements of this
Article 8. 
 (b) Applicability. This Article 8 shall apply only to those Covered Employees selected by the
Administrator to receive Performance-Based Awards. The designation of a Covered Employee as a Participant for a Performance Period shall not in any manner entitle the Participant to receive an Award for the period. Moreover, designation of a Covered
Employee as a Participant for a particular Performance Period shall not require designation of such Covered Employee as a Participant in any subsequent Performance Period and designation of one Covered Employee as a Participant shall not require
designation of any other Covered Employees as a Participant in such period or in any other period. 
 (c) Procedures with
Respect to Performance-Based Awards. To the extent necessary to comply with the Qualified Performance-Based Compensation requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, with respect to any Award granted under Article 7 which
may be granted to one or more Covered Employees, no later than ninety (90) days following the commencement of any fiscal year in question or any other designated fiscal period or period of service (or such other time as may be required or
permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code), the Administrator shall, in writing, (a) designate one or more Covered Employees, (b) select the Performance Criteria applicable to the Performance Period, (c) establish the Performance
Goals, and amounts of such Awards, as applicable, which may be earned for such Performance Period, and (d) specify the relationship between Performance Criteria and the Performance Goals and the amounts of such Awards, as applicable, to be
earned by each Covered Employee for such Performance Period. Following the completion of each Performance Period, the Administrator shall certify in writing whether the applicable Performance Goals have been achieved for such Performance Period. In
determining the amount earned by a Covered Employee, the Administrator shall have the right to reduce or eliminate (but not to increase) the amount payable at a given level of performance to take into account additional factors that the
Administrator may deem relevant to the assessment of individual or corporate performance for the Performance Period. 
 (d)
Payment of Performance-Based Awards. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Stock Award Agreement, a Participant must be employed by the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary on the day a Performance-Based Award for such
Performance Period is paid to the Participant. Furthermore, a Participant shall be eligible to receive payment pursuant to a Performance-Based Award for a Performance Period only if the Performance Goals for such period are achieved. 

(e) Additional Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, any Award which is granted to a
Covered Employee and is intended to constitute Qualified 

  
 16 








 
Performance-Based Compensation shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code (including any amendment to Section 162(m) of the Code) or any
regulations or rulings issued thereunder that are requirements for qualification as qualified performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, and the Plan shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to
conform to such requirements. 
  

	9.	COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. 


(a) Availability of Shares. During the terms of the Stock Awards, the Company shall keep available at all times the
number of shares of Common Stock required to satisfy such Stock Awards. 
 (b) Compliance with Laws and Regulations.
This Plan, the grant and exercise of Stock Awards thereunder, and the obligation of the Company to sell, issue or deliver Award Shares under such Stock Awards, shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations
and to such approvals by any governmental or regulatory agency as may be required. The Company shall not be required to register in a Participant’s name or deliver any Award Shares prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of
such Shares under any federal, state or local law or any ruling or regulation of any government body which the Administrator shall determine to be necessary or advisable. To the extent the Company is unable to or the Administrator deems it
infeasible to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary or advisable for the lawful issuance and sale of any Award Shares hereunder, the Company shall be
relieved of any liability with respect to the failure to issue or sell such Award Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. No Option shall be exercisable and no Award Shares shall be issued and/or transferable under
any other Stock Award unless a registration statement with respect to the Award Shares underlying such Stock Award is effective and current or the Company has determined that such registration is unnecessary. 

 

	10.	USE OF PROCEEDS. 


Proceeds from the sale of Award Shares shall constitute general funds of the Company and shall be used for general operating capital of the
Company. 
  

	11.	ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGE IN COMMON STOCK. 


If any change is made in the Common Stock subject to the Plan or subject to any Stock Award without the receipt of consideration by the Company
(through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, reverse stock split, liquidating dividend, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or
other distribution of the Company’s equity securities), the Plan and all outstanding Stock Awards will be appropriately adjusted in the class and maximum number of shares subject to the Plan and the class and number of shares and price per
share of Common Stock subject to outstanding Stock Awards. Such adjustment shall be made by the Administrator, the determination of which shall be final, binding and conclusive. 

 

	12.	ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGE IN CONTROL. 


  
 17 








 (a) The Administrator shall have the discretion to provide in each Stock Award Agreement
the terms and conditions that relate to (i) vesting of such Stock Award in the event of a Change in Control, and (ii) assumption of such Stock Award Agreements or issuance of comparable securities under an incentive program in the event of
a Change in Control. The aforementioned terms and conditions may vary in each Stock Award Agreement. 
 (b) If the terms of an
outstanding Option Agreement provide for accelerated vesting in the event of a Change in Control, or to the extent that an Option is vested and not yet exercised, the Administrator in its discretion may provide, in connection with the Change in
Control transaction, for the purchase or exchange of each Option for an amount of cash or other property having a value equal to the difference (or “spread”) between: (x) the value of the cash or other property that the Optionee would
have received pursuant to the Change in Control transaction in exchange for the vested Option Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option had the Option been exercised immediately prior to the Change in Control, and (y) the aggregate exercise
price of the vested Option Shares. If in such case the aggregate exercise price of the vested Option Shares is greater than or equal to the value of the cash or other property that the Optionee would have received pursuant to the Change in Control
transaction in exchange for the vested Option Shares had the Option been exercised immediately prior to the Change in Control, then the Option shall be cancelled and Optionee shall receive no payment for such Option Shares. Upon such purchase,
exchange or cancellation, the Option shall be terminated and Optionee shall have no further rights with respect to such Option. 

(c) Outstanding Options shall terminate and cease to be exercisable upon consummation of a Change in Control except to the extent that
the Options are assumed by the successor entity (or parent thereof) pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction. 
 13.
ACCELERATION OF EXERCISABILITY AND VESTING. 

The Administrator shall have the power to accelerate the time at which any or all Stock Awards may first be exercised or the time during which
any or all Stock Awards or any part thereof will vest in accordance with the Plan, notwithstanding the provisions in any Stock Award stating the time at which it may first be exercised or the time during which it will vest. By approval of the Plan,
the Company’s stockholders consent to any such accelerations in the Administrator’s sole discretion. 
  

	14.	DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION. 


In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, then all outstanding Stock Awards shall terminate immediately prior to such event.

  

	15.	MISCELLANEOUS. 

 (a)
Stockholder Rights. Neither a Participant nor any person to whom a Stock Award is transferred shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any Award Shares unless and until such
person has satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Stock Award pursuant to its terms and the Company has duly issued a stock certificate for such Award Shares. 

  
 18 








 (b) No Employment or Other Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan or any
Stock Award Agreement shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Stock Award was granted or shall affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to
terminate (i) the employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without Cause; (ii) the service of a Consultant pursuant to the terms of such Consultant’s agreement with the Company or an Affiliate; or (iii) the
service of a Director pursuant to the Bylaws or Certificate of Incorporation of the Company or an Affiliate, and any applicable provisions of the corporate law of the state in which the Company or the Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may be.

 (c) Incentive Stock Option $100,000 Limitation. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value
(determined at the time of grant) of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Optionee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Affiliates) exceeds One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000), the Options or portions thereof that exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the applicable Option
Agreement(s). 
 (d) Withholding Obligations. The Company may, in its sole discretion, satisfy any federal,
state or local tax withholding obligation relating to a Stock Award by any of the following means (in addition to the Company’s right to withhold from any compensation paid to the Participant by the Company) or by a combination of such means:
(i) causing the Participant to tender a cash payment; (ii) withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock issued or otherwise issuable to the Participant in connection with the Stock Award, provided that no shares of
Common Stock are withheld with a value exceeding the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law (or such lower amount as may be necessary to avoid classification of the Stock Award as a liability); or (iii) by such other method as may
be set forth in the Stock Award Agreement. 
 (e) Compliance with Section 409A of the
Code. To the extent applicable, the Plan and Stock Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder,
including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued or amended after the Effective Date (as defined in Section 18 below). Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or Stock Award to the contrary, in the event
that following the Effective Date the Administrator determines that any Stock Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after
the Effective Date), the Administrator may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Stock Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other
actions, that the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to (i) exempt the Stock Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Stock Award; or
(ii) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued
or amended after the Effective Date. 

  
 19 









	16.	AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN. 


(a) In General. The Administrator at any time, and from time to time, may amend the Plan. However, no amendment shall be
effective unless approved by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or after the adoption of the amendment where the amendment will: 

(i) Increase the number of shares reserved for Stock Awards under the Plan, except as provided in Section 11 relating to adjustments upon
changes in Common Stock; 
 (ii) Modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan (to the extent such modification
requires stockholder approval in order for the Plan to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code); or 
 (iii) Modify the
Plan in any other way if such modification requires stockholder approval in order for the Plan to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. 

(b) Amendment to Maximize Benefits. It is expressly contemplated that the Administrator may amend the Plan in any
respect the Administrator deems necessary or advisable to provide Participants with the maximum benefits provided or to be provided under the provisions of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder relating to Incentive Stock Options
and/or to bring the Plan and/or Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan into compliance therewith. 
 (c) No
Impairment. The rights and obligations under any Stock Award granted before any amendment of the Plan shall not be altered or impaired by such amendment unless the Company requests the consent of the person to whom the Stock Award was
granted and such person consents in writing; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 16 or elsewhere in this Plan, no such consent shall be required with respect to any amendment or
alteration if the Administrator determines in its sole discretion that such amendment or alteration either (i) is required or advisable in order for the Company, the Plan or the Stock Award to satisfy or conform to any law or regulation or to
meet the requirements of any accounting standard, or (ii) is not reasonably likely to significantly diminish the benefits provided under such Award, or that any such diminishment has been adequately compensated. 

17. TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE
PLAN. 
 (a) Termination or Suspension. The Board may suspend or terminate the
Plan at any time. Unless sooner terminated, the Plan shall terminate on October 9, 2027 (which shall be within ten (10) years from the date the Plan is adopted by the Board or approved by the stockholders of the Company, whichever is
earlier), and no Stock Awards may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated, but Stock Awards and Stock Award Agreements then outstanding shall continue in effect in accordance with their respective terms. 

(b) No Impairment. Rights and obligations under any Stock Award granted while the Plan is in effect shall not be altered
or impaired by suspension or termination of the Plan, except as otherwise provided herein or with the consent of the person to whom the Stock Award was granted. 

  
 20 









	18.	EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN. 


The Plan became effective on October 10, 2017, which is the date that the Plan was originally adopted by the Board (the “Effective
Date”). 
  

	19.	NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF THE PLAN


 Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board nor the submission of this Plan to the stockholders of the Company for
approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as either may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of stock options or restricted stock otherwise
than under this Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. 
  

	20.	LIABILITY OF THE COMPANY. 


The Company and the members of the Board shall not be liable to a Participant or any other persons as to: (a) the non-issuance or non-transfer, or any delay of issuance or transfer, of any Award Shares which results from the inability of the Company to comply with, or to obtain, or from
any delay in obtaining from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, all requisite authority to issue or transfer Award Shares if counsel for the Company deems such authority reasonably necessary for lawful issuance or transfer of any such shares
and, in furtherance thereof, appropriate legends may be placed on the stock certificates evidencing Award Shares to reflect such transfer restrictions; and (b) any tax consequence expected, but not realized, by any Participant or other person
due to the receipt, exercise or settlement of any Option or other Stock Award granted hereunder. 
  

	21.	CHOICE OF LAW. 


The laws of the State of Delaware shall govern all questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Plan, without
regard to such state’s conflict of laws rules.

 ATTACHMENT I 

OPTION AGREEMENT 







 STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 

(INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION OR NONSTATUTORY STOCK
OPTION) 
 ONE STOP SYSTEMS, INC. 2017
EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN 
 Effective as of October 10, 2017 

Pursuant to the Stock Option Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) and this Option Agreement (“Option Agreement”),
One Stop Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) has granted to Optionee an option under its 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), to purchase the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock
indicated in Optionee’s Grant Notice, at the exercise price indicated in such Grant Notice. This Option Agreement is incorporated by reference into and made a part of the Grant Notice. Whenever capitalized terms are used in this Option
Agreement, they shall have the meaning specified (i) in the Plan, (ii) in the relevant Grant Notice, or (iii) below, unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary. 

The details of the Option granted to Optionee are as follows: 

1. Term of Option. Subject to the maximum time limitations in Sections 5(b) and 6(a) of the Plan, the term of the
Option shall be the period commencing on the Date of Grant and ending on the Expiration Date (as defined in the Grant Notice), unless terminated earlier as provided herein or in the Plan. 

2. Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of the Option granted hereby shall be as provided in the Grant Notice. 

3. Exercise of Option. 

(a) The Grant Notice sets forth the rate at which the Option Shares shall become subject to purchase (“vest”) by Optionee.

 (b) In the event of a Change in Control of the Company, except as otherwise may be provided in the Plan or Grant Notice, the vesting of
the Option shall not accelerate, and the Option shall terminate if not exercised (to the extent then vested and exercisable) at or prior to such Change in Control. 

(c) Optionee shall exercise the Option, to the extent exercisable, in whole or in part, by sending written notice to the Company on a Notice
of Exercise in the form attached to the Grant Notice of his or her intention to purchase Option Shares hereunder, together with a check in the amount of the full purchase price of the Option Shares to be purchased, or such other form of payment as
permitted by the Grant Notice. Except as otherwise consented to by the Company, Optionee shall not exercise the Option at any one time with respect to less than five percent (5%) of the total Option Shares set forth in the Grant Notice unless
Optionee exercises all of the Option then vested and exercisable. 







 (d) If the Option is an Incentive Stock Option, by Optionee’s exercise of the Option,
Optionee agrees that he or she will notify the Company in writing within fifteen (15) days after the date of any disposition of any of the shares of the Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Option that occurs within two (2) years after
the date of the Date of Grant or within one (1) year after such shares of Common Stock are transferred upon exercise of the Option. 

(e) Optionee agrees to complete and execute any additional documents which the Company reasonably requests that Optionee complete in order to
comply with applicable federal, state and local securities laws, rules and regulations. 
 (f) Subject to the Company’s compliance with
all applicable laws, rules and regulations relating to the issuance of such Option Shares and Optionee’s compliance with all the terms and conditions of the Grant Notice, this Option Agreement, and the Plan, the Company shall promptly deliver
the Option Shares to Optionee. 
 (g) Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Plan, the Option may be exercised during the lifetime of
Optionee only by Optionee. 
 (h) In the event that Optionee is an Employee eligible for overtime compensation under the Fair Labor
Standards Act of 1938, as amended (i.e., a “Non-Exempt Employee”), Optionee may not exercise his or her Option until the later of (i) the date that he or she shall have completed
at least six (6) months of service to the Company measured from the Date of Grant specified in Optionee’s Grant Notice, or (ii) the date set forth in the Grant Notice for when the Option is first exercisable. 

4. Exercise Prior to Vesting (“Early Exercise”). If expressly permitted by the Grant Notice and subject
to the provisions of this Option Agreement, Optionee may, at any time that is both (i) prior to a Termination of Service; and (ii) prior to the Expiration Date, elect to exercise all or part of the Option, including the nonvested portion
of the Option; provided, however, that: 
 (a) a partial exercise of the Option shall be deemed to cover first any vested Option
Shares and then the earliest vesting installment(s) of unvested Option Shares; 
 (b) any Option Shares so purchased from installments which
have not vested as of the date of exercise shall be subject to a purchase option in favor of the Company, pursuant to an Early Exercise Stock Purchase Agreement in form satisfactory to the Company; 

(c) Optionee shall enter into the Early Exercise Stock Purchase Agreement with a vesting schedule that will result in the same vesting as if
no early exercise had occurred; and 
 (d) as provided in the Plan, if the Option is an Incentive Stock Option, to the extent that the
aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time of grant) of Common Stock with respect to which the Option plus all other Incentive Stock Options held by Optionee are exercisable for the first time during any calendar year (under all plans of
the Company and its Affiliates) exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), the Options or portions thereof 

  
 2 








 
that exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. 

5. Option Not Transferable. The Option granted hereunder shall not be transferable in any manner other than as
provided in Section 6(d) of the Plan. More particularly (but without limiting the foregoing), the Option may not be assigned, transferred (except as expressly provided in the Plan), pledged or hypothecated in any way, shall not be assignable by
operation of law and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Option contrary to the provisions hereof, or the levy of any execution,
attachment or similar process upon the Option, shall be null and void and without effect. 
 6. Termination of Option. 

(a) To the extent not previously exercised, the Option shall terminate on the Expiration Date; provided, however, that except as
otherwise provided in this Section 6, the Option may not be exercised more than sixty (60) days after the Termination of Service of Optionee for any reason (other than for Cause, as defined below, or upon Optionee’s
death or Disability). Within such sixty (60)-day period, except as may otherwise be specifically provided in this Option Agreement or any other agreement between Optionee and the Company which has been approved by the Board, Optionee may
exercise the Option only to the extent the same was exercisable on the date of such termination and said right to exercise shall terminate at the end of such period. 

(b) In the event of the Termination of Service of Optionee as a result of Optionee’s Disability, the Option shall be exercisable for a
period of six (6) months from the date of such termination, but in no event later than the Expiration Date and only to the extent that the Option was exercisable on the date of such termination. 

(c) In the event of the Termination of Service of Optionee as a result of Optionee’s death, the Option shall be exercisable by
Optionee’s estate (or by the person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by will or by the laws of descent and distribution) for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of such termination, but in no event later than the
Expiration Date and only to the extent that Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option on the date of death. 
 (d) In the event of the
Termination of Service of Optionee for Cause (as defined below), unless otherwise determined by the Board, (A) the Option shall expire as of the date of the first occurrence giving rise to such termination or upon the Expiration Date, whichever
is earlier; (B) Optionee shall have no rights with respect to any unexercised portion of the Option; and (C) any Option Shares issued in respect of the exercise of the Option on or after the date of the first act and/or event constituting
Cause shall have occurred shall be deemed to have been issued in respect of an expired option, and shall thereupon be deemed null and void ab initio, and Optionee shall have no claims to, or rights in, any such Option Shares.
“Cause” means with respect to Optionee, the occurrence of any of the following events, as reasonably determined by the Board in each case: (i) Optionee’s commission of any felony or any crime


  
 3 








 
involving fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude under the laws of the United States or any state thereof; (ii) Optionee’s commission, or attempted commission, of, or participation in, a
fraud or act of dishonesty against the Company or any Affiliate, or any of their respective employees, officers or directors; (iii) Optionee’s intentional, material violation of any contract or agreement between the Optionee and the
Company or any Affiliate or of any statutory duty owed to the Company or any Affiliate; (iv) Optionee’s unauthorized use or disclosure of the Company’s or an Affiliate’s material confidential information or trade secrets;
(v) Optionee’s gross misconduct in connection with Optionee’s service to the Company or an Affiliate; or (vi) Optionee’s failure to promptly return all documents and other tangible items belonging to the Company or its
Affiliates in the Participant’s possession or control, including all complete or partial copies, recordings, abstracts, notes or reproductions of any kind made from or about such documents or information contained therein, upon a Termination of
Service for any reason. “Cause” shall not require that a civil judgment or criminal conviction have been entered against, or guilty plea shall have been made by, Optionee regarding any of the matters referred to in clauses (i) through
(vi). Accordingly, the Board shall be entitled to determine “Cause” based on the its good faith belief. If the Optionee is criminally charged with a felony or similar offense, that shall be a sufficient, but not a necessary, basis for such
a belief. Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Grant Notice, the foregoing definition of “Cause” shall apply for all purposes relating to the Option, notwithstanding any employment or other agreement by and between Optionee and
the Company or any Affiliate thereof that defines a termination on account of “Cause” (or a term having similar meaning). 
 (e)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Option is subject to earlier termination upon a Change in Control, as provided in Section 3(b) above and in Section 11 of the Plan, or upon the dissolution of the Company. If the Option will terminate in
connection with a Change in Control, the Company shall provide written notice to Optionee of a proposed transaction constituting a Change in Control, not less than ten (10) days prior to the anticipated effective date of the proposed
transaction. 
 (f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no portion of any Option which is not exercisable by Optionee upon the
Termination of Service of such Optionee shall thereafter become exercisable, regardless of the reason for such termination, except as may otherwise be specifically provided in this Option Agreement or any other agreement between Optionee and the
Company which has been approved by the Board. 
 7. No Right to Continued Service. The Option does not confer
upon Optionee any right to continue as an Employee or Director of, or Consultant to, the Company or an Affiliate, nor does it limit in any way the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate Optionee’s employment or other relationship
with the Company or an Affiliate, at any time, with or without Cause. 
 8. Notice of Tax Election. If Optionee
makes any tax election relating to the treatment of the Option Shares under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Optionee shall promptly notify the Company of such election. 

9. Acknowledgments of Optionee. Optionee acknowledges and agrees that: 

  
 4 








 (a) Although the Company has made a good faith attempt to qualify the Option as an incentive
stock option within the meaning of Sections 421, 422 and 424 of the Code (if the Grant Notice provides that the Option is an Incentive Stock Option), the Company does not warrant that the Option granted herein constitutes an “incentive stock
option” within the meaning of such sections, or that the transfer of Option Shares will be treated for federal income tax purposes as specified in Section 421 of the Code. 

(b) Optionee shall notify the Company in writing within fifteen (15) days of each disposition (including a sale, exchange, gift or a
transfer of legal title) of the Option Shares made within two years after the issuance of such Option Shares. 
 (c) If the Grant Notice
provides that the Option is an Incentive Stock Option, Optionee understands that if, among other things, he or she disposes of any Option Shares granted within two years of the granting of the Option to him or her or within one year of the issuance
of such shares to him or her, then such Option Shares will not qualify for the beneficial treatment which Optionee might otherwise receive under Sections 421 and 422 of the Code. 

(d) Optionee and his or her transferees shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any Option Shares until the date of the issuance
of a stock certificate evidencing such Option Shares. No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the
date such stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 10 of the Plan. 
 (e) Certificates representing Option Shares
acquired pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options shall be imprinted with the following legend: 
 THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE WERE ISSUED BY THE CORPORATION TO THE REGISTERED HOLDER UPON EXERCISE OF AN INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 422 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (“ISO”). IN ORDER TO OBTAIN THE PREFERENTIAL TAX
TREATMENT AFFORDED TO ISOs, THE SHARES SHOULD NOT BE TRANSFERRED PRIOR TO THE LATER OF (A) TWO YEARS AFTER THE DATE OF GRANT OF SUCH ISO, OR (B) ONE YEAR AFTER THE DATE OF EXERCISE OF SUCH ISO. SHOULD THE REGISTERED HOLDER ELECT TO
TRANSFER ANY OF THE SHARES PRIOR TO SUCH DATE AND FOREGO ISO TAX TREATMENT, THE TRANSFER AGENT FOR THE SHARES SHALL NOTIFY THE CORPORATION IMMEDIATELY. THE REGISTERED HOLDER SHALL HOLD ALL SHARES PURCHASED UNDER THE INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION IN THE
REGISTERED HOLDER’S NAME (AND NOT IN THE NAME OF ANY NOMINEE) PRIOR TO THIS DATE OR UNTIL TRANSFERRED AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. 

  
 5 








 10. Withholding Obligations. Whenever Option Shares are to be issued
under the Option Agreement, the Company shall have the right to require Optionee to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior to issuance and/or delivery of any certificate or
certificates for such Option Shares. 
 11. No Obligation to Notify. The Company shall have no duty or obligation to
Optionee to advise Optionee as to the time or manner of exercising the Option. Furthermore, except as specifically set forth herein or in the Plan, the Company shall have no duty or obligation to warn or otherwise advise Optionee of a pending
termination or expiration of the Option or a possible period in which the Option may not be exercised. The Company has no duty or obligation to minimize the tax consequences of the Option granted to Optionee. 

12. Miscellaneous. 

(a) This Option Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties’ heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted
assigns. 
 (b) This Option Agreement, the Grant Notice and the Plan, constitute the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the
subject matter contained herein and they supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations and understandings of the parties. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Option Agreement shall be binding unless executed in
writing by all of the parties. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Option Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions, whether or not similar, nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver. No waiver
shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party making the waiver. In the event there exists any conflict or discrepancy between any of the terms in the Plan and this Option Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall be controlling. A copy of
the Plan has been delivered to Optionee and also may be inspected by Optionee at the principal office of the Company. 
 (c) Should any
portion of the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Option Agreement be declared invalid and unenforceable, then such portion shall be deemed to be severable from this Option Agreement and shall not affect the remainder hereof. 

(d) All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (i) upon personal delivery to
the party to be notified; (ii) three (3) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (iii) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying
next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the Company at its principal executive office, and to Optionee at the address set forth in the Company’s records, or at such other address as the
Company or Optionee may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice to the other party hereto. 
 (e) This Option Agreement shall
be construed according to the laws of the State of Delaware.

 ONE STOP SYSTEMS, INC. 

STOCK OPTION GRANT NOTICE 

2017 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN 

FOR GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, One Stop Systems, Inc. (the “Company”), hereby grants to the Optionee named below, a stock
option (the “Option”) to purchase any part or all of the specified number of shares of its Common Stock (“Option Shares”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Stock Option
Grant Notice (the “Grant Notice”), at the specified purchase price per share without commission or other charge. The Option is granted pursuant to the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the
“Plan”) and the Stock Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”), promulgated under the Plan and in effect as of the date of this Grant Notice. 

 

			
	Optionee:	  	  

	Date of Grant:	  	  

	Vesting Commencement Date:	  	  

	Number of Option Shares :	  	  

	Exercise Price (Per Share):	  	  

	Total Exercise Price:	  	  

	Expiration Date:	  	 Ten years after Date of Grant


 1. Type of
Grant:                     ☐ Incentive Stock Option1
            ☐ Nonstatutory Stock Option 
 2. Exercise Schedule:
              ☐ Same as Vesting Schedule         ☐ Early Exercise Permitted 

3. Vesting Schedule: Except as otherwise provided in the Option Agreement, the number of Option Shares that are vested (disregarding any
resulting fractional share) as of any date shall be determined as follows: (i) no Option Shares will be vested prior to the Vesting Commencement Date; (ii) on the Vesting Commencement Date and on each monthly anniversary of the Vesting
Commencement Date, 1/36th of the Option Shares shall vest; provided, however, that there has not been a Termination of Service as of each such date. In no event will the Option become exercisable for any additional Option Shares after a Termination
of Service. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in Section 2 of the Plan): 

(a) The right to exercise this Option shall accelerate automatically and vest in full (notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3 above)
effective as of immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control unless this Option is to be assumed by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof) or a new option or New Incentives (as defined below) are to be issued in
exchange therefor, as provided in subsection (b) below. 
 (b) The vesting of this Option shall not accelerate if and to the extent
that: (i) this Option (including the unvested portion thereof) is to be assumed by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof) or a new option of comparable value is to be issued in exchange therefor pursuant to the terms of the
Change in Control transaction, or (ii) this Option (including the unvested portion thereof) is to be replaced by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof) with other incentives of comparable value under a new incentive program
(“New Incentives”) containing such terms and provisions as the Company’s Board of Directors in its discretion may consider equitable. If this Option is assumed, or if a new option of comparable value is issued in
exchange therefor, then this Option or the new option shall be appropriately adjusted, concurrently with the Change in Control, to apply to the number and class of securities or other property that the Optionee would have received pursuant to the
Change in Control transaction in exchange for the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Option had this Option been exercised immediately prior to the Change in Control, and appropriate adjustment also shall be made to the Exercise Price such that
the aggregate Exercise Price of this Option or the new option shall remain the same as nearly as practicable. 
  

	1 	If this is an Incentive Stock Option, it (plus other outstanding Incentive Stock Options) cannot be first exercisable for more than $100,000 in value (measured by exercise price) in any calendar year. Any excess
over $100,000 is a Nonstatutory Stock Option. 








 (c) If the provisions of subsection (b) above apply, then this Option, the new option or the
New Incentives shall continue to vest as provided above for the remainder of the term of this Option in accordance with the provisions of the Option Agreement. However, in the event of an Involuntary Termination (as defined below) of Optionee’s
service with the Company or the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof) within twelve (12) months following such Change in Control, then vesting of this Option, the new option or the New Incentives shall accelerate in full
automatically effective upon such Involuntary Termination. 
 “Involuntary Termination” shall mean a Termination of Service
by reason Optionee’s involuntary dismissal or discharge by the Company, or by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent or any subsidiary thereof employing the Optionee) for reasons other than Misconduct (as defined below). 

“Misconduct” shall mean (A) the commission of any act of fraud, embezzlement or dishonesty by Optionee which affects the

parent or any subsidiary thereof), (C) conduct on the part of Optionee which constitutes the breach of any statutory or common law duty of loyalty to the Company, the acquiring or successor entity (or parent or any subsidiary thereof), or
(D) any illegal act by Optionee which materially and adversely affects the business of the Company, the acquiring or successor entity (or parent or any subsidiary thereof), or any felony committed by Optionee, as evidenced by conviction or plea
of nolo contendre thereof. The provisions of this paragraph shall not limit the grounds for the dismissal or discharge of Optionee or any other individual in the service of the Company, the acquiring or successor entity (or parent or any
subsidiary thereof).
