 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
  
 SECTION 1. ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE. 
  
 The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on August 11, 2004, effective as of the date of the initial offering of Stock to the public pursuant to a
registration statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Effective Date”). The purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term success of the Company and the creation of stockholder value by (a)
encouraging Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants to focus on critical long-range objectives, (b) encouraging the attraction and retention of Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants with exceptional qualifications and (c) linking
Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants directly to stockholder interests through increased stock ownership. The Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for Awards in the form of restricted shares, stock units, options (which may
constitute incentive stock options or nonstatutory stock options) or stock appreciation rights. 
  
 SECTION 2. DEFINITIONS. 
  
 (a) “Affiliate” shall mean any entity other than a Subsidiary, if the Company and/or one of more Subsidiaries own not less than 50% of such entity. 
  
 (b) “Award” shall mean any award of an Option, a SAR, a Restricted Share or a Stock Unit under the
Plan. 
  
 (c) “Board of Directors” shall
mean the Board of Directors of the Company, as constituted from time to time. 
  
 (d) “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events: 
  
 (i) A change in the composition of the Board of Directors occurs, as a result of which fewer than one-half of the incumbent directors are directors who

“look-back date” (as defined below) (the “original directors”); or 
  
 (B) Were elected, or nominated for election, to the Board of Directors with the affirmative votes of at least a majority of the aggregate of the original directors who were still in office at the time of the election
or nomination and the directors whose election or nomination was previously so approved (the “continuing directors”); or 
  
 (ii) Any “person” (as defined below) who by the acquisition or aggregation of securities, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange 
  

 ARCSOFT, INC. 
 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

 Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the
Company’s then outstanding securities ordinarily (and apart from rights accruing under special circumstances) having the right to vote at elections of directors (the “Base Capital Stock”); except that any change in the relative
beneficial ownership of the Company’s securities by any person resulting solely from a reduction in the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Base Capital Stock, and any decrease thereafter in such person’s ownership of securities,
shall be disregarded until such person increases in any manner, directly or indirectly, such person’s beneficial ownership of any securities of the Company; or 
  
 (iii) The consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or any other corporate
reorganization, if persons who were not stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or other reorganization own immediately after such merger, consolidation or other reorganization 50% or more of the voting power of
the outstanding securities of each of (A) the continuing or surviving entity and (B) any direct or indirect parent corporation of such continuing or surviving entity; or 
  
 (iv) The sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. 
  
 For purposes of subsection (d)(i) above, the term “look-back” date
shall mean the later of (1) the Effective Date or (2) the date 24 months prior to the date of the event that may constitute a Change in Control.

Exchange Act but shall exclude (1) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan maintained by the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary and (2) a corporation owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the
Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Stock. 
  
 Any other provision of this Section 2(d) notwithstanding, a transaction shall not constitute a Change in Control if its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation or to create a holding
company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction, and a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur if the Company files a registration

an Offeree or Optionee. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action that he has taken or has failed to take in good faith with respect to the Plan, any Option, or any right to acquire Shares under the Plan. 
  
 SECTION 4. ELIGIBILITY. 
  
 (a) General Rule. Only Employees shall be eligible for the grant of ISOs. Only Employees, Consultants and Outside
Directors shall be eligible for the grant of Restricted Shares, Stock Units, Nonstatutory Options or SARs. 
  
 (b) Automatic Grants to Outside Directors. 
  
 (i) Each Outside Director who first joins the Board of Directors on or after the Effective Date, and who was not previously an Employee, shall receive a
Nonstatutory Option, subject to approval of the Plan by the Company’s stockholders, to purchase [            ] Shares (subject to adjustment under Section 11) on the date of his
or her election to the Board of Directors. The number of Shares in the immediately preceding sentence shall be increased to [            ] in the case of an Outside Director who
joins the Board as Chairman. Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Shares subject to each Option granted under this Section 4(b)(i) shall vest and become exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant. The balance of the Shares subject to such
Option (i.e. the remaining seventy-five percent (75%)) shall vest and become exercisable in twelve calendar quarter installments over a three-year period beginning on the day which is three months after the first anniversary of the date of grant, at
a calendar quarterly rate of 6.25% of the total number of Shares subject to such Options. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each such Option shall become vested if a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company during the Optionee’s
Service. 
  
 (ii) On the first business day following the
conclusion of each regular annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, commencing with the annual meeting occurring after the Effective Date, each Outside Director who was not elected to the Board for the first time at such meeting and who
will continue serving as a member of the Board of Directors thereafter shall receive an Option to purchase [            ] Shares (subject to adjustment under Section 11), provided
that such Outside Director has served on the Board of Directors for at least six months. Each Option granted under this Section 4(b)(ii) shall vest and become exercisable as to 50% of the Shares subject to the Option on the first anniversary of the
date of grant (or immediately prior to the next regular annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders following the date of grant in the event such meeting occurs prior to the first anniversary date), and as to the remaining 50% of the Shares
subject to the Option on the second anniversary of the date of grant (or immediately

 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
  
 -7- 








 prior to the second regular annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders following the date of grant in the event
such meeting occurs prior to the second anniversary date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Option granted under this Section 4(b)(ii) shall become vested if a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company during the Optionee’s
Service. 
  
 (iii) The Exercise Price of all Nonstatutory Options
granted to an Outside Director under this Section 4(b) shall be equal to 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, payable in one of the forms described in Section 8(a), (b) or (d). 
  
 (iv) All Nonstatutory Options granted to an Outside Director under this
Section 4(b) shall terminate on the earlier of (A) the day before the tenth anniversary of the date of grant of such Options or (B) the date twelve months after the termination of such Outside Director’s Service for any reason; provided,
however, that any such Options that are not vested upon the termination of the Outside Director’s Service for any reason shall terminate immediately and may not be exercised. 
  
 (c) Ten-Percent Stockholders. An Employee who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of
outstanding stock of the Company, a Parent or Subsidiary shall not be eligible for the grant of an ISO unless such grant satisfies the requirements of Section 422(c)(5) of the Code. 
  
 (d) Attribution Rules. For purposes of Section 4(c) above, in determining stock ownership, an Employee shall be
deemed to own the stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for such Employee’s brothers, sisters, spouse, ancestors and lineal descendants. Stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for a corporation, partnership, estate or trust shall be
deemed to be owned proportionately by or for its stockholders, partners or beneficiaries. 
  
 (e) Outstanding Stock. For purposes of Section 4(c) above, “outstanding stock” shall include all stock actually issued and outstanding immediately after the grant. “Outstanding stock” shall
not include shares authorized for issuance under outstanding options held by the Employee or by any other person. 
  
 SECTION 5. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN. 
  
 (a) Basic Limitation. Shares offered under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued Shares or treasury Shares. The aggregate number of Shares
authorized for issuance as Awards under the Plan shall not exceed [            ] Shares, plus an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year during the term of the Plan,
beginning January 1, [2006], in each case in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) [                    ] Shares, (ii)
[    %] of the outstanding Shares on the last day of the immediately preceding year, or (iii) an amount determined by the Board. The limitations of this Section 5(a) shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 11.
The number of Shares that are subject to Options or other Awards outstanding at any time under the Plan shall not exceed the number of Shares which then remain available for issuance under the Plan. 
  

 ARCSOFT, INC. 
 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
  
 -8- 








 The Company, during the term of the Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available sufficient Shares to satisfy the
requirements of the Plan. 
  
 (b) Award Limitation. Subject
to the provisions of Section 11, no Participant may receive Options, SARs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units under the Plan in any calendar year that relate to more than
[                    ] Shares. The aggregate number of Shares issued pursuant to ISOs shall not exceed the aggregate number of Shares
authorized for issuance as Awards under the Plan pursuant to Section 5(a), subject to adjustment pursuant to Sections 5(c) and 11 only to the extent that such adjustment is consistent with adjustments permitted of a plan authorizing ISOs under
Section 422 of the Code. 
  
 (c) Additional Shares. If
Restricted Shares or Shares issued upon the exercise of Options are forfeited, then such Shares shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. If Stock Units, Options or SARs are forfeited or terminate for any other reason before being
exercised, then the corresponding Shares shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. If Stock Units are settled, then only the number of Shares (if any) actually issued in settlement of such Stock Units shall reduce the number available
under Section 5(a) and the balance shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. If SARs are exercised, then only the number of Shares (if any) actually issued in settlement of such SARs shall reduce the number available in Section 5(a)
and the balance shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. 
  
 SECTION 6. RESTRICTED SHARES. 
  
 (a)
Restricted Stock Agreement. Each grant of Restricted Shares under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Agreement between the recipient and the Company. Such Restricted Shares shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and
may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Restricted Stock Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. 
  
 (b) Payment for Awards. Subject to the following sentence, Restricted Shares may be sold or awarded under the Plan
for such consideration as the Committee may determine, including (without limitation) cash, cash equivalents, full-recourse promissory notes, past services and future services. To the extent that an Award consists of newly issued Restricted Shares,
the Award recipient shall furnish consideration with a value not less than the par value of such Restricted Shares in the form of cash, cash equivalents, or past services rendered to the Company (or a Parent or Subsidiary), as the Committee may
determine. 
  
 (c) Vesting. Each Award of Restricted Shares
may or may not be subject to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Restricted Stock Agreement. A Restricted Stock Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of
the Participant’s death, disability or retirement or other events. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting Restricted Shares of thereafter, that all or part of such 
  

 ARCSOFT, INC. 
 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
  
 -9- 








 Restricted Shares shall become vested in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.

  
 (d) Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of
Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall have the same voting, dividend and other rights as the Company’s other stockholders. A Restricted Stock Agreement, however, may require that the holders of Restricted Shares invest any cash
dividends received in additional Restricted Shares. Such additional Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Award with respect to which the dividends were paid. 
  
 (e) Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Restricted Shares shall be
subject to such rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal or other restrictions as the Committee may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement and shall apply in addition to any general
restrictions that may apply to all holders of Shares. 
  
 SECTION 7. TERMS AND
CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS. 
  
 (a) Stock Option Agreement.
Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and
conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan and which the Committee deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock Option Agreement. The Stock Option Agreement shall specify whether the Option is an ISO or an NSO. The provisions of the various
Stock Option Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. Options may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the Optionee’s other compensation. 
  
 (b) Number of Shares. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the number of Shares that are subject to the Option
and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 11. 
  
 (c) Exercise Price. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of an ISO shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, except as
otherwise provided in 4(c), and the Exercise Price of an NSO shall not be less 85% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Stock Option Agreement may specify that the exercise price of an NSO may
vary in accordance with a predetermined formula. Subject to the foregoing in this Section 7(c), the Exercise Price under any Option shall be determined by the Committee at its sole discretion. The Exercise Price shall be payable in one of the forms
described in Section 8. 
  
 (d) Withholding Taxes. As a
condition to the exercise of an Option, the Optionee shall make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such exercise.
The Optionee shall also make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the 

  

 ARCSOFT, INC. 
 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
  
 -10- 








 
satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the disposition of Shares acquired by
exercising an Option. 
  
 (e) Exercisability and
Term. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of the Option is to become exercisable. The Stock Option Agreement shall also specify the term of the Option; provided that the term of an ISO shall in no event
exceed 10 years from the date of grant (five years for Employees described in Section 4(c)). A Stock Option Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Optionee’s death, disability, or retirement or other events and
may provide for expiration prior to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Optionee’s Service. Options may be awarded in combination with SARs, and such an Award may provide that the Options will not be exercisable unless
the related SARs are forfeited. Subject to the foregoing in this Section 7(e), the Committee at its sole discretion shall determine when all or any installment of an Option is to become exercisable and when an Option is to expire. 
  
 (f) Exercise of Options. Upon Termination of Service.
Each Stock Option Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Option following termination of the Optionee’s Service with the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the right to exercise the Option
of any executors or administrators of the Optionee’s estate or any person who has acquired such Option(s) directly from the Optionee by bequest or inheritance. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, need
not be uniform among all Options issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of Service. 
  
 (g) Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting an Option or thereafter, that such Option shall become
exercisable as to all or part of the Shares subject to such Option in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company. 
  
 (h) Leaves of Absence. An Employee’s Service shall cease when such Employee ceases to be actively employed by, or a Consultant to, the
Company (or any subsidiary) as determined in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. For purposes of Options, Service does not terminate when an Employee goes on a bona fide leave of absence, that was approved by the Company in writing, if
the terms of the leave provide for continued service crediting, or when continued service crediting is required by applicable law. However, for purposes of determining whether an Option is entitled to ISO status, an Employee’s Service will be
treated as terminating 90 days after such Employee went on leave, unless such Employee’s right to return to active work is guaranteed by law or by a contract. Service terminates in any event when the approved leave ends, unless such Employee
immediately returns to active work. The Company determines which leaves count toward Service, and when Service terminates for all purposes under the Plan. 
  
 (i) No Rights as a Stockholder. An Optionee, or a transferee of an Optionee, shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any
Shares covered by his Option until the date of 

  

 ARCSOFT, INC. 
 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
  
 -11- 








 
the issuance of a stock certificate for such Shares. No adjustments shall be made, except as provided in Section 11. 
  
 (j) Modification, Extension and Renewal of Options. Within the
limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding options (to the extent not previously exercised), whether or not granted hereunder, in return for the grant of new
Options for the same or a different number of Shares and at the same or a different exercise price, or in return for the grant of the same or a different number of Shares. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without
the consent of the Optionee, materially impair his or her rights or obligations under such Option. 
  
 (k) Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Any Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be subject to such special forfeiture conditions,
rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the Committee may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Stock Option Agreement and shall apply in addition to any general restrictions that
may apply to all holders of Shares. 
  
 (l) Buyout
Provisions. The Committee may at any time (a) offer to buy out for a payment in cash or cash equivalents an Option previously granted or (b) authorize an Optionee to elect to cash out an Option previously granted, in either case at such time and
based upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish. 
  
 SECTION 8. PAYMENT FOR SHARES. 
  
 (a)
General Rule. The entire Exercise Price or Purchase Price of Shares issued under the Plan shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America at the time when such Shares are purchased, except as provided in Section 8(b) through
Section 8(g) below. 
  
 (b) Surrender of Stock. To
the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part by surrendering, or attesting to the ownership of, Shares which have already been owned by the Optionee or his representative. Such Shares shall be valued at
their Fair Market Value on the date when the new Shares are purchased under the Plan. The Optionee shall not surrender, or attest to the ownership of, Shares in payment of the Exercise Price if such action would cause the Company to recognize
compensation expense (or additional compensation expense) with respect to the Option for financial reporting purposes. 
  
 (c) Services Rendered. At the discretion of the Committee, Shares may be awarded under the Plan in consideration of services rendered to the
Company or a Subsidiary prior to the award. If Shares are awarded without the payment of a Purchase Price in cash, the Committee shall make a determination (at the time of the award) of the value of the services rendered by the Offeree and the
sufficiency of the consideration to meet the requirements of Section 6(b). 
  

 ARCSOFT, INC. 
 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
  
 -12- 








 (d) Cashless Exercise. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, payment may
be made all or in part by delivery (on a form prescribed by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price.

  
 (e) Exercise/Pledge. To the extent that a Stock
Option Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form prescribed by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker or lender to pledge Shares, as security for a loan, and to deliver all or part of
the loan proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price. 
  
 (f) Promissory Note. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivering (on a form prescribed by the Company) a
full-recourse promissory note. However, the par value of the Common Shares being purchased under the Plan, if newly issued, shall be paid in cash or cash equivalents. 
  
 (g) Other Forms of Payment. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement so
provides, payment may be made in any other form that is consistent with applicable laws, regulations and rules. 
  
 (h) Limitations under Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything herein or in a Stock Option Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement to the
contrary, payment may not be made in any form that is unlawful, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 
  
 SECTION 9. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. 
  
 (a) SAR Agreement. Each grant of a SAR under the Plan shall be evidenced by a SAR Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. Such SAR
shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various SAR Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. SARs may be granted
in consideration of a reduction in the Optionee’s other compensation. 
  
 (b) Number of Shares. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the number of Shares to which the SAR pertains and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 11. 
  
 (c) Exercise Price. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the
Exercise Price. A SAR Agreement may specify an Exercise Price that varies in accordance with a predetermined formula while the SAR is outstanding. 
  
 (d) Exercisability and Term. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of the SAR is to become exercisable. The
SAR Agreement shall also specify the term of the SAR. A SAR Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Optionee’s death, disability or retirement or other events and may provide for expiration 
  

 ARCSOFT, INC. 
 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
  
 -13- 








 prior to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Optionee’s service. SARs may be awarded in
combination with Options, and such an Award may provide that the SARs will not be exercisable unless the related Options are forfeited. A SAR may be included in an ISO only at the time of grant but may be included in an NSO at the time of grant or
thereafter. A SAR granted under the Plan may provide that it will be exercisable only in the event of a Change in Control. 
  
 (e) Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting a SAR or thereafter, that such SAR shall become fully
exercisable as to all Common Shares subject to such SAR in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company. 
  
 (f) Exercise of SARs. Upon exercise of a SAR, the Optionee (or any person having the right to exercise the SAR after his or her death) shall
receive from the Company (a) Shares, (b) cash or (c) a combination of Shares and cash, as the Committee shall determine. The amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of Shares received upon exercise of SARs shall, in the aggregate, be equal to
the amount by which the Fair Market Value (on the date of surrender) of the Shares subject to the SARs exceeds the Exercise Price. 
  
 (g) Modification or Assumption of SARs. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or assume outstanding SARs or
may accept the cancellation of outstanding SARs (whether granted by the Company or by another issuer) in return for the grant of new SARs for the same or a different number of shares and at the same or a different exercise price. The foregoing
notwithstanding, no modification of a SAR shall, without the consent of the holder, materially impair his or her rights or obligations under such SAR. 
  
 SECTION 10. STOCK UNITS. 
  
 (a) Stock Unit Agreement. Each grant of Stock Units under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Unit Agreement between the recipient and
the Company. Such Stock Units shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Stock Unit Agreements entered into under the Plan need
not be identical. Stock Units may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the recipient’s other compensation. 
  
 (b) Payment for Awards. To the extent that an Award is granted in the form of Stock Units, no cash consideration shall be required of the
Award recipients. 
  
 (c) Vesting Conditions. Each
Award of Stock Units may or may not be subject to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Stock Unit Agreement. A Stock Unit Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the
event of the Participant’s death, disability or retirement or other events. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting Stock Units or thereafter, that all or part of 
  

 ARCSOFT, INC. 
 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
  
 -14- 








 such Stock Units shall become vested in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.

  
 (d) Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Stock
Units shall have no voting rights. Prior to settlement or forfeiture, any Stock Unit awarded under the Plan may, at the Committee’s discretion, carry with it a right to dividend equivalents. Such right entitles the holder to be credited with an
amount equal to all cash dividends paid on one Share while the Stock Unit is outstanding. Dividend equivalents may be converted into additional Stock Units. Settlement of dividend equivalents may be made in the form of cash, in the form of Shares,
or in a combination of both. Prior to distribution, any dividend equivalents which are not paid shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions (including without limitation, any forfeiture conditions) as the Stock Units to which they
attach. 
  
 (e) Form and Time of Settlement of Stock Units.
Settlement of vested Stock Units may be made in the form of (a) cash, (b) Shares or (c) any combination of both, as determined by the Committee. The actual number of Stock Units eligible for settlement may be larger or smaller than the number
included in the original Award, based on predetermined performance factors. Methods of converting Stock Units into cash may include (without limitation) a method based on the average Fair Market Value of Shares over a series of trading days. Vested
Stock Units may be settled in a lump sum or in installments. The distribution may occur or commence when all vesting conditions applicable to the Stock Units have been satisfied or have lapsed, or it may be deferred to any later date. The amount of
a deferred distribution may be increased by an interest factor or by dividend equivalents. Until an Award of Stock Units is settled, the number of such Stock Units shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 11. 
  
 (f) Death of Recipient. Any Stock Units Award that becomes payable
after the recipient’s death shall be distributed to the recipient’s beneficiary or beneficiaries. Each recipient of a Stock Units Award under the Plan shall designate one or more beneficiaries for this purpose by filing the prescribed form
with the Company. A beneficiary designation may be changed by filing the prescribed form with the Company at any time before the Award recipient’s death. If no beneficiary was designated or if no designated beneficiary survives the Award
recipient, then any Stock Units Award that becomes payable after the recipient’s death shall be distributed to the recipient’s estate. 
  
 (g) Creditors’ Rights. A holder of Stock Units shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Stock Units
represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Stock Unit Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 11. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES. 
  
 (a) Adjustments. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock, a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, a declaration of a dividend
payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the price of Shares, a combination or consolidation of 
  

 ARCSOFT, INC. 
 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
  
 -15- 








 the outstanding Stock (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Shares, a recapitalization, a spin-off
or a similar occurrence, the Committee shall make such adjustments as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate in one or more of: 
  
 (i) The number of Options, SARs, Restricted Shares and Stock Units available for future Awards under Section 5; 
  
 (ii) The limitations set forth in Sections 5(a) and (b); 
  
 (iii) The number of NSOs to be granted to Outside Directors under Section
4(b); 
  
 (iv) The number of Shares covered by each outstanding
Option and SAR; 
  
 (v) The Exercise Price under each outstanding
Option and SAR; or 
  
 (vi) The number of Stock Units included in
any prior Award which has not yet been settled. 
  
 Except as provided in this
Section 11, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of any issue by the Company of stock of any class or securities convertible into stock of any class, any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any stock
dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class. 
  
 (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. To the extent not previously exercised or settled, Options, SARs and Stock Units shall terminate immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company. 

 
 (c) Reorganizations. In the event that the Company is a party to a
merger or other reorganization, outstanding Awards shall be subject to the agreement of merger or reorganization. Such agreement shall provide for: 
  
 (i) The continuation of the outstanding Awards by the Company, if the Company is a surviving corporation; 
  
 (ii) The assumption of the outstanding Awards by the surviving corporation or
its parent or subsidiary; 
  
 (iii) The substitution by the
surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary of its own awards for the outstanding Awards; 
  
 (iv) Full exercisability or vesting and accelerated expiration of the outstanding Awards; or 
  

 ARCSOFT, INC. 
 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
  
 -16- 








 (v) Settlement of the full value of the outstanding Awards in cash or cash equivalents followed by
cancellation of such Awards. 
  
 (d) Reservation of Rights.
Except as provided in this Section 11, an Optionee or Offeree shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares
of stock of any class. Any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or Exercise
Price of Shares subject to an Option. The grant of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure,
to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. 
  
 SECTION 12. DEFERRAL OF AWARDS. 
  
 (a) Committee Powers. The Committee (in its sole discretion) may permit or require a Participant to: 
  
 (i) Have cash that otherwise would be paid to such Participant as a result of the exercise of a SAR or the settlement of Stock Units credited to a
deferred compensation account established for such Participant by the Committee as an entry on the Company’s books; 
  
 (ii) Have Shares that otherwise would be delivered to such Participant as a result of the exercise of an Option or SAR converted into an equal number of
Stock Units; or 
  
 (iii) Have Shares that otherwise would be
delivered to such Participant as a result of the exercise of an Option or SAR or the settlement of Stock Units converted into amounts credited to a deferred compensation account established for such Participant by the Committee as an entry on the
Company’s books. Such amounts shall be determined by reference to the Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date when they otherwise would have been delivered to such Participant. 
  
 (b) General Rules. A deferred compensation account established under
this Section 12 may be credited with interest or other forms of investment return, as determined by the Committee. A Participant for whom such an account is established shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Such
an account shall represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement between such Participant and the Company. If the deferral or conversion of Awards is
permitted or required, the Committee (in its sole discretion) may establish rules, procedures and forms pertaining to such Awards, including (without limitation) the settlement of deferred compensation accounts established under this Section 12.

 -17- 








 SECTION 13. AWARDS UNDER OTHER PLANS. 
  
 The Company may grant awards under other plans or programs. Such awards may be settled in the form of Shares issued under
this Plan. Such Shares shall be treated for all purposes under the Plan like Shares issued in settlement of Stock Units and shall, when issued, reduce the number of Shares available under Section 5. 
  
 SECTION 14. PAYMENT OF DIRECTOR’S FEES IN SECURITIES. 
  
 (a) Effective Date. No provision of this Section 14 shall be
effective unless and until the Board has determined to implement such provision. 
  
 (b) Elections to Receive NSOs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units. An Outside Director may elect to receive his or her annual retainer payments and/or meeting fees from the Company in the form of cash, NSOs,
Restricted Shares or Stock Units, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Board. Such NSOs, Restricted Shares and Stock Units shall be issued under the Plan. An election under this Section 14 shall be filed with the Company on the prescribed
form. 
  
 (c) Number and Terms of NSOs, Restricted Shares or
Stock Units. The number of NSOs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units to be granted to Outside Directors in lieu of annual retainers and meeting fees that would otherwise be paid in cash shall be calculated in a manner determined by the Board. The
terms of such NSOs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units shall also be determined by the Board. 
  
 SECTION 15. LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS. 
  
 Shares shall not be issued under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares complies with (or is exempt from) all applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations and the regulations of any stock exchange on which the Company’s securities may then be listed, and the Company has obtained the approval
or favorable ruling from any governmental agency which the Company determines is necessary or advisable. The Company shall not be liable to a Participant or other persons as to: (a) the non-issuance or sale of Shares as to which the Company has been
unable to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares under the Plan; and (b) any tax consequences expected, but not realized,
by any Participant or other person due to the receipt, exercise or settlement of any Award granted under the Plan. 
  
 SECTION 16. WITHHOLDING TAXES. 
  
 (a) General. To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, a Participant or his or her successor shall make
arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise in connection with the Plan. The 
  

 ARCSOFT, INC. 
 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
  
 -18- 








 Company shall not be required to issue any Shares or make any cash payment under the Plan until such obligations are
satisfied. 
  
 (b) Share Withholding. The Committee may
permit a Participant to satisfy all or part of his or her withholding or income tax obligations by having the Company withhold all or a portion of any Shares that otherwise would be issued to him or her or by surrendering all or a portion of any
Shares that he or she previously acquired. Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when taxes otherwise would be withheld in cash. In no event may a Participant have Shares withheld that would otherwise be issued to him or
her in excess of the number necessary to satisfy the legally required minimum tax withholding. 
  
 SECTION 17. OTHER PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS.

 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
  
 STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 
  

			
	 Tax Treatment
	  	This Option is intended to be an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code or a nonstatutory option, as provided in the Notice of Stock Option Grant. Even if this
Option is designated as an incentive stock option, it shall be deemed to be an nonstatutory option to the extent required by the $100,000 annual limitation under Section 422(d) of the Internal Revenue Code.
		
	 Vesting
	  	This Option becomes exercisable in installments, as shown in the Notice of Stock Option Grant. This Option will in no event become exercisable for additional shares after your Service 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 10th anniversary of the Grant Date, as shown on the Notice of Stock Option Grant (fifth
anniversary for a more than 10% stockholder as provided under the Plan if this is an incentive stock option). This Option may expire earlier if your Service terminates, as described below.
		
	 Regular
 Termination
	  	If your Service terminates for any reason except death or “Total and Permanent Disability” (as defined in the Plan), then this Option will expire at the close of business at Company
headquarters on the date three (3) months after the date your Service terminates (or, if earlier, the Expiration Date). The Company has discretion to determine when your Service terminates for all purposes of the Plan and its determinations are
conclusive and binding on all persons.
		
	 Death
	  	If you die, then this Option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date 12 months after the date your Service terminates (or, if earlier, the Expiration Date).
During that period of up to 12 months, your estate or heirs may exercise the Option.
		
	 Disability
	  	If your Service terminates because of your Total and Permanent Disability, then this Option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date 12 months after the date
your Service terminates (or, if earlier, the Expiration Date).

  
 ARCSOFT, INC. 
 STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

	 Leaves of Absence
	  	 For purposes of this Option, your Service does not terminate when you go on a military leave, a sick leave or another bona fide leave of absence,
if the leave was approved by the Company in writing and if continued crediting of Service is required by the terms of the leave or by applicable law. But your Service terminates when the approved leave ends, unless you immediately return to active
work.
  
 If you go on a leave of absence, then the vesting schedule specified in
the Notice of Stock Option Grant may be adjusted in accordance with the Company’s leave of absence policy or the terms of your leave. If you commence working on a part-time basis, then the vesting schedule specified in the Notice of Stock
Option Grant may be adjusted in accordance with the Company’s part-time work policy or the terms of an agreement between you and the Company pertaining to your part-time schedule.

		
	 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. However, the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain such approval.
		
	 Notice of Exercise
	  	When you wish to exercise this Option you must notify the Company by completing the attached “Notice of Exercise of Stock Option” form and filing it with the Human Resources
Department of the Company. You notice must specify how many shares you wish to purchase. Your notice must also specify how your shares should be registered. The notice will be effective when it is received by the Company. If someone else wants to
exercise this Option after your death, that person must prove to the Company’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.


  
 ARCSOFT, INC. 
 STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

	 	  	 •     Certificates for shares of Company stock 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 of Company stock, you may attest to the ownership of
those shares on a form provided by the Company and have the same number of shares subtracted from the Option shares issued to you. However, you may not surrender, or attest to the ownership of shares of Company stock 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 delivering on a form approved by the Committee of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker
approved by the Company to sell all or part of your Option shares and to deliver to the Company from the sale proceeds in an amount sufficient to pay the Option exercise price and any withholding taxes. The balance of the sale proceeds, if any, will
be delivered to you. The directions must be given by signing a special “Notice of Exercise” form provided by the Company.

		
	 	  	 •     Irrevocable directions to a securities broker or lender approved by the Company to pledge Option shares
as security for a loan and to deliver to the Company from the loan proceeds an amount sufficient to pay the Option exercise price and any withholding taxes. The directions must be given by signing a special “Notice of Exercise” form
provided by the Company.

		
	 	  	Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment may not be made in any form that is unlawful, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.
		
	 Withholding Taxes
 and Stock
 Withholding
	  	You will not be allowed to exercise this Option unless you make arrangements acceptable to the Company to pay any withholding taxes that may be due as a result of the Option exercise. These
arrangements may include withholding shares of Company stock that otherwise would be issued to you when you exercise this Option. The value of these shares, determined as of the effective date of the Option exercise, will be applied to the
withholding taxes.

 STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

	 Restrictions on
 Resale
	  	By signing this Agreement, you agree not to sell any Option shares at a time when applicable laws, Company policies or an agreement between the Company and its underwriters prohibit a sale
(e.g., a lock-up period after the Company goes public). This restriction will apply as long as you are an employee, consultant or director of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company.
	 Transfer of Option
	  	 In general, only you can exercise this Option prior to your death. You cannot transfer or assign 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 sell this Option or use it 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.
  
 However, if this
Option is designated as a nonstatutory stock option in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, then the “Committee” (as defined in the Plan) 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 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, if this Option is designated as a nonstatutory stock option in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, then the Committee 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 Committee will allow you to transfer this Option only if both you and the transferee(s) execute the forms prescribed by the Committee, which include the consent of
the transferee(s) to be bound by this Agreement.

 Rights
	  	You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights as a stockholder of the Company until you have exercised this Option by giving the required notice to the Company and paying the exercise price.
