beginning in 2001, equal to the lesser of (i) 1,500,000 shares, (ii) 3% of the outstanding shares on such date or (iii) a lesser amount determined by the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall more than 30% of the Shares that remain

Award) or, with respect to Restricted Stock, Performance Shares, Performance Units or Deferred Stock Units, is forfeited back to or repurchased by the Company, the unpurchased Shares (or for Awards other than Options and SARs, the forfeited or

the Plan and shall not become available for future distribution under the Plan, except that if Shares of Restricted Stock, Performance Shares, Performance Units or Deferred Stock Units are repurchased by the Company at their original purchase price
or are forfeited to the Company, such Shares shall become 

  

 -4- 








 
available for future grant under the Plan. To the extent an Award under the Plan is paid out in cash rather than stock, such cash payment shall not result in
reducing the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan. 
  
 4. Administration of the Plan. 
  
 (a) Procedure. 
  
 (i)
Multiple Administrative Bodies. Different Committees with respect to different groups of Service Providers may administer the Plan. 
  
 (ii) Section 162(m). To the extent that the Administrator determines it to be desirable to qualify Options granted hereunder as
“performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Plan shall be administered by a Committee of two or more “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. 
  
 (iii) Rule 16b-3. To the extent desirable to qualify
transactions hereunder as exempt under Rule 16b-3, the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be structured to satisfy the requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3. 
  
 (iv) Other Administration. Other than as provided above, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the
Board or (B) a Committee, which committee shall be constituted to satisfy Applicable Laws. 
  
 (b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, and in the case of a Committee, subject to the specific
duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion: 
  
 (i) to determine the Fair Market Value; 
  
 (ii) to select the Service Providers to whom Awards may be granted hereunder; 
  
 (iii) to determine the number of Shares to be covered by
each Award granted hereunder; 
  
 (iv) to approve
forms of agreement for use under the Plan; 
  
 (v) to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award granted hereunder. Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Awards may be
exercised or purchased (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture or repurchase restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Award or the Shares relating thereto, based in each
case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine; 
  
 (vi) to reduce the exercise price of any Award to the then current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock covered
by such Award shall have declined since the date the Award was granted; 
  

 -5- 








 (vii) to institute an exchange program whereby outstanding Awards are surrendered in
exchange for an Option, SAR or other Award with a lower exercise price. 
  
 (viii) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards granted pursuant to the Plan; 
  
 (ix) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans
established for the purpose of qualifying for preferred tax treatment under foreign tax laws; 
  
 (x) to modify or amend each Award (subject to Section 21(c) of the Plan), including the discretionary authority to extend the
post-termination exercisability period of Options or SARs longer than is otherwise provided for in the Plan; 
  
 (xi) to allow Participants to satisfy withholding tax obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares or cash to be
issued upon exercise or vesting of an Award that number of Shares or cash having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld. The Fair Market Value of any Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of
tax to be withheld is to be determined. All elections by a Participant to have Shares or cash withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions as the Administrator may deem necessary or advisable; 
  
 (xii) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the
Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Award previously granted by the Administrator; 
  
 (xiii) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan. 
  
 (c) Effect of Administrator’s Decision. The
Administrator’s decisions, determinations and interpretations shall be final and binding on all Participants. 
  
 5. Eligibility. Stock Purchase Rights, Performance Shares, Performance Units, Stock Appreciation Rights, Deferred Stock Units and Nonstatutory
Stock Options may be granted to Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. 
  
 6. Limitations. 
  
 (a) Each Option shall be designated in the Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However,
notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the
Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 6(a), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The
Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted. 
  
 (b) Neither the Plan nor any Award shall confer upon Participant any right with respect to continuing his or her relationship as a Service
Provider with the Company, nor shall they 

  

 -6- 








 
interfere in any way with the right of the Participant or the right of the Company’s right or its Parent or Subsidiaries to terminate such relationship
at any time, with or without cause. 
  
 (c) The
following limitations shall apply to Awards under the Plan: 
  
 (i) No Service Provider shall be granted, in any fiscal year of the Company, (A) Option or SARs to purchase more than 1,000,000 Shares, (B) Stock Purchase Rights to purchase more than 500,000 Shares, (C) Performance
Shares covering more than 500,000 Shares, and (D) Performance Units with an initial value in excess of $1,000,000. 
  
 (ii) In connection with his or her initial service, a Service Provider may be granted (A) Options or SARs to purchase up to an additional
1,000,000 Shares, (B) Stock Purchase Rights to purchase up to an additional 500,000 Shares, (C) Performance Shares covering up to an additional 500,000 Shares, and (D) additional Performance Units with an initial value of up to $1,000,000, which
shall not count against the limits set forth in subsection (i) above. 
  
 (iii) The foregoing limitations shall be adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization as described in Section 19(a). 
  
 (iv) If an Award is cancelled in the same fiscal year of the
Company in which it was granted (other than in connection with a transaction described in Section 19(c)), the cancelled Award will be counted against the limits set forth in subsections (i) and (ii) above. 
  
 7. Term of Plan. Subject to Section 25 of the Plan, the amendment and
restatement of the Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the Board. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years from the date of such adoption by the Board, unless terminated earlier under Section 21 of the Plan. 

 
 8. Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be stated in the
Award Agreement. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the term shall be ten (10) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. Moreover, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a
Participant who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive
Stock Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. 
  
 9. Option Exercise Price and Consideration. 
  
 (a) Exercise Price. The per Share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be determined
by the Administrator, subject to the following: 
  
 (i) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option 
  
 (A) granted to an Employee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share
exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. 
  

 -7- 








 (B) granted to any Employee other than an Employee described in paragraph (A)
immediately above, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. 
  
 (ii) In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the per Share exercise price shall be determined by the Administrator. In the case of a
Nonstatutory Stock Option intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of
grant. 
  
 (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a merger or other corporate transaction. 
  
 (iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to an already
granted Option may not be changed without the consent of the Company’s stockholders. This shall include, without limitation, a repricing of the Option as well as exchange program whereby the Participant agrees to cancel an existing Option in
exchange for an Option, SAR or other Award. 
  
 (b) Waiting Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator shall fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and shall determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the Option may
be exercised. 
  
 (c) Form of
Consideration. The Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of
consideration at the time of grant. Such consideration to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws may consist entirely of: 
  
 (i) cash; 
  
 (ii) check; 
  
 (iii) promissory note; 
  
 (iv) other Shares which meet the conditions established by the Administrator to avoid adverse accounting consequences (as determined by
the Administrator); 
  
 (v) consideration
received by the Company under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan; 
  
 (vi) a reduction in the amount of any Company liability to the Participant, including any liability attributable to the Participant’s
participation in any Company-sponsored deferred compensation program or arrangement; 
  
 (vii) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment; or 
  

 -8- 








 (viii) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the
extent permitted by Applicable Laws. 
  
 10. Exercise of
Option. 
  
 (a) Procedure for Exercise;
Rights as a Shareholder. Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. Unless the
Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Options granted hereunder shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. 
  
 An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) written or electronic notice of exercise
(in accordance with the Award Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment
authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Award Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Participant or, if requested by the Participant, in the name of the Participant and his or
her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist
with respect to the Awarded Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the
record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 19 of the Plan. 
  
 Exercising an Option in any manner shall decrease the number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale
under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised. 
  
 (b) Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If an Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the
Participant’s death or Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than
the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Participant’s termination. If, on
the date of termination, the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Participant does not exercise his or her Option
within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. 
  
 (c) Disability of Participant. If an Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Participant’s Disability,
the Participant may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as
set forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Participant’s termination. If, on the date of 

  

 -9- 








 
termination, the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan.
If, after termination, the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. 
  
 (d) Death of Participant. If an Participant dies
while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised following the Participant’s death within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death (but in no event may the
option be exercised later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement), by the Participant’s designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been designated prior to Participant’s death in a
form acceptable to the Administrator. If no such beneficiary has been designated by the Participant, then such Option may be exercised by the personal representative of the Participant’s estate or by the person(s) to whom the Option is
transferred pursuant to the Participant’s will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the
Participant’s death. If, at the time of death, the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan. If the Option is not so exercised within
the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. 
  
 (e) Buyout Provisions. The Administrator may at any time offer to buy out for a payment in cash or Shares an Option previously
granted based on such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the Participant at the time that such offer is made. 
  
 11. Stock Purchase Rights. 
  
 (a) Rights to Purchase. Stock Purchase Rights may be issued either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other Awards granted
under the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan. After the Administrator determines that it will offer Stock Purchase Rights under the Plan, it shall advise the offeree in writing or electronically, of the terms, conditions and
restrictions related to the offer, including the number of Shares that the offeree shall be entitled to purchase, the price to be paid, and the time within which the offeree must accept such offer. The offer shall be accepted by execution of an
Award Agreement in the form determined by the Administrator. 
  
 (b) Repurchase Option. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the Award Agreement shall grant the Company a repurchase option exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the
purchaser’s service with the Company for any reason (including death or Disability). The purchase price for Shares repurchased pursuant to the Award Agreement shall be the original price paid by the purchaser and may be paid by cancellation of
any indebtedness of the purchaser to the Company. The repurchase option shall lapse at a rate determined by the Administrator. However, if the Administrator determines it is desirable for the Award to qualify as “performance-based
compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code, the repurchase option shall lapse based upon the achievement of Performance Goals. 
  

 -10- 








 (c) Other Provisions. The Award Agreement shall contain such other terms,
provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. 
  
 (d) Rights as a Stockholder. Once the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, the purchaser shall have the rights equivalent to those of
a stockholder, and shall be a stockholder when his or her purchase is entered upon the records of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the
date the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, except as provided in Section 19 of the Plan. 
  
 12. Stock Appreciation Rights. 
  
 (a) Grant of SARs. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, SARs may be granted to Service Providers at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Administrator, in its sole
discretion. The Administrator shall have complete discretion to determine the number of SARs granted to any Participant. 
  
 (b) Exercise Price and other Terms. The Administrator, subject to the provision of the Plan, shall have complete discretion to
determine the terms and conditions of SARs granted under the Plan; provided, however, that no SAR may have a term of more than ten (10) years from the date of grant. The exercise price for the Shares or cash to be issued pursuant to an already
granted SAR may not be changed without the consent of the Company’s stockholders. This shall include, without limitation, a repricing of the SAR as well as an SAR exchange program whereby the Participant agrees to cancel an existing SAR in
exchange for an Option, SAR or other Award. 
  
 (c) Payment of SAR Amount. Upon exercise of a SAR, a Participant shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying: 
  
 (i) the difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the exercise price;
times 
  
 (ii) the number of Shares with respect
to which the SAR is exercised. 
  
 (d) Payment
upon Exercise of SAR. At the discretion of the Administrator, payment for a SAR may be in cash, Shares or a combination thereof. 
  
 (e) SAR Agreement. Each SAR grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the exercise price, the term of the
SAR, the conditions of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine. 
  
 (f) Expiration of SARs. Subject to the term stated in Section 12(b), a SAR granted under the Plan shall expire upon the date
determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement. 
  
 (g) Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the
Participant’s death or Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Stock Appreciation Right within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Stock Appreciation Right is vested and exercisable on
the date of 

  

 -11- 








 
termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Stock Appreciation Right as set forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a
specified time in the Award Agreement, the Stock Appreciation Right shall remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Participant’s termination. If, on the date of termination, the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire
Stock Appreciation Right, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Stock Appreciation Right shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Participant does not exercise his or her Stock Appreciation Right within the time specified by
the Administrator, the Stock Appreciation Right shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Stock Appreciation Right shall revert to the Plan. 
  
 (h) Disability of Participant. If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Participant’s Disability,
the Participant may exercise his or her Stock Appreciation Right within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent the Stock Appreciation Right is vested and exercisable on the date of termination (but in no event later
than the expiration of the term of such Stock Appreciation Right as set forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Stock Appreciation Right shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following
the Participant’s termination. If, on the date of termination, the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Stock Appreciation Right, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Stock Appreciation Right shall revert to the Plan.
If, after termination, the Participant does not exercise his or her Stock Appreciation Right within the time specified herein, the Stock Appreciation Right shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Stock Appreciation Right shall revert to the
Plan. 
  
 (i) Death of Participant. If a
Participant dies while a Service Provider, the Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Stock Appreciation Right is vested and exercisable on the date of death
(but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Stock Appreciation Right as set forth in the Notice of Grant), by the Participant’s designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been designated prior to Participant’s
death in a form acceptable to the Administrator. If no such beneficiary has been designated by the Participant, then such Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by the personal representative of the Participant’s estate or by the person(s)
to whom the Stock Appreciation Right is transferred pursuant to the Participant’s will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution,. In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Stock Appreciation Right shall
remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Participant’s termination. If, at the time of death, the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Stock Appreciation Right, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Stock
Appreciation Right shall immediately revert to the Plan. If the Stock Appreciation Right is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Stock Appreciation Right shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Stock Appreciation Right
shall revert to the Plan. 
  
 (j) Buyout
Provisions. The Administrator may at any time offer to buy out for a payment in cash or Shares a Stock Appreciation Right previously granted based on such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the
Participant at the time that such offer is made.

 13. Performance Shares. 
  
 (a) Grant of Performance Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, Performance Shares
may be granted to Service Providers at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. The Administrator shall have complete discretion to determine (i) the number of Shares subject to a
Performance Share Award granted to any Participant, and (ii) the conditions that must be satisfied, which typically will be based principally or solely on achievement of performance milestones but may include a service-based component, upon which is
conditioned the grant or vesting of Performance Shares; provided, however, that (1) the performance milestones will be based on Performance Goals if the Administrator desires that the Award qualify as “performance-based compensation” under
Section 162(m) of the Code, and (2) any period for measuring performance will be at least 12 months. Performance Shares shall be granted in the form of units/rights to acquire Shares. Each such unit/right shall be the equivalent of one Share for
purposes of determining the number of Shares subject to an Award. Until the Shares are issued, no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the units/rights to acquire Shares. 
  
 (b) Other Terms. The Administrator, subject to the
provisions of the Plan, shall have complete discretion to determine the terms and conditions of Performance Shares granted under the Plan. Performance Share grants shall be subject to the terms, conditions, and restrictions determined by the
Administrator at the time the stock is awarded, which may include such performance-based milestones as are determined appropriate by the Administrator. The Administrator may require the Participant to sign a Performance Shares agreement as a
condition of the Award. Any certificates representing the Shares of stock awarded shall bear such legends as shall be determined by the Administrator. 
  
 (c) Performance Share Award Agreement. Each Performance Share grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify
such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine. 
  
 14. Performance Units. 
  
 (a) Grant of Performance Units. Performance Units are similar to Performance Shares, except that they shall be settled in a cash equivalent to the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares, determined as of
the vesting date. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, Performance Units may be granted to Service Providers at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. The Administrator shall
have complete discretion to determine (i) the number of Shares subject to a Performance Unit Award granted to any Participant, and (ii) the conditions that must be satisfied, which typically will be based principally or solely on achievement of
performance milestones but may include a service-based component, upon which is conditioned the grant or vesting of Performance Units; provided, however, that (1) the performance milestones will be based on Performance Goals if the Administrator
desires that the Award qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, and (2) any period for measuring performance will be at least 12 months. Performance Units shall be granted in the form of units/rights to acquire
Shares. Each such unit/right shall be the cash equivalent of one Share of Common Stock. No right to vote or receive 

  

 -13- 








 
dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to Performance Units or the cash payable thereunder. 
  
 (b) Other Terms. The Administrator, subject to the
provisions of the Plan, shall have complete discretion to determine the terms and conditions of Performance Units granted under the Plan. Performance Unit grants shall be subject to the terms, conditions, and restrictions determined by the
Administrator at the time the stock is awarded, which may include such performance-based milestones as are determined appropriate by the Administrator. The Administrator may require the Participant to sign a Performance Unit agreement as a condition
of the Award. Any certificates representing the Shares of stock awarded shall bear such legends as shall be determined by the Administrator. 
  
 (c) Performance Unit Award Agreement. Each Performance Unit grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify such
terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine. 
  
 15. Deferred Stock Units. Deferred Stock Units shall consist of a Restricted Stock, Performance Share or Performance Unit Award that the Administrator, in its sole discretion permits to be paid out in
installments or on a deferred basis, in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Administrator. 
  
 16. Non-Transferability of Awards. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, an Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated,
transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant. If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, such
Award shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate. 
  
 17. Formula Option Grants to Outside Directors. Outside Directors shall be automatically granted Options each year in accordance with the following
provisions: 
  
 (a) All Options granted pursuant
to this Section shall be Nonstatutory Stock Options and, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be subject to the other terms and conditions of the Plan. 
  

(b) Each person who first becomes an Outside Director on or after the IPO Effective Date, whether through election by the stockholders
of the Company or appointment by the Board to fill a vacancy, shall be automatically granted an Option to purchase 40,000 Shares (the “First Option”) on the date he or she first becomes an Outside Director; provided, however, that an
Inside Director who ceases to be an Inside Director but who remains a Director shall not receive a First Option. 
  
 (c) Each Outside Director shall be automatically granted an Option to purchase 10,000 Shares (a “Subsequent Option”) following
each annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company, except in the case of the first such annual meeting after the IPO Effective Date if such annual meeting is held within six (6) months of the IPO Effective Date, if as of such date, he or she
shall continue to serve on the Board and shall have served on the Board for at least the preceding six (6) months.

 (d) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) hereof, any exercise of an

 (e) The terms of each First Option granted pursuant to this
Section shall be as follows: 
  
 (i) the term of
the First Option shall be ten (10) years. 
  
 (ii) the exercise price per Share shall be 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant of the First Option.

 (iii) the Subsequent
Option shall vest as to 25% of the Shares subject to the Subsequent Option on each anniversary of its date of grant provided that the Participant continues to serve as a Director on such dates. 
  
 18. Leaves of Absence. Subject to any other provision of the Plan,
unless the Administrator provides otherwise or as otherwise required by Applicable Laws, vesting of Awards granted hereunder shall cease commencing on the first day of any unpaid leave of absence and shall recommence only upon return to active
service. 
  
 19. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization,
Dissolution, Merger, or Asset Sale. 
  
 (a)
Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Award, the number of Shares which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which
no Awards have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Award, the number of Shares as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Award, the number of Shares
covered by options automatically granted under Section 17, and the 162(m) annual share issuance limits under Section 6(c) shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a stock split,
reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion
of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by 

  

 -15- 








 
the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of
shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an Award. 
  
 (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the
proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for a Participant to
have the right to exercise his or her Option or SAR until ten (10) days prior to such transaction as to all of the Awarded Stock covered thereby, including Shares as to which the Award would not otherwise be exercisable. In addition, the
Administrator may provide that any Company repurchase option or forfeiture rights applicable to any Award shall lapse 100%, and that any Award vesting shall accelerate 100%, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time
and in the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been previously exercised (with respect to Options and SARs) or vested (with respect to other Awards), an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

  
 (c) Merger or Asset Sale. 

 
 (i) Options and SARs. In the event of a merger of
the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, each outstanding Option and SAR shall be assumed or an equivalent option or stock appreciation right substituted by the successor
corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. With respect to Options granted to an Outside Director pursuant to Section 17 that are assumed or substituted for, if following such assumption or substitution the Optionee’s
status as a Director or a director of the successor corporation, as applicable, is terminated other than upon a voluntary resignation by the Optionee, then the Participant shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise the Option as to all of
the Awarded Stock, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. In the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Option or SAR, the Participant shall fully vest in and have the
right to exercise the Option or SAR as to all of the Awarded Stock, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. If an Option or SAR becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the
event of a merger or sale of assets, the Administrator shall notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Option or SAR shall be fully vested and exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the
Option or SAR shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. 
  
 For the purposes of this paragraph, the Option or SAR shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or sale of assets, the option or stock appreciation right confers the right to purchase or receive, for each
Share of Awarded Stock subject to the Option or SAR immediately prior to the merger or sale of assets, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or sale of assets by holders of Common Stock for
each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration
received in the merger or sale or assets is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise


  

 -16- 








 
of the Option or SAR, for each Share of Awarded Stock subject to the Option or SAR, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent
equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or sale of assets. 
  
 (ii) Restricted Stock, Performance Shares, Performance Units and Deferred Stock Units. In the event of a merger of the Company with
or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, each outstanding Restricted Stock, Performance Share, Performance Unit and Deferred Stock Unit Award shall be assumed or an equivalent restricted stock,
performance share, performance unit and deferred stock unit award substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the
Restricted Stock, Performance Share, Performance Unit or Deferred Stock Unit Award, the Participant shall fully vest in the Restricted Stock, Performance Share, Performance Unit or Deferred Stock Unit including as to Shares (or with respect to
Performance Units, the cash equivalent thereof) which would not otherwise be vested. For the purposes of this paragraph, a Restricted Stock, Performance Share, Performance Unit and Deferred Stock Unit Award shall be considered assumed if, following
the merger or sale of assets, the award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share (or with respect to Performance Units, the cash equivalent thereof) subject to the Award immediately prior to the merger or sale of assets, the
consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or sale of assets by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of
consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the merger or sale of assets is not solely common stock of the successor corporation
or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received, for each Share and each unit/right to acquire a Share subject to the Award, to be solely common stock of the successor
corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or sale of assets. 
  
 20. Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Award shall be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting
such Award, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination shall be provided to each Participant within a reasonable time after the date of such grant. 
  
 21. Amendment and Termination of the Plan. 
  
 (a) Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any
time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan. 
  
 (b) Stockholder Approval. The Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws. 
  
 (c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the
Plan shall impair the rights of any Participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company. Termination of the Plan shall not
affect the Administrator’s ability 

  

 -17- 








 
to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination. 
  
 22. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. 
  
 (a) Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued
pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of the Award or the issuance and delivery of such Shares (or with respect to Performance Units, the cash equivalent thereof) shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to
the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. 
  
 (b) Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise or receipt of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising or receiving such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such
exercise or receipt that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required. 
  
 23. Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to
obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder (or with respect to Performance Units, the cash equivalent
thereof), shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares (or with respect to Performance Units, the cash equivalent thereof) as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

  
 24. Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term
of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. 
  
 25. Stockholder Approval. The Plan shall be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the
Plan is adopted by the Board. Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws.
