conditions of the Plan, to Eligible Individuals: Stock Options, Stock Appreciation

Rights, Restricted Shares, Performance Awards, Other Share-Based Awards, and Other Cash-Based Awards. In particular, the Committee will have the authority:

(g)    to determine whether and under what circumstances a Stock Option may be settled in cash, Common
Stock, or Restricted Shares under Section 6.3(d);

an ISO or Nonqualified Stock Option; 
 (i)    to impose a “blackout” period during which Stock
Options and/or Stock Appreciation Rights may not be exercised;

a Participant, as a condition of the granting of any Award, to not sell or otherwise dispose of Shares acquired upon the exercise of an Award for a period of time as determined by the Committee after the date of the acquisition of such Award; 

(k)    to modify, extend, or renew an Award, subject to Section 6.3(g) and
Article XII; and 
 (l)    solely to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, to
determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances to provide loans (which may be on a recourse basis and bear interest at the rate the Committee may determine) to Participants in order to exercise Stock Options. 

Section 3.3    Guidelines. Subject to Article XII, the Committee will have the
authority to adopt, alter, and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines, and practices governing the Plan and perform all acts, including the delegation of its responsibilities (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and not inconsistent with
the Plan), as it may deem advisable; to construe and interpret the Plan, all Awards, and all Award Agreements (and in each case any agreements relating thereto); and to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan. The Committee may correct
any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any agreement 

  
 -7- 













 
relating thereto in the manner and to the extent it deems necessary to effectuate the purpose and intent of the Plan. The Committee may adopt special terms and conditions for Persons who are
residing in, or employed in, or subject to the taxes of, any domestic or foreign jurisdictions to comply with Applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms and conditions of this Section 3.3, no action of the
Committee under this Section 3.3 may materially impair the rights of any Participant under the Plan or any Award without the Participant’s consent. To the extent applicable, the Plan is intended to comply with the
applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3, and the Plan will be limited, construed, and interpreted in a manner so as to comply therewith. 

Section 3.4    Sole Discretion; Decisions Final. Any decision, interpretation, or other action made or taken
by or at the direction of the Company, the Board, or the Committee (or any of their members) arising out of or in connection with the Plan will be within the sole and absolute discretion of all and each of them, as the case may be, and will be

Section 3.5    Designation of Consultants; Delegation of Authority. 

(a)    The Committee may designate employees of the Company and professional advisors to assist the
Committee in the administration of the Plan and may grant authority to officers to grant Awards and execute agreements and other documents on behalf of the Committee, in each case to the extent permitted by Applicable Law. In the event of any
designation of authority hereunder, subject to Applicable Law and any terms and conditions imposed by the Committee in connection with such designation, such designee or designees will have the power and authority to take such actions, exercise such
powers, and make such determinations that are otherwise specifically designated to the Committee hereunder.

counsel, consultant, or agent will be paid by the Company. The Committee, its members, and any Person designated under Section 3.5(a) will not be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the
Plan. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, no officer of the Company or member or former member of the Committee or of the Board will be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award.

 (c)    The Committee may delegate any or all of its powers and duties under the Plan to a subcommittee
of directors or to any officer of the Company, including the power to perform administrative functions and grant Awards, provided that such delegation does not (i) violate Applicable Law, or (ii) result in the loss of an exemption under
Rule 16b-3(d)(1) for Awards granted to Participants subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act in respect of the Company. Upon any such delegation, all references in the Plan to the “Committee,”
shall be deemed to include any subcommittee or officer of the Company to whom such powers have been delegated by the Committee. Any such delegation shall not 

  
 -8- 













 
limit the right of such subcommittee members or such an officer to receive Awards. The Committee may also appoint agents who are not executive officers of the Company or members of the Board to
assist in administering the Plan, provided, however, that such individuals may not be delegated the authority to grant or modify any Awards that will, or may, be settled in Shares. 

Section 3.6    Indemnification. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law and the Certificate of
Incorporation and By Laws of the Company and to the extent not covered by insurance directly insuring such Person, each officer and employee of the Company and each Affiliate and member or former member of the Committee and the Board will be
indemnified and held harmless by the Company against all costs and expenses and liabilities, and advanced amounts necessary to pay the foregoing at the earliest time and to the fullest extent permitted, arising out of any act or omission to act in
connection with the administration of the Plan, except to the extent arising out of such officer’s, employee’s, member’s, or former member’s own fraud or bad faith. Such indemnification will be in addition to any right of
indemnification the employees, officers, directors, or members or former officers, directors, or members may have under Applicable Law or under the Certificate of Incorporation or By Laws of the Company or an Affiliate. Notwithstanding any other
term or condition of the Plan, this indemnification will not apply to the actions or determinations made by an individual with regard to Awards granted to himself or herself. 

ARTICLE IV 
 SHARE
LIMITATION 
 Section 4.1    Shares. 

(a)    Share Limits and Counting. The maximum number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan
may not exceed 19,315,000 Shares (subject to any increase or decrease under this Section 4.1 or Section 4.2) (the “Share Reserve”). The Share Reserve may consist of authorized and
unissued Shares and Shares held in or acquired for the treasury of the Company. The Share Reserve will automatically increase on each January 1 that occurs after the Effective Date, for 10 years, by an amount equal to 3% of the total
number of Shares outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year, or a lesser number as may be determined by the Board. The maximum number of Shares with respect to which ISOs may be granted is 19,315,000 Shares. With respect to Stock
Appreciation Rights settled in Shares, upon settlement, only the number of Shares delivered to a Participant will count against the Share Reserve. If any Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right, or Other Share-Based Award expires, terminates, or is
cancelled for any reason without having been exercised in full, the number of Shares underlying such Award will be added back to the Share Reserve. If any Restricted Shares, Performance Awards, or Other Share-Based Awards denominated in Shares are
forfeited for any reason, the number of Shares underlying such Award will be added back to the Share Reserve. Any Award settled in cash will not count against the Share Reserve. If Shares issuable upon exercise, vesting, or settlement of an Award,
or Shares owned by a Participant (that are not subject to any pledge or other security interest), are surrendered or tendered to the Company in payment of the purchase or exercise price of an Award or any taxes required to be withheld in respect of
an Award, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Plan, such 

  
 -9- 













 
surrendered or tendered Shares will be added back to the Share Reserve. Awards may be granted in assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by an entity acquired
by the Company or with which the Company combines (“Substitute Awards”). Substitute Awards will not count against the Share Reserve; provided that Substitute Awards issued in connection with the assumption of, or in
substitution for, outstanding Stock Options intended to qualify as ISOs will count against the ISO limit above. Subject to applicable stock exchange requirements, available shares under a stockholder-approved plan of an entity acquired by the
Company or with which the Company combines (as appropriately adjusted to reflect such acquisition or transaction) may be used for Awards and will not count against the Share Reserve. 

(b)    Annual Non-Employee Director Award Limitation. The
maximum value of Awards granted during any calendar year to any Non-Employee Director, taken together with any cash fees paid to that Non-Employee Director during the
calendar year and the value of awards granted to the Non-Employee Director under any other compensation plan of the Company or any Affiliate during the calendar year, may not exceed $750,000 in total value
(based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying the Award as of the grant date for Restricted Shares and Other Share-Based Awards, and based on the grant date fair value for accounting purposes for Stock Options and Stock Appreciation
Rights). 
 Section 4.2    Changes. 

(a)    The existence of the Plan and any Awards will not affect in any way the right or power of the Board,
the Committee, or the Stockholders to make or authorize (i) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization, or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company or any
Affiliate, (iii) any issuance of bonds, debentures, or preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Common Stock, (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any Affiliate, (v) any sale or transfer of all or
part of the assets or business of the Company or any Affiliate, or (vi) any other corporate act or proceeding. 

(b)    Subject to Section 11.1: 

(i)    In the event of any change in the outstanding Common Stock or in the capital structure of the
Company by reason of any stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, division, exchange, spin off, extraordinary cash or stock dividend, or other relevant change in capitalization, Awards
will be equitably adjusted or substituted to the extent necessary to preserve the economic intent of such Awards. 

(ii)    Fractional Shares resulting from any adjustment in Awards under this
Section 4.2(b) will be aggregated until, and eliminated at, the time of exercise or payment by rounding down to the nearest whole number. No cash settlements will be required with respect to fractional Shares eliminated by
rounding. Notice of any adjustment will be given by the Committee to each Participant whose Award has been adjusted and such adjustment (whether or not such notice is given) will be effective and binding for all purposes of the Plan.

other term or condition of the Plan, if authorized but previously unissued Shares are issued under the Plan, such Shares may not be issued for a consideration that is less than as permitted under Applicable Law.

and conditions that may apply under Section 6.3(e), to the extent vested, Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Stock Option term by giving written notice of exercise to the Company

Transferable by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and all Stock Options will be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the Participant, except that the Committee may determine at the
time of grant or thereafter that a Nonqualified Stock Option that is otherwise not Transferable under this Section 6.3(e) is Transferable to a Family Member in whole or in part on terms and conditions that are specified by
the Committee. A Nonqualified Stock Option that is Transferred to a Family Member under the preceding sentence (i) may not be subsequently Transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and (ii) remains subject
to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement. Any Shares acquired upon the exercise of a Nonqualified Stock Option by a permissible transferee of a Nonqualified Stock Option or a permissible transferee under a Transfer after the exercise of the
Nonqualified Stock Option will be subject to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement. 
 (f)    To
the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the Common Stock with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by an Eligible Employee during any calendar year under the Plan or any other stock
option plan of the Company, any Subsidiary, or any Parent exceeds $100,000, such Stock Options will be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. In addition, if an Eligible Employee does not remain employed by the Company, any Subsidiary, or any Parent
at all times from the time an ISO is granted until three months before the date of exercise thereof (or such other period as required by Applicable Law), such Stock Option will be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option. Should any term or condition
of the Plan not be necessary for the Stock Options to qualify as ISOs, or should any additional terms and conditions be required, the Committee may amend the Plan accordingly. 

  
 -12- 













 (g)    Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan,
Stock Options will be evidenced by such form of agreement or grant as is approved by the Committee, and the Committee may (i) modify, extend, or renew outstanding Stock Options, and (ii) accept the surrender of outstanding Stock Options
(to the extent not theretofore exercised) and authorize the granting of new Stock Options in substitution therefor (to the extent not theretofore exercised). Notwithstanding any other term or condition of the Plan, except in connection with a
corporate transaction involving the Company in accordance with Section 4.2, the repricing of Stock Options (and Stock Appreciation Rights) is prohibited without prior approval of the Stockholders. For this purpose, a
“repricing” means any of the following (or any other action that has the same effect as any of the following): (A) any action that is treated as a “repricing” under GAAP and (B) repurchasing for cash or cancelling a
Stock Option or a Stock Appreciation Right at a time when its exercise price is greater than the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares in exchange for another Award. A cancellation and exchange under clause (B) would be considered a
“repricing” regardless of whether it is treated as a “repricing” under GAAP and regardless of whether it is voluntary on the part of the Participant. 

(h)    The Committee may provide that a Stock Option include a term or condition whereby the Participant
may elect at any time before the Participant’s Separation from Service to exercise the Stock Option as to any part or all of the Shares subject to the Stock Option before the full vesting of the Stock Option and such Shares will be subject to
the terms and conditions of Article VIII and be treated as Restricted Shares. Unvested Shares so exercised may be subject to a repurchase option in favor of the Company or to any other restriction the Committee may
determine. 
 Section 6.4    Automatic Exercise. The Committee may include a term or condition in an Award
Agreement providing for the automatic exercise of a Nonqualified Stock Option on a cashless basis on the last day of the term of such Stock Option if the Participant has failed to exercise the Nonqualified Stock Option as of such date, with respect
to which the Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying the Nonqualified Stock Option exceeds the exercise price of such Nonqualified Stock Option on the date of expiration of such Stock Option, subject to Section 13.5.

 ARTICLE VII 

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 

Section 7.1    Terms and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights may be issued
either alone or in tandem with Stock Options. Stock Appreciation Rights will be subject to terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, determined by the Committee, and the following: 

(a)    The exercise price per Share subject to a Stock Appreciation Right will be determined by the
Committee at the time of grant; provided that the per Share exercise price of a Stock Appreciation Right will not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the time of grant. 

(b)    The term of each Stock Appreciation Right will be fixed by the Committee, but may not be greater
than 10 years after the date the right is granted. 

  
 -13- 













 (c)    Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in
accordance with this Section 7.1, Stock Appreciation Rights will be exercisable at the time or times and subject to the terms and conditions determined by the Committee at the time of grant. If the Committee provides that
any such right is exercisable subject to certain terms and conditions, the Committee may waive those terms and conditions on the exercisability at any time at or after grant in whole or in part. 

(d)    Subject to whatever installment exercise and waiting period terms and conditions apply under
Section 7.1(c), Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised in whole or in part at any time in accordance with the applicable Award Agreement, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of
Stock Appreciation Rights to be exercised. 
 (e)    Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, a
Participant will be entitled to receive, for each right exercised, up to, but no more than, an amount in cash or Common Stock (as chosen by the Committee) equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date that the right
is exercised over the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date that the right was awarded to the Participant. 

(f)    No Stock Appreciation Rights will be Transferable by the Participant other than by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution, and all such rights will be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the Participant. 

Section 7.2    Automatic Exercise. The Committee may include a term or condition in an Award Agreement
providing for the automatic exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right on a cashless basis on the last day of the term of the Stock Appreciation Right if the Participant has failed to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right as of such date, with respect
to which the Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying the Stock Appreciation Right exceeds the exercise price of such Stock Appreciation Right on the date of expiration of such Stock Appreciation Right, subject to
Section 13.5. 
 ARTICLE VIII 

RESTRICTED SHARES 

Section 8.1    Restricted Shares. The Committee will determine the Eligible Individuals to whom, and the time
or times at which, grants of Restricted Shares will be made, the number of Restricted Shares to be awarded, the price (if any) to be paid by the Participant (subject to Section 8.2), the time or times within which such
Awards will be subject to forfeiture, the vesting schedule and rights to acceleration thereof, and all other terms and conditions of the Awards. 

Section 8.2    Awards and Certificates. Participants selected to receive Restricted Shares will not have any
right with respect to the Award, unless and until the Participant has delivered a fully executed copy of the agreement evidencing the Award to the Company, to the extent required by the Committee, and has otherwise complied with the applicable terms
and conditions of the Award. Further, such Award will be subject to the following: 
 (a)    The purchase
price of Restricted Shares will be fixed by the Committee. Subject to Section 4.3, the purchase price for Restricted Shares may be zero to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, and, to the extent required by Applicable
Law, such purchase price may not be less than par value. 

  
 -14- 













 (b)    Each Participant receiving Restricted Shares will
be issued a stock certificate in respect of the Restricted Shares, unless the Committee elects to use another system, such as book entries by the transfer agent, as evidencing ownership of Restricted Shares. Such certificate will be registered in
the name of the Participant, and will, in addition to any legends required by Applicable Law, bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms and conditions applicable to the Award, substantially in the following form: 

“The anticipation, alienation, attachment, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge of the restricted shares of stock
represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture) of the PowerSchool Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and an award agreement entered into
between the registered owner and the Company dated                      (the “Agreement”). Copies of such Plan and Agreement are on
file at the principal office of the Company.” 
 (c)    If stock certificates are issued in respect
of Restricted Shares, the Committee may require that any stock certificates evidencing such Shares be held in custody by the Company until the restrictions thereon have lapsed, and that, as a condition of any grant of Restricted Shares, the
Participant must deliver a duly signed stock power or other instruments of assignment, each endorsed in blank with a guarantee of signature if deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company, which would permit transfer to the Company of all or a
portion of the Restricted Shares in the event that such Award is forfeited in whole or part. 

Section 8.3    Terms and Conditions. Restricted Shares will be subject to terms and conditions, not
inconsistent with the Plan, determined by the Committee, and the following: 
 (a)    The Participant is
not permitted to Transfer Restricted Shares during the period or periods set by the Committee (the “Restriction Period”) commencing on the date of such Award, as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, and such agreement will
set forth a vesting schedule and any event that would accelerate vesting of the Restricted Shares. Within these limits, based on service, attainment of Performance Goals, or such other factors or criteria as the Committee may determine, the
Committee may condition the grant or provide for the lapse of such restrictions in installments in whole or in part, or may accelerate the vesting of all or any part of any Restricted Shares and waive the deferral terms and conditions for all or any
part of any Restricted Shares. 
 (b)    Except as provided in Section 8.3(a)
and this Section 8.3(b) or as otherwise determined by the Committee, the Participant will have, with respect to Restricted Shares, all of the rights of a Stockholder, including the right to receive dividends, the right to
vote such Restricted Shares, and, subject to and conditioned upon the full vesting of Restricted Shares, the right to tender those Shares. The Committee may determine at the time of grant that the payment of dividends will be deferred until, and
conditioned upon, the expiration of the applicable Restriction Period. 

  
 -15- 













 (c)    If and when the Restriction Period expires
without a prior forfeiture of the Restricted Shares, the certificates for such Shares will be delivered to the Participant. All legends will be removed from said certificates at the time of delivery to the Participant, except as otherwise required
by Applicable Law or other terms and conditions imposed by the Committee. 
 ARTICLE IX 

PERFORMANCE AWARDS 

Section 9.1    Performance Awards. The Committee may grant a Performance Award to a Participant payable upon
the attainment of specific Performance Goals. If the Performance Award is payable in Restricted Shares, such Shares will be transferable to the Participant only upon attainment of the relevant Performance Goal in accordance with
Article VIII. If the Performance Award is payable in cash, it may be paid upon the attainment of the relevant Performance Goals either in cash or in Restricted Shares (based on the then current Fair Market Value of such
Shares). Each Performance Award will be evidenced by an Award Agreement in such form that is not inconsistent with the Plan and that the Committee may approve. The Committee will condition the right to payment of any Performance Award upon the
attainment of Performance Goals established under Section 9.2(c). 

Section 9.2    Terms and Conditions. Performance Awards will be subject to terms and conditions, not
inconsistent with the Plan, determined by the Committee, and the following: 
 (a)    At the expiration
of the applicable Performance Period, the Committee will determine the extent to which the Performance Goals established under Section 9.2(c) are achieved and the percentage of each Performance Award that has been earned.

 (b)    Subject to the applicable Award Agreement and the Plan, Performance Awards may not be
Transferred. 
 (c)    The Committee will establish the Performance Goals for the earning of Performance
Awards based on a Performance Period applicable to each Participant or class of Participants. Such Performance Goals may incorporate terms and conditions for disregarding (or adjusting for) changes in accounting methods, corporate transactions, and
other similar type events or circumstances. 
 (d)    Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the
time of grant, amounts equal to dividends declared during the Performance Period with respect to the number of Shares covered by a Performance Award will not be paid to the Participant. 

(e)    After the Committee’s determination in accordance with
Section 9.2(a), the Company will settle Performance Awards, in such form as determined by the Committee, in an amount equal to such Participant’s earned Performance Awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the
Committee may award an amount less than the earned Performance Awards and subject the payment of all or part of any Performance Award to additional vesting, forfeiture, and deferral terms and conditions. 

  
 -16- 













 (f)    Subject to the applicable Award Agreement and the
Plan, upon a Participant’s Separation from Service for any reason during the Performance Period for a Performance Award, the Performance Award will vest or be forfeited in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Committee at
grant. 
 (g)    Based on service, performance, and any other factors or criteria the Committee may
determine, the Committee may, at or after grant, accelerate the vesting of all or any part of any Performance Award. 
 ARTICLE X

 OTHER SHARE-BASED AND CASH-BASED AWARDS 

Section 10.1    Other Share-Based Awards. The Committee is authorized to grant to Eligible Individuals Other
Share-Based Awards that are payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to Shares, including Shares awarded purely as a bonus and not subject to terms or conditions, Shares in payment of the amounts due
under an incentive or performance plan sponsored or maintained by the Company or an Affiliate, stock equivalent units, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and Awards valued by reference to book value of Shares. Other Share-Based Awards
may be granted either alone or in addition to or in tandem with other Awards. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee has the authority to determine the Eligible Individuals to whom, and the time or times at which, Other
Share-Based Awards will be granted, the number of Shares to be granted under such Awards, and all other terms and conditions of the Awards. 

Section 10.2    Terms and Conditions. Other Share-Based Awards will be subject to terms and conditions, not
inconsistent with the Plan, determined by the Committee, and the following: 
 (a)    Subject to the
applicable Award Agreement and the Plan, Shares subject to Other Share-Based Awards may not be Transferred before the date on which the Shares are issued, or, if later, the date on which any applicable restriction, performance, or deferral period
lapses. 
 (b)    Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of grant, subject to the
applicable Award Agreement and the Plan, the recipient of an Other Share-Based Award will not be entitled to receive, currently or on a deferred basis, dividends or dividend equivalents in respect of the number of Shares covered by the Award. 

(c)    All Other Share-Based Awards and any Shares covered by those awards will vest or be forfeited to the
extent so provided in the Award Agreement. 
 (d)    Common Stock issued on a bonus basis under this
Article IX may be issued for no cash consideration. Common Stock purchased under a purchase right awarded under this Article X will be priced as determined by the Committee. 

  
 -17- 













 Section 10.3    Other Cash-Based Awards. The Committee may
grant Other Cash-Based Awards to Eligible Individuals in amounts, on terms and conditions, and for consideration, including no consideration or such minimum consideration as may be required by Applicable Law. Other Cash-Based Awards may be granted
subject to the satisfaction of vesting terms and conditions or may be awarded purely as a bonus and not subject to terms and conditions, and if subject to vesting, the Committee may accelerate such vesting at any time. 

ARTICLE XI 
 CHANGE
IN CONTROL 
 Section 11.1    Treatment of Awards upon a Change in Control. In the event of a Change in
Control, and except as otherwise determined by the Committee in an Award Agreement, a Participant’s unvested Awards will not vest automatically and will be treated in accordance with one or more of the following methods as determined by the
Committee: 
 (a)    Awards, whether or not then vested, will be continued, assumed, or have new rights
substituted therefor, and restrictions to which Restricted Shares or any other Award granted before the Change in Control are subject will not lapse upon the Change in Control and the Restricted Shares or other Awards will receive the same
distribution as other Common Stock on terms and conditions determined by the Committee; provided that the Committee may decide to award additional Restricted Shares or other Awards in lieu of any cash distribution. 

(b)    The Committee may provide for the purchase of any Awards by the Company or an Affiliate for an
amount of cash equal to the excess (if any) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by such Awards as of the Change in Control, over the aggregate purchase or exercise price of such Awards. 

(c)    The Committee may terminate all outstanding and unexercised Stock Options, Stock Appreciation
Rights, and other Other Share-Based Awards that provide for a Participant-elected exercise, effective as of the Change in Control, by delivering notice of termination to each Participant at least 20 days before the date of consummation of the
Change in Control, in which case during the period from the date on which such notice of termination is delivered to the consummation of the Change in Control, each affected Participant will have the right to exercise in full all of the
Participant’s Awards that are then outstanding (without regard to any terms and conditions on exercisability otherwise contained in the Award Agreements), but any such exercise will be contingent on the occurrence of the Change in Control;
provided that, if the Change in Control does not take place within a specified period after giving such notice for any reason whatsoever, the notice and exercise pursuant thereto will be null and void. 

(d)    The Committee may make any other determination as to the treatment of Awards in connection with a
Change in Control. The treatment of Awards need not be the same for all Participants. Any escrow, holdback, earnout, or similar terms and conditions in the definitive agreements relating to the Change in Control may apply to any payment to the
holders of Awards to the same extent and in the same manner as such terms and conditions apply to the holders of Shares. 

  
 -18- 













 Section 11.2    Change in Control. Unless otherwise
determined by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement or other written agreement with a Participant approved by the Committee, a “Change in Control” means: 

(a)    any “person,” as that term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act
(other than the Company, any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under any employee benefit plan of the Company, or any company owned, directly or indirectly, by the Stockholders in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of
Common Stock), becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 50% of the combined voting power
of the Company’s then outstanding securities, other than pursuant to a Business Combination that does not constitute a Change in Control under such Section 11.2(c); 

(b)    during any period of 24 consecutive calendar months, individuals who were directors serving on the
Board on the first day of such period (the “Incumbent Directors”) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director after the first day of such
period whose election, or nomination for election, by the Stockholders was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors will be considered as though such individual were an Incumbent Director, but excluding, for purposes of
this proviso, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened proxy contest with respect to election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or
on behalf of a “person” (as used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), in each case, other than the Board; 

(c)    consummation of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or other business combination (any of the
foregoing, a “Business Combination”) of the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company with any other corporation, in any case with respect to which the Company voting securities outstanding immediately before such
Business Combination do not, immediately after such Business Combination, continue to represent (either by remaining outstanding or being converted into voting securities of the Company or any ultimate parent thereof) more than 50% of the then
outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Company (or its successor) or any ultimate parent thereof after the Business Combination; or 

(d)    a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the consummation of a sale or disposition by
the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets other than the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a Person or Persons who beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of
the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Company at the time of the sale. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing terms and conditions
of this definition, if a Change in Control constitutes a payment event with respect to any Award (or any portion of an Award) that provides for the deferral of compensation that is subject to Section 409A of the Code, a Change in Control will
not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of such Award (or portion thereof) unless such transaction or series of related transactions also constitutes a “change in control event” with respect to the Company for purposes of
Section 409A of the Code. 

  
 -19- 













 Section 11.3    Initial Public Offering Not a Change in
Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms and conditions of the definition of Change in Control, the occurrence of the Registration Date will not be considered a Change in Control. 

ARTICLE XII 

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 

Section 12.1    Amendment and Termination of Plan. Subject to Section 12.3, the
Board may amend or terminate the Plan at any time; provided, however, that no amendment will be effective unless approved by the Stockholders to the extent Stockholder approval is necessary to satisfy any Applicable Laws. 

Section 12.2    Amendment of Awards. Subject to Section 12.3, the Committee may
amend any Award at any time; provided, however, that no amendment will be effective unless approved by the Stockholders to the extent Stockholder approval is necessary to satisfy any Applicable Laws. 

Section 12.3    No Material Impairment of Rights. Rights under any Award granted before amendment or
termination of the Plan or amendment of an Award may not be materially impaired by any such amendment or termination unless the Participant consents thereto. 

ARTICLE XIII 

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS 

Section 13.1    Legend. The Committee may require each person receiving Shares under the Plan to represent to
and agree with the Company in writing that the Participant is acquiring the Shares without a view to distribution thereof. In addition to any legend required by the Plan, the certificates for Shares issued under the Plan may include any legend that
the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on Transfer. All certificates for Shares delivered under the Plan will be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under Applicable
Law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. 

Section 13.2    Book Entry. Notwithstanding any other term or condition of the Plan, the Company may elect to
satisfy any requirement under the Plan for the delivery of Share certificates through the use of another system, such as book entry or electronically. 

Section 13.3    Other Plans. Nothing contained in the Plan prevents the Board from adopting other or
additional compensation arrangements, subject to Stockholder approval if such approval is required, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. 

Section 13.4    No Right to Employment, Consultancy, or Directorship. Neither the Plan nor the grant of any
Award gives any Person any right with respect to continuance of employment, consultancy, or directorship by the Company or any Affiliate, nor does the Plan or the grant of any 

  
 -20- 













 
Award cause any limitation in any way on the right of the Company or any Affiliate by which an employee is employed or a Consultant or Non-Employee
Director is retained to terminate such employment, consultancy, or directorship at any time. 

Section 13.5    Withholding for Taxes. The Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be, has the right to
deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to a Participant any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by Applicable Law to be withheld (a) with respect to the vesting of or other lapse of restrictions applicable to an Award,
(b) upon the issuance of any Shares upon the exercise of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right, or (c) otherwise due in connection with an Award. At the time the tax obligation becomes due, the Participant must pay to the Company or
the Affiliate, as the case may be, any amount that the Company or Affiliate determines to be necessary to satisfy the tax obligation. The Company or the Affiliate, as the case may be, may require or permit the Participant to satisfy the tax
obligation, in whole or in part, (i) by causing the Company or Affiliate to withhold up to the maximum required number of Shares otherwise issuable to the Participant as may be necessary to satisfy such tax obligation or (ii) by delivering
to the Company or Affiliate Shares already owned by the Participant. The Shares so delivered or withheld must have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the tax obligation. The Fair Market Value of the Shares used to satisfy the tax obligation
will be determined by the Company or the Affiliate as of the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. To the extent applicable, a Participant may satisfy his or her tax obligation only with Shares that are not subject to any
repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting, or other similar requirements. Any fraction of a Share required to satisfy tax obligations will be disregarded and the amount due must be paid instead in cash by the Participant. 

Section 13.6    No Assignment of Benefits. No Award or other benefit payable under the Plan may, except as
otherwise specifically provided by Applicable Law or permitted by the Committee, be Transferable in any manner, and any attempt to Transfer any such benefit will be void, and any such benefit will not in any manner be liable for or subject to the
debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements, or torts of any Person who will be entitled to such benefit, nor will it be subject to attachment or legal process for or against such Person. 

Section 13.7    Listing and Other Terms and Conditions. 

(a)    Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, as long as the Common Stock is listed on a national
stock exchange or system sponsored by a national securities association, the issuance of Shares under an Award will be conditioned upon such Shares being listed on such exchange or system. The Company will have no obligation to issue such Shares
unless and until such Shares are so listed, and the right to exercise any Stock Option or other Award with respect to such Shares will be suspended until such listing has been effected. 

(b)    If at any time counsel to the Company is of the opinion that any sale or delivery of Shares under an
Award is or may be unlawful or result in the imposition of excise taxes on the Company, the Company will have no obligation to make such sale or delivery, or to make any application or to effect or to maintain any qualification or registration under
the Securities Act or otherwise, with respect to Shares or Awards, and the right to exercise any Stock Option or other Award will be suspended until, in the opinion of said counsel, such sale or delivery would be lawful or would not result in the
imposition of excise taxes on the Company. 

  
 -21- 













 (c)    Upon termination of any period of suspension
under this Section 13.7, any Award affected by such suspension that has not expired or terminated will be reinstated as to all Shares available before such suspension and as to Shares that would otherwise have become
available during the period of such suspension, but no such suspension will extend the term of any Award. 

(d)    A Participant will be required to supply the Company with certificates, representations, and
information that the Company requests and otherwise cooperate with the Company in obtaining any listing, registration, qualification, exemption, consent, and approval the Company determines necessary or appropriate. 

Section 13.8    Stockholders Agreement and Other Requirements. Notwithstanding any other term or condition of
the Plan, as a condition to the receipt of Shares under an Award, to the extent required by the Committee, the Participant must execute and deliver a Stockholder’s agreement and such other documentation that sets forth certain restrictions on
transferability of the Shares acquired upon exercise or purchase, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee may establish. The Company may require, as a condition of exercise, the Participant to become a party to an existing Stockholders
agreement (or other agreement). Any payment of cash or issuance or transfer of Shares or other property to the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative under the Plan will, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all
claims of such Persons under the plan, and the Company may require the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative, as a condition to such payment or issuance or transfer, to execute a general release of all claims in favor of the
Company and each Affiliate in such form as the Company may determine. 
 Section 13.9    Governing Law. The
Plan and actions taken in connection with the Plan will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws (whether of the State of Delaware or any other
jurisdiction). 
 Section 13.10    Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Any suit, action, or proceeding with
respect to the Plan or any Award or Award Agreement, or any judgment entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in respect of the Plan or any Award or Award Agreement, will be resolved only in the courts of the State of Delaware or the United
States District Court for the District of Delaware and the appellate courts having jurisdiction of appeals in such courts. In that context, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Company and each Participant irrevocably
and unconditionally (a) submits in any proceeding relating to the Plan or any Award or Award Agreement, or for the recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of the Plan or any Award or Award Agreement (a
“Proceeding”), to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and the appellate courts having jurisdiction of appeals in such courts, and agrees
that all claims in respect of any Proceeding will be heard and determined in such state court or, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, in such federal court, (b) consents that any Proceeding may and will be brought in such courts and
waives any objection that the Company or the Participant may have at any time after the Effective Date to the venue or jurisdiction of any Proceeding in any such court or that the Proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to
plead or claim the 

  
 -22- 













 
same, (c) waives all right to trial by jury in any Proceeding (whether based on contract, tort, or otherwise) arising out of or relating to the Plan or any Award or Award Agreement,
(d) agrees that service of process in any Proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy of such process by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such party, in the case of a Participant, at
the Participant’s address shown in the books and records of the Company or, in the case of the Company, at the Company’s principal offices, attention General Counsel, and (e) agrees that nothing in the Plan will affect the right to
effect service of process in any other manner permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware. 

Section 13.11    Other Benefits. No Award will be considered compensation for purposes of computing benefits
under any retirement plan of the Company or any Affiliate or affect any benefit under any other benefit plan now or subsequently in effect under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to the level of compensation. 

Section 13.12    Costs. The Company will bear all expenses associated with administering the Plan, including
expenses of issuing Common Stock under Awards. 
 Section 13.13    No Right to Same Benefits. The terms and
conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each Participant, and Awards to individual Participants need not be the same in subsequent years (if granted at all). 

Section 13.14    Death; Disability. The Committee may require the transferee of a Participant to supply it
with written notice of the Participant’s death or Disability and to supply it with a copy of the will (in the case of the Participant’s death) or such other evidence as the Committee deems necessary to establish the validity of the
transfer of an Award. The Committee may also require the agreement of the transferee to be bound by the Plan. 

Section 13.15    Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. All elections and transactions under
the Plan by Persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act involving Shares are intended to comply with any applicable exemptive condition under Rule 16b-3. The Committee may establish and adopt
written administrative guidelines, designed to facilitate compliance with Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, as it may deem necessary or proper for the administration and operation of the Plan and the transaction of business thereunder. 

Section 13.16    Section 409A. The Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A and
will be limited, construed, and interpreted in accordance with such intent. To the extent that any Award is subject to Section 409A, it will be paid in a manner that complies with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Plan, any Plan provision that is inconsistent with Section 409A will be deemed to be amended to comply with Section 409A and to the extent such provision cannot be amended to comply, such provision will be null and void. The Company will
have no liability to a Participant, or any other party, if an Award that is intended to be exempt from or compliant with Section 409A is not so exempt or compliant, or for any action taken by the Committee or the Company and, in the event that
any amount or benefit under the Plan becomes subject to penalties under Section 409A, responsibility for payment of such penalties will rest solely with the affected Participants and not with the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision in
the Plan or any Award Agreement, any payment(s) of “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A) that are otherwise required to be made under 

  
 -23- 













 
the Plan to a “specified employee” (as defined under Section 409A) as a result of such employee’s separation from service (other than a payment that is not subject to
Section 409A) will be delayed for the first six months after such separation from service and will instead be paid (in a manner set forth in the Award Agreement) upon expiration of such delay period (or, if earlier, the date of death of the
specified employee). All installment payments under the Plan will be deemed separate payments for purposes of Section 409A. 

Section 13.17    California Participants. The Plan is intended to comply with Section 25102(o) of the
California Corporations Code, to the extent applicable. In that regard, to the extent required by Section 25102(o), (a) the terms and conditions of any Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, to the extent vested and exercisable upon
a Participant’s Separation from Service, will include any minimum exercise periods after Separation from Service required by Section 25102(o) and (b) any repurchase right of the Company or any Affiliate will include a minimum 90-day notice requirement. Any Plan term that is inconsistent with Section 25102(o) will, without further act or amendment by the Company or the Board, be reformed to comply with the requirements of
Section 25102(o). 
 Section 13.18    Successor and Assigns. The Plan will be binding on all successors
and permitted assigns of a Participant, including the estate of such Participant and the executor, administrator, or trustee of such estate. 

Section 13.19    Severability of Terms and Conditions. If any term or condition of the Plan is held invalid or
unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect any other term or condition of the Plan, and the Plan will be construed and enforced as if such term or condition had not been included. 

Section 13.20    Payments to Minors, Etc. Any benefit payable to or for the benefit of a minor, an incompetent
Person, or other Person incapable of receipt thereof will be considered paid when paid to such Person’s guardian or to the party providing or reasonably appearing to provide for the care of such Person, and such payment will fully discharge the
obligations of the Committee, the Board, the Company, all Affiliates, and their employees, agents, and representatives with respect thereto. 

Section 13.21    Lock-Up Agreement. As a condition to the grant of an
Award, if requested by the Company and the lead underwriter of any public offering of Common Stock (the “Lead Underwriter”), a Participant must irrevocably agree not to sell, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase, transfer
the economic risk of ownership in, make any short sale of, pledge or otherwise transfer or dispose of, any interest in any Common Stock or any securities convertible into, derivative of, or exchangeable or exercisable for, or any other rights to
purchase or acquire Common Stock (except Common Stock included in such public offering or acquired on the public market after such offering) during such period of time after the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under
the Securities Act that the Lead Underwriter may specify (the “Lock-Up Period”). Each Participant must sign such documents as may be requested by the Lead Underwriter to effect the foregoing.
The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to Common Stock acquired under an Award until the end of such Lock-Up Period.

 Section 13.22    Separation from Service for Cause; Clawbacks;
Detrimental Conduct. 
 (a)    The Company may cancel any unvested Awards if the Participant incurs a
Separation from Service for Cause. 
 (b)    All awards, amounts, or benefits received or outstanding
under the Plan will be subject to clawback, cancellation, recoupment, rescission, payback, reduction, or other similar action in accordance with any Company clawback or similar policy or any Applicable Law related to such actions. A
Participant’s acceptance of an Award will constitute the Participant’s acknowledgement of and consent to the Company’s application, implementation, and enforcement of any applicable Company clawback or similar policy that may apply to
the Participant, whether adopted before or after the Effective Date, and any Applicable Law relating to clawback, cancellation, recoupment, rescission, payback, or reduction of compensation, and the Participant’s agreement that the Company may
take any actions that may be necessary to effectuate any such policy or Applicable Law, without further consideration or action. 

(c)    Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, notwithstanding any other term or condition of the
Plan, if a Participant engages in Detrimental Conduct, whether during the Participant’s service or after the Participant’s Separation from Service, in addition to any other penalties or restrictions that may apply under the Plan,
Applicable Law, or otherwise, the Participant must forfeit or pay to the Company the following: 

(i)    any and all outstanding Awards granted to the Participant, including Awards that have become vested
or exercisable; 
 (ii)    any cash or Shares received by the Participant in connection with the Plan
within the 36-month period immediately before the date the Participant engaged in Detrimental Conduct; and 

(iii)    the profit realized by the Participant from the sale, or other disposition for consideration, of
any Shares received by the Participant under the Plan within the 36-month period immediately before the date the Participant engaged in Detrimental Conduct. 

Section 13.23    Data Protection. A Participant’s acceptance of an Award will be deemed to constitute the
Participant’s acknowledgement of and consent to the collection and processing of personal data relating to the Participant so that the Company and the Affiliates can fulfill their obligations and exercise their rights under the Plan and
generally administer and manage the Plan. This data will include data about participation in the Plan and Shares offered or received, purchased, or sold under the Plan and other appropriate financial and other data (such as the date on which the
Awards were granted) about the Participant and the Participant’s participation in the Plan. 

Section 13.24    Unfunded Plan. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive
and deferred compensation. With respect to any payment as to which a Participant has a fixed and vested interest but that is not yet made to a Participant by the Company, nothing in the Plan gives any Participant any right that is greater than the
rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. The grant of an Award will not require a segregation of any of the Company’s assets for satisfaction of the Company’s payment obligation under any Award.
