 ARTICLE ONE 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
  

	I.	PURPOSE OF THE PLAN 

 This
2010 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan is intended to promote the interests of Tripwire, Inc., a Delaware corporation, by providing eligible persons in the Corporation’s employ or service with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest,
or otherwise increase their proprietary interest, in the Corporation as an incentive for them to continue in such employ or service. 
 Capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the attached Appendix. 
  

	II.	STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN 

 A.
The Plan shall be divided into two (2) separate equity programs: 
 (i) the Option Grant Program under which
eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be granted options to purchase shares of Common Stock, and 
 (ii) the Stock Issuance Program under which eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be issued shares of Common Stock directly, either through the immediate purchase of such
shares or as a bonus for services rendered the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary). 
 B. The provisions of Articles One
and Four shall apply to both equity programs under the Plan and shall accordingly govern the interests of all persons under the Plan. 
  

	III.	ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN 


A. The Plan shall be administered by the Board. However, any or all administrative functions otherwise exercisable by the Board may be
delegated to the Committee. Members of the Committee shall serve for such period of time as the Board may determine and shall be subject to removal by the Board at any time. The Board may also at any time terminate the functions of the Committee and
reassume all powers and authority previously delegated to the Committee. 

  
 PAGE 1









 B. The Plan Administrator shall have full power and authority (subject to the provisions of
the Plan) to establish such rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate for proper administration of the Plan and to make such determinations under, and issue such interpretations of, the Plan and any outstanding options or stock issuances
thereunder as it may deem necessary or advisable. Decisions of the Plan Administrator shall be final and binding on all parties who have an interest in the Plan or any option grant or stock issuance thereunder. 

 

	IV.	ELIGIBILITY 

 A. The
persons eligible to participate in the Plan are as follows: 
 (i) Employees, 

(ii) non-employee members of the Board or the non-employee members of the board of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary,
and 
 (iii) consultants and other independent advisors who provide services to the Corporation (or any Parent or
Subsidiary); provided, however, that consultants and advisors who are residents of the State of New Jersey will not be eligible to participate in the Plan. 
 B. The Plan Administrator shall have full authority to determine, (i) with respect to the grants made under the Option Grant Program, which eligible persons are to receive such grants, the time or
times when those grants are to be made, the number of shares to be covered by each such grant, the status of the granted option as either an Incentive Option or a Non-Statutory Option, the time or times when each option is to become exercisable, the
vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the option shares and the maximum term for which the option is to remain outstanding, and (ii) with respect to stock issuances made under the Stock Issuance Program, which eligible persons are to receive
such issuances, the time or times when those issuances are to be made, the number of shares to be issued to each Participant, the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the issued shares and the consideration to be paid by the Participant for such
shares. The Plan Administrator shall have full authority to grant Options pursuant to the Option Grant Program and issue shares of stock pursuant to the Stock Issuance Program in compensatory circumstances, however, no options will be granted
pursuant to the Option Grant Program and no shares will be issued pursuant to the Stock Issuance Program with a capital-raising purpose. 

  
 PAGE 2









 C. The Plan Administrator shall have the absolute discretion either to grant options in
accordance with the Option Grant Program or to effect stock issuances in accordance with the Stock Issuance Program. 
  

	V.	STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN 


A. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued over the term of the Plan shall be (i) up to
798,667 authorized shares available for issuance, and not issued or subject to outstanding awards, under the Corporation’s 2000 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the “Prior Plan”) on the date the Plan is adopted by the Board (the
“New Plan Adoption Date”) plus (ii) up to an additional 15,876,381 shares subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plan on the New Plan Adoption Date that cease to be subject to such awards following the New Plan
Adoption Date (other than by reason of exercise or settlement of the awards to the extent they are exercised for or settled in shares), which shares shall cease, as of such date, to be available for grant and issuance under the Prior Plan, and shall
instead be available for issuance under the Plan. 
 B. Shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options shall be available
for subsequent issuance under the Plan to the extent (i) the options expire or terminate for any reason prior to exercise in full or (ii) the options are cancelled in accordance with the cancellation-regrant provisions of Article Two.
Unvested shares issued under the Plan and subsequently repurchased by the Corporation, at the option exercise or direct issue price paid per share, pursuant to the Corporation’s repurchase rights under the Plan shall be added back to the number
of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan and shall accordingly be available for reissuance through one or more subsequent option grants or direct stock issuances under the Plan. 

C. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares,
exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable
under the Plan and (ii) the number and/or class of securities and the exercise price per share in effect under each outstanding option in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of benefits thereunder. The adjustments determined by the
Plan Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive. In no event shall any such adjustments be made in connection with the conversion of one or more outstanding shares of the Corporation’s preferred stock into shares of Common Stock.

 ARTICLE TWO 
 OPTION GRANT PROGRAM 
  

	I.	OPTION TERMS 

 Each option
shall be evidenced by one or more documents in the form approved by the Plan Administrator; provided, however, that each such document shall comply with the terms specified below. Each document evidencing an Incentive Option shall, in
addition, be subject to the provisions of the Plan applicable to such options. 
  

	 	A.	Exercise Price. 


1. The exercise price per share shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator but shall not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the
Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date. 
 2. The exercise price shall become immediately due upon
exercise of the option and shall, subject to the provisions of Section I of Article Four and the documents evidencing the option, be payable in cash or check made payable to the Corporation. Should the Common Stock be registered under
Section 12 of the 1934 Act at the time the option is exercised, then the exercise price may also be paid as follows: 
 (i) in shares of Common Stock held for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation’s earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise
Date, or 
 (ii) to the extent the option is exercised for vested shares, through a special sale and remittance
procedure pursuant to which the Optionee shall concurrently provide irrevocable instructions (A) to a Corporation-designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, out of the sale
proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable Federal, state and local income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation by
reason of such exercise and (B) to the Corporation to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale. 
 Except to the extent such sale and remittance procedure is utilized, payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made on the Exercise Date. 

  
 PAGE 4









  

	 	B.	Exercise and Term of Options. 

 Each option shall be exercisable at such time or times, during such period and for such number of shares as shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the documents evidencing the
option grant. However, no option shall have a term in excess of ten (10) years measured from the option grant date. 
  

	 	C.	Effect of Termination of Service. 

 1. The following provisions shall govern the exercise of any options held by the Optionee at the time of cessation of Service or death: 

(i) Should the Optionee cease to remain in Service for any reason other than death, Disability or Misconduct, then the
Optionee shall have a period of three (3) months following the date of such cessation of Service during which to exercise each outstanding option held by such Optionee. 

(ii) Should Optionee’s Service terminate by reason of Disability, then the Optionee shall have a period of twelve
(12) months following the date of such cessation of Service during which to exercise each outstanding option held by such Optionee. 
 (iii) If the Optionee dies while holding an outstanding option, then the personal representative of his or her estate or the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to the
Optionee’s will or the laws of inheritance or the Optionee’s designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of that option shall have a twelve (12)-month period following the date of the Optionee’s death to exercise such option. 

(iv) Under no circumstances, however, shall any such option be exercisable after the specified expiration of the option
term. 
 (v) During the applicable post-Service exercise period, the option may not be exercised in the aggregate
for more than the number of vested shares for which the option is exercisable on the date of the Optionee’s cessation of Service. Upon the expiration of the applicable exercise period or (if earlier) upon the expiration of the option term, the
option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any vested shares for which the option has not been exercised. However, the option shall, immediately upon the Optionee’s cessation of Service, terminate and cease to be outstanding with
respect to any and all option shares for which the option is not otherwise at the time exercisable or in which the Optionee is not otherwise at that time vested. 

  
 PAGE 5









 (vi) Should Optionee’s Service be terminated for Misconduct or should
Optionee otherwise engage in Misconduct while holding one or more outstanding options under the Plan, then all those options shall terminate immediately and cease to remain outstanding. 

2. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable either at the time an option is granted or at any time while the option
remains outstanding, to: 
 (i) extend the period of time for which the option is to remain exercisable following
Optionee’s cessation of Service or death from the limited period otherwise in effect for that option to such greater period of time as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate, but in no event beyond the expiration of the option term,
and/or 
 (ii) permit the option to be exercised, during the applicable post-Service exercise period, not only
with respect to the number of vested shares of Common Stock for which such option is exercisable at the time of the Optionee’s cessation of Service but also with respect to one or more additional installments in which the Optionee would have
vested under the option had the Optionee continued in Service. 
  

	 	D.	Stockholder Rights. 


The holder of an option shall have no stockholder rights with respect to the shares subject to the option until such person shall have
exercised the option, paid the exercise price and become the recordholder of the purchased shares. 
  

	 	E.	Unvested Shares. 


The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion to grant options which are exercisable for unvested shares of Common Stock. Should the
Optionee cease Service while holding such unvested shares, the Corporation shall have the right to repurchase, at the exercise price paid per share, any or all of those unvested shares. The terms upon which such repurchase right shall be exercisable
(including the period and procedure for exercise and the appropriate vesting schedule for the purchased shares) shall be established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such repurchase right. 

 

	 	F.	First Refusal Rights. 

 Until such time as the Common Stock is first registered under Section 12 of the 1934 Act, the Corporation shall have the right of first refusal with respect to any proposed disposition by the
Optionee (or any successor in interest) of any shares of 

  
 PAGE 6









 
Common Stock issued under the Plan. Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing
such right. 
  

	 	G.	Limited Transferability of Options. 

 An Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee during his or her lifetime and shall not be assignable or transferable other than by will or by the laws of inheritance following the
Optionee’s death. A Non-Statutory Option may be assigned in whole or in part during the Optionee’s lifetime to one or more members of the Optionee’s family or to a trust established exclusively for one or more such family members or
to Optionee’s former spouse, to the extent such assignment is in connection with the Optionee’s estate plan or pursuant to a domestic relations order. The assigned portion may only be exercised by the person or persons who acquire a
proprietary interest in the Non-Statutory Option pursuant to the assignment. The terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for the option immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such
documents issued to the assignee as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionee may also designate one or more persons as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of his or her outstanding options under the Plan,
and those options shall, in accordance with such designation, automatically be transferred to such beneficiary or beneficiaries upon the Optionee’s death while holding those options. Such beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the transferred
options subject to all the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement evidencing each such transferred option, including (without limitation) the limited time period during which the option may be exercised following the Optionee’s death.

  

	II.	INCENTIVE OPTIONS 

 The
terms specified below shall be applicable to all Incentive Options. Except as modified by the provisions of this Section II, all the provisions of Articles One, Two and Four shall be applicable to Incentive Options. Options which are specifically
designated as Non-Statutory Options shall not be subject to the terms of this Section II. 
  

	 	A.	Eligibility. 


Incentive Options may only be granted to Employees. 
  

	 	B.	Exercise Price. 


The exercise price per share shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on
the option grant date. 

  
 PAGE 7









  

	 	C.	Dollar Limitation. 


The aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) for which one or
more options granted to any Employee under the Plan (or any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) may for the first time become exercisable as Incentive Options during any one (1) calendar year shall not exceed the
sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). To the extent the Employee holds two (2) or more such options which become exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year, the foregoing limitation on the exercisability of such options
as Incentive Options shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such options are granted. 
  

	 	D.	10% Stockholder. 


If any Employee to whom an Incentive Option is granted is a 10% Stockholder, then the exercise price per share shall not be less than one
hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date, and the option term shall not exceed five (5) years measured from such grant date. 

 

	III.	CORPORATE TRANSACTION 

 A.
The shares subject to each option outstanding under the Plan at the time of a Corporate Transaction shall automatically vest in full so that each such option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Corporate Transaction, become
exercisable for all of the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to that option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock. However, the shares subject to an outstanding option shall not
vest on such an accelerated basis if and to the extent: (i) such option is assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in the Corporate Transaction and any repurchase rights of the Corporation with respect to the unvested option
shares are concurrently assigned to such successor corporation (or parent thereof) or (ii) such option is to be replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread existing on the unvested option
shares at the time of the Corporate Transaction and provides for subsequent payout in accordance with the same vesting schedule applicable to those unvested option shares or (iii) the acceleration of such option is subject to other limitations
imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time of the option grant. 
 B. All outstanding repurchase rights shall also terminate
automatically, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, in the event of any Corporate Transaction, except to the extent: (i) those repurchase rights are assigned to the successor
corporation (or parent thereof) in 

  
 PAGE 8









 
connection with such Corporate Transaction or (ii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time the repurchase right is issued.

 C. Immediately following the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, all outstanding options shall terminate and cease to
be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof). 
 D. Each option which is
assumed in connection with a Corporate Transaction shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such
Corporate Transaction, had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to (i) the number and class of securities available for issuance under the Plan following the
consummation of such Corporate Transaction and (ii) the exercise price payable per share under each outstanding option, provided the aggregate exercise price payable for such securities shall remain the same. To the extent the actual
holders of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Corporate Transaction, the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption of the outstanding options
under this Plan, substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Corporate Transaction. 

E. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable either at the time the option is granted or at any time while the option
remains outstanding, to structure one or more options so that those options shall automatically accelerate and vest in full (and any repurchase rights of the Corporation with respect to the unvested shares subject to those options shall immediately
terminate) upon the occurrence of a Corporate Transaction, whether or not those options are to be assumed in the Corporate Transaction. 
 F. The Plan Administrator shall also have full power and authority, exercisable either at the time the option is granted or at any time while the option remains outstanding, to structure such option so
that the shares subject to that option will automatically vest on an accelerated basis should the Optionee’s Service terminate by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months)
following the effective date of any Corporate Transaction in which the option is assumed and the repurchase rights applicable to those shares do not otherwise terminate. Any option so accelerated shall remain exercisable for the fully-vested option
shares until the expiration or sooner termination of the option term. In addition, the Plan Administrator may provide that one or more of the Corporation’s 

  
 PAGE 9









 
outstanding repurchase rights with respect to shares held by the Optionee at the time of such Involuntary Termination shall immediately terminate on an accelerated basis, and the shares subject
to those terminated rights shall accordingly vest at that time. 
 G. The portion of any Incentive Option accelerated in
connection with a Corporate Transaction shall remain exercisable as an Incentive Option only to the extent the applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar limitation is not exceeded. To the extent such dollar limitation is exceeded, the accelerated
portion of such option shall be exercisable as a Non-Statutory Option under the Federal tax laws. 
 H. The grant of options
under the Plan shall in no way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its
business or assets. 
  

	IV.	CANCELLATION AND REGRANT OF OPTIONS 

 The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to effect, at any time and from time to time, the cancellation of any or all outstanding options under the Plan and to grant in substitution therefor new
options covering the same or different number of shares of Common Stock but with an exercise price per share based on the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the new option grant date. 

ARTICLE THREE 
 STOCK ISSUANCE PROGRAM 
  

	I.	STOCK ISSUANCE TERMS 


Shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program through direct and immediate issuances without any intervening
option grants. Each such stock issuance shall be evidenced by a Stock Issuance Agreement which complies with the terms specified below. 
  

	 	A.	Purchase Price. 


1. The purchase price per share shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator but shall not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the
Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the issue date. 
 2. Subject to the provisions of Section I of Article Four,
shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program for any of the following items of consideration which the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate in each individual instance: 

(i) cash or check made payable to the Corporation, or 

  
 PAGE 10









 (ii) past services rendered to the Corporation (or any Parent or
Subsidiary). 
  

	 	B.	Vesting Provisions. 


1. Shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program may, in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be fully and
immediately vested upon issuance or may vest in one or more installments over the Participant’s period of Service or upon attainment of specified performance objectives. 
 2. Any new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including money paid other than as a regular cash dividend) which the Participant may have the right to receive with respect to the
Participant’s unvested shares of Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the
Corporation’s receipt of consideration shall be issued subject to (i) the same vesting requirements applicable to the Participant’s unvested shares of Common Stock and (ii) such escrow arrangements as the Plan Administrator shall
deem appropriate. 
 3. The Participant shall have full stockholder rights with respect to any shares of Common Stock issued to
the Participant under the Stock Issuance Program, whether or not the Participant’s interest in those shares is vested. Accordingly, the Participant shall have the right to vote such shares and to receive any regular cash dividends paid on such
shares. 
 4. Should the Participant cease to remain in Service while holding one or more unvested shares of Common Stock issued
under the Stock Issuance Program or should the performance objectives not be attained with respect to one or more such unvested shares of Common Stock, then those shares shall be immediately surrendered to the Corporation for cancellation, and the
Participant shall have no further stockholder rights with respect to those shares. To the extent the surrendered shares were previously issued to the Participant for consideration paid in cash or cash equivalent (including the Participant’s
purchase-money indebtedness), the Corporation shall repay to the Participant the cash consideration paid for the surrendered shares and shall cancel the unpaid principal balance of any outstanding purchase-money note of the Participant attributable
to such surrendered shares. 

  
 PAGE 11









 5. The Plan Administrator may in its discretion waive the surrender and cancellation of one
or more unvested shares of Common Stock (or other assets attributable thereto) which would otherwise occur upon the non-completion of the vesting schedule applicable to those shares. Such waiver shall result in the immediate vesting of the
Participant’s interest in the shares of Common Stock as to which the waiver applies. Such waiver may be effected at any time, whether before or after the Participant’s cessation of Service or the attainment or non-attainment of the
applicable performance objectives. 
  

	 	C.	First Refusal Rights. 

 Until such time as the Common Stock is first registered under Section 12 of the 1934 Act, the Corporation shall have the right of first refusal with respect to any proposed disposition by the
Participant (or any successor in interest) of any shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program. Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in
the document evidencing such right. 
  

	II.	CORPORATE TRANSACTION 

 A.
Upon the occurrence of a Corporate Transaction, all outstanding repurchase rights under the Stock Issuance Program shall terminate automatically, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full,
except to the extent: (i) those repurchase rights are assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with such Corporate Transaction or (ii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed by the
Plan Administrator at the time the repurchase right is issued. 
 B. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary
authority, exercisable either at the time the unvested shares are issued or any time while the Corporation’s repurchase rights with respect to those shares remain outstanding, to provide that those rights shall automatically terminate on an
accelerated basis, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest, in the event the Participant’s Service should subsequently terminate by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period
(not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of any Corporate Transaction in which those repurchase rights are assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof). 

 

	III.	SHARE ESCROW/LEGENDS 


Unvested shares may, in the Plan Administrator’s discretion, be held in escrow by the Corporation until the Participant’s
interest in such shares vests or may be issued directly to the Participant with restrictive legends on the certificates evidencing those unvested shares. 

  
 PAGE 12









 ARTICLE FOUR 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  

	I.	FINANCING 

 The Plan
Administrator may permit any Optionee or Participant to pay the option exercise price under the Option Grant Program or the purchase price for shares issued under the Stock Issuance Program by delivering a full-recourse, interest bearing promissory
note payable in one or more installments and secured by property other than the purchased shares. In no event, however, may the maximum credit available to the Optionee or Participant exceed the sum of (i) the aggregate option exercise price or
purchase price payable for the purchased shares (less the par value of those shares) plus (ii) any Federal, state and local income and employment tax liability incurred by the Optionee or the Participant in connection with the option exercise
or share purchase. 
  

	II.	EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF PLAN 

 A. The Plan shall become effective when adopted by the Board, but no option granted under the Plan may be exercised, and no shares shall be issued under the Plan, until the Plan is approved by the
Corporation’s stockholders. If such stockholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months after the date of the Board’s adoption of the Plan, then all options previously granted under the Plan shall terminate and cease to be
outstanding, and no further options shall be granted and no shares shall be issued under the Plan. Subject to such limitation, the Plan Administrator may grant options and issue shares under the Plan at any time after the effective date of the Plan
and before the date fixed herein for termination of the Plan. 
 B. The Plan shall terminate upon the earliest of
(i) the expiration of the ten (10)-year period measured from the date the Plan is adopted by the Board, (ii) the date on which all shares available for issuance under the Plan shall have been issued as vested shares or (iii) the
termination of all outstanding options in connection with a Corporate Transaction. All options and unvested stock issuances outstanding at the time of a clause (i) termination event shall continue to have full force and effect in accordance
with the provisions of the documents evidencing those options or issuances. 

  
 PAGE 13









  

	III.	AMENDMENTS 

 A. The Board
shall have complete and exclusive power and authority to amend or modify the Plan and outstanding options and stock issuances granted under the Plan in any or all respects. However, no such amendment or modification shall materially adversely affect
the rights of the Optionee or the Participant with respect to options or unvested stock issuances at the time outstanding under the Plan unless the Optionee or the Participant consents to such amendment or modification. In addition, certain
amendments may require stockholder approval pursuant to applicable laws and regulations. 
 B. Options may be granted under the
Option Grant Program and shares may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program which are in each instance in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock then available for issuance under the Plan, provided that, to the extent stockholder approval
is required under applicable law or regulation, any excess shares actually issued under those programs shall be held in escrow until there is obtained stockholder approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing the number of shares of Common Stock
available for issuance under the Plan. If such stockholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months after the date the first such excess grants or issuances are made, then, to the extent required under applicable law or regulation,
(i) any unexercised options granted on the basis of such excess shares shall terminate and cease to be outstanding and (ii) the Corporation shall promptly refund to the Optionees and the Participants the exercise or purchase price paid for
any excess shares issued under the Plan and held in escrow, together with interest (at the applicable Short Term Federal Rate) for the period the shares were held in escrow, and such shares shall thereupon be automatically cancelled and cease to be
outstanding. 
  

	IV.	USE OF PROCEEDS 

 Any cash
proceeds received by the Corporation from the sale of shares of Common Stock under the Plan shall be used for general corporate purposes. 
  

	V.	WITHHOLDING 

 The
Corporation’s obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of any options granted under the Plan or upon the issuance or vesting of any shares issued under the Plan shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable
Federal, state and local income and employment tax withholding requirements. 

  
 PAGE 14









  

	VI.	REGULATORY APPROVALS 

 The
implementation of the Plan, the granting of any options under the Plan and the issuance of any shares of Common Stock (i) upon the exercise of any option or (ii) under the Stock Issuance Program shall be subject to the Corporation’s
procurement of all approvals and permits required by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Plan, the options granted under it and the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to it. 

 

	VII.	NO EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE RIGHTS 

 Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon the Optionee or the Participant any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of
the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining such person) or of the Optionee or the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate such person’s Service at any time for any reason, with or
without cause.
