 ARTICLE III. 

PARTICIPATION 
 3.1
Eligibility. 
 (a) Any Eligible Employee who shall be employed by the Company or a Designated Subsidiary on a given Enrollment Date
for an Offering Period shall be eligible to participate in the Plan during such Offering Period, subject to the requirements of Articles IV and V hereof, and the limitations imposed by Section 423(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations
thereunder. 
 (b) No Eligible Employee shall be granted an Option under the Plan which permits the Participant’s rights to purchase
shares of Common Stock under the Plan, and to purchase stock under all other employee stock purchase plans of the Company, any Parent or any Subsidiary subject to the Section 423 of the Code (any such Option or other option, a “Section
423 Option”), to accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of fair market value of such stock (determined at the time the Section 423 Option is granted) for each calendar year in which any Section 423 Option granted to the
Participant is outstanding at any time. For purposes of the limitation imposed by this subsection, 
 (i) the right to
purchase stock under a Section 423 Option accrues when the Section 423 Option (or any portion thereof) first becomes exercisable during the calendar year, 

(ii) the right to purchase stock under a Section 423 Option accrues at the rate provided in the Section 423 Option,
but in no case may such rate exceed $25,000 of fair market value of such stock (determined at the time such option is granted) for any one calendar year, and 

(iii) a right to purchase stock which has accrued under a Section 423 Option may not be carried over to any other
Section 423 Option; provided that Participants may carry forward amounts so accrued that represent a fractional share of stock and were withheld but not applied towards the purchase of Common Stock under an earlier Offering Period, and
may apply such amounts towards the purchase of additional shares of Common Stock under a subsequent Offering Period. 
 The limitation under this
Section 3.1(b) shall be applied in accordance with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. 
 3.2
Election to Participate; Payroll Deductions 
 (a) Except as provided in Section 3.3 hereof, an Eligible Employee may become a
Participant in the Plan only by means of payroll deduction. Each individual who is an Eligible Employee as of an Offering Period’s Enrollment Date may elect to participate in such Offering Period and the Plan by delivering to the Company a
payroll deduction authorization no later such period of time prior to the applicable Enrollment Date as determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. 

(b) Subject to Section 3.1(b) hereof, payroll deductions (i) shall be equal to at least one percent (1%) of the
Participant’s Compensation as of each Payday of the Offering Period following the Enrollment Date, but not more than the lesser of fifteen percent (15%) of the Participant’s Compensation as of each Payday of the Offering Period
following the Enrollment Date or $25,000 per Offering Period; and (ii) may be expressed either as (A) a whole 

  
 5 









 
number percentage, or (B) a fixed dollar amount. Amounts deducted from a Participant’s Compensation with respect to an Offering Period pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be
deducted each Payday through payroll deduction and credited to the Participant’s Plan Account. 
 (c) Following at least one
(1) payroll deduction, a Participant may decrease (to as low as zero) the amount deducted from such Participant’s Compensation only once during an Offering Period upon ten (10) calendar days’ prior written notice to the Company.
A Participant may not increase the amount deducted from such Participant’s Compensation during an Offering Period. 
 (d)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the termination of an Offering Period, each Participant in such Offering Period shall automatically participate in the immediately following Offering Period at the same payroll deduction percentage or fixed amount
as in effect at the termination of the prior Offering Period, unless such Participant delivers to the Company a different election with respect to the successive Offering Period in accordance with Section 3.1(a) hereof, or unless such
Participant becomes ineligible for participation in the Plan. 
 3.3 Leave of Absence. During leaves of absence approved by the
Company meeting the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.421-1(h)(2) under the Code, a Participant may continue participation in the Plan by making cash payments to the Company on his or her normal payday equal to his or her authorized
payroll deduction. 
 ARTICLE IV. 

PURCHASE OF SHARES 
 4.1
Grant of Option. Each Participant shall be granted an Option with respect to an Offering Period on the applicable Grant Date. Subject to the limitations of Section 3.1(b) hereof, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to a
Participant’s Option shall be determined by dividing (a) such Participant’s payroll deductions accumulated prior to such Exercise Date and retained in the Participant’s Plan Account on such Exercise Date by (b) the
applicable Option Price; provided that in no event shall a Participant be permitted to purchase during each Offering Period more than 5,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof). The
Administrator may, for future Offering Periods, increase or decrease, in its absolute discretion, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that a Participant may purchase during such future Offering Periods. Each Option shall expire on the
Exercise Date for the applicable Offering Period immediately after the automatic exercise of the Option in accordance with Section 4.3 hereof, unless such Option terminates earlier in accordance with Article 6 hereof. 

4.2 Option Price. The “Option Price” per share of Common Stock to be paid by a Participant upon exercise of the
Participant’s Option on the applicable Exercise Date for an Offering Period shall be equal to eighty five percent (85%) of the lesser of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on (a) the applicable Grant Date and
(b) the applicable Exercise Date; provided that in no event shall the Option Price per share of Common Stock be less than the par value per share of the Common Stock. 

  
 6 









 4.3 Purchase of Shares. 

(a) On the applicable Exercise Date for an Offering Period, each Participant shall automatically and without any action on such
Participant’s part be deemed to have exercised his or her Option to purchase at the applicable per share Option Price the largest number of whole shares of Common Stock which can be purchased with the amount in the Participant’s Plan
Account. Any balance less than the per share Option Price that is remaining in the Participant’s Plan Account (after exercise of such Participant’s Option) as of the Exercise Date shall be carried forward to the next Offering Period,
unless the Participant has elected to withdraw from the Plan pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof or, pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof, such Participant has ceased to be an Eligible Employee. Any balance not carried forward to the next Offering
Period in accordance with the prior sentence promptly shall be refunded to the applicable Participant. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall an amount greater than or equal to the per share Option Price as of an Exercise Date be carried
forward to the next Offering Period. 
 (b) As soon as practicable following the applicable Exercise Date, the number of shares of Common
Stock purchased by such Participant pursuant to Section 4.3(a) hereof shall be delivered (either in share certificate or book entry form), in the Company’s sole discretion, to either (i) the Participant or (ii) an account
established in the Participant’s name at a stock brokerage or other financial services firm designated by the Company. If the Company is required to obtain from any commission or agency authority to issue any such shares of Common Stock, the
Company shall seek to obtain such authority. Inability of the Company to obtain from any such commission or agency authority which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance of any such shares shall relieve the Company from
liability to any Participant except to refund to the Participant such Participant’s Plan Account balance, without interest thereon. 

4.4 Transferability of Rights. 

(a) An Option granted under the Plan shall not be transferable, other than by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution, and is
exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant. No option or interest or right to the Option shall be available to pay off any debts, contracts or engagements of the Participant or his or her successors in interest or
shall be subject to disposition by pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings
(including bankruptcy), and any attempt at disposition of the option shall have no effect. 
 ARTICLE V. 

PROVISIONS RELATING TO COMMON STOCK 

5.1 Common Stock Reserved. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.2 hereof, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock
that shall be made available for sale under the Plan shall be the sum of (a) 320,000 shares of Common Stock and (b) an annual increase on the first day of each year beginning in 2015 and ending in 2024, in each case subject to the approval
of the Administrator on or prior to the applicable date, equal to the lesser of (i)

  
 7 









 
one percent (1%) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding (on an as converted basis) on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (ii) such number of shares of Common
Stock as determined by the Board; provided, however, no more than 3,520,000 shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Plan. Shares of Common Stock made available for sale under the Plan may be authorized but unissued
shares, treasury shares of Common Stock, or reacquired shares reserved for issuance under the Plan. 
 5.2 Adjustments Upon Changes in
Capitalization, Dissolution, Liquidation, Merger or Asset Sale. 
 (a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action
by the stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but not yet placed under Option, as well as the price per share and the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each
Option under the Plan which has not yet been exercised shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or
reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities
of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Administrator, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as
expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price
of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option. 
 (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period then in progress shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the “New Exercise Date”), and shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed dissolution or
liquidation, unless provided otherwise by the Administrator. The New Exercise Date shall be before the date of the Company’s proposed dissolution or liquidation. The Administrator shall notify each Participant in writing, at least ten (10)
business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the Participant’s Option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the Participant’s Option shall be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless
prior to such date the Participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 6.1 hereof. 
 (c) Merger or Asset
Sale. In the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger of the Company with or into another corporation, each outstanding Option shall be assumed or an equivalent Option substituted by the
successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Option, any Offering Periods then in progress shall be shortened by setting a New
Exercise Date and any Offering Periods then in progress shall end on the New Exercise Date. The New Exercise Date shall be before the date of the Company’s proposed sale or merger. The Administrator shall notify each Participant in writing, at
least ten (10) business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the Participant’s Option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the Participant’s Option shall be exercised automatically on the New
Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the Participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 6.1 hereof. 

  
 8 









 5.3 Insufficient Shares. If the Administrator determines that, on a given Exercise Date,
the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Options are to be exercised may exceed the number of shares of Common Stock remaining available for sale under the Plan on such Exercise Date, the Administrator shall make a pro rata
allocation of the shares of Common Stock available for issuance on such Exercise Date in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine in its sole discretion to be equitable among all Participants exercising Options to
purchase Common Stock on such Exercise Date, and unless additional shares are authorized for issuance under the Plan, no further Offering Periods shall take place and the Plan shall terminate pursuant to Section 7.5 hereof. If an Offering
Period is so terminated, then the balance of the amount credited to the Participant’s Plan Account which has not been applied to the purchase of shares of Common Stock shall be paid to such Participant in one lump sum in cash within thirty
(30) days after such Exercise Date, without any interest thereon. 
 5.4 Rights as Stockholders. With respect to shares of
Common Stock subject to an Option, a Participant shall not be deemed to be a stockholder of the Company and shall not have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder. A Participant shall have the rights and privileges of a stockholder of the
Company when, but not until, shares of Common Stock have been deposited in the designated brokerage account following exercise of his or her Option. 

ARTICLE VI. 
 TERMINATION
OF PARTICIPATION 
 6.1 Cessation of Contributions; Voluntary Withdrawal. 

(a) A Participant may cease payroll deductions during an Offering Period and elect to withdraw from the Plan by delivering written notice of
such election to the Company in such form and at such time prior to the Exercise Date for such Offering Period as may be established by the Administrator (a “Withdrawal Election”). A Participant electing to withdraw from the Plan
may elect to either (i) withdraw all of the funds then credited to the Participant’s Plan Account as of the date on which the Withdrawal Election is received by the Company, in which case amounts credited to such Plan Account shall be
returned to the Participant in one (1) lump-sum payment in cash within thirty (30) days after such election is received by the Company, without any interest thereon, and the Participant shall cease to participate in the Plan and the
Participant’s Option for such Offering Period shall terminate; or (ii) exercise the Option for the maximum number of whole shares of Common Stock on the applicable Exercise Date with any remaining Plan Account balance returned to the
Participant in one (1) lump-sum payment in cash within thirty (30) days after such Exercise Date, without any interest thereon, and after such exercise cease to participate in the Plan. Upon receipt of a Withdrawal Election, the
Participant’s payroll deduction authorization and his or her Option to purchase under the Plan shall terminate. 
 (b) A
participant’s withdrawal from the Plan shall not have any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in any similar plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Company or in succeeding Offering Periods which commence after the termination
of the Offering Period from which the Participant withdraws. 
 (c) A Participant who ceases contributions to the Plan during any Offering
Period shall not be permitted to resume contributions to the Plan during that Offering Period. 

  
 9 









 6.2 Termination of Eligibility. Upon a Participant’s ceasing to be an Eligible
Employee, for any reason, such Participant’s Option for the applicable Offering Period shall automatically terminate, he or she shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan, and such Participant’s Plan Account shall be paid to
such Participant or, in the case of his or her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto pursuant to applicable law, within thirty (30) days after such cessation of being an Eligible Employee, without any interest thereon.

thereunder. 
 (c) The Administrator may adopt rules or procedures relating to the operation and administration of the Plan to accommodate

and procedures. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding handling of participation elections, payroll
deductions, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, payroll tax, withholding procedures and handling of stock certificates which vary with local requirements. In its absolute discretion, the Board may at any time and from time to time
exercise any and all rights and duties of the Administrator under the Plan. 
 (d) The Administrator may adopt sub-plans applicable to
particular Designated Subsidiaries or locations, which sub-plans may be designed to be outside the scope of Section 423 of the Code. The rules of such sub-plans may take precedence over other provisions of this Plan, with the exception of
Section 5.1 hereof, but unless otherwise superseded by the terms of such sub-plan, the provisions of this Plan shall govern the operation of such sub-plan. 

(e) All expenses and liabilities incurred by the Administrator in connection with the administration of the Plan shall be borne by the
Company. The Administrator may, with the approval of the Committee, employ attorneys, consultants, accountants, appraisers, brokers or other persons. The Administrator, the Company and its officers and directors shall be entitled to rely upon the
advice, opinions or valuations of any such persons. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith shall be final and binding upon all Participants, the Company and all other interested persons.
No member of the Board or Administrator shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or the options, and all members of the Board or Administrator shall be fully protected by
the Company in respect to any such action, determination, or interpretation. 
 7.2 Designation of Subsidiary Corporations. The Board
or Committee shall designate from among the Subsidiaries, as determined from time to time, the Subsidiary or Subsidiaries that shall constitute Designated Subsidiaries. The Board or Committee may designate a Subsidiary, or terminate the designation
of a Subsidiary, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company. 
 7.3 Reports. Individual accounts shall be maintained for
each Participant in the Plan. Statements of Plan Accounts shall be given to Participants at least annually, which statements shall set forth the amounts of payroll deductions, the Option Price, the number of shares purchased and the remaining cash
balance, if any. 
 7.4 No Right to Employment. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to give any person (including any Participant)
the right to remain in the employ of the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary or to affect the right of the Company, any Parent or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any person (including any Participant) at any time, with or without cause,
which right is expressly reserved. 
 7.5 Amendment and Termination of the Plan. 

(a) The Board may, in its sole discretion, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time and from time to time; provided,
however, that without approval of the

Company’s stockholders given within twelve (12) months before or after action by the Board, the Plan may not be amended to increase the maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject
to the Plan or change the designation or class of Eligible Employees; and provided, further that without approval of the Company’s stockholders, the Plan may not be amended in any manner that would cause the Plan to no longer be
an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423(b) of the Code. 
 (b) In the event the Administrator
determines that the ongoing operation of the Plan may result in unfavorable financial accounting consequences, the Administrator may, to the extent permitted under Section 423 of the Code, in its discretion and, to the extent necessary or
desirable, modify or amend the Plan to reduce or eliminate such accounting consequence including, but not limited to: 
 (i)
altering the Option Price for any Offering Period including an Offering Period underway at the time of the change in Option Price; 

(ii) shortening any Offering Period so that the Offering Period ends on a new Exercise Date, including an Offering Period
underway at the time of the Administrator action; and 
 (iii) allocating shares of Common Stock. 

Such modifications or amendments shall not require stockholder approval or the consent of any Participant. 

(c) Upon termination of the Plan, the balance in each Participant’s Plan Account shall be refunded as soon as practicable after such
termination, without any interest thereon. 
 7.6 Use of Funds; No Interest Paid. All funds received by the Company by reason of
purchase of Common Stock under the Plan shall be included in the general funds of the Company free of any trust or other restriction and may be used for any corporate purpose. No interest shall be paid to any Participant or credited under the Plan.

 7.7 Term; Approval by Stockholders. No Option may be granted during any period of suspension of the Plan or after termination of
the Plan. The Plan shall be submitted for the approval of the Company’s stockholders within twelve (12) months after the date of the Board’s initial adoption of the Plan. Options may be granted prior to such stockholder approval;

regulations and the rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the shares of Common Stock are listed, quoted, or traded. The Committee may place legends on any certificate or book entry evidencing shares of Common Stock
to reference restrictions applicable to the shares of Common Stock.

the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
