 (a) Automatic Equity Grants. 

(i) Initial Grant for New Directors. Without any further action of the Board, each person who, after the Effective Date, is elected or
appointed for the first time to be a Non-Employee Director will automatically, upon the date of his or her initial election or appointment to be a Non-Employee Director, be granted (A) a Nonstatutory Stock Option to purchase a number of shares
of common stock having an Option Value (as defined below) of $80,000 (the “Initial Option Grant”) and (B) restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with an RSU Value (as defined below) of $80,000 (the
“Initial RSU Grant” and, together with the Initial Option Grant, the “Initial Grants”), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that will elapse between the Non-Employee
Director’s date of initial appointment or election and the first anniversary of the date of grant of the Company’s most recent Annual Grants (as defined below) and the denominator of which is 365. Each Initial Option Grant and Initial RSU
Grant will vest on August 15th following the first anniversary of the date of grant of the Company’s most recent Annual Grants, subject to the Non-Employee Director’s Continuous
Service (as defined in the Plan) through such date. 
 (ii) Annual Grant. Without any further action of the Board, at the close of
business on the date of each Annual Meeting following the Effective Date, each person who is then a Non-Employee Director will automatically be granted (A) a Nonstatutory Stock Option to purchase a number of shares of common stock having an
Option Value of $80,000 (the “Annual Option Grant”) and (B) RSUs with an RSU Value of $80,000 (the “Annual RSU Grant” and, together with the Annual Option Grant, the “Annual
Grants”). Each Annual Grant will vest on August 15th of the calendar year following the year in which such Annual Grants are made, subject to the Non-Employee Director’s
Continuous Service through such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Non-Employee Director who served on the Board prior to the Effective Date, shall not be awarded any Annual Grants until the later of (A) the first Annual Meeting in
calendar year 2016 and (B) the first Annual Meeting occurring at least three years following the date such Non-Employee Director commenced his or her service on the Board. 

(b) Vesting; Change of Control. All vesting is subject to the Non-Employee Director’s “Continuous Service” on each
applicable vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing vesting schedules, for each Non-Employee Director who remains in Continuous Service with the Company until immediately prior to the closing of a “Change of
Control” (as defined in the Plan), the shares subject to his or her then-outstanding equity awards that were granted pursuant to this policy will become fully vested immediately prior to the closing of such Change of Control.

 (c) Calculation of Option Value and Value of a Restricted Stock Unit Award. The “Option
Value” of a stock option to be granted under this policy will be determined using the same method the Company uses to calculate the grant-date fair value of stock options in its financial statements, except that no provision
shall be made for estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting. The “RSU Value” of an RSU award to be granted under this policy will be determined based on the Fair Market Value per share on the grant
date.

 (d) Remaining Terms. The remaining terms and conditions of each stock option or RSU,
including transferability, will be as set forth in the Company’s standard Option Agreement or form of RSU Award Agreement, as applicable, in each case in the form adopted from time to time by the Board. 

Expenses 
 The Company will reimburse Non-Employee
Director for ordinary, necessary and reasonable out-of-pocket travel expenses to cover in-person attendance at and participation in Board and committee meetings; provided, that the Non-Employee Director timely submit to the Company
appropriate documentation substantiating such expenses in accordance with the Company’s travel and expense policy, as in effect from time to time.
