covered by each Award granted hereunder; 
  
 (iv) to approve

the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award granted hereunder. Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise or purchase price, the time or times when Awards may be vested, exercised,
purchased or granted (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions or repurchase rights, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Award or the shares of Common Stock relating
thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine;

Participant’s date of termination with respect to any Award granted under the Plan; 
  
 (vii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of qualifying for preferred tax treatment under

inducement to entering into their initial employment with the Company; provided, however, that a former employee who is returning to the employ of the Company following a bona-fide period of non-employment by the Company may also receive an Award
hereunder. 
  
 6. Limitations. 
  
 (a) Each Option shall be designated in the Option Agreement as a
Nonstatutory Stock Option. 
  
 (b) Neither the Plan nor any Award

 -6- 








 (b) Option Exercise Price, Waiting Period and Consideration. 
  
 (i) Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the Shares to
be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be determined by the Administrator, with a minimum exercise price equal to par value. 
  
 (ii) Waiting Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator shall fix the period within which the Option may
become vested or be exercised and shall determine any conditions which must be satisfied before the Option may vest or be exercised. 
  
 (iii) Form of Consideration. The Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method
of payment. Such consideration, subject to Applicable Laws, may consist entirely of: 
  
 (1) cash; 
  
 (2) check;

  
 (3) other Shares which (A) in the case of Shares acquired
upon exercise of an option, have been owned by the Optionee for more than six months on the date of surrender, and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option
shall be exercised; 
  
 (4) consideration received by the Company
under a broker-assisted cashless exercise program acceptable to the Company, in its sole discretion; 
  
 (5) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment; or 
  
 (6) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws. 
  
 (iv) Exercise of Option; Rights as a Stockholder. Any Option granted
hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement. 
  
 An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance
with the Option Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the
Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if requested by the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee and his or her spouse. Until the
Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the
Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is
prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 13 of the Plan. 
  

 -7- 








 Exercising an Option in any manner shall decrease the number of Shares thereafter available, both for
purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. 
  
 (c) Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, other than
upon the Optionee’s death or Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested and exercisable on the date of termination (but in
no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Optionee’s
termination. If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or
her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. 
  
 Notwithstanding the above, in the event of an Optionee’s change in status from Employee to Consultant, an Optionee’s status as a Service
Provider shall continue notwithstanding the change in status. 
  
 (d) Disability of Optionee. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Optionee’s Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement
to the extent the Option is vested and exercisable on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement,
the Option shall remain exercisable for six (6) months following the Optionee’s termination. If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option
shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. 
  
 (e) Death of Optionee. If an Optionee dies while a Service Provider,
the Option may be exercised within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant), by the Optionee’s estate or by a person
who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that the Option is vested and exercisable on the date of death. In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain
exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee’s termination. If, at the time of death, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately revert to
the Plan. The Option may be exercised by the executor or administrator of the Optionee’s estate or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to exercise the Option under the Optionee’s will or the laws of descent or distribution. If the Option
is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

 9. Restricted Stock/Restricted Stock Units. 
  
 (a) Grant of Restricted Stock/Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the
terms and conditions of the Plan, Restricted Stock may be granted to new Employees as shall be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. The Administrator shall have complete discretion to determine (i) the number of Shares subject to
a Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit award granted to any new Employee, (ii) whether the form of the award shall be Shares or units to acquire Shares (which latter shall be referred to herein as Restricted Stock Units), and (iii) the
conditions that must be satisfied, including performance-based milestones, upon which is conditioned the grant or vesting of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units. For Restricted Stock Units, each such unit shall be the equivalent of one Share
of Common Stock for purposes of determining the number of Shares subject to an Award. Until the Shares are issued, no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to Restricted Stock or Restricted
Stock Units. 
  
 (b) Exercise Price and other Terms. The
Administrator, subject to the provisions of the Plan, shall have complete discretion to determine the terms and conditions of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units granted under the Plan. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit grants shall
be subject to the terms, conditions, and restrictions determined by the Administrator at the time the stock or unit is awarded, which may include such performance-based milestones as are determined appropriate by the Administrator. The Administrator
may require the recipient to sign a Restricted Stock or and Restricted Stock Unit Agreement as a condition of the award. Any certificates representing the shares of Stock awarded shall bear such legends as shall be determined by the Administrator.

  
 (c) Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award
Agreement. Each Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the purchase price (if any) and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall
determine; provided; however, that if the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit grant has a purchase price, such purchase price must be paid no more than ten (10) years following the date of grant. 
  
 10. Stock Appreciation Rights. 
  
 (a) Grant of SARs. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan,
SARs may be granted to Employees at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. The Administrator shall have complete discretion to determine the number of SARs granted to any Employee.

  
 (b) Exercise Price and other Terms. The Administrator,
subject to the provisions of the Plan, shall have complete discretion to determine the terms and conditions of SARs granted under the Plan; provided, however, that no SAR may have a term of more than ten (10) years from the date of grant.

  

 -9- 








 (c) Payment of SAR Amount. Upon exercise of a SAR, a Participant shall be entitled to receive
payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying: 
  
 (i) The difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the exercise price; times 
  
 (ii) The number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised. 
  
 (d) Payment upon Exercise of SAR. At the discretion of the Administrator, payment for a SAR may be in cash, Shares or
a combination thereof. 
  
 (e) Cash Settlements and Plan Share
Allocation. Cash payments of Stock Appreciation Rights as well as Common Stock issued upon exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights shall be applied against the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the Plan. The
number of shares to be applied against such maximum number of shares in such circumstances shall be the number of shares equal to the amount of the cash payment divided by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the Stock
Appreciation Right is granted. 
  
 (f) SAR Agreement. Each
SAR grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the exercise price, the term of the SAR, the conditions of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine. 

 
 (g) Expiration of SARs. A SAR granted under the Plan shall expire
upon the date determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement. 
  
 (h) Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Participant’s
death or Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Stock Appreciation Right within such period of time as is specified in the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement to the extent that the Stock Appreciation Right is vested and exercisable on
the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Stock Appreciation Right as set forth in the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement,
the Stock Appreciation Right shall remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Participant’s termination. If, on the date of termination, the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Stock Appreciation Right, the Shares
covered by the unvested portion of the Stock Appreciation Right shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Participant does not exercise his or her Stock Appreciation Right within the time specified by the Administrator, the Stock
Appreciation Right shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Stock Appreciation Right shall revert to the Plan. 
  
 Notwithstanding the above, in the event of a Participant’s change in status from Employee to Consultant, a Participant’s status as a Service
Provider shall continue notwithstanding the change in status.

 (i) Disability of Participant. If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the
Participant’s Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Stock Appreciation Right within such period of time as is specified in the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement to the extent the Stock Appreciation Right is vested and exercisable
on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Stock Appreciation Right as set forth in the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement,
the Stock Appreciation Right shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Participant’s termination. If, on the date of termination, the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Stock Appreciation Right, the Shares
covered by the unvested portion of the Stock Appreciation Right shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Participant does not exercise his or her Stock Appreciation Right within the time specified herein, the Stock Appreciation Right
shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Stock Appreciation Right shall revert to the Plan. 
  
 (j) Death of Participant. If a Participant dies while a Service Provider, the Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised within such period of time
as is specified in the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Stock Appreciation Right as set forth in the Notice of Grant), by the Participant’s estate or by a person who acquires the
right to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that the Stock Appreciation Right is vested and exercisable on the date of death. In the absence of a specified time in the Stock Appreciation Right
Agreement, the Stock Appreciation Right shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Participant’s termination. If, at the time of death, the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Stock Appreciation Right, the
Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Stock Appreciation Right shall immediately revert to the Plan. The Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by the executor or administrator of the Participant’s estate or, if none, by the
person(s) entitled to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right under the Participant’s will or the laws of descent or distribution. If the Stock Appreciation Right is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Stock Appreciation Right
shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Stock Appreciation Right shall revert to the Plan. 
  
 11. Leaves of Absence. The effect of leaves of absence on Award vesting, if any, shall be as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

  
 12. Limited Transferability of Awards. Except as
otherwise specified in an individual Award Agreement, an Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the
lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant. 
  
 13.
Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Liquidation or Change of Control. 
  
 (a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by
each outstanding Award, the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Awards have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Award,
as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by 
  

 -11- 








 each such outstanding Award 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 issued 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 Committee,
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 Award. 
  
 (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each
Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for a Participant to have the right to exercise his or her Award until ten (10) days prior to such
transaction as to all of the stock covered thereby, including Shares as to which the Award would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. In addition, the Administrator may provide that any Company repurchase option or forfeiture applicable to any
Shares covered by an Award shall lapse as to all such Shares, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Award will terminate
immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action. 
  

 -12- 








 (c) Change of Control. 
  
 (i) SARs and Options. In the event of a Change of Control, each outstanding SAR and 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 SAR and Option, the Participant shall fully vest
in and have the right to exercise the SAR or Option as to all of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. If an SAR or Option becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or
substitution in the event of a Change of Control, the Administrator shall notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the SAR or Option shall be fully vested and exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such
notice, and the SAR or Option shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of this paragraph, the SAR or Option shall be considered assumed if, following the Change of Control, the SAR or option confers the right to purchase
or receive, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the SAR or Option immediately prior to the Change of Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change of Control by holders of Common
Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such
consideration received in the Change of Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the
exercise of the SAR or Option, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the SAR or Option, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of
Common Stock in the Change of Control. 
  
 (ii) Restricted
Stock and Restricted Stock Units. In the event of a Change of Control, each outstanding Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit award shall be assumed or an equivalent award substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or subsidiary
of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit award, the Participant shall fully vest in the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit
award, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit award shall be considered assumed if, following the Change of Control, the Restricted Stock or
Restricted Stock Unit award confers the right to receive, for each Share and each unit to acquire a Share that is subject to the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit award immediately prior to the Change of Control, the consideration (whether
stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change of Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share and each unit to acquire a Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of
consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change of Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its
Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received, for each Share and each unit to acquire a Share subject to the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units award, to be solely
common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Change of Control.

 14. Award Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Award shall be, for all purposes, the date on
which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Award, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination shall be provided to each new Employee within a reasonable time after the date of such
grant. 
  
 15. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

  
 (a) Amendment and Termination. The Committee may at
any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan. 
  
 (b)
Stockholder Approval. The Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws. 
  
 (c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair
the rights of any Participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company. Termination of the Plan shall not affect the
Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination. 
  

16. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. 
  
 (a) Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise or vesting of an Award unless the exercise or vesting of such Award and
the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. 
  
 (b) Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require the person
exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the
Company, such a representation is required. 
  
 17. Inability
to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder,
shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. 
  
 18. Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available
such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.
