with the laws of, or to accommodate the tax policy or custom of, foreign jurisdictions whose citizens may be granted Options; and 
 (h) to
correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Option Agreement and to make all other determinations and take such other actions with respect to the Plan or any Option as the Board may deem advisable to the
extent consistent with the Plan and applicable law. 
 4. SHARES SUBJECT TO
PLAN. 
 4.1 Maximum Number of Shares Issuable. Subject to adjustment as provided
in Section 4.2, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan shall be 1,000,000 and shall consist of authorized but unissued or reacquired shares of Stock or any combination thereof. If an outstanding Option
for any reason expires or is terminated or canceled or if unvested shares of Stock are acquired upon the exercise of an Option 
  

 4 








 subject to a Company repurchase option and are repurchased by the Company, the shares of Stock allocable to the
unexercised portion of such Option or such unvested repurchased shares of Stock shall again be available for issuance under the Plan. 
 4.2
Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure. In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, appropriate
adjustments shall be made in the number and class of shares subject to the Plan and to any outstanding Options and in the exercise price per share of any outstanding Options. If a majority of the shares which are of the same class as the shares that
are subject to outstanding Options are exchanged for, converted into, or otherwise become (whether or not pursuant to an Ownership Change Event, as defined in Section 8.1) shares of another corporation (the “New
Shares”), the Board may unilaterally amend the outstanding Options to provide that such Options are exercisable for New Shares. In the event of any such amendment, the number of shares subject to, and the exercise price per share
of, the outstanding Options shall be adjusted in a fair and equitable manner as determined by the Board, in its discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any fractional share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be
rounded down to the nearest whole number, and in no event may the exercise price of any Option be decreased to an amount less than the par value, if any, of the stock subject to the Option. The adjustments determined by the Board pursuant to this
Section 4.2 shall be final and binding. 
 5. ELIGIBILITY AND OPTION
LIMITATIONS. 
 5.1 Persons Eligible for Options. Options may be
granted only to Employees and Consultants. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, “Employees” and “Consultants” shall include prospective Employees and prospective Consultants to whom Options are granted in connection with
written offers of employment or other service relationship with the Participating Company Group. However, notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, no Person shall be eligible to be granted an Option under the Plan whose
eligibility would require approval of the Plan by the Stockholders of the Company under any law or regulation or the rules of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. If not inconsistent with any such law,
regulation or rule, an Option may be granted to a Person, not previously employed by the Company, as an inducement essential to entering into an employment contract with the Company. Eligible Persons may be granted more than one (1) Option.

 5.2 Options Authorized. Options granted under the Plan may only be Nonstatutory Stock Options. 
 6. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF
OPTIONS. 
 Options shall be evidenced by Option Agreements specifying the number of
shares of Stock covered thereby, in such form as the Board shall from time to time establish. No Option or purported Option shall be a valid and binding obligation of the Company unless evidenced by a fully executed Option Agreement. Option
Agreements may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions: 
 6.1 Exercise Price. The exercise price for each Option shall be established in the discretion of the Board. 
  


 5 








 6.2 Exercise Period. Options shall be exercisable at such time or times, or upon such event or
events, and subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria, and restrictions as shall be determined by the Board and set forth in the Option Agreement evidencing such Option; provided, however, that no Option granted to a prospective
Employee or prospective Consultant may become exercisable prior to the date on which such Person commences Service with a Participating Company. Subject to the foregoing, unless otherwise specified by the Board in the grant of an Option, any Option
granted hereunder shall have a term of ten (10) years from the effective date of grant of the Option. 
 6.3 Payment of Exercise
Price. 
 (a) Forms of Consideration Authorized. Except as otherwise provided below, payment of the
exercise price for the number of shares of Stock being purchased pursuant to any Option shall be made (i) in cash, by check or cash equivalent, (ii) by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock owned by the
Optionee having a Fair Market Value not less than the exercise price, (iii) by the assignment of the proceeds of a sale or loan with respect to some or all of the shares being acquired upon the exercise of the Option (including, without
limitation, through an exercise complying with the provisions of Regulation T as promulgated from time to time by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) (a “Cashless Exercise”), (iv) by
such other consideration as may be approved by the Board from time to time to the extent permitted by applicable law, or (v) by any combination thereof. The Board may at any time or from time to time, by approval of or by amendment to the
standard form of Option Agreement described in Section 7, or by other means, grant Options which do not permit all of the foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment of the exercise price or which otherwise restrict one or more forms
of consideration. 
 (b) Limitations on Forms of Consideration. 
 (i) Tender of Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of
shares of Stock to the extent such tender or attestation would constitute a violation of the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption of the shares of Stock. Unless otherwise provided by the Board, an Option may not
be exercised by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock unless such shares either have been owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company.

 (ii) Cashless Exercise. The Company reserves, at any and all times, the right, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion,
to establish, decline to approve or terminate any program or procedures for the exercise of Options by means of a Cashless Exercise. 
  

 6 








 6.4 Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
deduct from the shares of Stock issuable upon the exercise of an Option, or to accept from the Optionee the tender of, a number of whole shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to all or any part of the federal, state, local and foreign
taxes, if any, required by law to be withheld by the Participating Company Group with respect to such Option or the shares of Stock acquired upon the exercise thereof. Alternatively or in addition, in its discretion, the Company shall have the right
to require the Optionee, through payroll withholding, cash payment or otherwise, including by means of a Cashless Exercise, to make adequate provision for any such tax withholding obligations of the Participating Company Group arising in connection
with the Option or the shares of Stock acquired upon the exercise thereof. The Company shall have no obligation to deliver shares of Stock until the Participating Company Group’s tax withholding obligations have been satisfied by the Optionee.

 6.5 Effect of Termination of Service. 
 (a) Option Exercisability. Subject to earlier termination of the Option as otherwise provided herein and unless otherwise provided by the Board in the grant of an Option and set forth in the
Option Agreement, an Option shall be exercisable after an Optionee’s termination of Service as follows: 
 (i) Disability. If
the Optionee’s Service with the Participating Company Group is terminated because of the Disability of the Optionee, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable on the date on which the Optionee’s Service terminated, may be
exercised by the Optionee (or the Optionee’s guardian or legal representative) at any time prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months after the date on which the Optionee’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the
date of expiration of the Option’s term as set forth in the Option Agreement evidencing such Option (the “Option Expiration Date”). 
 (ii) Death. If the Optionee’s Service with the Participating Company Group is terminated because of the death of the Optionee, the Option,
to the extent unexercised and exercisable on the date on which the Optionee’s Service terminated, may be exercised by the Optionee’s legal representative or other Person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by reason of the
Optionee’s death at any time prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months after the date on which the Optionee’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. The Optionee’s Service shall be
deemed to have terminated on account of death if the Optionee dies within three (3) months after the Optionee’s termination of Service. 
 (iii) Termination After Change in Control. If the Optionee’s Service with the Participating Company Group ceases as a result of Termination After Change in Control (as defined below), then (1) the Option, to the extent
unexercised on the date on which the Optionee’s Service terminated, may be exercised by the Optionee (or the Optionee’s guardian or legal representative) at any time prior to the expiration of six (6) months after the date on

  

 7 








 which the Optionee’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date, and (2) the
exercisability and vesting of the Option shall be accelerated effective as of the date on which the Optionee’s Service terminated to such extent, if any, as shall have been determined by the Board, in its discretion, and set forth in the Option
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it is determined that the provisions or operation of this Section 6.5(a)(iii) would preclude treatment of a Change in Control as a “pooling-of-interests” for accounting purposes and
provided further that in the absence of the preceding sentence such Change in Control would be treated as a “pooling-of-interests” for accounting purposes, then this Section 6.5(a)(iii) shall be void ab initio, and the vesting
and exercisability of the Option shall be determined under any other applicable provision of the Plan or the Option Agreement evidencing such Option. 
 (iv) Other Termination of Service. If the Optionee’s Service with the Participating Company Group terminates for any reason, except Disability, death, or Termination After Change in Control, the Option, to
the extent unexercised and exercisable by the Optionee on the date on which the Optionee’s Service terminated, may be exercised by the Optionee within three (3) months (or such longer period of time as determined by the Board, in its
discretion) after the date on which the Optionee’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. 
 (b) Extension if Exercise Prevented by Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise of an Option within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 6.5(a) is prevented by the provisions of
Section 11 below, the Option shall remain exercisable until ninety (90) days after the date the Optionee is notified by the Company that the Option is exercisable, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. 
 (c) Extension if Optionee Subject to Section 16(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a sale within the applicable time
periods set forth in Section 6.5(a) of shares acquired upon the exercise of the Option would subject the Optionee to suit under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Option shall remain exercisable until the earliest to occur of
(i) the thirtieth (30th) day following the date on which a sale of such shares by the Optionee would no longer be subject to such suit, (ii) the two hundred tenth (210th) day after the Optionee’s termination of Service, or
(iii) the Option Expiration Date. 
 (d) Certain Definitions. The following terms shall have their respective meanings
set forth below: 
 (i) “Termination After Change in Control” shall mean either of the following events
occurring within twelve (12) months after a Change in Control: 
 (1) termination by the Participating Company Group of the

 8 








 (2) the Optionee’s resignation from all capacities in which the Optionee is then rendering Service
to the Participating Company Group within a reasonable period of time following an event constituting a Constructive Termination (as defined below). 
 Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Termination After Change in Control shall not include any termination of the Optionee’s Service with the Participating Company Group which (1) is for Cause (as defined below);
(2) is a result of the Optionee’s death or disability; (3) is a result of the Optionee’s voluntary termination of Service other than upon a Constructive Termination; or (4) occurs prior to the effectiveness of a Change in
Control. 
 (ii) “Cause” shall mean any of the following: (1) the Optionee’s theft,
dishonesty, or falsification of any Participating Company documents or records; (2) the Optionee’s improper use or disclosure of a Participating Company’s confidential or proprietary information; (3) any action by the Optionee
which has a detrimental effect on a Participating Company’s reputation or business; (4) the Optionee’s failure or inability to perform any reasonable assigned duties after written notice from the Participating Company Group of, and a
reasonable opportunity to cure, such failure or inability; (5) any material breach by the Optionee of any employment agreement between the Optionee and the Participating Company Group, which breach is not cured pursuant to the terms of such
agreement; or (6) the Optionee’s conviction (including any plea of guilty or nolo contendere) of any criminal act which impairs the Optionee’s ability to perform his or her duties with the Participating Company Group. 
 (iii) “Constructive Termination” shall mean any one or more of the following: 
 (1) without the Optionee’s express written consent, any assignment to the Optionee of any duties, or any limitation of the Optionee’s

requirements existing immediately prior to the date of the Change in Control; 
 (3) any failure by a Participating Company to pay, or any
material reduction by a Participating Company of, (A) the Optionee’s base salary in effect immediately prior to the date of the Change in Control, or (B) the Optionee’s bonus compensation, if any, in effect immediately prior to
the date of the Change in Control (subject to applicable performance requirements with respect to the actual amount of bonus compensation earned by the Optionee); or 
  

 9 








 (4) any failure by a Participating Company to (A) continue to provide the Optionee with the
opportunity to participate, on terms not materially less favorable than those in effect for the benefit of any employee group which customarily includes a Person holding the employment position or a comparable position with the Participating Company
then held by the Optionee, in any benefit or compensation plans and programs, including, but not limited to, the Participating Company’s life, disability, health, dental, medical, savings, profit sharing, stock purchase and retirement plans, if
any, in which the Optionee was participating immediately prior to the date of the Change in Control, or their equivalent, or (B) provide the Optionee with all other fringe benefits (or their equivalent) from time to time in effect for the
benefit of any employee group which customarily includes a Person holding the employment position or a comparable position with the Participating Company then held by the Optionee. 
 7. STANDARD FORMS OF OPTION
AGREEMENT. 
 7.1 Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement. Unless otherwise provided
by the Board at the time the Option is granted, each Option shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the appropriate form of Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement adopted by the Board concurrently with its adoption of
the Plan and as amended from time to time. 
 7.2 Authority to Vary Terms. The Board shall have the authority from time to time to
vary the terms of the standard form of Option Agreement described in this Section 7 either in connection with the grant or amendment of an individual Option or in connection with the authorization of a new standard form or forms; provided,
however, that the terms and conditions of any such new, revised or amended standard form or forms of Option Agreement are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan. 
 8. CHANGE IN CONTROL. 
 8.1
Definitions. The following terms shall have their respective meanings set forth below: 
 (a) An “Ownership Change
Event” shall be deemed to have occurred if any of the following occurs with respect to the Company: (i) the direct or indirect sale or exchange in a single or series of related transactions by the stockholders of the Company
of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock of the Company; (ii) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is a party; (iii) the sale, exchange, or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
(iv) a liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 
 (b) A “Change in Control” shall mean an
Ownership Change Event or a series of related Ownership Change Events (collectively, the “Transaction”) wherein the stockholders of the Company immediately before the Transaction do not retain immediately after
the Transaction, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of shares of the Company’s voting stock immediately before the Transaction, direct or indirect beneficial ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the total
combined voting power of the 
  

 10 








 outstanding voting stock of the Company or the corporation or corporations to which the assets of the Company were
transferred (the “Transferee Corporation(s)”), as the case may be. For purposes of the preceding sentence, indirect beneficial ownership shall include, without limitation, an interest resulting from
ownership of the voting stock of one or more corporations which, as a result of the Transaction, own the Company or the Transferee Corporation(s), as the case may be, either directly or through one or more subsidiary corporations. The Board shall
have the right to determine whether multiple sales or exchanges of the voting stock of the Company or multiple Ownership Change Events are related, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. 
 8.2 Effect of Change in Control on Options. In the event of a Change in Control, the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing corporation
or parent corporation thereof, as the case may be (the “Acquiring Corporation”), may either assume the Company’s rights and obligations under outstanding Options or substitute for outstanding Options
substantially equivalent options for the Acquiring Corporation’s stock. In the event the Acquiring Corporation elects not to assume or substitute for outstanding Options in connection with a Change in Control, the exercisability and vesting of
each such outstanding Option held by an Optionee whose Service has not terminated prior to such date shall be accelerated effective as of the date ten (10) days prior to the date of the Change in Control to such extent, if any, as shall have
been determined by the Board, in its discretion, and set forth in the Option Agreement evidencing such Option. The exercise or vesting of any Option that was permissible solely by reason of this Section 8.2 and the provisions of such Option
Agreement shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Change in Control. Any Options which are neither assumed or substituted for by the Acquiring Corporation in connection with the Change in Control nor exercised as of the date of the Change
in Control shall terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the date of the Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the corporation the stock of which is subject to the outstanding Options immediately prior to an Ownership
Change Event described in Section 8.1(a)(i) constituting a Change in Control is the surviving or continuing corporation and immediately after such Ownership Change Event less than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of
its voting stock is held by another corporation or by other corporations that are members of an affiliated group within the meaning of Section 1504(a) of the Code without regard to the provisions of Section 1504(b) of the Code, the
outstanding Options shall not terminate unless the Board otherwise provides in its discretion. 
 9. PROVISION
OF INFORMATION. 
 Each Optionee shall be given access to information concerning the
Company equivalent to that information generally made available to the Company’s common stockholders. 
 10.
TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. 
 During the lifetime of the Optionee,
an Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee or the Optionee’s guardian or legal representative. No Option shall be assignable or transferable by the Optionee, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, an Option shall be assignable or transferable to the extent permitted by the Board and set forth in the Option Agreement evidencing such Option. 
  

 11 








 11. COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES
LAW. 
 The grant of Options and the issuance of shares of Stock upon exercise of Options shall be
subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state or foreign law with respect to such securities. Options may not be exercised if the issuance of shares of Stock upon exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable
federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. In addition, no Option may be exercised unless (a) a registration
statement under the Securities Act shall at the time of exercise of the Option be in effect with respect to the shares of Stock issuable upon exercise of the Option or (b) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the shares of Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Option may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction
the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares of Stock hereunder shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares of
Stock as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the exercise of any Option, the Company may require the Optionee to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance
with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company. 
 12. TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT OF PLAN. 
 The Board may terminate or amend the Plan at any time. However, no termination or amendment of the Plan shall affect any then outstanding Option unless expressly provided by the Board. In any event, no termination or
amendment of the Plan may adversely affect any then outstanding Option without the consent of the Optionee, unless such termination or amendment is necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation or rule. 
  

 12
