awards for special tax treatment under the laws of jurisdictions other than the U.S., (v) adopt rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith, and (vi) interpret, amend or revoke any
such rules. Any determinations and decisions made or to be made by the Administrator pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, unless specified otherwise by the Administrator, will be in the Administrator’s sole discretion.

held harmless by the Company against and from (i) any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she
may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan or any award, and (ii) from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or
paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such claim, action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she will give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she
undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification will not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or under any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

 4.    Selection of Participants and Determination of Awards. 

(a)    Selection of Participants. The Administrator will select the Employees who will be Participants for any
Performance Period. Participation in the Plan will be on a Performance Period by Performance Period basis. Accordingly, an Employee who is a Participant for a given Performance Period in no way is guaranteed or assured of being selected for
participation in any subsequent Performance Period or Performance Periods. No Employee will have the right to be selected to receive an award under this Plan or, if so selected, to be selected to receive a future award. 

(b)    Determination of Target Awards. The Administrator will establish a Target Award for each Participant (which
may be expressed as a percentage of a Participant’s average annual base salary for the Performance Period or a fixed dollar amount or such other amount or based on such other formula or factors as the Administrator determines). 

(c)    Bonus Pool. Each Performance Period, the Administrator may establish a Bonus Pool, which pool may be
established before, during or after the applicable Performance Period. Actual Awards will be paid from the Bonus Pool. 

(d)    Discretion to Modify Awards. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan, the Administrator, at any
time, may: (i) increase, reduce or eliminate a Participant’s Actual Award, and/or (ii) increase, reduce or eliminate the amount allocated to the Bonus Pool. The Actual Award may be below, at or above the Target Award, as determined by
the Administrator. The Administrator may determine the amount of any increase, reduction, or elimination based on such factors as it deems relevant, and will not be required to establish any allocation or weighting with respect to the factors it
considers. 
 (e)    Discretion to Determine Criteria. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan, the
Administrator will determine the performance goals, if any, applicable to any Target Award (or portion thereof) which may include, without limitation, goals related to: attainment of research and development milestones; sales bookings; business
divestitures and acquisitions; capital raising; cash flow; cash position; contract awards or backlog; corporate transactions; customer renewals; customer retention rates from an acquired company, subsidiary, business unit or division; earnings
(which may include any calculation of earnings, including but not limited to earnings before interest and taxes, earnings before taxes, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and net taxes); earnings per share; expenses;
financial milestones; gross margin; growth in stockholder value relative to the moving average of the S&P 500 Index or another index; internal rate of return; leadership development or succession planning; license or research collaboration
arrangements; market share; net income; net profit; net sales; new product or business development; new product invention or innovation; number of customers; operating cash flow; operating expenses; operating income; operating margin; overhead or
other expense reduction; patents; procurement; product defect measures; product release timelines; productivity; profit; regulatory milestones or regularly-related goals; retained earnings; return on assets; return on capital; return on equity;
return on investment; return on sales; revenue; revenue growth; sales results; sales growth; savings; stock price; time to market; total stockholder return; working capital; unadjusted or adjusted actual contract value; unadjusted or adjusted total
contract value; and individual objectives such as peer reviews or other subjective or 

  
 -4- 













 
objective criteria. As determined by the Administrator, the performance goals may be based on U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or non-GAAP results and any actual results may be adjusted by the Administrator for one-time items or unbudgeted or unexpected items and/or payments of Actual Awards under the
Plan when determining whether the performance goals have been met. The performance goals may be based on any factors the Administrator determines relevant, including without limitation on an individual, divisional, portfolio, project, business unit,
segment or Company-wide basis. Any criteria used may be measured on such basis as the Administrator determines, including without limitation: (i) in absolute terms, (ii) in combination with another performance goal or goals (for example,
but not by way of limitation, as a ratio or matrix), (iii) in relative terms (including, but not limited to, results for other periods, passage of time and/or against another company or companies or an index or indices), (iv) on a per-share basis, (v) against the performance of the Company as a whole or a segment of the Company and/or (vi) on a pre-tax or
after-tax basis. The performance goals may differ from Participant to Participant and from award to award. Failure to meet the applicable performance goals will result in a failure to earn the Target Award,
except as provided in Section 4(d). The Administrator also may determine that a Target Award (or portion thereof) will not have a performance goal associated with it but instead will be granted (if at all) as determined by the Administrator.

 5.    Payment of Awards. 

(a)    Right to Receive Payment. Each Actual Award will be paid solely from the general assets of the Company Group.
Nothing in this Plan will be construed to create a trust or to establish or evidence any Participant’s claim of any right other than as an unsecured general creditor with respect to any payment to which the Participant may be entitled. 

(b)    Timing of Payment. Payment of each Actual Award will be made as soon as practicable after the end of the
Performance Period to which the Actual Award relates and after the Actual Award is approved by the Administrator, but in no event after the later of (i) the fifteenth (15th) day of the
third (3rd) month of the Company’s taxable year immediately following the Company’s taxable year in which the Participant’s Actual Award first becomes no longer subject to a
substantial risk of forfeiture, and (ii) March 15 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant’s Actual Award first becomes no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. Unless
otherwise determined by the Administrator, to earn an Actual Award a Participant must be employed by the Company Group on the date the Actual Award is paid. 

(c)    Form of Payment. Each Actual Award generally will be paid in cash (or its equivalent) in a single lump sum.
The Administrator reserves the right to settle an Actual Award with a grant of an equity award with such terms and conditions, including any vesting requirements, as determined by the Administrator. 

(d)    Payment in the Event of Death or Disability. If a Termination of Employment occurs due to a
Participant’s death or Disability prior to payment of an Actual Award that the Administrator has determined will be paid for a prior Performance Period, then the Actual Award will be paid to the Participant or the Participant’s estate, as
the case may be, subject to the Administrator’s discretion to reduce or eliminate any Actual Award otherwise payable.

 6.    General Provisions. 

(a)    Tax Matters. 

(i)    Section 409A. It is the intent that this Plan be exempt from or comply with the requirements of
Section 409A so that none of the payments to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities or ambiguous terms will be interpreted to be so exempt or so comply. Each payment
under this Plan is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). In no event will the Company Group have any liability, obligation, or
responsibility to reimburse, indemnify or hold harmless any Participant or other Employee for any taxes, penalties or interest imposed, or other costs incurred, as a result of Section 409A. 

(ii)    Withholding Obligations. The Company Group will have the right and authority to deduct from any Actual
Award all applicable Tax Withholdings. Prior to the payment of an Actual Award or such earlier time as any Tax Withholdings are due, the Company Group is permitted to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company Group, an
amount sufficient to satisfy any Tax Withholdings with respect to such Actual Award. 
 (b)    No Effect on
Employment or Service. Neither the Plan nor any award under the Plan will confer upon a Participant any right regarding continuing the Participant’s relationship as an Employee or other service provider to the Company Group, nor will they
interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company Group or the Participant to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause, to the extent permitted by applicable laws. 

(c)    Forfeiture Events. 

(i)    Clawback Policy; Applicable Laws. All awards under the Plan will be subject to reduction, cancellation,
forfeiture, or recoupment in accordance with any clawback policy that the Company Group is required to adopt pursuant to the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which the Company’s securities are listed or as
is otherwise required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other applicable laws. In addition, the Administrator may impose such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions with respect to an award under the Plan
as the Administrator determines necessary or appropriate, including without limitation a reacquisition right in respect of previously acquired cash, stock, or other property provided with respect to an award. Unless this Section 6(c)(i) is
specifically mentioned and waived in a written agreement between a Participant and a member of the Company Group or other document, no recovery of compensation under a clawback policy will give the Participant the right to resign for “good
reason” or “constructive termination” (or similar term) under any agreement with a member of the Company Group. 

(ii)    Additional Forfeiture Terms. The Administrator may specify when providing for an award under the Plan that
the Participant’s rights, payments, and benefits with respect to the award will be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, or recoupment upon the occurrence of specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or
performance conditions of the award. Such events may include, without limitation, termination of the Participant’s status as an Employee for “cause” or any act by a Participant, whether before or after the Participant’s status as
an Employee terminates, that would constitute “cause.”

 (iii)    Accounting Restatements. If the Company is required to
prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, then any Participant who knowingly or through gross negligence engaged
in the misconduct, or who knowingly or through gross negligence failed to prevent the misconduct, and any Participant who is one of the individuals subject to automatic forfeiture under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, will
reimburse the Company Group the amount of any payment with respect to an award earned or accrued during the twelve (12) month period following the first public issuance or filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (whichever first
occurred) of the financial document embodying such financial reporting requirement. 
 (d)    Successors. All
obligations of the Company under the Plan, with respect to awards under the Plan, will be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or
otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company. 
 (e)    Nontransferability of
Awards. No award under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and except as provided in Section 5(d). All rights with
respect to an award granted to a Participant will be available during his or her lifetime only to the Participant. 

7.    Amendment, Termination, and Duration. 

(a)    Amendment, Suspension, or Termination. The Administrator may amend or terminate the Plan, or any part
thereof, at any time and for any reason. The amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan will not, without the consent of the Participant, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Actual Award earned by such Participant. No award may
be granted during any period of suspension or after termination of the Plan. 
 (b)    Duration of Plan. The Plan
will commence on the date first adopted by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board, and subject to Section 7(a) (regarding the Administrator’s right to amend or terminate the Plan), will remain in effect thereafter until
terminated. 
 8.    Legal Construction. 

(a)    Gender and Number. Unless otherwise indicated by the context, any feminine term used herein also will include
the masculine and any masculine term used herein also will include the feminine; the plural will include the singular and the singular will include the plural. 

(b)    Severability. If any provision of the Plan is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable for any reason in any jurisdiction or as to any Participant, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan will be construed and enforced as if the invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable provision had not been included. 

  
 -7- 













 (c)    Governing Law. The Plan and all awards will be construed
in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of California, but without regard to its conflict of law provisions. 

(d)    Bonus Plan. The Plan is intended to be a “bonus program” as defined under U.S. Department of Labor
regulations section 2510.3-2(c) and will be construed and administered in accordance with such intention. 

(e)    Headings. Headings are provided herein for convenience only, and will not serve as a basis for
interpretation or construction of the Plan. 
 9.    Compliance with Applicable Laws. Awards under the Plan
(including without limitation the granting of such awards) will be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.
