ARTICLE ONE 

GENERAL PROVISIONS 
  

	 	I.	PURPOSE OF THE PLAN 

This 2008 Stock Incentive Plan is intended to promote the interests of Corsair Memory, Inc., a Delaware corporation, by
providing eligible persons in the Corporation’s employ or service with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest, or otherwise increase their proprietary interest, in the Corporation as an incentive for them to continue in such employ

(i)        the Option Grant Program under which
eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be granted options to purchase shares of Common Stock, and 

(ii)       the Stock Issuance Program under which
eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be issued shares of Common Stock directly, either through the immediate purchase of such shares or as a bonus for services rendered the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary) or
pursuant to restricted stock units or other share right awards which vest upon the completion of a designated service period or the attainment of pre-established performance milestones. 

B. The provisions of Articles One and Four shall apply to both equity programs under the Plan and shall accordingly
govern the interests of all persons under the Plan. 
  

	 	III.	ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN 

A. The Plan shall be administered by the Board. However, any or all administrative functions otherwise exercisable by
the Board may be delegated to the Committee. Members of the Committee shall serve for such period of time as the Board may determine and shall be subject to removal by the Board at any time. The Board may also at any

 
time terminate the functions of the Committee and reassume all powers and authority previously delegated to the Committee. 

B. The Plan Administrator shall have full power and authority (subject to the provisions of the Plan) to establish such
rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate for proper administration of the Plan and to make such determinations under, and issue such interpretations of, the Plan and any outstanding options or stock issuances thereunder as it may deem
necessary or advisable. Decisions of the Plan Administrator shall be final and binding on all parties who have an interest in the Plan or any option grant or stock issuance thereunder. 

 

	 	IV.	ELIGIBILITY 

A. The persons eligible to participate in the Plan are as follows: 

(i)        Employees, 

(ii)       non-employee members of the Board or the
non-employee members of the board of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary, and 

(iii)      consultants and other independent advisors who
provide services to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary). 
 B. The Plan Administrator shall have full
authority to determine, (i) with respect to the grants made under the Option Grant Program, which eligible persons are to receive such grants, the time or times when those grants are to be made, the number of shares to be covered by each such
grant, the status of the granted option as either an Incentive Option or a Non-Statutory Option, the time or times when each option is to become exercisable, the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the option shares and the maximum term for
which the option is to remain outstanding, and (ii) with respect to stock issuances or other stock-based awards under the Stock Issuance Program, which eligible persons are to receive such issuances or awards, the time or times when those
issuances or awards are to be made, the number of shares subject to such issuance or award, the applicable vesting schedule and the cash consideration (if any) to be paid by the Participant for such shares. 

C. The Plan Administrator shall have the absolute discretion either to grant options in accordance with the Option Grant
Program or to effect stock issuances and other stock-based awards in accordance with the Stock Issuance Program. 
  

	 	V.	STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN 

A. The stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock. The maximum
number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued over the term of the Plan shall not exceed 14,830,000 shares. 

B. Shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options, restricted stock units or share right awards shall be
available for subsequent issuance under the Plan to the extent (i) those options, units or awards, expire, terminate or are cancelled for any reason prior 

 

 2 

 
to the issuance of the underlying shares of Common Stock or (ii) the options are cancelled in accordance with the cancellation-regrant provisions of Article Two. 

C. Unvested shares issued under the Plan and subsequently forfeited shall be added back to the number of shares of
Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan and shall accordingly be available for reissuance through one or more subsequent option grants or direct stock issuances under the Plan. 

D. In the event of any of the following transactions affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the
Corporation’s receipt of consideration: any stock split, stock dividend, spin-off transaction, extraordinary distribution (whether in cash, securities or other property), recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other
similar transaction affecting the outstanding Common Stock without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration or in the event of a substantial reduction to the value of the outstanding shares of Common Stock by reason of a spin-off transaction
or extraordinary distribution, then equitable adjustments shall be made to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the Plan, (ii) the number and/or class of securities and the exercise price per share in effect
under each outstanding option and (iii) the number and/or class of securities subject to each outstanding restricted stock unit or other share right award and the cash consideration (if any) payable per share. The adjustments shall be made by
the Plan Administrator in such manner as the Plan Administrator deems appropriate, and those adjustments shall be final, binding and conclusive. In no event shall any such adjustments be made in connection with the conversion of one or more
outstanding shares of the Corporation’s preferred stock into shares of Common Stock.

 ARTICLE TWO 

OPTION GRANT PROGRAM 
  

	 	I.	OPTION TERMS 

Each option shall be evidenced by one or more documents in the form approved by the Plan Administrator; provided,
however, that each such document shall comply with the terms specified below. Each document evidencing an Incentive Option shall, in addition, be subject to the provisions of the Plan applicable to such options. 

A. Exercise Price. 

1. The exercise price per share shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator but shall not be less than one hundred percent
(100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date. 
 2. The exercise
price shall become immediately due upon exercise of the option and shall, subject to the provisions of Section I of Article Four and the documents evidencing the option, be payable in cash or check made payable to the Corporation. Should the Common
Stock be registered under Section 12 of the 1934 Act at the time the option is exercised, then the exercise price may also be paid as follows: 

(i)        in shares of Common Stock held for
the period (if any) necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation’s earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date, or 

(ii)       to the extent the option is exercised for
vested shares, through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Optionee shall concurrently provide irrevocable instructions (A) to a brokerage firm (reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation for purposes of administering
such procedure in compliance with any applicable pre-clearance or pre-notification requirements) to effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient
funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation by reason of such exercise and (B) to the Corporation to deliver the
certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm on the settlement date in order to complete the sale. 

Except to the extent such sale and remittance procedure is utilized, payment of the exercise price for the purchased
shares must be made on the Exercise Date. 
 B. Exercise and Term of Options. Each option shall
be exercisable at such time or times, during such period and for such number of shares as shall be determined by the 

 

 4 

 
Plan Administrator and set forth in the documents evidencing the option grant. However, no option shall have a term in excess of ten (10) years measured from the option grant date.

 C. Effect of Termination of Service. 

1.   The following provisions shall govern the exercise of any options held by the Optionee at the time of
cessation of Service or death: 

(i)        Should the Optionee cease to remain
in Service for any reason other than death, Disability or Misconduct, then the Optionee shall have a period of three (3) months from the date of such cessation of Service during which to exercise each outstanding option held by such Optionee.

 (ii)       Should Optionee’s Service
terminate by reason of Disability, then the Optionee shall have a period of twelve (12) months from the date of such cessation of Service during which to exercise each outstanding option held by such Optionee. 

(iii)       If the Optionee dies while holding an
outstanding option, then the personal representative of his or her estate or the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee’s will or the laws of inheritance or the Optionee’s designated beneficiary or
beneficiaries of that option shall have a twelve (12)-month period from the date of the Optionee’s death to exercise such option. 

(iv)       Under no circumstances, however, shall any
such option be exercisable after the specified expiration of the option term. 

(v)        During the applicable post-Service
exercise period, the option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of Vested Shares for which the option is exercisable on the date of the Optionee’s cessation of Service. No additional shares shall vest under the option
following the Optionee’s cessation of Service, except to the extent (if any) specifically authorized by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion pursuant to an express written agreement with Optionee. Upon the expiration of the applicable
exercise period or (if earlier) upon the expiration of the option term, the option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding. 

(vi)       Should Optionee’s Service be
terminated for Misconduct or should Optionee otherwise engage in Misconduct while holding one or more outstanding options under the Plan, then all those options shall terminate immediately and cease to remain outstanding. 

2.   The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable either at the time an option is granted or at any time
while the option remains outstanding, to: 
  

 5 

(i)        extend the period of time for which
the option is to remain exercisable following Optionee’s cessation of Service or death from the limited period otherwise in effect for that option to such greater period of time as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate, but in no event
beyond the expiration of the option term, and/or 

(ii)       permit the option to be exercised, during
the applicable post-Service exercise period, not only with respect to the number of vested shares of Common Stock for which such option is exercisable at the time of the Optionee’s cessation of Service but also with respect to one or more
additional installments in which the Optionee would have vested under the option had the Optionee continued in Service. 

D.   Stockholder Rights.   The holder of an option shall have no stockholder rights
with respect to the shares subject to the option until such person shall have exercised the option, paid the exercise price and become the recordholder of the purchased shares. 

E.    Limited Transferability of Options. 

1.   An Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee during his or her lifetime, and such
Incentive Stock Option, together with the shares of Common Stock subject to that option during the period prior to exercise, shall not be assignable or transferable other than by will or by the laws of inheritance following the Optionee’s
death. 
 2.   A Non-Statutory Option, together with the shares of Common Stock subject to that
option during the period prior to exercise, shall be subject to the same transfer restrictions as set forth in subparagraph 1 above, except that a Non-Statutory Option, together with the underlying unexercised shares of Common Stock, may be assigned
in whole or in part during the Optionee’s lifetime by gift or pursuant to a domestic relations order to one or more of the Optionee’s Family Members or to a trust established exclusively for the Optionee and/or one or more such Family
Members. The assigned portion may only be exercised by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the Non-Statutory Option pursuant to the assignment. The terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect
for the option immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such documents issued to the assignee as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate. 

3.   Notwithstanding subparagraphs 1 and 2 above, the Optionee may also designate one or more Family Members
as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of his or her outstanding options under the Plan, and those options shall, in accordance with such designation, automatically be transferred to such beneficiary or beneficiaries upon the Optionee’s death
while holding those options. Such beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the transferred options subject to all the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement evidencing each such transferred option, including (without limitation) the limited
time period during which the option may be exercised following the Optionee’s death. 
  

 6 

 4.   Prior to the date the Corporation first becomes subject to
the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, outstanding options under the Plan, together with the shares of Common Stock subject to those options during the period prior to exercise, shall not be the subject of any short
position, put equivalent position (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the 1934 Act) or call equivalent position (as such term is defined Rule 16a-1(b) of the 1934 Act). 

5.   Except as otherwise provided in subparagraph 1, 2 or 3 above, until the date the Corporation first
becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, outstanding options under the Plan, together with the shares of Common Stock subject to those options during the period prior to exercise, shall not be the
subject of any pledges, gifts, hypothecations or other transfers, other than in connection with a Change in Control of the Corporation in which such options shall terminate and cease to be outstanding. 

 

	 	II.	INCENTIVE OPTIONS 

The terms specified below shall be applicable to all Incentive Options. Except as modified by the provisions of this
Section II, all the provisions of Articles One, Two and Four shall be applicable to Incentive Options. Options which are specifically designated as Non-Statutory Options shall not be subject to the terms of this Section II. 

A.   Eligibility.   Incentive Options may only be granted to Employees. 

B.   Dollar Limitation.   The aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Common
Stock (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) for which one or more options granted to any Employee under the Plan (or any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) may for the first time become exercisable
as Incentive Options during any one (1) calendar year shall not exceed the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). To the extent the Employee holds two (2) or more such options which become exercisable for the first time in the
same calendar year, the foregoing limitation on the exercisability of such options as Incentive Options shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such options are granted, except to the extent otherwise provided under applicable law or
regulation. 
 C.   10% Stockholder.   If any Employee to whom an Incentive
Option is granted is a 10% Stockholder, then the option term shall not exceed five (5) years measured from the option grant date, and the exercise price per share shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market
Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date. 
  

	 	III.	CHANGE IN CONTROL 

A.   The shares subject to each option outstanding under the Plan at the time of a Change in Control shall
automatically vest in full so that each such option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, become exercisable for all of the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to that option and may be exercised for any or
all of those shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock. However, the shares subject to an outstanding 
  

 7 

 
option shall not vest on such an accelerated basis if and to the extent: (i) such option is assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continued in full force and
effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction or (ii) such option is to be replaced with a cash incentive program of the Corporation or any successor corporation which preserves the spread existing on the unvested option
shares at the time of the Change in Control (the excess of the Fair Market Value of those shares over the aggregate exercise price payable for such shares) and provides for subsequent payout of that spread in accordance with the same vesting
schedule applicable to those unvested option shares or (iii) the acceleration of such option is subject to other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time of the option grant. 

B.   Immediately following the consummation of the Change in Control, all outstanding options shall terminate
and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the Successor Corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continued in effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction. 

C.   Each option which is assumed in connection with a Change in Control or otherwise continued in effect
shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Change in Control, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Change in Control, had the option been exercised
immediately prior to such Change in Control. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to (i) the number and class of securities available for issuance under the Plan following the consummation of such Change in Control and (ii) the
exercise price payable per share under each outstanding option, provided the aggregate exercise price payable for such securities shall remain the same. To the extent the actual holders of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock receive cash
consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control, the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption or continuation of the outstanding options under this Plan, substitute one or more shares of its own
common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Change in Control. 

D.   The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable either at the time the option is granted or
at any time while the option remains outstanding, to structure one or more options so that those options shall automatically accelerate and vest in full upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, whether or not those options are to be assumed in
the Change in Control or otherwise continued in effect. 
 E.   The Plan Administrator shall also
have full power and authority, exercisable either at the time the option is granted or at any time while the option remains outstanding, to structure such option so that the shares subject to that option will automatically vest on an accelerated
basis should the Optionee’s Service terminate by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of any Change in Control in which the option is assumed or
otherwise continued in effect. Any option so accelerated shall remain exercisable for the fully-vested option shares until the expiration or sooner termination of the option term. 

 

 8 

 F.   The portion of any Incentive Option accelerated in
connection with a Change in Control shall remain exercisable as an Incentive Option only to the extent the applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation is not exceeded. To the extent such dollar limitation is exceeded, the
accelerated portion of such option shall be exercisable as a Non-Statutory Option under the Federal tax laws. 

G.   The grant of options under the Plan shall in no way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust,
reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. 

 

	 	IV.	CANCELLATION AND REGRANT OF OPTIONS 

The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to effect, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of the
affected option holders, the cancellation of any or all outstanding options under the Plan and to grant in substitution therefor new options covering the same or different number of shares of Common Stock but with an exercise price per share based
on the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the new option grant date. 
  

	 	V.	FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

In the event there are at any time five hundred (500) or more holders of outstanding options under the Plan, the
Corporation shall provide to each such option holder, at the time the outstanding options first become held by five hundred (500) holders and at successive six (6)-month intervals thereafter, financial statements that meet the requirements of
Rule 701(e)(4) under the 1933 Act and that are at the time of distribution not more than one hundred and eighty (180) days old. Such obligation shall continue until such time as the Corporation becomes subject to the reporting requirements of
Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act or (if earlier) no longer relies on the exemption from such reporting requirements provided by Rule 12h-1(g) under the 1934 Act.

 ARTICLE THREE 

STOCK ISSUANCE PROGRAM 
  

	 	I.	STOCK ISSUANCE TERMS 

Shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program through direct and immediate issuances without any
intervening option grants. Each such stock issuance shall be evidenced by a Stock Issuance Agreement which complies with the terms specified below. Shares of Common Stock may also be issued under the Stock Issuance Program pursuant to share right
awards or restricted stock units which entitle the recipients to receive the shares underlying those awards or units upon the attainment of designated performance goals or the satisfaction of specified Service requirements or upon the expiration of
a designated time period following the vesting of those awards or units. 
 A.   Issue
Price. 
 1.   The issue price per share shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator but
shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the issue date. 

2.   Subject to the provisions of Section I of Article Four, shares of Common Stock may be issued under the
Stock Issuance Program for any of the following items of consideration which the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate in each individual instance: 

(i)        cash or check made payable to the
Corporation, 
 (ii)       past services
rendered to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary), or 

(iii)      any other valid consideration under the
Delaware General Corporation Law. 
 B.   Vesting Provisions. 

1.   Shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program may, in the discretion of the Plan
Administrator, be fully and immediately vested upon issuance or may vest in one or more installments over the Participant’s period of Service or upon attainment of specified performance objectives. Shares of Common Stock may also be issued
under the Stock Issuance Program pursuant to share right awards or restricted stock units which entitle the recipients to receive the shares underlying those awards or units upon the attainment of designated performance goals or the satisfaction of
specified Service requirements or upon the expiration of a designated time period following the vesting of those awards or units, including (without limitation) a deferred distribution date following the termination of the Participant’s
Service. 
  

 10 

 2.   Any new, substituted or additional securities or other
property (including money paid other than as a regular cash dividend) which the Participant may have the right to receive with respect to the Participant’s unvested shares of Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, spin-off
transaction, extraordinary distribution (whether in cash, securities or other property), recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other similar change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the
Corporation’s receipt of consideration shall be issued subject to (i) the same vesting requirements applicable to the Participant’s unvested shares of Common Stock and (ii) such escrow arrangements as the Plan Administrator shall
deem appropriate. 
 3.   The Participant shall have full stockholder rights with respect to any
shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant under the Stock Issuance Program, whether or not the Participant’s interest in those shares is vested. Accordingly, the Participant shall have the right to vote such shares and to receive any
regular cash dividends paid on such shares. The Participant shall not have any stockholder rights with respect to the share of Common Stock subject to a restricted stock unit or share right award until that award vests and the shares of Common Stock
are actually issued thereunder. However, dividend-equivalent units may be paid or credited, either in cash or in actual or phantom shares of Common Stock, on outstanding restricted stock unit or share right awards, subject to such terms and
conditions as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate. 
 4.   Should the Participant cease to
remain in Service while holding one or more unvested shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program or should the performance objectives not be attained with respect to one or more such unvested shares of Common Stock, then those
shares shall be immediately surrendered to the Corporation for cancellation, and the Participant shall have no further stockholder rights with respect to those shares. To the extent the surrendered shares were previously issued to the Participant
for consideration paid in cash or cash equivalent (including the Participant’s purchase-money indebtedness), the Corporation shall repay to the Participant the lower of (i) the cash consideration paid for the surrendered shares or
(ii) the Fair Market Value of those shares at the time of Participant’s cessation of Service and shall cancel the unpaid principal balance of any outstanding purchase-money note of the Participant attributable to such surrendered shares by
the applicable clause (i) or (ii) amount. 
 5.   The Plan Administrator may in its
discretion waive the surrender and cancellation of one or more unvested shares of Common Stock (or other assets attributable thereto) which would otherwise occur upon the non-completion of the vesting schedule applicable to those shares. Such waiver
shall result in the immediate vesting of the Participant’s interest in the shares of Common Stock as to which the waiver applies. Such waiver may be effected at any time, whether before or after the Participant’s cessation of Service or
the attainment or non-attainment of the applicable performance objectives. 
 6.   Outstanding share
right awards or restricted stock units under the Stock Issuance Program shall automatically terminate, and no shares of Common Stock shall actually be issued in satisfaction of those awards or units, if the performance goals or Service requirements
established for such awards or units are not attained or satisfied. The Plan 
  

 11 

 
Administrator, however, shall have the discretionary authority to issue vested shares of Common Stock under one or more outstanding share right awards or restricted stock units as to which the
designated performance goals or Service requirements have not been attained or satisfied. 
  

	 	II.	CHANGE IN CONTROL 

A. Each restricted stock unit or share right award outstanding at the time of a Change in Control shall be assumable by
the Successor Corporation (or parent thereof) or may otherwise be continued in effect pursuant to the terms of such Change in Control Transaction. Each restricted stock unit or share right award which is so assumed or otherwise continued in effect
shall be adjusted immediately after the consummation of that Change in Control so as to apply to the number and class of securities into which the shares of Common Stock subject to the award immediately prior to the Change in Control would have been
converted in consummation of such Change in Control had those shares actually been outstanding at that time. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the cash consideration (if any) price payable per share under each outstanding restricted
stock unit or share right award, provided the aggregate cash consideration payable for such securities shall remain the same. To the extent the actual holders of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their
Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control, the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption or continuation of the outstanding restricted stock units or share right awards, substitute one or more shares of its own common
stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Change in Control transaction. If any such restricted stock unit or share right award is not so assumed or otherwise continued in effect, or
if such unit or award is not replaced with a cash incentive award which preserves the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock underlying that unit or award at the time of the Change in Control and provides for subsequent payout of that dollar amount
in accordance with the vesting schedule in effect for such unit or award at the time of the Change in Control, then such unit or award shall vest, and the shares of Common Stock subject to such unit or award shall become issuable, immediately prior
to the consummation of the Change in Control. 
 B. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary
authority to structure one or more unvested stock issuances or one or more restricted stock unit or other share right awards under the Stock Issuance Program so that the shares of Common Stock subject to those issuances or awards shall automatically
vest (or vest and become issuable) in whole or in part immediately upon the occurrence of a Change in Control or upon the subsequent termination of the Participant’s Service by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period
(not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of that Change in Control transaction. 
  

	 	III.	SHARE ESCROW/LEGENDS 

Unvested shares may, in the Plan Administrator’s discretion, be held in escrow by the Corporation until the
Participant’s interest in such shares vests or may be issued directly to the Participant with restrictive legends on the certificates evidencing those unvested shares. 

 

 12 

 ARTICLE FOUR 

MISCELLANEOUS 
  

	 	I.	FINANCING 

The Plan Administrator may permit any Optionee or Participant to pay the option exercise price under the Option Grant
Program or the purchase price for shares issued under the Stock Issuance Program by delivering a full-recourse promissory note payable in one or more installments which bears interest at a market rate and is secured by the purchased shares. In no
event, however, may the maximum credit available to the Optionee or Participant exceed the sum of (i) the aggregate option exercise price or purchase price payable for the purchased shares plus (ii) any applicable income and employment tax
liability incurred by the Optionee or the Participant in connection with the option exercise or share purchase. 
  

	 	II.	EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF PLAN 

A.   The Plan shall become effective when adopted by the Board, but no option granted under the Plan may be
exercised, and no shares shall be issued under the Plan, until the Plan is approved by the Corporation’s stockholders. If such stockholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months after the date of the Board’s adoption of
the Plan, then all options previously granted under the Plan shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, and no further options shall be granted and no shares shall be issued under the Plan. Subject to such limitation, the Plan Administrator may
grant options and issue shares under the Plan at any time after the effective date of the Plan and before the date fixed herein for termination of the Plan. 

B.   The Plan shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) the expiration of the ten (10)-year period
measured from the date the Plan is adopted by the Board, (ii) the date on which all shares available for issuance under the Plan shall have been issued as vested shares or (iii) the termination of all outstanding options in connection with
a Change in Control. All options and unvested stock issuances outstanding at the time of a clause (i) termination event shall continue to have full force and effect in accordance with the provisions of the documents evidencing those options or
issuances. 
  

	 	III.	AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN 

A.   The Board shall have complete and exclusive power and authority to amend or modify the Plan in any or all
respects. However, no such amendment or modification shall adversely affect the rights and obligations with respect to options or unvested stock issuances at the time outstanding under the Plan unless the Optionee or the Participant consents to such
amendment or modification. In addition, certain amendments may require stockholder approval pursuant to applicable laws and regulations. 

B.   Options may be granted under the Option Grant Program and shares may be issued under the Stock Issuance
Program which are in each instance in excess of the number of 
  

 13 

 
shares of Common Stock then available for issuance under the Plan, provided any excess shares actually issued under those programs shall be held in escrow until there is obtained stockholder
approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan. If such stockholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months after the date the first such excess grants or
issuances are made, then (i) any unexercised options granted on the basis of such excess shares shall terminate and cease to be outstanding and (ii) the Corporation shall promptly refund to the Optionees and the Participants the exercise
or purchase price paid for any excess shares issued under the Plan and held in escrow, together with interest (at the applicable Short Term Federal Rate) for the period the shares were held in escrow, and such shares shall thereupon be automatically
cancelled and cease to be outstanding. 
  

	 	IV.	USE OF PROCEEDS 

Any cash proceeds received by the Corporation from the sale of shares of Common Stock under the Plan shall be used for
general corporate purposes. 
  

	 	V.	WITHHOLDING 

The Corporation’s obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of any options granted under the

 A-4Form of Stock Option Agreement under the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan

 Exhibit 10.9 

CORSAIR MEMORY, INC.  

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 

RECITALS 

A.        The Board has adopted the Plan for the purpose of retaining the
services of selected Employees, non-employee members of the Board or the board of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary and consultants and other independent advisors in the service of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary). 

B.        Optionee is to render valuable services to the Corporation (or a
Parent or Subsidiary), and this Agreement is executed pursuant to, and is intended to carry out the purposes of, the Plan in connection with the Corporation’s grant of an option to Optionee. 

C.        All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning
assigned to them in the attached Appendix. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

 1.        Grant of Option.   The Corporation
hereby grants to Optionee, as of the Grant Date, an option to purchase up to the number of Option Shares specified in the Grant Notice. The Option Shares shall be purchasable from time to time during the option term specified in Paragraph 2 at the
Exercise Price. 
 2.        Option Term.  
This option shall have a term of ten (10) years measured from the Grant Date and shall accordingly expire at the close of business on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with Paragraph 5 or 6. 

3.        Limited Transferability. 

(a)        This option, together with the Option Shares during the period prior
to exercise, shall be neither transferable nor assignable by Optionee other than by will or the laws of inheritance following Optionee’s death and may be exercised, during Optionee’s lifetime, only by Optionee. However, Optionee may
designate one or more Family Members as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of this option, and this option shall, in accordance with such designation, automatically be transferred to such beneficiary or beneficiaries upon the Optionee’s death
while holding this option. Such beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the transferred option subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including (without limitation) the limited time period during which this option may, pursuant
to Paragraph 5, be exercised following Optionee’s death. 

(b)        If this option is designated a Non-Statutory Option in the Grant
Notice, then this option, together with the unexercised Option Shares, shall be subject to the same transfer restrictions as set forth in Paragraph 3(a), except that such option, together with the underlying unexercised Option Shares, may be
assigned in whole or in part during the 

 
Optionee’s lifetime by gift or pursuant to a domestic relations order to one or more of Optionee’s Family Members or to a trust established for the exclusive benefit of Optionee and/or
one or more such Family Members. The assigned portion shall be exercisable only by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the option pursuant to such assignment. The terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as
those in effect for this option immediately prior to such assignment. 

(c)        Prior to the date the Corporation first becomes subject to the
reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, this option, together with the underlying unexercised Option Shares, shall not be the subject of any short position, put equivalent position (as such term is defined in Rule
16a-1(h) under the 1934 Act) or call equivalent position (as such term is defined Rule 16a-1(b) of the 1934 Act). 

(d)        Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 3(a) or 3(b), until the
date the Corporation first becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, this option, together with the underlying unexercised Option Shares, shall not be the subject of any pledges, gifts, hypothecations
or other transfers, other than in connection with a Change in Control in which this option, together with all other options outstanding under the Plan at such time, shall terminate and cease to be outstanding. 

4.        Dates of Exercise.  This option shall become
exercisable for the Option Shares in one or more installments as specified in the Grant Notice. As the option becomes exercisable for such installments, those installments shall accumulate, and the option shall remain exercisable for the accumulated
installments until the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the option term under Paragraph 5 or 6. 

5.        Cessation of Service.  The option term
specified in Paragraph 2 shall terminate (and this option shall cease to be outstanding) prior to the Expiration Date should any of the following provisions become applicable: 

(a)        Should Optionee cease to remain in Service for any reason (other than
death, Disability or Misconduct) while this option is outstanding, then Optionee (or any person or persons to whom this option is transferred pursuant to a permitted transfer under Paragraph 3) shall have a period of three (3) months
(commencing with the date of such cessation of Service) during which to exercise this option, but in no event shall this option be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date. 

(b)        Should Optionee die while this option is outstanding, then the
personal representative of Optionee’s estate or the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to Optionee’s will or the laws of inheritance following Optionee’s death or, if applicable, the person to whom the option
is transferred during Optionee’s lifetime pursuant to a permitted transfer under Paragraph 3 shall have the right to exercise this option. However, if Optionee dies while holding this option and has an effective beneficiary designation in
effect for this option at the time of his or her death, then the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries shall have the exclusive right to exercise this option following Optionee’s death. Any such right to exercise this option shall lapse, and
this option shall cease to be outstanding, upon the earlier of 
  

 2 

 
(i) the expiration of the twelve (12)-month period measured from the date of Optionee’s death or (ii) the Expiration Date. 

(c)        Should Optionee cease Service by reason of Disability while this
option is outstanding, then Optionee (or any person or persons to whom this option is transferred pursuant to a permitted transfer under Paragraph 3) shall have a period of twelve (12) months (commencing with the date of such cessation of
Service) during which to exercise this option. In no event shall this option be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date. 
  

	
	     Note:   Exercise of this option on a date later than three (3) months following
cessation of Service due to Disability will result in loss of favorable Incentive Option treatment, unless such Disability constitutes Permanent Disability. In the event that Incentive Option treatment is not available, this option will be
taxed as a Non-Statutory Option upon exercise.

(d)        During the limited period of post-Service exercisability, this option
may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of Option Shares in which Optionee is, at the time of Optionee’s cessation of Service, vested pursuant to the Vesting Schedule specified in the Grant Notice or the special vesting
acceleration provisions of Paragraph 6. No additional Option Shares shall vest, whether pursuant to the normal Vesting Schedule specified in the Grant Notice or the special vesting acceleration provisions of Paragraph 6, following Optionee’s
cessation of Service, except to the extent (if any) specifically authorized by the Plan Administrator pursuant to an express written agreement with Optionee. Upon the expiration of such limited exercise period or (if earlier) upon the Expiration
Date, this option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any vested Option Shares for which the option has not been exercised. 

(e)        Should Optionee’s Service be terminated for Misconduct or should
Optionee otherwise engage in Misconduct while this option is outstanding, then this option shall terminate immediately and cease to remain outstanding. 

6.        Change in Control. 

(a)        Should a Change in Control occur during the Optionee’s period of
Service, then the Option Shares at the time subject to this option but not otherwise vested shall automatically vest in full so that this option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, become exercisable for all of
the Option Shares as fully vested shares and may be exercised for any or all of those Option Shares as vested shares. However, the Option Shares shall not vest on such an accelerated basis if and to the extent: (i) this option is
assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction are assigned to such successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continued
in effect or (ii) this option is to be replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread existing on the unvested Option Shares at the time of the Change in Control (the excess of the Fair Market
Value of those Option Shares over the Exercise Price payable for such shares) and 
  

 3 

 
provides for subsequent payout of that spread in accordance with the same Vesting Schedule applicable to those unvested Option Shares as set forth in the Grant Notice or (iii) such
accelerated vesting is otherwise precluded pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 5(d) above. 

(b)        Immediately following the Change in Control, this option shall
terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction. 

(c)        If this option is assumed in connection with a Change in Control or
otherwise continued in effect, then this option shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Change in Control, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to Optionee in consummation of such Change in
Control had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Change in Control, and appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same. To the extent that the
actual holders of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control, the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption or continuation of this
option, substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Change in Control. 

(d)        This Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the
Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. 

7.        Adjustment in Option Shares.   In the event of
any of the following transactions affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration: any stock split, stock dividend, spin-off transaction, extraordinary distribution (whether in cash,
securities or other property), recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other similar transaction affecting the Common Stock without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration or in the event of a substantial reduction to
the value of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as a result of a spin-off transaction or extraordinary distribution, then equitable adjustments shall be made to (i) the total number and/or class of securities subject to this option and
(ii) the Exercise Price. The adjustments shall be made by the Plan Administrator in such manner as the Plan Administrator deems appropriate in order to reflect such change, and those adjustments shall be final, binding and conclusive.

 8.        Stockholder Rights.   The holder
of this option shall not have any stockholder rights with respect to the Option Shares until such person shall have exercised the option, paid the Exercise Price and become the record holder of the purchased shares. 

 

 4 

 9.        Manner of
Exercising Option. 
 (a)        In order to exercise this
option with respect to all or any part of the Option Shares for which this option is at the time exercisable, Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option) must take the following actions: 

(i)         Execute and deliver to the Corporation a
Purchase Agreement for the Option Shares for which the option is exercised. 

(ii)        Pay the aggregate Exercise Price for the purchased
shares in one or more of the following forms: 

     (A)        cash or check made
payable to the Corporation; or 

     (B)        a promissory note
payable to the Corporation, but only to the extent authorized by the Plan Administrator in accordance with Paragraph 13. 

Should the Common Stock be registered under Section 12 of the 1934 Act at the time the option is
exercised, then the Exercise Price may also be paid as follows: 

     (C)        in shares of Common
Stock held by Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option) for the period (if any) necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation’s earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise
Date; or 

     (D)        to the extent the
option is exercised for vested Option Shares, through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option) shall concurrently provide irrevocable instructions (a) to a
brokerage firm (reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation for purposes of administering such procedure in compliance with any applicable pre-clearance or pre-notification requirements) to effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit
to the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the
Corporation by reason of such exercise and (b) to the Corporation to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm on such settlement date in order to complete the sale. 

Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure is utilized in connection with the option
exercise, payment of the Exercise Price must accompany the Purchase Agreement delivered to the Corporation in connection with the option exercise. 
  

 5 

(iii)        Furnish to the Corporation appropriate documentation
that the person or persons exercising the option (if other than Optionee) have the right to exercise this option. 

(iv)        Execute and deliver to the Corporation such written
representations as may be requested by the Corporation in order for it to comply with the applicable requirements of applicable securities laws. 

(v)         Make appropriate arrangements with the
Corporation (or Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Optionee) for the satisfaction of all applicable income and employment tax withholding requirements applicable to the option exercise. 

(b)        As soon as practical after the Exercise Date, the Corporation shall
issue to or on behalf of Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising this option) a certificate for the purchased Option Shares, with the appropriate legends affixed thereto. 

(c)        In no event may this option be exercised for any fractional shares.

 10.      Compliance with Laws and Regulations. 

(a)        The exercise of this option and the issuance of the Option Shares
upon such exercise shall be subject to compliance by the Corporation and Optionee with all applicable requirements of law relating thereto and with all applicable regulations of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed for trading
at the time of such exercise and issuance. 
 (b)        The inability
of the Corporation to obtain approval from any regulatory body having authority deemed by the Corporation to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to this option shall relieve the Corporation of any liability with
respect to the non-issuance or sale of the Common Stock as to which such approval shall not have been obtained. The Corporation, however, shall use its best efforts to obtain all such approvals. 

11.      Successors and Assigns.   Except to the extent otherwise
provided in Paragraphs 3 and 6, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Corporation and its successors and assigns and Optionee, Optionee’s assigns and the legal representatives, heirs and
legatees of Optionee’s estate. 

12.      Notices.   Any notice required to be given or delivered
to the Corporation under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporation at its principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to Optionee shall be in writing and addressed to Optionee at
the address indicated below Optionee’s signature line on the Grant Notice. All notices shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.

  

 6 

 13.      Financing.  
The Plan Administrator may, in its absolute discretion and without any obligation to do so, permit Optionee to pay the Exercise Price for the purchased Option Shares by delivering a full-recourse promissory note bearing interest at a market rate and
secured by those Option Shares. The payment schedule in effect for any such promissory note shall be established by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion. 

14.      Construction.   This Agreement and the option evidenced
hereby are made and granted pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and subject to the terms of the Plan. All decisions of the Plan Administrator with respect to any question or issue arising under the Plan or this Agreement shall be
conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in this option. 

15.      Governing Law.   The interpretation, performance and
enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without resort to that State’s conflict-of-laws rules. 

16.      Stockholder Approval.   If the Option Shares covered by
this Agreement exceed, as of the Grant Date, the number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan as last approved by the stockholders, then this option shall be void with respect to such excess shares, unless stockholder approval
of an amendment sufficiently increasing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan is obtained in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. 

17.      Additional Terms Applicable to an Incentive Option.   In
the event this option is designated an Incentive Option in the Grant Notice, the following terms and conditions shall also apply to the grant: 

(a)        This option shall cease to qualify for favorable tax treatment as an
Incentive Option if (and to the extent) this option is exercised for one or more Option Shares: (i) more than three (3) months after the date Optionee ceases to be an Employee for any reason other than death or Permanent Disability or
(ii) more than twelve (12) months after the date Optionee ceases to be an Employee by reason of Permanent Disability. 

(b)        This option shall not become exercisable in the calendar year in
which granted if (and to the extent) the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the Grant Date) of the Common Stock for which this option would otherwise first become exercisable in such calendar year would, when added to the aggregate value
(determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) of the Common Stock and any other securities for which one or more other Incentive Options granted to Optionee prior to the Grant Date (whether under the Plan or any other option plan of the
Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) first become exercisable during the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate. To the extent the exercisability of this option is deferred by reason of the foregoing
limitation, the deferred portion shall become exercisable in the first calendar year or years thereafter in which the One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation of this Paragraph 17(b) would not be contravened, but such deferral shall in all
events end immediately prior to the effective date of a Change in Control in which this option is not to be assumed or otherwise 

 

 7 

 
continued in effect, whereupon the option shall become immediately exercisable as a Non-Statutory Option for the deferred portion of the Option Shares. 

(c)        Should Optionee hold, in addition to this option, one or more other
options to purchase Common Stock which become exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year as this option, then for purposes of the foregoing limitations on the exercisability of such options as Incentive Options, this option and each of
those other options shall be deemed to become first exercisable in that calendar year on the basis of the chronological order in which they were granted, except to the extent otherwise provided under applicable law or regulation. 

18.      Leave of Absence.   The following provisions shall apply
upon Optionee’s commencement of an authorized leave of absence: 

(a)        During the first ninety (90) days that Optionee is on an
authorized leave of absence, this option shall continue to vest for any installment which would have otherwise vested during that ninety (90)-day period had Optionee continued in active Service. At the end of the ninety (90)-day period, all vesting
under this option shall cease and this option shall not vest for any additional Option Shares for any period of leave after that ninety (90)-day period. Accordingly, the vesting schedule for this option shall be frozen at the end of that ninety
(90)-day period, but Optionee shall have the continuing right to exercise the vested portion of the option (as determined before the vesting freeze is imposed) during the remainder of Optionee’s leave or (if earlier) until the date the option
terminates or expires. Vesting shall resume upon Optionee’s return from leave. 

(b)        In no event shall this option become exercisable or vest with respect
to any additional Option Shares or otherwise remain outstanding if Optionee does not resume Service prior to the Expiration Date.
