ARTICLE I 
GENERAL PROVISIONS
1.1    PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
This Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Plan (the "Plan") is intended to promote the interests of ZipRecruiter, 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 or service.
Capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the attached Appendix.
1.2    STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN
(a)    The Plan shall be divided into two (2) separate equity programs:
(i)    the Option Grant Program, as set forth in Article II hereof, 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, as set forth in Article III hereof, 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).
(b)    The provisions of Articles I and IV shall apply to both equity programs under the Plan and shall accordingly govern the interests of all persons under the Plan.
1.3    ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
(a)    Plan Administrator. 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)    Powers of the Plan Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and, in the case of the Committee, the specific duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, and subject to the approval of any relevant authorities, including the approval, if required, of any Stock Exchange upon which the Common Stock is listed, the Plan Administrator shall have the authority in its discretion:
(i)    to determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock;
(ii)    to select which eligible persons, pursuant to Section l.4(a), below, are to be granted options under the Option Grant Program;
(iii)    to  determine  whether,  when  and  to  what  extent  options  are  granted hereunder;
1

(iv)    to determine the vesting schedule, if any, applicable to the option shares and the maximum term for which the option is to remain outstanding, subject to Section 2.1 hereof;
(v)    to determine whether the option granted is an Incentive Option or Non-Statutory Option;
(vi)    to select which eligible persons, pursuant to Section l.4(a), below, are to receive stock issuances under the Stock Issuance Program;
(vii)    to determine whether and when stock issuances shall be made under the Stock Issuance Program;
(viii)    to determine the number of shares to be covered by each such award granted under the Stock Issuance Program;
(ix)    to determine the vesting schedule, if any, applicable to the shares issued under the Stock Issuance Program and the consideration to be paid by the Participant for such shares;
(x)    to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;
(xi)    to establish such rules and regulations as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan; and
(xii)    to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan, including the rules and regulations,  if  any,  established  in  connection  with  the  Plan,  and  any  outstanding  options  or  stock issuances thereunder as the Plan Administrator may deem necessary or advisable.
(c)    Effect of Plan Administrator's Decision. All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Plan Administrator shall be final and binding on all Optionees, all Participants and all holders of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of options.
1.4    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)    Neither the Plan nor any grant hereunder confer upon any Optionee or Participant any right with respect to continuation of his or her employment or consulting relationship with the Corporation, or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining such person, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or right of the Corporation (or Parent or Subsidiary, if applicable) to terminate his or her employment or consulting relationship at any time, with or without cause, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each.

1.5    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 1,455,000 shares (subject to Section 1.5( c) below).
(b)    Shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options shall be available for subsequent issuance under the Plan to the extent (i) the options expire or terminate for any reason prior to exercise in full, or (ii) the options are cancelled in accordance with the cancellation-regrant provisions of Article II. Unvested shares issued under the Plan and subsequently repurchased by the Corporation, at the option exercise or direct issue price paid per share, pursuant to the Corporation's repurchase rights under the Plan 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.
(c)    Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation's receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made by the Plan Administrator to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the Plan, and (ii) the number and/or class of securities and the exercise price per share in effect  under  each  outstanding  option  in  order  to  prevent  the  dilution  or  enlargement  of  benefits thereunder.

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 II

2.1    TERMS FOR ALL OPTIONS
Each option shall be evidenced by one or more documents in written or electronic form as 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.
(i)    The exercise price per share shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator in accordance with the following provisions:
(1)    The exercise price per share shall not be less than one-hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date.

3

(2)    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 Corporation-designated brokerage firm 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 Federal, state and local 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 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 Plan Administrator and set forth in the documents (in written or electronic form) 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 Continuous Service.
(i)    The following provisions shall govern the exercise of any vested options held by the Optionee at the time of cessation of Continuous Service or death:
(1)    Should the Optionee cease to remain in Continuous Service for any reason other than death, Disability or Misconduct, then the Optionee shall have a period of three (3) months following the date of such cessation of Continuous Service during which to exercise each outstanding vested option held by such Optionee.
(2)    Should  Optionee's  Continuous  Service  terminate  by reason of Disability, then the Optionee shall have a period of twelve (12) months following the date of such cessation of Continuous Service during which to exercise each outstanding vested option held by such Optionee.
(3)    If the Optionee dies while holding any outstanding vested options, 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 shall have a twelve (12) month period following the date of the Optionee's death to exercise such vested options.
(4)    Under  no  circumstances,  however,  shall  any  vested option be exercisable after the specified expiration of the option term.
(5)    During the applicable post-Continuous  Service exercise period, the Optionee may exercise any vested options as of the date of the Optionee's cessation of Continuous Service. Upon the expiration of the applicable exercise period or (if earlier) upon the expiration of the option term, vested but unexercised options shall terminate and cease to be outstanding. All unvested options held by Optionee, however, shall, immediately upon the Optionee's cessation of Continuous Service, terminate and cease to be outstanding.
4

(6)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, should Optionee's Continuous Service be terminated for Misconduct, then all outstanding options, whether vested or unvested, held by the Optionee shall terminate immediately and cease to remain outstanding.
(ii)    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:
(1)    extend  the  period  of  time  for  which  the  option  is  to remain exercisable following Optionee's cessation of Continuous 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
(2)    permit the option to be exercised, during the applicable post-Continuous  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 Continuous 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 Continuous Service.
(d)    Rule 16b-3. Options granted to a person subject to Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act must comply with Rule 16b-3 and shall contain such additional conditions or restrictions as may be required thereunder to qualify for the maximum exemption from Section 16 of the 1934 Act with respect to Plan transactions.
(e)    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,  become  the  recordholder  of  the  purchased  shares  and  executed  and  delivered  any necessary documentation to effectuate the foregoing.
(f)    Early Exercise of Unvested Shares.   The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion to grant options which are exercisable for unvested shares of Common Stock. Should the Optionee cease Continuous Service while holding such unvested shares, the Corporation shall have the right to repurchase, at the exercise price paid per share, any or all of those unvested shares. The terms upon which such repurchase right shall be exercisable (including the period and procedure for exercise and the appropriate vesting schedule for the purchased shares) shall be established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such repurchase right.
(g)    Vesting Schedule.  The Plan Administrator may impose a vesting schedule upon any option grant or the shares of Common Stock. Unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator, the vesting schedule shall be as follows: (i) twenty-five percent (25%) of the options on the first anniversary of the date of grant of the option, and (ii) the remaining seventy-five percent (75%) of the shares in equal monthly installments over a thirty-six (36) month period commencing with such anniversary.
(h)    First Refusal Rights.  Until such time as the Common Stock is first registered under Section 12 of the 1934 Act, the Corporation shall have the right of first refusal with respect to any proposed disposition by the Optionee (or any successor in interest) of any shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan. Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such right. To the extent any options granted hereunder permit early exercise, such options shall provide for a repurchase option so that upon termination of the employment or services of the Optionee, the Company (or its assignee) retains the
5

option to repurchase any unvested shares at the lower of (i) cost or (ii) fair market value of such unvested shares.
(i)    Limited Transferability of Options. During the lifetime of the Optionee, the option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee and shall not be assignable or transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution following the Optionee's death.
G)    Withholding. The Corporation's obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock upon  the  exercise  of  any  options  granted  under  the  Plan  shall  be  subject  to  the  satisfaction  of  all applicable Federal, state and local income and employment tax withholding requirements.
2.2    INCENTIVE OPTIONS
The  terms  specified  below  shall  be  applicable  to  all  Incentive  Options.  Except  as modified by the provisions of this Section 2.2, all provisions of Articles I, II and IV shall be applicable to Incentive Options. Options which are specifically designated as Non-Statutory Options shall be subject to all provisions or Articles I, II and IV, but not subject to the terms of this Section 2.2.
(a)    Eligibility. Incentive Options may only be granted to Employees.
(b)    Exercise Price. The exercise price per share shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date.
(c)    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.
(d)    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.
2.3    CORPORATE TRANSACTION
(a)    The Plan Administrator shall have full power and authority, exercisable either at the time an 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 Continuous Service terminate by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of any Corporate Transaction in which the option is assumed and the repurchase rights applicable to those shares do not otherwise terminate. The Plan Administrator also has the authority to modify the acceleration of options described herein such that the shares subject to each option outstanding under the Plan at the time of a Corporate Transaction would automatically vest in full so that each such option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Corporate Transaction, become fully 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the shares subject to an outstanding 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) in the Corporate Transaction and any repurchase rights of the Corporation
6

with respect to the unvested option shares are concurrently assigned to such successor corporation (or parent thereof), or (ii) such 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 Corporate Transaction and provides for subsequent payout 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)    Each option which is assumed in connection with a Corporate Transaction shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Corporate Transaction, had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction. 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 Corporate Transaction 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.
(c)    The portion of any Incentive Option accelerated in connection with a Corporate Transaction  shall  remain  exercisable  as  an  Incentive  Option  only  to  the  extent  the  applicable  One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000.00) 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.
(d)    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.
2.4    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.
ARTICLE III
STOCK ISSUANCE PROGRAM
3.1    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.
(a)    Purchase Price.
(i)    The purchase price per share of the Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Plan shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator.
(ii)    Subject to the provisions of Section 4.1 of Article IV, 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:

Shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program may, in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, vest in one or more installments over the Participant's period of Continuous Service or upon attainment of specified performance objectives. Unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator, the Plan Administrator may shall impose a vesting schedule upon any shares of Common Stock issued hereunder of (i) twenty-five percent (25%) of the options on the first anniversary of the issuance of the Common Stock, and (ii) the remaining seventy- five percent (75%) of the shares in equal monthly installments over a thirty-six (36) month period commencing with such anniversary.
(ii)    Additional Securities.  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, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other 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.
(iii)    Stockholder Rights. 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.
(iv)    Repurchase of Unvested Shares on Cessation of Continuous Service. Should the Participant cease to remain in Continuous 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 repurchase such shares from the Participant for the amount of cash consideration originally paid by the Participant for such shares and shall cancel the unpaid principal balance of any outstanding purchase money note of the Participant attributable to such shares.
(v)    Waiver.  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 Continuous Service or the attainment or non-attainment   of the applicable performance objectives.
(c)    First Refusal Rights. Until such time as the Common Stock is first registered under Section 12 of the 1934 Act, the Corporation shall have the right of first refusal with respect to any proposed disposition by the Participant (or any successor in interest) of any shares of Common Stock

issued under the Stock Issuance Program. Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such right.
3.2    CORPORATE TRANSACTION

(b)    Subject to 3.2(a) above, the Plan Administrator has the authority to determine that all outstanding repurchase rights under the Stock Issuance Program shall terminate automatically, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, except to the extent: (i) those repurchase rights are assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with such Corporate Transaction, or (ii) such shares of Common Stock are to be replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread between the repurchase price and the fair market value existing on the unvested shares of Common Stock at the time of the Corporate Transaction and provides for subsequent payout in accordance with the same vesting schedule applicable to those unvested shares of Common Stock, or (iii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time the repurchase right is issued.
3.3    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 appropriate restrictive legends on the certificates evidencing those unvested shares.
ARTICLE IV

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, interest bearing promissory note payable in one or more installments and secured by the purchased shares.

(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 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.

4.7    MARKET STAND-OFF
Optionees and Participants hereunder shall not sell, dispose of, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, any Common Stock or other securities of the Company held by such Optionees or Participants (the "Restricted Securities"), for a period of time specified by the managing underwriter (not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days) following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Act. Optionees and Participants shall execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Corporation and/or the managing underwriter which are consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto.

ZipRecruiter, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), hereby grants to                                          (“Grantee”), an option (the “Option” ) to purchase the total number of shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) set forth in Section A above, at the exercise price per Share (the “Exercise Price”) subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the ZipRecruiter, Inc. 2012 Stock Plan (the “Plan”) adopted by the Corporation, which is incorporated in this Agreement by reference, except as otherwise set forth herein.  Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, the terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings defined in the Plan.
2.    Designation of Option.  This Option is intended to be a [Non-Statutory/Incentive] Stock Option.
3.    Exercise  of  Option.     This  Option  shall  be  exercisable  during  its  term  m accordance with the Vesting/Exercise Schedule set out in Section A above:
(a)    Right to Exercise.
(i)    This Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a share.
(ii)    In no event may this Option be exercised after the Expiration Date of the Option as set forth in Section A above.

Such written notice shall be signed by Grantee and shall be delivered to the Corporation by such means as are determined by the Plan administrator in its discretion to constitute adequate delivery.   The written notice shall be accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price.  This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Corporation of such written notice accompanied by the Exercise Price.
(ii)    As a condition to the exercise of this Option, Grantee agrees to make adequate provision for federal, state or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise  upon  the  vesting  or  exercise  of  the  Option,  or  disposition  of  Shares,  whether  by withholding, direct payment to the Corporation, or otherwise.
(iii)    The Corporation is not obligated, and will have no liability for failure, to issue or deliver any Shares upon exercise of the Option unless such issuance or delivery would comply with the applicable laws, with such compliance determined by the Corporation in consultation with its legal counsel.   This Option may not be exercised if the issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such 
2

shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities or other law or regulation, including any rule under Part 221 of Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board.  As a condition to the exercise of this Option, the Corporation may require Grantee to make any representation and warranty to the Corporation as may be required by the applicable laws.

In the case of shares acquired directly or indirectly from the Corporation, such shares must have been owned by Grantee for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender (or such other period of time as is necessary to avoid the Corporation’s incurring adverse accounting charges); or
(d)    net share settlement or other form of “net” or “cashless” exercise, or
(e)    any other manner approved by the Plan Administrator.

5.    Termination of Relationship.   Following the date of termination of Grantee’s Continuous Service for any reason (the “Termination Date”), Grantee may exercise the Option after the Termination Date only in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, and in no event may Grantee exercise any Option after the Expiration Date of the Option as set forth in Section A above.

This Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Grantee only by him or her.   The terms of this Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of Grantee.
7.    Tax  Consequences.     GRANTEE  SHOULD  CONSULT  A  TAX  ADVISER PRIOR TO OR UPON RECEIPT OFF THIS OPTION AND BEFORE EXERCISING THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.
8.    Lock-Up Agreement.   In connection with the initial public offering of the Corporation’s securities and upon request of the Corporation or the underwriters managing any 
3

underwritten offering of the Corporation’s securities, Grantee hereby agrees not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Corporation (or agree to do any of the foregoing) however and whenever acquired (other than those included in the registration) without the prior written consent of the Corporation or such underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time (not to exceed 180 days) from the effective date of such registration as may be requested by the Corporation or such managing underwriters and to execute an agreement reflecting the foregoing as may be requested by the underwriters at the time of the public offering.
9.    Stockholders’ Agreements.  Grantee agrees that, upon exercising any portion of the Option, Grantee shall execute and deliver any document or instrument necessary to be a party to, and be bound by the terms and conditions of, any agreements binding the Stockholders of the Corporation as required by the Corporation.
10.    Acknowledgments Relating to Plan.  By your signature and the signature of the Corporation’s representative below, you and the Corporation agree that this option is granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan (except as otherwise expressly stated) and this Agreement.
11.    Effect of Agreement.   Grantee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and represents that he or she is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof (and has had an opportunity to consult counsel regarding the Option terms), and hereby accepts this Option and agrees to be bound by its contractual terms as set forth herein, in Section A of this Agreement and in the Plan.  Grantee hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions and interpretations of the Plan administrator regarding any questions relating to the Option.  In the event of a conflict between the terms and provisions of the Plan and the terms and provisions of the Summary of Stock Option Grant, this Agreement, the Plan terms and provisions shall prevail.

EXHIBIT A
ZIPRECRUITER, INC.
2012 STOCK PLAN
EXERCISE NOTICE AND STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of [as described on Carta] by and between ZipRecruiter, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), and [as described on Carta] (“Purchaser”).  To the extent any capitalized terms used in this Agreement are not defined, they shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the 2012 Stock Plan (the “Plan”).
1.    Exercise of Option.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Purchaser hereby elects to exercise his or her option to purchase [as described on Carta] shares of the Common Stock (the “Shares”) of the Corporation under and pursuant to the Plan and the Stock Option Agreement dated [as described on Carta] (the “Option Agreement”).  The purchase price for the Shares shall be $[as described on Carta] per Share for a total purchase price of $[as described on Carta].   The term “Shares” refers to the purchased Shares and all securities received in replacement of the Shares or as stock dividends or splits, all securities received in replacement of the Shares in a recapitalization, merger, reorganization, exchange or the like, and all new, substituted or additional securities or other properties to which Purchaser is entitled by reason of Purchaser’s ownership of the Shares.
2.    Time and Place of Exercise.   The purchase and sale of the Shares under this Agreement shall occur (i) at the principal office of the Corporation simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(b) of the Option Agreement or (ii) electronically upon exercise by Purchaser on an electronic acceptance platform established and maintained by the Corporation or another third party designated by the Corporation.   On such date, the Corporation will deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser an electronic certificate representing the Shares to be purchased by Purchaser (which shall be issued in Purchaser’s name) against payment of the exercise price therefor by Purchaser by any method listed in Section 4 of the Option Agreement.
3.    Limitations on Transfer.  In addition to any other limitation on transfer created by applicable securities laws, Purchaser shall not assign, encumber or dispose of any interest in the Shares except in compliance with the provisions below and applicable securities laws.
(a)    Stockholders Agreement.  Purchaser agrees that, upon and as a condition to the purchase of the Shares, Purchaser shall execute and deliver any document or instrument necessary to be a party to, and be bound by the terms and conditions of, any agreement between the Corporation and its Stockholders as required by the Corporation.
(b)    Restrictions Binding on Transferees.   All transferees of Shares or any interest therein will receive and hold such Shares or interest subject to the provisions of this Agreement.  Any sale or transfer of the Corporation’s Shares shall be void unless the provisions of this Agreement are satisfied.
(c)    Bylaws Restrictions.  Purchaser and any transferee of Shares agree that the Shares and any interest therein are subject to the right of first refusal and any and all restrictions
1

on transfer set forth in the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Bylaws”).
4.    Investment and Taxation Representations.  In connection with the purchase of the Shares, Purchaser represents to the Corporation the following:
(a)    Purchaser is aware of the Corporation’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Corporation to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares.   Purchaser is purchasing these securities for investment for his or her own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act or under any applicable provision of state law.  Purchaser does not have any present intention to transfer the Shares to any person or entity.
(b)    Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) by reason of a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein.
(c)    Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that the securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that the Corporation is under no obligation to register the securities.  Purchaser understands that the certificate(s) evidencing the securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the securities unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel for the Corporation.
(d)    Purchaser is familiar with the provisions of Rules 144 and 701, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer of the securities (or from an affiliate of such issuer), in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Purchaser understands that the Corporation provides no assurances as to whether he or she will be able to resell any or all of the Shares pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 701, which rules require, among  other  things,  that  the  Corporation  be  subject  to  the  reporting  requirements  of  the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that resales of securities take place only after the holder of the Shares has held the Shares for certain specified time periods, and under certain circumstances, that resales of securities be limited in volume and take place only pursuant to brokered transactions.  Notwithstanding this paragraph (d), Purchaser acknowledges and agrees to the restrictions set forth in paragraph (e) below.
(e)    Purchaser further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 144 or 701 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available
2

for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk.
(f)    Purchaser understands that Purchaser may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of Purchaser’s purchase or disposition of the Shares.  Purchaser represents that Purchaser has consulted any tax consultants Purchaser deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition of the Shares and that Purchaser is not relying on the Corporation for any tax advice.
5.    Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders.
(a)    Legends.  The certificate or certificates representing the Shares, including electronic certificate(s), shall bear the following legends (as well as any legends required by applicable state and federal corporate and securities laws):
(i)    THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF.  NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.
(ii)    THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CORPORATION AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION.
(iii)    THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AS PROVIDED IN THE BYLAWS OF THE CORPORATION.
(b)    Stop-Transfer  Notices.     Purchaser  agrees  that,  in  order  to  ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein and in the Bylaws, the Corporation may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Corporation transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.
(c)    Refusal to Transfer.  The Corporation shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Bylaws or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred.
6.    No Employment Rights.  Nothing in this Agreement shall affect in any manner whatsoever the right or power of the Corporation, or a parent or subsidiary of the Corporation, to terminate Purchaser’s employment or consulting relationship, for any reason, with or without cause.
3

7.    Lock-Up Agreement.   In connection with the initial public offering of the Corporation’s securities and upon request of the Corporation or the underwriters managing any underwritten offering of the Corporation’s securities, Purchaser agrees not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Corporation (or agree to do any of the foregoing) however or whenever acquired (other than those included in the registration) without the prior written consent of the Corporation or such underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time (not to exceed 180 days) from the effective date of such registration as may be requested by the Corporation or such managing underwriters and to execute an agreement reflecting the foregoing as may be requested by the underwriters at the time of the public offering.
8.    Miscellaneous.

No  modification  of  or  amendment  to  this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the parties to this Agreement.  The failure by either party to enforce any rights under this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any rights of such party.
(c)    Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii) the balance of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

ZIPRECRUITER, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED 2014 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
1.    Purpose.
The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of the Company’s stockholders by enhancing the Company’s ability to attract, retain and motivate persons who make (or are expected to make) important contributions to the Company by providing such persons with equity ownership opportunities and thereby better aligning the interests of such persons with those of the Company’s stockholders. Capitalized terms used in the Plan are defined in Section 11 below.
2    Eligibility.
Service Providers are eligible to be granted Awards under the Plan, subject to the limitations described herein.
3.    Administration and Delegation.
(a)    Administration. The Plan will be administered by the Administrator. The Administrator shall have authority to determine which Service Providers will receive Awards, to grant Awards and to set all terms and conditions of Awards (including, but not limited to, vesting, exercise and forfeiture provisions). In addition, the Administrator shall have the authority to take all actions and make all determinations contemplated by the Plan and to adopt, amend and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices relating to the Plan as it shall deem advisable. The Administrator may correct any defect or ambiguity, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award in the manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or appropriate to carry the Plan and any Awards into effect, as determined by the Administrator. The Administrator shall make all determinations under the Plan in the Administrator’s sole discretion and all such determinations shall be final and binding on all persons having or claiming any interest in the Plan or in any Award.
(b)    Appointment of Committees. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, the Board may delegate any or all of its powers under the Plan to one or more Committees. The Board may abolish any Committee at any time and re-vest in itself any previously delegated authority.
4.    Stock Available for Awards.
(a)    Number of Shares.  Subject to adjustment under Section 8 hereof, Awards may be made under the Plan covering up to Twenty-Six Million, Fifty-Seven Thousand, Eight Hundred Seventy-Two (26,057,872) shares of Common Stock. If any Award expires or lapses or is terminated, surrendered or canceled without having been fully exercised or is forfeited in whole or in part (including as the result of shares of Common Stock subject to such Award being repurchased by the Company at or below the original issuance price), in any case in a manner that results in any shares of Common Stock covered by such Award not being issued or being so reacquired by the Company, the unused Common Stock covered by such Award shall again be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan. Further, shares of Common Stock delivered (either by actual delivery or attestation) to the Company by a Participant to satisfy the applicable exercise or purchase price of Award and/or to satisfy any applicable tax withholding obligation (including shares retained by the Company from the Award being exercised or purchased and/or creating the tax obligation) shall be added to the number of shares of Common Stock available for the grant of Awards under the Plan. However, in the case of Incentive Stock Options (as hereinafter defined), the foregoing provisions shall be subject to any limitations under the Code. Shares of 
1

Common Stock issued under the Plan may consist in whole or in part of authorized but unissued shares, shares purchased on the open market or treasury shares.
(b)    Substitute Awards. In connection with a merger or consolidation of an entity with the Company or the acquisition by the Company of property or stock of an entity, the Administrator may grant Awards in substitution for any options or other stock or stock-based awards granted prior to such merger or consolidation by such entity or an affiliate thereof. Substitute Awards may be granted on such terms as the Administrator deems appropriate in the circumstances, notwithstanding any limitations on Awards contained in the Plan. Substitute Awards shall not count against the overall share limit set forth in Section 4(a) hereof, except as may be required by reason of Section 422 of the Code.
5.    Stock Options.
(a)    General. The Administrator may grant Options to any Service Provider, subject to the limitations on Incentive Stock Options described below. The Administrator shall determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by each Option, the exercise price of each Option and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of each Option, including conditions relating to Applicable Laws, as it considers necessary or advisable.
(b)    Incentive  Stock  Options.  The  Administrator  may  grant  Options  intended  to qualify as Incentive Stock Options only to employees of the Company, any of the Company’s present or future “parent corporations” or “subsidiary corporations” as defined in Sections 424(e) or (f) of the Code, respectively, and any other entities the employees of which are eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options under the Code. All Options intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options shall be subject to and shall be construed consistently with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. Neither the Company nor the Administrator shall have any liability to a Participant, or any other party, (i) if an Option (or any part thereof) which is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option fails to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option or (ii) for any action or omission by the Administrator that causes an Option not to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, including without limitation, the conversion of an Incentive Stock Option to a Non-Qualified Stock Option or the grant of an Option intended as an Incentive Stock Option that fails to satisfy the requirements under the Code applicable to an Incentive Stock Option. Any Option that is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, but fails to so qualify for any reason, including without limitation, the portion of any Option becoming exercisable in excess of the $100,000 limitation described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.422-4, shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option for all purposes.
(c)    Exercise  Price.  The  Administrator  shall  establish  the  exercise  price  of  each Option and specify the exercise price in the applicable Award Agreement. The exercise price shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date the Option is granted. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an employee who, at the time of grant of the Option, owns (or is treated as owning under Section 424 of the Code) stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (or a “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” thereof within the meaning of Sections 424(e) or 424(f) of the Code, respectively), the per share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value on the date the Option is granted.
(d)    Duration of Options. Each Option shall be exercisable at such times and subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator may specify in the applicable Award Agreement, provided that the term of any Option shall not exceed ten years. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an employee who, at the time of grant of the Option, owns (or is treated as owning under Section 424 of the Code) stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the  Company (or  a  “parent  corporation”  or  “subsidiary  corporation”  thereof  within  the  meaning  of Sections 424(e) or 424(f) of the Code, respectively), the term of the Option shall not exceed five years.
2

(e)    Exercise of Option; Notification of Disposition. Options may be exercised by delivery to the Company of a notice of exercise, in a form approved by the Administrator (which may be an electronic or written form), signed or exercised electronically by the person authorized to exercise the Option, together with payment in full (i) as specified in Section 5(f) hereof for the number of shares for which the Option is exercised and (ii) as specified in Section 9(e) hereof for any applicable withholding taxes. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, an Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a share of Common Stock. If an Option is designated as an Incentive Stock Option, the Participant shall give prompt notice to the Company of any disposition or other transfer of any shares of Common Stock acquired from the Option if such disposition or transfer is made (i) within two years from the grant date with respect to such Option or (ii) within one year after the transfer of such shares to the Participant (other than any such disposition made in connection with a Change in Control). Such notice shall specify the date of such disposition or other transfer and the amount realized, in cash, other property, assumption of indebtedness or other consideration, by the Participant in such disposition or other transfer.
(f)    Payment  Upon  Exercise. Common  Stock  purchased  upon  the  exercise  of  an Option granted under the Plan shall be paid for in cash, by check payable to the order of the Company, by electronic payment via Automatic Clearinghouse (ACH), or, to the extent permitted by the Administrator, by:
(i)    (A) delivery of an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking by a broker acceptable to the Company to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to pay the exercise  price  and  any  required  tax  withholding,  or  (B)  delivery  by  the  Participant  to  the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a broker acceptable to the Company to deliver promptly to the Company cash or a check sufficient to pay the exercise price and any required tax withholding;
(ii)    delivery (either by actual delivery or attestation) of shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant valued at their Fair Market Value, provided (A) such method of payment is then permitted under Applicable Laws, (B) such Common Stock, if acquired directly from the Company, was owned by the Participant for such minimum period of time, if any, as may be established by the Company at any time, and (C) such Common Stock is not subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements;
(iii)    surrendering shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of the Option valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise;
(iv)    delivery of a promissory note of the Participant to the Company on terms determined by the Administrator;
(v)    delivery  of  property  of  any  other  kind  which  constitutes  good  and valuable consideration as determined by the Administrator; or 
(vi)    any combination of the above permitted forms of payment (including cash or check).
(g)    Early Exercise of Options. The Administrator may provide in the terms of an Award Agreement that the Service Provider may exercise an Option in whole or in part prior to the full vesting of the Option in exchange for unvested shares of Restricted Stock with respect to any unvested portion of the Option so exercised. Shares of Restricted Stock acquired upon the exercise of any unvested portion of an Option shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine.

6.    Restricted Stock; Restricted Stock Units.
(a)    General. The Administrator may grant Restricted Stock, or the right to purchase Restricted Stock, to any Service Provider, subject to the right of the Company to repurchase all or part of such shares at their issue price or other stated or formula price from the Participant (or to require forfeiture of such shares if issued at no cost) in the event that conditions specified by the Administrator in the applicable Award Agreement are not satisfied prior to the end of the applicable restriction period or periods established by the Administrator for such Award. In addition, the Administrator may grant to Service Providers Restricted Stock Units, which may be subject to vesting and forfeiture conditions during applicable restriction period or periods, as set forth in an applicable Award Agreement.
(b)    Terms  and  Conditions  for  All  Restricted  Stock  and  Restricted  Stock  Unit Awards. The Administrator shall determine and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement the terms and conditions applicable to each Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Award, including the conditions for vesting and repurchase (or forfeiture) and the issue price, in each case, if any.
(c)    Additional Provisions Relating to Restricted Stock.
(i)    Dividends.  Participants  holding  shares  of  Restricted  Stock  will  be entitled to all ordinary cash dividends paid with respect to such shares, unless otherwise provided by the Administrator in the applicable Award Agreement. In addition, unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if any dividends or distributions are paid in shares, or consist of a dividend or distribution to holders of Common Stock of property other than an ordinary cash dividend, the shares or other property will be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid. Each dividend payment will be made as provided in the applicable Award Agreement, but in no event later than the end of the calendar year in which the dividends are paid to shareholders of that class of stock or, if later, the 15th day of the third month following the later of (A) the date the dividends are paid to stockholders of that class of stock, and (B) the date the dividends are no longer subject to forfeiture.
(ii)    Stock Certificates. The Company may require that any stock certificates issued in respect of shares of Restricted Stock be deposited in escrow by the Participant, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, with the Company (or its designee).
(d)    Additional Provisions Relating to Restricted Stock Units.
(i)    Settlement. Upon the vesting of a Restricted Stock Unit, the Participant shall be entitled to receive from the Company one share of Common Stock or an amount of cash or other property equal to the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the settlement date, as provided in the applicable Award Agreement. The Administrator may provide that settlement of Restricted Stock Units shall occur upon or as soon as reasonably practicable after the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units or shall instead be deferred, on a mandatory basis or at the election of the Participant, in a manner that complies with Section 409A.
(ii)    Voting Rights. A Participant shall have no voting rights with respect to any Restricted Stock Units unless and until shares are delivered in settlement thereof.
(iii)    Dividend Equivalents. To the extent provided by the Administrator, a grant of Restricted Stock Units may provide a Participant with the right to receive Dividend Equivalents. Dividend Equivalents may be paid currently or credited to an account for the Participant, may be settled in cash and/or shares of Common Stock and may be subject to the 
4

same restrictions on transfer and forfeitability as the Restricted Stock Units with respect to which the Dividend Equivalents are paid, as determined by the Administrator, subject, in each case, to such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.
7.    Other Stock-Based Awards.
Other Stock-Based Awards may be granted hereunder to Participants, including, without limitation, Awards entitling Participants to receive shares of Common Stock to be delivered in the future. Such Other Stock-Based Awards shall also be available as a form of payment in the settlement of other Awards granted under the Plan, as stand-alone payments and/or as payment in lieu of compensation to which a Participant is otherwise entitled. Other Stock-Based Awards may be paid in shares of Common Stock, cash or other property, as the Administrator shall determine. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Administrator shall determine the terms and conditions of each Other Stock-Based Award, including any purchase price, transfer restrictions, vesting conditions and other terms and conditions applicable thereto, which shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.
8.    Adjustments for Changes in Common Stock and Certain Other Events.
(a)    In  the  event  that  the  Administrator  determines  that  any  dividend  or  other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property), reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, repurchase, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event, as determined by the Administrator, affects the Common Stock such that an adjustment is determined by the Administrator to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award, then the Administrator may, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of:
(i)    the number and kind of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted or awarded (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 3 hereof on the maximum number and kind of shares which may be issued);
(ii)    the number and kind of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards;
(iii)    the grant or exercise price with respect to any Award; and
(iv)    the terms and conditions of any Awards (including, without limitation, any applicable financial or other performance “targets” specified in an Award Agreement).
(b)    In  the  event  of  any  transaction  or  event  described  in  Section  8(a)  hereof (including without limitation any Change in Control) or any unusual or nonrecurring transaction or event affecting the Company or the financial statements of the Company, or any change in any Applicable Laws or accounting principles, the Administrator, on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, either by the terms of the Award or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event and either automatically or upon the Participant’s request, is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Administrator determines that such action is appropriate in order to (i) prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company to be made 
5

available under the Plan or with respect to any Award granted or issued under the Plan, (ii) to facilitate such transaction or event or (iii) give effect to such changes in Applicable Laws or accounting principles:
(i)    To provide for the cancellation of any such Award in exchange for either an amount of cash or other property with a value equal to the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise or settlement of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights had such Award been currently exercisable, payable and fully vested, as applicable; provided that, if the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise or settlement of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, in any case, is equal to or less than zero, then such Award may be terminated without payment;
(ii)    To provide that such Award shall vest and, to the extent applicable, be exercisable as to all shares covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the provisions of such Award;
(iii)    To provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and applicable exercise or purchase price, in all cases, as determined by the Administrator;
(iv)    To make adjustments in the number and type of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding Awards which may be granted in the future;
(v)    To replace such Award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator; and/or
(vi)    To provide that the Award will terminate and cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after the applicable event.
(c)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8(b) above, if a Change in Control occurs and a Participant’s Awards are not continued, converted, assumed, or replaced with a substantially similar award by (i) the Company, or (ii) a successor entity or its parent or subsidiary (an “Assumption”), and provided that the Participant has not had a Termination of Service, then the Administrator may provide that, immediately prior to the Change in Control, such Awards shall become fully vested, exercisable and/or payable, as applicable, and all forfeiture, repurchase and other restrictions on such Awards shall lapse, in which case, such Awards shall be canceled upon the consummation of the Change in Control in exchange for the right to receive the Change in Control consideration payable to other holders of Common Stock (A) which may be on such terms and conditions as apply generally to holders of Common Stock under the Change in Control documents (including, without limitation, any escrow, earn-out or other deferred consideration provisions) or such other terms and conditions as the Administrator may provide, and (B) determined by reference to the number of shares subject to such Awards and net of any applicable exercise price; provided that to the extent that any Awards constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” that may not be paid upon the Change in Control under Section 409A without the imposition of taxes thereon under Section 409A, the timing of such payments shall be governed  by  the  applicable  Award  Agreement  (subject  to  any  deferred  consideration  provisions applicable under the Change in Control documents); and provided, further, that if the amount to which a Participant would be entitled upon the settlement or exercise of such Award at the time of the Change in Control  is  equal  to  or  less  than  zero,  then  such  Award  may  be  terminated  without  payment.  The 
6

Administrator shall determine whether an Assumption of an Award has occurred in connection with a Change in Control.
(d)    In   connection   with   the   occurrence   of   any   Equity   Restructuring,   and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8, the Administrator will equitably adjust each outstanding Award, which adjustments may include adjustments to the number and type of securities subject to each outstanding Award and/or the exercise price or grant price thereof, if applicable, the grant of new Awards to Participants, and/or the making of a cash payment to Participants, as the Administrator deems appropriate to reflect such Equity Restructuring. The adjustments provided under this Section 8(e) shall be nondiscretionary and shall be final and binding on the affected Participant and the Company; provided that whether an adjustment is equitable shall be determined by the Administrator.
(e)    In the event of any pending stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of Company assets to stockholders, or any other change affecting the shares of Common Stock or the share price of the Common Stock, including any Equity Restructuring, or if necessary to comply with Applicable Laws or the Code, or for reasons of administrative convenience, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, refuse to permit the exercise of any Award during a period of up to thirty days prior to the consummation of any such transaction; provided, however, that in the event the vested portion of an Award is not exercisable on the date the Award would otherwise expire pursuant to the terms set forth in the Award Agreement governing such Award as a result of the Administrator’s exercise of discretion pursuant to this Section 8(e), then the expiration of the Award shall be extended through the date that is thirty days following the date on which the Administrator first permits the Award to be exercised (but in no event shall the expiration of the Award be extended beyond the tenth anniversary of the date of grant of such Award.
(f)     Except  as  expressly  provided  in  the  Plan  or  pursuant  to  action  of  the Administrator under the Plan, no Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend, any increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class or any dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or any other corporation. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or pursuant to action of the Administrator under the Plan, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to an Award or the grant or exercise price  of  any  Award.  The  existence  of  the  Plan,  any  Award  Agreements  and  the  Awards    granted hereunder shall not affect or restrict in any way the right or power of the Company to make or authorize (i) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, (ii) any merger, consolidation dissolution or liquidation of the Company or sale of Company assets or (iii) any sale or issuance of securities, including without limitation, securities with   rights superior to those of the Common Stock or which are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock. The Administrator may treat Participants and Awards (or portions thereof) differently under this Section 8.
9.    General Provisions Applicable to Awards.
(a)    Transferability  of  Awards.  Except  as  the  Administrator     may     otherwise determine or provide in an Award Agreement or otherwise, in any case in accordance with Applicable Laws, Awards shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the person to whom they are granted, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and, during the life of the Participant, shall be exercisable only by the 
7

Participant.References to a Participant, to the extent relevant in the context, shall include references to authorized transferees.
(b)    Documentation.  Each  Award  shall  be  evidenced  in  an    Award    Agreement, which may be in such form (written, electronic or otherwise) as the Administrator shall determine. Each Award may contain terms and conditions in addition to those set forth in the Plan.
(c)    Discretion.   Except as otherwise provided by the Plan, each Award may be made alone or in addition or in relation to any other Award. The terms of each Award to a Participant need not be identical, and the Administrator need not treat Participants or Awards (or portions thereof) uniformly.
(d)    Termination of Status. The Administrator shall determine the effect   on   an Award of the disability, death, retirement, authorized leave of absence or any other change or purported change in a Participant’s Service Provider status and the extent to which, and the period during which, the Participant, the Participant’s legal representative, conservator, guardian or Designated Beneficiary may exercise rights under the Award, if applicable.
(e)    Withholding. Each Participant shall pay to the Company, or make provision satisfactory to the Administrator for payment of, any taxes required by law to be withheld in connection with Awards to such Participant no later than the date of the event creating the tax liability. Except as the Administrator may otherwise determine, all such payments shall be made in cash or by certified check. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by the Administrator, Participants may satisfy such tax obligations in whole or in part by delivery of shares of Common Stock, including shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation, valued at their Fair Market Value. The Company may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, deduct any such tax obligations from any payment of any kind otherwise due to a Participant.
(f)    Amendment of Award. The Administrator may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award, including but not limited to, substituting therefor another Award of the same or a different type, changing the date of exercise or settlement, and converting an Incentive Stock Option to a Non-Qualified Stock Option. The Participant’s consent to such action shall be required unless (i) the Administrator determines that the action, taking into account any related action, would not materially and adversely affect the Participant, or (ii) the change is permitted under Section 8 and 10(f) hereof.
(g)    Conditions on Delivery of Stock. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan or to remove restrictions from shares previously delivered under the Plan until (i) all conditions of the Award have been met or removed to the satisfaction of the Company, (ii) in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, all other legal matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of such shares have been satisfied, including any applicable securities laws and any applicable stock exchange or stock market rules and regulations, and (iii) the Participant has executed and delivered to the Company such representations or agreements as the Administrator deems necessary or appropriate to satisfy the requirements of any Applicable Laws. The inability of the Company to obtain authority  from  any  regulatory  body  having  jurisdiction,  which  authority  is  determined  by  the Administrator to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any securities hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.
(h)    Acceleration. The Administrator may at any time provide that any Award shall become immediately vested and/or exercisable in full or in part, free of some or all restrictions or conditions, or otherwise realizable in full or in part, as the case may be.
8

10.    Miscellaneous.
(a)    No Right To Employment or Other Status. No person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award, and the grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to continued employment or any other relationship with the Company. The Company expressly reserves the right at any time to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship with a Participant free from any liability or claim under the Plan or any Award, except as expressly provided in an applicable Award Agreement.
(b)    No  Rights  As  Stockholder;  Certificates.  Subject  to  the  provisions  of  the applicable Award Agreement, no Participant or Designated Beneficiary shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock to be distributed with respect to an Award until becoming the record holder of such shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator or required by any Applicable Laws, the Company shall not be required to deliver to any Participant certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock issued in connection with any Award and instead such shares of Common Stock may be recorded in the books of the Company (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator). The Company may place legends on stock certificates issued under the Plan deemed necessary or appropriate by the Administrator in order to comply with Applicable Laws.
(c)    Effective Date and Term of Plan.  The Plan shall become effective on the date on which it is adopted by the Board. No Awards shall be granted under the Plan after the completion of ten years from the earlier of (i) the date on which the Plan was adopted by the Board or (ii) the date the Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders, but Awards previously granted may extend beyond that date in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
(d)    Amendment of Plan. The Administrator may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided that no amendment of the Plan shall materially and adversely affect any Award outstanding at the time of such amendment without the consent of the affected Participant. Awards outstanding under the Plan at the time of any suspension or termination of the Plan shall continue to be governed in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, as in effect prior to such suspension or termination. The Board shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Laws.
(e)    Provisions  for  Foreign  Participants.  The  Administrator  may  modify  Awards granted to Participants who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United States or establish subplans or procedures under the Plan to address differences in laws, rules, regulations or customs of such foreign jurisdictions with respect to tax, securities, currency, employee benefit or other matters.
(f)    Section 409A.
(i)    General.  The  Company  intends  that  all  Awards  be  structured  in compliance with, or to satisfy an exemption from, Section 409A, such that no adverse tax consequences, interest, or penalties under Section 409A apply in connection with any Awards. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Administrator may, without a Participant’s prior consent, amend this Plan and/or Awards, adopt policies and procedures, or take any other actions (including amendments, policies, procedures and actions with retroactive effect) as are necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of Awards under the Plan, including without limitation, any such actions intended to (A) exempt this Plan and/or any Award from the application of Section 409A, and/or (B) comply with the 
9

requirements  of  Section  409A,  including  without  limitation  any  such  regulations,  guidance, compliance programs and other interpretative authority that may be issued after the date of grant of any Award. The Company makes no representations or warranties as to the tax treatment of any Award under Section 409A or otherwise. The Company shall have no obligation under this Section 10(f) or otherwise to take any action (whether or not described herein) to avoid the imposition of taxes, penalties or interest under Section 409A with respect to any Award and shall have no liability to any Participant or any other person if any Award, compensation or other benefits under the Plan are determined to constitute non-compliant, “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to the imposition of taxes, penalties and/or interest under Section 409A.
(ii)    Separation from Service. With respect to any Award that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A, any payment or settlement of such Award that is to be made upon a termination of a Participant’s Service Provider relationship shall, to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of taxes under Section 409A, be made only upon the Participant’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A), whether such “separation from service” occurs upon or subsequent to the termination of the Participant’s Service Provider relationship. For purposes of any such provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement relating to any such payments or benefits, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.”
(iii)    Payments   to   Specified   Employees.   Notwithstanding   any   contrary provision in the Plan or any Award Agreement, any payment(s) of “nonqualified deferred compensation”  that  are  otherwise  required  to  be  made  under  an  Award  to  a  “specified employee” (as defined under Section 409A and determined by the Administrator) as a result of his or her “separation from service” shall, to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of taxes under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), be delayed until the expiration of the six-month period immediately following such “separation from service” (or, if earlier, until the date of death of the specified employee) and shall instead be paid (in a manner set forth in the Award agreement) on the day that immediately follows the end of such six-month period or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter (without interest). Any payments of “nonqualified deferred compensation” under such Award that are, by their terms, payable more than six months following the Participant’s “separation from service” shall be paid at the time or times such payments are otherwise scheduled to be made.
(g)    Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, no individual acting as a director, officer, other employee or agent of the Company will be liable to any Participant, former Participant, spouse, beneficiary, or any other person for any claim, loss, liability, or expense incurred in connection with the Plan or any Award, nor will such individual be personally liable with respect to the Plan because of any contract or other instrument he or she executes in his or her capacity as an Administrator, director, officer, other employee or agent of the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each director, officer, other employee and agent of the Company to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan has been or will be granted or delegated, against any cost or expense (including attorneys’ fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the Administrator’s approval) arising out of any act or omission to act concerning this Plan unless arising out of such person’s own fraud or bad faith.
(h)    Lock-Up Period. The Company may, at the request of any representative of the underwriters (the “Managing Underwriter”) or otherwise, in connection with any registration of the offering of any securities of the Company under the Securities Act, prohibit Participants from, directly or indirectly, selling or otherwise transferring any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the 
10

Company during a period of up to one hundred eighty days following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act.
(i)    Right of First Refusal.
(i)    Before  any  shares  of  Common  Stock  held  by  a  Participant  or  any permitted  transferee  (each,  a  “Holder”)  may  be  sold,  pledged,  assigned,  hypothecated, transferred, or otherwise disposed of (each, a “Transfer”), the Company or its assignee(s) shall have a right of first refusal to purchase the shares of Common Stock proposed to be Transferred on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 10(i) (the “Right of First Refusal”). In the event that the Company’s charter, bylaws and/or a stockholders’ agreement applicable to the shares of Common Stock contain a right of first refusal with respect to the shares of Common Stock, such right of first refusal shall apply to the shares of Common Stock to the extent such provisions are more restrictive than the Right of First Refusal set forth in this Section 10(i) and the Right of First Refusal set forth in this Section 10(i) shall not in any way restrict the operation of the Company’s charter, bylaws or the operation of any applicable stockholders’ agreement.
(ii)    In the event any Holder desires to Transfer any shares of Common Stock, the Holder shall deliver to the Company a written notice (the “Notice”) stating: (A) the Holder’s bona fide intention to sell or otherwise Transfer such shares of Common Stock; (B) the name of each proposed purchaser or other transferee (“Proposed Transferee”); (C) the number of shares of Common Stock to be Transferred to each Proposed Transferee; and (D) the price for which the Holder proposes to Transfer the shares of Common Stock (the “Offered Price”), and the Holder shall offer such shares of Common Stock at the Offered Price to the Company or its assignee(s).
(iii)    Within twenty-five days after receipt of the Notice, the Company and/or its assignee(s) may elect in writing to purchase all, but not less than all, of the shares of Common Stock proposed to be Transferred to any one or more of the Proposed Transferees by delivery of a written exercise notice to the Holder (a “Company Notice”). The purchase price (“Purchase Price”) for the shares of Common Stock repurchased under this Section 10(i) shall be the Offered Price.
(iv)    Payment  of  the  Purchase  Price  shall  be  made,  at  the  option  of  the Company or its assignee(s), in cash (by check or wire transfer), by cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of the Holder to the Company (or, in the case of repurchase by an assignee, to the assignee), or by any combination thereof, within five days after delivery of the Company Notice or in the manner and at the times mutually agreed to by the Company and the Holder. Should the Offered Price specified in the Notice be payable in property other than cash, the Company or its assignee shall have the right to pay the purchase price in the form of cash equal in amount to the value of such property, as determined by the Administrator.
(v)    If all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock proposed in the Notice to be Transferred are not purchased by the Company and/or its assignee(s) as provided in this Section 10(i), then the Holder may sell or otherwise Transfer such shares of Common Stock to that Proposed Transferee at the Offered Price or at a higher price; provided that such sale or other Transfer is consummated within sixty days after the date of the Notice; and provided, further, that any such sale or other Transfer is effected in accordance with any Applicable Laws and the Proposed Transferee agrees in writing that the provisions of this Plan and the applicable Award Agreement and any other applicable agreements governing the shares of Common Stock to be Transferred shall continue to apply to the shares of Common Stock in the hands of such Proposed Transferee.

11

Proposed Transferee within such sixty-day period, a new Notice shall be given to the Company, and the Company and/or its assignees shall again be offered the Right of First Refusal, as provided  herein,  before  any  shares  of  Common  Stock  held  by  the  Holder  may  be  sold  or otherwise Transferred.
(vi)    Anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10(i) notwithstanding and to the extent permitted by the Administrator, the Transfer of any or all of the shares of Common Stock during a Participant’s lifetime or upon a Participant’s death by will or intestacy to the Participant’s Immediate Family or a trust for the benefit of the Participant’s Immediate Family shall be exempt from the Right of First Refusal. As used herein, “Immediate Family” shall mean spouse, lineal descendant or antecedent, father, mother, brother or sister or stepchild (whether or not adopted). In such case, the transferee or other recipient shall receive and hold the shares of Common Stock so Transferred subject to the provisions of this Plan (including the Right of  First  Refusal),  the  applicable  Award  Agreement  and  any  other  applicable  agreements governing the shares of Common Stock to be Transferred, and there shall be no further Transfer of such shares of Common Stock except in accordance with the terms of this Section 10(i) (or otherwise as expressly provided under the Plan).
(vii)    The Right of First Refusal shall terminate as to all shares of Common Stock if the Company becomes a Publicly Listed Company upon such occurrence. 
(j)    Company Call Right.
(i)    The Company shall have the right to purchase from the Participant, or the Participant’s beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be, any or all of the Common Stock owned by the Participant as of the date of the Company’s exercise of its purchase right under this Section 10(j) (the “Call Right”) at a price equal to the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date on which the closing of the Call Right occurs, but there is no intention to exercise the Call Right within six months following the date of issuance of any Shares under the Plan.
(ii)    The Company may exercise the Company Call Right by delivering personally or by registered mail to the Participant (or his beneficiary or legal representative, as the case may be) a notice in writing indicating the Company’s intention to exercise the Company Call Right and setting forth a date for closing not later than thirty days from the mailing of such notice. The closing shall take place at the Company’s offices. At the closing, the holder of the certificates  for  the  Common  Stock  being  purchased  shall  deliver  the  stock  certificate  or certificates evidencing the Common Stock, and the Company shall deliver the purchase price therefor.
(iii)    At its option, the Company may elect to make payment for the Shares to a bank selected by the Company. The Company shall avail itself of this option by a notice in writing to Participant stating the name and address of the bank, date of closing, and waiving the closing at the Company’s office. Payment of the purchase price shall be made, at the option of the Company or its assignee(s), in cash (by check or wire transfer), by cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of the Participant to the Company (or, in the case of repurchase by an assignee, to the assignee), or by any combination thereof, at the closing.
(iv)    If  the  Company  does  not  elect  to  exercise  the  Company  Call  Right conferred above by giving the requisite notice within ninety days following the date on which a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, the Company Call Right shall terminate. 
12

(v)    The Company Call Right shall terminate as to all Common Stock if the Company becomes a Publicly Listed Company or upon a Change in Control.
(k)    Data Privacy. As a condition of receipt of any Award, each Participant explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal data as described in this paragraph by and among, as applicable, the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates may hold certain personal information about a Participant, including but not limited to, the Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security or insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title(s), any shares of stock held in the Company or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates,  details  of  all  Awards,  in  each  case,  for  the  purpose  of  implementing,  managing  and administering the Plan and Awards (the “Data”). The Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates may transfer the Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of a Participant’s participation in the Plan, and the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates may each further transfer the Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. These recipients may be located in the Participant’s country, or elsewhere, and the Participant’s country may have different data privacy laws and  protections  than  the  recipients’  country.  Through  acceptance  of  an  Award,  each  Participant authorizes such recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom the Company or the Participant may elect to deposit any shares of Common Stock. The Data related to a Participant will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer, and manage the Participant’s  participation  in  the  Plan.  A  Participant  may,  at  any  time,  view  the  Data  held  by  the Company  with  respect  to  such  Participant,  request  additional  information  about  the  storage  and processing of the Data with respect to such Participant, recommend any necessary corrections to the Data with respect to the Participant or refuse or withdraw the consents herein in writing, in any case without cost,  by  contacting  his  or  her  local  human  resources  representative.  The  Company  may  cancel Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan and, in the Administrator’s discretion, the Participant may forfeit any outstanding Awards if the Participant refuses or withdraws his or her consents as described herein. For more information on the consequences of refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Participants may contact their local human resources representative.
(l)    Severability. In the event any portion of the Plan or any action taken pursuant thereto shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provisions had not been included, and the illegal or invalid action shall be null and void.
(m)    Governing Documents. In the event of any contradiction between the Plan and any Award Agreement or any other written agreement between a Participant and the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company that has been approved by the Administrator, the terms of the Plan shall govern, unless it is expressly specified in such Award Agreement or other written document that a specific provision of the Plan shall not apply.
(n)    Governing Law. The provisions of the Plan and all Awards made hereunder shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, disregarding choice- of-law principles of the law of any state that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such state.

Such terms and conditions may be additional to those contained in the Plan and may, as determined by the Administrator, be contained in the applicable Award Agreement or in an exercise notice, stockholders’ agreement or in such other agreement as the Administrator shall determine, in each case in a form determined by the Administrator. The issuance of such shares of Common Stock shall be conditioned on the Participant’s consent to such terms and conditions and the Participant’s entering into such agreement or agreements.

Participant  acknowledges  that  the  Plan  is intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any and all regulations and rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and state securities laws and regulations.

Participant acknowledges that an Incentive Stock Option exercised more than three months after Participant’s termination of status as an Employee, other than by reason of death or Disability, will be taxed as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

(a)    Legends. Participant understands and agrees that the Company shall cause any certificates, including electronic certificates, issued evidencing the Shares to have the legends set forth below or legends substantially equivalent thereto, together with any other legends that may be required by Applicable Laws:
THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (“ACT”), NOR HAVE THEY BEEN REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. NO TRANSFER   OF   SUCH   SECURITIES   WILL   BE   PERMITTED UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT IS IN EFFECT AS TO SUCH TRANSFER, THE TRANSFER IS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT, OR IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH MAY BE COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY)  REGISTRATION  UNDER  THE  ACT  IS UNNECESSARY IN ORDER FOR SUCH TRANSFER TO COMPLY 
4

WITH THE ACT AND WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY. SUCH TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS ARE BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND REPURCHASE RIGHT SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER, OR SUCH HOLDER’S PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY. ANY TRANSFER OR ATTEMPTED TRANSFER OF ANY SHARES SUBJECT TO SUCH REPURCHASE OPTION IS VOID WITHOUT THE PRIOR EXPRESS WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE COMPANY.
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AS PROVIDED IN THE BYLAWS OF THE COMPANY.
(b)    Stop Transfer Orders. Participant agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the  restrictions  referred  to  in  the  Plan,  this  Agreement  and  the  Bylaws,  the  Company  may  issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.
(c)    Impermissible Transfers Void. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Bylaws or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred.
8.    Taxes.  Participant  understands  that  Participant  may  suffer  adverse  tax  and  national insurance consequences as a result of Participant’s purchase or disposition of the Shares. Participant represents that Participant has consulted with any tax consultants Participant deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition of the Shares and that Participant is not relying on the Company for any tax advice. Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Participant understands that Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for Participant’s tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
9.    Miscellaneous.
(a)    No Right To Employment or Other Status. No person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award, and the grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to continued employment or any other relationship with the Company. The Company expressly reserves the right at any time to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship with a Participant free from any liability or claim under the Plan or this Agreement. 
5

(b)    Notices.  Any  notice  to  be  given  under  the  terms  of  this  Agreement  to  the Company shall be addressed to the Company in care of the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s  principal  office  or  to  the  then-current  email  address  for  the  Secretary  of  the Company, and any notice to be given to Participant shall be addressed to Participant at the most- recent physical or email address for Participant listed in the Company’s personnel records. By a notice given pursuant to this Section 9(b), either party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be given to that party.

Any notice shall be deemed duly given when sent via email or when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited (with postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service.
(c)    Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement and the Exercise Notice to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth, this Agreement shall be binding upon Participant and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.
(d)    Severability. In the event any portion of the Plan or this Agreement or any action taken pursuant thereto shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan and this Agreement, and the Plan and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provisions had not been included, and the illegal or invalid action shall be null and void.
(e)    Entire Agreement; Governing Documents.  The Plan (including the Sub-Plan), the Grant Notice and this Agreement (including all Exhibits thereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof. In the event of any contradiction between the Plan and any Award Agreement or any other written agreement between a Participant and the Company that has been approved by the Administrator, the terms of the Plan shall govern, unless it is expressly specified in such Award Agreement or other written document that a specific provision of the Plan shall not apply.

1.    Representations of Participant. Participant acknowledges that Participant has received, read and understood the Plan and the Agreement. Participant agrees to abide by and be bound by their terms and conditions. Participant further acknowledges that it is a condition to the issuance of the Shares to Participant upon exercise of the Option listed above that Participant agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of, and become a party to, any stockholders’ agreement of the Company. Participant hereby agrees to be so bound and to execute any additional documents as may be deemed necessary or advisable by the Company in order to effectuate the foregoing agreement.
2.    Tax Consultation. Participant understands that Participant may suffer adverse tax and national insurance consequences as a result of Participant’s purchase or disposition of the Shares. Participant represents that Participant has consulted with any tax consultants Participant deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition of the Shares and that Participant is not relying on the Company for any tax advice. Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Participant understands that Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for Participant’s tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
3.    Participant Representations. In the event the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on the Exercise Date, the Participant shall, if required by the Company, concurrently with the exercise of all or any portion of the Option, deliver to the Company any other representations necessary or appropriate, in the judgment of the Administrator, to comply with Applicable Law. Participant hereby makes the following certifications and representations with respect to the Shares listed above:
1

(a)    Participant is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares. Participant is acquiring these Shares for investment for Participant’s own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Participant hereby acknowledges that the Participant has had ample opportunity to ask questions of the Company’s representatives concerning this investment. Participant has had a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company and/or certain of its officers and/or directors of a nature and duration sufficient to make the Participant aware of the character, business acumen and general business and financial circumstances of the Company and/or such officers and directors. By reason of the Participant’s business or financial experience, the Participant is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment, and the Participant has the ability to protect his/her own interests in this transaction.
(b)    Participant acknowledges and understands that the Shares constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Participant’s investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, the Participant understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if the Participant’s representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Shares for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Shares, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future. Participant understands that the Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Participant further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Shares. Participant understands that the electronic certificate evidencing the Shares will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Shares unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and any other legend required under Applicable Laws.
(c)    Participant is familiar with the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities  Act,  which,  in  substance,  permit  limited  public  resale  of  “restricted  securities”  acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Shares may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which may require (i) the availability of current public information about the Company; (ii) the resale to occur more than a specified period after the purchase and full payment (within the meaning of Rule 144) for the Shares; and (iii) in the case of the sale of Shares by an affiliate, the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in Rule 144.
(d)    The Participant hereby acknowledges that at no time (a) has the Participant or any of its officers, directors, employees or other agents, been presented with or solicited by any publicly issued or circulated newspaper, mail, radio, television or other form of general advertising or solicitation in connection with the offer, sale or purchase of the Shares, whether or not such advertising or solicitation was received directly from the Company or indirectly from a broker, finder or other person or entity, nor (b) has the Participant or any of its officers, directors, employees or other agents attended any public meeting or seminar concerning an investment in the Shares.
(e)    The Participant is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act (i.e., (a) a natural person whose individual net worth, or joint net worth with that person’s spouse, at the time of his or her purchase exceeds $1,000,000 (excluding the value of such person’s primary residence), (b) a natural person who had an individual income in excess of 
2

$200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with that person’s spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of those two years and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year, (c) a corporation, limited liability company or partnership having total assets in excess of $5,000,000 that was not formed for the purpose of investing in the Company pursuant to the Exercise Notice or (d) otherwise meets the requirements for an “accredited investor” under Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act) as attached hereto as Annex A.
(f)    Participant further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. Participant understands that no assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption will be available in such event.
(g)    Participant acknowledges that the Shares remain subject to the Company’s right of first refusal and certain transfer restrictions all in accordance with the Agreement and the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as it may be amended from time to time.
4.    Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 9(b) of the Agreement.
5.    Entire Agreement. The Plan (including the Sub-Plan) and Agreement are incorporated herein by reference. This Notice, the Plan and the Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof.
Exercise  of  the  Option  through  an  online  or  electronic  system  established  and  maintained  by  the Company  or  another  third  party  designated  by  the  Company  shall  be  deemed  to  be  Participant’s agreement to and acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Exercise Notice.

(e)    Fractional  Shares.  The  Option  may  only  be  exercised  for  whole  shares  of Common Stock. Any fractional Shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share.

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AS PROVIDED IN THE BYLAWS OF THE COMPANY.
(b)    Stop Transfer Orders. Participant agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the  restrictions  referred  to  in  the  Plan,  this  Agreement  and  the  Bylaws,  the  Company  may  issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.
(c)    Impermissible Transfers Void. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Bylaws or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred.
8.    Taxes. Participant understands that Participant may suffer adverse tax as a result of Participant’s purchase or disposition of the Shares.

9.    Miscellaneous.
(a)    No Right To Employment or Other Status. No person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award, and the grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to continued employment or any other relationship with the Company.

(b)    Notices.  Any  notice  to  be  given  under  the  terms  of  this  Agreement  to  the Company shall be addressed to the Company in care of the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal office or to the then-current email address for the Secretary of the Company, and any notice to be given to Participant shall be addressed to Participant at the most-recent physical or email address for Participant listed in the Company’s personnel records.

Any notice shall be deemed duly given when sent via email or when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited (with postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service.
(c)    Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement and the Exercise Notice to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set 
4

forth, this Agreement shall be binding upon Participant and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

(e)    Entire Agreement; Governing Documents. The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement (including all Exhibits thereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof. In the event of any contradiction between the Plan and any Award Agreement or any other written agreement between a Participant and the Company that has been approved by the Administrator,  the  terms  of  the  Plan  shall  govern,  unless  it  is  expressly  specified  in  such  Award Agreement or other written document that a specific provision of the Plan shall not apply.

Participant represents that Participant has consulted with any tax consultants Participant deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition of the Shares and that Participant is not relying on the Company for any tax advice. Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Participant understands that Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for Participant’s tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
3.    Participant Representations. Participant hereby makes the following certifications and representations with respect to the Shares listed above:
(a)    Participant is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares. Participant is acquiring these Shares for investment for Participant’s own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.
1

(b)    Participant acknowledges and understands that the Shares constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Participant’s investment intent as expressed herein. Participant understands that the Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Participant further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under  no  obligation  to  register  the  Shares.  Participant  understands  that  the  electronic  certificate evidencing the Shares will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Shares unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and any other legend required under Applicable Laws.
(c)    Participant is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of the grant of the Option to Participant, the exercise will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In the event the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, ninety days thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off agreement may require) the securities exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by Rule 144.
(d)    In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of grant of the Option, then the securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144.
(e)    Participant further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that  persons  proposing  to  sell  private  placement  securities  other  than  in  a  registered  offering  and otherwise than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. Participant understands that no assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption will be available in such event.
(f)    Participant acknowledges that the Shares remain subject to the Company’s right of first refusal and certain transfer restrictions all in accordance with the Agreement and the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as it may be amended from time to time.
4.    Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 9(b) of the Agreement.
5.    Entire Agreement. The Plan and Agreement are incorporated herein by reference. This Notice, the Plan and the Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof.
2

Exercise  of  the  Option  through  an  online  or  electronic  system  established  and  maintained  by  the Company  or  another  third  party  designated  by  the  Company  shall  be  deemed  to  be  Participant’s agreement to and acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Exercise Notice.

Upon Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason, the Company shall have the right and option to repurchase all of the Restricted Shares from Participant, or Participant’s transferee or legal representative, as the case may be, for a purchase price equal to the price per Share paid for such Restricted Shares (the “Company Repurchase Right”).
(b)    Exercise of Company Repurchase Right. The Company may exercise the Company Repurchase Right by delivering to Participant (or his or her transferee or legal representative, as the case may be), within ninety days of the date of Participant’s Termination of Service, a written notice indicating the Company’s intention to exercise the Company Repurchase Right and setting forth a date for closing not later than thirty days from the issuance of such notice. The closing shall take place at the Company’s office. At the closing, the Company shall cause the electronic stock certificate(s) evidencing the Restricted Shares to be cancelled and the Company shall deliver the purchase price therefore. At its option, the Company may elect to make payment for the Restricted Shares to a bank selected by the Company. The Company shall avail itself of this option by a written notice to Participant stating the name and address of the bank, date of closing, and waiving the closing at the Company’s office. If the Company does not elect to exercise the Company Repurchase Right by giving the requisite notice within ninety days following the date of Participant’s Termination of Service, the Company Repurchase Right shall terminate.
(c)    Release of Restricted Shares. The Restricted Shares shall be released from the Company Repurchase Right upon vesting of the Option with respect to such Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, all Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised shall at all times be assumed to be Restricted Shares to the fullest extent possible under the terms of this Agreement, unless otherwise provided by the Administrator. Fractional Shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. 
6.    Escrow.

by the Company pursuant to the Company Repurchase Right and shall, upon execution of the applicable Exercise Notice, consent to the delivery and deposit with the Secretary of the Company, or such other person designated by the Administrator from time to time, the electronic share certificate(s) representing the Restricted Shares, together with the Stock Assignment. The Restricted Shares and Stock Assignment shall be held by the Secretary, or such other person designated by the Administrator from time to time, in escrow, until the Company exercises the Company Repurchase Right, until such Restricted Shares are released  from  the  Company  Repurchase  Right  as  set  forth  in  Section  5  or  until  such  time  as  this Agreement no longer is in effect. Upon release of the Restricted Shares from the Company’s Repurchase Right, the escrow agent shall be discharged of all further obligations hereunder. The Company, or its designee, shall not be liable for any act it may do or omit to do with respect to holding the Restricted Shares in escrow and while acting in good faith and in the exercise of its judgment.
7.    Transferability.
(a)    Transferability of Option and Restricted Shares. Neither the Option nor the Restricted Shares shall be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by Participant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and, during the life of the Participant, the Option shall be exercisable only by the Participant.
(b)    Transferees Subject to Restrictions. Any transferee of the Shares shall hold such Shares subject to all of the provisions hereof and the Plan and the Exercise Notice and Additional Documents executed by Purchaser with respect to such Shares.
8.    Bylaws Restrictions. Participant and any transferee of the Shares agree that the Shares and any interest therein are subject to the right of first refusal and any and all restrictions on transfer set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Bylaws”).
9.    Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided herein, upon exercise of the Option and the issuance of the Shares to Participant (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), Participant shall have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Restricted Shares, including the right to receive any cash or stock dividends or other distributions paid to or made with respect to the Restricted Shares, subject to the restrictions described in the following sentence, which restrictions shall lapse when the Restricted Shares are released from the Company Repurchase Right as set forth in Section 5. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if any dividends or distributions are paid in shares, or consist of a dividend or distribution to holders of Common Stock of property other than an ordinary cash dividend, the shares or other property will be subject to same restrictions on transferability as the Restricted Shares with respect to which they were paid and shall automatically be forfeited to the Company for no consideration in the event the Company exercises the Company Repurchase Right for the Restricted Shares with respect to which they were paid. In no event shall a dividend or distribution be paid with respect to Restricted Shares later than the end of the calendar year in which the dividends are paid to holders of Common Stock or, if later, the 15th day of the third month following the later of (a) the date the dividends are paid to holders of Common Stock and (b) the date the Restricted Shares with respect to which the dividends are paid vest. Participant shall enjoy rights as a stockholder until such time as Participant disposes of the Shares or the Company and/or its assignee(s) exercises the Right of First Refusal hereunder. Upon such exercise, Participant shall have no further rights as a holder of the Shares so purchased except the right to receive payment for the Shares so purchased in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and the Company shall forthwith cause the certificate(s), if any issued, evidencing the Shares so purchased to be cancelled.

10.    Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders.
(a)    Legends.  Participant  understands  and  agrees  that  the  Company  shall  cause  any certificates, including electronic certificates, issued evidencing the Shares to have the legends set forth below or legends substantially equivalent thereto, together with any other legends that may be required by Applicable Laws:
THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (“ACT”), NOR HAVE THEY BEEN REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. NO TRANSFER   OF   SUCH   SECURITIES   WILL   BE   PERMITTED UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT IS IN EFFECT AS TO SUCH TRANSFER, THE TRANSFER IS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT, OR IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH MAY BE COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY)  REGISTRATION  UNDER  THE  ACT  IS UNNECESSARY IN ORDER FOR SUCH TRANSFER TO COMPLY WITH THE ACT AND WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE SUBJECT TO REPURCHASE PURSUANT TO, AND MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY. SUCH REPURCHASE AND/OR TRANSFER  RESTRICTIONS  ARE  BINDING  ON  TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AS PROVIDED IN THE BYLAWS OF THE COMPANY.
(b)    Stop Transfer Orders. Participant agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to in the Plan, this Agreement and the Bylaws, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.
(c)    Impermissible Transfers Void. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Bylaws or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred. Any transfer or attempted transfer of the Option or any of the Restricted Shares not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be void 
11.    Taxes.
(a)    Tax Consequences of Award. Participant understands that Participant may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of Participant’s purchase or disposition of the Shares. Participant represents that Participant has consulted with any tax consultants Participant deems advisable in connection with the 
6

purchase or disposition of the Shares and that Participant is not relying on the Company for any tax advice. Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Participant understands that Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for Participant’s tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(b)    Section 83(b) Election for Restricted Shares Purchased Pursuant to a Non-Qualified Stock Option. Participant acknowledges that, with respect to the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option for Restricted Shares, unless an election is filed by Participant with the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, the proper state taxing authorities, within thirty days of the purchase of the Shares, electing pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code (and similar state tax provisions if applicable) to be taxed currently on any difference between the purchase price of the Shares and their Fair Market Value on the date of purchase, there will be a recognition of taxable income to the Purchaser, measured by the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares, at the time the Company Repurchase Right lapses over the purchase price for the Shares. Participant represents that Participant has consulted any tax consultant(s) Participant deems advisable in connection with the purchase of the Shares or the filing of the election under Section 83(b) of the Code and similar tax provisions.
(c)    Section 83(b) Election for Restricted Shares Purchased Pursuant to a Non-Qualified Stock Option. Participant acknowledges that, with respect to the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option for Restricted Shares, unless an election is filed by Participant with the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, the proper state taxing authorities, within thirty days of the purchase of the Shares, electing pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code (and similar state tax provisions if applicable) to be taxed currently on any difference between the purchase price of the Shares and their Fair Market Value on the date of purchase, there will be a recognition of taxable income to the Purchaser, measured by the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares, at the time the Company Repurchase Right lapses over the purchase price for the Shares. Participant represents that Participant has consulted any tax consultant(s) Participant deems advisable in connection with the purchase of the Shares or the filing of the election under Section 83(b) of the Code and similar tax provisions.
PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS PARTICIPANT’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY’S TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(B) OF THE CODE, EVEN IF PARTICIPANT REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVE TO MAKE THIS FILING ON PARTICIPANT’S BEHALF.
12.    Miscellaneous.
(a)    No Right To Employment or Other Status. No person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award, and the grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to continued employment or any other relationship with the Company. The Company expressly reserves the right at any time to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship with a Participant free from any liability or claim under the Plan or this Agreement.
(b)    Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company shall be addressed to the Company in care of the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal office or to the then-current email address for the Secretary of the Company, and any notice to be given to Participant shall be addressed to Participant at the most-recent physical or email address for Participant listed in the Company’s personnel records. By a notice given pursuant to this Section 12(b), either party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice which is required to be given to Participant shall, if Participant is then deceased, be given to the person entitled to exercise his or her Option by written notice under this Section 12(b). Any notice shall be deemed duly 
7

given when sent via email or when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited (with postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service.
(c)    Successors  and  Assigns.  The  Company  may  assign  any  of  its  rights  under    this Agreement and the Exercise Notice to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth, this Agreement shall be binding upon Participant and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.
(d)    Severability. I the event any portion of the Plan or this Agreement or any action taken pursuant thereto shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan and this Agreement, and the Plan and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provisions had not been included, and the illegal or invalid action shall be null and void.
(e)    Entire  Agreement;  Governing  Documents.  The  Plan,  the  Grant  Notice  and  this Agreement (including all Exhibits thereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof. In the event of any contradiction between the Plan and any Award Agreement or any other written agreement between a Participant and the Company that has been approved by the Administrator,  the  terms  of  the  Plan  shall  govern,  unless  it  is  expressly  specified  in  such  Award Agreement or other written document that a specific provision of the Plan shall not apply.
(f)    Governing Law. The provisions of the Plan and all Awards made thereunder, including the Option, shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, disregarding choice-of-law principles of the law of any state that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such state.
(g)    Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the Sections in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and, in the event of any conflict, the text of this Agreement, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.

1.    Representations of Participant. Participant acknowledges that Participant has received, read and understood the Plan and the Agreement. Participant agrees to abide by and be bound by their terms and conditions. Participant further acknowledges that it is a condition to the issuance of the Shares to Participant upon exercise of the Option listed above that Participant agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of, and become a party to, any stockholders’ agreement of the Company. Participant hereby agrees to be so bound and to execute any additional documents as may be deemed necessary or advisable by the Company in order to effectuate the foregoing agreement.
2.    Tax Consultation. Participant understands that Participant may suffer adverse tax and national insurance consequences as a result of Participant’s purchase or disposition of the Shares. Participant represents that Participant has consulted with any tax consultants Participant deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition of the Shares and that Participant is not relying on the Company for any tax advice. Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Participant understands that Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for Participant’s tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
3.    Participant Representations. Participant hereby makes the following certifications and representations with respect to the Shares listed above:
(a)    Participant is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares. Participant is acquiring these Shares for investment for Participant’s own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.
9

(b)    Participant acknowledges and understands that the Shares constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Participant’s investment intent as expressed herein. Participant understands that the Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Participant further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under  no  obligation  to  register  the  Shares.  Participant  understands  that  the  electronic  certificate evidencing the Shares will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Shares unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and any other legend required under Applicable Laws.
(c)    Participant is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of the grant of the Option to Participant, the exercise will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In the event the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, ninety days thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off agreement may require) the securities exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by Rule 144.
(d)    In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of grant of the Option, then the securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144.
(e)    Participant further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that  persons  proposing  to  sell  private  placement  securities  other  than  in  a  registered  offering  and otherwise than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. Participant understands that no assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption will be available in such event.
(f)    Participant acknowledges that the Shares remain subject to the Company’s right of first refusal and certain transfer restrictions all in accordance with the Agreement and the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as it may be amended from time to time.
4.    Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 9(b) of the Agreement.
5.    Entire Agreement. The Plan and Agreement are incorporated herein by reference. This Notice, the Plan and the Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Exercise  of  the  Option  through  an  online  or  electronic  system  established  and  maintained  by  the Company  or  another  third  party  designated  by  the  Company  shall  be  deemed  to  be  Participant’s agreement to and acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Exercise Notice.

NOTICE OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD
AND RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
ZipRecruiter, Inc. (the “Company”), pursuant to its Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), pursuant to this Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award (this “Notice of Grant”) grants to Participant an award of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) representing shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Shares”) subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the attached Restricted Stock Unit Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Agreement”) under the Plan, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Stock Option Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) and the Agreement.
						
	Participant:	As described on Carta
		
	Grant Date:	As described on Carta
		
	Vesting Commencement Date:	As described on Carta
		
	Total Number of RSUs:	As described on Carta
		
	Expiration Date:	As described on Carta

Vesting:
(a)    Two-Tiered  Vesting:  Vesting  of  RSUs  is  conditioned  on  satisfaction  of  two vesting requirements before the Expiration Date or earlier termination of RSUs pursuant to the Plan or Agreement: a time- and service-based requirement (the “Time and Service Requirement”) and a liquidity-event requirement (the “Liquidity Event Requirement”), each as described below.
(1)    Time and Service Requirement: For so long as Participant continues to be a Service Provider through each applicable date, the Time and Service Requirement will be satisfied as to (i) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Total Number  of  RSUs  (as  set  forth  above)  subject  to  this  award  on  the  first anniversary  of  the  Vesting  Commencement  Date,  provided  that  the  Initial Vesting Event has not occurred before such date, or 1/16 of the Total Number of RSUs for each Quarterly Vesting Date (as defined below) that occurred between the Vesting Commencement Date and Initial Vesting Event and (ii) an additional 1/16 of the Total Number of RSUs thereafter on each subsequent March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 (each, a “Quarterly Vesting Date”).
(2)    Liquidity Event Requirement: The Liquidity Event Requirement will be satisfied on the earliest to occur of: (i) the first trading day following expiration of  the  “lockup”  period  applicable  to  the  Company’s  initial  public  offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the offer and sale by the Company of its equity securities (such initial public offering, the “IPO”), (ii) March 15 of the calendar year following the year in which the IPO was declared effective and (iii) a Change in Control (the earliest of these, the “Initial Vesting Event”). 
- 1 -

(b)    RSUs Vested at Initial Vesting Event. If at the time of the Initial Vesting Event Participant is not a Service Provider and did not meet the Time and Service Requirement with respect to any portion of the RSUs, then no portion of the RSUs shall vest. If at the time of the Initial Vesting Event, Participant is a Service Provider or has ceased to be a Service Provider but did meet the Time and Service Requirement with respect to any portion of the RSUs, then the RSUs shall vest as to the number of RSUs, if any, that have satisfied the Time and Service Requirement as of the Initial Vesting Event in accordance with clause (a)(1) above.
(c)    RSUs Vested after Initial Vesting Event. If Participant is a Service Provider at the time of the Initial Vesting Event, then with respect to RSUs that have not vested as of such Initial Vesting Event under the preceding clause (b) above, vesting shall continue after the Initial Vesting Event in accordance with the Time and Service Requirement set forth  in  clause  (a)(1)  above  (each  subsequent  vesting  date,  a  “Subsequent  Vesting Event”).
Acceleration:
(a)    [If the Company undergoes a Change in Control while the Participant is a Service Provider, then conditioned upon Participant’s execution of a general release of claims in favor of the Company in a form provided by the Company (such release, the “Change-in- Control  Release”)  and  satisfaction,  no  later  than  the  Change-in-Control  Release’s effective date, of all conditions to make the Change-in-Control Release effective and irrevocable upon (x) the closing of such  Change in  Control,  an additional [ ]% of the then-unvested RSUs (besides any RSUs that have satisfied the Time and Service Requirement prior to the closing of the Change in Control) shall immediately accelerate in their vesting and be deemed to have satisfied the Time and Service Requirement immediately prior to the closing of the Change in Control.
(b)]    If Participant is subject to a Qualifying Termination (as defined below) within [  ] months preceding the closing of a Change in Control or [within [_] months]  following the closing of such Change in Control, then conditioned upon Participant’s execution of a general release of claims in favor of the Company in a form provided by the Company (such release, the “Termination Release”) and satisfaction, no later than the Termination Release’s effective date, of all conditions to make the Termination Release effective (x) within thirty (30) days following Participant’s Qualifying Termination (as defined below) and, (y) in the case of a Qualifying Termination (as defined below) before the closing of such Change in Control, before the closing of such Change in Control, an additional [_]% of the then-unvested RSUs (besides any RSUs  that have satisfied the Time and Service Requirement  prior  to  Participant’s  Qualifying  Termination  (as  defined  below)  [and besides any RSUs that may accelerate pursuant to the preceding clause (a)]) shall immediately accelerate in their vesting and be deemed to have satisfied the Time and Service Requirement on the later of (x) the first Quarterly Vesting Date on or after the thirty-first (31st) day following Participant’s Qualifying Termination (as defined below) and (y) the closing of the Change in Control.
- 2 -

(b)    Participant’s “Qualifying Termination” means [either of] the following:
(i)    Participant’s  Termination  of  Service  by  the  Company  other  than  for Cause (as defined below). “Cause” means (i) Participant’s willful or continued failure to substantially perform Participant’s duties for the Company, or to carry out  the  business  plan,  as  determined  by  the  Board;  provided  that  failure  to achieve quantified goals or objectives despite good faith performance of duties shall not be deemed a “Cause” event under this subsection (i); (ii) Participant’s conviction of a felony, or guilty plea to, or entry of, a nolo contendere plea to a felony charge; (iii) the willful or grossly negligent engaging by Participant in conduct that is materially injurious to the Company, financially or otherwise; or (iv) Participant’s material breach of any term of the Company’s code of ethics, code of conduct or policies and procedures, as in effect from time to time; provided that with respect to (i) or (iv) above, such termination for Cause shall only be effective after notice to Participant and a period of not less than seven (7) calendar days during which time Participant shall have an opportunity to demonstrate that Participant has cured the conduct that constitutes Cause; provided further, that the foregoing opportunity to cure shall not apply if the Company  reasonably  determines  that  Participant’s  conduct  is  not  capable  of being cured.
[(ii) Participant’s Termination of Service by the Participant with Good Reason (as defined below). “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following events without Participant’s consent: (i) a material reduction by the Company of Participant’s then-current base salary, unless such reduction is part of a reduction program equally applicable to other Participants of the Company; (ii) a material reduction  in  Participant’s  authority,  duties  or  responsibilities;  or  (iii)  the Company relocating the facility that is Participant’s principal place of business with the Company to a location that requires an increase in Participant’s one-way driving distance by more than 350 miles; provided however, that any resignation by Participant due to any of the foregoing conditions shall only be deemed for Good Reason if: (A) Participant gives the Company written notice of the intent to terminate for Good Reason within 90 days following the first occurrence of the condition(s) that Participant believes constitutes Good Reason, which notice shall describe such condition(s); (B) the Company fails to remedy, if remediable, such condition(s) within 30 days following receipt of the written notice (the “Cure Period”)  of  such  condition(s)  from  Participant;  and  (C)  Participant  actually resigns his or her employment within the first 15 days after expiration of the Cure Period.] 
Settlement:
(a)    RSUs that vest as of the Initial Vesting Event shall be settled immediately upon the Initial Vesting Event. Within 30 days following the occurrence of any Subsequent Vesting Event, RSUs that vest as of the Subsequent Vesting Event shall be settled. Settlement means the delivery of the Shares vested under an RSU. Settlement of RSUs on 
- 3 -

the Initial Vesting Event or any Subsequent Vesting Event shall be in Shares. Settlement of vested RSUs shall occur regardless of whether Participant has undergone a Service Provider at the time of settlement. No fractional RSUs or rights for fractional Shares shall be created pursuant to this Notice of Grant.
(b)    Participant understands that Participant’s employment or consulting relationship with the Company is for an unspecified duration, can be terminated at any time (i.e., is “at-will”) and that nothing in this Notice of Grant, the Agreement or the Plan changes the at-will nature of that relationship. Participant acknowledges that the vesting of the RSUs pursuant to this Notice of Grant is conditioned on the occurrence of an Initial Vesting Event or a Subsequent Vesting Event. Participant also understands that this Notice of Grant is subject to the terms and conditions of both the Agreement and the Plan, both of which are incorporated herein by reference. Participant has read both the Agreement and the Plan.
(c)    By Participant’s acceptance hereof (whether written, electronic or otherwise), Participant agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that in lieu of receiving documents in paper format, Participant accepts the electronic delivery of any documents the Company, or any third party involved in administering the Plan which the Company may designate, may deliver in connection with this grant (including the Plan, the Notice of Grant, the Agreement, any disclosures provided pursuant to Rule 701, account statements or other communications or information) whether via the Company’s intranet or the internet site of another such third party or via email, or such other means of electronic delivery specified by the Company.
Termination:
(a)    The RSUs shall terminate on the Expiration Date or earlier, as provided in this paragraph. If Participant undergoes a Termination of Service for any reason, all RSUs for which vesting is no longer possible under the terms of this Notice of Grant and the Agreement shall be forfeited to the Company immediately, and all rights of Participant to such RSUs shall immediately terminate. In case of any dispute as to whether such Termination of Service has occurred, the Administrator shall have sole discretion to determine whether such Termination of Service has occurred and the effective date of such Termination of Service. For clarity: All RSUs for which vesting is still possible[, including in connection with the acceleration provisions set forth above,] will remain outstanding for the minimum amount of time necessary to determine whether such RSUs will vest [(for example, in the case of unvested RSUs upon Participant’s Qualifying Termination, such RSUs will remain outstanding for up to [three] months following such Qualifying Termination to permit the acceleration described above in case the closing of the Change in Control occurs within that [three]-month period, and if the closing of the Change in Control has not occurred by the end of that [three]-month period, then such RSUs will immediately terminate)].
(b)    By Participant’s and the Company’s acceptance hereof (in each case, whether written, electronic or otherwise), Participant and the Company agree that this RSU is granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan, this Notice of Grant and the Agreement.

EXHIBIT A
TO RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD NOTICE 
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
Participant has been granted Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) subject to the terms, restrictions and conditions of the Company’s Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award (“Notice of Grant”) and this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (this “RSU Agreement”). Unless otherwise defined herein or in the Notice of Grant, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this RSU Agreement.
1.    No Stockholder Rights. Unless and until such time as Shares are issued in settlement of vested RSUs, Participant shall have no ownership of the Shares allocated to the RSUs and shall have no right to dividends or to vote such Shares.
2.    Dividend  Equivalents.  Dividend  equivalents,  if  any,  shall  not  be  credited  to  Participant  in respect of Participant’s RSUs.
3.    No Transfer. The RSUs and any interest therein may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution. The terms of the Plan, the Notice of Grant and this RSU Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of Participant. Further, until the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or after the Administrator determines that it is, will, or may no longer be relying upon the exemption from registration of RSUs under the Exchange Act as set forth in Rule 12h-1(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (the “Reliance End Date”), Participant shall not transfer these RSUs in any manner other than (i) to persons who are “family members” (as defined in Rule 701(c)(3) of the Securities Act) through gifts or domestic relations orders or (ii) to an executor or guardian of Participant upon the death or disability of Participant. Until the Reliance End Date, the RSUs may not be pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred or disposed of, including by entering into any short position, any “put equivalent position” or any “call equivalent position” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) and Rule 16a-1(b) of the Exchange Act, respectively), other than as permitted in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph.
4.    Acknowledgement. The Company and Participant agree that the RSUs are granted under and governed by the Notice of Grant, this RSU Agreement and by the provisions of the Plan (incorporated herein by reference). Participant (i) acknowledges receipt of a copy of each of the foregoing documents, (ii) represents that Participant has carefully read and is familiar with their provisions and (iii) hereby accepts the RSUs subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth herein and those set forth in the Plan and the Notice of Grant.
5.    Limitations on Transfer of Stock. In addition to any other limitation on transfer created by applicable securities laws, Participant shall not assign, encumber or dispose of any interest in the Shares issued pursuant to this RSU Agreement except with the Company’s prior written consent and in compliance with the Company’s Bylaws, the Company’s then-current Insider Trading Policy and applicable securities laws. The restrictions on transfer also include a prohibition on any short position, any “put equivalent position” or any “call equivalent position” by the RSU holder with respect to the RSU itself as well as any Shares issuable upon settlement of the RSU prior to the settlement thereof until the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
6.    Restrictions Binding on Transferees. All transferees of Shares or any interest therein will receive and hold such shares or interest subject to the provisions of this RSU Agreement, including the 
- 1 -

transfer restrictions of Sections 3 and 5, and the transferee shall acknowledge such restrictions in writing. Any sale or transfer of the Shares shall be void unless the provisions of this RSU Agreement are satisfied.
7.    Withholding of Tax. When the RSUs are vested and/or settled, the fair market value of the Shares shall be treated as income subject to withholding by the Company for income and employment taxes  if  Participant  is  or  was  an  employee  of  the  Company.  Prior  to  any  relevant  taxable  or  tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account and other tax-related items related to the Participant's participation in this Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (collectively, “Tax-Related Obligations”). In this regard, Participant authorizes the Company to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Obligations legally payable by Participant from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Participant by the Company and/or a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company. With the Company’s consent, these arrangements may also include, if permissible under local law, (i) withholding Shares that otherwise would be issued to Participant when Participant’s RSUs are settled, (ii) having the Company withhold taxes from the proceeds of the sale of the Shares, through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Participant’s behalf and Participant hereby authorizes such sales by this authorization), (iii) Participant’s payment of a cash amount or (iv) any other arrangement approved by the Company, all under such rules as may be established by the Administrator and in compliance with the Company’s Insider Trading Policy and 10b5-1 Trading Plan Policy, if applicable,  provided,  however, that if Participant is a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Exchange Act, then the method of withholding shall be through a mandatory sale under (ii) above. Depending on the withholding method, the Company and/or a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Obligations by considering up to the applicable maximum statutory withholding rates, in which case Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Shares. In the case of withholding in Shares, the Company shall issue the net number of Shares to Participant by deducting the Shares retained for Tax-Related Obligations from the Shares issuable upon vesting. For tax purposes, Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Obligations.
8.    Code Section 409A. For purposes of this RSU Agreement, a termination of employment will be determined consistent with the rules relating to a “separation from service” as defined in Section 409A of the  Code  and  the  regulations  thereunder  (“Section  409A”).  Notwithstanding  anything  else  provided herein, to the extent any payments provided under this RSU Agreement in connection with Participant’s termination of employment constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, and Participant is deemed at the time of such termination of employment to be a “specified employee” under Section 409A, then such payment shall not be made or commence until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from Participant’s separation from service from the Company or (ii) the date of Participant’s death following such a separation from service;  provided,  however, that such deferral shall only be effected to the extent required to avoid adverse tax treatment to Participant including, without limitation, the additional tax for which Participant would otherwise be liable under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) in the absence of such a deferral. The first payment thereof will include a catch-up payment covering the amount that would have otherwise been paid during the period between Participant’s termination of employment and the first payment date but for the application of this provision, and the balance of the installments (if any) will be payable in accordance with their original schedule. To the extent that any provision of this RSU Agreement is ambiguous as to its exemption from or compliance with Section 409A, the provision will be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder are exempt from Section 409A to the maximum permissible extent and, for any payments where such construction is 
- 2 -

not reasonable, that those payments comply with Section 409A. To the extent any payment under this RSU Agreement may be classified as a “short-term deferral” within the meaning of Section 409A, such payment shall be deemed a short-term deferral, even if it may also qualify for an exemption from Section 409A under another provision of Section 409A. Payments pursuant to this section are intended to constitute separate payments for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.
9.    U.S. Tax Consequences. Participant acknowledges that there will be tax consequences upon vesting and/or settlement of the RSUs and/or disposition of the Shares, if any, received in connection therewith, and Participant should consult a tax adviser regarding Participant’s tax obligations prior to such settlement or disposition.
10.    Compliance  with  Laws  and  Regulations.  The  issuance  of  Shares  will  be  subject  to  and conditioned upon compliance by the Company and Participant (including any written representations, warranties  and  agreements  as  the  Administrator  may  request  of  Participant  for  compliance  with Applicable  Laws)  with  all  applicable  state,  federal  and  foreign  laws  and  regulations  and  with  all applicable requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock may be listed or quoted at the time of such issuance or transfer. Participant may not be issued any Shares if such issuance 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 Shares may then be listed. 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 shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares.
11.    Legend  on  Certificates.  The  certificates  representing  the  Shares  issued  hereunder  shall  be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Administrator may deem advisable under the Plan, this RSU Agreement, the Company’s Bylaws, or the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which such shares of the Common Stock are listed and any applicable state, Federal or foreign laws, and the Administrator may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.
12.    Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this RSU Agreement. This RSU Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. This RSU Agreement will be binding upon Participant and Participant’s heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns.
13.    Entire Agreement; Severability. The Plan and Notice of Grant are incorporated herein by reference. The Plan, the Notice of Grant and this RSU Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof (including, without limitation, any commitment to make any other form of equity award (such as stock options) that may have been set forth in any employment offer letter or other agreement between the parties). If any provision of this RSU Agreement is determined by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable, then such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible and the other provisions will remain fully effective and enforceable.
14.    No Rights as Employee, Director or Consultant. Nothing in this RSU Agreement shall affect in any manner whatsoever the right or power of the Company, or a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, to cause Participant as a Service Provider, for any reason, with or without cause.
- 3 -

 15.    Information to Participants. If the Company is relying on an exemption from registration under Section 12(h)-1 of the Exchange Act and such information is required to be provided by such Section 12(h)-1, the Company shall provide the information described in Rules 701(e)(3), (4) and (5) of the Securities Act by a method allowed under Section 12(h)-1 of the Exchange Act in accordance with Section  12(h)-1  of  the  Exchange  Act,   provided,  that  Participant  agrees  to  keep  the  information confidential.
16.    Delivery of Documents and Notices. Any document relating to participating in the Plan and/or notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given (except to the extent that this RSU Agreement provides for effectiveness only upon actual receipt of such notice) upon personal delivery, electronic delivery or deposit in the U.S. Post Office or foreign postal service, by registered or certified mail, with postage and fees prepaid, addressed to the other party at the address, if any, provided for Participant by the Company or at such other address as such party may designate in writing from time to time to the other party.
17.    Choice of Law and Venue. This RSU Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, as such laws are applied to contracts entered into and performed in such State. For purposes of any action, lawsuit or other proceedings brought to enforce this RSU Agreement, relating to it, or arising from it, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Los Angeles County, California, or the federal courts for the United States for the Southern District of California, and no other courts, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.

the  terms  and conditions of the Plan shall apply to grant of Awards to Israeli Employee or Israeli Non-Employee. In the event of conflict between the Sub-Plan and the Plan the Sub-Plan would take precedence as for the provisions with respect to Section 102 of the Ordinance.

The Trustee is deemed to be instructed by the Participant to sign such proxy, as requested by the Company. The proxy shall entitle the holder thereof to receive notices, vote and take such other actions in respect of the Shares or other Securities. Any person holding or  exercising  such  voting  proxies  shall  do  so  solely  in  his  capacity  as  the  proxy  holder  and  not individually. All Awards granted hereunder shall be conditioned upon the execution of such irrevocable proxy in substantially the form prescribed by the Plan Administrator from time to time. So long as any such Shares are subject to such irrevocable proxy and power of attorney or held by a Trustee (and unless a proxy was given by the Trustee as aforesaid), (i) in any shareholders meeting or written consent in lieu thereof, such Shares shall be voted by the proxy holder (or the Trustee, as applicable), unless directed otherwise by the Board, in the same proportion as the result of the vote at the shareholders’ meeting (or written consent in lieu thereof) in respect of which the Shares are being voted (whether an extraordinary or annual meeting, and whether of the share capital as one class or of any class thereof), and (ii) or in any act or consent of shareholders under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise, such Shares shall be cast by the proxy holder (or the Trustee, as applicable), unless directed otherwise by the Board, in the same proportion as the result of the shareholders’ act or consent. The provisions of this Section shall apply to the Participant and to any purchaser, assignee or transferee of any Shares.

(a)    Legends. Participant understands and agrees that the Company shall cause any certificates, including electronic certificates, issued evidencing the Shares to have the legends set forth below or legends substantially equivalent thereto, together with any other legends that may be required by Applicable Laws:
THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (“ACT”), NOR HAVE THEY BEEN REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF   ANY STATE. NO TRANSFER OF SUCH SECURITIES WILL BE PERMITTED UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT IS IN EFFECT AS TO SUCH TRANSFER, THE TRANSFER IS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT, OR IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH MAY BE COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY)  REGISTRATION  UNDER  THE  ACT  IS UNNECESSARY IN ORDER FOR SUCH TRANSFER TO COMPLY WITH THE ACT AND WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN    AGREEMENT    BETWEEN    THE    COMPANY    AND    THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY. SUCH TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS ARE BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.
- 9 -

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND REPURCHASE RIGHT SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER, OR SUCH HOLDER’S PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY. ANY TRANSFER OR ATTEMPTED TRANSFER OF ANY SHARES SUBJECT TO SUCH REPURCHASE OPTION IS VOID WITHOUT THE PRIOR EXPRESS WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE COMPANY.

Participant agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the  restrictions  referred  to  in  the  Plan,  this  Agreement  and  the  Bylaws,  the  Company  may  issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.
(c)    Impermissible Transfers Void.

8.    Taxes.  Participant  understands  that  Participant  may  suffer  adverse  tax  and  national insurance consequences as a result of Participant’s purchase or disposition of the Shares. Participant represents that Participant has consulted with any tax consultants Participant deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition of the Shares and that Participant is not relying on the Company for any tax advice. Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Participant understands that Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for Participant’s tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
9.    Miscellaneous.
(a)    No Right To Employment or Other Status. No person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award, and the grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to continued employment or any other relationship with the Company. The Company expressly reserves the right at any time to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship with a Participant free from any liability or claim under the Plan or this Agreement.
(b)    Notices.  Any  notice  to  be  given  under  the  terms  of  this  Agreement  to  the Company shall be addressed to the Company in care of the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal office or to the then-current email address for the Secretary of the Company, and any notice to be given to Participant shall be addressed to Participant at the most-recent physical or email address for Participant listed in the Company’s personnel records. By a notice given pursuant to this Section 9(b), either party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice which is required to be given to Participant shall, if Participant is then deceased, be given to the person entitled to exercise his or her Option by written notice under this Section 9(b). Any notice shall be deemed duly given when sent via email or when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited (with postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service.
- 10 -

(c)    Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement and the Exercise Notice to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth, this Agreement shall be binding upon Participant and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.
(d)    Severability. In the event any portion of the Plan or this Agreement or any action taken pursuant thereto shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan and this Agreement, and the Plan and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provisions had not been included, and the illegal or invalid action shall be null and void.
(e)    Entire Agreement; Governing Documents.  The Plan (including the Sub-Plan),
the Grant Notice and this Agreement (including all Exhibits thereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof. In the event of any contradiction between the Plan and any Award Agreement or any other written agreement between a Participant and the Company that has been approved by the Administrator, the terms of the Plan shall govern, unless it is expressly specified in such Award Agreement or other written document that a specific provision of the Plan shall not apply.
(f)    Governing Law. The provisions of the Plan and all Awards made thereunder, including the Option, shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, disregarding choice-of-law principles of the law of any state that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such state.
(g)    Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the Sections in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and, in the event of any conflict, the text of this Agreement, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.

1.    Representations of Participant. Participant acknowledges that Participant has received, read and understood the Plan and the Agreement. Participant agrees to abide by and be bound by their terms and conditions. Participant further acknowledges that it is a condition to the issuance of the Shares to Participant upon exercise of the Option listed above that Participant agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of, and become a party to, any stockholders’ agreement of the Company. Participant hereby agrees to be so bound and to execute any additional documents as may be deemed necessary or advisable by the Company in order to effectuate the foregoing agreement.
2.    Tax Consultation. Participant understands that Participant may suffer adverse tax and national insurance consequences as a result of Participant’s purchase or disposition of the Shares. Participant represents that Participant has consulted with any tax consultants Participant deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition of the Shares and that Participant is not relying on the Company for any tax advice. Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Participant understands that Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for Participant’s tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
3.    Participant Representations. Participant hereby makes the following certifications and representations with respect to the Shares listed above:
(a)    Participant is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares. Participant is acquiring these Shares for investment for Participant’s own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act. 
1

(b)    Participant acknowledges and understands that the Shares constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Participant’s investment intent as expressed herein. Participant understands that the Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Participant further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under  no  obligation  to  register  the  Shares.  Participant  understands  that  the  electronic  certificate evidencing the Shares will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Shares unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and any other legend required under Applicable Laws.
(c)    Participant is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of the grant of the Option to Participant, the exercise will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In the event the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, ninety days thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off agreement may require) the securities exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by Rule 144.
(d)    In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of grant of the Option, then the securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144.
(e)    Participant further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that  persons  proposing  to  sell  private  placement  securities  other  than  in  a  registered  offering  and otherwise than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. Participant understands that no assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption will be available in such event.
(f)    Participant acknowledges that the Shares remain subject to the Company’s right of first refusal and certain transfer restrictions all in accordance with the Agreement and the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as it may be amended from time to time.

Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Stock Option Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) and the Agreement.
									
	Participant:	As described on Carta
			
	Grant Date:	As described on Carta
			
	Type of Award:
(check one)
		RSU designated as 102 Capital Gains Track Award (with Trustee) (Israel) 
			
		ü	RSU designated as 102 Ordinary Income Track Award (with Trustee) (Israel) (“Trustee 102 Award”)
			
			RSU designated as 102 Non-Trustee Award (Israel)

	Vesting Commencement Date:	As described on Carta
			
	Total Number of RSUs:	As described on Carta
			
	Expiration Date:  	As described on Carta

Vesting:
(a)    Two-Tiered  Vesting:  Vesting  of  RSUs  is  conditioned  on  satisfaction  of  two vesting requirements before the Expiration Date or earlier termination of RSUs pursuant to the Plan or Agreement: a time- and service-based requirement (the “Time and Service Requirement”) and a liquidity-event requirement (the “Liquidity Event Requirement”), each as described below.
(1)    Time and Service Requirement: For so long as Participant continues to be a Service Provider through each applicable date, the Time and Service Requirement will be satisfied as to (i) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Total Number  of  RSUs  (as  set  forth  above)  subject  to  this  award  on  the  first anniversary  of  the  Vesting  Commencement  Date,  provided  that  the  Initial Vesting Event has not occurred before such date, or 1/16 of the Total Number of RSUs for each Quarterly Vesting Date (as defined below) that occurred between the Vesting Commencement Date and Initial Vesting Event and (ii) an additional 1/16 of the Total Number of RSUs thereafter on each subsequent March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 (each, a “Quarterly Vesting Date”).
- 1 -

(2)    Liquidity Event Requirement: The Liquidity Event Requirement will be satisfied on the earliest to occur of: (i) the first trading day following expiration of  the  “lockup”  period  applicable  to  the  Company’s  initial  public  offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the offer and sale by the Company of its equity securities (such initial public offering, the “IPO”), (ii) March 15 of the calendar year following the year in which the IPO was declared effective and (iii) a Change in Control (the earliest of these, the “Initial Vesting Event”).
(b)    RSUs Vested at Initial Vesting Event. If at the time of the Initial Vesting Event Participant is not a Service Provider and did not meet the Time and Service Requirement with respect to any portion of the RSUs, then no portion of the RSUs shall vest. If at the time of the Initial Vesting Event, Participant is a Service Provider or has ceased to be a Service Provider but did meet the Time and Service Requirement with respect to any portion of the RSUs, then the RSUs shall vest as to the number of RSUs, if any, that have satisfied the Time and Service Requirement as of the Initial Vesting Event in accordance with clause (a)(1) above.
(c)    RSUs Vested after Initial Vesting Event. If Participant is a Service Provider at the time of the Initial Vesting Event, then with respect to RSUs that have not vested as of such Initial Vesting Event under the preceding clause (b) above, vesting shall continue after the Initial Vesting Event in accordance with the Time and Service Requirement set forth  in  clause  (a)(1)  above  (each  subsequent  vesting  date,  a  “Subsequent  Vesting Event”).
Settlement:
(a)    RSUs that vest as of the Initial Vesting Event shall be settled immediately upon the Initial Vesting Event. Within 30 days following the occurrence of any Subsequent Vesting Event, RSUs that vest as of the Subsequent Vesting Event shall be settled. Settlement means the delivery of the Shares vested under an RSU. Settlement of RSUs on the Initial Vesting Event or any Subsequent Vesting Event shall be in Shares. Settlement of vested RSUs shall occur regardless of whether Participant has undergone a Service Provider at the time of settlement. No fractional RSUs or rights for fractional Shares shall be created pursuant to this Notice of Grant.
(b)    Participant understands that Participant’s employment or consulting relationship with the Company is for an unspecified duration, can be terminated at any time (i.e., is “at-will”) and that nothing in this Notice of Grant, the Agreement or the Plan changes the at-will nature of that relationship. Participant acknowledges that the vesting of the RSUs pursuant to this Notice of Grant is conditioned on the occurrence of an Initial Vesting Event or a Subsequent Vesting Event. Participant also understands that this Notice of Grant is subject to the terms and conditions of both the Agreement and the Plan, both of which are incorporated herein by reference. Participant has read both the Agreement and the Plan.
(c)    By Participant’s acceptance hereof (whether written, electronic or otherwise), Participant  agrees,  to  the  fullest  extent  permitted  by  law,  that  in  lieu  of  receiving documents in paper format, Participant accepts the electronic delivery of any documents the Company, or any third party involved in administering the Plan which the Company may designate, may deliver in connection with this grant (including the Plan, the Notice of Grant, the Agreement, any disclosures provided pursuant to Rule 701, account statements or other communications or information) whether via the Company’s intranet or the internet site of another such third party or via email, or such other means of electronic delivery specified by the Company.
- 2 -

(d)    In case of RSUs designated as Trustee 102 Award, settled during the Required Holding Period, the Shares shall be issued to and in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Participant. In the case of 102 RSU Award (with Trustee) settled after the Holding Period, the Shares issued upon the settlement shall be issued either in the name of the Trustee or the Participant, at the election of Participant; provided, however, that in the event the Participant elects to receive the Shares directly to his/her possession, the issuance shall be subject to the payment of any and all applicable taxes and compulsory payments by the Participant. The Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares subject to RSUs until the Participant shall have, if required, paid all applicable taxes and compulsory payments therefor and becomes the record holder of the subject Shares.
(e)    Without derogating from the provision of the Plan, in the event that the Company or, with respect to Trustee 102 Award, the Trustee determines that it is required to withhold any tax as a result of the settlement of RSUs, the Participant, as a condition to the settlement of RSUs, shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee, if applicable, to enable it to satisfy all withholding requirements. The Participant shall also make arrangements satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee, if applicable, to enable it to satisfy any withholding requirements that may arise in connection with the vesting or disposition of Shares acquired pursuant to the grant of an RSU under the Plan. Furthermore, the Participant shall indemnify the Company and the Trustee, if applicable, and hold them harmless against and from any and all liability for any such tax or interest or penalty thereon, including without limitation, liabilities relating to withholding.
Termination:
(a)    The RSUs shall terminate on the Expiration Date or earlier, as provided in this paragraph. If Participant undergoes a Termination of Service for any reason, all RSUs for which vesting is no longer possible under the terms of this Notice of Grant and the Agreement shall be forfeited to the Company immediately, and all rights of Participant to such RSUs shall immediately terminate. In case of any dispute as to whether such Termination of Service has occurred, the Administrator shall have sole discretion to determine whether such Termination of Service has occurred and the effective date of such Termination of Service. For clarity:   All RSUs for which vesting is still possible will remain outstanding for the minimum amount of time necessary to determine whether such RSUs will vest.
(b)    By Participant’s and the Company’s acceptance hereof (in each case, whether written, electronic or otherwise), Participant and the Company agree that this RSU is granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan, this Notice of Grant and the Agreement.

EXHIBIT A
TO RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD NOTICE 
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
Participant has been granted Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) subject to the terms, restrictions and conditions of the Company’s Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award (“Notice of Grant”) and this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (this “RSU Agreement”). Unless otherwise defined herein or in the Notice of Grant, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this RSU Agreement.
1.    No Stockholder Rights. Unless and until such time as Shares are issued in settlement of vested RSUs, Participant shall have no ownership of the Shares allocated to the RSUs and shall have no right to dividends or to vote such Shares.
2.    Dividend  Equivalents.  Dividend  equivalents,  if  any,  shall  not  be  credited  to  Participant  in respect of Participant’s RSUs.
3.    No Transfer. The RSUs and any interest therein may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution. The terms of the Plan, the Notice of Grant and this RSU Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of Participant. Further, until the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or after the Administrator determines that it is, will, or may no longer be relying upon the exemption from registration of RSUs under the Exchange Act as set forth in Rule 12h- 1(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (the “Reliance End Date”), Participant shall not transfer these RSUs in any manner other than (i) to persons who are “family members” (as defined in Rule 701(c)(3) of the Securities Act) through gifts or domestic relations orders or (ii) to an executor or guardian of Participant upon the death or disability of Participant. Until the Reliance End Date, the RSUs may not be pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred or disposed of, including by entering into any short position, any “put equivalent position” or any “call equivalent position” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) and Rule 16a-1(b) of the Exchange Act, respectively), other than as permitted in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph.
4.    Acknowledgement. The Company and Participant agree that the RSUs are granted under and governed by the Notice of Grant, this RSU Agreement and by the provisions of the Plan (incorporated herein by reference). Participant (i) acknowledges receipt of a copy of each of the foregoing documents, (ii) represents that Participant has carefully read and is familiar with their provisions and (iii) hereby accepts the RSUs subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth herein and those set forth in the Plan and the Notice of Grant.
5.    Limitations on Transfer of Stock. In addition to any other limitation on transfer created by applicable securities laws, Participant shall not assign, encumber or dispose of any interest in the Shares issued pursuant to this RSU Agreement except with the Company’s prior written consent and in compliance with the Company’s Bylaws, the Company’s then-current Insider Trading Policy and applicable securities laws. The restrictions on transfer also include a prohibition on any short position, any “put equivalent position” or any “call equivalent position” by the RSU holder with respect to the RSU itself as well as any Shares issuable upon settlement of the RSU prior to the settlement thereof until the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
6.    Restrictions Binding on Transferees. All transferees of Shares or any interest therein will receive and hold such shares or interest subject to the provisions of this RSU Agreement, including the 
- 1 -

transfer restrictions of Sections 3 and 5, and the transferee shall acknowledge such restrictions in writing. Any sale or transfer of the Shares shall be void unless the provisions of this RSU Agreement are satisfied.
7.    Section 102 of the Ordinance. To the extent and with respect to Trustee 102 Awards, the Participant acknowledges, undertakes and confirms that: (i) the Participant fully understands that Section 102 Ordinance and the rules and regulations enacted thereunder apply to the RSUs, and (ii) the Participant understands the provisions of Section 102 of the Ordinance, the tax track chosen thereunder and the implications thereof. With respect to RSUs granted under Section 102, the terms of such RSUs shall also be subject to the terms of the Trust Agreement made between the Company and the Trustee (the “Trust Agreement”) for the benefit of the Participant as well as the requirements of the ITA. The Participant shall sign all documents requested by the Company or the Trustee, in accordance with and under the Trust Agreement. A copy of the Trust Agreement is available for the Participant’s review, during normal working hours, at the Company’s offices.
7.1.    Participant Undertaking. Without derogating from the generality of the foregoing, to the extent and with respect to any RSUs that are 102 Capital Gain Track Awards, and as required by Section 102 of the Ordinance and the Income Tax Rules (Tax Benefits in Stock Issuance to Employees) 5763- 2003 or such other rules so adopted from time to time, the Participant acknowledges, undertakes and confirms in writing the following (which shall be apply and relate to all Awards granted to the Participant, whether under this Plan or other plans maintained by the Company, and whether prior to or after the date hereof, if any):
(a)    The Participant shall comply with all terms and conditions set forth in Section 102 of the Ordinance with regard to the “Capital Gain Track” and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as amended from time to time;
(b)    The Participant is familiar with, and understands the provisions of, Section 102 of the Ordinance in general, and the tax arrangement under the “Capital Gain Track” in particular, and its tax consequences; the Participant agrees that the RSUs and Shares that may be issued upon settlement of the RSUs (or otherwise in relation to the RSUs), will be held by a trustee appointed pursuant to Section 102 of the Ordinance for at least the duration of the Holding Period, as defined in Section 102 under the “Capital Gain Track”. The Participant understands that any release of such RSUs or Shares from trust, or any sale of the Share prior to the termination of the Holding Period, will result in taxation at marginal tax rates, in addition to deductions of appropriate social security, health tax contributions or other compulsory payments; and
(c)    The Participant agrees to the trust agreement signed between the Company, his/ her employing company and the trustee appointed pursuant to Section 102 of the Ordinance and shall sign all  documents  requested  by  the  Company  or  the  Trustee,  in  accordance  with  and  under  the  trust agreement.
8.    Withholding of Tax. When the RSUs are vested and/or settled, the fair market value of the Shares shall be treated as income subject to withholding by the Company for income and employment taxes  if  Participant  is  or  was  an  employee  of  the  Company.  Prior  to  any  relevant  taxable  or  tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account and other tax-related items related to the Participant's participation in this Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (collectively, “Tax-Related Obligations”). In this regard, Participant authorizes the Company to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Obligations legally payable by Participant from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Participant by the Company and/or a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company. With the Company’s consent, these arrangements may also include, if 
- 2 -

permissible under local law, (i) withholding Shares that otherwise would be issued to Participant when Participant’s RSUs are settled, (ii) having the Company withhold taxes from the proceeds of the sale of the Shares, through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Participant’s behalf and Participant hereby authorizes such sales by this authorization), (iii) Participant’s payment of a cash amount or (iv) any other arrangement approved by the Company, all under such rules as may be established by the Administrator and in compliance with the Company’s Insider Trading Policy and 10b5-1 Trading Plan Policy, if applicable,  provided,  however, that if Participant is a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Exchange Act, then the method of withholding shall be through a mandatory sale under (ii) above. Depending on the withholding method, the Company and/or a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Obligations by considering up to the applicable maximum statutory withholding rates, in which case Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Shares. In the case of withholding in Shares, the Company shall issue the net number of Shares to Participant by deducting the Shares retained for Tax-Related Obligations from the Shares issuable upon vesting. For tax purposes, Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Obligations.
9.    Code Section 409A. For purposes of this RSU Agreement, a termination of employment will be determined consistent with the rules relating to a “separation from service” as defined in Section 409A of the  Code  and  the  regulations  thereunder  (“Section  409A”).  Notwithstanding  anything  else  provided herein, to the extent any payments provided under this RSU Agreement in connection with Participant’s termination of employment constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, and Participant is deemed at the time of such termination of employment to be a “specified employee” under Section 409A, then such payment shall not be made or commence until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from Participant’s separation from service from the Company or (ii) the date of Participant’s death following such a separation from service;  provided,  however, that such deferral shall only be effected to the extent required to avoid adverse tax treatment to Participant including, without limitation, the additional tax for which Participant would otherwise be liable under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) in the absence of such a deferral. The first payment thereof will include a catch-up payment covering the amount that would have otherwise been paid during the period between Participant’s termination of employment and the first payment date but for the application of this provision, and the balance of the installments (if any) will be payable in accordance with their original schedule. To the extent that any provision of this RSU Agreement is ambiguous as to its exemption from or compliance with Section 409A, the provision will be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder are exempt from Section 409A to the maximum permissible extent and, for any payments where such construction is not reasonable, that those payments comply with Section 409A. To the extent any payment under this RSU Agreement may be classified as a “short-term deferral” within the meaning of Section 409A, such payment shall be deemed a short-term deferral, even if it may also qualify for an exemption from Section 409A under another provision of Section 409A. Payments pursuant to this section are intended to constitute separate payments for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.
10.    Tax Consequences. Participant acknowledges that there will be tax consequences upon vesting and/or settlement of the RSUs and/or disposition of the Shares, if any, received in connection therewith, and  Participant  should  consult  a  tax  adviser  regarding  Participant’s  tax  obligations  prior  to  such settlement or disposition. THE COMPANY DOES NOT ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO ADVISE THE PARTICIPANT ON SUCH MATTERS, WHICH SHALL REMAIN SOLELY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PARTICIPANT. Without derogating from the Plan, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, including the indication under “Type of Award” above, the Company shall be 
- 3 -

under no duty to ensure, and no representation or commitment is made, that the RSU qualifies or will qualify  under any  particular  tax  treatment  (e.g.,  Section  102  or  any  other  treatment),  nor  shall  the Company be required to take any action for the qualification of any RSU under such tax treatment. If the RSUs do not qualify under any particular tax treatment it could result in adverse tax consequences to the Participant. By signing below, Participant agrees that the Company and its Affiliates and their respective employees, directors, officers and shareholders shall not be liable for any tax, penalty, interest or cost incurred by Participant as a result of such determination, nor will any of them have any liability of any kind or nature in the event that, for any reason whatsoever, an RSU does not qualify for any particular tax treatment.
11.    Compliance  with  Laws  and  Regulations.  The  issuance  of  Shares  will  be  subject  to  and conditioned upon compliance by the Company and Participant (including any written representations, warranties  and  agreements  as  the  Administrator  may  request  of  Participant  for  compliance  with Applicable  Laws)  with  all  applicable  state,  federal  and  foreign  laws  and  regulations  and  with  all applicable requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock may be listed or quoted at the time of such issuance or transfer. Participant may not be issued any Shares if such issuance 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 Shares may then be listed. 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 shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares.
12.    Legend  on  Certificates.  The  certificates  representing  the  Shares  issued  hereunder  shall  be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Administrator may deem advisable under the Plan, this RSU Agreement, the Company’s Bylaws, or the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which such shares of the Common Stock are listed and any applicable state, Federal or foreign laws, and the Administrator may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.
13.    Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this RSU Agreement. This RSU Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. This RSU Agreement will be binding upon Participant and Participant’s heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns.
14.    Entire Agreement; Severability. The Plan and Notice of Grant are incorporated herein by reference. The Plan, the Notice of Grant and this RSU Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof (including, without limitation, any commitment to make any other form of equity award (such as stock options) that may have been set forth in any employment offer letter or other agreement between the parties). If any provision of this RSU Agreement is determined by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable, then such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible and the other provisions will remain fully effective and enforceable.
15.    No Rights as Employee, Director or Consultant. Nothing in this RSU Agreement shall affect in any manner whatsoever the right or power of the Company, or a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, to cause Participant as a Service Provider, for any reason, with or without cause.
16.    Information to Participants. If the Company is relying on an exemption from registration under Section 12(h)-1 of the Exchange Act and such information is required to be provided by such Section 
- 4 -

12(h)-1, the Company shall provide the information described in Rules 701(e)(3), (4) and (5) of the Securities Act by a method allowed under Section 12(h)-1 of the Exchange Act in accordance with Section  12(h)-1  of  the  Exchange  Act,   provided,  that  Participant  agrees  to  keep  the  information confidential.
17.    Delivery of Documents and Notices. Any document relating to participating in the Plan and/or notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given (except to the extent that this RSU Agreement provides for effectiveness only upon actual receipt of such notice) upon personal delivery, electronic delivery or deposit in the U.S. Post Office or foreign postal service, by registered or certified mail, with postage and fees prepaid, addressed to the other party at the address, if any, provided for Participant by the Company or at such other address as such party may designate in writing from time to time to the other party.
18.    Choice of Law and Venue. This RSU Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, as such laws are applied to contracts entered into and performed in such State. For purposes of any action, lawsuit or other proceedings brought to enforce this RSU Agreement, relating to it, or arising from it, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Los Angeles County, California, or the federal courts for the United States for the Southern District of California, and no other courts, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.

(iv)    In the event the Option or portion thereof shall be exercised pursuant to Section 3.1 by any person or persons other than Participant, appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option.
(v)    If  so  requested  by  the  Committee,  the  Participant  shall  enter  into  a Section 431 Election (as defined in the Sub-Plan) with respect to any shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Option and shall make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign tax obligations (including, but not limited to, any sums due pursuant to any Option Tax Liability and (if applicable) Secondary NIC Liability) with respect to such acquisition upon the making of such election. If the Participant is required to make a Section 431 Election such election shall be made within 14 days following the acquisition of the shares of Common Stock.
(d)    Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including Participant’s employment tax obligation together with any sums due pursuant to any Option Tax Liability and (if applicable) Secondary NIC Liability) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event concerning Participant arising as a result of the Option or otherwise under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the authority to deduct such amounts from other compensation payable to Participant by the Company.
(e)    Fractional  Shares.  The  Option  may  only  be  exercised  for  whole  shares  of Common Stock. Any fractional Shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share.

Participant acknowledges that an Incentive Stock Option exercised more than three months after Participant’s termination of status as an Employee, other than by reason of death or Disability, will be taxed as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
5.    Transferability. The Option shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by Participant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and, during the life of the Participant, the Option shall be exercisable only by the Participant.
6.    Bylaws Restrictions. Participant and any transferee of the Shares agree that the Shares and any interest therein are subject to the right of first refusal and any and all restrictions on transfer set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Bylaws”).
7.    Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders.
(a)    Legends. Participant understands and agrees that the Company shall cause any certificates, including electronic certificates, issued evidencing the Shares to have the legends set forth below or legends substantially equivalent thereto, together with any other legends that may be required by Applicable Laws:
THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (“ACT”), NOR HAVE THEY BEEN REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. NO TRANSFER OF SUCH SECURITIES WILL BE PERMITTED UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT IS IN EFFECT AS TO SUCH TRANSFER, THE TRANSFER IS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT, OR IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH MAY BE COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY)  REGISTRATION  UNDER  THE  ACT  IS UNNECESSARY IN ORDER FOR SUCH TRANSFER TO COMPLY WITH THE ACT AND WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN    AGREEMENT    BETWEEN    THE    COMPANY    AND    THE 
4

STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY. SUCH TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS ARE BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND REPURCHASE RIGHT SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER, OR SUCH HOLDER’S PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY. ANY TRANSFER OR ATTEMPTED TRANSFER OF ANY SHARES SUBJECT TO SUCH REPURCHASE OPTION IS VOID WITHOUT THE PRIOR EXPRESS WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE COMPANY.
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AS PROVIDED IN THE BYLAWS OF THE COMPANY.
(b)    Stop Transfer Orders. Participant agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the  restrictions  referred  to  in  the  Plan,  this  Agreement  and  the  Bylaws,  the  Company  may  issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.
(c)    Impermissible Transfers Void. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Bylaws or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred.
8.    Taxes.  Participant  understands  that  Participant  may  suffer  adverse  tax  and  national insurance consequences as a result of Participant’s purchase or disposition of the Shares. Participant represents that Participant has consulted with any tax consultants Participant deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition of the Shares and that Participant is not relying on the Company for any tax advice. Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Participant understands that Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for Participant’s tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
9.    Miscellaneous.
(a)    No Right To Employment or Other Status. No person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award, and the grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to continued employment or any other relationship with the Company. The Company expressly reserves the right at any time to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship with a Participant free from any liability or claim under the Plan or this Agreement.
(b)    Notices.  Any  notice  to  be  given  under  the  terms  of  this  Agreement  to  the Company shall be addressed to the Company in care of the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal office or to the then-current email address for the Secretary of the Company, and any notice to be given to Participant shall be addressed to Participant at the most-recent physical or email address for Participant listed in the Company’s personnel records. By a notice given pursuant to this Section 9(b), 
5

either party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice which is required to be given to Participant shall, if Participant is then deceased, be given to the person entitled to exercise his or her Option by written notice under this Section 9(b). Any notice shall be deemed duly given when sent via email or when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited (with postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service.
(c)    Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement and the Exercise Notice to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth, this Agreement shall be binding upon Participant and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.
(d)    Severability. In the event any portion of the Plan or this Agreement or any action taken pursuant thereto shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan and this Agreement, and the Plan and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provisions had not been included, and the illegal or invalid action shall be null and void.
(e)    Entire Agreement; Governing Documents. The Plan (including the Sub-Plan),the Grant Notice and this Agreement (including all Exhibits thereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof. In the event of any contradiction between the Plan and any Award Agreement or any other written agreement between a Participant and the Company that has been approved by the Administrator, the terms of the Plan shall govern, unless it is expressly specified in such Award Agreement or other written document that a specific provision of the Plan shall not apply.
(f)    Governing Law. The provisions of the Plan and all Awards made thereunder, including the Option, shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, disregarding choice-of-law principles of the law of any state that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such state.
(g)    Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the Sections in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and, in the event of any conflict, the text of this Agreement, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.

Participant hereby agrees to be so bound and to execute any additional documents as may be deemed necessary or advisable by the Company in order to effectuate the foregoing agreement.
2.    Tax Consultation. Participant understands that Participant may suffer adverse tax and national insurance consequences as a result of Participant’s purchase or disposition of the Shares. Participant represents that Participant has consulted with any tax consultants Participant deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition of the Shares and that Participant is not relying on the Company for any tax advice. Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Participant understands that Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for Participant’s tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
3.    Participant Representations. Participant hereby makes the following certifications and representations with respect to the Shares listed above:
(a)    Participant is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares. Participant is acquiring these Shares for investment for Participant’s own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act. 
7

(b)    Participant acknowledges and understands that the Shares constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Participant’s investment intent as expressed herein. Participant understands that the Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Participant further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under  no  obligation  to  register  the  Shares.  Participant  understands  that  the  electronic  certificate evidencing the Shares will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Shares unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and any other legend required under Applicable Laws.
(c)    Participant is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of the grant of the Option to Participant, the exercise will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In the event the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, ninety days thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off agreement may require) the securities exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by Rule 144.
(d)    In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of grant of the Option, then the securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144.
(e)    Participant further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that  persons  proposing  to  sell  private  placement  securities  other  than  in  a  registered  offering  and otherwise than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. Participant understands that no assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption will be available in such event.
(f)    Participant acknowledges that the Shares remain subject to the Company’s right of first refusal and certain transfer restrictions all in accordance with the Agreement and the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as it may be amended from time to time.
4.    Regulation S. If Participant’s address is an address located outside of the United States, participant will make the following additional representations, warranties and agreements:

(g)    Registration or Exemption. Participant will, after the expiration of the applicable Restricted Period,  offer,  sell,  pledge  or  otherwise  transfer  the  Shares  (or  create  or  maintain  any derivative position equivalent thereto) only pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or any available exemption therefrom and, in any case, in accordance with applicable state securities laws.
(h)    No Transfer in Violation of Restrictions; Legend. Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall not register the transfer of the Shares in violation of these restrictions.
