 (b) Upon the selection of a Non-Employee Director to be granted an Option pursuant to Section 3.4(a), the Board shall instruct the Secretary or another authorized officer of the Company to issue such Option and

 6 

 
the generality of the preceding sentence, the Board may require as a condition to the grant of an Option to a Non-Employee Director that the Non-Employee
Director surrender for cancellation some or all of the unexercised Options which have been previously granted to such Non-Employee Director. An Option the grant of which is conditioned upon such surrender may have an Option price lower or higher
than the Option price of the surrendered Option, may cover the same or a lesser or greater number of shares of Common Stock as the surrendered Option, may contain such other terms as the Board deems appropriate (provided such terms and conditions

 ARTICLE IV. 
 TERMS OF OPTIONS

 Section 4.1 Stock Option Agreement 
 Each Option shall be evidenced by a written Stock Option Agreement, which shall be executed by the Optionee and an authorized Officer of the Company and
which shall contain such terms and conditions as the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Options granted to Non-Employee Directors) shall determine (provided such terms and conditions are consistent with the Plan). In the event of a conflict
between the terms of the Stock Option Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern. Stock Option Agreements evidencing Incentive Stock Options shall contain such terms and conditions as may be necessary to qualify such
Options as “incentive stock options” under Section 422 of the Code. 
 Section 4.2 Exercisability Of
Options 
 (a) Each Option shall become exercisable according to the terms of the applicable Stock Option Agreement; provided,
however, that by a resolution adopted after an Option is granted the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Options granted to Non-Employee Directors) may, on such terms and conditions as it may determine to be appropriate, accelerate the
time at which such Option or any portion thereof may be exercised. 
 (b) Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Stock Option
Agreement, no portion of an Option which is unexercisable at Termination of Employment, Termination of Directorship or Termination of Consultancy, as applicable, shall thereafter become exercisable. 
 (c) To the extent that the aggregate fair market value of stock with respect to which “incentive stock options” (within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Code, but without regard to Section 422(d) of the Code) are exercisable for the first time by an Optionee during any calendar year (under the Plan and all other incentive stock option plans of the Company or any
Subsidiary thereof) exceeds $100,000, such options shall be treated and taxable as Non-Qualified Stock Options. The 

  

 7 

 
rule set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied by taking options into account in the order in which they were granted, and the stock issued upon
exercise of options shall designate whether such stock was acquired upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option. For purposes of these rules, the fair market value of stock shall be determined as of the date of grant of the Option granted with
respect to such stock and in the manner set forth in Section 4.3(b). 
 Section 4.3 Option Price 

(a) The price of the Common Stock subject to each Option shall be set by the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Options granted to Non-Employee
Directors); provided, however, that the price per share of Common Stock shall be not less than 100% of the fair market value of such shares on the date such Option is granted (determined as set forth in Section 4.3(b)); and, that,
with respect to an Incentive Stock Option, in the case of an individual then owning (within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, the price per share
of Common Stock shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of such shares on the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted (determined as set forth in Section 4.3(b)). 
 (b) For purposes of the Plan, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as of a given date shall be: 
 (i) if the Common Stock is listed on one or more National Securities Exchanges (within the meaning of the Exchange Act), each share of Common Stock shall
be valued at the closing price of a share of Common Stock on the principal exchange on which such shares are then trading, or, if no sales of Common Stock were made on such exchange on that date, the closing price of a share of Common Stock for the
next preceding day on which sales of Common Stock were made on the exchange; 
 (ii) if the Common Stock is not traded on a National
Securities Exchange but is quoted on NASDAQ or a successor quotation system and the Common Stock is listed as a National Market Issue under the NASD National Market System, each share of Common Stock shall be valued at the last sales price per share
of Common Stock on such date as reported by NASDAQ or such successor quotation system, or, if no sales of Common Stock were reported by NASDAQ or such successor quotation system on that date, the last price of a share of Common Stock as reported by
NASDAQ or such successor quotation system for the next preceding day on which sales of Common Stock were reported by NASDAQ or such successor quotation system; or 
 (iii) if the Common Stock is not publicly traded on a National Securities Exchange and is not quoted on NASDAQ or a successor quotation system, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be determined in good
faith by the Committee.

 (a) The expiration of ten years from the date the Option was granted; or 
 (b) With respect to an Incentive Stock Option in the case of an Optionee owning (within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code), at the time the Incentive Stock Option was granted, more than 10% of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, the expiration of five years from the date the Incentive Stock Option was granted.

aggregate Option price of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which such Option or portion is thereby exercised; or 
 (ii) Unless
otherwise determined by the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Options granted to Non-Employee Directors), any combination of the consideration listed in this Section 5.3(c);

 Section 5.4 Conditions To Issuance Of Stock Certificates 
 The shares of Common Stock issuable and
deliverable upon the exercise of an Option, or any portion thereof, may be either previously authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or issued shares of Common Stock which have then been reacquired by the Company. A 

  

 10 

 
certificate of shares of Common Stock will be delivered to the Optionee at the Company’s principal place of business within thirty days of receipt by
the Company of the written notice and payment, unless an earlier date is agreed upon. Notwithstanding the above, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock purchased upon the

 Section 5.5 Rights As Stockholders 
 The holder of an Option shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company in respect of any shares of Common Stock
purchasable upon the exercise of any part of an Option unless and until such holder has signed a Joinder to the Stockholders’ Agreement designated by the Company (in the form attached to such Stockholders’ Agreement) and certificates
representing such shares of Common Stock have been issued by the Company to such holder. 
 Section 5.6 Transfer

 Shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of an Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions of a

purchasable upon the exercise of an Option as it deems appropriate. Any such restriction shall be set forth in the respective Stock Option Agreement and may be referred to on the certificates evidencing such shares of Common Stock. The Committee may
require the Employee to give the Company prompt notice of any disposition of shares of Common Stock, acquired by exercise of an Incentive Stock Option, within two years from the date of granting such Option or one year after the transfer of such
shares of Common Stock to such Employee. The Committee may direct that the certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock acquired by exercise of an Incentive Stock Option refer to such requirement.

 ARTICLE VII. 
 OTHER PROVISIONS 
 Section 7.1 Changes In Common Stock; Disposition Of Assets
And Corporate Events. 
 (a) Subject to Section 7.1(d), (x) in the event that the Committee (or the Board, in the case of
Options granted to Non-Employee Directors) determines that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split,
reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, liquidation, dissolution, or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole (including, but not limited to, a Liquidity Event), 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, in the Committee’s sole discretion (or in the case of Options granted to Non-Employee Directors, the Board’s sole discretion), affects the Common Stock or the value thereof, or (y) in the event of the issuance of
securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or interim holding companies, in addition to the securities of any such entities outstanding as of the Closing Date, that would dilute (on a fully diluted basis) the equity interests of Optionees

in the Company and its Subsidiaries (taking into account any consideration received with respect to such securities), then the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Options granted to Non-Employee Directors) shall, in such manner and at such time,
and, for an event described in clause (x) above, to such extent as it deems appropriate and equitable in the circumstances, adjust any or all of the following so as to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits
intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect to an Option: 
 (i) The number and kind of shares (or other securities or
property) with respect to which Options may be granted under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 2.1 on the maximum number and kind of shares which may be issued);

Corporate Event, the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Options granted to Non-Employee Directors), in its sole discretion, is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Committee (or the Board, in the case
of Options granted to Non-Employee Directors) determines that such action is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Option
under the Plan, to facilitate such Corporate Event or to give effect to such changes in laws, regulations or principles: 
 (i) In its sole
discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Options granted to Non-Employee Directors) may provide, either by the terms of the applicable Stock Option Agreement or by action taken
prior to the occurrence of such Corporate Event and either automatically or upon the Optionee’s request, for either the purchase of any such Option for an amount of cash, securities, or other property equal to the amount that could have been

Non-Employee Directors) may provide, either by the terms of the applicable Stock Option Agreement or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such Corporate Event, that for a specified period of time prior to such Corporate Event, such Option
shall be exercisable as to all shares of Common Stock covered thereby or a specified portion of such shares of Common Stock, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in (A) Section 4.2; or (B) the provisions of the applicable Stock
Option Agreement; 
 (iv) In its sole discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, the Committee (or the Board, in
the case of Options granted to Non-Employee Directors) may provide, either by the terms of the applicable Stock Option Agreement or by action taken prior to the 

  

 14 

 
occurrence of such Corporate Event, that upon such Corporate Event, such Option (or any portion thereof) be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation,
or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar options, rights or 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 the exercise price subject to such Option; and 
 (v) In its sole discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems
appropriate, the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Options granted to Non-Employee Directors) may make adjustments in the number and type of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Options (or any
portion thereof) and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding Options and Options which may be granted in the future.

 (d) With respect to Incentive Stock Options, no adjustment or action described in this Section 7.1 or in any other provision of the Plan shall be authorized or permitted to be taken or implemented to the extent
that such adjustment or action would cause the Plan to violate Section 422(b)(1) of the Code or any successor provisions thereto, unless the Committee determines that the Plan and/or the Options are not to comply with Section 422(b)(1) of
the Code. 
 Section 7.2 Options Not Transferable 
 No Option or interest or right therein or part thereof shall be encumbered by any debts, contracts or engagements of the Optionee or the Optionee’s
successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, hypothecation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law, by
judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this
Section 7.2 shall prevent transfers of the Option to the Company or by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution. 
 Section 7.3 Amendment, Suspension Or Termination Of The Plan 
 The Plan may be wholly or partially
amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Board or the Committee in a written instrument. However, without stockholder approval within 12 months before or after such action no action of the Board

 15 

 
issued on exercise of Options, reduce the minimum Option price requirements of Section 4.3(a), or extend the limit imposed in this Section 7.3 on

in the Plan shall be construed to limit the right of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (a) to establish any other forms of incentives or compensation for directors, consultants or employees of the Company or any Subsidiary of the
Company; or (b) to grant or assume options other than under the Plan in connection with any proper purpose, including, but not by way of limitation, the grant or assumption of options in connection with the acquisition by purchase, lease,

extent permitted by law, the arbitrator’s fees and expenses will be borne equally by each party. In the event that an action is brought to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or the Plan pursuant to this Section 4.7, each party shall
