 4 

 3. Stock Subject to the Plan. 
 (a) Stock Subject to the Plan. Subject to the provisions of Section 13 below, the maximum aggregate number of Shares which
may be issued pursuant to this Plan is 127,100,000 Shares plus the number of Shares or options returned to the Company’s Incentive Stock Option Plan, 1987 Employee Stock Participation Plan, and 1987 Supplemental Stock Option Plan as a result of
termination of options or repurchase of Shares issued under such plans, and (ii) such number of Shares which have been reserved but not issued under the Dallas Semiconductor Corporation 1987 Stock Option Plan (the “Dallas 1987
Plan”) as of the date of stockholder approval of this Plan, and any Shares returned to the Dallas 1987 Plan as a result of termination of options or repurchase of Shares issued under such plan, (iii) such number of Shares which have
been reserved but not issued under the Dallas Semiconductor Corporation 1993 Officer and Director Stock Option Plan (the “Dallas 1993 Plan”) as of the date of stockholder approval of this Plan, and any Shares returned to the Dallas
1993 Plan as a result of termination of options or repurchase of Shares issued under such plan. 
 (b) Full Value
Awards. Any Shares subject to Options will be counted against the numerical limits of this Section 3 as one Share for every Share subject thereto. Any Shares subject to Awards of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units with a per share
or unit purchase price lower than one hundred percent (100%) of Fair Market Value on the date of grant will be counted against the numerical limits of this Section 3 as two Shares for every one Share subject thereto. To the extent that a
Share that was subject to an Award that counted as two Shares against the Plan reserve pursuant to the preceding sentence is recycled back into the Plan under the next paragraph of this Section 3, the Plan will be credited with two Shares.

 (c) Lapsed Awards. If an Award expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, or, with
respect to Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units, is forfeited to or repurchased by the Company, the unpurchased Shares (or for Awards other than Options, the forfeited or repurchased Shares) which were subject thereto will become available
for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless the Plan has terminated). Shares that have actually been issued under the Plan under any Award will not be returned to the Plan and will not become available for future distribution under the Plan. To
the extent an Award under the Plan is paid out in cash rather than Shares, such cash payment will not reduce the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing and, subject to adjustment provided in
Section 13, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options will equal the aggregate Share number stated in Section 3(a), plus, to the extent allowable under Section 422 of the Code, any
Shares that become available for issuance under the Plan under this Section 3(b). 
 4. Administration of the
Plan. 
 (a) Plan Administrator. 
 (i) Administration with Respect to Directors and Officers. With respect to grants of Awards to Directors or Employees who are also Officers or Directors, the Plan shall be administered by
(A) the Board or (B) a Committee designated by the Board, which Committee shall be constituted in such a manner as to satisfy the Applicable Laws and to permit such grants and related transactions under the Plan to be exempt from
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act in accordance with 

  

 5 

 
Rule 16b-3. Once appointed, such Committee shall continue to serve in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board. 
 (ii) Administration With Respect to Consultants and Other Employees. With respect to grants of Awards to Employees or Consultants
who are neither Directors nor Officers, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee designated by the Board, which Committee shall be constituted in such a manner as to satisfy the Applicable Laws. Once appointed,
such Committee shall continue to serve in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board. Subject to Applicable Laws, the Board may authorize one or more Officers to grant such Awards and may limit such authority by requiring that
such Awards must be reported to and ratified by the Board or a Committee within six (6) months of the grant date, and if so ratified, shall be effective as of the grant date. 
 (iii) Administration With Respect to Covered Employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, grants of Awards to any Covered Employee
intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation shall be made only by a Committee (or subcommittee of a Committee) which is comprised solely of two or more Directors eligible to serve on a committee making Awards qualifying as
Performance-Based Compensation. In the case of such Awards granted to Covered Employees, references to the “Administrator” or to a “Committee” shall be deemed to be references to such Committee or subcommittee. 
 (iv) Administration Errors. In the event an Award is granted in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of this
subsection (a), such Award shall be presumptively valid as of its grant date to the extent permitted by the Applicable Laws. 
 (b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to Applicable Laws and the provisions of the Plan (including any other powers given to the Administrator hereunder), and except as otherwise provided by the Board, the Administrator shall have
the authority, in its discretion: 
 (i) to select the Employees, Directors and Consultants to whom Awards may be granted
from time to time hereunder; 
 (ii) to determine whether and to what extent Awards are granted hereunder; 
 (iii) to determine the number of Shares or the amount of other consideration to be covered by each Award granted hereunder; 

(iv) to determine the Fair Market Value; 
 (v) to approve forms of Award Agreement for use under the Plan; 
 (vi) to determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted hereunder; 
 (vii) to modify or amend the terms of
any outstanding Award granted under the Plan in any lawful way, provided that any amendment that would adversely affect the Grantee’s rights under an outstanding Award shall not be made without the Grantee’s written consent; provided,
however, that any provision of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrator shall not have 

  

 6 

 
the authority to reprice any outstanding Option, it being understood that “reprice” shall mean to amend any outstanding Option to reduce the
exercise price; 
 (viii) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards granted pursuant to the Plan;

 (ix) notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in order to facilitate compliance with the tax,
securities, foreign exchange, probate or other applicable provisions of the laws in other countries in which the Company or its Affiliates operate or have key employees or non-employee directors, the Administrator, in its discretion, shall have the
power and authority to (A) determine which (if any) Employees, Directors, and/or Consultants rendering services or employed outside the U.S. are eligible to participate in the Plan or to receive any type of Award hereunder; (B) determine
which non-U.S.-based Affiliates or operations (e.g., branches, representative offices) participate in the Plan or any type of Award hereunder; (C) modify the terms and conditions of any Awards made to such Employees, Directors, and/or
Consultants, or with respect to such non-U.S.-based Affiliates or operations; and (D) establish sub-plans, modify methods of exercise, modify payment restrictions on sale or transfer of Shares and other terms and procedures to the extent deemed
necessary or desirable by the Administrator to comply with Applicable Laws of the non-U.S. jurisdiction. The Committee shall not, however, have the power or authority to amend the Plan with respect to the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may
be issued under the Plan as set forth in Section 3(a), increase the Award limits as set forth in Sections 6, 7 and 8; or lengthen the term of an Option set forth in Section 6(d); and 
 (x) to take such other action, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator deems appropriate. 
 (c) Effect of Administrator’s Decision. All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be
conclusive and binding on all persons. 
 5. Eligibility. Non-Qualified Stock Options, Restricted Stock and Restricted
Stock Units may be granted to Employees, Directors and Consultants. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. An Employee, Director or Consultant who has been granted an Award may, if otherwise eligible, be granted additional Awards.
Awards may be granted to such Employees, Directors and Consultants who are residing in foreign jurisdictions as the Administrator may determine from time to time. 
 6. Terms and Conditions of Options. 
 (a) Designation of
Option. Each Option will be designated in the Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares
subject to Options designated as Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a Grantee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such excess Options, to the extent of
the Shares covered thereby in excess of the foregoing limitation, will be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. For the purposes of this Section 6(a), Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order in which they were granted,
and the Fair Market Value of the Shares will be determined as of the date the Option with respect to such Shares is granted. 
  

 7 

 (b) Conditions of Option. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Administrator will
determine the provisions, terms and conditions of each Option including, but not limited to, the Option vesting schedule, form of payment upon exercise of the Option and satisfaction of any performance criteria. 
 (c) Individual Option Limit. The maximum number of Shares with respect to which Options may be granted to any individual in any
Fiscal Year shall be 4,000,000. The foregoing limitation shall be adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization pursuant to Section 13. To the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code or
the regulations thereunder, in applying the foregoing limitation with respect to an individual, if any Option is canceled, the canceled Option shall continue to count against the maximum number of Shares with respect to which Options may be granted
to the individual. For this purpose, the repricing of an Option shall be treated as the cancellation of the existing Option and the grant of a new Option. 
 (d) Term of Option. The Administrator will determine the term of each Option in its sole discretion, provided the term of an Option will not be more than ten (10) years from the date of grant. Moreover, in
the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Grantee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive Stock Option will be five (5) years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. 
 (e) Option Exercise Price, Consideration and Taxes. 
 (i) Exercise Price. The exercise price for an Option shall be as follows: 
 (A) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option: 
 (1) granted to an Employee
who, at the time of the grant of such Incentive Stock Option owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price will be not
less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. 
 (2) granted to any Employee other than an Employee described in the preceding paragraph, the per Share exercise price will be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. 

(B) In the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the per Share exercise price shall be not less than one hundred percent
(100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. 
 (C) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Options may
be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Section 424(a) of the Code.

  

 8 

 (ii) Consideration. Subject to Applicable Laws, the consideration to be paid for
the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be determined at the time of grant). In addition to any other types of
consideration the Administrator may determine, the Administrator is authorized to accept as consideration for Shares issued under the Plan the following: 
 (A) cash; 
 (B) check; 
 (C) surrender of Shares (including withholding of Shares otherwise deliverable upon exercise of the Option) which have a Fair Market
Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option shall be exercised (but only to the extent that such exercise of the Option would not result in an accounting compensation charge with respect
to the Shares used to pay the exercise price unless otherwise determined by the Administrator); 
 (D) delivery of a
properly executed exercise notice together with such other documentation as the Administrator and the broker, if applicable, shall require to effect an exercise of the Option and delivery to the Company of the sale proceeds required to pay the
exercise price; or 
 (E) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. 
 (f) Exercise of Option. 
 (i) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. 
 (A) Any Option granted
hereunder will be exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator under the terms of the Plan and specified in the Award Agreement. 
 (B) An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such exercise has been given to the Company or its designated agent (e.g., the exclusive, captive broker) in accordance with
the terms of the Option, from the person entitled to exercise the Option and full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised has been received by the Company or its designated agent, or the appropriate exercise/sale
transaction has been executed under Subsection 6(e)(ii)(D) above. Until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the stock certificate evidencing such
Shares, no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to Shares subject to an Option, notwithstanding the exercise of an Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such stock
certificate in uncertificated form promptly upon exercise of the Option. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the stock certificate in uncertificated form is issued, except as
provided in the Award Agreement or Section 13, below. 
 To the extent that reporting of United States taxable income
with respect to an Option exercise under Subsections 6(e)(ii)(A)-(C) above is based on the fair market value of the underlying Shares on the date of exercise, the Company shall use the Fair Market Value on the day the Option is deemed exercised
in accordance with this Section 6(f)(B), that is the closing sales price (see Section 2(u)) on the

day the written notice of exercise and full payment for the Shares (i.e., cashier’s check, money order, Shares (pursuant to Subsection 6(e)(ii)(C)
above) or readily available funds) are received by the Company or its designated agent. In the case of an exercise under Subsection 6(e)(ii)(D) above, the United States taxable income will be calculated using the actual sales price of the underlying
Shares subject to the Option. 
 (ii) Exercise of Option Following Termination of Employment, Director or Consulting
Relationship. 
 (A) An Option may not be exercised after the termination date of such Option set forth in the Award
Agreement and may be exercised following the termination of a Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant only to the extent that the Grantee was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination (but in no event
later than the expiration of the term of such option as set forth in the Award Agreement). Options shall be exercisable for a period of ninety (90) days following termination generally, and for a period of five hundred forty-seven
(547) days following termination due to death of the Grantee or three hundred sixty-five (365) days following termination due to the disability of the Grantee (or, in each case, such other period of time as is determined by the
Administrator, which such determination in the case of an Incentive Stock Option shall be made at the time of grant of the Option). Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Grantee is not vested as to his or
her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If after termination the Grantee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option will terminate, and
the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan. 
 (B) All Options shall terminate to the extent not exercised on
the last day of the period specified in paragraph (A) above or the last day of the original term of the Option, whichever occurs first. 
 (C) Any Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option to the extent not exercised within the time permitted by law for the exercise of Incentive Stock Options following the termination of a Grantee’s Continuous
Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant shall convert automatically to a Non-Qualified Stock Option and thereafter shall be exercisable as such to the extent exercisable by its terms for the period specified in the Award Agreement. 

(iii) Exercise of Option Following Termination of Employment, Director or Consulting Relationship. In the event of termination
of a Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant with the Company for any reason other than disability or death (but not in the event of an Grantee’s change of status from Employee to Consultant or from Consultant to
Employee), such Grantee may, but only within ninety (90) days after the date of such termination (but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement), exercise his or her Option to the
extent that the Grantee was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination or to such other extent as may be determined by the Administrator. If the Grantee should die within ninety (90) days after the date of such termination, the
Grantee’s estate or the person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance may exercise the Option to the extent that the Grantee was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination within five hundred
forty-seven (547) days of the Grantee’s date of death, but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such 

  

 10 

 
Option as set forth in the Award Agreement. In the event of a Grantee’s change of status from Employee to Consultant, an Employee’s Incentive Stock
Option shall convert automatically to a Non-Qualified Stock Option on the ninety-first (91st) day following such change of status. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Grantee is not vested as to his
or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. To the extent that Grantee is not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if Grantee does not exercise such Option to the
extent so entitled within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate. 
 (iv) Disability of Grantee. In the
event of termination of a Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant as a result of his or her disability, Grantee may, but only within three hundred sixty-five (365) days from the date of such termination (and in
no event later than the expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement), exercise the Option to the extent otherwise entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination; provided, however, that if such disability
is not a “disability” as such term is defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option such Incentive Stock Option shall automatically convert to a Non-Qualified Stock Option on the day three (3)
months and one day following such termination. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Grantee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will
revert to the Plan. To the extent that Grantee is not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if Grantee does not exercise such Option to the extent so entitled within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate.

 (v) Death of Grantee. In the event of the death of a Grantee, the Option may be exercised at any time within five
hundred forty-seven (547) days following the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), by the Grantee’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to
exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that the Grantee was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of death. If, at the time of death, the Grantee was not entitled to exercise his or her entire Option, the Shares
covered by the unexercisable portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan unless otherwise determined by the Administrator. If, after death, the Grantee’s estate or a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest
or inheritance does not exercise the Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. 
 7. Restricted
Stock. 
 (a) Grant of Restricted Stock. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Administrator, at
any time and from time to time, may grant Shares of Restricted Stock to Employees, Directors or Consultants in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. 
 (b) Restricted Stock Agreement. Each Award of Restricted Stock will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the
Period of Restriction, the number of Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during any Fiscal Year no Grantee will receive more than an
aggregate of 2,000,000 Shares of Restricted Stock. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, Shares of Restricted Stock will be held by the Company as escrow agent until the restrictions on such Shares have lapsed. 
  

 11 

 (c) Transferability. Except as provided in this Section 7, Shares of
Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated, or hypothecated until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction. 
 (d) Other Restrictions. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may impose such other restrictions on Shares of Restricted Stock as it may deem advisable or appropriate. 
 (e) Removal of Restrictions. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 7, Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted Stock grant made under the Plan will be released from escrow as soon as practicable after the last day of the Period of Restriction. The restrictions will lapse at a rate
determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that Shares of Restricted Stock will not vest more rapidly than one-third (1/3rd) of the
total number Shares of Restricted Stock subject to an Award each year from the date of grant (or, if applicable, the date a Grantee begins providing services to the Company or any of its Affiliates), unless the Administrator determines that the
Award is to vest upon the achievement of performance criteria, provided the period for measuring such performance will cover at least twelve (12) months. After the grant of Restricted Stock, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce
or waive any restrictions for such Restricted Stock. 
 (f) Voting Rights. During the Period of Restriction, Service
Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares, unless the Administrator determines otherwise. 
 (g) Dividends and Other Distributions. During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock will be entitled to receive all dividends and other
distributions paid with respect to such Shares, unless otherwise provided by the Administrator. If any such dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, the Shares will be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as
the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid. 
 (h) Return of Restricted Stock to Company. On
the date set forth in the Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock for which restrictions have not lapsed will revert to the Company and again will become available for grant under the Plan. 
 8. Restricted Stock Units. 
 (a) Grant. Restricted Stock Units may be granted at any time and from time to time as determined by the Administrator. Each Restricted Stock Unit grant will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify
such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine, including all terms, conditions, and restrictions related to the grant, the number of Restricted Stock Units and the form of payout, which, subject to
Section 8(d), may be left to the discretion of the Administrator. Notwithstanding the anything to the contrary in this subsection (a), during any Fiscal Year, no Grantee will receive more than an aggregate of 2,000,000 Restricted Stock Units.

 (b) Vesting Criteria and Other Terms. The Administrator will set vesting criteria in its discretion, which,
depending on the extent to which the criteria are met, will determine the number of Restricted Stock Units that will be paid out to the Grantee. The Administrator may set vesting criteria based upon the achievement of Company-wide, business unit, or
individual goals (including, but not limited to, continued employment), or any other basis determined by the Administrator in its discretion. 
  

 12 

 (c) Earning Restricted Stock Units. Upon meeting the applicable vesting criteria,
the Grantee will be entitled to receive a payout as specified in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any vesting
criteria that must be met to receive a payout. 
 (d) Form and Timing of Payment. Payment of earned Restricted Stock
Units will be made as soon as practicable after the date(s) set forth in the Award Agreement. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Restricted Stock Units in cash, Shares, or a combination thereof. Shares represented by
Restricted Stock Units that are fully paid in cash again will be available for grant under the Plan. 
 (e)
Cancellation. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all unearned Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited to the Company. 
 9. Leaves of Absence. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Awards granted hereunder will be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence. A Service Provider will not cease to be an Employee
in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the Company or (ii) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company, its Parent, or any Subsidiary. For purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no such leave may exceed
ninety (90) days, unless reemployment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract. If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of absence approved by the Company is not so guaranteed, then three (3) months following
the ninety-first (91st) day of such leave any Incentive Stock Option held by the Grantee will cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and will be treated for tax purposes as a Non-Qualified Stock Option. 
 10. Transferability of Awards. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, an Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned,
hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Grantee, only by the Grantee. If the Administrator makes an Award transferable,
such Award will contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate. 
 11. Performance
Goals. Awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units may be made subject to the attainment of performance goals relating to one or more business criteria within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and may provide for a
targeted level or levels of achievement (“Performance Goals”) including cash flow; cash position; earnings before interest and taxes; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; earnings per Share; economic
profit; economic value added; equity or stockholder’s equity; free cash flow, free cash flow per Share, market share; net income; net profit; net sales; operating earnings; operating income; profit before tax; ratio of debt to debt plus equity;
ratio of operating earnings to capital spending; return on net assets; sales growth; Share price; or total return to stockholders. The Performance Goals for a Grantee will be determined by the Administrator based on the Company’s tactical and
strategic business objectives, which may differ from Grantee to Grantee and from Award to Award. Prior to the Determination Date, the Administrator will determine whether to make any adjustments to the calculation of any Performance Goal with
respect to any Grantee for any significant or extraordinary events affecting the Company and both before and after taking into account equity based compensation charges. In all other respects, Performance Goals will be calculated in accordance with
the Company’s financial statements, generally accepted accounting principles, or under a methodology established by the Administrator prior to the issuance of an Award. 
  

 13 

 12. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. 
 (a) Legal Compliance. Shares will not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the
issuance and delivery of such Shares will comply with Applicable Laws and will be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. 
 (b) Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such
exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any Applicable Laws. 

13. Adjustments. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of Shares covered by each
outstanding Award, and the number of Shares which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Awards have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by
each such outstanding Award, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the
Common Stock, or any other similar event resulting in an increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock. Except as expressly provided herein, 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 hereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an Award. 
 14. Corporate Transactions/Changes in Control/Subsidiary Dispositions. 
 (a) The Administrator shall have the authority, exercisable either in advance of any actual or anticipated Corporate Transaction, Change in Control or Subsidiary Disposition or at the time of an actual Corporate Transaction, Change in
Control or Subsidiary Disposition and exercisable at the time of the grant of an Award under the Plan or any time while an Award remains outstanding, to provide for the full automatic vesting and exercisability of one or more outstanding unvested
Awards under the Plan and the release from restrictions on transfer and repurchase or forfeiture rights of such Awards in connection with a Corporate Transaction, Change in Control or Subsidiary Disposition, on such terms and conditions as the
Administrator may specify. The Administrator also shall have the authority to condition any such Award vesting and exercisability or release from such limitations upon the subsequent termination of the Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant
of the Grantee within a specified period following the effective date of the Change in Control or Subsidiary Disposition. The Administrator may provide that any Awards so vested or released from such limitations in connection with a Change in
Control or Subsidiary Disposition, shall remain fully exercisable until the expiration or sooner termination of the Award. Effective upon the consummation of a Corporate Transaction, all outstanding Awards under the Plan shall terminate unless
assumed by the successor company or its Parent. 
 (b) The portion of any Incentive Stock Option accelerated under this
Section 14 in connection with a Corporate Transaction, Change in Control or Subsidiary Disposition shall remain exercisable as an Incentive Stock Option under the Code only to the extent the $100,000 dollar 

  

 14 

 
limitation of Section 422(d) of the Code is not exceeded. To the extent such dollar limitation is exceeded, the accelerated excess portion of such
Option shall be exercisable as a Non-Qualified Stock Option. 
 15. Tax Withholding. 
 (a) Withholding Requirements. Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof), the Company
will have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Grantee to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local, foreign or other taxes (including the Grantee’s FICA obligation) required to be
withheld with respect to such Award (or exercise thereof). The Company will have no obligation to permit exercise of an Award or to issue any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award, unless and until either the exercise of the Award or the issuance of
Shares or cash pursuant thereto is accompanied by sufficient payment, as determined by the Company in its absolute discretion, to meet those withholding obligations on such exercise, issuance, lapse or disposition or other arrangements are made that
are satisfactory to the Company in its absolute discretion to provide otherwise for such payment. The Company will have no liability to any Grantee or transferee for exercising the foregoing right not to permit exercise or issue or deliver Shares or
cash. 
 (b) Withholding Arrangements. The Administrator, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it
may specify from time to time, may permit a Grantee to satisfy such tax withholding obligation, in whole or in part (without limitation) by (i) paying cash, (ii) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable cash or Shares
having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld, (iii) delivering to the Company already-owned Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld, or (iv) selling a sufficient number of
Shares otherwise deliverable to the Grantee through such means as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise) equal to the amount required to be withheld. The amount of the withholding requirement
will be deemed to include any amount which the Administrator agrees may be withheld at the time the election is made, not to exceed the amount determined by using the maximum federal, state or local marginal income tax rates applicable to the
Grantee with respect to the Award on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. The fair market value of the Shares to be withheld or delivered will be determined as of the date that the taxes are required to be withheld.

 16. Date of an Award. The date of grant of an Award will be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator
makes the determination to grant such Award, or such other date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the grant determination will be given to each Service Provider to whom an Award is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of
such grant. 
 17. Term of Plan. Subject to Section 20 of the Plan, the amendment and restatement of the Plan
shall become effective upon its adoption by the Board on August 11, 2005. It shall thereafter continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years, unless terminated earlier under Section 18 of the Plan. 
 18. Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan. 
 (a) The Administrator may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the Plan. To the extent required to comply with Applicable Laws, the Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan
amendment in such manner and to such a degree as required. 
  

 15 

 (b) No Award may be granted during any suspension of the Plan or after termination of the
Plan. 
 (c) Any amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall not affect Awards already granted, and such Awards
shall remain in full force and effect as if the Plan had not been amended, suspended or terminated, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Grantee and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Grantee and the
Company. 
 19. Reservation of Shares. 
 (a) The Company, during the term of the Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. 
 (b) The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the
Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares 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. 
 20. Stockholder Approval. The Plan, as amended and restated on August 11, 2005, will be subject
to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after such date. Such stockholder approval will be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws. 
 21. No Effect on Terms of Employment. The Plan shall not confer upon any Grantee any right with respect to continuation of
employment or consulting relationship with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or the Company’s right to terminate his or her employment or consulting relationship at any time, with or without cause.
