Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement and Waiver

 Exhibit 10.27 
 THIRD AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND 
 SECURITY AGREEMENT AND
WAIVER 
 This Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement and Wavier (this
“Amendment”) is entered into as of September 2, 2011, by and between COMERICA BANK (“Bank”) and GCT SEMICONDUCTOR, INC. (“Borrower”). 

RECITALS 
 Borrower and Bank are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of April 4, 2011, as it may be amended from time to time, including without limitation by that
certain First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement and Waiver dated as of June 22, 2011 and that certain Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of July 28, 2011 (collectively, the “Agreement”). The parties
desire to amend the Agreement as set forth below. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows: 

1.      Borrower violated Section 6.7(b) of the Agreement (Quarterly Profitability)
for the period ended June 30, 2011 (the “Violation”). In addition, under Section 6.3 of the Agreement, Borrower was required to notify Bank of all returns and recoveries that relate to certain sales made in December of 2010
because the aggregate amount of returns and recoveries associated with such sales exceeded $100,000 (the “Reportable Event”). Borrower has also informed Bank that the opinion of Borrower’s auditors with respect to Borrower’s
financial statements for its 2011 fiscal year will contain a going concern paragraph (the “Going Concern Paragraph”). Borrower requested that Bank (a) waive any Events of Default under the Agreement resulting from the Violation,
(b) acknowledge that Bank received notice of the Reportable Event and (c) consent to the delivery of the 2011 opinion with the Going Concern Paragraph. Bank hereby (i) waives any Event of Default which exists under the Agreement as a
result of the Violation, (ii) acknowledges that Bank received notice of the Reportable Event and (iii) consents to the delivery of the 2011 opinion with the Going Concern Paragraph. 

2.      Exhibit A of the Agreement is amended by amending and restating the definition of
“Permitted Indebtedness” to read in its entirety as follows: 
 “‘Permitted
Indebtedness’ means: 
 (a)        Indebtedness of
Borrower in favor of Bank arising under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; 

(b)        Indebtedness existing on the Closing Date and
disclosed in the Schedule; 
 (c)        Indebtedness not to exceed One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate in any fiscal year of Borrower secured by a lien described in clause (c) of the defined term “Permitted Liens,” provided such Indebtedness does not exceed the lesser of the cost or fair market value
of the equipment financed with such Indebtedness; 

(d)        Subordinated Debt; 

(e)        the Existing Notes; 

(f)        Indebtedness to trade creditors incurred in the
ordinary course of business; and 
 (g)        Extensions, refinancings and renewals of
any items of Permitted Indebtedness, provided that the principal amount is not increased or the terms modified to impose more burdensome terms upon Borrower or its Subsidiary, as the case may be.” 

3.      Section 7.12 of the Agreement is amended and restated to read in its entirety
as follows: 

 “7.12      Payments of
Existing Notes. Make any payments owing under Existing Notes; provided, however, Borrower may make payments under Existing Notes in the amounts set forth on Section 7.12 so long as (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, or would exist after giving effect to any such payments, (b) Borrower is in compliance, on a pro forma basis, with the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.7 and (c) both before and after giving effect to any such
payments, the amount of Borrower’s Cash at Bank is not less than the then outstanding aggregate Advances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Bank acknowledges and agrees that any Existing Note may be converted into equity
securities of Borrower at any time.” 
 4.      Schedule 7.12 of the
Agreement is deleted and replaced with Schedule 7.12 attached hereto. 

5.      Borrower has previously advised the Bank of its intention to incur the debt
described on Schedule 1 attached hereto (the “Existing Subordinated Debt”). On or prior to the date of Borrower’s incurrence of the Existing Subordinated Debt, the Bank consented and agreed to permit the Existing Subordinated Debt as
“Subordinated Debt” and “Permitted Indebtedness” pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. This Amendment confirms and memorializes that on or prior to the incurrence of the Existing Subordinated Debt, the Bank consented and agreed
to permit the Existing Subordinated Debt as “Subordinated Debt” and “Permitted Indebtedness” pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, and the Borrower and the Bank are hereby confirming the identification of the Existing
Subordinated Debt as “Subordinated Debt” permitted under the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. 
 6.      Borrower waives, discharges, and forever releases Bank, Bank’s employees, officers, directors, attorneys, stockholders, and their successors and assigns, from
and of any and all claims, causes of action, allegations or assertions that Borrower has or may have had at any time up through and including the date of this Amendment, against any or all of the foregoing, regardless of whether any such claims,
causes of action, allegations or assertions are known to Borrower or whether any such claims, causes of action, allegations or assertions arose as result of Bank’s actions or omissions in connection with the Agreement, the Loan Documents, or
any amendments, extensions or modifications thereto, or Bank’s administration of the Obligations or otherwise. 
 7.      No course of dealing on the part of Bank or its officers, nor any failure or delay in the exercise of any right by Bank, shall operate as a waiver thereof, and any
single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude any later exercise of any such right. Bank’s failure at any time to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision shall not affect any right of Bank thereafter to demand
strict compliance and performance. Any suspension or waiver of a right must be in writing signed by an officer of Bank. 
 8.      Unless otherwise defined, all initially capitalized terms in this Amendment shall be as defined in the Agreement. The Agreement, as amended hereby, shall be and
remain in full force and effect in accordance with its respective terms and hereby is ratified and confirmed in all respects. Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall not operate as a
waiver of, or as an amendment of, any right, power, or remedy of Bank under the Agreement, as in effect prior to the date hereof. 
 9.      Borrower represents and warrants that the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as of the date of
this Amendment except to the extent such representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date, and that except as set forth herein, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

10.    As a condition to the effectiveness of this Amendment, Bank shall have received, in form and
substance satisfactory to Bank, the following: 
  

	 	(a)	 this Amendment, duly executed by Borrower; 

  

	 	(b)	 an Affirmation of Subordination Agreement, duly executed by United Microelectronics Corporation; 

 

	 	(c)	 a Certificate of the Secretary of Borrower with respect to incumbency and resolutions authorizing the execution and delivery of this Amendment;

  
 2 

	 	(d)	 all reasonable Bank Expenses incurred through the date of this Amendment, which may be debited from any of Borrower’s accounts; and

  

	 	(e)	 such other documents, and completion of such other matters, as Bank may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate. 

11.    This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

 4AMENDED AND RESTATED 2011 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

 Exhibit 10.41 
 GCT SEMICONDUCTOR, INC. 
 2011 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

 (Amended and Restated as of November 11, 2011) 

ARTICLE ONE 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
  

	 	I.	 PURPOSE OF THE PLAN 

 This Amended and Restated 2011 Incentive Compensation Plan is intended to promote the interests of GCT Semiconductor, Inc., a Delaware corporation, by providing eligible persons in the Corporation’s
service with the opportunity to participate in one or more cash or equity incentive compensation programs designed to encourage them to continue their service relationship with the Corporation. 

The Plan shall serve as the successor to the Predecessor Plans, and no further stock option grants or other stock-based
awards shall be made under the Predecessor Plans on or after the Plan Effective Date. All option grants outstanding under the Predecessor Plans on the Plan Effective Date shall be transferred to the Plan at that time and shall be treated as
outstanding options under the Plan. However, each outstanding option so transferred shall continue to be governed solely by the terms of the documents evidencing such option, and no provision of the Plan shall be deemed to affect or otherwise modify
the rights or obligations of the holders of such transferred options with respect to their acquisition of shares of Common Stock thereunder. 
 Capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the attached Appendix. 
  

	 	II.	 STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN 

 A. The Plan shall be divided into a series of separate incentive compensation programs: 
 - the Option/SAR Grant Program under which eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be granted options to purchase shares of Common Stock or stock appreciation rights tied to the
value of such Common Stock, 
 - the Stock Issuance Program under which eligible persons may,
at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be issued shares of Common Stock pursuant to restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance shares or other stock-based awards which vest upon the completion of a designated service period
or the attainment of pre-established performance milestones, or such shares of Common Stock may be issued through direct purchase or as a bonus for services rendered the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary), 

 - the Incentive Bonus Program under which eligible persons
may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be provided with incentive bonus opportunities through performance unit awards and special cash incentive programs tied to the attainment of pre-established performance milestones, and 

- the Automatic Grant Program under which eligible non-employee Board members will automatically receive
equity-based awards at designated intervals over their period of continued Board service. 
 B. The provisions
of Articles One and Six shall apply to all incentive compensation programs under the Plan and shall govern the interests of all persons under the Plan. 
  

	 	III.	 ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN 

 A. The Compensation Committee (whether acting directly or through a subcommittee of two or more members thereof) shall have sole and exclusive authority to administer the Discretionary Grant, Stock
Issuance and Incentive Bonus Programs with respect to Section 16 Insiders. Administration of the Discretionary Grant, Stock Issuance and Incentive Bonus Programs with respect to all other persons eligible to participate in those programs may,
at the Board’s discretion, be vested in the Compensation Committee or a Secondary Board Committee, or the Board may retain the power to administer those programs with respect to such persons. All Awards to non-employee Board members (other than
pursuant to the Automatic Grant Program) shall be made by the Compensation Committee (or subcommittee thereof) which shall at the time of any such Award be comprised solely of two or more independent Board members, as determined in accordance with
the independence standards established by the Stock Exchange on which the Common Stock is at the time primarily traded. 
 B. Members of the Compensation Committee or any Secondary Board Committee shall serve for such period of time as the Board may determine and may be removed by the Board at any time. The Board may also at
any time terminate the functions of any Secondary Board Committee and reassume all powers and authority previously delegated to such committee. 
 C. Each Plan Administrator shall, within the scope of its administrative functions under the Plan, have full power and authority (subject to the provisions of the Plan) to establish such rules and
regulations as it may deem appropriate for proper administration of the Discretionary Grant, Stock Issuance and Incentive Bonus Programs and to make such determinations under, and issue such interpretations of, the provisions of those programs and
any outstanding Awards thereunder as it may deem necessary or advisable. Decisions of the Plan Administrator within the scope of its administrative functions under the Plan shall be final and binding on all parties who have an interest in the
Discretionary Grant, Stock Issuance and Incentive Bonus Programs under its jurisdiction or any Award thereunder. 

  
 2 

 D. Administration of the Automatic Grant Program shall be self-executing in
accordance with the terms of that program, and no Plan Administrator shall exercise any discretionary functions with respect to any Awards made under that program, except that the Compensation Committee (or subcommittee thereof) shall have the
express authority to establish from time to time the applicable dollar amount to serve as the grant-date fair value of the initial and annual Awards to be made to the non-employee Board members in accordance with the maximum dollar values
established for those Awards under Article Five. 
 E. Service as a Plan Administrator by the members of the
Compensation Committee or the Secondary Board Committee shall constitute service as Board members, and the members of each such committee shall accordingly be entitled to full indemnification and reimbursement as Board members for their service on
such committee. No member of the Compensation Committee or the Secondary Board Committee shall be liable for any act or omission made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award thereunder. 

 

	 	IV.	 ELIGIBILITY 

 A. The persons eligible to participate in the Plan are as follows: 
 (i) Employees, 
 (ii)
non-employee members of the Board or the board of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary, and 
 (iii) consultants and other independent advisors who provide services to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary). 

B. The Plan Administrator shall have full authority to determine, (i) with respect to Awards made under the
Option/SAR Grant Program, which eligible persons are to receive such Awards, the time or times when those Awards are to be made, the number of shares to be covered by each such Award, the time or times when the Award is to become exercisable, the
vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the Award, the maximum term for which such Award is to remain outstanding and the status of a granted option as either an Incentive Option or a Non-Statutory Option; (ii) with respect to Awards under the
Stock Issuance Program, which eligible persons are to receive such Awards, the time or times when the Awards are to be made, the number of shares subject to each such Award, the vesting and issuance schedules applicable to the shares which are the
subject of such Award, the cash consideration (if any) payable for those shares and the form (cash or shares of Common Stock) in which the Award is to be settled; and (iii) with respect to Awards under the Incentive Bonus Program, which
eligible persons are to receive such Awards, the time or times when the Awards are to be made, the performance objectives for each such Award, the amounts payable at designated levels of attained performance, any applicable service vesting
requirements, the payout schedule for each such Award and the form (cash or shares of Common Stock) in which the Award is to be settled. 
 C. The individuals who shall be eligible to participate in the Automatic Grant Program shall be limited to (i) those individuals who first become non-employee Board members on or after the Plan
Effective Date, whether through appointment by the Board or election by the Corporation’s stockholders and (ii) those individuals who continue to serve as non-employee 

  
 3 

 
Board members on or after the Plan Effective Date. A non-employee Board member who has previously been in the employ of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary) shall not be eligible to
receive a grant under the Automatic Grant Program at the time he or she first becomes a non-employee Board member, but shall be eligible to receive periodic grants under the Automatic Grant Program while he or she continues to serve as a
non-employee Board member. 
  

	 	V.	 STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN 

 A. The stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock initially reserved for issuance over the term of the Plan
shall be limited to 56,500,000 shares, subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to the provisions of Section V.G of this Article One. Such share reserve shall consist of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock estimated to be available
for issuance, as of the Plan Effective Date, under the Predecessor Plans as last approved by the Corporation’s stockholders, including the shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options under the Predecessor Plans that are transferred to
the Plan in accordance with the provisions of Section IV.B of Article Six, plus (ii) an additional increase of approximately 2,390,000 shares to be approved by the Corporation’s stockholders prior to the date the underwriting agreement for
the initial public offering of the Common Stock is executed. 
 B. The number of shares of Common Stock
available for issuance under the Plan shall automatically increase on the first trading day in July each calendar year during the term of the Plan, beginning with the 2012 calendar year, by an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the total
number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding on the last trading day in the immediately preceding calendar month, but in no event shall any such annual increase exceed 12,500,000 shares. 

C. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan pursuant to Incentive Options shall
not exceed 56,500,000 shares in the aggregate, subject to adjustment from time to time under Section V.G of this Article One. Such share limitation shall automatically be increased on the first trading day in July each calendar year, beginning with
the 2012 calendar year, by the number of shares of Common Stock added to the share reserve on that day pursuant to the provisions of Section V.B of this Article One. 

D. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock for which Awards denominated in shares of Common Stock (whether payable
in Common Stock, cash or a combination of both) may be made to any individual Participant in any fiscal year of the Corporation shall not exceed in the aggregate 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock. 

E. Shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding Awards under the Plan (including options transferred to the Plan from
the Predecessor Plans pursuant to Section IV.B of Article Six) shall be available for subsequent award and issuance under the Plan to the extent those Awards expire, are forfeited or cancelled or terminate for any reason prior to the issuance of the
shares of Common Stock subject to those Awards. Unvested shares issued under the Plan and subsequently forfeited or repurchased by the Corporation, at a price per share not greater than the original issue price paid per share, pursuant to the
Corporation’s repurchase rights under 

  
 4 

 
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 subsequent reissuance. 

F. Should the exercise price of an option under the Plan be paid with shares of Common Stock (whether through the
withholding of a portion of the otherwise issuable shares or through the tender of actual outstanding shares), then the authorized reserve of Common Stock under the Plan shall be reduced by the gross number of shares for which that option is
exercised, and not by the net number of shares issued under the exercised stock option. Upon the exercise of any stock appreciation right under the Plan, the share reserve shall be reduced by the gross number of shares as to which such right is
exercised, and not by the net number of shares actually issued by the Corporation upon such exercise. If shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable under the Plan are withheld by the Corporation in satisfaction of the withholding taxes incurred in
connection with the issuance, vesting or settlement of an Award, then the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced on the basis of the gross number of shares issued, vested or settled under such Award,
calculated in each instance prior to any such share withholding. 
 G. Should any change be made to the Common
Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares, spin-off transaction or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of
consideration, or should the value of outstanding shares of Common Stock be substantially reduced as a result of a spin-off transaction or an extraordinary dividend or distribution, or should there occur any merger, consolidation or other
reorganization (including, without limitation, a Change in Control transaction), then equitable adjustments shall be made by the Plan Administrator to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the Plan, (ii) the
maximum number and class of securities by which the share reserve is to increase automatically each calendar year pursuant to the provisions of Section V.B of this Article One, (iii) the maximum number and/or class of securities that may be
issued under the Plan pursuant to Incentive Options and the maximum number and/or class of securities by which that limitation will automatically increase each calendar year, (iv) the maximum number and/or class of securities for which any one
person may be granted Awards denominated in shares of Common Stock per fiscal year, (v) the number and/or class of securities and the exercise or base price per share in effect under each outstanding Award under the Discretionary Grant Program,
including outstanding options transferred to the Plan from the Predecessor Plans, (vi) the number and/or class of securities subject to each outstanding Award under the Stock Issuance Program and the cash consideration (if any) payable per
share, (vii) the number and/or class of securities subject to each outstanding Award under the Automatic Grant Program and any exercise or base price per share in effect for such Award, (viii) the number and/or class of securities subject
to each outstanding Award under the Incentive Bonus Program denominated in shares of Common Stock and (ix) the number and/or class of securities subject to the Corporation’s outstanding repurchase rights under the Plan and the repurchase
price payable per share. The adjustments shall be made in such manner as the Plan Administrator deems appropriate and such adjustments shall be final, binding and conclusive. 

  
 5 

 H. Outstanding Awards granted pursuant to 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. 

  
 6 

 ARTICLE TWO 
 OPTION/SAR GRANT PROGRAM 
  

	 	I.	 OPTION TERMS 

 Each option shall be evidenced by one or more documents in the form approved by the Plan Administrator; provided, however, that each such document shall comply with the terms specified below. Each
document evidencing an Incentive Option shall, in addition, be subject to the provisions of the Plan applicable to such options. 
 A. Exercise Price. 
 1. The exercise price per
share shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator at the time of the Award; provided, however, that such exercise price shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the grant
date. 
 2. The exercise price shall become immediately due upon exercise of the option and shall, subject to
the provisions of the documents evidencing the option, be payable in one or more of the forms specified below: 
 (i) cash or check made payable to the Corporation, 
 (ii) shares of Common Stock (whether delivered in the form of actual stock certificates or through attestation of ownership) held for the requisite period (if any) necessary to avoid any resulting charge
to the Corporation’s earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date, 
 (iii) shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable under the option but withheld by the Corporation in satisfaction of the exercise price, with such withheld shares to be valued at Fair Market Value on the
exercise date, and 
 (iv) to the extent the option is exercised for vested
shares following the initial public offering of the Common Stock, through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Optionee shall concurrently provide instructions to (a) a brokerage firm (reasonably satisfactory to the
Corporation for purposes of administering such procedure in compliance with the Corporation’s pre-clearance/pre-notification policies) to effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds
available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation by reason of such exercise and
(b) the Corporation to deliver the certificates for the 

  
 7 

 
purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm on such settlement date in order to complete the sale. 
 Except to the extent such sale and remittance procedure is utilized, payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made on the Exercise Date. 

B. Exercise and Term of Options.  

1. 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 evidencing the option. However, no option shall have a term in excess of ten (10) years measured from the option grant date. 

2. The Plan Administrator shall also have the discretionary authority to structure one or more Awards under the
Option/SAR Grant Program so that those Awards shall vest and become exercisable only after the achievement of pre-established corporate performance objectives based on one or more Performance Goals and measured over the performance period specified
by the Plan Administrator at the time of the Award. 
 C. Effect of Termination of Service.

 1. The following provisions shall govern the exercise of any options granted pursuant to the Option/SAR
Grant Program that are outstanding at the time of the Optionee’s cessation of Service or death: 
 (i) Any option outstanding at the time of the Optionee’s cessation of Service for any reason shall remain exercisable for such period of time thereafter as shall be determined by the Plan
Administrator and set forth in the documents evidencing the option, but no such option shall be exercisable after the expiration of the option term. 

(ii) Any option held by the Optionee at the time of the Optionee’s death and
exercisable in whole or in part at that time may be subsequently exercised by the personal representative of the Optionee’s estate or by the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee’s will or the laws of
inheritance or by the Optionee’s designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of that option. 
 (iii) Should the Optionee’s Service be terminated for Cause or should the Optionee otherwise engage in conduct constituting grounds for a termination for Cause while holding one or more outstanding
options granted under the Option/SAR Grant Program, then all of those options shall terminate immediately and cease to be outstanding. 

(iv) During the applicable post-Service exercise period, the option may not be exercised
in the aggregate for more than the number of vested shares for which the option is at the time exercisable; provided, however, that one or more options under the Option/SAR Grant Program may be structured

  
 8 

 
so that those options will continue to vest in whole or part during the applicable post-Service exercise period. Upon the expiration of the applicable exercise period or (if earlier) upon the
expiration of the option term, the option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any shares for which the option has not been exercised. 
 2. The Plan Administrator shall have complete discretion, exercisable either at the time an option is granted or at any time while the option remains outstanding, to: 

(i) extend the period of time for which the option is to remain exercisable following
the Optionee’s cessation of Service from the limited exercise 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,

 (ii) include an automatic extension provision whereby the specified
post-Service exercise period in effect for any option granted under the Option/SAR Grant Program shall automatically be extended by an additional period of time equal in duration to any interval within the specified post-Service exercise period
during which the exercise of that option or the immediate sale of the shares acquired under such option could not be effected in compliance with the applicable registration requirements of federal and state securities laws, but in no event shall
such an extension result in the continuation of such option beyond the expiration date of the term of that option, and/or 
 (iii) permit the option to be exercised, during the applicable post-Service exercise period, not only with respect to the number of vested shares of Common Stock for which such option is exercisable at
the time of the Optionee’s cessation of Service but also with respect to one or more additional installments in which the Optionee would have vested had the Optionee continued in Service. 

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

E. Repurchase Rights.    The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion to grant
options which are exercisable for unvested shares of Common Stock. Should the Optionee cease Service while such shares are unvested, the Corporation shall have the right to repurchase any or all of those unvested shares at a price per share equal to
the lower of (i) the exercise price paid per share or (ii) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock at the time of repurchase. 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. 

  
 9 

 F. Transferability of Options.    The
transferability of options granted under the Plan shall be governed by the following provisions: 
 (i)
Incentive Options:    During the lifetime of the Optionee, Incentive Options shall be exercisable only by the Optionee and shall not be assignable or transferable other than by will or the laws of inheritance
following the Optionee’s death. 
 (ii) Non-Statutory
Options.    Non-Statutory Options shall be subject to the same limitation on transfer as Incentive Options, except that the Plan Administrator may structure one or more Non-Statutory Options so that the option may be
transferred gratuitously in whole or in part during the Optionee’s lifetime to one or more Family Members of the Optionee or to a trust established exclusively for the Optionee and/or such Family Members or may be transferred to one or more
Family Member pursuant to a domestic relations order. The transferred portion may only be exercised by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the option pursuant to the transfer. The terms applicable to the transferred portion
shall be the same as those in effect for the option immediately prior to such transfer. 
 (iii)
Beneficiary Designations.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionee may designate one or more persons as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of his or her outstanding options under the Discretionary Grant Program
(whether Incentive Options or Non-Statutory Options), and those options shall, in accordance with such designation, automatically be transferred to such beneficiary or beneficiaries upon the Optionee’s death while holding those options. Such
beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the transferred options subject to all the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement evidencing each such transferred option, including (without limitation) the limited time period during which the
option may be exercised following the Optionee’s death. 
  

	 	II.	 INCENTIVE OPTIONS 

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

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

B. Dollar Limitation.    The aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock
(determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) for which one or more options granted to any Employee under the Plan (or any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) may for the first time become exercisable as
Incentive Options during any one 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, then for purposes of the foregoing limitations on the
exercisability of those options as Incentive Options, such options shall be deemed to become first exercisable in that calendar year on the basis of the chronological order in which they were granted, except to the extent otherwise provided under
applicable law or regulation. 

  
 10 

 C. 10% Stockholder.    If any Employee to
whom an Incentive Option is granted is a 10% Stockholder, then the exercise price per share shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the grant date, and the option term shall
not exceed five (5) years measured from the grant date. 
  

	 	III.	 STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 

 A. Authority.    The Plan Administrator shall have full power and authority, exercisable in its sole discretion, to grant stock appreciation rights in accordance with
this Section III to selected Optionees or other individuals eligible to receive Awards under the Option/SAR Grant Program. 
 B. Types.    Two types of stock appreciation rights shall be authorized for issuance under this Section III: (i) tandem stock appreciation rights (“Tandem
Rights”) and (ii) stand-alone stock appreciation rights (“Stand-alone Rights”). 
 C.
Tandem Rights.    The following terms and conditions shall govern the grant and exercise of Tandem Rights. 
 1. One or more Optionees may be granted a Tandem Right, exercisable upon such terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator may establish, to elect between the exercise of the underlying option for
shares of Common Stock or the surrender of that option in exchange for a distribution from the Corporation in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value (on the option surrender date) of the number of shares in which the
Optionee is at the time vested under the surrendered option (or surrendered portion thereof) over (ii) the aggregate exercise price payable for such vested shares. 

2. Any distribution to which the Optionee becomes entitled upon the exercise of a Tandem Right may be made in
(i) shares of Common Stock valued at Fair Market Value on the option surrender date, (ii) cash or (iii) a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as specified in the applicable Award agreement. 

D. Stand-Alone Rights.    The following terms and conditions shall govern the grant
and exercise of Stand-alone Rights: 
 1. One or more individuals eligible to participate in the Option/SAR
Grant Program may be granted a Stand-alone Right not tied to any underlying option. The Stand-alone Right shall relate to a specified number of shares of Common Stock and shall be exercisable upon such terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator
may establish. In no event, however, may the Stand-alone Right have a maximum term in excess of ten (10) years measured from the grant date. 
 2. Upon exercise of the Stand-alone Right, the holder shall be entitled to receive a distribution from the Corporation in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the aggregate Fair Market Value (on the
exercise date) of the shares of Common Stock underlying the exercised right over (ii) the aggregate base price in effect for those shares. 

  
 11 

 3. The number of shares of Common Stock underlying each Stand-alone Right
and the base price in effect for those shares shall be determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion at the time the Stand-alone Right is granted. In no event, however, may the base price per share be less than the Fair Market Value
per underlying share of Common Stock on the grant date. 
 4. Stand-alone Rights shall be subject to the same
transferability restrictions applicable to Non-Statutory Options and may not be transferred during the holder’s lifetime, except for a gratuitous transfer to one or more Family Members of the holder or to a trust established for the holder
and/or one or more such Family Members or a transfer to one or more such Family Members pursuant to a domestic relations order covering the Stand-alone Right as marital property. In addition, one or more beneficiaries may be designated for an
outstanding Stand-alone Right in accordance with substantially the same terms and provisions as set forth in Section I.F of this Article Two. 
 5. The distribution with respect to an exercised Stand-alone Right may be made in (i) shares of Common Stock valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise date, (ii) cash or (iii) a
combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as specified in the applicable Award agreement. 
 6. The
holder of a Stand-alone Right shall have no stockholder rights with respect to the shares subject to the Stand-alone Right unless and until such person shall have exercised the Stand-alone Right and become a holder of record of the shares of Common
Stock issued upon the exercise of such Stand-alone Right. 
 E. Post-Service
Exercise.    The provisions governing the exercise of Tandem and Stand-alone Rights following the cessation of the recipient’s Service shall be substantially the same as those set forth in Section I.C.1 of this
Article Two for the options granted under the Option/SAR Grant Program, and the Plan Administrator’s discretionary authority under Section I.C.2 of this Article Two shall also extend to any outstanding Tandem or Stand-alone Appreciation Rights.

  

	 	IV.	 CHANGE IN CONTROL 

 A. In the event of an actual Change in Control transaction, each outstanding Award under the Option/SAR Grant Program may be (i) assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise
continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction or (ii) replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread existing at the time of the Change in Control
on any shares as to which the Award is not otherwise at that time exercisable and provides for the subsequent vesting and concurrent payment of that spread in accordance with the same exercise/vesting schedule in effect for that Award, but only if
such replacement cash program would not result in the treatment of the Award as an item of deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A. However, to the extent the Award is not to be so assumed, continued or replaced, that Award shall
immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control transaction, become exercisable as to all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to that Award and may be exercised as to any or all of those shares as fully vested shares of
Common 

  
 12 

 
Stock, unless the acceleration of such Award is subject to other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Award outstanding under the Discretionary Grant
Program on the date of such Change in Control shall be subject to cancellation and termination, without cash payment or other consideration due the Award holder, if the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on such date of the Change in
Control (or any earlier date specified in the definitive agreement for the Change in Control transaction) is less than the per share exercise or base price in effect for such Award. 

B. All repurchase rights outstanding under the Option/SAR Grant Program shall automatically terminate, and the shares of
Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall vest in full, immediately prior to the effective date of an actual Change in Control transaction, except to the extent: (i) those repurchase rights are to be assigned to the successor
corporation (or parent thereof) or are otherwise to continue in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction or (ii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed by the Plan
Administrator. 
 C. Immediately following the consummation of the Change in Control, all outstanding Awards
under the Option/SAR Grant Program shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in
Control transaction. 
 D. Each Award under the Option/SAR Grant Program that is assumed in connection with a
Change in Control or otherwise continued in effect shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Change in Control, to apply to the number and class of securities into which the shares of Common Stock subject to that Award would have been
converted in consummation of such Change in Control had those shares actually been outstanding at that time. Appropriate adjustments to reflect such Change in Control shall also be made to the exercise or base price per share in effect under each
outstanding Award, provided the aggregate exercise or base price in effect for such securities shall remain the same. To the extent the actual holders of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their
Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control, the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption or continuation of the outstanding Awards under the Option/SAR Grant Program and with the consent of the Plan Administrator
obtained prior to the Change in Control, substitute, for the securities underlying those assumed rights, one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such
Change in Control transaction, provided such common stock is readily traded on an established U.S. securities exchange or market. 
 E. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more outstanding Awards under the Option/SAR Grant Program so that those Awards shall, immediately prior to the
effective date of an actual Change in Control transaction, become exercisable as to all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to those Awards and may be exercised as to any or all of those shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock,
whether or not those Awards are to be assumed in the Change in Control transaction or otherwise continued in effect. In addition, the Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more of the Corporation’s
repurchase rights under the Option/SAR Grant Program so that 

  
 13 

 
those rights shall terminate immediately prior to the effective date of an actual Change in Control transaction, and the shares subject to those terminated rights shall thereupon vest in full.

 F. The Plan Administrator shall have full power and authority to structure one or more outstanding Awards
under the Option/SAR Grant Program so that those Awards shall become exercisable as to all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to those Awards in the event the Optionee’s Service is subsequently terminated by reason of an Involuntary
Termination within a designated period (not to exceed twenty-four (24) months) following the effective date of any Change in Control transaction in which those Awards do not otherwise fully accelerate. In addition, the Plan Administrator may
structure one or more of the Corporation’s repurchase rights so that those rights shall immediately terminate with respect to any shares held by the Optionee at the time of such Involuntary Termination, and the shares subject to those
terminated repurchase rights shall accordingly vest in full at that time. 
 G. The portion of any Incentive
Option accelerated in connection with a Change in Control shall remain exercisable as an Incentive Option only to the extent the applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation is not exceeded. To the extent such dollar limitation is
exceeded, the accelerated portion of such option shall be exercisable as a Non-statutory Option under the Federal tax laws. 
  

	 	V.	 REPRICING PROGRAMS 

 The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority, exercisable on such terms and conditions that it deems appropriate under the circumstances, to (i) implement cancellation/regrant
programs pursuant to which outstanding options or stock appreciation rights under the Plan are cancelled and new options or stock appreciation rights are granted in replacement with a lower exercise or base price per share, (ii) cancel
outstanding options or stock appreciation rights under the Plan with exercise or base prices per share in excess of the then current Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock for consideration payable in cash or in equity securities of the
Corporation or (iii) reduce the exercise or base price in effect for outstanding options or stock appreciation rights under the Plan. 

  
 14 

 ARTICLE THREE 
 STOCK ISSUANCE PROGRAM 
  

	 	I.	 STOCK ISSUANCE TERMS 

 Shares of Common Stock may be issued in accordance with the terms of the Stock Issuance Program. Each such stock issuance shall be evidenced by a Stock Issuance Agreement which complies with the terms
specified below. 
 A. Issue Price. 

1. Shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program for any of the following items of consideration
which the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate in each individual instance: 

(i) cash or check made payable to the Corporation, 

(ii) past services rendered to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary); or

 (iii) any other valid consideration under the State in which the Corporation
is at the time incorporated. 
 However, if the consideration for the shares is to be paid in the form of a
cash purchase price, then the cash consideration payable per share shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the issuance date. 

B. Vesting Provisions. 

1. Shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program may, in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be
fully and immediately vested upon issuance as a bonus for Service rendered or may vest in one or more installments over the Participant’s period of Service or upon the attainment of specified performance objectives tied to one or more
Performance Goals. The elements of the vesting schedule applicable to any unvested shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and incorporated into the Stock Issuance Agreement.
Shares of Common Stock may also be issued under the Stock Issuance Program pursuant to performance shares, restricted stock units or other stock-based Awards which entitle the recipients to receive the shares underlying those Awards upon the
attainment of designated performance objectives tied to one or more Performance Goals or the satisfaction of specified Service requirements or upon the expiration of a designated time period following the vesting of those Awards, including (without
limitation) a deferred distribution date following the termination of the Participant’s Service. 

  
 15 

 2. Any new, substituted or additional securities or other property
(including money paid other than as a regular cash dividend) which the Participant may have the right to receive with respect to the Participant’s unvested shares of Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization,
combination of shares, exchange of shares, spin-off transaction, extraordinary dividend or distribution 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. Equitable adjustments to reflect each such
transaction shall also be made by the Plan Administrator to the repurchase price payable per share by the Corporation for any unvested securities subject to its existing repurchase rights under the Plan; provided the aggregate repurchase price shall
in each instance remain the same. 
 3. The Participant shall have full stockholder rights with respect to any
shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant under the Stock Issuance Program, whether or not the Participant’s interest in those shares is vested. Accordingly, the Participant shall have the right to vote such shares and to receive any
dividends paid on such shares, subject to any applicable vesting requirements. The Participant shall not have any stockholder rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to a performance share or restricted stock unit Award until that
Award vests and the shares of Common Stock are actually issued thereunder. However, dividend-equivalent units may be paid or credited, either in cash or in actual or phantom shares of Common Stock, on outstanding Awards of performance shares,
restricted stock units or other stock-based Awards under the Stock Issuance Program, subject to such terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate. 

4. Should the Participant cease to remain in Service while holding one or more unvested shares of Common Stock issued
under the Stock Issuance Program or should the performance objectives not be attained with respect to one or more such unvested shares of Common Stock, then those shares shall be immediately surrendered to the Corporation for cancellation, and the
Participant shall have no further stockholder rights with respect to those shares. To the extent the surrendered shares were previously issued to the Participant for consideration paid in cash or cash equivalent, the Corporation shall repay to the
Participant the lower of (i) the cash consideration paid for the surrendered shares or (ii) the Fair Market Value of those shares at the time of cancellation. 

5. The Plan Administrator may in its discretion waive the surrender and cancellation of one or more unvested shares of
Common Stock which would otherwise occur upon the cessation of the Participant’s Service or the non-attainment of the performance objectives applicable to those shares. Any 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. 
 6. Outstanding
Awards of performance shares, restricted stock units or other stock-based Awards under the Stock Issuance Program shall automatically terminate, and no shares of Common Stock shall actually be issued in satisfaction of those Awards, if the
performance objectives or Service requirements established for those Awards are not attained or satisfied. The Plan Administrator, however, shall have the discretionary authority to waive such vesting requirements and issue vested shares of Common
Stock under one or more outstanding 

  
 16 

 
Awards of performance shares, restricted stock units or other stock-based Awards as to which the designated performance objectives or Service requirements have not been attained or satisfied.

 7. The following additional requirements shall be in effect for any performance shares awarded under this
Article Three: 
 (i) At the end of the performance period, the Plan
Administrator shall determine the actual level of attainment for each performance objective and the extent to which the performance shares awarded for that period are to vest and become payable based on the attained performance levels. 

(ii) The performance shares which so vest shall be paid as soon as practicable following
the end of the performance period, unless such payment is to be deferred for the period specified by the Plan Administrator at the time the performance shares are awarded or the period selected by the Participant in accordance with the applicable
requirements of Code Section 409A. 
 (iii) Performance shares may be paid
in (i) cash, (ii) shares of Common Stock or (iii) any combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. 

(iv) Performance shares may also be structured so that the shares are convertible into
shares of Common Stock, but the rate at which each performance share is to so convert shall be based on the attained level of performance for each applicable performance objective. 

 

	 	II.	 CHANGE IN CONTROL 

 A. Each Award outstanding under the Stock Issuance Program on the effective date of an actual Change in Control transaction may be (i) assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or
otherwise continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction or (ii) replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the Fair Market Value of the underlying shares
of Common Stock at the time of the Change in Control and provides for the subsequent vesting and payment of that value in accordance with the same vesting schedule in effect for those shares at the time of such Change in Control. If any such Award
is subject to a performance-vesting condition tied to the attainment of one or more specified performance objectives, then the Plan Administrator shall have the authority, in connection with the assumption, continuation or replacement of such Award
that is to occur upon the Change in Control, to cancel the performance-vesting condition and convert the Award into a Service-vesting Award that will vest solely in accordance with the pre-existing Service-vesting component of that Award. However,
to the extent any Award outstanding under the Stock Issuance Program on the effective date of such Change in Control Transaction is not to be so assumed, continued or replaced, that Award shall vest in full immediately prior to the effective date of
the actual 

  
 17 

 
Change in Control transaction and the shares of Common Stock underlying the portion of the Award that vests on such accelerated basis shall be issued in accordance with the applicable Award
Agreement, unless such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed in the Stock Issuance Agreement. 
 B. Each outstanding Award under the Stock Issuance Program which is assumed in connection with a Change in Control or otherwise continued in effect shall be adjusted immediately after the consummation of
that Change in Control so as to apply to the number and class of securities into which the shares of Common Stock subject to that Award immediately prior to the Change in Control would have been converted in consummation of such Change in Control
had those shares actually been outstanding at that time, and appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the cash consideration (if any) payable per share thereunder, provided the aggregate amount of such cash consideration shall remain the same.
To the extent the actual holders of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control, the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption or
continuation of the outstanding Awards and with the consent of the Plan Administrator obtained prior to the Change in Control, substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid
per share of Common Stock in such Change in Control transaction, provided such common stock is readily traded on an established U.S. securities exchange or market. 

C. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more unvested Awards under the
Stock Issuance Program so that the shares of Common Stock subject to those Awards shall automatically vest (or vest and become issuable) in whole or in part immediately prior to the effective date of an actual Change in Control transaction or upon
the subsequent termination of the Participant’s Service by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed twenty-four (24) months) following the effective date of that Change in Control transaction.

  
 18 

 ARTICLE FOUR 
 INCENTIVE BONUS PROGRAM 
  

	 	I.	 INCENTIVE BONUS TERMS 

 The Plan Administrator shall have full power and authority to implement one or more of the following incentive bonus programs under the Plan: 

(i) cash bonus awards (“Cash Awards”), and 

(ii) performance unit awards (“Performance Unit Awards”). 

A. Cash Awards.    The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority under
the Plan to make Cash Awards which are to vest in one or more installments over the Participant’s continued Service with the Corporation or upon the attainment of specified performance objectives tied to one or more Performance Goals. Each such
Cash Award shall be evidenced by one or more documents in the form approved by the Plan Administrator; provided however, that each such document shall comply with the terms specified below. 

1. The elements of the vesting schedule applicable to each Cash Award shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and
incorporated into the Incentive Bonus Award Agreement. 
 2. Outstanding Cash Awards shall automatically
terminate, and no cash payment or other consideration shall be due the holders of those Awards, if the performance objectives or Service requirements established for those Awards are not attained or satisfied. The Plan Administrator may in its
discretion waive the cancellation and termination of one or more unvested Cash Awards which would otherwise occur upon the cessation of the Participant’s Service or the non-attainment of the performance objectives applicable to those Awards.
Any such waiver shall result in the immediate vesting of the Participant’s interest in the Cash Award as to which the waiver applies. 
 3. Cash Awards which become due and payable following the attainment of the applicable performance objectives or satisfaction of the applicable Service requirement (or the waiver of such goals or Service
requirement) may be paid in (i) cash, (ii) shares of Common Stock valued at Fair Market Value on the payment date or (iii) a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. 

B. Performance Unit Awards.    The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary
authority to make Performance Unit Awards in accordance with the terms of the Incentive Bonus Program. Each such Performance Unit Award shall be evidenced by one or more documents in the form approved by the Plan Administrator; provided
however, that each such document shall comply with the terms specified below. 

  
 19 

 1. A Performance Unit shall represent either (i) a unit with a dollar
value tied to the level at which pre-established performance objectives tied to one or more Performance Goals are attained or (ii) a participating interest in a special bonus pool tied to the attainment of such pre-established performance
objectives. The amount of the bonus pool may vary with the level at which the applicable performance objectives are attained, and the value of each Performance Unit which becomes due and payable upon the attained level of performance shall be
determined by dividing the amount of the resulting bonus pool (if any) by the total number of Performance Units issued and outstanding at the completion of the applicable performance period. 

2. Performance Units may also be structured to include a Service requirement which the Participant must satisfy
following the completion of the performance period in order to vest in the Performance Units awarded with respect to that performance period. 
 3. Performance Units which become due and payable following the attainment of the applicable performance objectives and the satisfaction of any applicable Service requirement may be settled in
(i) cash, (ii) shares of Common Stock valued at Fair Market Value on the payment date or (iii) a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. 

 

	 	II.	 CHANGE IN CONTROL 

 The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more Awards under the Incentive Bonus Program so that those Awards shall automatically vest in whole or in part
immediately prior to the effective date of an actual Change in Control transaction or upon the subsequent termination of the Participant’s Service by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed twenty-four
(24) months) following the effective date of such Change in Control. To the extent any such Award is, at the time of such Change in Control, subject to a performance-vesting condition tied to the attainment of one or more specified performance
objectives, then the Plan Administrator shall have the authority to cancel that performance vesting condition on the effective date of such Change in Control and thereupon convert such Award into a Service-vesting Award that will vest solely in
accordance with the pre-existing Service vesting component of that Award. 

  
 20 

 ARTICLE FIVE 
 AUTOMATIC GRANT PROGRAM 
  

	 	I.	 AWARD TERMS 

 A. Automatic Grants.    The Awards to be made pursuant to the Automatic Grant Program shall be as follows: 

1. Each individual who is first elected or appointed as a non-employee Board member at any time on or after the Plan
Effective Date shall automatically be granted, on the date of such initial election or appointment, an Award with a grant-date fair value equal to the Applicable Dollar Amount (the “Initial Grant”), provided such individual has not
previously been in the employ of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary). The Applicable Dollar Amount shall be determined by the Plan Administrator at the time of each such grant, but in no event shall such amount exceed Two Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($200,000) per non-employee Board member. In addition, the Plan Administrator shall, on or before the date of each such grant, determine whether that grant shall be in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock,
restricted stock units or other stock-based awards allowable under the Plan or any combination thereof. 
 2.
On the date of each annual stockholders meeting, beginning with the 2012 Annual Meeting, each individual who is to continue to serve as a non-employee Board member, whether or not that individual is standing for re-election to the Board at that
particular annual meeting, shall automatically be granted an Award with a grant-date fair value equal to the Applicable Annual Amount (the “Annual Grant”), provided that such individual has served as a non-employee Board member for a
period of at least six (6) months. The Applicable Annual Amount shall be determined by the Plan Administrator on or before the date of the annual stockholders meeting at which those Annual Grants are to be made, but in no event shall exceed
(a) Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) per non-employee Board member for the Annual Grants to be made at the 2012 Annual Meeting, and (b) One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) per non-employee Board member for the Annual Grants to
be made at all Annual Meetings thereafter. In addition, the Plan Administrator shall, on or before the date of each such Annual Grant, determine whether that grant shall be in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock,
restricted stock units or other stock-based awards allowable under the Plan or any combination thereof. 
 3.
Each restricted unit that may be awarded under the Automatic Grant Program shall entitle the non-employee Board member to one share of Common Stock on the applicable issuance date following the vesting of that unit. 

B. Vesting of Awards and Issuance of Shares.    Each Initial Grant shall vest in a
series of in three (3) successive equal annual installments upon the non-employee Board member’s completion of each year of Board service over the three (3)-year period measured from the Award date, and each Annual Grant shall vest upon
the non-employee Board member’s continuation in Board service until the earlier of (i) the completion of the one-year 

  
 21 

 
period measured from the award date of that Annual Grant or (ii) the day immediately preceding the date of the annual stockholders meeting next following the annual stockholder meeting at
which such Annual Grant was made. However, should such non-employee Board member cease Board service by reason of death or Permanent Disability, then each Initial and Annual Grant made to such individual under this Article Five and outstanding at
the time of such cessation of Board service shall immediately vest in full. The shares of Common Stock that vest under any Initial or Annual Grant (or portion thereof) made in the form of restricted stock shall be issued as they vest;
provided, however, that the Plan Administrator may allow one or more non-employee Board members to defer, in accordance with the applicable requirements of Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, the issuance of
the shares beyond the vesting date to a designated date or until cessation of Board service or an earlier Change in Control. In addition, any shares of Common Stock subject to an Initial or Annual Grant (or portion thereof) made in the form of
restricted stock units that would otherwise become issuable to a non-employee Board member during a blackout period for trading in the Common Stock will automatically be deferred until the third trading day in the first open window period following
the conclusion of that blackout period, but in no event later than the fifteenth day of the third calendar month following the close of the calendar year in which such vesting date occurs. 

C. Stock Options/Stock Appreciation Rights.    To the extent any Initial Grant or
Annual Grant is made in the form of stock options or stock appreciation rights, the following provisions shall apply to that Award: 
 (i) The exercise price or base price per share shall be equal to the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the date of such Award. 

(ii) The maximum term of such Award shall be ten (10) years measured from the Award date, subject to earlier
termination upon the expiration of the twelve (12)-month period measured from the date the non-employee Board member ceases Board service for any reason. 
 D. Dividend Equivalent Rights.    Each restricted stock unit awarded under the Automatic Grant Program shall include a dividend equivalent right pursuant to which a book
account shall be established for the non-employee Board member and credited from time to time with each dividend or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than shares of Common Stock) which is made per issued and
outstanding share of Common Stock during the period the share of Common Stock underlying that restricted stock unit remains unissued. The amount credited to the book account with respect to such restricted stock unit shall be paid to the
non-employee Board member concurrently with the issuance of the share of Common Stock underlying that unit. 
  

	 	II.	 CHANGE IN CONTROL 

 Should the non-employee Board member continue in Board service until immediately prior to the effective date of an actual Change in Control transaction, then the shares of Common Stock subject to each
outstanding Initial and Annual Grant made to such Board member under the Automatic Grant Program shall, immediately prior to the effective date of that 

  
 22 

 
Change in Control transaction, vest in full. To the extent such Initial or Annual Grant is in the form of stock options or stock appreciation rights, that Award shall, immediately prior to the
effective date of the Change in Control transaction, become exercisable as to all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to that Award and may be exercised as to any or all of those shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock. To the
extent such Initial or Annual Grant is in the form of restricted stock or restricted stock units, that Award shall, on the effective date of the Change in Control, be converted into the right to receive the same consideration per share of Common
Stock payable to the other stockholders in the Change in Control, and such consideration per share shall distributed to the non-employee Board member at the same time as such stockholder payments are made, but in no event more than fifteen
(15) business days after the effective date of the Change in Control, except to the extent such issuance is subject to a deferred distribution date under Code Section 409A. 

  
 23 

 ARTICLE SIX 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  

	 	I.	 DEFERRED COMPENSATION 

 A. The Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, structure one or more Awards under the Stock Issuance or Incentive Bonus Programs so that the Participants may be provided with an election to defer
the compensation associated with those Awards for federal income tax purposes. Any such deferral opportunity shall comply with all applicable requirements of Code Section 409A. 

B. The Plan Administrator may implement a non-employee Board member retainer fee deferral program under the Plan so as
to allow the non-employee Board members the opportunity to elect, prior to the start of each calendar year, to convert the Board and Board committee retainer fees to be earned for such year into restricted stock units under the Stock Issuance
Program that will defer the issuance of the shares of Common Stock that vest under those restricted stock units until a permissible date or event under Code Section 409A. If such program is implemented, the Plan Administrator shall have the
authority to establish such rules and procedures as it deems appropriate for the filing of such deferral elections and the designation of the permissible distribution events under Code Section 409A. 

C. To the extent the Corporation maintains one or more separate non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements which
allow the participants the opportunity to make notional investments of their deferred account balances in shares of Common Stock, the Plan Administrator may authorize the share reserve under the Plan to serve as the source of any shares of Common
Stock that become payable under those deferred compensation arrangements. In such event, the share reserve under the Plan shall be reduced on a share-for-share basis for each share of Common Stock issued under the Plan in settlement of the deferred
compensation owed under those separate arrangements. 
  

	 	II.	 TAX WITHHOLDING 

 A. The Corporation’s obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock upon the exercise, issuance or vesting of an Award under the Plan shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable income and
employment tax withholding requirements. 
 B. The Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, structure one or
more Awards so that shares of Common Stock may be used as follows to satisfy all or part of the Withholding Taxes to which such holders of those Awards may become subject in connection with the issuance, exercise, vesting or settlement of those
Awards: 
 1. Stock Withholding:    The Corporation may retain the right to
withhold, from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon the issuance, exercise, vesting or settlement of such Award, a portion of those shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the applicable Withholding Taxes. The shares of
Common Stock so withheld shall reduce the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan. 

  
 24 

 2. Stock Delivery:    The holder of the Award
may be given the right to deliver to the Corporation, at the time of the issuance, exercise, vesting or settlement of such Award, one or more shares of Common Stock previously acquired by such individual with an aggregate Fair Market Value at the
time of delivery equal to the percentage of the Withholding Taxes (not to exceed one hundred percent (100%)) designated by the individual. The shares of Common Stock so delivered shall neither reduce the number of shares of Common Stock

	 	III.	 SHARE ESCROW/LEGENDS 

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

	 	IV.	 EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN 

A. The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors and became effective on the Plan Effective Date, subject to the
approval of the Corporation’s stockholders prior to the date the underwriting agreement for the initial public offering of the Common Stock is executed. Any Award made under the Plan on or after the Plan Effective Date and prior to the date of
such stockholder approval shall be subject to such stockholder approval and shall be cancelled in the event such stockholder approval is not obtained prior to the date the underwriting agreement for the initial public offering of the Common Stock is
executed. The Board of Directors approved an amendment and restatement of the Plan on November 11, 2011. 

B. The Plan shall serve as the successor to each of the Predecessor Plans, and no further option grants or restricted
stock unit awards shall be made under the Predecessor Plans. All options outstanding under the Predecessor Plans on the Plan Effective Date shall be transferred to the Plan at that time and shall be treated as outstanding options under the Plan.
However, each outstanding option so transferred shall continue to be governed solely by the terms of the documents evidencing such option, and no provision of the Plan shall be deemed to affect or otherwise modify the rights or obligations of the
holders of such transferred options with respect to their acquisition of shares of Common Stock thereunder. Should any of those transferred options expire or terminate unexercised, the shares of Common Stock subject to those options at the time of
expiration or termination shall be available for subsequent award and issuance under the Plan in accordance with the provisions of Section V.E of Article One. 
 C. One or more provisions of the Plan, including (without limitation) the vesting acceleration provisions of Article Two relating to Changes in Control may, in the Plan Administrator’s discretion, be
extended to one or more options transferred from the Predecessor Plans which do not otherwise contain such provisions. 
 D. The Plan shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) September 11, 2021, (ii) the date on which all shares available for issuance under the Plan shall have been issued as
fully vested shares or (iii) the termination of all outstanding Awards in connection with a Change in Control. Should the Plan terminate on September 11, 2021, then all Awards 

  
 25 

 
outstanding at that time shall continue to have force and effect in accordance with the provisions of the documents evidencing those Awards. 

 

	 	V.	 AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN 

 A. The Board shall have complete and exclusive power and authority to amend or modify the Plan in any or all respects; provided, however, that stockholder approval shall be required for any
amendment to the Plan which (i) materially increases the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan (other than pursuant to Section V.G of Article One), (ii) materially increases the benefits accruing to
Optionees or Participants, (iii) materially expands the class of individuals eligible to participate in the Plan, (iv) expands the types of awards which may be made under the Plan or extends the term of the Plan or (v) effects any
other change or modification to the Plan for which stockholder approval is required under applicable law or regulation or pursuant to the listing standards of the Stock Exchange on which the Common Stock is at the time primarily traded. However, no
such amendment or modification shall adversely affect the rights and obligations with respect to Awards at the time outstanding under the Plan unless the Optionee or the Participant consents to such amendment or modification. 

B. The Compensation Committee shall have the discretionary authority to adopt and implement from time to time such
addenda or subplans to the Plan as it may deem necessary in order to bring the Plan into compliance with applicable laws and regulations of any foreign jurisdictions in which Awards are to be made under the Plan and/or to obtain favorable tax
treatment in those foreign jurisdictions for the individuals to whom the Awards are made. 
 C. Awards may be
made under the Plan that involve shares of Common Stock in excess of the number of shares then available for issuance under the Plan, provided no shares shall actually be issued pursuant to those Awards until the number of shares of Common Stock
available for issuance under the Plan is sufficiently increased by stockholder approval of an amendment of the Plan authorizing such increase. If such stockholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months after the date the first
excess Award is made, then all Awards granted on the basis of such excess shares shall terminate and cease to be outstanding. 
 D. The provisions of the Plan and the outstanding Awards under the Plan shall, in the event of any ambiguity, be construed, applied and interpreted in a manner so as to ensure that all Awards and Award
Agreements provided to Optionees or Participants who are subject to U.S. income taxation either qualify for an exemption from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or comply with those requirements; provided, however, that
the Corporation shall not make any representations that any Awards made under the Plan will in fact be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or otherwise comply with those requirements, and each Optionee and Participant shall
accordingly be solely responsible for any taxes, penalties or other amounts that may become payable with respect to his or her Awards by reason of Section 409A of the Code. 

  
 26 

	 	VI.	 USE OF PROCEEDS 

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

 

	 	VII.	 REGULATORY APPROVALS 

 A. The implementation of the Plan, the granting of any Award under the Plan and the issuance of any shares of Common Stock in connection with the issuance, exercise, vesting or settlement of any Award
under the Plan shall be subject to the Corporation’s procurement of all approvals and permits required by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Plan, the Awards made under the Plan and the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant
to those Awards. 
 B. No shares of Common Stock or other assets shall be issued or delivered under the Plan
unless and until there shall have been compliance with all applicable requirements of applicable securities laws, including the filing and effectiveness of the Form S-8 registration statement for the shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan,
and all applicable listing requirements of any Stock Exchange on which Common Stock is then listed for trading. 
  

	 	VIII.	 NO EMPLOYMENT/SERVICE RIGHTS 

 Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon the Optionee or the Participant any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of
the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining such person) or of the Optionee or the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate such person’s Service at any time for any reason, with or
without cause.
