 (a)
Stock Issuable. The maximum number of Shares reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be 3,000,000 Shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(b). For purposes of this limitation, the Shares underlying any
Awards that are forfeited, canceled, reacquired by the Company prior to vesting, satisfied without the issuance of Stock or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) and Shares that are withheld upon exercise of an Option or settlement of an
Award to cover the exercise price or tax withholding shall be added back to the Shares available for issuance under the Plan. Subject to such overall limitations, Shares may be issued up to such maximum number pursuant to any type or types of Award.
The Shares available for issuance under the Plan may be authorized but unissued Shares or Shares reacquired by the Company. Beginning on the date that the Company becomes subject to Section 162(m) of the Code, Options with respect to no more
than 500,000 Shares shall be granted to any one individual in any calendar year period. 
 (b) Changes in Stock. Subject to
Section 3(c) hereof, if, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Company’s capital stock, the outstanding Shares are increased
or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company, or additional Shares or new or different shares or other securities of the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect to
such Shares or other securities, in each case, without the receipt of consideration by the Company, or, if, as a result of any merger or consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the outstanding Shares are
converted into or exchanged for other securities of the Company or any successor entity (or a parent or subsidiary thereof), the Committee shall make an appropriate and proportionate adjustment in (i) the maximum number of Shares reserved for
issuance under the Plan, (ii) the number and kind of Shares or other securities subject to any then outstanding Awards under the Plan, (iii) the repurchase price, if any, per Share subject to each outstanding Award, and (iv) the
exercise price for each Share subject to any then outstanding Stock Options under the Plan, without changing the aggregate exercise price (i.e., the exercise price multiplied by the number of Stock Options) as to which such Stock Options remain
exercisable. The Committee shall also make equitable or proportionate adjustments in the number of Shares subject to outstanding Awards and the exercise price and the terms of outstanding Awards to take into consideration cash dividends paid other
than in the ordinary course or any other extraordinary corporate event. The Committee shall in any event make such adjustments as may be required by Section 25102(o) of the California Corporation Code and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder. The adjustment by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional Shares shall be issued under the Plan resulting from any such adjustment, but the Committee in its discretion may make a cash payment in lieu of
fractional shares.

	SECTION 4. 	ELIGIBILITY 

 Grantees under the Plan will be such full or part-time officers and other

 Upon the grant of a Stock Option, the Company and the grantee shall enter

Stock Options granted under the Plan may be either Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options may be
granted only to employees of the Company or any Subsidiary that is a “subsidiary corporation” within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code. To the extent that any Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall be

individuals who meet the eligibility requirements of Section 4. Stock Options shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the
Committee shall deem desirable. 

  
 11 

 (i) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share for the Shares covered by a Stock Option
shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant but shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the exercise price per
share for the Shares covered by such Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date. 

(ii) Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten
years from the Grant Date. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the term of such Stock Option shall be no more than five years from the Grant Date. 

(iii) Exercisability; Rights of a Stockholder. Stock Options shall become exercisable and/or vested at such time or times, whether or
not in installments, as shall be determined by the Committee at or after the Grant Date. The Award Agreement may permit a grantee to exercise all or a portion of a Stock Option immediately at grant; provided that the Shares issued upon such exercise
shall be subject to restrictions and a vesting schedule identical to the vesting schedule of the related Stock Option, such Shares shall be deemed to be Restricted Stock for purposes of the Plan, and the optionee may be required to enter into an
additional or new Award Agreement as a condition to exercise of such Stock Option. An optionee shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to Shares acquired upon the exercise of a Stock Option and not as to unexercised Stock Options. An optionee
shall not be deemed to have acquired any Shares unless and until a Stock Option shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms of the Award Agreement and this Plan and the optionee’s name has been entered on the books of the Company as a
stockholder. 
 (iv) Method of Exercise. Stock Options may be exercised by an optionee in whole or in part, by the optionee giving
written or electronic notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the number of Shares to be purchased. Payment of the purchase price may be made by one or more of the following methods (or any combination thereof) to the extent provided in the
Award Agreement: 
 (A) In cash, by certified or bank check, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, or other
instrument acceptable to the Committee; 
 (B) If permitted by the Committee, by the optionee delivering to the Company a
promissory note, if the Board has expressly authorized the loan of funds to the optionee for the purpose of enabling or assisting the optionee to effect the exercise of his or her Stock Option; provided, that at least so much of the exercise
price as represents the par value of the Stock shall be paid in cash if required by state law; 
 (C) If permitted by the
Committee and the Company’s Initial Public Offering has occurred (or the Stock otherwise becomes publicly-traded), through the delivery (or attestation to the ownership) of Shares that have been purchased by the optionee on the open market or
that are beneficially owned by the optionee and are not then subject to restrictions under any Company plan. To the extent required to avoid variable accounting treatment under ASC 718 or other applicable accounting rules, such surrendered Shares if
originally purchased from the Company shall have been owned by the optionee for at least six months. Such surrendered Shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise date; 

  
 12 

 (D) If permitted by the Committee and the Company’s Initial Public Offering
has occurred (or the Stock otherwise becomes publicly-traded), by the optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check
payable and acceptable to the Company for the purchase price; provided that in the event the optionee chooses to pay the purchase price as so provided, the optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures and enter into such
agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Committee shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure; or 

(E) If permitted by the Committee, and only with respect to Stock Options that are not Incentive Stock Options, by a “net
exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of Shares issuable upon exercise by the largest whole number of Shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price. 

Payment instruments will be received subject to collection. No certificates for Shares so purchased will be issued to the optionee or, with
respect to uncertificated Stock, no transfer to the optionee on the records of the Company will take place, until the Company has completed all steps it has deemed necessary to satisfy legal requirements relating to the issuance and sale of the
Shares, which steps may include, without limitation, (i) receipt of a representation from the optionee at the time of exercise of the Option that the optionee is purchasing the Shares for the optionee’s own account and not with a view to
any sale or distribution of the Shares or other representations relating to compliance with applicable law governing the issuance of securities, (ii) the legending of the certificate (or notation on any book entry) representing the Shares to
evidence the foregoing restrictions, and (iii) obtaining from optionee payment or provision for all withholding taxes due as a result of the exercise of the Option. The delivery of certificates representing the shares of Stock (or the transfer
to the optionee on the records of the Company with respect to uncertificated Stock) to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option will be contingent upon (A) receipt from the optionee (or a purchaser acting in his or her stead in
accordance with the provisions of the Stock Option) by the Company of the full purchase price for such Shares and the fulfillment of any other requirements contained in the Award Agreement or applicable provisions of laws and (B) if required by
the Company, the optionee shall have entered into any stockholders agreements or other agreements with the Company and/or certain other of the Company’s stockholders relating to the Stock. In the event an optionee chooses to pay the purchase
price by previously-owned Shares through the attestation method, the number of Shares transferred to the optionee upon the exercise of the Stock Option shall be net of the number of Shares attested to. 

(b) Annual Limit on Incentive Stock Options. To the extent required for “incentive stock option” treatment under
Section 422 of the Code, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Grant Date) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan and any other plan of the Company or its parent and any Subsidiary
that become exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000 or such other limit as may be in effect from time to time under Section 422 of the Code. To the extent that any Stock Option exceeds
this limit, it shall constitute a Non-Qualified Stock Option. 

  
 13 

 (c) Termination. Any portion of a Stock Option that is not vested and exercisable on the
date of termination of an optionee’s Service Relationship shall immediately expire and be null and void. Once any portion of the Stock Option becomes vested and exercisable, the optionee’s right to exercise such portion of the Stock Option
(or the optionee’s representatives and legatees as applicable) in the event of a termination of the optionee’s Service Relationship shall continue until the earliest of: (i) the date which is: (A) twelve months following the date
on which the optionee’s Service Relationship terminates due to death or Disability (or such longer period of time as determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement), or (B) three months following the date on
which the optionee’s Service Relationship terminates if the termination is due to any reason other than death or Disability (or such longer period of time as determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement), or
(ii) the Expiration Date set forth in the Award Agreement; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, an Award Agreement may provide that if the optionee’s Service Relationship is terminated for Cause, the Stock Option shall
terminate immediately and be null and void upon the date of the optionee’s termination and shall not thereafter be exercisable. 
  

	SECTION 6. 	RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS 

 (a) Nature of Restricted Stock Awards. The Committee
may, in its sole discretion, grant (or sell at par value or such other purchase price determined by the Committee) to an eligible individual under Section 4 hereof a Restricted Stock Award under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the
restrictions and conditions applicable to each Restricted Stock Award at the time of grant. Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other Service Relationship), achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives and/or such
other criteria as the Committee may determine. Upon the grant of a Restricted Stock Award, the Company and the grantee shall enter into an Award Agreement. The terms and conditions of each such Award Agreement shall be determined by the Committee,
and such terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees. 
 (b) Rights as a Stockholder. Upon the grant of the
Restricted Stock Award and payment of any applicable purchase price, a grantee of Restricted Stock shall be considered the record owner of and shall be entitled to vote the Restricted Stock if, and to the extent, such Shares are entitled to voting
rights, subject to such conditions contained in the Award Agreement. The grantee shall be entitled to receive all dividends and any other distributions declared on the Shares; provided, however, that the Company is under no duty to
declare any such dividends or to make any such distribution. Unless the Committee shall otherwise determine, certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock shall remain in the possession of the Company until such Restricted Stock is vested as provided
in subsection (d) below of this Section, and the grantee shall be required, as a condition of the grant, to deliver to the Company a stock power endorsed in blank and such other instruments of transfer as the Committee may prescribe. 

  
 14 

 (c) Restrictions. Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or
otherwise encumbered or disposed of except as specifically provided herein or in the Award Agreement. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Committee either in the Award Agreement or, subject to Section 12 below, in writing after the Award
Agreement is issued, if a grantee’s Service Relationship with the Company and any Subsidiary terminates, the Company or its assigns shall have the right, as may be specified in the relevant instrument, to repurchase some or all of the Shares
subject to the Award at such purchase price as is set forth in the Award Agreement. 
 (d) Vesting of Restricted Stock. The Committee
at the time of grant shall specify in the Award Agreement the date or dates and/or the attainment of pre-established performance goals, objectives and other conditions on which the substantial risk of
forfeiture imposed shall lapse and the Restricted Stock shall become vested, subject to such further rights of the Company or its assigns as may be specified in the Award Agreement. 

 

	SECTION 7. 	UNRESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS 

 The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant (or sell at
par value or such other purchase price determined by the Committee) to an eligible person under Section 4 hereof an Unrestricted Stock Award under the Plan. Unrestricted Stock Awards may be granted in respect of past services or other valid
consideration, or in lieu of cash compensation due to such grantee. 
  

	SECTION 8. 	RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS 

 (a) Nature of Restricted Stock Units. The Committee may,
in its sole discretion, grant to an eligible person under Section 4 hereof Restricted Stock Units under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the restrictions and conditions applicable to each Restricted Stock Unit at the time of grant.
Vesting conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other Service Relationship), achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives and/or other such criteria as the Committee may determine. Upon the grant of Restricted Stock
Units, the grantee and the Company shall enter into an Award Agreement. The terms and conditions of each such Award Agreement shall be determined by the Committee and may differ among individual Awards and grantees. On or promptly following the
vesting date or dates applicable to any Restricted Stock Unit, but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the year in which such vesting occurs, such Restricted Stock Unit(s) shall be settled in the form of cash or shares of
Stock, as specified in the Award Agreement. Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of. 

(b) Rights as a Stockholder. A grantee shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to Shares, if any, acquired upon settlement of
Restricted Stock Units. A grantee shall not be deemed to have acquired any such Shares unless and until the Restricted Stock Units shall have been settled in Shares pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the Award Agreement, the Company shall have
issued and delivered a certificate representing the Shares to the grantee (or transferred on the records of the Company with respect to uncertificated stock), and the grantee’s name has been entered in the books of the Company as a stockholder.

  
 15 

 (c) Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Committee either in the Award
Agreement or in writing after the Award Agreement is issued, a grantee’s right in all Restricted Stock Units that have not vested shall automatically terminate upon the grantee’s cessation of Service Relationship with the Company and any
Subsidiary for any reason. 
  

	SECTION 9. 	TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS; COMPANY RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL; COMPANY REPURCHASE RIGHTS 

 (a)
Restrictions on Transfer. 
 (i) Non-Transferability of Stock Options. Stock Options and, prior to exercise, the Shares
issuable upon exercise of such Stock Option, shall not be transferable by the optionee otherwise than by will, or by the laws of descent and distribution, and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the optionee’s lifetime, only by the
optionee, or by the optionee’s legal representative or guardian in the event of the optionee’s incapacity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide in the Award Agreement regarding a given Stock
Option that the optionee may transfer by gift, without consideration for the transfer, his or her Non-Qualified Stock Options to his or her family members (as defined in Rule 701 of the Securities Act), to
trusts for the benefit of such family members, or to partnerships in which such family members are the only partners (to the extent such trusts or partnerships are considered “family members” for purposes of Rule 701 of the Securities
Act), provided that the transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, including the execution of a stock power upon the issuance of Shares. Stock
Options, and the Shares issuable upon exercise of such Stock Options, shall be restricted as to any pledge, hypothecation, or other transfer, including any short position, any “put equivalent position” (as defined in the Exchange Act) or
any “call equivalent position” (as defined in the Exchange Act) prior to exercise. 
 (ii) Shares. No Shares shall be sold,
assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given away or in any other manner disposed of or encumbered, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, unless (i) the transfer is in compliance with the terms of the applicable Award Agreement,
all applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act), and with the terms and conditions of this Section 9, (ii) the transfer does not cause the Company to become subject to the reporting requirements of the
Exchange Act, and (iii) the transferee consents in writing to be bound by the provisions of the Plan and the Award Agreement, including this Section 9. In connection with any proposed transfer, the Committee may require the transferor to
provide at the transferor’s own expense an opinion of counsel to the transferor, satisfactory to the Committee, that such transfer is in compliance with all foreign, federal and state securities laws (including, without limitation, the
Securities Act). Any attempted transfer of Shares not in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 9 shall be null and void, and the Company shall not reflect on its records any change in record ownership of any Shares as a
result of any such transfer, shall otherwise refuse to recognize any such transfer and shall not in any way give effect to any such transfer of Shares. The Company shall be entitled to seek protective orders, injunctive relief and other remedies
available at law or in equity including, without limitation, seeking specific performance or the rescission of any transfer not made in strict compliance with the provisions of this Section 9. Subject to the

  
 16 

 
foregoing general provisions, and unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, Shares may be transferred pursuant to the following specific terms and conditions (provided that
with respect to any transfer of Restricted Stock, all vesting and forfeiture provisions shall continue to apply with respect to the original recipient): 

(A) Transfers to Permitted Transferees. The Holder may transfer any or all of the Shares to one or more Permitted
Transferees; provided, however, that following such transfer, such Shares shall continue to be subject to the terms of this Plan (including this Section 9) and such Permitted Transferee(s) shall, as a condition to any such transfer,
deliver a written acknowledgment to that effect to the Company and shall deliver a stock power to the Company with respect to the Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may not transfer any of the Shares to a Person whom the Company
reasonably determines is a direct competitor or a potential competitor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 
 (B)
Transfers Upon Death. Upon the death of the Holder, any Shares then held by the Holder at the time of such death and any Shares acquired after the Holder’s death by the Holder’s legal representative shall be subject to the
provisions of this Plan, and the Holder’s estate, executors, administrators, personal representatives, heirs, legatees and distributees shall be obligated to convey such Shares to the Company or its assigns under the terms contemplated by the
Plan and the Award Agreement. 
 (b) Right of First Refusal. In the event that a Holder desires at any time to sell or otherwise
transfer all or any part of his or her Shares (other than shares of Restricted Stock which by their terms are not transferrable), the Holder first shall give written notice to the Company of the Holder’s intention to make such transfer. Such
notice shall state the number of Shares that the Holder proposes to sell (the “Offered Shares”), the price and the terms at which the proposed sale is to be made and the name and address of the proposed transferee. At any time within 30
days after the receipt of such notice by the Company, the Company or its assigns may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Offered Shares at the price and on the terms offered by the proposed transferee and specified in the notice. The Company
or its assigns shall exercise this right by mailing or delivering written notice to the Holder within the foregoing 30-day period. If the Company or its assigns elect to exercise its purchase rights under this Section 9(b), the closing for such
purchase shall, in any event, take place within 45 days after the receipt by the Company of the initial notice from the Holder. In the event that the Company or its assigns do not elect to exercise such purchase right, or in the event that the
Company or its assigns do not pay the full purchase price within such 45-day period, the Holder may, within 60 days thereafter, sell the Offered Shares to the proposed transferee and at the same price and on the same terms as specified in the
Holder’s notice. Any Shares not sold to the proposed transferee shall remain subject to the Plan. If the Holder is a party to any stockholders agreements or other agreements with the Company and/or certain other of the Company’s
stockholders relating to the Shares, (i) the transferring Holder shall comply with the requirements of such stockholders agreements or other agreements relating to any proposed transfer of the Offered Shares, and (ii) any proposed
transferee that purchases Offered Shares shall enter into such stockholders agreements or other agreements with the Company and/or certain of the Company’s stockholders relating to the Offered Shares on the same terms and in the same capacity
as the transferring Holder. 

  
 17 

 (c) Company’s Right of Repurchase. 

(i) Right of Repurchase for Shares Issued Upon the Exercise of an Option. Parent or the Company shall have the right and option upon a
Repurchase Event to repurchase from a Holder some or all (as determined by Parent or the Company, as applicable) of the Shares acquired upon exercise of a Stock Option by such Holder at the price per share specified below. In addition, upon a
Termination Event, Parent or the Company shall have the right and option to repurchase from a Holder of Shares acquired upon exercise of a Stock Option which are still subject to a risk of forfeiture as of the Termination Event. Such repurchase
rights may be exercised by the Company within the later of (A) six months following the date of such Repurchase Event or (B) seven months after the acquisition of Shares upon exercise of a Stock Option. The repurchase price shall be equal
to (i) in the case of Shares that are not subject to a risk of forfeiture as of the Repurchase Event, the Fair Market Value of the Shares, determined as of the date the Parent or the Committee elects to exercise its repurchase rights in
connection with a Repurchase Event and (ii) in the case of Shares that are still subject to a risk of forfeiture as of the Repurchase Event or Termination Event (as applicable), the lower of the original per share price paid by the Holder,
subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(b) of the Plan, or the current Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date Parent or the Company elects to exercise its repurchase rights in connection with a Repurchase Event or Termination
Event (as applicable). 
 (ii) Right of Repurchase With Respect to Restricted Stock and Shares issued pursuant to an Unrestricted Stock Award
or Restricted Stock Unit Award. Unless otherwise set forth in the Award Agreement in connection with a Restricted Stock Award, Unrestricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award, Parent or the Company shall have the right and option upon a
Repurchase Event to repurchase from a Holder of Shares received pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award, Unrestricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award some or all (as determined by Parent or the Company, as applicable) of such Shares at the
price per share specified below. In addition, upon a Termination Event, Parent or the Company shall have the right and option to repurchase from a Holder of Shares received pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award any Shares that are still subject to a
risk of forfeiture as of the Termination Event. Such repurchase right may be exercised by Parent or the Company, as applicable, within six months following the date of such Repurchase Event or Termination Event as applicable. The repurchase price
shall be (i) in the case of Shares that are vested as of the date of the Repurchase Event, the Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date the Company elects to exercise its repurchase rights in connection with a Repurchase Event and
(ii) in the case of Shares that are still subject to a risk of forfeiture as of the date of the Repurchase Event or Termination Event (as applicable), the lower of the original per share purchase price paid by the Holder, subject to adjustment
as provided in Section 3(b) of the Plan (or $0 if the Holder did not pay any original per share purchase price), or the current Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date Parent or the Company elects to exercise its repurchase rights in
connection with a Repurchase Event or Termination Event (as applicable). 
 (iii) Procedure. Any repurchase right of Parent or the
Company shall be exercised by Parent or the Company by giving the Holder written notice on or before the last day of the repurchase period of its intention to exercise such repurchase right. Upon such notification, the Holder shall promptly
surrender to Parent or the Company, free and clear of any 

  
 18 

 
liens or encumbrances, any certificates representing the Shares being purchased, together with a duly executed stock power for the transfer of such Shares to Parent or the Company. Upon
Parent’s or the Company’s receipt of the certificates from the Holder, Parent or the Company shall deliver to him, her or them a check for the applicable repurchase price; provided, however, that Parent or the Company may pay the
repurchase price by offsetting and canceling any indebtedness then owed by the Holder to Parent or the Company. 
 (d) Escrow
Arrangement. 
 (i) Escrow. In order to carry out the provisions of this Section 9 of this Plan more effectively, the Company
shall hold any Shares issued pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan in escrow together with separate stock powers executed by the Holder in blank for transfer. The Company shall not dispose of the Shares except as otherwise provided in this Plan.
In the event of any repurchase by Parent or the Company, the Company is hereby authorized by the Holder, as the Holder’s attorney-in-fact, to date and complete the stock powers necessary for the transfer of the Shares being purchased and to
transfer such Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. At such time as any Shares are no longer subject to Parent’s or the Company’s repurchase and first refusal rights, the Company shall, at the written request of the Holder, deliver
to the Holder a certificate representing such Shares with the balance of the Shares to be held in escrow pursuant to this Section. 
 (ii)
Remedy. Without limitation of any other provision of this Plan or other rights, in the event that a Holder or any other Person is required to sell a Holder’s Shares pursuant to the provisions of Sections 9(b) or (c) hereof and in
the further event that he or she refuses or for any reason fails to deliver to Parent or the Company of such Shares the certificate or certificates evidencing such Shares together with a related stock power, Parent or the Company may deposit the
applicable purchase price for such Shares with a bank designated by Parent or the Company, or with the Company’s independent public accounting firm, as agent or trustee, or in escrow, for such Holder or other Person, to be held by such bank or
accounting firm for the benefit of and for delivery to him, her, them or it, and/or, in its discretion, pay such purchase price by offsetting any indebtedness then owed by such Holder as provided above. Upon any such deposit and/or offset by the
Company or its designated purchaser of such amount and upon notice to the Person who was required to sell the Shares to be sold pursuant to the provisions of Sections 9(b) or (c), such Shares shall at such time be deemed to have been sold, assigned,
transferred and conveyed to such purchaser, such Holder shall have no further rights thereto (other than the right to withdraw the payment thereof held in escrow, if applicable), and the Company shall record such transfer in its stock transfer book
or in any appropriate manner. 
 (e) Lockup Provision. If requested by the Company, a Holder shall not sell or otherwise transfer or
dispose of any Shares (including, without limitation, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) held by him or her for such period following the effective date of a public offering by the Company of Shares as the Company shall specify
reasonably and in good faith. If requested by the underwriter engaged by the Company, each Holder shall execute a separate letter confirming his or her agreement to comply with this Section. 

  
 19 

 (f) Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure. If, as a result of any reorganization,
recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Common Stock, the outstanding Shares are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of securities of the
Company, the restrictions contained in this Section 9 shall apply with equal force to additional and/or substitute securities, if any, received by Holder in exchange for, or by virtue of his or her ownership of, Shares. 

(g) Termination. The terms and provisions of Section 9(b) and Section 9(c) (except for the Company’s right to repurchase
Shares still subject to a risk of forfeiture upon a Termination Event) shall terminate upon the closing of the Company’s Initial Public Offering or upon consummation of any Company Sale Event, in either case as a result of which Shares are
registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and publicly-traded on any national security exchange. 
  

	SECTION 10. 	TAX WITHHOLDING 

 (a) Payment by Grantee. Each grantee shall, no later than the
date as of which the value of an Award or of any Shares or other amounts received thereunder first becomes includable in the gross income of the grantee for income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee
regarding payment of, any Federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld by the Company with respect to such income. The Company and any Subsidiary shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such
taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the grantee. The Company’s obligation to deliver stock certificates (or evidence of book entry) to any grantee is subject to and conditioned on any such tax withholding obligations being
satisfied by the grantee. 
 (b) Payment in Stock. The Company’s minimum required tax withholding obligation may be satisfied, in
whole or in part, by the Company withholding from Shares to be issued pursuant to an Award a number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the minimum withholding amount due.

  

	SECTION 11. 	SECTION 409A AWARDS. 

 To the extent that any Award is determined to constitute
“nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A (a “409A Award”), the Award shall be subject to such additional rules and requirements as may be specified by the Committee from time to time. In this
regard, if any amount under a 409A Award is payable upon a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A) to a grantee who is considered a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A), then
no such payment shall be made prior to the date that is the earlier of (i) six months and one day after the grantee’s separation from service, or (ii) the grantee’s death, but only to the extent such delay is necessary to prevent
such payment from being subject to interest, penalties and/or additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A. The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to any grantee under the Plan or any other Person with
respect to any penalties or taxes under Section 409A that are, or may be, imposed with respect to any Award. 

  
 20 

	SECTION 12. 	AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION 

 The Board may, at any time, amend or discontinue the Plan
and the Committee may, at any time, amend or cancel any outstanding Award for the purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, but no such action shall adversely affect rights under any outstanding Award without the consent
of the holder of the Award. The Committee may exercise its discretion to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Stock Options or effect repricing through cancellation of outstanding Stock Options and by granting such holders new Awards in
replacement of the cancelled Stock Options. To the extent determined by the Committee to be required either by the Code to ensure that Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan are qualified under Section 422 of the Code or otherwise, Plan
amendments shall be subject to approval by the Company stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders. Nothing in this Section 12 shall limit the Board’s or Committee’s authority to take any action permitted pursuant to
Section 3(c). The Board reserves the right to amend the Plan and/or the terms of any outstanding Stock Options to the extent reasonably necessary to comply with the requirements of the exemption pursuant to paragraph (f)(4) of Rule 12h-1 of the
Exchange Act. 
  

	SECTION 13. 	STATUS OF PLAN 

 With respect to the portion of any Award that has not been exercised and
any payments in cash, Stock or other consideration not received by a grantee, a grantee shall have no rights greater than those of a general creditor of the Company unless the Committee shall otherwise expressly so determine in connection with any
Award. 
  

	SECTION 14. 	GENERAL PROVISIONS 

 (a) No Distribution; Compliance with Legal Requirements. The
Committee may require each person acquiring Shares pursuant to an Award to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the Shares without a view to distribution thereof. No Shares shall be issued pursuant to an
Award until all applicable securities law and other legal and stock exchange or similar requirements have been satisfied. The Committee may require the placing of such stop-orders and restrictive legends on certificates for Stock and Awards as it
deems appropriate. 
 (b) Delivery of Stock Certificates. Stock certificates to grantees under the Plan shall be deemed delivered for
all purposes when the Company or a stock transfer agent of the Company shall have mailed such certificates in the United States mail, addressed to the grantee, at the grantee’s last known address on file with the Company; provided that stock
certificates to be held in escrow pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan shall be deemed delivered when the Company shall have recorded the issuance in its records. Uncertificated Stock shall be deemed delivered for all purposes when the Company or
a stock transfer agent of the Company shall have given to the grantee by electronic mail (with proof of receipt) or by United States mail, addressed to the grantee, at the grantee’s last known address on file with the Company, notice of
issuance and recorded the issuance in its records (which may include electronic “book entry” records). 

  
 21 

 (c) No Employment Rights. The adoption of the Plan and the grant of Awards do not
confer upon any Person any right to continued employment or Service Relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary. 
 (d) Trading Policy
Restrictions. Option exercises and other Awards under the Plan shall be subject to the Company’s insider trading policy-related restrictions, terms and conditions as may be established by the Committee, or in accordance with policies set by
the Committee, from time to time. 
 (e) Designation of Beneficiary. Each grantee to whom an Award has been made under the Plan may
designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise any Award on or after the grantee’s death or receive any payment under any Award payable on or after the grantee’s death. Any such designation shall be on a form provided for that
purpose by the Committee and shall not be effective until received by the Committee. If no beneficiary has been designated by a deceased grantee, or if the designated beneficiaries have predeceased the grantee, the beneficiary shall be the
grantee’s estate. 
 (f) Legend. Any certificate(s) representing the Shares shall carry substantially the following legend (and
with respect to uncertificated Stock, the book entries evidencing such shares shall contain the following notation): 
 The transferability
of this certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions (including repurchase and restrictions against transfers) contained in the Northern Power Systems, Inc. 2011 Stock Option and Grant
Plan and any agreements entered into thereunder by and between the company and the holder of this certificate (a copy of which is available at the offices of the company for examination). 

(g) Information to Holders of Options. In the event the Company is relying on the exemption from the registration requirements of
Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act contained in paragraph (f)(1) of Rule 12h-1 of the Exchange Act, the Company shall provide the information described in Rule 701(e)(3), (4) and (5) of the Securities Act to all holders of Options in
accordance with the requirements thereunder. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to provide such information unless the optionholder has agreed in writing, on a form prescribed by the Company, to keep such information
confidential. 
  

	SECTION 15. 	EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN 

 The Plan shall become effective upon adoption by the Board and
shall be approved by stockholders in accordance with applicable state law and the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws within 12 months thereafter. If the stockholders fail to approve the Plan within 12 months after its adoption by
the Board of Directors, then any Awards granted or sold under the Plan shall be rescinded and no additional grants or sales shall thereafter be made under the Plan. Subject to such approval by stockholders and to the requirement that no Shares may
be issued hereunder prior to such approval, Stock Options and other Awards may be granted hereunder on and after adoption of the Plan by the Board. No grants of Stock Options and other Awards may be made hereunder after the tenth anniversary of the
date the Plan is adopted by the Board or the date the Plan is approved by the Company’s stockholders, whichever is earlier. 

  
 22 

	SECTION 16. 	GOVERNING LAW 

 This Plan, all Awards and any controversy arising out of or relating to
this Plan and all Awards shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State
of Delaware.

 NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION GRANT NOTICE 

UNDER THE NORTHERN POWER SYSTEMS, INC. 

2011 STOCK OPTION AND GRANT PLAN

actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages. 

(c) The Company, the Optionee, each party to the Agreement and any other holder of Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement (each, a
“Party”) covenants and agrees that such party will participate in the arbitration in good faith. This Section 7 applies equally to requests for temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, except that in the case of

purpose of enforcing the award or decision in any such proceeding, (ii) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally
to the jurisdiction of the above named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution (except as protected by applicable law), that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the
suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court, and (iii) hereby waives and agrees not to seek any review by any court of any other jurisdiction which may be
called upon to grant an enforcement of the judgment of any such court. Each Party hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given. Each Party agrees that its, his or her submission to
jurisdiction and its, his or her consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of each other Party. Final judgment against any Party in any such action, suit or proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit,
action or proceeding on the judgment, or in any other manner provided by or pursuant to the laws of such other jurisdiction.

to another Subsidiary or (ii) an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Committee, if the individual’s right to re-employment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or
under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Committee otherwise so provides in writing. Whether or when a Termination Event occurs in connection with the sale or spin-off of any of Parent’s Subsidiaries (other
than the Company) shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 
 “Unrestricted Stock Award” means any
Award granted pursuant to Section 7 and “Unrestricted Stock” means Shares issued pursuant to such Awards.

(b) Powers of Committee. The Committee shall have the power and authority to grant Awards consistent with the terms of the Plan,
including the power and authority:

 5 

 (iii) to determine the number of Shares to be covered by any Award and, subject to the provisions
of the Plan, the price, exercise price, conversion ratio or other price relating thereto; 
 (iv) to determine and, subject to
Section 12, to modify from time to time the terms and conditions, including restrictions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award, which terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees, and to approve the
form of Award Agreements; 
 (v) to accelerate at any time the exercisability or vesting of all or any portion of any Award; 

(vi) to impose any limitations on Awards, including limitations on transfers, repurchase provisions and the like, and to exercise repurchase
rights or obligations; 
 (vii) subject to Section 5(a)(ii) and any restrictions imposed by Section 409A, to extend at any time the

the Company in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising or resulting therefrom to the fullest extent permitted by law and/or under the Company’s governing documents,
including its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage which may be in effect from time to time and/or any indemnification agreement between such individual and the Company. 

(e) Foreign Award Recipients. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in order to comply with the laws in other
countries in which the Company and any Subsidiary operate or have employees or other individuals eligible for Awards, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to: (i) determine which Subsidiaries, if any, shall
be covered by the Plan; (ii) determine which individuals, if any, outside the United States are eligible to participate in the Plan; (iii) modify the terms and conditions of any Award 

  
 6 

 
granted to individuals outside the United States to comply with applicable foreign laws; (iv) establish subplans and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, to the extent
the Committee determines such actions to be necessary or advisable (and such subplans and/or modifications shall be attached to the Plan as appendices); provided, however, that no such subplans and/or modifications shall increase the
share limitation contained in Section 3(a) hereof; and (v) take any action, before or after an Award is made, that the Committee determines to be necessary or advisable to obtain approval or comply with any local governmental regulatory
exemptions or approvals. 
  

	SECTION 3.	STOCK ISSUABLE UNDER THE PLAN; MERGERS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS; SUBSTITUTION 

 (a)
Stock Issuable. The maximum number of Shares reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be 3,000,000 Shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(b). For purposes of this limitation, the Shares underlying any
Awards that are forfeited, canceled, reacquired by the Company prior to vesting, satisfied without the issuance of Stock or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) and Shares that are withheld upon exercise of an Option or settlement of an
Award to cover the exercise price or tax withholding shall be added back to the Shares available for issuance under the Plan. Subject to such overall limitations, Shares may be issued up to such maximum number pursuant to any type or types of Award.
The Shares available for issuance under the Plan may be authorized but unissued Shares or Shares reacquired by the Company. Beginning on the date that the Company becomes subject to Section 162(m) of the Code, Options with respect to no more
than 500,000 Shares shall be granted to any one individual in any calendar year period. 
 (b) Changes in Stock. Subject to
Section 3(c) hereof, if, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Company’s capital stock, the outstanding Shares are increased
or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company, or additional Shares or new or different shares or other securities of the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect to
such Shares or other securities, in each case, without the receipt of consideration by the Company, or, if, as a result of any merger or consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the outstanding Shares are
converted into or exchanged for other securities of the Company or any successor entity (or a parent or subsidiary thereof), the Committee shall make an appropriate and proportionate adjustment in (i) the maximum number of Shares reserved for
issuance under the Plan, (ii) the number and kind of Shares or other securities subject to any then outstanding Awards under the Plan, (iii) the repurchase price, if any, per Share subject to each outstanding Award, and (iv) the
exercise price for each Share subject to any then outstanding Stock Options under the Plan, without changing the aggregate exercise price (i.e., the exercise price multiplied by the number of Stock Options) as to which such Stock Options remain
exercisable. The Committee shall also make equitable or proportionate adjustments in the number of Shares subject to outstanding Awards and the exercise price and the terms of outstanding Awards to take into consideration cash dividends paid other
than in the ordinary course or any other extraordinary corporate event. The Committee shall in any event make such adjustments as may be required by Section 25102(o) of the California Corporation Code and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder. The adjustment by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional Shares shall be issued under the Plan resulting from any such adjustment, but the Committee in its discretion may make a cash payment in lieu of
fractional shares. 

  
 7 

 (c) Company Sale Events. 

(i) Options. 

(A) In the case of and subject to the consummation of a Company Sale Event, the Plan and all outstanding Options issued
hereunder shall terminate upon the effective time of any such Company Sale Event unless assumed or continued by the successor entity, or new stock options or other awards of the successor entity or parent thereof are substituted therefor, with an
equitable or proportionate adjustment as to the number and kind of shares and, if appropriate, the per share exercise prices, as such parties shall agree (after taking into account any acceleration hereunder and/or pursuant to the terms of any Award
Agreement). 
 (B) In the event of the termination of the Plan and all outstanding Options issued hereunder pursuant to
Section 3(c), each Holder of Options shall be permitted, within a period of time prior to the consummation of the Company Sale Event as specified by the Committee, to exercise all such Options which are then exercisable or will become
exercisable as of the effective time of the Company Sale Event; provided, however, that the exercise of Options not exercisable prior to the Company Sale Event shall be subject to the consummation of the Company Sale Event. 

(C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3(c)(i)(A), in the event of a Company Sale Event, the Company
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make or provide for a cash payment to the Holders of Options, without any consent of the Holders, in exchange for the cancellation thereof, in an amount equal to the difference between (A) the
value as determined by the Committee of the consideration payable per share of Stock pursuant to the Company Sale Event (the “Sale Price”) times the number of Shares subject to outstanding Options being cancelled (to the extent then vested
and exercisable, including by reason of acceleration in connection with such Company Sale Event, at prices not in excess of the Sale Price) and (B) the aggregate exercise price of all such outstanding vested and exercisable Options. 

(ii) Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards. 

(A) In the case of and subject to the consummation of a Company Sale Event, all unvested Restricted Stock and unvested
Restricted Stock Unit Awards (other than those becoming vested as a result of the Company Sale Event) issued hereunder shall be forfeited immediately prior to the effective time of any such Company Sale Event unless assumed or continued by the
successor entity, or awards of the successor entity or parent thereof are substituted therefor, with an equitable or proportionate adjustment as to the number and kind of shares subject to such awards as such parties shall agree (after taking into
account any acceleration hereunder and/or pursuant to the terms of any Award Agreement). 

  
 8 

 (B) In the event of the forfeiture of unvested Restricted Stock pursuant to
Section 3(c)(ii)(A), such Restricted Stock shall be repurchased from the Holder thereof at a price per share equal to the lower of the original per share purchase price paid by the Holder (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(b))
(or $0 if the Holder did not pay any original per share purchase price) or the current Fair Market Value of such Shares, determined immediately prior to the effective time of the Company Sale Event. 

(C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3(c)(ii)(A), in the event of a Company Sale Event, the Company
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make or provide for a cash payment to the Holders of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Awards, without consent of the Holders, in exchange for the cancellation thereof, in an amount equal to
the Sale Price times the number of Shares subject to such Awards, to be paid at the time of such Company Sale Event or upon the later vesting of such Awards. 

(d) Parent Sale Events. 

(i) Options. 

(A) Immediately prior to and subject to the consummation of a Parent Sale Event, all outstanding Options issued hereunder shall
automatically convert into the right to purchase Preferred Shares of Parent (“Parent Options”) for the same number of shares with the same exercise price per share, with an equitable or proportionate adjustment as to the number of
shares and, if appropriate, the per share exercise prices, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.424-1. Subject to the consummation of a Parent Sale Event, the Plan and all outstanding Parent Options issued hereunder shall terminate
upon the effective time of any such Parent Sale Event unless assumed or continued by the successor entity, or new stock options or other awards of the successor entity or parent thereof are substituted therefor, with an equitable or proportionate
adjustment as to the number and kind of shares and, if appropriate, the per share exercise prices, as such parties shall agree (after taking into account any acceleration hereunder and/or pursuant to the terms of any Award Agreement). 

(B) In the event of the termination of the Plan and all outstanding Preferred Options pursuant to Section 3(d), each
Holder of Parent Options shall be permitted, within a period of time prior to the consummation of the Parent Sale Event as specified by the Committee, to exercise all such Parent Options which are then exercisable or will become exercisable as of
the effective time of the Parent Sale Event; provided, however, that the exercise of Parent Options not exercisable prior to the Parent Sale Event shall be subject to the consummation of the Parent Sale Event. 

(C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3(d)(i)(A), in the event of a Parent Sale Event, Parent shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to make or provide for a cash payment to the Holders of Parent Options, without any consent of the Holders, in exchange for the cancellation thereof, in an amount equal to the difference between (A) the value
as determined by Parent of the consideration payable per Preferred Share pursuant to the Parent Sale Event (the “Parent Sale Price”) 

  
 9 

 
times the number of Preferred Shares subject to outstanding Parent Options being cancelled (to the extent then vested and exercisable, including by reason of acceleration in connection with such
Parent Sale Event, at prices not in excess of the Parent Sale Price) and (B) the aggregate exercise price of all such outstanding vested and exercisable Parent Options. 

(ii) Restricted Stock and Shares Issued upon Exercise of Stock Options. 

(A) Immediately prior to and subject to the consummation of a Parent Sale Event, all Shares acquired upon exercise of a Stock
Option, all Shares of Restricted Stock (whether or not vested) and all Shares of Unrestricted Stock issued hereunder shall automatically convert into Preferred Shares (collectively, the “Conversion Shares”), with an equitable or
proportionate adjustment as to such number of shares and, if applicable, the original per share purchase price paid by the Holder for such Shares. Subject to the consummation of a Parent Sale Event, all unvested Conversion Shares shall be forfeited
immediately prior to the effective time of any such Parent Sale Event unless assumed or continued by the successor entity, or awards of the successor entity or parent thereof are substituted therefor, with an equitable or proportionate adjustment as
to the number and kind of shares subject to such awards as such parties shall agree (after taking into account any acceleration hereunder and/or pursuant to the terms of any Award Agreement). 

(B) In the event of the forfeiture of unvested Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 3(d)(ii)(A), such Conversion Shares
shall be repurchased from the Holder thereof at a price per share equal to the lower of the original per share purchase price paid by the Holder (subject to adjustment in connection with the conversion to the Conversion Shares) (or $0 if the Holder
did not pay any original per share purchase price) or the current Fair Market Value of such Conversion Shares, determined immediately prior to the effective time of the Parent Sale Event. 

(C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3(d)(ii)(A), in the event of a Parent Sale Event, Parent shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to make or provide for a cash payment to the Holders of unvested Conversion Shares, without consent of the Holders, in exchange for the cancellation thereof, in an amount equal to the Sale Price times the
number of Conversion Shares subject to such Awards, to be paid at the time of such Parent Sale Event or upon the later vesting of such Awards. 

(iii) Restricted Stock Unit Awards. 

(A) Immediately prior to and subject to the consummation of a Parent Sale Event, all unvested Restricted Stock Unit Awards
(other than those becoming vested as a result of the Parent Sale Event) issued hereunder shall automatically convert into phantom stock units that shall be settled in Preferred Shares (“Parent RSUs”), with an equitable or
proportionate adjustment as to the number of shares subject to such Awards. Subject to the consummation of a Parent Sale Event, all unvested Parent RSUs shall be forfeited immediately prior to the effective time of any such Parent Sale Event unless
assumed or continued by the successor entity, or awards of the successor entity or parent thereof are substituted therefor, with an equitable or proportionate adjustment as to the number and kind of shares subject to such awards as such parties
shall agree (after taking into account any acceleration hereunder and/or pursuant to the terms of any Award Agreement). 

  
 10 

 (B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3(d)(iii)(A), in the
event of a Parent Sale Event, Parent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make or provide for a cash payment to the Holders of Parent RSUs, without consent of the Holders, in exchange for the cancellation thereof, in an amount equal to
the Parent Sale Price times the number of Preferred Shares subject to such Awards, to be paid at the time of such Parent Sale Event or upon the later vesting of such Awards. 

(iv) Committee Discretion. The Committee shall be authorized to make any and all determinations, in its sole discretion, that are
necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of this Section 3(d). Such authority shall include, but shall not be limited to, authority to cause the conversion of outstanding Options into Parent Options to comply with the requirements of
Treasury Regulation Section 1.424-1, and to make any other determinations necessary or appropriate to ensure that the intrinsic value of any Parent Options, Conversion Shares and Parent RSUs payable to any Holder pursuant to this
Section 3(d) does not exceed the intrinsic value of the Options, Shares and Restricted Stock Unit Awards, respectively, from which such Parent Options, Conversion Shares and Parent RSUs are converted. 

 

	SECTION 4.	ELIGIBILITY 

 Grantees under the Plan will be such full or part-time officers and other
employees, directors, Consultants and key persons of Parent, the Company and any Subsidiary who are selected from time to time by the Committee in its sole discretion; provided, however, that Awards shall be granted only to those
individuals described in Rule 701(c) of the Securities Act. 
  

	SECTION 5.	STOCK OPTIONS 

 Upon the grant of a Stock Option, the Company and the grantee shall enter
into an Award Agreement. The terms and conditions of each such Award Agreement shall be determined by the Committee, and such terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees. 

Stock Options granted under the Plan may be either Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options may be
granted only to employees of the Company or any Subsidiary that is a “subsidiary corporation” within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code. To the extent that any Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall be
deemed a Non-Qualified Stock Option. 
 (a) Terms of Stock Options. The Committee in its discretion may grant Stock Options to those
individuals who meet the eligibility requirements of Section 4. Stock Options shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the
Committee shall deem desirable. 

  
 11 

 (i) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share for the Shares covered by a Stock Option
shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant but shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the exercise price per
share for the Shares covered by such Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date. 

(ii) Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten
years from the Grant Date. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the term of such Stock Option shall be no more than five years from the Grant Date. 

(iii) Exercisability; Rights of a Stockholder. Stock Options shall become exercisable and/or vested at such time or times, whether or
not in installments, as shall be determined by the Committee at or after the Grant Date. The Award Agreement may permit a grantee to exercise all or a portion of a Stock Option immediately at grant; provided that the Shares issued upon such exercise
shall be subject to restrictions and a vesting schedule identical to the vesting schedule of the related Stock Option, such Shares shall be deemed to be Restricted Stock for purposes of the Plan, and the optionee may be required to enter into an
additional or new Award Agreement as a condition to exercise of such Stock Option. An optionee shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to Shares acquired upon the exercise of a Stock Option and not as to unexercised Stock Options. An optionee
shall not be deemed to have acquired any Shares unless and until a Stock Option shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms of the Award Agreement and this Plan and the optionee’s name has been entered on the books of the Company as a
stockholder. 
 (iv) Method of Exercise. Stock Options may be exercised by an optionee in whole or in part, by the optionee giving
written or electronic notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the number of Shares to be purchased. Payment of the purchase price may be made by one or more of the following methods (or any combination thereof) to the extent provided in the
Award Agreement: 
 (A) In cash, by certified or bank check, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, or other
instrument acceptable to the Committee; 
 (B) If permitted by the Committee, by the optionee delivering to the Company a
promissory note, if the Board has expressly authorized the loan of funds to the optionee for the purpose of enabling or assisting the optionee to effect the exercise of his or her Stock Option; provided, that at least so much of the exercise
price as represents the par value of the Stock shall be paid in cash if required by state law; 
 (C) If permitted by the
Committee and the Company’s Initial Public Offering has occurred (or the Stock otherwise becomes publicly-traded), through the delivery (or attestation to the ownership) of Shares that have been purchased by the optionee on the open market or
that are beneficially owned by the optionee and are not then subject to restrictions under any Company plan. To the extent required to avoid variable accounting treatment under ASC 718 or other applicable accounting rules, such surrendered Shares if
originally purchased from the Company shall have been owned by the optionee for at least six months. Such surrendered Shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise date; 

  
 12 

 (D) If permitted by the Committee and the Company’s Initial Public Offering
has occurred (or the Stock otherwise becomes publicly-traded), by the optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check
payable and acceptable to the Company for the purchase price; provided that in the event the optionee chooses to pay the purchase price as so provided, the optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures and enter into such
agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Committee shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure; or 

(E) If permitted by the Committee, and only with respect to Stock Options that are not Incentive Stock Options, by a “net
exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of Shares issuable upon exercise by the largest whole number of Shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price. 

Payment instruments will be received subject to collection. No certificates for Shares so purchased will be issued to the optionee or, with
respect to uncertificated Stock, no transfer to the optionee on the records of the Company will take place, until the Company has completed all steps it has deemed necessary to satisfy legal requirements relating to the issuance and sale of the
Shares, which steps may include, without limitation, (i) receipt of a representation from the optionee at the time of exercise of the Option that the optionee is purchasing the Shares for the optionee’s own account and not with a view to
any sale or distribution of the Shares or other representations relating to compliance with applicable law governing the issuance of securities, (ii) the legending of the certificate (or notation on any book entry) representing the Shares to
evidence the foregoing restrictions, and (iii) obtaining from optionee payment or provision for all withholding taxes due as a result of the exercise of the Option. The delivery of certificates representing the shares of Stock (or the transfer
to the optionee on the records of the Company with respect to uncertificated Stock) to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option will be contingent upon (A) receipt from the optionee (or a purchaser acting in his or her stead in
accordance with the provisions of the Stock Option) by the Company of the full purchase price for such Shares and the fulfillment of any other requirements contained in the Award Agreement or applicable provisions of laws and (B) if required by
the Company, the optionee shall have entered into any stockholders agreements or other agreements with the Company and/or certain other of the Company’s stockholders relating to the Stock. In the event an optionee chooses to pay the purchase
price by previously-owned Shares through the attestation method, the number of Shares transferred to the optionee upon the exercise of the Stock Option shall be net of the number of Shares attested to. 

(b) Annual Limit on Incentive Stock Options. To the extent required for “incentive stock option” treatment under
Section 422 of the Code, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Grant Date) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan and any other plan of the Company or its parent and any Subsidiary
that become exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000 or such other limit as may be in effect from time to time under Section 422 of the Code. To the extent that any Stock Option exceeds
this limit, it shall constitute a Non-Qualified Stock Option. 

  
 13 

 (c) Termination. Any portion of a Stock Option that is not vested and exercisable on the
date of termination of an optionee’s Service Relationship shall immediately expire and be null and void. Once any portion of the Stock Option becomes vested and exercisable, the optionee’s right to exercise such portion of the Stock Option
(or the optionee’s representatives and legatees as applicable) in the event of a termination of the optionee’s Service Relationship shall continue until the earliest of: (i) the date which is: (A) twelve months following the date
on which the optionee’s Service Relationship terminates due to death or Disability (or such longer period of time as determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement), or (B) three months following the date on
which the optionee’s Service Relationship terminates if the termination is due to any reason other than death or Disability (or such longer period of time as determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement), or
(ii) the Expiration Date set forth in the Award Agreement; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, an Award Agreement may provide that if the optionee’s Service Relationship is terminated for Cause, the Stock Option shall
terminate immediately and be null and void upon the date of the optionee’s termination and shall not thereafter be exercisable. 
  

	SECTION 6.	RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS 

 (a) Nature of Restricted Stock Awards. The Committee
may, in its sole discretion, grant (or sell at par value or such other purchase price determined by the Committee) to an eligible individual under Section 4 hereof a Restricted Stock Award under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the
restrictions and conditions applicable to each Restricted Stock Award at the time of grant. Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other Service Relationship), achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives and/or such
other criteria as the Committee may determine. Upon the grant of a Restricted Stock Award, the Company and the grantee shall enter into an Award Agreement. The terms and conditions of each such Award Agreement shall be determined by the Committee,
and such terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees. 
 (b) Rights as a Stockholder. Upon the grant of the
Restricted Stock Award and payment of any applicable purchase price, a grantee of Restricted Stock shall be considered the record owner of and shall be entitled to vote the Restricted Stock if, and to the extent, such Shares are entitled to voting
rights, subject to such conditions contained in the Award Agreement. The grantee shall be entitled to receive all dividends and any other distributions declared on the Shares; provided, however, that the Company is under no duty to
declare any such dividends or to make any such distribution. Unless the Committee shall otherwise determine, certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock shall remain in the possession of the Company until such Restricted Stock is vested as provided
in subsection (d) below of this Section, and the grantee shall be required, as a condition of the grant, to deliver to the Company a stock power endorsed in blank and such other instruments of transfer as the Committee may prescribe. 

  
 14 

 (c) Restrictions. Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or
otherwise encumbered or disposed of except as specifically provided herein or in the Award Agreement. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Committee either in the Award Agreement or, subject to Section 12 below, in writing after the Award
Agreement is issued, if a grantee’s Service Relationship with the Company and any Subsidiary terminates, the Company or its assigns shall have the right, as may be specified in the relevant instrument, to repurchase some or all of the Shares
subject to the Award at such purchase price as is set forth in the Award Agreement. 
 (d) Vesting of Restricted Stock. The Committee
at the time of grant shall specify in the Award Agreement the date or dates and/or the attainment of pre-established performance goals, objectives and other conditions on which the substantial risk of
forfeiture imposed shall lapse and the Restricted Stock shall become vested, subject to such further rights of the Company or its assigns as may be specified in the Award Agreement. 

 

	SECTION 7.	UNRESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS 

 The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant (or sell at
par value or such other purchase price determined by the Committee) to an eligible person under Section 4 hereof an Unrestricted Stock Award under the Plan. Unrestricted Stock Awards may be granted in respect of past services or other valid
consideration, or in lieu of cash compensation due to such grantee. 
  

	SECTION 8.	RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS 

 (a) Nature of Restricted Stock Units. The Committee may,
in its sole discretion, grant to an eligible person under Section 4 hereof Restricted Stock Units under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the restrictions and conditions applicable to each Restricted Stock Unit at the time of grant.
Vesting conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other Service Relationship), achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives and/or other such criteria as the Committee may determine. Upon the grant of Restricted Stock
Units, the grantee and the Company shall enter into an Award Agreement. The terms and conditions of each such Award Agreement shall be determined by the Committee and may differ among individual Awards and grantees. On or promptly following the
vesting date or dates applicable to any Restricted Stock Unit, but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the year in which such vesting occurs, such Restricted Stock Unit(s) shall be settled in the form of cash or shares of
Stock, as specified in the Award Agreement. Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of. 

(b) Rights as a Stockholder. A grantee shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to Shares, if any, acquired upon settlement of
Restricted Stock Units. A grantee shall not be deemed to have acquired any such Shares unless and until the Restricted Stock Units shall have been settled in Shares pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the Award Agreement, the Company shall have
issued and delivered a certificate representing the Shares to the grantee (or transferred on the records of the Company with respect to uncertificated stock), and the grantee’s name has been entered in the books of the Company as a stockholder.

  
 15 

 (c) Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Committee either in the Award
Agreement or in writing after the Award Agreement is issued, a grantee’s right in all Restricted Stock Units that have not vested shall automatically terminate upon the grantee’s cessation of Service Relationship with the Company and any
Subsidiary for any reason. 
  

	SECTION 9.	TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS; COMPANY RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL; COMPANY REPURCHASE RIGHTS 

 (a)
Restrictions on Transfer. 
 (i) Non-Transferability of Stock Options. Stock Options and, prior to exercise, the Shares
issuable upon exercise of such Stock Option, shall not be transferable by the optionee otherwise than by will, or by the laws of descent and distribution, and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the optionee’s lifetime, only by the
optionee, or by the optionee’s legal representative or guardian in the event of the optionee’s incapacity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide in the Award Agreement regarding a given Stock
Option that the optionee may transfer by gift, without consideration for the transfer, his or her Non-Qualified Stock Options to his or her family members (as defined in Rule 701 of the Securities Act), to
trusts for the benefit of such family members, or to partnerships in which such family members are the only partners (to the extent such trusts or partnerships are considered “family members” for purposes of Rule 701 of the Securities
Act), provided that the transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, including the execution of a stock power upon the issuance of Shares. Stock
Options, and the Shares issuable upon exercise of such Stock Options, shall be restricted as to any pledge, hypothecation, or other transfer, including any short position, any “put equivalent position” (as defined in the Exchange Act) or
any “call equivalent position” (as defined in the Exchange Act) prior to exercise. 
 (ii) Shares. No Shares shall be sold,
assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given away or in any other manner disposed of or encumbered, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, unless (i) the transfer is in compliance with the terms of the applicable Award Agreement,
all applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act), and with the terms and conditions of this Section 9, (ii) the transfer does not cause the Company to become subject to the reporting requirements of the
Exchange Act, and (iii) the transferee consents in writing to be bound by the provisions of the Plan and the Award Agreement, including this Section 9. In connection with any proposed transfer, the Committee may require the transferor to
provide at the transferor’s own expense an opinion of counsel to the transferor, satisfactory to the Committee, that such transfer is in compliance with all foreign, federal and state securities laws (including, without limitation, the
Securities Act). Any attempted transfer of Shares not in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 9 shall be null and void, and the Company shall not reflect on its records any change in record ownership of any Shares as a
result of any such transfer, shall otherwise refuse to recognize any such transfer and shall not in any way give effect to any such transfer of Shares. The Company shall be entitled to seek protective orders, injunctive relief and other remedies
available at law or in equity including, without limitation, seeking specific performance or the rescission of any transfer not made in strict compliance with the provisions of this Section 9. Subject to the

  
 16 

 
foregoing general provisions, and unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, Shares may be transferred pursuant to the following specific terms and conditions (provided that
with respect to any transfer of Restricted Stock, all vesting and forfeiture provisions shall continue to apply with respect to the original recipient): 

(A) Transfers to Permitted Transferees. The Holder may transfer any or all of the Shares to one or more Permitted
Transferees; provided, however, that following such transfer, such Shares shall continue to be subject to the terms of this Plan (including this Section 9) and such Permitted Transferee(s) shall, as a condition to any such transfer,
deliver a written acknowledgment to that effect to the Company and shall deliver a stock power to the Company with respect to the Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may not transfer any of the Shares to a Person whom the Company
reasonably determines is a direct competitor or a potential competitor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 
 (B)
Transfers Upon Death. Upon the death of the Holder, any Shares then held by the Holder at the time of such death and any Shares acquired after the Holder’s death by the Holder’s legal representative shall be subject to the
provisions of this Plan, and the Holder’s estate, executors, administrators, personal representatives, heirs, legatees and distributees shall be obligated to convey such Shares to the Company or its assigns under the terms contemplated by the
Plan and the Award Agreement. 
 (b) Right of First Refusal. In the event that a Holder desires at any time to sell or otherwise
transfer all or any part of his or her Shares (other than shares of Restricted Stock which by their terms are not transferrable), the Holder first shall give written notice to the Company of the Holder’s intention to make such transfer. Such
notice shall state the number of Shares that the Holder proposes to sell (the “Offered Shares”), the price and the terms at which the proposed sale is to be made and the name and address of the proposed transferee. At any time within 30
days after the receipt of such notice by the Company, the Company or its assigns may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Offered Shares at the price and on the terms offered by the proposed transferee and specified in the notice. The Company
or its assigns shall exercise this right by mailing or delivering written notice to the Holder within the foregoing 30-day period. If the Company or its assigns elect to exercise its purchase rights under this Section 9(b), the closing for such
purchase shall, in any event, take place within 45 days after the receipt by the Company of the initial notice from the Holder. In the event that the Company or its assigns do not elect to exercise such purchase right, or in the event that the
Company or its assigns do not pay the full purchase price within such 45-day period, the Holder may, within 60 days thereafter, sell the Offered Shares to the proposed transferee and at the same price and on the same terms as specified in the
Holder’s notice. Any Shares not sold to the proposed transferee shall remain subject to the Plan. If the Holder is a party to any stockholders agreements or other agreements with the Company and/or certain other of the Company’s
stockholders relating to the Shares, (i) the transferring Holder shall comply with the requirements of such stockholders agreements or other agreements relating to any proposed transfer of the Offered Shares, and (ii) any proposed
transferee that purchases Offered Shares shall enter into such stockholders agreements or other agreements with the Company and/or certain of the Company’s stockholders relating to the Offered Shares on the same terms and in the same capacity
as the transferring Holder. 

  
 17 

 (c) Company’s Right of Repurchase. 

(i) Right of Repurchase for Shares Issued Upon the Exercise of an Option. Parent or the Company shall have the right and option upon a
Repurchase Event to repurchase from a Holder some or all (as determined by Parent or the Company, as applicable) of the Shares acquired upon exercise of a Stock Option by such Holder at the price per share specified below. In addition, upon a
Termination Event, Parent or the Company shall have the right and option to repurchase from a Holder of Shares acquired upon exercise of a Stock Option which are still subject to a risk of forfeiture as of the Termination Event. Such repurchase
rights may be exercised by the Company within the later of (A) six months following the date of such Repurchase Event or (B) seven months after the acquisition of Shares upon exercise of a Stock Option. The repurchase price shall be equal
to (i) in the case of Shares that are not subject to a risk of forfeiture as of the Repurchase Event, the Fair Market Value of the Shares, determined as of the date the Parent or the Committee elects to exercise its repurchase rights in
connection with a Repurchase Event and (ii) in the case of Shares that are still subject to a risk of forfeiture as of the Repurchase Event or Termination Event (as applicable), the lower of the original per share price paid by the Holder,
subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(b) of the Plan, or the current Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date Parent or the Company elects to exercise its repurchase rights in connection with a Repurchase Event or Termination
Event (as applicable). 
 (ii) Right of Repurchase With Respect to Restricted Stock and Shares issued pursuant to an Unrestricted Stock Award
or Restricted Stock Unit Award. Unless otherwise set forth in the Award Agreement in connection with a Restricted Stock Award, Unrestricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award, Parent or the Company shall have the right and option upon a
Repurchase Event to repurchase from a Holder of Shares received pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award, Unrestricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award some or all (as determined by Parent or the Company, as applicable) of such Shares at the
price per share specified below. In addition, upon a Termination Event, Parent or the Company shall have the right and option to repurchase from a Holder of Shares received pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award any Shares that are still subject to a
risk of forfeiture as of the Termination Event. Such repurchase right may be exercised by Parent or the Company, as applicable, within six months following the date of such Repurchase Event or Termination Event as applicable. The repurchase price
shall be (i) in the case of Shares that are vested as of the date of the Repurchase Event, the Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date the Company elects to exercise its repurchase rights in connection with a Repurchase Event and
(ii) in the case of Shares that are still subject to a risk of forfeiture as of the date of the Repurchase Event or Termination Event (as applicable), the lower of the original per share purchase price paid by the Holder, subject to adjustment
as provided in Section 3(b) of the Plan (or $0 if the Holder did not pay any original per share purchase price), or the current Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date Parent or the Company elects to exercise its repurchase rights in
connection with a Repurchase Event or Termination Event (as applicable). 
 (iii) Procedure. Any repurchase right of Parent or the
Company shall be exercised by Parent or the Company by giving the Holder written notice on or before the last day of the repurchase period of its intention to exercise such repurchase right. Upon such notification, the Holder shall promptly
surrender to Parent or the Company, free and clear of any 

  
 18 

 
liens or encumbrances, any certificates representing the Shares being purchased, together with a duly executed stock power for the transfer of such Shares to Parent or the Company. Upon
Parent’s or the Company’s receipt of the certificates from the Holder, Parent or the Company shall deliver to him, her or them a check for the applicable repurchase price; provided, however, that Parent or the Company may pay the
repurchase price by offsetting and canceling any indebtedness then owed by the Holder to Parent or the Company. 
 (d) Escrow
Arrangement. 
 (i) Escrow. In order to carry out the provisions of this Section 9 of this Plan more effectively, the Company
shall hold any Shares issued pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan in escrow together with separate stock powers executed by the Holder in blank for transfer. The Company shall not dispose of the Shares except as otherwise provided in this Plan.
In the event of any repurchase by Parent or the Company, the Company is hereby authorized by the Holder, as the Holder’s attorney-in-fact, to date and complete the stock powers necessary for the transfer of the Shares being purchased and to
transfer such Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. At such time as any Shares are no longer subject to Parent’s or the Company’s repurchase and first refusal rights, the Company shall, at the written request of the Holder, deliver
to the Holder a certificate representing such Shares with the balance of the Shares to be held in escrow pursuant to this Section. 
 (ii)
Remedy. Without limitation of any other provision of this Plan or other rights, in the event that a Holder or any other Person is required to sell a Holder’s Shares pursuant to the provisions of Sections 9(b) or (c) hereof and in
the further event that he or she refuses or for any reason fails to deliver to Parent or the Company of such Shares the certificate or certificates evidencing such Shares together with a related stock power, Parent or the Company may deposit the
applicable purchase price for such Shares with a bank designated by Parent or the Company, or with the Company’s independent public accounting firm, as agent or trustee, or in escrow, for such Holder or other Person, to be held by such bank or
accounting firm for the benefit of and for delivery to him, her, them or it, and/or, in its discretion, pay such purchase price by offsetting any indebtedness then owed by such Holder as provided above. Upon any such deposit and/or offset by the
Company or its designated purchaser of such amount and upon notice to the Person who was required to sell the Shares to be sold pursuant to the provisions of Sections 9(b) or (c), such Shares shall at such time be deemed to have been sold, assigned,
transferred and conveyed to such purchaser, such Holder shall have no further rights thereto (other than the right to withdraw the payment thereof held in escrow, if applicable), and the Company shall record such transfer in its stock transfer book
or in any appropriate manner. 
 (e) Lockup Provision. If requested by the Company, a Holder shall not sell or otherwise transfer or
dispose of any Shares (including, without limitation, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) held by him or her for such period following the effective date of a public offering by the Company of Shares as the Company shall specify
reasonably and in good faith. If requested by the underwriter engaged by the Company, each Holder shall execute a separate letter confirming his or her agreement to comply with this Section. 

  
 19 

 (f) Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure. If, as a result of any reorganization,
recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Common Stock, the outstanding Shares are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of securities of the
Company, the restrictions contained in this Section 9 shall apply with equal force to additional and/or substitute securities, if any, received by Holder in exchange for, or by virtue of his or her ownership of, Shares. 

(g) Termination. The terms and provisions of Section 9(b) and Section 9(c) (except for the Company’s right to repurchase
Shares still subject to a risk of forfeiture upon a Termination Event) shall terminate upon the closing of the Company’s Initial Public Offering or upon consummation of any Company Sale Event, in either case as a result of which Shares are
registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and publicly-traded on any national security exchange. 
  

	SECTION 10.	TAX WITHHOLDING 

 (a) Payment by Grantee. Each grantee shall, no later than the
date as of which the value of an Award or of any Shares or other amounts received thereunder first becomes includable in the gross income of the grantee for income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee
regarding payment of, any Federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld by the Company with respect to such income. The Company and any Subsidiary shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such
taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the grantee. The Company’s obligation to deliver stock certificates (or evidence of book entry) to any grantee is subject to and conditioned on any such tax withholding obligations being
satisfied by the grantee. 
 (b) Payment in Stock. The Company’s minimum required tax withholding obligation may be satisfied, in
whole or in part, by the Company withholding from Shares to be issued pursuant to an Award a number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the minimum withholding amount due.

  

	SECTION 11.	SECTION 409A AWARDS. 

 To the extent that any Award is determined to constitute
“nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A (a “409A Award”), the Award shall be subject to such additional rules and requirements as may be specified by the Committee from time to time. In this
regard, if any amount under a 409A Award is payable upon a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A) to a grantee who is considered a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A), then
no such payment shall be made prior to the date that is the earlier of (i) six months and one day after the grantee’s separation from service, or (ii) the grantee’s death, but only to the extent such delay is necessary to prevent
such payment from being subject to interest, penalties and/or additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A. The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to any grantee under the Plan or any other Person with
respect to any penalties or taxes under Section 409A that are, or may be, imposed with respect to any Award. 

  
 20 

	SECTION 12.	AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION 

 The Board may, at any time, amend or discontinue the Plan
and the Committee may, at any time, amend or cancel any outstanding Award for the purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, but no such action shall adversely affect rights under any outstanding Award without the consent
of the holder of the Award. The Committee may exercise its discretion to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Stock Options or effect repricing through cancellation of outstanding Stock Options and by granting such holders new Awards in
replacement of the cancelled Stock Options. To the extent determined by the Committee to be required either by the Code to ensure that Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan are qualified under Section 422 of the Code or otherwise, Plan
amendments shall be subject to approval by the Company stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders. Nothing in this Section 12 shall limit the Board’s or Committee’s authority to take any action permitted pursuant to
Section 3(c). The Board reserves the right to amend the Plan and/or the terms of any outstanding Stock Options to the extent reasonably necessary to comply with the requirements of the exemption pursuant to paragraph (f)(4) of Rule 12h-1 of the
Exchange Act. 
  

	SECTION 13.	STATUS OF PLAN 

 With respect to the portion of any Award that has not been exercised and
any payments in cash, Stock or other consideration not received by a grantee, a grantee shall have no rights greater than those of a general creditor of the Company unless the Committee shall otherwise expressly so determine in connection with any
Award. 
  

	SECTION 14.	GENERAL PROVISIONS 

 (a) No Distribution; Compliance with Legal Requirements. The
Committee may require each person acquiring Shares pursuant to an Award to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the Shares without a view to distribution thereof. No Shares shall be issued pursuant to an
Award until all applicable securities law and other legal and stock exchange or similar requirements have been satisfied. The Committee may require the placing of such stop-orders and restrictive legends on certificates for Stock and Awards as it
deems appropriate. 
 (b) Delivery of Stock Certificates. Stock certificates to grantees under the Plan shall be deemed delivered for
all purposes when the Company or a stock transfer agent of the Company shall have mailed such certificates in the United States mail, addressed to the grantee, at the grantee’s last known address on file with the Company; provided that stock
certificates to be held in escrow pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan shall be deemed delivered when the Company shall have recorded the issuance in its records. Uncertificated Stock shall be deemed delivered for all purposes when the Company or
a stock transfer agent of the Company shall have given to the grantee by electronic mail (with proof of receipt) or by United States mail, addressed to the grantee, at the grantee’s last known address on file with the Company, notice of
issuance and recorded the issuance in its records (which may include electronic “book entry” records). 

  
 21 

 (c) No Employment Rights. The adoption of the Plan and the grant of Awards do not
confer upon any Person any right to continued employment or Service Relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary. 
 (d) Trading Policy
Restrictions. Option exercises and other Awards under the Plan shall be subject to the Company’s insider trading policy-related restrictions, terms and conditions as may be established by the Committee, or in accordance with policies set by
the Committee, from time to time. 
 (e) Designation of Beneficiary. Each grantee to whom an Award has been made under the Plan may
designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise any Award on or after the grantee’s death or receive any payment under any Award payable on or after the grantee’s death. Any such designation shall be on a form provided for that
purpose by the Committee and shall not be effective until received by the Committee. If no beneficiary has been designated by a deceased grantee, or if the designated beneficiaries have predeceased the grantee, the beneficiary shall be the
grantee’s estate. 
 (f) Legend. Any certificate(s) representing the Shares shall carry substantially the following legend (and
with respect to uncertificated Stock, the book entries evidencing such shares shall contain the following notation): 
 The transferability
of this certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions (including repurchase and restrictions against transfers) contained in the Northern Power Systems Utility Scale, Inc. 2011 Stock
Option and Grant Plan and any agreements entered into thereunder by and between the company and the holder of this certificate (a copy of which is available at the offices of the company for examination). 

(g) Information to Holders of Options. In the event the Company is relying on the exemption from the registration requirements of
Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act contained in paragraph (f)(1) of Rule 12h-1 of the Exchange Act, the Company shall provide the information described in Rule 701(e)(3), (4) and (5) of the Securities Act to all holders of Options in
accordance with the requirements thereunder. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to provide such information unless the optionholder has agreed in writing, on a form prescribed by the Company, to keep such information
confidential. 
  

	SECTION 15.	EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN 

 The Plan shall become effective upon adoption by the Board and
shall be approved by stockholders in accordance with applicable state law and the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws within 12 months thereafter. If the stockholders fail to approve the Plan within 12 months after its adoption by
the Board of Directors, then any Awards granted or sold under the Plan shall be rescinded and no additional grants or sales shall thereafter be made under the Plan. Subject to such approval by stockholders and to the requirement that no Shares may
be issued hereunder prior to such approval, Stock Options and other Awards may be granted hereunder on 

  
 22 

 
and after adoption of the Plan by the Board. No grants of Stock Options and other Awards may be made hereunder after the tenth anniversary of the date the Plan is adopted by the Board or the date
the Plan is approved by the Company’s stockholders, whichever is earlier. 
  

	SECTION 16.	GOVERNING LAW 

 This Plan, all Awards and any controversy arising out of or relating to
this Plan and all Awards shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State
of Delaware. 
  

			
	DATE ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS:          August 9, 2011

 For purposes hereof, the
Committee’s determination of the reason for termination of the Optionee’s Service Relationship shall be conclusive and binding on the Optionee and his or her representatives or legatees and any Permitted Transferee. Any portion of this

 7. Dispute Resolution. 

(a) Except as provided below, any dispute arising out of or relating to the Plan or this Stock Option, this Agreement, or the breach,
termination or validity of the Plan, this Stock Option or this Agreement, shall be finally settled by binding arbitration conducted expeditiously in accordance with the J.A.M.S./Endispute Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the
“J.A.M.S. Rules”). The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place
of arbitration shall be The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 
 (b) The arbitration shall commence within 60 days of the date on which a
written demand for arbitration is filed by any party hereto. In connection with the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall have the power to order the production of documents by each party and any third-party witnesses. In addition, each party
may take up to three depositions as of right, and the arbitrator may in his or her discretion allow additional depositions upon good cause shown by the moving party. However, the arbitrator shall not have the power to order the answering of
interrogatories or the response to requests for admission. In connection with any arbitration, each party to the arbitration shall provide to the other, no later than seven business days before the date of the arbitration, the identity of all
persons that may testify at the arbitration

5and a copy of all documents that may be introduced at the arbitration or considered or used by a party’s witness or expert. The arbitrator’s decision and award shall be made and
delivered within six months of the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision shall set forth a reasoned basis for any award of damages or finding of liability. The arbitrator shall not have power to award damages in excess of
actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages. 

(c) The Company, the Optionee, each party to the Agreement and any other holder of Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement (each, a
“Party”) covenants and agrees that such party will participate in the arbitration in good faith. This Section 7 applies equally to requests for temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, except that in the case of
temporary or preliminary injunctive relief any party may proceed in court without prior arbitration for the limited purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm. 

(d) Each Party (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any United States District Court of competent jurisdiction for the
purpose of enforcing the award or decision in any such proceeding, (ii) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally
to the jurisdiction of the above named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution (except as protected by applicable law), that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the
suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court, and (iii) hereby waives and agrees not to seek any review by any court of any other jurisdiction which may be
called upon to grant an enforcement of the judgment of any such court. Each Party hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given. Each Party agrees that its, his or her submission to
jurisdiction and its, his or her consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of each other Party. Final judgment against any Party in any such action, suit or proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit,
action or proceeding on the judgment, or in any other manner provided by or pursuant to the laws of such other jurisdiction.

in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 and under any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws (or exemptions from the registration

the Plan, including without limitation, the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 9 of the Plan.
