Award are forfeited, such shares shall become available for future grant under the Plan. 
  
 4. Administration of the Plan. 
  
 (a) Procedure. 
  
 (i) Multiple
Administrative Bodies. The Plan may be administered by different Compensation Committees with respect to different groups of Service Providers. 
  
 (ii) Section 162(m). To the extent that the Administrator determines it to be desirable to qualify Options granted hereunder as

transactions hereunder as exempt under Rule 16b-3, the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be structured to satisfy the requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3. 
  
 (iv) Other Administration. Other than as provided above, the Plan shall be administered by the Compensation
Committee, which shall be constituted to satisfy Applicable Laws. 
  

 5 

 (b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan the Administrator shall
have the authority, in its discretion: 
  
 (i) to determine the
Fair Market Value;

whom Options and Stock Awards may be granted hereunder; 
  
 (iii)
to determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by each Option and Stock Award granted hereunder; 
  
 (iv) to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan; 
  
 (v) to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Option and Stock Award granted hereunder. Such terms and
conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Options may be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or
limitation regarding any Option, Stock Award or the shares of Common Stock relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine; 
  
 (vi) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and awards granted
pursuant to the Plan; 
  
 (vii) to reduce the exercise price of
any Option to the then current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock covered by such Option has declined since the date the Option was granted; 
  
 (viii) to provide for the early exercise of Options for the purchase of unvested Shares, subject to such terms and
conditions as the Administrator may determine; 
  
 (ix) to
prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of qualifying for preferred tax treatment under foreign tax laws; 
  
 (x) to modify or amend each Option and Stock Award (subject to Section 16(c)
of the Plan), including the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercisability period of Options longer than is otherwise provided for in the Plan; 
  
 (xi) to allow Optionees to satisfy withholding tax obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to
be issued upon exercise of an Option or upon the vesting or earlier tax recognition of a Stock Award that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld
shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. All elections by an Optionee to have Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions as the Administrator may deem
necessary or advisable; 
  

 6 

 (xii) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the
grant of an Option or Stock Award previously granted by the Administrator; 
  
 (xiii) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan; 
  
 (xv) with respect to the Employee Stock Purchase Program, to construe, interpret and apply the terms of the Employee Stock Purchase Program, to determine
eligibility and to adjudicate all disputed claims filed under the Employee Stock Purchase Program. Every finding, decision and determination made by the Compensation Committee shall, to the full extent permitted by law, be final and binding upon all
parties. 
  
 (c) Effect of Administrator’s Decision.
The Administrator’s decisions, determinations and interpretations shall be final and binding on all Optionees and any other holders of Options and Stock Awards. 
  
 5. Eligibility. 
  
 (a) Discretionary Stock Options and Stock Awards. Nonstatutory Stock Options and Stock Awards may be granted to Service Providers. Incentive Stock
Options may be granted only to Employees. 
  
 (b) Employee
Stock Purchase Program. Any Eligible Employee who shall be employed by the Company on or prior to an Offering Date shall be eligible to participate in the Offering Period to which such Offering Date relates, subject to the limitations imposed by
Section 423(b) of the Code. 
  
 6. Limitations. 

 
 (a) Each Option shall be designated in the Option Agreement as either an
Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by
the Optionee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 6(a), Incentive Stock Options shall be
taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted. 
  
 (b) Neither the Plan nor any Option shall confer upon an Optionee any right with respect to continuing the Optionee’s
relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor shall they interfere in any way with the Optionee’s right or the Company’s right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause. 
  

 7 

 (c) The following limitations shall apply to grants of Options: 
  
 (i) No Service Provider shall be granted, in any fiscal year of the
Company, Options to purchase more than 2,250,000 Shares. 
  
 (ii)
In connection with his or her initial service, a Service Provider may be granted Options to purchase up to an additional 2,250,000 Shares which shall not count against the limit set forth in subsection (i) above. 
  
 (iii) The foregoing limitations shall be adjusted proportionately in
connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization as described in Section 14. 
  
 (iv) If an Option is cancelled in the same fiscal year of the Company in which it was granted (other than in connection with a transaction described in Section 14), the cancelled Option will be counted against the
limits set forth in subsections (i) and (ii) above. For this purpose, if the exercise price of an Option is reduced, the transaction will be treated as a cancellation of the Option and the grant of a new Option. 
  
 7. Term of Plan. The amendment and restatement of the Plan shall
become effective upon the date of stockholder approval of the Plan in April, 2002. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years from the date of obtaining stockholder approval of the Plan in May, 1999, unless terminated earlier under
Section 16 of the Plan. 
  
 8. Term of Option. The term of
each Option shall be stated in the Option Agreement. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the term shall be ten (10) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement. Moreover, in the case of an
Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or
Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement. 
  
 9. Option Exercise Price and Consideration. 
  
 (a) Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall
be determined by the Administrator, subject to the following: 
  
 (i) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option 
  
 A.
granted to an Employee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price
shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. 
  

 8 

 B. granted to any Employee other than an Employee described in paragraph (A) immediately above, the per
Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. 
  
 (ii) In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date
of grant. 
  
 (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be
granted with a per Share exercise price of less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a merger or other corporate transaction. 
  
 (b) Waiting Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator shall fix the period
within which the Option may be exercised and shall determine any conditions which must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised. 
  
 (c) Form of Consideration. The Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of
payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant. Such consideration may consist entirely of: 
  
 (i) cash; 
  
 (ii) check; 
  
 (iii) promissory note; 
  
 (iv) other Shares which (A) in the case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an option, have been owned by the Optionee for more than six months on the
date of surrender, and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option shall be exercised; 
  
 (v) consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with
the Plan; 
  
 (vi) any combination of the foregoing methods of
payment; or 
  
 (vii) such other consideration and method of
payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws. 
  

 9 

 10. Exercise of Option. 
  
 (a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder. Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to
the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Options granted hereunder shall be tolled during any
unpaid leave of absence. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. 
  
 An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full
payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise
of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if requested by the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly
authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be
issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 14 of the Plan. 
  
 Exercising an Option in any manner shall decrease the number of Shares
thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised. 
  
 (b) Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Optionee’s death or
Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of
such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Optionee’s termination. In the case of an Incentive Stock
Option, such period of time for exercise shall not exceed three (3) months from the date of termination. If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the
Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

  
 Notwithstanding the above, in the event of an Optionee’s
change in status from Consultant to Employee or Employee to Consultant, an Optionee’s status as a Service Provider shall not automatically terminate solely as a result of such change in status. However, in such event, an Incentive Stock Option
held by the Optionee shall cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option three months and one day following such change of status. 
  

 10 

 (c) Disability of Optionee. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the
Optionee’s Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of
the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee’s termination. If, on the date of
termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time
specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. 
  
 (d) Death of Optionee. If an Optionee dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised within such period of time as is specified in the
Option Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant), by the Optionee’s estate or by a person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but
only to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death. In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee’s termination. If, at the time of
death, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan. The Option may be exercised by the executor or administrator of the Optionee’s
estate or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to exercise the Option under the Optionee’s will or the laws of descent or distribution. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the
Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. 
  
 (e)
Buyout Provisions. The Administrator may at any time offer to buy out for a payment in cash or Shares an Option previously granted based on such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the Optionee at the
time that such offer is made. 
  
 11. Employee Stock Purchase
Program. 
  
 (a) Eligibility. 
  
 (i) Any Employee who shall be employed by the Company on a given Enrollment
Date shall be eligible to participate in the Program. 
  
 (ii)
Any provisions of the Program to the contrary notwithstanding, no Employee shall be granted an option under the Program (i) to the extent that, immediately after the grant, such Employee (or any other person whose stock would be attributed to such
Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code) would own capital stock of the Company and/or hold outstanding options to purchase such stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of the
capital stock of the Company or of any Subsidiary, or (ii) to the extent that his or her rights to purchase stock under all employee stock 

  

 11 

 
purchase plans of the Company and its subsidiaries accrues at a rate which exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) worth of stock (determined at the
fair market value of the shares at the time such option is granted) for each calendar year in which such option is outstanding at any time. 
  
 (b) Offering Periods. The Program shall be implemented by consecutive Offering Periods with a new Offering Period commencing on the first Trading
Day on or after February 1 and August 1 each year, or on such other date as the Compensation Committee shall determine, and continuing thereafter until terminated in accordance with Section 16 hereof. The Compensation Committee shall have the power
to change the duration of Offering Periods (including the commencement dates thereof) with respect to future offerings if such change is announced at prior to the scheduled beginning of the first Offering Period to be affected thereafter.

  
 (c) Participation. 
  
 (i) An eligible Employee may become a participant in the Program by
completing a subscription agreement authorizing payroll deductions in the form of Exhibit A to this Plan and filing it with the Company’s payroll office prior to the applicable Enrollment Date. 
  
 (ii) Payroll deductions for a participant shall commence on the first
payroll following the Enrollment Date and shall end on the last payroll in the Offering Period to which such authorization is applicable, unless sooner terminated by the participant as provided herein. 
  
 (d) Payroll Deductions. 
  
 (i) At the time a participant files his or her subscription agreement, he or
she shall elect to have payroll deductions made on each pay day during the Offering Period in an amount not exceeding ten-percent (10%) of the Compensation which he or she receives on each pay day during the Offering Period. 
  
 (ii) All payroll deductions made for a participant shall be credited to his
or her account under the Program and shall be withheld in whole percentages only. A participant may not make any additional payments into such account. 
  
 (iii) A participant may discontinue his or her participation in the Program as provided herein, or may increase or decrease the rate of his or her
payroll deductions during the Offering Period by completing or filing with the Company a new subscription agreement authorizing a change in payroll deduction rate. The Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, limit the number of participation
rate changes during any Offering Period. The change in rate shall be effective with the first full payroll period following five (5) business days after the Company’s receipt of the new subscription agreement unless the Company elects to
process a given change in participation more quickly. A participant’s subscription agreement shall remain in effect for successive Offering Periods unless terminated as provided herein. 
  

 12 

 (iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code
and Section 11(a)(ii) hereof, a participant’s payroll deductions may be decreased to zero percent (0%) at any time during an Offering Period. Payroll deductions shall recommence at the rate provided in such participant’s subscription
agreement at the beginning of the first Offering Period which is scheduled to end in the following calendar year, unless terminated by the participant as provided herein. 
  
 (v) At the time the option is exercised, in whole or in part, or at the time some or all of the Company’s Common Stock
issued under the Program is disposed of, the participant must make adequate provision for the Company’s federal, state, or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon the exercise of the option or the disposition of the Common
Stock. At any time, the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, withhold from the participant’s compensation the amount necessary for the Company to meet applicable withholding obligations, including any withholding required to make
available to the Company any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of Common Stock by the Employee. 
  
 (e) Grant of Right. On the Enrollment Date of each Offering Period, each eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be granted
an option to purchase on each Exercise Date during such Offering Period (at the applicable Purchase Price) up to a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock determined by dividing such Employee’s payroll deductions accumulated prior
to such Exercise Date and retained in the Participant’s account as of the Exercise Date by the applicable Purchase Price; provided that in no event shall an Employee be permitted to purchase during each Offering Period more than 3,000 shares of
the Company’s Common Stock (subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 14), and provided further that such purchase shall be subject to the limitations set forth herein. The Compensation Committee may, for future Offering Periods, increase
or decrease, in its absolute discretion, the maximum number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock an Employee may purchase during each Offering Period. Exercise of the option shall occur as provided herein, unless the participant has
withdrawn as provided herein. The option shall expire on the last day of the Offering Period. 
  
 (f) Exercise of Right. 
  
 (i) Unless a participant withdraws from the Program as provided in herein, his or her option for the purchase of shares shall be exercised automatically on the Exercise Date, and the maximum number of full shares subject to option shall be
purchased for such participant at the applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated payroll deductions in his or her account. No fractional shares shall be purchased; any payroll deductions accumulated in a participant’s account which are not
sufficient to purchase a full share shall be returned to the participant. Any other monies left over in a participant’s account after the Exercise Date shall be returned to the participant. During a participant’s lifetime, a
participant’s option to purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her. 
  
 (ii) If the Compensation Committee determines that, on a given Exercise Date, the number of shares with respect to which options are to be exercised may exceed (i) the 

  

 13 

 
number of shares of Common Stock that were available for sale under the Plan on the Enrollment Date of the applicable Offering Period, or (ii) the number of
shares available for sale under the Plan on such Exercise Date, the Compensation Committee may in its sole discretion provide that the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock available for purchase on such Enrollment
Date or Exercise Date, as applicable, in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine in its sole discretion to be equitable among all participants exercising options to purchase Common Stock on such Exercise Date. The
Company may make pro rata allocation of the shares available on the Enrollment Date of any applicable Offering Period pursuant to the preceding sentence, notwithstanding any authorization of additional shares for issuance under the Program by the
Company’s shareholders subsequent to such Enrollment Date. 
  
 (g) Delivery. As promptly as practicable after each Exercise Date on which a purchase of shares occurs, the Company shall either (i) arrange the delivery to each participant, as appropriate, of a certificate representing the shares
purchased upon exercise of his or her option, or (ii) establish some other means for each participant to receive ownership of the shares, such as electronically notifying the participant of the addition of shares to his or her brokerage account.

  
 (h) Withdrawal. 
  
 (i) A participant may withdraw all but not less than all the payroll
deductions credited to his or her account and not yet used to exercise his or her Right under the Program at any time by giving written notice to the Company in the form of Exhibit A to this Plan. For withdrawal to take effect during the current
Offering Period, written notice must be received by the Company at least seven days (or such lesser period as is determined by the Administrator) prior to the last day of the current Offering Period. All of the participant’s payroll deductions
credited to his or her account shall be paid to such participant promptly after receipt of notice of withdrawal and such participant’s Right for the Offering Period shall be automatically terminated, and no further payroll deductions for the
purchase of shares shall be made for such Offering Period. If a participant withdraws from an Offering Period, payroll deductions shall not resume at the beginning of the succeeding Offering Period unless the participant delivers to the Company a
new subscription agreement. 
  
 (ii) A participant’s
withdrawal from an Offering Period shall not have any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in other provisions of the Plan, any similar Program which may hereafter be adopted by the Company or in succeeding Offering Periods which
commence after the termination of the Offering Period from which the participant withdraws. 
  
 (i) Termination of Employment. Upon a participant’s ceasing to be an Employee, for any reason, he or she shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Program and the payroll deductions credited to
such participant’s account during the Offering Period but not yet used to exercise the Right shall be returned to such participant or, in the case of his or her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section 11(k) hereof, and
such participant’s Right shall be automatically terminated. The preceding sentence notwithstanding, a participant who receives payment in lieu of notice of termination of employment shall be treated as continuing to be an Employee for the
participant’s customary number of hours per week of employment during the period in which the participant is subject to such payment in lieu of notice. 
  

 14 

 (j) Interest. No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions of a participant in the Program.

  
 (k) Designation of Beneficiary. 
  
 (i) A participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to
receive any shares and cash, if any, from the participant’s account under the Program in the event of such participant’s death subsequent to an Exercise Date on which the Right is exercised but prior to delivery to such participant of such
shares and cash. In addition, a participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the participant’s account under the Program in the event of such participant’s death prior to exercise of the
Right. If a participant is married and the designated beneficiary is not the spouse, spousal consent shall be required for such designation to be effective. 
  
 (ii) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the participant at any time by written notice. In the event of the death of a participant and in
the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Program who is living at the time of such participant’s death, the Company shall deliver such shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the participant, or if
no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the participant, or if no
spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate. 
  
 (l) Transferability. Neither payroll deductions credited to a participant’s account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of a Right or
to receive shares under the Program may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or as provided herein) by the participant. Any such attempt at assignment,
transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw funds from an Offering Period in accordance with subsection 11(h) hereof. 
  
 (m) Use of Funds. All payroll deductions received or held by the
Company under the Program may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions. 
  
 (n) Reports. Individual accounts shall be maintained for each participant in the Program. Statements of account shall be given to participating
Employees at least annually, which statements shall set forth the amounts of payroll deductions, the Purchase Price, the number of shares purchased and the remaining cash balance, if any. 
  

 15 

 (o) Amendment or Termination of the Program. 
  
 (i) The Compensation Committee may at any time and for any reason terminate
or amend the Program. Except as provided herein, no such termination can affect options previously granted, provided that an Offering Period may be terminated by the Compensation Committee on any Exercise Date if the Compensation Committee
determines that the termination of the Offering Period or the Program is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Except as otherwise provided herein, no amendment may make any change in any option theretofore granted which
adversely affects the rights of any participant. To the extent necessary to comply with Section 423 of the Code (or any successor rule or provision or any other applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule), the Company shall obtain shareholder
approval in such a manner and to such a degree as required. 
  
 (ii) Without shareholder consent and without regard to whether any participant rights may be considered to have been “adversely affected,” the Compensation Committee shall be entitled to change the Offering Periods, limit the
frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld during an Offering Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars, permit payroll withholding in excess of the amount designated by
a participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company’s processing of properly completed withholding elections, establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that
amounts applied toward the purchase of Common Stock for each participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the participant’s Compensation, and establish such other limitations or procedures as the Compensation Committee) determines
in its sole discretion advisable which are consistent with the Program. 
  
 (iii) In the event the Compensation Committee determines that the ongoing operation of the Program may result in unfavorable financial accounting consequences, the Compensation Committee may, in its discretion and, to
the extent necessary or desirable, modify or amend the Program to reduce or eliminate such accounting consequence including, but not limited to: 
  
 A. altering the Purchase Price for any Offering Period including an Offering Period underway at the time of the change in Purchase Price; 
  
 B. shortening any Offering Period so that Offering Period ends on a new
Exercise Date, including an Offering Period underway at the time of the Compensation Committee action; and 
  
 C. allocating shares. 
  
 Such modifications or amendments shall not require stockholder approval or the consent of any Plan or Program participants. 
  

 16 

 (p) Notices. All notices or other communications by a participant to the Company under or in
connection with the Program shall be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof. 
  
 12. Stock Awards. Stock Awards shall be subject to the terms,
conditions, and restrictions determined by the Administrator at the time the stock is awarded. The Administrator may require the recipient to sign a Stock Award Agreement as a condition of the award. The certificates representing the shares of Stock
awarded shall bear such legends as shall be determined by the Administrator. 
  
 13. Non-Transferability of Options, Stock Awards and Rights. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, an Option, Stock Award or Right may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or
disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee. The Administrator may, in a manner established by the Administrator, provide for
the transfer, without payment of consideration, of an Option or Stock Award by the Optionee to any member of the Optionee’s immediate family or to a trust or partnership whose beneficiaries are members of the Optionee’s immediate family.
In such a case, the Option shall be exercisable only by such transferee. Following transfer, any such Options and Stock Awards shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to the transfer. For
purposes of this Section 13, an Optionee’s “immediate family” shall mean the Optionee’s spouse, lineal descendants, father, mother, brothers and sisters. 
  
 14. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Merger or Asset Sale. 
  
 (a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the
shareholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option, Stock Award and Right, the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options,
Stock Awards or Rights have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option, Stock Award or Right, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Option, Stock
Award or Right, the 60,000,000 share number in the automatic replenishment formula of Section 3 and the 3,000 share Offering Period share purchase limit in Section 11 shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of
issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without
receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the
Compensation Committee, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of
any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option, Stock Award or Right. 
  

 17 

 (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. 
  
 (i) Discretionary Options and Stock Awards. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company,
the Administrator shall notify each Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for an Optionee to have the right to exercise his or her Option until ten
(10) days prior to such transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock covered thereby, including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. In addition, the Administrator may provide that any Company repurchase option
or forfeiture applicable to any Shares purchased upon exercise of an Option or covered by a Stock Award shall lapse as to all such Shares, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in the manner contemplated. To
the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action. 
  
 (ii) Employee Stock Purchase Program. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period then in progress
shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the “New Exercise Date”), and shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed dissolution or liquidation, unless provided otherwise by the Administrator. The New
Exercise Date shall be before the date of the Company’s proposed dissolution or liquidation. The Administrator shall notify each participant in writing, at least ten (10) business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for
the participant’s Right has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the participant’s Right shall be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period
as provided in Section 11 hereof. 
  
 (c) Merger or Asset
Sale. 
  
 (i) Discretionary Options. In the event of a
merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, each outstanding Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or
Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Option, the Optionee shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise the Option as to all of the Optioned Stock,
including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. If an Option becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the Administrator shall notify the
Optionee in writing or electronically that the Option shall be fully vested and exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Option shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of this
paragraph, the Option shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or sale of assets, the option confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option immediately prior to the merger or sale of
assets, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger 

  

 18 

 
or sale of assets by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of
consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the merger or sale of assets is not solely common stock of the successor corporation
or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option, to be solely common stock of
the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or sale of assets. 
  
 (ii) Employee Stock Purchase Program. In the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company, or the merger of the Company with or into another corporation, each outstanding Right shall be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event
that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the option, any Offering Periods then in progress shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the “New Exercise Date”) and any Offering Periods then in progress
shall end on the New Exercise Date. The New Exercise Date shall be before the date of the Company’s proposed sale or merger. The Compensation Committee shall notify each participant in writing, at least ten (10) business days prior to the New
Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the participant’s Right has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the participant’s Right shall be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the
participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 11 hereof. 
  
 (iii) Stock Awards. In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, each outstanding Stock Award shall be assumed or an
equivalent award substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Stock Award, the Optionee shall fully vest in the
Stock Award, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Stock Award shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or sale of assets, the Stock Award confers the right to receive, for
each Share subject to the Stock Award immediately prior to the merger or sale of assets, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or sale of assets by holders of Common Stock for each Share held
on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the
merger or sale of assets is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received, for each Share subject to the Stock
Award, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or sale of assets. 
  
 15. Option and Stock Award Date of Grant. The date of grant of an
Option or Stock Award shall be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Option or Stock Award, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination shall be
provided to each Optionee within a reasonable time after the date of such grant. 
  

 19 

 16. Amendment and Termination of the Plan. 
  
 (a) Amendment and Termination. The Compensation Committee may at any
time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan. 
  
 (b)
Shareholder Approval. The Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws. 
  
 (c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair
the rights of any Optionee, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company. Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator’s
ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Options and Stock Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination. 
  
 17. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. 
  
 (a) Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option or the vesting of a Stock Award unless the exercise of such
Option or vesting of such Stock Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. 
  
 (b) Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise of an
Option, the Company may require the person exercising such Option to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares
if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required. 
  
 18. Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the
lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. 
  
 19. Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan,
will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. 
  
 20. Shareholder Approval. The Plan shall be subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the
Plan is adopted. Such shareholder approval shall be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws.

discretion to select which Outside Directors shall be granted Options or to determine the number of Shares to be covered by Options granted to Outside Directors; provided, however that any Outside Director may decline to receive an automatic Option

Director shall not receive a First Option. 
  
 (iii) Each Outside
Director shall be automatically granted an Option to purchase 40,000 Shares (a “Subsequent Option”) on the date of the annual meeting of the shareholders of each year provided he or she is then an Outside Director and if as of such date,

Option is exercisable after three years, provided that the Optionee continues to serve as a Director on such dates. 
  
 (vi) In the event that any Option granted under the Plan would cause the number of Shares subject to outstanding Options plus the number of Shares
previously purchased under Options to exceed the Pool, then the remaining Shares available for Option grant shall be granted under Options to the Outside Directors on a pro rata basis. No further grants shall be made until such time, if any, as
additional Shares become available for grant under the Plan through action of the Compensation Committee or the stockholders to increase the number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan or through cancellation or expiration of Options
previously granted hereunder. 
  
 5. Eligibility.

  
 (a) Options may be granted only to Directors. 
  
 (b) Neither the Plan nor any Option shall confer upon any Optionee any right
with respect to continuation of service as a Director or nomination to serve as a Director, nor shall it interfere in any way with any rights which the Director or the Company may have to terminate the Director’s relationship with the Company
at any time. 
  
 6. Term of Plan. The amendment and
restatement of the Plan shall become effective on January 27, 2005. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years from the date of obtaining stockholder approval of the Plan in May, 1999, unless terminated earlier under Section 13 of the

Optionee for more than six months on the date of surrender, and (y) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which such Option shall be exercised, (5) consideration received by the
Company under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan, or (6) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. In making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Administrator
shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to benefit the Company.

 9. Exercise of Option. 
  
 (a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to
the terms hereof at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Options granted hereunder shall be tolled during any unpaid
leave of absence. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. 
  
 An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full
payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise
of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if requested by the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly
authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued)
such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 11 of the Plan. 
  
 Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the number
of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised. 
  
 (b) Termination of Continuous Status as a Director. Subject to Section 11 hereof, in the event an Optionee’s status as a Director terminates
(other than upon the Optionee’s death or Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option, but only within three (3) months following the date of such termination, and only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise it on
the date of such termination (but in no event later than the expiration of its ten (10) year term). To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise an Option on the date of such termination, and to the extent that the Optionee does not
exercise such Option (to the extent otherwise so entitled) within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. 
  
 (c) Disability of Optionee. In the event Optionee’s status as a Director terminates as a result of Disability, the Optionee may exercise his
or her Option, but only within twelve (12) months following the date of such termination, and only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise it on the date of such termination (but in no event later than the expiration of its ten (10)
year term). To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise an Option on the date of termination, or if he or she does not exercise such Option (to the extent otherwise so entitled) within the time specified herein, the Option shall
terminate. 
  
 (d) Death of Optionee. In the event of an
Optionee’s death, the Optionee’s estate or a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance may exercise the Option, but only within twelve (12) months following the date of death, and only to the extent
that 

  

 -6- 

 
the Optionee was entitled to exercise it on the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration of its ten (10) year term). To the extent that the
Optionee was not entitled to exercise an Option on the date of death, and to the extent that the Optionee’s estate or a person who acquired the right to exercise such Option does not exercise such Option (to the extent otherwise so entitled)
within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. 
  
 (e) Buyout Provisions. The Administrator may at any time offer to buy out for a payment in cash or Shares, an Option previously granted, based on such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the
Optionee at the time that such offer is made. 
  
 10.
Non-Transferability of Options. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, Options may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution
and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee. If the Administrator makes an Option transferable, such Option shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate. 
  
 11. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Merger or Change of
Control. 
  
 (a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to
any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option, and the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no
Options have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any
increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued
shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. The conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment
shall be made by the Compensation Committee, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into
shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option. 
  
 (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the
Administrator shall notify each Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for an Optionee to have the right to exercise his or her Option until fifteen
(15) days prior to such transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock covered thereby, including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Option will terminate immediately
prior to the consummation of such proposed action. 
  
 (c)
Merger or Change of Control. In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation or Change of Control (as defined below), each outstanding Option may be assumed or equivalent options may be substituted by the successor
corporation or a Parent or 

  

 -7- 

 
Subsidiary thereof (the “Successor Corporation”). If an Option is assumed or substituted for, the Option or equivalent option shall continue to be
exercisable as provided in Section 4 hereof for so long as the Optionee serves as a Director or a director of the Successor Corporation. If, in connection with a Change of Control, the Optionee’s status as a Director or director of the
Successor Corporation, as applicable, is terminated other than upon a voluntary resignation by the Optionee, the Option or equivalent option held by the Director on the date of termination shall become fully exercisable, including as to Shares for
which it would not otherwise be exercisable. Thereafter, the Option or equivalent option shall remain exercisable in accordance with Sections 9(b) through (d) above. 
  
 If the Successor Corporation does not assume an outstanding Option or substitute for it an equivalent option, the Option
shall become fully vested and exercisable, including as to Shares for which it would not otherwise be exercisable. In such event the Compensation Committee shall notify the Optionee that the Option shall be fully exercisable for a period of thirty
(30) days from the date of such notice, and upon the expiration of such period the Option shall terminate. 
  
 For the purposes of this Section 11(c), an Option shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or Change of Control, the Option confers the right
to purchase or receive, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option immediately prior to the merger or Change of Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or Change of Control
by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares). If such
consideration received in the merger or Change of Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon
the exercise of the Option, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in
the merger or Change of Control. 
  
 For purposes of this Section
11(c), “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events: 
  
 (i) Any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of
securities of the Company representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; 
  
 (ii) The consummation of the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets;

  
 (iii) A change in the composition of the Board occurring
within a two-year period, as a result of which fewer than a majority of the directors are Incumbent Directors. “Incumbent Directors” means directors who either (A) are Directors as of January 27, 2005, or (B) are elected, or nominated for
election, to the Board with the affirmative votes of at least a majority of the Directors at the time of such election or nomination (but will not include an individual whose election or nomination is in connection with an actual or threatened proxy
contest relating to the election of directors to the Company); or 
  

 -8- 

 (iv) The consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than
a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity
or its parent) at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity or its parent outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation. 
  
 12. Time of Granting Options. The date of grant of an Option shall,
for all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Option, or such other date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination shall be given to each Director to whom an Option is so
granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant. 
  
 13. Amendment and Termination of the Plan. 
  
 (a)
Amendment and Termination. The Compensation Committee may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan. 
  
 (b) Stockholder Approval. The Compensation Committee shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable
to comply with Applicable Laws. 
  
 (c) Effect of Amendment or
Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Optionee, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by
the Optionee and the Company. Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Options granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination. 

 
 14. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. 
  
 (a) Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the
exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

  
 (b) Investment Representations. As a condition to the
exercise of an Option, the Administrator may require the person exercising such Option to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or
distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required. 
  
 15. Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority
is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority
shall not have been obtained. 
  

 -9- 

 16. Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, shall at all times reserve
and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.
