the granting of the following Stock Awards: (i) Incentive Stock Options, (ii) Nonstatutory Stock Options, (iii) stock bonuses and (iv) rights to acquire restricted stock.

shall not be deemed to occur (A) on account of the acquisition of securities of the Company by any 

 institutional investor, any affiliate thereof or any other Exchange Act Person that acquires the Company’s
securities in a transaction or series of related transactions that are primarily a private financing transaction for the Company or (B) solely because the level of Ownership held by any Exchange Act Person (the “Subject Person”)
exceeds the designated percentage threshold of the outstanding voting securities as a result of a repurchase or other acquisition of voting securities by the Company reducing the number of shares outstanding, provided that if a Change in Control
would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the acquisition of voting securities by the Company, and after such share acquisition, the Subject Person becomes the Owner of any additional voting securities that, assuming the
repurchase or other acquisition had not occurred, increases the percentage of the then outstanding voting securities Owned by the Subject Person over the designated percentage threshold, then a Change in Control shall be deemed to occur; 

(ii) there is consummated a merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving (directly or indirectly) the Company if, immediately after
the consummation of such merger, consolidation or similar transaction, the stockholders of the Company immediately prior thereto do not Own, directly or indirectly, either (A) outstanding voting securities representing more than fifty percent

effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this
Plan, the definition of Change in Control (or any analogous term) in an individual written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the Participant shall supersede the foregoing definition with respect to Stock Awards subject to such

Continuous Service. For example, a change in status from an employee of the Company to a consultant to an Affiliate or to a Director shall not constitute an interruption of Continuous Service. The Board or the chief executive officer of the Company,
in that party’s sole discretion, may determine whether Continuous Service shall he considered interrupted in the case of any leave of absence approved by that party, including sick leave, military leave or any other personal leave.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a leave of absence shall be treated as Continuous Service for purposes of vesting in a Stock Award only to such extent as may be provided in the Company’s leave of absence policy or in the written terms of the
Participant’s leave of absence.

percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant and the Option is not exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date of grant. 
 (ii) A Ten Percent Stockholder shall not be granted a Nonstatutory Stock Option unless the exercise price of such Option is at least (i) one
hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant or (ii) such lower percentage of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant as is permitted by Section 260.140.41 of

Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant as is permitted by Section 260.140.42 of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations at the time of the grant of the restricted stock award. 
 (c) Consultants. A Consultant shall not be eligible for the grant of a Stock Award if, at the time of grant, either the offer or the sale of the
Company’s securities to such Consultant is not exempt under Rule 701 of the Securities Act (“Rule 701”) because of the nature of the services that the Consultant is providing to the Company, because the Consultant is not a natural
person, or because of some other provision of Rule 701, unless the Company determines that such grant need not comply with the requirements of Rule 701 and will satisfy another exemption under the Securities Act as well as comply with the securities
laws of all other relevant jurisdictions. 
 6. OPTION PROVISIONS. 
 Each Option shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. All Options shall be separately
designated Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options at the time of grant, and, if certificates are issued, a separate certificate or certificates shall be issued for shares of Common Stock purchased on exercise of each type of Option.
The provisions of separate Options need not be identical, but each Option shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Option or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions: 
 (a) Term. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(b) regarding Ten Percent Stockholders, no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of
ten (10) years from the date it was granted. 
 (b) Exercise Price of an Incentive Stock Option. Subject to the provisions of
Section 5(b) regarding Ten Percent Stockholders, the exercise price of each Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option on the date the Option
is granted. Notwithstanding the 
  

 7 

 foregoing, an Incentive Stock Option may be granted with an exercise price lower than that set forth in the preceding
sentence if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code. 
 (c) Exercise Price of a Nonstatutory Stock Option. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(b) regarding Ten Percent Stockholders, the exercise price of each Nonstatutory Stock Option shall be not less than
eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Nonstatutory Stock Option may be granted with an exercise price lower than that set
forth in the preceding sentence if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code. 
 (d) Consideration. The purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option shall be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable statutes
and regulations, either (i) in cash at the time the Option is exercised or (ii) at the discretion of the Board at the time of the grant of the Option (or subsequently in the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option) (1) by delivery to the
Company of other Common Stock, (2) according to a deferred payment or other similar arrangement with the Optionholder or (3) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board. Unless otherwise specifically
provided in the Option, the purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option that is paid by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock acquired, directly or indirectly from the Company, shall be paid only by shares of the Common
Stock of the Company that have been held for more than six (6) months (or such longer or shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes). At any time that the Company is incorporated in Delaware,
payment of the Common Stock’s “par value,” as defined in the Delaware General Corporation Law, shall not be made by deferred payment. 
 In the case of any deferred payment arrangement, interest shall be compounded at least annually and shall be charged at the minimum rate of interest necessary to avoid (1) the treatment as interest, under any
applicable provisions of the Code, of any amounts other than amounts stated to be interest under the deferred payment arrangement and (2) the treatment of the Option as a variable award for financial accounting purposes. 
 (e) Transferability of an Incentive Stock Option. An Incentive Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by the Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company,
designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option. 
 (f)
Transferability of a Nonstatutory Stock Option. A Nonstatutory Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and, to the extent provided in the Option Agreement, to such further extent as
permitted by Section 260.140.41(d) of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations at the time of the grant of the Option, and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by the Optionholder. If the Nonstatutory Stock
Option does not provide for transferability, then the 
  

 8 

 Nonstatutory Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall
be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by the Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in
the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option. 
 (g) Vesting Generally. The total
number of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option may, but need not, vest and therefore become exercisable in periodic installments that may, but need not, be equal. The Option may be subject to such other terms and conditions on the time or
times when it may be exercised (which may be based on performance or other criteria) as the Board may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of individual Options may vary. The provisions of this Section 6(g) are subject to any Option
provisions governing the minimum number of shares of Common Stock as to which an Option may be exercised. 
 (h) Minimum Vesting.
Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 6(g), to the extent that the following restrictions on vesting are required by Section 260.140.41(f) of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations at the time of the grant of the Option, then:

 (i) Options granted to an Employee who is not an Officer, Director or Consultant shall provide for vesting of the total number of
shares of Common Stock at a rate of at least twenty percent (20%) per year over five (5) years from the date the Option was granted, subject to reasonable conditions such as continued employment; and 
 (ii) Options granted to Officers, Directors or Consultants may be made fully exercisable, subject to reasonable conditions such as continued
employment, at any time or during any period established by the Company. 
 (i) Termination of Continuous Service. In the event that
an Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates (other than upon the Optionholder’s death or Disability), the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the
Date of termination) but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date three (3) months following the termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service (or such longer or shorter period specified in the
Option Agreement, which period shall not be less than thirty (30) days unless such termination is for cause), or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after termination, the Optionholder
does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified in the Option Agreement, the Option shall terminate. 
 (j) Extension of
Termination Date. An Optionholder’s Option Agreement may also provide that if the exercise of the Option following the termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service (other than upon the Optionholder’s death or Disability)
would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of shares of Common Stock would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act, then the Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the term of the
Option set forth in Section 6(a) or (ii) the expiration of a period of three (3) months after the termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service during which the exercise of the Option would not be in violation of such
registration requirements. 
  

 9 

 (k) Disability of Optionholder. In the event that an Optionholder’s Continuous Service
terminates as a result of the Optionholder’s Disability, the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination), but only within such period of
time ending on the earlier of (i) the date twelve (12) months following such termination (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement, which period shall not be less than six (6) months) or (ii) the
expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after termination, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. 
 (l) Death of Optionholder. In the event that (i) an Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder’s
death or (ii) the Optionholder dies within the period (if any) specified in the Option Agreement after the termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service for a reason other than death, then the Option may be exercised (to the extent
the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of death) by the Optionholder’s estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated to exercise the option
upon the Optionholder’s death pursuant to Section 6(e) or 6(f), but only within the period ending on the earlier of (1) the date eighteen (18) months following the date of death (or such longer or shorter period specified in the
Option Agreement, which period shall not be less than six (6) months) or (2) the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after death, the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein, the
Option shall terminate. 
 (m) Early Exercise. The Option may, but need not, include a provision whereby the Optionholder may elect at
any time before the Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates to exercise the Option as to any part or all of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option prior to the full vesting of the Option. Subject to the “Repurchase
Limitation” in Section 10(g), any unvested shares of Common Stock so purchased may be subject to a repurchase option in favor of the Company or to any other restriction the Board determines to be appropriate. Provided that the
“Repurchase Limitation” in Section 10(g) is not violated, the Company will not exercise its repurchase option until at least six (6) months (or such longer or shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for
financial accounting purposes) have elapsed following exercise of the Option unless the Board otherwise specifically provides in the Option. 
 (n) Right of Repurchase. Subject to the “Repurchase Limitation” in Section 10(g), the Option may, but need not, include a provision whereby the Company may elect to repurchase all or any part of the vested shares of
Common Stock acquired by the Optionholder pursuant to the exercise of the Option. Provided that the “Repurchase Limitation” in Section 10(g) is not violated, the Company will not exercise its repurchase option until at least six
(6) months (or such longer or shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes) have elapsed following exercise of the Option unless otherwise specifically provided in the Option. 
 (o) Right of First Refusal. The Option may, but need not, include a provision whereby the Company may elect to exercise a right of first refusal
following receipt of notice from the Optionholder of the intent to transfer all or any part of the shares of Common Stock received upon the exercise of the Option. Except as expressly provided in this Section 6(o) or in 
  

 10 

 the Stock Award Agreement for the Option, such right of first refusal shall otherwise comply with any applicable
provisions of the Bylaws of the Company. The Company will not exercise its right of first refusal until at least six (6) months (or such longer or shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes)
have elapsed following the exercise of the Option unless otherwise specifically provided in the Option.

Limitation” in Section 10(g), in the event that a Participant’s Continuous Service terminates, the Company may repurchase or otherwise reacquire any or all of the shares of Common Stock held by the Participant that have not vested as
of the date of termination under the terms of the restricted stock purchase agreement. Provided that the “Repurchase Limitation” in Section 10(g) is not violated, the Company will not exercise its repurchase option until at least six
(6) months (or such longer or shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes) have elapsed following the purchase of the restricted stock unless otherwise specifically provided in the restricted
stock purchase agreement. 
 (v) Transferability. Rights to acquire shares of Common Stock under the restricted stock purchase
agreement shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall he exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant. 
 8. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. 
 (a)
Availability of Shares. During the terms of the Stock Awards, the Company shall keep available at all times the number of shares of Common Stock required to satisfy such Stock Awards. 
 (b) Securities Law Compliance. The Company shall seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such
authority as may be required to grant Stock Awards and to issue and sell shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Stock Awards; provided, however, that this undertaking shall not require the Company to register under the Securities
Act the Plan, any Stock Award or any Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any such Stock Award. If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority which counsel for the
Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of Common Stock under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell Common Stock upon exercise of such Stock Awards unless and until such authority
is obtained. 
  

 12 

 9. USE OF PROCEEDS FROM STOCK.

 Proceeds from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to Stock Awards shall constitute general funds of the Company. 
 10. MISCELLANEOUS. 
 (a)
Acceleration of Exercisability and Vesting. The Board shall have the power to accelerate the time at which a Stock Award may first be exercised or the time during which a Stock Award or any part thereof will vest in accordance with the Plan,
notwithstanding the provisions in the Stock Award stating the time at which it may first be exercised or the time during which it will vest. 
 (b) Stockholder Rights. No Participant shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Common Stock subject to such Stock Award unless and until such Participant has
satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Stock Award pursuant to its terms. 
 (c) No Employment or other Service Rights.
Nothing in the Plan or any instrument executed or Stock Award granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Stock Award was granted or
shall affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (i) the employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without cause, (ii) the service of a Consultant pursuant to the terms of such Consultant’s
agreement with the Company or an Affiliate or (iii) the service of a Director pursuant to the Bylaws of the Company or an Affiliate, and any applicable provisions of the corporate law of the state in which the Company or the Affiliate is
incorporated, as the case may be. 
 (d) Incentive Stock Option $100,000 Limitation. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market
Value (determined at the time of grant) of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Optionholder during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its Affiliates) exceeds one
hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), the Options or portions thereof that exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options, notwithstanding any contrary provision of a Stock Award
Agreement. 
 (e) Withholding Obligations. To the extent provided by the terms of a Stock Award Agreement, the Participant may satisfy
any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under a Stock Award by any of the following means (in addition to the Company’s right to withhold from any compensation paid to the
Participant by the Company) or by a combination of such means: (i) tendering a cash payment; (ii) authorizing the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant as a result
of the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under the Stock Award; provided, however, that no shares of Common Stock are withheld with a value exceeding the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law (or such lower amount
as may be necessary to avoid variable award accounting); or (iii) delivering to the Company owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock. 
  

 13 

 (f) Information Obligation. To the extent required by Section 260.140.46 of Title 10 of the
California Code of Regulations, the Company shall deliver financial statements to Participants at least annually. This Section 10(f) shall not apply to key Employees whose duties in connection with the Company assure them access to equivalent
information. 
 (g) Repurchase Limitation. The terms of any repurchase option shall be specified in the Stock Award, and the
repurchase price may be either the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of termination of Continuous Service or the lower of (i) the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of repurchase or
(ii) their original purchase price. To the extent required by Section 260.140.41 and Section 260.140.42 of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations at the time a Stock Award is made, any repurchase option contained in a Stock
Award granted to a person who is not an Officer, Director or Consultant shall be upon the terms described below: 
 (i) Fair Market
Value. If the repurchase option gives the Company the right to repurchase the shares of Common Stock upon termination of Continuous Service at not less than the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock to be purchased on the date of
termination of Continuous Service, then (i) the right to repurchase shall be exercised for cash or cancellation of purchase money indebtedness for the shares of Common Stock within ninety (90) days of termination of Continuous Service (or
in the case of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of Stock Awards after such date of termination, within ninety (90) days after the date of the exercise) or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Company and the Participant (for
example, for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Section 1202(c)(3) of the Code regarding “qualified small business stock”) and (ii) the right terminates when the shares of Common Stock become publicly traded. 

(ii) Original Purchase Price. If the repurchase option gives the Company the right to repurchase the shares of Common Stock upon termination of
Continuous Service at the lower of (i) the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of repurchase or (ii) their original purchase price, then (x) the right to repurchase at the original purchase price shall lapse at
the rate of at least twenty percent (20%) of the shares of Common Stock per year over five (5) years from the date the Stock Award is granted (without respect to the date the Stock Award was exercised or became exercisable) and
(y) the right to repurchase shall be exercised for cash or cancellation of purchase money indebtedness for the shares of Common Stock within ninety (90) days of termination of Continuous Service (or in the case of shares of Common Stock
issued upon exercise of Options after such date of termination, within ninety (90) days after the date of the exercise) or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Company and the Participant (for example, for purposes of satisfying the
requirements of Section 1202(c)(3) of the Code regarding “qualified small business stock”). 
 11. ADJUSTMENTS
UPON CHANGES IN STOCK. 
 (a) Capitalization Adjustments. If any change
is made in, or other event occurs with respect to, the Common Stock subject to the Plan or subject to any Stock Award without the receipt of consideration by the Company (through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization,
reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or 
  

 14 

 other transaction not involving the receipt of consideration by the Company (each a “Capitalization
Adjustment”), the Plan will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and maximum number of securities subject to the Plan pursuant to Sections 4(a) and 4(b), and the outstanding Stock Awards will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and
number of securities and price per share of Common Stock subject to such outstanding Stock Awards. The Board shall make such adjustments, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. (The conversion of any convertible securities of
the Company shall not be treated as a transaction “without receipt of consideration” by the Company.) 
 (b) Dissolution or
Liquidation. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, then all outstanding Options shall terminate immediately prior to the completion of such dissolution or liquidation, and shares of Common Stock subject to the
Company’s repurchase option may be repurchased by the Company notwithstanding the fact that the holder of such stock is still in Continuous Service. 
 (c) Corporate Transaction. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation may assume or continue all or none of the Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan or may
substitute similar stock awards for all or none of the Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan (it being understood that similar stock awards include, but are not limited to, awards to acquire the same consideration paid to the stockholders or the
Company, as the case may be, pursuant to the Corporate Transaction), and any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the Company in respect of Common Stock issued pursuant to Stock Awards may be assigned by the Company to the successor of the
Company (or such successor’s parent company), if any, in connection with such Corporate Transaction. In the event that any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation does not assume or continue such outstanding Stock Awards or substitute
similar stock awards for such outstanding Stock Awards, then with respect to such Stock Awards that are held by Participants whose Continuous Service has not terminated prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction, the vesting of such
Stock Awards (and, if applicable, the time at which such Stock Awards may be exercised) shall (contingent upon the effectiveness of the Corporate Transaction) be accelerated in full to a date prior to the effective time of such Corporate Transaction
as the Board shall determine (or, if the Board shall not determine such a date, to the date that is five (5) days prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction), the Stock Awards shall terminate if not exercised (if applicable) at or
prior to such effective time, and any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the Company with respect to such Stock Awards held by Participants whose Continuous Service has not terminated shall (contingent upon the effectiveness of the Corporate
Transaction) lapse. 
 (d) Change in Control. A Stock Award held by any Participant whose Continuous Service has not terminated prior
to the effective time of a Change in Control may be subject to additional acceleration of vesting and exercisability upon or after such event as may be provided in the Stock Award Agreement for such Stock Award or as may be provided in any other
written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the Participant, but in the absence of such provision, no such acceleration shall occur. 
  

 15 

 12. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND
STOCK AWARDS. 
 (a) Amendment of Plan. The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the
Plan. However, except as provided in Section 11(a) relating to Capitalization Adjustments, no amendment shall be effective unless approved by the stockholders of the Company to the extent stockholder approval is necessary to satisfy the
requirements of Section 422 of the Code. 
 (b) Stockholder Approval. The Board, in its sole discretion, may submit any other
amendment to the Plan for stockholder approval. 
 (c) Contemplated Amendments. It is expressly contemplated that the Board may amend
the Plan in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable to provide eligible Employees with the maximum benefits provided or to be provided under the provisions of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder relating to Incentive Stock
Options and/or to bring the Plan and/or Incentive Stock Options granted under it into compliance therewith. 
 (d) No Impairment of
Rights. Rights under any Stock Award granted before amendment of the Plan shall not be impaired by any amendment of the Plan unless (i) the Company requests the consent of the Participant and (ii) the Participant consents in writing.

 (e) Amendment of Stock Awards. The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of any one or more Stock Awards;
provided, however, that the rights under any Stock Award shall not be impaired by any such amendment unless (i) the Company requests the consent of the Participant and (ii) the Participant consents in writing. 
 13. TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE PLAN. 
 (a) Plan Term. The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. Unless sooner terminated, the Plan shall terminate thirty
(30) calendar days following the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement). No Stock Awards may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated. 
 (b) No Impairment of Rights. Suspension or termination of the Plan shall not impair rights and obligations under any Stock Award granted while the
Plan is in effect except with the written consent of the Participant. 
 14. EFFECTIVE TIME OF
PLAN. 
 The Plan, as amended and restated by the Company pursuant to the Merger Agreement, shall become effective at the
Effective Time. 
 15. CHOICE OF LAW. 
 The law of the State of Delaware shall govern all questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Plan, without regard to such
state’s conflict of laws rules, except to the extent that the laws of the State of California would provide greater rights to the holder of an Award. 
  

 16AMENDMENT NO.6 TO LEASE

 Exhibit 10.1 
 AMENDMENT NO. 6 TO LEASE 
 THIS AGREEMENT made this 26th day of October, 2006, by and between
EWE WAREHOUSE INVESTMENTS V, LTD., as Lessor and MERRIMACK SERVICES CORPORATION dba PC CONNECTION SERVICES, as Lessee located at 2780-2880 Old State Route 73, Wilmington, Ohio 45177. 
 W I T N E S S E T H: 
 WHEREAS, Lessor and Lessee entered into a Lease dated
September 27, 1990, as amended June 28, 1996, July 31, 1998, June 26, 2000, July 31, 2002 and February 28, 2005, and 
 WHEREAS, the Lessor and Lessee desire to amend the Lease of approximately 102,400 square feet to extend the Term, revise the Rent and add Option to Renew. 
 NOW THEREFORE, the Lease is amended as follows. 
 1. Article 1. TERM. shall be revised as follows. 
 Effective March 1, 2007, the term of this Lease shall be extended
for an additional two (2) years for a total term of eighteen (18) years, two (2) months commencing January 1, 1991 and ending February 28, 2009, both dates inclusive. 
 2. Lessee warrants that Lessee has accepted and is now in possession of the Premises and that the Lease is valid and presently in full force and effect.
Lessee accepts the Premises in it present “as is” condition. 
 3. Article 4. RENT. shall be revised as follows. 

For the one (1) year period commencing March 1, 2006 and ending February 28, 2007, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor as Basic Annual
Rent for the Leased Premises the sum of FIVE HUNDRED FORTY-EIGHT THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED SIXTY-FOUR AND 04/100 DOLLARS ($548,864.04) which shall be paid in equal monthly installments of FORTY-FIVE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED THIRTY-EIGHT AND 67/100
DOLLARS ($45,738.67), due and payable on the first day of each month, in advance, without demand. 

 Checks should be made payable to Easton & Associates Management Account c/o The Easton Group,
10165 N. W. 19th St., Miami, FL 33172 
 The Basic Annual Rent of $548,864.04 shall be adjusted annually based on any increases in the Consumer Price Index beginning March 1, 2007 and at the end of each year thereafter, whether during the term of this
Lease or any renewal or extension thereof. Increases in the Annual Rent shall be made in accordance with the following procedure: 
 a. The
index to be used for this adjustment shall be the Consumer Price Index (U.S. City Average, All Urban Consumers, All Items, 1982-1984 equaling a base of 100, from the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Washington, D.C.).

 b. The Consumer Price Index of 2004 for the month of November shall be the “Base Period Consumer Price Index”. The Consumer
Price Index for the month of November in each adjustment year shall be the “Adjustment Period Consumer Price Index”. 
 c. The Base
Period Consumer Price Index shall be subtracted from the Adjustment Period Consumer Price Index; the difference shall be divided by the Base Period Consumer Price Index. This quotient shall then be multiplied by the Basic Annual Rent, and the result
shall then be added to the Basic Annual Rent. The resulting sum shall be the adjusted Annual Rent for such immediately succeeding leasehold period which shall be paid in equal monthly installments. 
 d. If the said Consumer Price Index is, at any time during the term of this Lease, discontinued by the Government, then the most nearly comparable index
shall be substituted for the purpose of the aforesaid calculations. 
 4. The following Option to Renew. shall be added. 

Lessee is hereby granted an option to renew this Lease for an additional term of two (2) years on the same terms and conditions contained herein
except for the rental and the length of the term, upon the conditions that: 
 a. written notice of the exercise of such option shall be given
by Lessee to Lessor not less than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the end of the term of this Lease (by August 31, 2008); and 
 b. at the time of the giving of such notice and at the expiration of the term of this Lease, there are no defaults in the covenants, agreements, terms and conditions on the part of Lessee to be kept and performed, and all rents are and have
been fully paid. Provided also, that the rent to be 

 paid during each year of the said renewal period shall be as determined in accordance with the following procedure:

 (1) The index to be used for this adjustment shall be the Consumer Price Index (U.S. City Average, All Urban Consumers, All Items,
1982-1984 equaling a base of 100, from the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Washington, D.C.). 
 (2) The Consumer Price
Index of 2004 for the month of November shall be the “Base Period Consumer Price Index”. 
 (3) The Consumer Price Index for the
month of November each succeeding year shall be determined from the published figures and shall be the “Adjustment Period Consumer Price Index”. 
 (4) The Base Period Consumer Price Index shall be subtracted from the Adjustment Period Consumer Price Index; the difference shall be divided by the Base Period Consumer Price Index. This quotient shall then be
multiplied by $548,864.04 and the result shall then be added to $548,864.04. This arithmetical sum shall then be the adjusted Basic Annual Rent for such immediately succeeding leasehold year which shall be paid in equal monthly installments.

 (5) If the said Consumer Price Index is, at any time during the term of this Lease, discontinued by the Government, then the most nearly
comparable index shall be substituted for the purpose of the aforesaid calculations. 
 5. Except as expressly amended herein, all other
terms and conditions of the Lease remain in full force and effect. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Lessor and Lessee have affixed their signatures
to duplicates of this Amendment, this 25th day of October, 2006, as to Lessee and this 26th day of October, 2006, as to Lessor.
