 WILLIAMS-SONOMA, INC. 
 1993 AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCK OPTION PLAN 
 NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 
  
 This NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (together with the attached Notice
of Grant of Stock Options (the “Grant Notice”), the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the date set forth on the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”) by
and between WILLIAMS-SONOMA, INC., a California corporation (the “Company”), and, the individual set forth on the Grant Notice (the “Optionee”). All capitalized terms not specifically
defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Company’s 1993 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). 
  

R E C I T A L S 
  
 A. The Board of Directors and shareholders of the Company originally approved and adopted the Plan on March 17, 1993 and May 26, 1993, respectively. The
Plan provides for the granting to key employees or directors of the Company or any of its Affiliates as the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) may from time to time select, of options to purchase shares of Common
Stock. 
  
 B. Pursuant to the Plan, the Plan is administered by
the Committee appointed by and comprised of members of the Company’s Board of Directors. 
  
 C. Pursuant to the Plan, the Committee has determined that it is to the advantage and best interests of the Company and its shareholders to grant a nonqualified stock option to Optionee covering the number of shares
of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Shares”) indicated in the Grant Notice as an inducement to remain in the service of the Company and as an incentive for increased effort during such service, and has approved the execution of
this Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement between the Company and Optionee. 
  
 D. The option granted hereby is not intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

  
 NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

  
 1. Grant of Option. The Company grants to Optionee the
right and option (“Option”) to, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, all or any part of the aggregate number of Shares set forth on the Grant Notice at the purchase price set forth on
the Grant Notice, which price is not less than one-hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of the Common Stock (as determined pursuant to the Plan) on the Grant Date. The Option shall be exercisable from time to time in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement during a period expiring on the date of Option Expiration as set forth on the Grant Notice (the “Expiration Date”) or earlier in accordance with Section 4. 
  
 2. Vesting. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the other
provisions of this Agreement, this Option shall vest and become exercisable in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Grant Notice. 
  

 -1- 

 Subject to earlier termination of the Option under Section 4, Optionee may purchase all or any part of
the Shares subject to the vested portion of this Option which Optionee theretofore failed to purchase; provided, however, that in no event may Optionee purchase any Shares subject to the Option after the Expiration Date. In each case the number of
Shares which may be purchased shall be calculated to the nearest full Share. 
  
 3. Manner of Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable by notice to the Company either from Optionee’s broker or from Optionee. This notice shall specify the number of Shares to be purchased and shall be
accompanied by payment to the Company of the full purchase price of the Shares to be purchased solely through one of the following means and in each case complying with applicable law (including, without limitation, state and federal margin
requirements): (i) in cash or by check payable to the order of the Company, (ii) by delivery of shares of Common Stock of the Company already owned by, and in the possession of, Optionee, valued at their fair market value (as determined in
accordance with the Plan), or (iii) through a “cashless exercise” program implemented by the Company, or (iv) any combination thereof. This Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share and no partial exercise of this Option may be
for less than (a) one hundred (100) Shares or (b) the total number of Shares then eligible for exercise, if less than one hundred (100) Shares. 
  
 This Option may be exercised (i) during the lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee; (ii) to the extent permitted by the Committee or by the terms of this
Agreement, Optionee’s spouse if such spouse obtained the Option pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or Title I of ERISA, or the rules thereunder (“Qualified Domestic Relations
Order”); and (iii) after Optionee’s death by his or her transferees by will or the laws of descent or distribution. 
  
 4. Termination of Employment; Death or Permanent Disability. If Optionee ceases to be employed by the Company or one of its Affiliates for any
reason other than Optionee’s death or “permanent disability” (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), the Option shall be exercisable until the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date or (ii) or a date three (3) months after
the date Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company or such Affiliates, to the extent exercisable on the date of such cessation of employment, and shall thereafter expire and be void and of no further force or effect. A leave of absence
approved in writing by the Committee shall not be deemed a termination of employment for the purposes of this Section 4, and the Option may be exercised during any such leave of absence, except during the first three (3) months thereof. If Optionee
dies or becomes “permanently disabled” while Optionee is employed by the Company or one of its Affiliates, the Option shall expire on the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date or (ii) a date one (1) year after the date of such death or
“permanent disability,” to the extent exercisable on the date of death or “permanent disability,” and shall thereafter expire and be void and of no further force or effect. During such period after death, the Option may, to the
extent that it remained unexercised (but exercisable by Optionee according to the Option’s terms) on the date of such death, be exercised by the person or persons to whom Optionee’s rights under the Option shall pass by Optionee’s
will or by the laws of descent and distribution or by Optionee’s spouse who obtained the Option pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. 
  

 -2- 

 5. Shares to be Issued in Compliance with Federal Securities Laws and Exchange Rules. By accepting
the Option, Optionee represents and agrees, for Optionee and his or her legal successors (by will or the laws of descent and distribution or through a Qualified Domestic Relations Order), that none of the Shares purchased upon exercise of the Option
will be acquired with a view to any sale, transfer or distribution of said Shares in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any applicable state “blue sky” laws. If required by the Committee at the time the Option is exercised, Optionee or any other person entitled to
exercise the Option shall furnish evidence satisfactory to the Company (including a written and signed representation) to such effect in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, including an indemnification of the Company in the event of any
violation of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or state blue sky laws by such person. The Company shall use its best efforts and take all necessary and appropriate action to assure that the Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Option shall
be issued in full compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, state blue sky laws and all applicable listing requirements of any principal securities exchange on which shares of the same class are listed. 
  
 6. Withholding of Taxes. Upon the exercise of this Option, the Company
shall have the right to require Optionee or Optionee’s legal successor to pay the Company the amount of any taxes which the Company may be required to withhold with respect to such Shares. 
  
 7. No Assignment. This Option and all other rights and privileges
granted hereby shall not be transferred, either voluntarily or by operation of law otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. Upon any attempt to so transfer or otherwise
dispose of this Option or any other right or privileges granted hereby contrary to the provisions hereof, this Option and all rights and privileges contained herein shall immediately become null and void and of no further force or effect.

  
 8. Participation by Optionee in Other Company Plans.
Nothing herein contained shall affect the right of Optionee to participate in and receive benefits under and in accordance with the then current provisions of any pension, insurance, profit sharing or other employee welfare plan or program of the
Company or of any subsidiary of the Company. 
  
 9. No Rights
as a Shareholder Until Issuance of Stock Certificate. Neither Optionee nor any other person legally entitled to exercise this Option shall be entitled to any of the rights or privileges of a shareholder of the Company in respect of any Shares
issuable upon any exercise of this Option unless and until a certificate or certificates representing such Shares shall have been actually issued and delivered to Optionee. 
  
 10. Not an Employment or Service Contract. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as an agreement by the Company
or any of its Affiliates, express or implied, to employ Optionee or contract for Optionee’s services, to restrict the Company’s or such Affiliate’s right to discharge Optionee or cease contracting for Optionee’s services for any
reason whatsoever or without any reason, or to modify, extend or otherwise affect in any manner whatsoever, the terms of any employment agreement or contract for services which may exist between Optionee and the Company or any of its Affiliates.

  

 -3- 

 11. Agreement Subject to Stock Option Plan. The Option hereby granted is subject to, and the
Company and Optionee agree to be bound by, all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same shall be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, but no such amendment shall adversely affect Optionee’s rights under
this Option without the prior written consent of Optionee. 
  
 12.
Governing Law. The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of California without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of California or any other
jurisdiction. 
  
 13. Modifications. This Agreement may be
amended, altered or modified adversely to the Optionee’s interests only by a writing signed by each of the parties hereto. 
  
 14. Additional Documents. Each party agrees to execute any and all further documents and writings, and to perform such other actions, which may be
or become reasonably necessary or expedient to be made effective and carry out this Agreement. 
  
 15. No Third-Party Benefits. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of, or enforceable by, any third-party beneficiary.

  
 16. Successors and Assigns. Except as provided herein
to the contrary, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns. 
  
 17. No Assignment. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Optionee may not assign any of his, her or its rights under this Agreement
without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion. The Company shall be permitted to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement, but no such assignment shall release the Company of any
obligations pursuant to this Agreement. 
  
 18.
Severability. The validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected even if one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect.

  
 19. Equitable Relief. The Optionee acknowledges that,
in the event of a threatened or actual breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement, damages alone will be an inadequate remedy, and such breach will cause the Company great, immediate and irreparable injury and damage. Accordingly, the
Optionee agrees that the Company shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief, and that such relief shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any remedies they may have at law or under this Agreement. 
  
 20. Headings. The section headings in this Agreement are inserted only
as a matter of convenience, and in no way define, limit, extend or interpret the scope of this Agreement or of any particular section. 
  

 -4- 

 21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
  
 22. Complete Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the parties’ entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersede all agreements, representations, warranties, statements, promises and understandings, whether oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Optionee agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or
interpretations of the Committee regarding any questions relating to the Plan and this Agreement.

 This NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (together with the attached Notice
of Grant of Stock Options (the “Grant Notice”), the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the date set forth on the Grant Notice by and between Williams-Sonoma, Inc., a California corporation (the
“Company”), and the individual (the “Optionee”) set forth on the Grant Notice. All capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Company’s 2000 Nonqualified Stock
Option Plan (the “Plan”). 
  
 R E C I T A L S

  
 A. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of

 B. The Plan provides that it is to be administered by the Committee described
therein. 
  
 C. Pursuant to the Plan, the Committee has determined
that it is to the advantage and best interests of the Company and its shareholders to grant to Optionee an option (the “Option”) to purchase the number of shares of the Common Stock of the Company (the “Shares”) set
forth on the Grant Notice, at the exercise price determined as in the Grant Notice, and in all respects subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference as an inducement to Optionee to remain in
the service of the Company and as an incentive for increased effort during such service, and has approved the execution of this Agreement between the Company and Optionee. 
  
 D. The Option is not intended to qualify as an incentive stock option as contemplated by Section 422 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). 
  
 NOW,
THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
  
 1. Grant of
Option. The Company grants to Optionee the Option to purchase, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, all or any part of the aggregate number of Shares set forth on the Grant Notice at the purchase price set forth
on the Grant Notice, which price is not less than one-hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of the Common Stock (as determined pursuant to the Plan) on the Grant Date. The Option shall be exercisable from time to time in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement during a period expiring on the date of Option Expiration as set forth on the Grant Notice (the “Expiration Date”) or earlier in accordance with Section 4. 
  
 2. Vesting. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the other
provisions of this Agreement, this Option shall vest and become exercisable in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Grant Notice. 
  

 -1- 

 Subject to earlier termination of the Option under Section 4, Optionee may purchase all or any part of
the Shares subject to the vested portion of this Option which Optionee theretofore failed to purchase, provided, however, that in no event may Optionee purchase any Shares subject to the Option after the Expiration Date. In each case the number of
Shares which may be purchased shall be calculated to the nearest full Share. 
  
 3. Manner of Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable by notice to the Company either from Optionee’s broker or from Optionee. This notice shall specify the number of Shares to be purchased and
accompanied by payment to the Company of the full purchase price of the Shares to be purchased solely (i) in cash or by check payable to the order of the Company, or (ii) by delivery of shares of Common Stock already owned by, and in the possession
of, Optionee for a period of at least six (6) months, valued at their fair market value (as determined in accordance with the Plan), or (iii) through a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company, or (iv) any combination of the foregoing.
This Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a share and no partial exercise of this Option may be for less than (a) one hundred (100) Shares or (b) the total number of Shares then eligible for exercise, if less than one hundred (100) Shares.

  
 The Option may be exercised (i) during the lifetime of
Optionee only by Optionee; (ii) to the extent permitted by the Committee or by the terms of this Agreement, Optionee’s spouse if such spouse obtained the Option pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or Title I
of ERISA, or the rules thereunder (“Qualified Domestic Relations Order”); and (iii) after Optionee’s death by his or her transferees by will or the laws of descent or distribution. 
  
 4. Termination of Employment; Death or Permanent Disability. If
Optionee ceases to be employed by the Company for any reason other than Optionee’s death or “permanent disability” (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), the Option shall be exercisable until the earlier of (i) the
Expiration Date or (ii) or a date three (3) months after the date Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company, to the extent exercisable on the date of such cessation of employment, and shall thereafter expire and be void and of no further
force or effect. A leave of absence approved in writing by the Committee shall not be deemed a termination of employment for the purposes of this Section 4, and the Option may be exercised during any such leave of absence, except during the first
three (3) months thereof. If Optionee dies or becomes “permanently disabled” while Optionee is employed by the Company, the Option shall expire on the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date or (ii) a date one (1) year after the date of such
death or “permanent disability,” to the extent exercisable on the date of death or “permanent disability,” and shall thereafter expire and be void and of no further force or effect. During such period after death, the Option may,
to the extent that it remained unexercised (but exercisable by Optionee according to the Option’s terms) on the date of such death, be exercised by the person or persons to whom Optionee’s rights under the Option shall pass by
Optionee’s will or by the laws of descent and distribution or by Optionee’s spouse who obtained the Option pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. 
  
 5. Shares to be Issued in Compliance with Federal Securities Laws and Exchange Rules. By accepting the Option,
Optionee represents and agrees, for Optionee and his or her legal successors (by will or the laws of descent and distribution or through a Qualified Domestic 

  

 -2- 

 
Relations Order), that none of the Shares purchased upon exercise of the Option will be acquired with a view to any sale, transfer or distribution of said
Shares in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or
any applicable state “blue sky” laws. If required by the Committee at the time the Option is exercised, Optionee or any other person entitled to exercise the Option shall furnish evidence satisfactory to the Company (including a written
and signed representation) to such effect in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, including an indemnification of the Company in the event of any violation of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or state blue sky laws by such person.
The Company shall use its best efforts and take all necessary and appropriate action to assure that the Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Option shall be issued in full compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, state blue sky laws
and all applicable listing requirements of any principal securities exchange on which shares of the same class are listed. 
  
 6. Withholding of Taxes. Upon the exercise of the Option, the Company shall have the right to require Optionee or Optionee’s legal successor
to pay the Company the amount of any taxes which the Company may be required to withhold with respect to such Shares. 
  
 7. No Assignment. The Option and all other rights and privileges granted hereby shall not be transferred, either voluntarily or by operation of law
otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. Upon any attempt to so transfer or otherwise dispose of the Option or any other right or privileges granted hereby contrary to the
provisions hereof, the Option and all rights and privileges contained herein shall immediately become null and void and of no further force or effect. 
  
 8. Participation by Optionee in Other Company Plans. Nothing herein contained shall affect the right of Optionee to participate in and receive
benefits under and in accordance with the then current provisions of any pension, insurance, profit sharing or other employee welfare plan or program of the Company or of any subsidiary of the Company.

certificate or certificates representing such Shares shall have been actually issued and delivered to Optionee. 
  
 10. Not an Employment or Service Contract. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as an agreement by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
express or implied, to employ Optionee or contract for Optionee’s services, to restrict the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s right to discharge Optionee for any reason whatsoever or without any reason or to modify, extend or otherwise
affect in any manner whatsoever, the terms of any employment agreement or contract for services which may exist between Optionee and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

agree to be bound by, all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same shall be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, but

 WILLIAMS-SONOMA, INC. 
 STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 
 (Employee Grants Under 2001 Long-Term Incentive Plan) 
  
 THIS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (together with the attached Notice of Grant of
Stock Options (the “Grant Notice”), the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the date set forth on the Grant Notice by and between Williams-Sonoma, Inc., a California corporation (the
“Company”), and the individual (the “Optionee”) set forth on the Grant Notice. 
  
 A. Pursuant to the Williams-Sonoma, Inc. 2001 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the Administrator hereby grants to Optionee an
option (the “Option”) to purchase the number of shares of the Stock of the Company (the “Shares” or the “Option Shares”) set forth on the Grant Notice, at the exercise price determined as provided
therein, and in all respects subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. 
  
 B. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein,
the Optionee and the Company hereby agree as follows: 
  
 1. Grant and
Terms of Stock Option. 
  
 1.1 Grant of Option.
Pursuant to the Grant Notice, the Company has granted to the Optionee the right and option to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, all or any part of the number of Shares of the Stock of the Company
set forth on the Grant Notice at a purchase price per Share equal to the exercise price per Share (as may be adjusted in accordance with Section 3(c) of the Plan) set forth on the Grant Notice. If the Grant Notice indicates (under “Type of
Option”) that this Option is an “ISO”, then this Option is intended by the Company and Optionee to be an Incentive Stock Option. However, if this Option is intended to be an ISO, to the extent that it exceeds the $100,000 rule
of Code Section 422(d) it shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option. If the Grant Notice indicates that this Option is a “NQ”, then this Option is not intended to be an Incentive Stock Option and is instead intended to be a
Nonqualified Stock Option. Subject to Section 11 of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the plan and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail. 
  
 1.2 Vesting and Exercisability. Subject to the provisions of the Plan
and the other provisions of this Agreement, this Option shall vest and become exercisable in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Grant Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Optionee incurs a Termination of Continuous Service
for any reason, with or without Cause, including as a result of death or Disability, this Option shall immediately cease vesting and shall be cancelled to the extent of the number of Shares as to which this Option has not vested as of the date of
termination. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Termination of Continuous Service” shall mean that the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries for any 

  

 - 1 - 

 
reason and has not simultaneously become a Non-employee Director of the Company or vice versa. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall
have the meaning set forth in an Optionee’s employment agreement (if any) with the Company or its Subsidiary, or if not defined therein, shall mean (i) acts or omissions by the Optionee which constitute intentional material misconduct or a
knowing violation of a material policy of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, which such misconduct or violation could cause material liability to the Company or material damage to the reputation of the Company, (ii) the Optionee personally
receiving a material benefit in money, property or services from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in material violation of applicable law or Company policy, (iii) an act of fraud, conversion, misappropriation or embezzlement by the Optionee
or Optionee’s conviction of, or entering a guilty plea or plea of no contest with respect to, a felony or the equivalent thereof (other than a DUI), or (iv) any material misuse or improper disclosure of confidential or proprietary information
of the Company. 
  
 1.3 Term of Option. In no event may any
portion of this Option be exercised after the Option Expiration Date set forth on the Grant Notice. In the event Optionee incurs a Termination of Continuous Service for any reason, this Option shall be cancelled as to any unvested Shares as provided
in Section 1.2, and shall terminate and be cancelled with respect to any vested Shares on the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date, or (ii) a date three (3) months after Optionee incurs a Termination of Continuous Service (except in the case of
termination as a result of Optionee’s Disability or death or in the case of the Optionee’s death within thirty (30) days following his or her Termination of Continuous Service, in which case the three (3) month period does not apply);
provided, however, if Optionee incurs a Termination of Continuous Service for Cause, this entire Option shall be cancelled and terminated as of the date of such Termination of Continuous Service and shall no longer be exercisable as to any Shares,
whether or not previously vested; or (iii) a date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after Optionee’s death if Optionee dies within thirty (30) days following his or her Termination of Continuous Service; or (iv) a date that is one hundred
eighty (180) days after Optionee incurs a Termination of Continuous Service by reason of Optionee’s death, or Disability. Notwithstanding anything to the foregoing, in no event shall the Expiration Date be a date that is more than ten (10)
years from the date of grant. 
  
 2. Method of Exercise. 
  
 2.1 Delivery of Notice of Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable
by notice to the Company either from Optionee’s broker or from Optionee. This notice shall state the election to exercise this Option, the number of Shares in respect of which this Option is being exercised, and such other representations and
agreements with respect to such Shares as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan. Such written notice shall be signed by Optionee (or by Optionee’s beneficiary or other person entitled to
exercise this Option in the event of Optionee’s death under the Plan) and shall be delivered in person or by certified mail to the Secretary of the Company. The written notice shall be accompanied by payment of the exercise price. This Option
shall not be deemed exercised until the Company receives such written notice accompanied by the exercise price and any other applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement are satisfied. This Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

  

 - 2 - 

 2.2 Restrictions on Exercise. No Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of this Option
unless and until there shall have been full compliance with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (whether by registration or satisfaction of exemption conditions), all Applicable Laws, and all applicable listing
requirements of any national securities exchange or other market system on which the Stock is then listed. As a condition to the exercise of this Option, the Company may require Optionee to make any representation and warranty to the Company as may
be necessary or appropriate, in the judgment of the Administrator, to comply with any Applicable Law. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the exercised Shares will be considered transferred to the Optionee on the date the Option is
exercised with respect to such exercised Shares. 
  
 2.3 Method
of Payment. Payment of the exercise price shall be made in full at the time of exercise in cash or by check payable to the order of the Company, or by any of the following, at the election of Optionee: (i) by delivery of shares of unrestricted
Stock already owned by Optionee for a period of at least six months, (ii) by delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to
the Company to pay the purchase price, in accordance with the terms of the Plan, or (iii) by any combination of the foregoing, including in combination with cash or check payable to the order of the Company. Shares of Stock used to satisfy the
exercise price of this Option shall be valued at their Fair Market Value determined on the date of exercise. In addition, the Administrator may impose such other conditions in connection with the delivery of shares of Stock in satisfaction of the
exercise price as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion. 
  
 2.4 Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of Incentive Stock Option. If this Option is an Incentive Stock Option and the Optionee sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired upon exercise of this Option on or before the
later of (i) two years after the date of grant, or (ii) one year after the date such Shares were acquired, the Optionee shall immediately notify the Company in writing of such disposition. The Optionee agrees that he or she may be subject to income
tax withholding by the Company on the taxable income recognized as a result of such disposition and that the Optionee shall be required to satisfy such withholding obligations either by making a payment to the Company in cash or by withholding from
current earnings of the Optionee. 
  
 3. Non-Transferability of Option.
This Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution or to a beneficiary designated pursuant to the Plan, and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee. Subject to
all of the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, following the death of Optionee, this Option may, to the extent it remained unexercised (but vested and exercisable by Optionee in accordance with its terms) on the date of death, be exercised
by Optionee’s beneficiary or other person entitled to exercise this Option in the event of Optionee’s death under the Plan. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 3, (i) if this Option is a Nonqualified Stock Option, this
Option may be transferred during the Optionee’s lifetime to one or more members of his or her “immediate family” (as such term is defined pursuant to Rule 701 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, and the regulations
thereunder) or to trusts for the benefit of such family members, provided that the transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. 
  

 - 3 - 

 4. General. 
  
 4.1 Withholding Taxes. Optionee agrees to make appropriate arrangements with the Company (or the Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining
Optionee) for the satisfaction of all federal, state, local and foreign income and employment tax withholding requirements applicable to the Option exercise. Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to honor the exercise and
refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise. 
  
 4.2 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the internal substantive laws of the state of California, without regard
to the conflicts of law provisions of California or any other jurisdiction. 
  
 4.3 Notices. Any notice required or permitted under this Agreement shall be given in writing by express courier or by postage prepaid, United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to
the address set forth below or to such other address for a party as that party may designate by 10 days advance written notice to the other parties. Notice shall be effective upon the earlier of receipt or 3 days after the mailing of such notice.

 If to Optionee, at the
address set forth on the Grant Notice. Optionee agrees to notify the Company in writing if Optionee’s address as shown above changes. 
  
 4.4 Modifications. This Agreement may be amended, altered or modified adversely to the Optionee’s interests only by a writing signed by each
of the parties hereto 
  
 4.5 Application to Other Stock.
In the event any capital stock of the Company or any other corporation shall be distributed on, with respect to, or in exchange for shares of Stock as a stock dividend, stock split, reclassification or recapitalization in connection with any merger
or reorganization or otherwise, all restrictions, rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement shall apply with respect to such other capital stock to the same extent as they are, or would have been applicable, to the Option Shares on or with
respect to which such other capital stock was distributed. 
  
 4.6
Additional Documents. Each party agrees to execute any and all further documents and writings, and to perform such other actions, which may be or become reasonably necessary or expedient to be made effective and carry out this Agreement.

 - 4 - 

 4.8 Successors and Assigns. Except as provided herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns. 
  
 4.9 No Assignment. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Optionee may not assign any of his, her or its rights under this Agreement
without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion. The Company shall be permitted to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement, but no such assignment shall release the Company of any
obligations pursuant to this Agreement. 
  
 4.10
Severability. The validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected even if one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect.

  
 4.11 Equitable Relief. The Optionee acknowledges that,
in the event of a threatened or actual breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement, damages alone will be an inadequate remedy, and such breach will cause the Company great, immediate and irreparable injury and damage. Accordingly, the
Optionee agrees that the Company shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief, and that such relief shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any remedies they may have at law or under this Agreement. 
  
 4.12 Arbitration. 
  
 4.12.1 General. Any controversy, dispute, or claim
between the parties to this Agreement, including any claim arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the formation, interpretation, performance or breach of this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration, before a single
arbitrator, in accordance with this section 4.12 and the then most applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any state or federal court having jurisdiction thereof.
Such arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association. Arbitration shall be the exclusive remedy for determining any such dispute, regardless of its nature. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may in an appropriate
matter apply to a court pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1281.8, or any comparable provision, for provisional relief, including a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction, on the ground that the award to which
the applicant may be entitled in arbitration may be rendered ineffectual without provisional relief. Unless mutually agreed by the parties otherwise, any arbitration shall take place in the City of San Francisco, California. 
  
 4.12.2 Selection of Arbitrator. In the event the
parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator, the parties shall select a single arbitrator from a list of nine arbitrators drawn by the parties at random from a list of nine persons (which shall be retired judges or corporate or litigation
attorneys experienced in stock options and buy-sell agreements) provided by the office of the American Arbitration Association having jurisdiction over San Francisco, California. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator from the list so
drawn, then the parties shall each strike names alternately from the list, with the first to strike being determined by lot. After each party has used four strikes, the remaining name on the list shall be the arbitrator. If such 

  

 - 5 - 

 
person is unable to serve for any reason, the parties shall repeat this process until an arbitrator is selected. 
  
 4.12.3 Applicability of Arbitration; Remedial
Authority. This agreement to resolve any disputes by binding arbitration shall extend to claims against any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of each party, and, when acting within such capacity, any officer, director, shareholder, employee or
agent of each party, or of any of the above, and shall apply as well to claims arising out of state and federal statutes and local ordinances as well as to claims arising under the common law. In the event of a dispute subject to this paragraph the
parties shall be entitled to reasonable discovery subject to the discretion of the arbitrator. The remedial authority of the arbitrator (which shall include the right to grant injunctive or other equitable relief) shall be the same as, but no
greater than, would be the remedial power of a court having jurisdiction over the parties and their dispute. The arbitrator shall, upon an appropriate motion, dismiss any claim without an evidentiary hearing if the party bringing the motion
establishes that he or it would be entitled to summary judgement if the matter had been pursued in court litigation. In the event of a conflict between the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association and these procedures, the provisions
of these procedures shall govern. 
  
 4.12.4
Fees and Costs. Any filing or administrative fees shall be borne initially by the party requesting arbitration. The Company shall be responsible for the costs and fees of the arbitration, unless the Optionee wishes to contribute (up to 50%)
of the costs and fees of the arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the prevailing party in such arbitration, as determined by the arbitrator, and in any enforcement or other court proceedings, shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by law,
to reimbursement from the other party for all of the prevailing party’s costs (including but not limited to the arbitrator’s compensation), expenses, and attorneys’ fees. 
  
 4.12.5 Award Final and Binding. The arbitrator shall render an award and written opinion, and the
award shall be final and binding upon the parties. If any of the provisions of this paragraph, or of this Agreement, are determined to be unlawful or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, such determination shall not affect the validity of
the remainder of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be reformed to the extent necessary to carry out its provisions to the greatest extent possible and to insure that the resolution of all conflicts between the parties, including those arising
out of statutory claims, shall be resolved by neutral, binding arbitration. If a court should find that the arbitration provisions of this Agreement are not absolutely binding, then the parties intend any arbitration decision and award to be fully
admissible in evidence in any subsequent action, given great weight by any finder of fact, and treated as determinative to the maximum extent permitted by law. 
  

4.13 Headings. The section headings in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience, and in no way define, limit, extend or
interpret the scope of this Agreement or of any particular section. 
  
 4.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
  

 - 6 - 

 4.15 Complete Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the parties’ entire agreement
with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all agreements, representations, warranties, statements, promises and understandings, whether oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Optionee agrees to accept as binding,
conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator regarding any questions relating to the Plan and this Agreement.

 THIS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (together with the attached
Notice of Grant of Stock Options (the “Grant Notice”), the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the date set forth on the Grant Notice by and between Williams-Sonoma, Inc., a
California corporation (the “Company”), and the individual (the “Optionee”) set forth on the Grant Notice and the signature page hereof. 
  
 A. Pursuant to the Williams-Sonoma, Inc. 2001 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the
“Plan”), the Administrator hereby grants to Optionee an option (the “Option”) to purchase the number of shares of the Stock of the Company (the “Shares” or
the “Option Shares”) set forth on the Grant Notice, at the exercise price determined as provided therein, and in all respects subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein
by reference. 
  
 B. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized

and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, all or any part of the number of shares of the Stock of the Company set forth on the Grant Notice at a purchase price per share equal to the exercise price per Share (as may be adjusted in
accordance with Section 3(c) of the Plan) set forth on the Grant Notice. This Option is intended to be a Nonqualified Stock Option. Subject to Section 11 of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the plan and the

extent of the number of Shares as to which this Option has not vested as of the date of termination. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Termination of Continuous Service” shall mean that the Optionee ceases to be a
Non-employee Director of the Company for any reason and has not simultaneously become an employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries or vice versa. 
  
 1.3 Term of Option/Termination Period. In no event may any portion of this Option be exercised after the Option Expiration Date set forth on the

 2. Method of Exercise. 
  
 2.1 Delivery of Notice of Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable

agreements with respect to such Shares as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan. Such written notice shall be signed by Optionee (or by Optionee’s beneficiary or other person entitled to
exercise this Option in the event of Optionee’s death under the Plan) and shall be delivered in person or by certified mail to the Secretary of the Company. The written notice shall be accompanied by payment of the exercise price. This Option

lifetime to one or more members of his or her “immediate family” (as such term is defined pursuant to Rule 701 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, and the regulations thereunder) or to trusts for the benefit of such family
members, provided that the transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. Subject to all of the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, following the death of

in the event of Optionee’s death under the Plan.

and other equitable relief, and that such relief shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any remedies they may have at law or under this Agreement. 
  
 4.12 Arbitration. 
  
 4.12.1 General. Any controversy, dispute, or claim between the parties to this Agreement, including any claim arising out of, in
connection with, or in relation to the formation, interpretation, performance or breach of this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration, before a single arbitrator, in accordance with this Section 4.12 and the then most applicable
rules of the American Arbitration Association. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any state or federal court having jurisdiction thereof. Such arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration
Association. Arbitration shall be the exclusive remedy for determining any such dispute, regardless of its nature. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may in an appropriate matter apply to a court pursuant to California Code of Civil
Procedure Section 1281.8, or any comparable provision, for provisional relief, including a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction, on the ground that the award to which the applicant may be entitled in arbitration may be rendered
ineffectual without 

  

 - 4 - 

 
provisional relief. Unless mutually agreed by the parties otherwise, any arbitration shall take place in the City of San Francisco, California. 

 
 4.12.2 Selection of Arbitrator. In the event the
parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator, the parties shall select a single arbitrator from a list of nine arbitrators drawn by the parties at random from a list of nine persons (which shall be retired judges or corporate or litigation
attorneys experienced in stock options and buy-sell agreements) provided by the office of the American Arbitration Association having jurisdiction over San Francisco, California. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator from the list so
drawn, then the parties shall each strike names alternately from the list, with the first to strike being determined by lot. After each party has used four strikes, the remaining name on the list shall be the arbitrator. If such person is unable to
serve for any reason, the parties shall repeat this process until an arbitrator is selected. 
  
 4.12.3 Applicability of Arbitration; Remedial Authority. This agreement to resolve any disputes by binding arbitration shall extend
to claims against any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of each party, and, when acting within such capacity, any officer, director, shareholder, employee or agent of each party, or of any of the above, and shall apply as well to claims arising out of
state and federal statutes and local ordinances as well as to claims arising under the common law. In the event of a dispute subject to this paragraph the parties shall be entitled to reasonable discovery subject to the discretion of the arbitrator.
The remedial authority of the arbitrator (which shall include the right to grant injunctive or other equitable relief) shall be the same as, but no greater than, would be the remedial power of a court having jurisdiction over the parties and their
dispute. The arbitrator shall, upon an appropriate motion, dismiss any claim without an evidentiary hearing if the party bringing the motion establishes that he or it would be entitled to summary judgement if the matter had been pursued in court
litigation. In the event of a conflict between the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association and these procedures, the provisions of these procedures shall govern. 
  
 4.12.4 Fees and Costs. Any filing or administrative fees shall be borne initially by the party
requesting arbitration. The Company shall be responsible for the costs and fees of the arbitration, unless the Optionee wishes to contribute (up to 50%) of the costs and fees of the arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the prevailing party in
such arbitration, as determined by the arbitrator, and in any enforcement or other court proceedings, shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by law, to reimbursement from the other party for all of the prevailing party’s costs (including
but not limited to the arbitrator’s compensation), expenses, and attorneys’ fees. 
  
 4.12.5 Award Final and Binding. The arbitrator shall render an award and written opinion, and the award shall be final and binding
upon the parties. If any of the provisions of this paragraph, or of this Agreement, are determined to be unlawful or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, such determination shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Agreement,
and this Agreement shall be reformed to the extent necessary to carry out its provisions to the greatest extent possible and to insure that the resolution of all conflicts between the parties, including those arising out of statutory claims, shall
be resolved by neutral, binding arbitration. If a court should find that the arbitration provisions of this Agreement are not absolutely binding, then the parties intend any arbitration decision and award 

  

 - 5 - 

 
to be fully admissible in evidence in any subsequent action, given great weight by any finder of fact, and treated as determinative to the maximum extent
permitted by law. 
  
 4.13 Headings. The section headings
in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience, and in no way define, limit, extend or interpret the scope of this Agreement or of any particular section. 
  
 4.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
  
 4.15 Complete Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the parties’ entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all agreements, representations, warranties,
statements, promises and understandings, whether oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Optionee agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator regarding any questions
relating to the Plan and this Agreement. 
  

 - 6 -Long-term Stock Incentive Plan

 Exhibit 10.1 
  
 SEMTECH CORPORATION 
 LONG-TERM STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
  
 (As Amended and
Restated) 
  
 1. THE PLAN 
  
 (a) Purpose. The purpose of this Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (the
“Plan”) is to promote the longer-term financial success of Semtech Corporation (the “Company”) by providing a means to attract, retain and award individuals who can and do contribute to such success. By using stock-based
compensation, the recipients of awards under the Plan will further identify their interests with those of the Company’s stockholders. 
  
 (b) Effective Date. To serve this purpose, the Plan will become effective upon its approval by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or
represented by proxy at the Company’s 1998 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. 
  
 2. ADMINISTRATION 
  
 (a) Committee. The Plan shall be administered by a Committee, appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company. So long as the Company’s common
stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”) remain registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Section 16 Participants may receive awards, any committee authorized by the Board
to administer the Plan shall be comprised solely of two or more directors of the Company who are Non-Employee Directors within the meaning of Rule 16b-3(b)(3)(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of
Directors of the Company (the “Board”) may assume, at its sole discretion, administration of the Plan. The administrator of the Plan, whether a committee of the Board or the full Board, is referred to herein as the “Plan
Administrator.” 
  
 (b) Powers and Authority. The Plan
Administrator’s powers and authority include, but are not limited to, selecting individuals who are (1) employees of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or other entity in which the Company has a significant equity or other interest as
determined by the Plan Administrator, or (2) members of the Board; determining the types and terms and conditions of all awards granted, including performance and other earnout and/or vesting contingencies; permitting transferability of awards to
third parties; interpreting the Plan’s provisions; and administering the Plan in a manner that is consistent with its purpose. 
  
 (c) Award Prices. For Plan purposes, all stock options and stock appreciation rights shall have an exercise price which shall reflect the average traded
price of a share of Common Stock, on the date as determined by the Plan Administrator, or if the Common Stock is not traded on such date, the average price on the next preceding day on which such Common Stock is traded. The applicable date shall be
the date on which the award is granted. 
  
 3.
SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN 
  
 (a) Maximum Shares Available for
Delivery. Subject to Section 3(c), the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered to participants and their beneficiaries under the Plan shall be equal to the sum of 
  

 1 of 8 

 (i) 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock; (ii) any shares of Common Stock available for future awards under the
Company’s 1994 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan as of the effective date of this Plan; (iii) any shares of Common Stock available for future awards under the Company’s 1994 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan as of the effective date of
this Plan; (iv) any shares of Common Stock that are represented by awards granted under any prior plan of the Company, which are forfeited, expire or are canceled without the delivery of shares of Common Stock or which result in the forfeiture of
shares of Common Stock back to the Company; and (v) up to 2,000,000 additional shares of Common Stock, if authorized by the Board, which are reacquired in the open market or in a private transaction after the effective date of this Plan.
Collectively the shares of Common Stock subject to this Plan are referred to herein as “Shares.” In addition, any Shares granted under the Plan which are forfeited back to the Company because of the failure to meet an award contingency or
condition shall again be available for delivery pursuant to new awards granted under the Plan. Any Shares covered by an award (or portion of an award) granted under the Plan, which is forfeited or canceled, expires or is settled in cash, shall be
deemed not to have been delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of Shares available for delivery under the Plan. Likewise, if any stock option is exercised by tendering Shares, either actually or by attestation, to the Company as
full or partial payment in connection with the exercise of a stock option under this Plan or any prior plan of the Company, only the number of Shares issued net of the Shares tendered shall be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the maximum
number of Shares available for delivery under the Plan. Further, Shares issued under the Plan through the settlement, assumption or substitution of outstanding awards or obligations to grant future awards as a condition of the Company acquiring
another entity shall not reduce the maximum number of Shares available for delivery under the Plan. 
  
 (b) Other Plan Limits. Subject to Section 3(c), the following additional maximums are imposed under the Plan. The maximum number of Shares that may be
covered by stock options intended to comply with Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), (“Incentive Stock Options”) shall be 2,000,000. The maximum number of Shares that may be issued in
conjunction with awards granted pursuant to Section 4(d) shall be 600,000 plus up to an additional 600,000 to the extent that such Shares are reacquired by the Company pursuant to Section 3(a). The maximum number of Shares that may be covered by
awards granted to any one individual pursuant to Sections 4(b) and 4(c) shall be 500,000 during any consecutive three calendar years. The maximum payment that can be made for awards granted to any one individual pursuant to Sections 4(d) and 4(e)
shall be $2,500,000 for any single or combined performance goals established for a specified performance period. If a payment under Sections 4(d) or 4(e) is made in Shares, the value of such Shares for determining this maximum individual payment
amount will be the closing price of a Share on the first day of the applicable performance period. A specified performance period for purposes of this performance goal payment limit shall not exceed a sixty (60) consecutive month period. 

 
 (c) Payment Shares. Subject to the overall limitation on the number of
Shares that may be delivered under the Plan, the Plan Administrator may use available Shares as the form of payment for compensation, grants or rights earned or due under any other compensation plans or arrangements of the Company, including the
plan of any entity acquired by the Company. 
  

 2 of 8 

 (d) Adjustments for Corporate Transactions. The Plan Administrator may determine that: 
  
 (i) In the event that the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company
are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, stock dividend, combination or subdivision, appropriate adjustment shall be
made in the number of shares available under the Plan and under any stock awards granted under the Plan. Such adjustment to outstanding stock awards shall be made without change in the total price applicable to the unexercised portion of such
awards, and a corresponding adjustment in the applicable option price per share shall be made. No such adjustment shall be made which would, within the meaning of any applicable provisions of the Code, constitute a modification, extension or renewal
of any award or a grant of additional benefits to the holder of an award. 
  
 (ii) In case (A) the Company is merged or consolidated with another corporation or other entity and the Company is not the surviving corporation, (B) all or substantially all of the assets or more than 50% of the
outstanding voting stock of the Company is acquired by any other corporation or other entity or (C) of a reorganization or liquidation of the Company, the Plan Administrator or the governing body of any entity assuming the obligations of the
Company, shall, as to outstanding awards, either (x) make appropriate provision for the protection of any such outstanding awards by the substitution on an equitable basis of appropriate stock of the Company, or of the merged, consolidated or
otherwise reorganized corporation which will be issuable in respect of the shares of Common Stock of the Company, provided that no additional benefits shall be conferred upon participants as a result of such substitution, and the excess of the
aggregate fair market value of the shares subject to the awards immediately after such substitution over the purchase price thereof is not more than the excess of the aggregate fair market value of the shares subject to the award immediately before
such substitution over the purchase price thereof, or (y) upon written notice to the participants, provide that all unexercised awards must be exercised within a specified number of days of the date of such notice or they will be terminated. In any
such case, the Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, accelerate the exercise dates of outstanding awards; provided, however, that subsections (iii) and (iv) of this paragraph (d) shall govern acceleration of awards with respect to the
events described therein. 
  
 (iii) In case of (A) any
consolidation or merger involving the Company if the shareholders of the Company immediately before such merger or consolidation do not own, directly or indirectly, immediately following such merger or consolidation, more than fifty percent (50%) of
the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities or interests of the corporation (or its parent corporation) or other entity resulting from such merger or consolidation in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the
shares of Common Stock immediately before such merger or consolidation; (B) any sale, lease, license, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all, or substantially all, of the business and/or assets of
the Company or assets representing over 50% of the operating revenue of the Company; or (C) any person (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act who is not, on April 16, 1998, a “controlling person” (as defined
in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) (a “Controlling Person”) of the Company shall become (x) the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of over 50% of the
Company’s outstanding Common Stock or the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally or 
  

 3 of 8 

 (y) a Controlling Person of the Company, all outstanding awards, regardless of the date of grant of such awards, shall
immediately become exercisable with respect to 100% of the Shares subject to such awards. This paragraph 3(d)(iii) shall apply only to awards granted prior to October 3, 2001 and to awards granted on or after October 3, 2001 to participants who are
non-employee directors on the date of grant. 
  
 (iv) In the event
of the termination without cause of a participant within one year following a Change in Control (as defined below) or a Constructive Termination (as defined below) of a participant, all outstanding awards, regardless of the date of grant of such
awards, shall immediately become exercisable with respect to 100% of the Shares subject to such awards. 
  
 For purposes of this paragraph 3(d)(iv), “Constructive Termination” shall mean participant’s voluntary termination within one year following participant’s knowledge of the occurrence of any of the
following: (A) a reduction in participant’s base salary after a “Change in Control” (as defined below) from that in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control; or (B) a material or substantial reduction or change in job duties,
responsibilities and requirements after a Change in Control from participant’s prior duties, responsibilities and requirements immediately prior to the Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a termination shall not be treated as a
Constructive Termination if the participant shall have specifically consented in writing to the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim of Constructive Termination. 
  
 For purposes of this paragraph 3(d)(iv), “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events with respect
to the Company: (A) any consolidation or merger involving the Company if the shareholders of the Company immediately before such merger or consolidation do not own, directly or indirectly, immediately following such merger or consolidation, more
than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities or interests of the corporation (or its parent corporation) or other entity resulting from such merger or consolidation in substantially the same proportion
as their ownership of the shares of Common Stock immediately before such merger or consolidation; (B) any sale, lease, license, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all, or substantially all, of the
business and/or assets of the Company or assets representing over 50% of the operating revenue of the Company; or (C) any person (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) who is not, on October 3, 2001, a Controlling
Person of the Company shall become (x) the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of over 50% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock or the combined voting power of the Company’s then
outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally or (y) a Controlling Person of the Company. 
  
 This paragraph 3(d)(iv) shall apply only to awards granted on or after October 3, 2001 to participants who on the date of grant are other than non-employee directors. 
  
 4. TYPES OF AWARDS 
  
 (a) General. An award may be granted singularly, in combination with another
award(s) or in tandem whereby exercise or vesting of one award held by a participant cancels another award held by the participant. Any award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the
Plan Administrator. These agreements must conform to the Plan. The Plan Administrator may include such terms, consistent with the Plan, 
  

 4 of 8 

 as it determines in its discretion. Subject to Section 2(c), an award may be granted as an alternative to or replacement
of an existing award under the Plan or under any other compensation plans or arrangements of the Company, including the plan of any entity acquired by the Company. The types of awards that may be granted under the Plan include: 
  
 (b) Stock Option. A stock option represents a right to purchase a specified
number of Shares during a specified period at a price per Share which is no less than that required by Section 2(c). A stock option may be in the form of an incentive stock option or in a form which does not qualify for favorable federal tax
treatment. The Shares covered by a stock option may be purchased by means of a cash payment or such other means as the Plan Administrator may from time to time permit, including without limitation (i) tendering (either actually or by attestation)
Shares valued using the market price at the time of exercise, (ii) authorizing a third party to sell Shares (or a sufficient portion thereof) acquired upon exercise of a stock option and to remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale
proceeds to pay for all the Shares acquired through such exercise and any tax withholding obligations resulting from such exercise; (iii) crediting toward the purchase price amounts from individuals’ deferred compensation account balances,
including accrued dividend equivalent balances; or (iv) any combination of the above. (c) Stock Appreciation Right. A stock appreciation right is a right to receive a payment in cash, Shares or a combination, equal to the excess of the aggregate
market price at time of exercise of a specified number of Shares over the aggregate exercise price of the stock appreciation rights being exercised. 
  
 (d) Stock Award. A stock award is a grant of Shares or of a right to receive Shares (or their cash equivalent or a combination of both) in the future.
Each stock award shall be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Plan Administrator shall determine. These may include continuous service and/or the achievement of performance goals. The performance goals that may be used
by the Plan Administrator for such awards shall consist of cash generation targets, profit, revenue and market share targets, profitability targets as measured by return ratios, and shareholder returns. The Plan Administrator may designate a single
goal criterion or multiple goal criteria for performance measurement purposes with the measurement based on absolute Company or business unit performances and/or on performance as compared with that of other publicly-traded companies. 
  
 (e) Cash Award. A cash award is a right denominated in cash or cash units to
receive a payment, which may be in the form of cash, Shares or a combination, based on the attainment of pre-established performance goals and such other conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Plan Administrator shall determine. The
performance goals that may be used by the Plan Administrator for such awards shall consist of cash generation targets, profits, revenue and market share targets, profitability targets as measured by return ratios and shareholder returns. The Plan
Administrator may designate a single goal criterion or multiple goal criteria for performance measurement purposes with the measurement based on absolute Company or business unit performance and/or on performance as compared with that of other
publicly-traded companies. 
  
 (f) Special Provisions for
Incentive Stock Options. Stock Options granted under the Plan which are intended to be Incentive Stock Options shall be specifically designated as Incentive Stock Options and shall be subject to the following additional terms and conditions:

  
 (i) Dollar Limitation. The aggregate fair market value
(determined as of the 
  

 5 of 8 

 respective date or dates of the grant) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted to any
employee under the Plan (and under any other incentive stock option plans of the Company and any parent corporation and subsidiary) are exercisable for the first time shall not exceed $100,000 in any one calendar year. In the event that Section 422
of the Code is amended to alter the limitation set forth therein so that following such amendment such limitation shall differ from the limitation set forth in this paragraph (i), the limitation of this paragraph (i) shall be automatically adjusted
accordingly. 
  
 (ii) 10% Stockholder. If any employee to whom an
Incentive Stock Option is to be granted under the Plan is at the time of the grant of such option the owner of stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any parent corporation or
any subsidiary, then the following special provisions shall be applicable to the Incentive Stock Option granted to such individual: 
  
 (A) The purchase price per Share subject to such Incentive Stock Options shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of one share of Common Stock
at the time of grant; and 
  
 (B) The option exercise period shall
not exceed five years from the date of grant. 
  
 (iii) Section
422. All Incentive Stock Options shall otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code, as the same shall be amended from time to time. 
  
 5. AWARD SETTLEMENT AND PAYMENTS 
  
 (a) Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. An award may contain the right to receive dividends or dividend equivalent payments which may be paid currently
credited to a participant’s account. Any such crediting of dividends or dividend equivalents or reinvestment in Shares may be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Plan Administrator shall establish, including the
reinvestment of such credited amounts in Share equivalents. 
  
 (b) Payments. Awards may be settled through cash payments, the delivery of Shares, the granting of awards or combination thereof as the Plan Administrator shall determine. Any award settlement, including payment deferrals, may be subject to
such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Plan Administrator shall determine. The Plan Administrator may permit or require the deferral of any award payment, subject to such rules and procedures as it may establish, which may include
provisions for the payment or crediting of interest, or dividend equivalents, including converting such credits into deferred Share equivalents. 
  
 6. PLAN AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 
  
 (a) Amendments. The Company’s Board of Directors may amend this Plan as it deems necessary and appropriate to better achieve the Plan’s purpose;
provided however, that any amendment to the Plan which would require approval of the Company’s stockholders under applicable law, or under the rules or guidelines of any exchange or automatic quotation system on which the Shares are traded or
included, then, in any of such events, such stockholder approval of any such amendment shall also be obtained. 
  
 (b) Plan Suspensions and Termination. The Board of Directors of the Company 
  

 6 of 8 

 may suspend or terminate this Plan at any time. Any such suspension or termination shall not of itself impair any
outstanding award granted under the Plan or the applicable participant’s rights regarding such award. If not earlier terminated, this Plan shall terminate upon the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the Plan. Unless (i)an earlier
termination is specified or (ii) a later termination is specified with respect to awards granted to employees outside of the United States, awards granted under the Plan shall terminate upon the tenth anniversary of their date of grant. 

 
 7. MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 (a) No Individual Rights. No person shall have any claim or right to be
granted an award under the Plan. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any employee or other person any right to continue to be employed by or to perform services for the Company, any subsidiary or related
entity. The right to terminate the employment of or performance of services by any Plan participant at any time and for any reason is specifically reserved to the employing entity. 
  
 (b) Binding Arbitration. Any dispute or disagreement regarding participation and/or an award recipient’s rights under
the Plan shall be settled solely by binding arbitration in accordance with the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association. 
  
 (c) Unfunded Plan. The Plan shall be unfunded and shall not create (or be construed to create) a trust or a separate fund or funds. The Plan shall not
establish any fiduciary relationship between the Company and any participant or beneficiary of a participant. To the extent any person holds any obligation of the Company by virtue of an award granted under the Plan, such obligation shall merely
constitute a general unsecured liability of the Company and accordingly shall not confer upon such person any right, title or interest in any assets of the Company. 
  
 (d) Other Benefit and Compensation Programs. Unless otherwise specifically determined by the Plan Administrator, settlements
of awards received by participants under the Plan shall not be deemed a part of a participant’s regular, recurring compensation for purposes of calculating payments or benefits from any Company benefit plan or severance program. Further, the
Company may adopt other compensation programs, plans or arrangements as it deems appropriate. 
  
 (e) No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any award, and the Plan Administrator shall determine whether cash shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any
fractional Shares, or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be canceled. 
  
 (f) Special Provision Regarding Termination of Directorship. If a participant that is a member of the Board terminates his or her services as a member of the Board by reason of death, disability or retirement (as
defined by the Plan Administrator in the written agreement evidencing the award to such Board member), an award granted hereunder held by such person shall be automatically accelerated with respect to its exercisability and shall become immediately
exercisable in full for the remaining number of Shares subject to such award for three years after the date of such termination or until the expiration of the stated term of such award, whichever period is shorter, and thereafter such award shall
terminate; provided, however, that if such person dies or suffers a disability during said three-year period after retirement such award shall 
  

 7 of 8 

 remain exercisable in full for a period of three years after the date of such death or disability or until the expiration
of the stated term of such award, whichever period is shorter, and thereafter such award shall terminate. If a participant that is a member of the Board terminates his or her services as a member of the Board for any other reason, any portion of an
award granted hereunder held by such person which is not then exercisable shall terminate and any portion of such award which is then exercisable may be exercised for three months after the date of such termination or until the expiration of the
stated term of such award, whichever period is shorter, and thereafter such award shall terminate; provided, however, that if such person dies or suffers a disability during such three month period, such award may be exercised for a period of one
year after the date of such person’s death or disability or until the expiration of the stated term of such award, whichever period is shorter, in accordance with its terms, but only to the extent exercisable on the date of such person’s
death or disability.
