AMYRIS BIOTECHNOLOGIES, INC. 

2005 STOCK OPTION/STOCK ISSUANCE PLAN 

ARTICLE ONE 

GENERAL PROVISIONS 
  

	 	 I.
	 PURPOSE OF THE PLAN 

This 2005 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan is intended to promote the interests of Amyris Biotechnologies, Inc., a
California corporation, by providing eligible persons in the Corporation’s employ or service with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest, or otherwise increase their proprietary interest, in the Corporation as an incentive for them
to continue in such employ or service. 
 Capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings assigned to such
terms in the attached Appendix. 
  

	 	 II.
	 STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN 

A.        The Plan shall be divided into two (2) separate equity programs:

 (i)        the Option Grant Program under which
eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be granted options to purchase shares of Common Stock, and 

(ii)        the Stock Issuance Program under which eligible
persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be issued shares of Common Stock directly, either through the immediate purchase of such shares or as a bonus for services rendered the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary) or pursuant
to restricted stock units or other share right awards which vest upon the completion of a designated service period or the attainment of pre-established performance milestones. 

B.        The provisions of Articles One and Four shall apply to both equity
programs under the Plan and shall accordingly govern the interests of all persons under the Plan. 
  

	 	 III.
	 ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN 

A.        The Plan shall be administered by the Board. However, any or all
administrative functions otherwise exercisable by the Board may be delegated to the Committee. Members of the Committee shall serve for such period of time as the Board may determine and shall be subject to removal by the Board at any time. The
Board may also at any time terminate the functions of the Committee and reassume all powers and authority previously delegated to the Committee. 

B.        The Plan Administrator shall have full power and authority (subject to
the provisions of the Plan) to establish such rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate for 
  

 1 

 
proper administration of the Plan and to make such determinations under, and issue such interpretations of, the Plan and any outstanding options or stock issuances thereunder as it may deem
necessary or advisable. Decisions of the Plan Administrator shall be final and binding on all parties who have an interest in the Plan or any option grant or stock issuance thereunder. 

 

	 	 IV.
	 ELIGIBILITY 

A.        The persons eligible to participate in the Plan are as follows:

 (i)        Employees, 

(ii)        non-employee members of the Board or the
non-employee members of the board of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary, and 

(iii)        consultants and other independent advisors who
provide services to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary). 

B.        The Plan Administrator shall have full authority to determine,
(i) with respect to the grants made under the Option Grant Program, which eligible persons are to receive such grants, the time or times when those grants are to be made, the number of shares to be covered by each such grant, the status of the
granted option as either an Incentive Option or a Non-Statutory Option, the time or times when each option is to become exercisable, the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the option shares and the maximum term for which the option is to remain
outstanding, and (ii) with respect to stock issuances or other stock-based awards under the Stock Issuance Program, which eligible persons are to receive such issuances or awards, the time or times when those issuances or awards are to be made,
the number of shares subject to such issuance or award to each Participant, the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the issued shares and the consideration to be paid by the Participant for such shares. 

C.        The Plan Administrator shall have the absolute discretion either to
grant options in accordance with the Option Grant Program or to effect stock issuances in accordance with the Stock Issuance Program. 
  

	 	 V.
	 STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN 

A.        The stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized but
unissued or reacquired Common Stock. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued over the term of the Plan shall not exceed Five Million Nine Hundred Forty-Two Thousand Seven Hundred (5,942,700) shares. 

B.        Shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options shall be
available for subsequent issuance under the Plan to the extent (i) the options expire or terminate for any reason prior to exercise in full or (ii) the options are cancelled in accordance with the cancellation-regrant provisions of Article
Two. Unvested shares issued under the Plan and subsequently repurchased by the Corporation, at a price per share not greater than the option exercise or direct issue price paid per share, pursuant to the Corporation’s repurchase rights under
the Plan shall be added back to the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for 
  

 2 

 
issuance under the Plan and shall accordingly be available for reissuance through one or more subsequent option grants or direct stock issuances under the Plan. 

C.        Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock
split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made to
(i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the Plan and (ii) the number and/or class of securities and the exercise price per share in effect under each outstanding option in order to prevent the dilution or
enlargement of benefits thereunder. The adjustments determined by the Plan Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive. In no event shall any such adjustments be made in connection with the conversion of one or more outstanding shares of
the Corporation’s preferred stock into shares of Common Stock.

 ARTICLE TWO 

OPTION GRANT PROGRAM 
  

	 	 I.
	 OPTION TERMS 

Each option shall be evidenced by one or more documents in the form approved by the Plan Administrator; provided,
however, that each such document shall comply with the terms specified below. Each document evidencing an Incentive Option shall, in addition, be subject to the provisions of the Plan applicable to such options. 

A.        Exercise Price. 

1.        The exercise price per share shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator
in accordance with the following provisions: 

(i)        The exercise price per share shall not be less than
one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date. 

(ii)        If the person to whom the option is granted is a 10%
Stockholder, then the exercise price per share shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date. 

2.        The exercise price shall become immediately due upon exercise of the
option and shall, subject to the provisions of Section I of Article Four and the documents evidencing the option, be payable in cash or check made payable to the Corporation. Should the Common Stock be registered under Section 12 of the 1934
Act at the time the option is exercised, then the exercise price may also be paid as follows: 

(i)        in shares of Common Stock held for the requisite
period necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation’s earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date, or 

(ii)        to the extent the option is exercised for vested
shares, through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Optionee shall concurrently provide irrevocable instructions (A) to a brokerage firm (reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation for purposes of administering such
procedure in compliance with any applicable pre-clearance or pre-notification requirements) to effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient
funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation by reason of such exercise and (B) to the Corporation to deliver the
certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm on the settlement date in order to complete the sale. 
  

 4 

 Except to the extent such sale and remittance procedure is utilized,
payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made on the Exercise Date. 

B.        Exercise and Term of
Options.    Each option shall be exercisable at such time or times, during such period and for such number of shares as shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the documents evidencing the option
grant. However, no option shall have a term in excess of ten (10) years measured from the option grant date. 

C.        Effect of Termination of Service. 

1.        The following provisions shall govern the exercise of any options held
by the Optionee at the time of cessation of Service or death: 

(i)        Should the Optionee cease to remain in Service for
any reason other than death, Disability or Misconduct, then the Optionee shall have a period of three (3) months following the date of such cessation of Service during which to exercise each outstanding option held by such Optionee. 

(ii)        Should Optionee’s Service terminate by reason
of Disability, then the Optionee shall have a period of twelve (12) months following the date of such cessation of Service during which to exercise each outstanding option held by such Optionee. 

(iii)        If the Optionee dies while holding an outstanding
option, then the personal representative of his or her estate or the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee’s will or the laws of inheritance or the Optionee’s designated beneficiary or beneficiaries
of that option shall have a twelve (12)-month period following the date of the Optionee’s death to exercise such option. 

(iv)        Under no circumstances, however, shall any such
option be exercisable after the specified expiration of the option term. 

(v)        During the applicable post-Service exercise period,
the option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of vested shares for which the option is exercisable on the date of the Optionee’s cessation of Service. No additional shares shall vest under the option following the
Optionee’s cessation of Service, except to the extent (if any) specifically authorized by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion pursuant to an express written agreement with Optionee. Upon the expiration of the applicable exercise
period or (if earlier) upon the expiration of the option term, the option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any vested shares for which the option has not been exercised. 

(vi)        Should Optionee’s Service be terminated for
Misconduct or should Optionee otherwise engage in Misconduct while holding one or more outstanding options under the Plan, then all those options shall terminate immediately and cease to remain outstanding. 

 

 5 

 2.        The Plan Administrator
shall have the discretion, exercisable either at the time an option is granted or at any time while the option remains outstanding, to: 

(i)        extend the period of time for which the option is to
remain exercisable following Optionee’s cessation of Service or death from the limited period otherwise in effect for that option to such greater period of time as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate, but in no event beyond the
expiration of the option term, and/or 

(ii)        permit the option to be exercised, during the
applicable post-Service exercise period, not only with respect to the number of vested shares of Common Stock for which such option is exercisable at the time of the Optionee’s cessation of Service but also with respect to one or more
additional installments in which the Optionee would have vested under the option had the Optionee continued in Service. 

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

E.        Unvested Shares.    The Plan
Administrator shall have the discretion to grant options which are exercisable for unvested shares of Common Stock. Should the Optionee cease Service while holding such unvested shares, the Corporation shall have the right to repurchase any or all
of those unvested shares at a price per share equal to the lower of (i) the exercise price paid per share or (ii) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock at the time of Optionee’s cessation of Service. The terms upon which
such repurchase right shall be exercisable (including the period and procedure for exercise and the appropriate vesting schedule for the purchased shares) shall be established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such
repurchase right. The Plan Administrator may not impose a vesting schedule upon any option grant or the shares of Common Stock subject to that option which is more restrictive than twenty percent (20%) vesting per year of Service, with the
initial vesting to occur not later than one (1) year after the option grant date. However, such limitation shall not be applicable to any option grants made to individuals who are officers of the Corporation, non- employee Board members or
independent consultants. 
 F.        First Refusal
Rights.    Until such time as the Common Stock is first registered under Section 12 of the 1934 Act, the Corporation shall have the right of first refusal with respect to any proposed disposition by the Optionee (or
any successor in interest) of any shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan. Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such right.

 G.        Limited Transferability of
Options.    An Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee during his or her lifetime and shall not be assignable or transferable other than by will or by the laws of inheritance following the
Optionee’s death. A Non-Statutory Option may be assigned in whole or in part during the Optionee’s lifetime to one or more members of the Optionee’s family or to a trust established exclusively for the Optionee and/or one or more such
family members or to Optionee’s former spouse, to the extent such assignment is in connection with the Optionee’s estate plan or pursuant to a domestic relations 

 

 6 

 
order. The assigned portion may only be exercised by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the Non-Statutory Option pursuant to the assignment. The terms applicable to the
assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for the option immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such documents issued to the assignee as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Optionee may also designate one or more persons as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of his or her outstanding options under the Plan, and those options shall, in accordance with such designation, automatically be transferred to such beneficiary
or beneficiaries upon the Optionee’s death while holding those options. Such beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the transferred options subject to all the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement evidencing each such transferred
option, including (without limitation) the limited time period during which the option may be exercised following the Optionee’s death. 
  

	 	 II.
	 INCENTIVE OPTIONS 

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

A.        Eligibility.    Incentive Options
may only be granted to Employees. 
 B.        Dollar
Limitation.    The aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) for which one or more options granted to any Employee under the Plan (or any other
option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) may for the first time become exercisable as Incentive Options during any one (1) calendar year shall not exceed the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). To the extent the
Employee holds two (2) or more such options which become exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year, the foregoing limitation on the exercisability of such options as Incentive Options shall be applied on the basis of the order in
which such options are granted, except to the extent otherwise provided under applicable law or regulation. 

C.        10% Stockholder.    If any Employee
to whom an Incentive Option is granted is a 10% Stockholder, then the option term shall not exceed five (5) years measured from the option grant date. 
  

	 	 III.
	 CHANGE IN CONTROL 

A.        The shares subject to each option outstanding under the Plan at the
time of a Change in Control shall automatically vest in full so that each such option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, become exercisable for all of the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to that
option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock. However, the shares subject to an outstanding option shall not vest on such an accelerated basis if and to the extent: (i) such option is assumed
by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction and any repurchase rights of the 

 

 7 

 
Corporation with respect to the unvested option shares are concurrently assigned to such successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continued in effect or (ii) such option is to
be replaced with a cash incentive program of the Corporation or any successor corporation which preserves the spread existing on the unvested option shares at the time of the Change in Control (the excess of the Fair Market Value of those shares
over the aggregate exercise price payable for such shares) and provides for subsequent payout of that spread in accordance with the same vesting schedule applicable to those unvested option shares or (iii) the acceleration of such option is
subject to other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time of the option grant. 

B.        All outstanding repurchase rights shall also terminate automatically,
and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, in the event of any Change in Control, except to the extent: (i) those repurchase rights are assigned to the successor corporation (or parent
thereof) or otherwise continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction or (ii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time the repurchase
right is issued. 
 C.        Immediately following the consummation of
the Change in Control, all outstanding options shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continued in effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control
transaction. 
 D.        Each option which is assumed in connection
with a Change in Control or otherwise continued in effect shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Change in Control, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of
such Change in Control, had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Change in Control. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to (i) the number and class of securities available for issuance under the Plan following the
consummation of such Change in Control and (ii) the exercise price payable per share under each outstanding option, provided the aggregate exercise price payable for such securities shall remain the same. To the extent the actual holders of the
Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control, the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption or continuation of the outstanding options under
this Plan, substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Change in Control. 

E.        The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable either
at the time the option is granted or at any time while the option remains outstanding, to structure one or more options so that those options shall automatically accelerate and vest in full (and any repurchase rights of the Corporation with respect
to the unvested shares subject to those options shall immediately terminate) upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, whether or not those options are to be assumed in the Change in Control or otherwise continued in effect. 

F.        The Plan Administrator shall also have full power and authority,
exercisable either at the time the option is granted or at any time while the option remains 
  

 8 

 
outstanding, to structure such option so that the shares subject to that option will automatically vest on an accelerated basis should the Optionee’s Service terminate by reason of an
Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of any Change in Control in which the option is assumed or otherwise continued in effect and the repurchase rights applicable
to those shares do not otherwise terminate. Any option so accelerated shall remain exercisable for the fully-vested option shares until the expiration or sooner termination of the option term. In addition, the Plan Administrator may provide that one
or more of the Corporation’s outstanding repurchase rights with respect to shares held by the Optionee at the time of such Involuntary Termination shall immediately terminate on an accelerated basis, and the shares subject to those terminated
rights shall accordingly vest at that time. 
 G.        The portion of
any Incentive Option accelerated in connection with a Change in Control shall remain exercisable as an Incentive Option only to the extent the applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation is not exceeded. To the extent such dollar
limitation is exceeded, the accelerated portion of such option shall be exercisable as a Non-Statutory Option under the Federal tax laws. 

H.        The grant of options under the Plan shall in no way affect the right
of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. 

 

	 	 IV.
	 CANCELLATION AND REGRANT OF OPTIONS 

The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to effect, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of the
affected option holders, the cancellation of any or all outstanding options under the Plan and to grant in substitution therefor new options covering the same or different number of shares of Common Stock but with an exercise price per share based
on the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the new option grant date.

 ARTICLE THREE 

STOCK ISSUANCE PROGRAM 
  

	 	 I.
	 STOCK ISSUANCE TERMS 

Shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program through direct and immediate issuances without any
intervening option grants. Each such stock issuance shall be evidenced by a Stock Issuance Agreement which complies with the terms specified below. Shares of Common Stock may also be issued under the Stock Issuance Program pursuant to share right
awards or restricted stock units which entitle the recipients to receive the shares underlying those awards or units upon the attainment of designated performance goals or the satisfaction of specified Service requirements or upon the expiration of
a designated time period following the vesting of those awards or units. 

A.        Issue Price. 

1.        The issue price per share shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator but
shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the issue date. 

2.        Subject to the provisions of Section I of Article Four, shares of
Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program for any of the following items of consideration which the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate in each individual instance: 

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

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

(iii)        any other valid consideration under the California
Corporations Code. 
 B.        Vesting Provisions.

 1.        Shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance
Program may, in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be fully and immediately vested upon issuance or may vest in one or more installments over the Participant’s period of Service or upon attainment of specified performance objectives.
Shares of Common Stock may also be issued under the Stock Issuance Program pursuant to share right awards or restricted stock units which entitle the recipients to receive the shares underlying those awards or units upon the attainment of designated
performance goals or the satisfaction of specified Service requirements or upon the expiration of a designated time period following the vesting of those awards or units, including (without limitation) a deferred distribution date following the
termination of the Participant’s Service. However, the Plan Administrator may not impose a vesting schedule upon any stock issuance or other stock-based award made under the Stock Issuance Program which is more restrictive than twenty percent
(20%) vesting per year of Service, with initial vesting to occur not later than the completion of one (1) year of Service measured from the date of such issuance or 

 

 10 

 
award. Such limitation shall not apply to any Common Stock issuances made to the officers of the Corporation, non-employee Board members or independent consultants. 

2.        Any new, substituted or additional securities or other property
(including money paid other than as a regular cash dividend) which the Participant may have the right to receive with respect to the Participant’s unvested shares of Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization,
combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration shall be issued subject to (i) the same vesting requirements applicable to the
Participant’s unvested shares of Common Stock and (ii) such escrow arrangements as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate. 

3.        The Participant shall have full stockholder rights with respect to any
shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant under the Stock Issuance Program, whether or not the Participant’s interest in those shares is vested. Accordingly, the Participant shall have the right to vote such shares and to receive any
regular cash dividends paid on such shares. However, dividend-equivalent units may be paid or credited, either in cash or in actual or phantom shares of Common Stock, on outstanding restricted stock unit or share right awards, subject to such terms
and conditions as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate. 

4.        Should the Participant cease to remain in Service while holding one or
more unvested shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program or should the performance objectives not be attained with respect to one or more such unvested shares of Common Stock, then those shares shall be immediately surrendered to
the Corporation for cancellation, and the Participant shall have no further stockholder rights with respect to those shares. To the extent the surrendered shares were previously issued to the Participant for consideration paid in cash or cash
equivalent (including the Participant’s purchase-money indebtedness), the Corporation shall repay to the Participant the lower of (i) the cash consideration paid for the surrendered shares or (ii) the Fair Market Value of those shares
at the time of Participant’s cessation of Service and shall cancel the unpaid principal balance of any outstanding purchase-money note of the Participant attributable to such surrendered shares by the applicable clause (i) or
(ii) amount. 
 5.        The Plan Administrator may in its
discretion waive the surrender and cancellation of one or more unvested shares of Common Stock (or other assets attributable thereto) which would otherwise occur upon the non-completion of the vesting schedule applicable to those shares. Such waiver
shall result in the immediate vesting of the Participant’s interest in the shares of Common Stock as to which the waiver applies. Such waiver may be effected at any time, whether before or after the Participant’s cessation of Service or
the attainment or non-attainment of the applicable performance objectives. 

6.        Outstanding share right awards or restricted stock units under the
Stock Issuance Program shall automatically terminate, and no shares of Common Stock shall actually be issued in satisfaction of those awards or units, if the performance goals or Service requirements established for such awards or units are not
attained or satisfied. The Plan Administrator, however, shall have the discretionary authority to issue vested shares of Common 

 

 11 

 
Stock under one or more outstanding share right awards or restricted stock units as to which the designated performance goals or Service requirements have not been attained or satisfied.

 C.        First Refusal Rights. Until such time as the
Common Stock is first registered under Section 12 of the 1934 Act, the Corporation shall have the right of first refusal with respect to any proposed disposition by the Participant (or any successor in interest) of any shares of Common Stock
issued under the Stock Issuance Program. Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such right. 

 

	 	 II.
	 CHANGE IN CONTROL 

A.        Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, all outstanding repurchase
rights under the Stock Issuance Program shall terminate automatically, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, except to the extent: (i) those repurchase rights are assigned to the
successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction or (ii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed by the Plan
Administrator at the time the repurchase right is issued. 

B.        Each outstanding restricted stock unit or share right award assumed in
connection with a Change in Control or otherwise continued in effect shall be adjusted immediately after the consummation of that Change in Control so as to apply to the number and class of securities into which the shares of Common Stock subject to
the award immediately prior to the Change in Control would have been converted in consummation of such Change in Control had those shares actually been outstanding at that time. To the extent the actual holders of the Corporation’s outstanding
Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control, the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption or continuation of the outstanding restricted stock units or share right
awards, substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Change in Control transaction. If any such restricted stock unit or share right award
is not so assumed or otherwise continued in effect, or if such unit or award is not replaced with a cash incentive award which preserves the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock underlying that unit or award at the time of the Change in Control and
provides for subsequent payout of the dollar amount in accordance with the vesting schedule in effect for such unit or award at the time of the Change in Control, then such unit or award shall vest, and the shares of Common Stock subject to such
unit or award shall become issuable immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control. 

C.        The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to
structure one or more unvested stock issuances or one or more restricted stock unit or other share right awards under the Stock Issuance Program so that the shares of Common Stock subject to those issuances or awards shall automatically vest (or
vest and become issuable) in whole or in part immediately upon the occurrence of a Change in Control or upon the subsequent termination of the Participant’s Service by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to
exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of that Change in Control transaction. 
  

 12 

	 	 III.
	 SHARE ESCROW/LEGENDS 

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

 

 13 

 ARTICLE FOUR 

MISCELLANEOUS 
  

	 	 I.
	 FINANCING 

The Plan Administrator may permit any Optionee or Participant to pay the option exercise price under the Option Grant
Program or the purchase price for shares issued under the Stock Issuance Program by delivering a full-recourse promissory note payable in one or more installments which bears interest at a market rate and is secured by the purchased shares. In no
event, however, may the maximum credit available to the Optionee or Participant exceed the sum of (i) the aggregate option exercise price or purchase price payable for the purchased shares plus (ii) any applicable income and employment tax
liability incurred by the Optionee or the Participant in connection with the option exercise or share purchase. 
  

	 	 II.
	 EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF PLAN 

A.        The Plan shall become effective when adopted by the Board, but no
option granted under the Plan may be exercised, and no shares shall be issued under the Plan, until the Plan is approved by the Corporation’s stockholders. If such stockholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months after the
date of the Board’s adoption of the Plan, then all options previously granted under the Plan shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, and no further options shall be granted and no shares shall be issued under the Plan. Subject to such
