Purpose and Effective Date    The purpose of this Plan is to provide the non-employee members of the Board of Directors (the “Board”)  of Casper Sleep Inc. (the “Company”) with an opportunity to elect the date on which their Eligible Director  Compensation granted pursuant to the Compensation Policy and the Company’s Equity Plan will be settled  and paid, including any deferral thereon (in addition to any vesting requirements set forth in an RSU Grant  Agreement, as applicable) and to establish the terms for such elections and deferrals.     Section 2. Eligibility    Any member of the Board (a “Director”) who is not an officer or employee of the Company or a subsidiary  of the Company is eligible to participate in the Plan.    Section 3. Elections to With Respect to a Director Award RSU     (a)  Normal Time of Election . Elections under this Plan with respect to any Eligible Director  Compensation for a Plan Year shall be made no later than the date specified by the Plan Administrator, but  no later than December 31 of the calendar year prior to the year in which the services are performed.  Any  such election shall be effective for Eligible Director Compensation earned in the following calendar year.     (b) Initial Service as a Director. Notwithstanding Section 3(a), a new Director nominee (who  is not at the time of nomination a sitting Director) may make an initial election within 30 days (or such  earlier date as specified by the Plan Administrator) following the date the nominee commences service as  a Director and such election shall be effective for the Eligible Director Compensation earned following the  later of the date the nominee commences services as a Director and the date the election form is provided  to the General Counsel and Secretary of the Company.  A Director shall have no right to defer Eligible  Director Compensation under the Plan with respect to periods of service prior to the date such Director  commences service as a Director (and any such deferral election shall not apply to any compensation for  services performed prior to the date such election is submitted as provided in this Section 3).    (c)  Manner of Election . Unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator, a participant  may elect to a Settlement Date for up to 100% of such participant’s Eligible Director Compensation for a  Plan Year within the time periods prescribed under this Section 3 by giving written notice on an election  form provided by the Company, which notice shall specify (to the extent applicable) the Settlement Date  elected under Section 4.    (d)  Duration and Effect of Election. An election to defer Eligible Director Compensation shall  become effective and binding on the participant once the Plan Year to which the election applies has  commenced and, except as provided by this paragraph, once made, is irrevocable and may not be changed.  An election for a Plan Year may be cancelled upon demonstration of an “unforeseeable emergency” (within  the meaning of Section 409A) and with the concurrence of the Company. The Plan Administrator may in  its discretion provide that elections may be evergreen and apply to all future Plan Years until revoked  according to such procedures established by the Plan Administrator.  However, any revocation will only  apply to a future Plan Year.    

 

  - 2 -    Section 4. Settlement Date Election      (a) A participant may elect the Settlement Date of his or her Eligible Director Compensation  for a Plan Year to be paid upon the earlier of (i) a specified year in the future, between one (1) and ten (10)  years following the date of grant, provided the Settlement Date and payment will be made on the March 15  of the selected year (or the first business day immediately following March 15 if March 15 is not a business  day), unless otherwise provided for by the Administrator, or (ii) the participant’s Separation from Service.  If a participant does not make an election under this Plan with respect to such participant’s eligible Director  Award RSUs, then the Director Award RSUs will be paid as provided in the RSU Grant Agreement.  Distributions to be made upon a participant’s Separation from Service shall be made in a lump sum as soon  as practicable following the participant’s Separation from Service, but in no event later than December 31  of the year in which such Separation from Service occurs.   (b) Deferred Eligible Director Compensation, if applicable, shall be credited to the  participant’s Account in the form of Deferred Stock Units on the date it would otherwise have been paid or  granted, as applicable.  On such date, the Company shall credit to the participant’s Account with a number  of Deferred Stock Units equal to the Eligible Director Compensation that was deferred.  With respect to  deferred cash compensation, the number of Deferred Stock Units will be equal to (i) the portion of the cash  compensation that the participant elected to defer, divided by (ii) the fair market value of a share of  Common Stock on such date (determined by using the average closing price per share of Common Stock  for the 30 consecutive trading days ending on and including such date), rounded down to the nearest whole  Deferred Stock Unit.  No fractional Deferred Stock Units will be credited to a participant’s account.  Unused  cash attributable to a fractional Deferred Stock Unit will be refunded to the participant in cash as soon as  practicable following the original payment date.  A participant will be fully vested in each Deferred Stock  Unit that relates to deferred cash compensation. Each Deferred Stock Unit credited to a participant’s  Account shall carry with it a right to receive dividend equivalents in respect of the share of Common Stock  underlying such Deferred Stock Unit, unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator in its  discretion. The dividend equivalent right associated with a Deferred Stock Unit shall remain outstanding  until the distribution to the participant of his or her Eligible Director Compensation in accordance with  Section 4(a), and shall be paid in Shares or cash in the Plan Administrator’s sole discretion.  (c) If adjustments are made to the outstanding shares of Common Stock as a result of  recapitalization, merger, consolidation, split up, stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off or other distribution  of stock or property of the Company, extraordinary dividends combination of securities, exchange of  securities or other similar change in the capital structure of the Company (other than normal cash  dividends), an appropriate adjustment also will be made to (i) the number and kind of shares of Common  Stock for which Deferred Stock Units are outstanding, and (ii) the number of Deferred Stock Units credited  to each participant’s Account.  Section 5. Death or Disability Prior to Receipt    In the event of a participant’s death or Disability prior to the date elected by the participant to receive the  Eligible Director Compensation deferred hereunder, then such Eligible Director Compensation shall be paid  to the participant (or the participant’s estate or personal representative, as applicable) in a lump sum within  sixty (60) days following the date of the participant’s death or Disability.    Section 6. Participant's Rights Unsecured    Nothing in this Plan shall require the segregation of any assets of the Company or any type of funding by  the Company, it being the intention of the parties that the Plan be an unfunded arrangement for federal  income tax purposes. No participant shall have any rights to or interest in any specific assets or Shares by  

 

  - 3 -    reason of the Plan, and any participant’s rights to enforce payment of the obligations of the Company  hereunder shall be those of a general creditor of the Company.     Section 7. Assignability    No right to receive payments hereunder shall be transferable or assignable by a participant, except by will  or by the laws of descent and distribution. A participant may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise  encumber any interest in the participant’s Eligible Director Compensation and any attempt to do so shall  be void against, and shall not be recognized by, the Company.    Section 8. Administration    The Plan shall be administered by the Plan Administrator, who shall have the authority to adopt rules and  regulations for carrying out the Plan and interpret, construe and implement the provisions of the Plan  consistent with those applicable under the Equity Plan and Compensation Policy.  The Plan is intended to  serve the purposes of and to be consistent with any incentive compensation plan approved by the Company  for purposes of the Plan.    Section 9.  Construction    To the extent applicable to a participant, the Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A and any  regulations and guidance thereunder and shall be interpreted and administered in accordance with that  intent. If any provision of the Plan would otherwise conflict with or frustrate this intent, that provision will  be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid the conflict. The laws of the State of Delaware shall  govern all questions of law arising with respect to the Plan, without regard to the choice of law principles  of any jurisdiction that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. If any provision  of the Plan is held to be illegal or void, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions  of the Plan, but shall be fully severable, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or  invalid provision had never been inserted. Although the Plan Administrator shall use its best efforts to avoid  the imposition of taxation, interest and penalties under Section 409A, the tax treatment of deferrals under  this Plan is not warranted or guaranteed.  Neither the Company, its affiliates, their respective directors,  officers, employees and advisors, the Plan Administrator (nor its designee) shall be held liable for any taxes,  interest, penalties or other monetary amounts owed by any participant, beneficiary or other taxpayer as a  result of the Plan.     Section 10. Amendment    The Plan may at any time or from time to time be amended, modified or terminated by the Company. No  amendment, modification or termination shall, without the consent of the participant, adversely affect any  Deferred Stock Units previously awarded to a participant under this Plan, except that the Plan Administrator  may terminate the Plan and distribute the accounts under this Plan to participants in accordance with and  subject to the rules of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix), or successor provisions, and any generally  applicable guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service permitting such termination and distribution.   The Plan Administrator may delegate to a committee consisting of at least three employees of the Company  the authority to make technical amendments to the Plan and to establish procedures regarding elections  hereunder.     Section 11. Delay of Payments    

 

  - 4 -    To the extent permitted under Section 409A, the Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, delay  payment under any of the following circumstances, provided that the Plan Administrator treats all payments  to similarly situated participants on a reasonably consistent basis:    (a) Federal Securities Laws or Other Applicable Law.  A payment may be delayed where the  Plan Administrator reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will violate federal securities  laws or other applicable law; provided that the delayed payment is made at the earliest date at which the  Plan Administrator reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will not cause such violation.   For purposes of the preceding sentence, the making of a payment that would cause inclusion in gross income  or the application of any penalty provision or other provision of the Code is not treated as a violation of  applicable law.  (b) Administration. The Company may delay making payment in the event that it is not  administratively possible to make payment on the date (or within the periods) specified in this Plan or the  making of the payment would jeopardize the ability of the Company (or any entity which would be  considered to be a single employer with the Company under Section 414(b) or Section 414(c) of the Code)  to continue as a going concern, and in such case, the payment will be treated as made upon the date specified  in the Plan if the payment is made during the first calendar year in which the making of the payment would  not have such negative economic effect.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment must be made no later  than the latest possible date permitted under Section 409A.  (c) Specified Employee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a participant is  deemed at the time of his or her Separation from Service to be a “specified employee” for purposes of  Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, to the extent delayed commencement of payment of the participant’s  Account is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code,  such portion of the participant’s Account shall not be payable to the participant prior to the earlier of (a)  the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of the participant’s Separation from Service  or (b) death. Any amounts otherwise payable to the participant during such period following the  Participant’s Separation from Service that are not so paid by reason of this Section 11(c) shall be paid as  soon as practicable (and in all events within thirty (30) days) after the date that is six (6) months after the  Participant’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, as soon as practicable, and in all events within thirty  (30) days, after the date of the Participant’s death).  Section 12. Definitions    (a) “Account” shall mean a bookkeeping account created by the Company for each participant  in accordance with an election by a participant to receive deferred stock compensation under Section 3  hereof. The Account shall be a bookkeeping entry only and shall be used solely as a device to measure and  determine the amounts, if any, to be paid to a participant under the Plan.

From time to time, the Board may increase or decrease the size of the Committee, add additional members to, remove members (with or without cause) from, appoint new members in substitution therefor, and fill vacancies, however caused, in the Committee. The Committee shall act pursuant to a vote of the majority of its members or, in the case of a Committee comprised of only two members, the unanimous consent of its members, whether present or not, or by the written consent of the majority of its members and minutes shall be kept of all of its meetings and copies thereof shall be provided to the Board. Subject to the limitations prescribed by the Plan and the Board, the Committee may establish and follow such rules and regulations for the conduct of its business as it may determine to be advisable.

 3.5 Committee Composition. Except as otherwise determined by the Board, the Committee shall consist solely of two or more Directors appointed to the Committee from time to time by the Board. 
  
 3.6 Indemnification. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as Directors or members of the Committee, and to the extent allowed by Applicable Laws, the Committee shall be indemnified by the Company against the reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees, actually incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding or in connection with any appeal therein, to which the Committee may be party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan, and against all amounts paid by the Committee in settlement thereof (provided, however, that the settlement has been approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) or paid by the Committee in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such Committee did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company, or in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reason to believe that the conduct complained of was unlawful; provided, however, that within 60 days after institution of any such action, suit or proceeding, such Committee shall, in writing, offer the Company the opportunity at its own expense to handle and defend such action, suit or proceeding. 
  
 4. Shares Subject to the Plan.
  
 4.1 Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 11, a total of 18,000,000 shares of Common Stock shall be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan. During the terms of the Awards, the Company shall keep available at all times the number of shares of Common Stock required to satisfy such Awards. 
  
 4.2 Shares of Common Stock available for distribution under the Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares.
  
 4.3 Any shares of Common Stock subject to an Award that is canceled, forfeited or expires prior to exercise or realization, either in full or in part, shall again become available for issuance under the Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: shares subject to an Award under the Plan shall not again be made available for issuance or delivery under the Plan if such shares are (a) shares tendered in payment of an Option or (b) shares delivered or withheld by the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligation.
  
 4.4 If the Committee authorizes the assumption of awards pursuant to Section 3.2 or Section 12.1 hereof, the assumption will reduce the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan in the same manner as if the assumed awards had been granted under the Plan.

 5. Eligibility.
  
 5.1 Eligibility for Specific Awards. Incentive Stock Options may be granted to Employees only. Awards other than Incentive Stock Options may be granted to Employees, Consultants and Directors. 
  
 5.2 Ten Percent Shareholders. A Ten Percent Shareholder shall not be granted an Incentive Stock Option unless the Option Exercise Price is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the Grant Date and the Option is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the Grant Date. 
  
 6. Option Provisions. Each Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Option so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 6, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. All Options shall be separately designated Incentive Stock Options or Non-qualified Stock Options at the time of grant, and, if certificates are issued, a separate certificate or certificates will be issued for shares of Common Stock purchased on exercise of each type of Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no liability to any Participant or any other person if an Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option fails to qualify as such at any time or if an Option is determined to constitute "nonqualified deferred compensation" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the terms of such Option do not satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The provisions of separate Options need not be identical, but each Option shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Option or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions: 
  
 6.1 Term. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.2 regarding Ten Percent Shareholders, no Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the Grant Date. The term of a Non-qualified Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, no Non-qualified Stock Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the Grant Date.
  
 6.2 Exercise Price of an Incentive Stock Option. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.2 regarding Ten Percent Shareholders, the Option Exercise Price of each Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Incentive Stock Option may be granted with an Option Exercise Price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code. 
  
 6.3 Exercise Price of a Non-qualified Stock Option. The Option Exercise Price of each Non-qualified Stock Option shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Non-qualified Stock Option may be granted with an Option Exercise Price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.
  
 	 
	9
	

	 

  
 6.4 Method of Exercise. The Option Exercise Price shall be paid, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, either (a) in cash or by certified or bank check at the time the Option is exercised or (b) in the discretion of the Committee, upon such terms as the Committee shall approve: (i) by delivery to the Company of other shares of Common Stock, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company, with a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the Option Exercise Price (or portion thereof) due for the number of shares being acquired; (ii) by a "net exercise" procedure effected by withholding the minimum number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable in respect of an Option that are needed to pay the Option Exercise Price; (iii) by any combination of the foregoing methods; or (iv) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Committee. Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Option, the Option Exercise Price that is paid by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock acquired, directly or indirectly from the Company, shall be paid only by shares of Common Stock that have been held for more than six months (or such longer or shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes). 
  
 6.5 Transferability of an Incentive Stock Option. An Incentive Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by the Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option. 
  
 6.6 Transferability of a Non-qualified Stock Option. A Non-qualified Stock Option may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be transferable to a Permitted Transferee, upon written approval by the Committee to the extent provided in the Award Agreement. If the Non-qualified Stock Option does not provide for transferability, then the Non-qualified Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by the Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option. 
  
 6.7 Vesting of Options. Each Option may, but need not, vest and therefore become exercisable in periodic installments that may, but need not, be equal. The Option may be subject to such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may be exercised (which may be based on performance or other criteria) as the Committee may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of individual Options may vary. No Option may be exercised for a fraction of a share of Common Stock. The Committee may, but shall not be required to, provide for an acceleration of vesting and exercisability in the terms of any Award Agreement upon the occurrence of a specified event.
  
 	 
	10
	

	 

  
 6.8 Termination of Continuous Service. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement or in an employment agreement the terms of which have been approved by the Committee, in the event an Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates (other than upon the Optionholder's death or Disability), the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination) but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (a) the date three months following the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service or (b) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Award Agreement; provided that, if the termination of Continuous Service is by the Company for Cause, all outstanding Options (whether or not vested) shall immediately terminate and cease to be exercisable. If, after termination, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified in the Award Agreement, the Option shall terminate. 
  
 6.9 Disability of Optionholder. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, in the event that an Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder's Disability, the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination), but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (a) the date 12 months following such termination or (b) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Award Agreement. If, after termination, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein or in the Award Agreement, the Option shall terminate. 
  
 6.10 Death of Optionholder. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, in the event an Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder's death, then the Option may be exercised (to the extent the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of death) by the Optionholder's estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated to exercise the Option upon the Optionholder's death, but only within the period ending on the earlier of (a) the date 12 months following the date of death or (b) the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement. If, after the Optionholder's death, the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein or in the Award Agreement, the Option shall terminate. 
  
 6.11 Incentive Stock Option $100,000 Limitation. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time of grant) of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Optionholder during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its Affiliates) exceeds $100,000, the Options or portions thereof which exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) shall be treated as Non-qualified Stock Options. 
  
 6.12 Detrimental Activity. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, all outstanding Options (whether or not vested) shall immediately terminate and cease to be exercisable on the date on which an Optionholder engages in Detrimental Activity.

 7. Restricted Awards. A Restricted Award is an Award of actual shares of Common Stock ("Restricted Stock") or an Award of hypothetical Common Stock Units ("Restricted Stock Units") having a value equal to the Fair Market Value of an identical number of shares of Common Stock. Restricted Awards may, but need not, provide that such Restricted Award may not be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of, pledged or hypothecated as collateral for a loan or as security for the performance of any obligation or for any other purpose for such period (the "Restricted Period") as the Committee shall determine. Each Restricted Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Restricted Award so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 7, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement.
  
 7.1 Restricted Stock. Each Participant granted Restricted Stock shall execute and deliver to the Company an Award Agreement with respect to the Restricted Stock setting forth the restrictions and other terms and conditions applicable to such Restricted Stock. If the Committee determines that the Restricted Stock shall be held by the Company or in escrow rather than delivered to the Participant pending the release of the applicable restrictions, the Committee may require the Participant to additionally execute and deliver to the Company (A) an escrow agreement satisfactory to the Committee, if applicable and (B) the appropriate blank stock power with respect to the Restricted Stock covered by such agreement. If a Participant fails to execute an agreement evidencing an Award of Restricted Stock and, if applicable, an escrow agreement and stock power, the Award shall be null and void. Subject to the restrictions set forth in the Award, the Participant generally shall have the rights and privileges of a shareholder as to such Restricted Stock, including the right to vote such Restricted Stock and the right to receive dividends. 
  
 7.2 Restricted Stock Units. The terms and conditions of a grant of Restricted Stock Units shall be reflected in an Award Agreement. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued at the time a Restricted Stock Unit is granted, and the Company will not be required to set aside funds for the payment of any such Award. A Participant shall have no voting rights with respect to any Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder. 
  
 7.3 Restrictions. 
  
 (a) Restrictions on Restricted Stock. Restricted Stock awarded to a Participant shall be subject to the following restrictions until the expiration of the Restricted Period, and to such other terms and conditions as may be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement: (A) if an escrow arrangement is used, the Participant shall not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate; (B) the shares shall be subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in the Award Agreement; (C) the shares shall be subject to forfeiture to the extent provided in the applicable Award Agreement; and (D) to the extent such shares are forfeited, the stock certificates shall be returned to the Company, and all rights of the Participant to such shares and as a shareholder with respect to such shares shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company. 
  
 (b) Restrictions on Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units awarded to a Participant shall be subject to (A) forfeiture until the expiration of the Restricted Period and satisfaction of any applicable performance goals during such period, to the extent provided in the applicable Award Agreement, and to the extent such Restricted Stock Units are forfeited, all rights of the Participant to such Restricted Stock Units shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company and (B) such other terms and conditions as may be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.
  
 (c) Committee Discretion to Remove Restrictions. The Committee shall have the authority to remove any or all of the restrictions on the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units whenever it may determine that, by reason of changes in Applicable Laws or other changes in circumstances arising after the Grant Date, such action is appropriate.
  
 	 
	12
	

	 

  
 7.4 Restricted Period. The Restricted Period shall commence on the Grant Date and end at the time or times set forth on a schedule established by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding any such vesting dates, the Committee may in its sole discretion accelerate the vesting of any Restricted Award at any time and for any reason. The Committee may, but shall not be required to, provide for an acceleration of vesting in the terms of any Award Agreement upon the occurrence of a specified event. 
  
 7.5 Delivery of Restricted Stock and Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any shares of Restricted Stock, the restrictions set forth in Section 7.3(a) and the applicable Award Agreement shall be of no further force or effect with respect to such shares, except as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. If an escrow arrangement is used, upon such expiration, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his or her beneficiary, without charge, the stock certificate evidencing the shares of Restricted Stock which have not then been forfeited and with respect to which the Restricted Period has expired (to the nearest full share). Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any outstanding Restricted Stock Units, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his or her beneficiary, without charge, one share of Common Stock for each outstanding Restricted Stock Unit; provided, however, that if explicitly provided in the Award Agreement, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay part cash or part cash and part Common Stock in lieu of delivering only shares of Common Stock for vested Restricted Stock Units. If a cash payment is made in lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of the date on which the Restricted Period lapsed.
  
 No Restricted Award may be granted or settled for a fraction of a share of Common Stock. 
  
 8. Securities Law Compliance.
  
 8.1 Securities Registration. No Awards shall be granted under the Plan and no shares of Common Stock shall be issued and delivered upon the exercise of Options granted under the Plan unless and until the Company and/or the Participant have complied with all applicable federal and state registration, listing and/or qualification requirements and all other requirements of law or of any regulatory agencies having jurisdiction. 
  
 8.2 Representations; Legends. The Committee may, as a condition to the grant of any Award or the exercise of any Option under the Plan, require a Participant to (i) represent in writing that the shares of Common Stock received in connection with such Award are being acquired for investment and not with a view to distribution and (ii) make such other representations and warranties as are deemed appropriate by counsel to the Company. Each certificate representing shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan shall bear a legend in such form as the Company deems appropriate. 
  
 	 
	13
	

	 

  
 9. Use of Proceeds from Stock. Proceeds from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to Awards, or upon exercise thereof, shall constitute general funds of the Company. 
  
 10. Miscellaneous.
  
 10.1 Acceleration of Exercisability and Vesting. The Committee shall have the power to accelerate the time at which an Award may first be exercised or the time during which an Award or any part thereof will vest in accordance with the Plan, notwithstanding the provisions in the Award stating the time at which it may first be exercised or the time during which it will vest. 
  
 10.2 Shareholder Rights. Except as provided in the Plan or an Award Agreement, no Participant shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Common Stock subject to an Award unless and until such Participant has satisfied all requirements for exercise or settlement of the Award pursuant to its terms (including any obligation to execute the Shareholders' Agreement) and no adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distributions of other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such Common Stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 11 hereof. 
  
 10.3 No Employment or Other Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan or any instrument executed or Award granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Award was granted or shall affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (a) the employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without Cause or (b) the service of a Director pursuant to the By-laws of the Company or an Affiliate, and any applicable provisions of the corporate law of the state in which the Company or the Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may be. 
  
 10.4 Transfer; Approved Leave of Absence. For purposes of the Plan, no termination of employment by an Employee shall be deemed to result from either (a) a transfer of employment to the Company from an Affiliate or from the Company to an Affiliate, or from one Affiliate to another, or (b) an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Company, if the Employee's right to reemployment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Committee otherwise so provides in writing, in either case, except to the extent inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code if the applicable Award is subject thereto. 
  
 	 
	14
	

	 

  
 10.5 Withholding Obligations. To the extent provided by the terms of an Award Agreement and subject to the discretion of the Committee, the Participant may satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under an Award by any of the following means (in addition to the Company's right to withhold from any compensation paid to the Participant by the Company) or by a combination of such means: (a) tendering a cash payment; (b) authorizing the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant as a result of the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under the Award, provided, however, that no shares of Common Stock are withheld with a value exceeding the maximum amount of tax required to be withheld by law; or (c) delivering to the Company previously owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock of the Company. 
  
 11. Adjustments Upon Changes in Stock. In the event of changes in the outstanding Common Stock or in the capital structure of the Company by reason of any stock or extraordinary cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, an extraordinary corporate transaction such as any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange, or other relevant change in capitalization occurring after the Grant Date of any Award, Awards granted under the Plan and any Award Agreements, the exercise price of Options and the maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to Awards stated in Section 4 will be equitably adjusted or substituted, as to the number, price or kind of a share of Common Stock or other consideration subject to such Awards to the extent necessary to preserve the economic intent of such Award. In the case of adjustments made pursuant to this Section 11, unless the Committee specifically determines that such adjustment is in the best interests of the Company or its Affiliates, the Committee shall, in the case of Incentive Stock Options, ensure that any adjustments under this Section 11 will not constitute a modification, extension or renewal of the Incentive Stock Options within the meaning of Section 424(h)(3) of the Code and in the case of Non-qualified Stock Options, ensure that any adjustments under this Section 11 will not constitute a modification of such Non-qualified Stock Options within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. 
  
 12. Effect of Change in Control.
  
 12.1 In the event of a Change in Control, the Committee may, but shall not be obligated to:
  
 (a) accelerate, vest or cause the restrictions to lapse with respect to all or any portion of any Award;
  
 (b) cancel Awards and cause to be paid to the holders of vested Awards the value of such Awards, if any, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, it being understood that in the case of any Option with an Option Exercise Price that equals or exceeds the price paid for a share of Common Stock in connection with the Change in Control, the Committee may cancel the Option without the payment of consideration therefor;
  
 (c) provide for the issuance of substitute Awards or the assumption or replacement of such Awards; or
  
 (d) provide written notice to Participants that for a period of at least ten days prior to the Change in Control, such Awards shall be exercisable, to the extent applicable, as to all shares of Common Stock subject thereto and upon the occurrence of the Change in Control, any Awards not so exercised shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.
  
 	 
	15
	

	 

  
 12.2 The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor corporation or organization succeeding to all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Company and its Affiliates, taken as a whole. 
  
 13. Amendment of the Plan and Awards.
  
 13.1 Amendment of the Plan. The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend or terminate the Plan. However, except as provided in Section 11 relating to adjustments upon changes in Common Stock and Section 13.3, no amendment shall be effective unless approved by the shareholders of the Company to the extent shareholder approval is necessary to satisfy any Applicable Laws. At the time of such amendment, the Board shall determine, upon advice from counsel, whether such amendment will be contingent on shareholder approval. 
  
 13.2 Shareholder Approval. The Board may, in its sole discretion, submit any other amendment to the Plan for shareholder approval. 
  
 13.3 Contemplated Amendments. It is expressly contemplated that the Board may amend the Plan in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable to provide eligible Employees, Consultants and Directors with the maximum benefits provided or to be provided under the provisions of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder relating to Incentive Stock Options or to the nonqualified deferred compensation provisions of Section 409A of the Code and/or to bring the Plan and/or Awards granted under it into compliance therewith. 
  
 13.4 No Impairment of Rights. Rights under any Award granted before amendment of the Plan shall not be impaired by any amendment of the Plan unless (a) the Company requests the consent of the Participant and (b) the Participant consents in writing. 
  
 13.5 Amendment of Awards. The Committee at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of any one or more Awards; provided, however, that the Committee may not affect any amendment which would otherwise constitute an impairment of the rights under any Award unless (a) the Company requests the consent of the Participant and (b) the Participant consents in writing.
  
 14. General Provisions.
  
 14.1 Clawback; Forfeiture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide in an Award Agreement or otherwise that the Committee may cancel such Award if the Participant has engaged in or engages in any Detrimental Activity. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, also provide in an Award Agreement or otherwise that (i) if the Participant has engaged in or engages in Detrimental Activity, the Participant will forfeit any gain realized on the vesting, exercise or settlement of any Award, and must repay the gain to the Company and (ii) if the Participant receives any amount in excess of what the Participant should have received under the terms of the Award for any reason (including, without limitation, by reason of a financial restatement, mistake in calculations or other administrative error), then the Participant shall be required to repay any such excess amount to the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, all Awards shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Laws.
  
 	 
	16
	

	 

  
 14.2 Shareholders' Agreement. In connection with the grant, vesting and/or exercise of any Award under the Plan, the Committee may require a Participant to execute and become a party to the Shareholders' Agreement as a condition of such grant, vesting and/or exercise. The Shareholders' Agreement may contain restrictions on the transferability of shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan (such as a right of first refusal or a prohibition on transfer) and such shares may be subject to call rights and drag-along rights of the Company and certain of its investors. The Company shall also have any repurchase rights set forth in the Shareholders' Agreement or any Award Agreement.
  
 14.3 Sub-plans. The Committee may from time to time establish sub-plans under the Plan for purposes of satisfying blue sky, securities, tax or other laws of various jurisdictions in which the Company intends to grant Awards. Any sub-plans shall contain such limitations and other terms and conditions as the Committee determines are necessary or desirable. All sub-plans shall be deemed a part of the Plan, but each sub-plan shall apply only to the Participants in the jurisdiction for which the sub-plan was designed.
  
 14.4 Unfunded Plan. The Plan shall be unfunded. Neither the Company, the Board nor the Committee shall be required to establish any special or separate fund or to segregate any assets to assure the performance of its obligations under the Plan.
  
 14.5 Recapitalizations. Each Award Agreement shall contain provisions required to reflect the provisions of Section 11. 
  
 14.6 Delivery. Upon exercise of a right granted under this Plan, the Company shall issue Common Stock or pay any amounts due within a reasonable period of time thereafter. Subject to any statutory or regulatory obligations the Company may otherwise have, for purposes of this Plan, 30 days shall be considered a reasonable period of time. 
  
 14.7 No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan. The Committee shall determine whether cash, additional Awards or other securities or property shall be issued or paid in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock or whether any fractional shares should be rounded, forfeited or otherwise eliminated.
  
 14.8 Other Provisions. The Award Agreements authorized under the Plan may contain such other provisions not inconsistent with this Plan, including, without limitation, restrictions upon the exercise of the Awards, as the Committee may deem advisable. 
  
 	 
	17
	

	 

  
 14.9 Section 409A. The Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith. Any payments described in the Plan that are due within the "short-term deferral period" as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless Applicable Laws require otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to the Plan during the six (6) month period immediately following the Participant's termination of Continuous Service shall instead be paid on the first payroll date after the six-month anniversary of the Participant's separation from service (or the Participant's death, if earlier). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Committee shall have any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any additional tax or penalty on any Participant under Section 409A of the Code and neither the Company nor the Committee will have any liability to any Participant for such tax or penalty.
  
 14.10 Disqualifying Dispositions. Any Participant who shall make a "disposition" (as defined in Section 424 of the Code) of all or any portion of shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option within two years from the Grant Date of such Incentive Stock Option or within one year after the issuance of the shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of such Incentive Stock Option (a "Disqualifying Disposition") shall be required to immediately advise the Company in writing as to the occurrence of the sale and the price realized upon the sale of such shares of Common Stock. 
  
 14.11 Beneficiary Designation. Each Participant under the Plan may from time to time name any beneficiary or beneficiaries by whom any right under the Plan is to be exercised in case of such Participant's death. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form reasonably prescribed by the Committee and shall be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant's lifetime.
  
 14.12 Expenses. The costs of administering the Plan shall be paid by the Company.
  
 14.13 Severability. If any of the provisions of the Plan or any Award Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, whether in whole or in part, such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability and the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby.
  
 14.14 Plan Headings. The headings in the Plan are for purposes of convenience only and are not intended to define or limit the construction of the provisions hereof.
  
 14.15 Non-Uniform Treatment. The Committee's determinations under the Plan need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among persons who are eligible to receive, or actually receive, Awards.
