 1.2 Request for Registration. 

(a) If the Company shall receive six (6) months after the effective date of a Listing Event, a written request from the Holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding (the “Initiating Holders”) that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration of Registrable Securities with an anticipated
aggregate offering price of at least $15,000,000, then the Company shall, within twenty (20) days after receiving such request, give written notice of such request to all Holders and shall, subject to the limitations of subsection 1.2(b), use
all commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be registered under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be registered within twenty (20) days after the mailing of such notice by the
Company. 

  
 3 

 (b) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their
request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in subsection 1.2(a). The underwriter will be selected by the Company,
which underwriter shall be reasonably acceptable to the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in the underwriting. In such event, the right of any Holder to include his Registrable Securities in such registration shall
be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and
such Holder) to the extent provided herein. The Company and all Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for
such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.2, if the underwriter advises the Company in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Company shall so
advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated among all participating Holders
thereof, including the Initiating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the amount of Registrable Securities of the Company owned by each participating Holder. In no event shall any Registrable Securities be excluded from such
underwriting unless all other securities are first excluded from such offering. Any Registrable Securities excluded from or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from registration. 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to the Initiating Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer
of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to be filed, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a
period of not more than 120 days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right or the similar right set forth in Section 1.4(b)(ii) more than once in any twelve (12)-month
period, and provided, further, that the Company shall not register any securities for the account of itself or any other stockholder during such 120-day period (other than in an Excluded Registration). 

(d) In addition, the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to this
Section 1.2: 
 (i) After the Company has effected three (3) registrations pursuant to this Section 1.2 provided, however,
that such registrations have been declared or ordered effective and that either (A) the conditions of Section 1.5(a) have been satisfied or (B) the registration statements remain effective and there are no stop orders in effect to
such registration statements; 
 (ii) During the period starting with the date ninety (90) days prior to the Company’s good faith
estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date 180 days after 

  
 4 

 
the effective date of, a registration subject to Section 1.3 hereof unless such offering is not the initial public offering of the Company’s securities, in which case, ending on a date
ninety (90) days after the effective date of such registration subject to Section 1.3 hereof; provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become
effective; or 
 (iii) If the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered
on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 1.4 below. 
 1.3 Company Registration. 

(a) If (but without any obligation to do so) the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the
Company for stockholders other than the Holders) any of its stock under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than an Excluded Registration), the Company shall, at such time, promptly
give each Holder written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of each Holder given within twenty (20) days after mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 3.5, the Company shall, subject to the
provisions of Section 1.8, use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be registered under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be registered if any stock of the Company is
registered. 
 (b) The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 1.3
prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The expenses of such registration shall be borne by the Company, in accordance with Section 1.7 hereof. 

1.4 Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive a written request or requests from any Holder or Holders proposing
to sell Registrable Securities at an aggregate purchase price to the public of not less than $5,000,000 that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable
Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company will: 
 (a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any
related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders; and 
 (b) use all commercially reasonable efforts to effect, as soon as
practicable, such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holder’s or Holders’ Registrable Securities as are
specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written
notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance, pursuant to this Section 1.4: (i) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the
Holders; (ii) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith 

  
 5 

 
judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to be filed, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing
for a period of not more than 120 days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 1.4; provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right or the similar right set forth in Section 1.2(c) more
than once in any twelve (12)-month period; (iii) if the Company has, within the twelve (12)-month period preceding the date of such request, already effected two (2) registrations on Form S-3 for the Holders pursuant to this
Section 1.4; (iv) in any jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is
already qualified to do business or subject to service of process in that jurisdiction; or (v) during the period ending 180 days after the effective date of a registration statement subject to Section 1.3. 

(c) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities so
requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Holders. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall not be counted as demands for registration or registrations effected pursuant
to Sections 1.2 or 1.3, respectively. 
 1.5 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 1 to effect
the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible: 
 (a) Prepare and file with the
SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for up to 120 days, or until the distribution described in such registration statement is completed, if earlier. 

(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with
such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement for up to 120 days, or until the distribution described in
such registration statement is completed, if earlier. 
 (c) Promptly notify the Holders of the effectiveness of such registration
statement, and furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including any supplement to the prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to
facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them. 
 (d) Following the effective date of such registration statement,
notify the Holders of any request by the SEC that the Company amend or supplement such registration statement, or the associated prospectus. 

(e) Use all commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other
securities or Blue Sky laws of such 

  
 6 

 
jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to
file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions unless the Company is already qualified to do business or subject to service of process in that jurisdiction. 

(f) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and
customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Holder and other security holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement. 

(g) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, such obligation to continue for 120 days or until the distribution described in such registration
statement is completed, if earlier. 
 (h) Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Section 1 to be listed on
each national securities exchange or trading system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed. 
 (i) Provide a
transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration. 

(j) Make generally available to its security holders, and to deliver to each Holder participating in the registration statement, an earnings
statement of the Company that will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act covering a period of twelve (12) months beginning after the effective date of such registration statement as soon as reasonably practicable
after the termination of such twelve (12)-month period. 
 (k) Take all other steps reasonably necessary to effect the registration,
offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement contemplated hereby. 
 1.6 Information From
Holders. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 1 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company
such information regarding such Holder, the Registrable Securities held by such Holder, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities. The
Company shall have no obligation with respect to any registration requested pursuant to Section 1.2 or Section 1.4 of this Agreement if, as a result of the application of the preceding sentence, the anticipated aggregate offering price of
the Registrable Securities to be included in the registration does not equal or exceed the anticipated aggregate offering price required to originally trigger the Company’s obligation to initiate such registration as specified in subsection
1.2(a) or subsection 1.4, whichever is applicable. 

  
 7 

 1.7 Expenses of Registration. All expenses other than underwriting discounts and
commissions incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 including (without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders selected by them with the approval of the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, shall be borne by the
Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 1.2 or 1.4 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of
the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included in the withdrawn
registration), unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one (1) demand registration pursuant to Section 1.2 or one right to a Form S-3 registration under Section 1.4, as the case
may be; provided further that if, at the time of such withdrawal, the Initiating Holders shall have learned of a material adverse change in the condition or business of the Company (which change the Board reasonably agrees is such a
material adverse change in the Company’s condition or business) from that known to the Initiating Holders at the time of their request and have withdrawn the request with reasonable promptness after learning of such information then the
Initiating Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and shall not forfeit their right to one (1) registration pursuant to Section 1.2 or Section 1.4. 

1.8 Underwriting Requirements. 

(a) In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not be required
under Section 1.3 to include any of the Holders’ securities in such underwriting unless the Holders accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by the Company (or by other persons
entitled to select the underwriters), and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable
Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold (other than by the Company) that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the
Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so
included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling stockholders according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each selling stockholder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such
selling stockholders) but in no event shall the amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the offering be reduced below 25% of the total amount of securities included in such offering, unless such offering is the initial public
offering of the Company’s securities, in which case, the selling stockholders may be excluded if the underwriters make the determination described above and no other stockholder’s securities are included. For purposes of the preceding
parenthetical concerning apportionment, for any selling stockholder which is a holder of Registrable Securities and which is a venture capital fund, or a partnership or corporation, the Affiliated Funds, partners, retired partners and stockholders
of such holder, or the 

  
 8 

 
estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single “selling stockholder,”
and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such “selling stockholder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “selling stockholder,”
as defined in this sentence. 
 (b) A registration shall not be counted as “effected” if, as a result of an exercise of the
underwriter’s cutback provisions in Section 1.8(a), less than fifty percent (50%) of the total number of Registrable Securities that the Initiating Holders have requested to be included in such registration statement are actually
included. 
 1.9 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or
otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 1. 

1.10 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this
Section 1: 
 (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, any underwriter (as defined
in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which
they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements,
omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus
contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any
violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law; and the Company will pay to
each such Holder, underwriter or controlling person, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the
indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 1.10(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable to any Holder, underwriter or controlling person for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such Holder, underwriter or controlling person. 

(b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its
officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement

  
 9 

 
and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become
subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and
only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will pay, as incurred, any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this subsection 1.10(b) in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity
agreement contained in this subsection 1.10(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld; provided, that in no event shall any indemnity under this subsection 1.10(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder, except in the case of willful fraud by such Holder. 

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 1.10 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1.10, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the
parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one (1) separate counsel, with the reasonable fees and
expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any
other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall
relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 1.10, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified
party otherwise than under this Section 1.10. 
 (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.10 is held by a court
of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the
indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that in no event shall any contribution
by a Holder under this Subsection 1.10(d) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder, except in the case of willful fraud by such Holder. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be

  
 10 

 
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting
agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control. 

(f) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 1.10 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable
Securities in a registration statement under this Section 1, and otherwise. 
 1.11 Reports Under the Exchange Act. With
a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without
registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to: 
 (a) make and keep public information available, as those
terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the Listing Event so long as the Company remains subject to the periodic reporting requirements under Sections 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act; 
 (b) take such action, including the voluntary registration of its Common Stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act,
as is necessary to enable the Holders to utilize Form S-3 for the sale of their Registrable Securities, such action to be taken as soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal year in which the first registration statement filed by the Company
for the offering of its securities to the general public is declared effective; 
 (c) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and
other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and 
 (d) furnish to any Holder upon request, so
long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first
registration statement filed by the Company), the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3
(at any time after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in
availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form. 

1.12 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this
Section 1 may be assigned (but only with all related 

  
 11 

 
obligations) by a Holder to a transferee or assignee (i) that is a subsidiary, parent, partner, limited partner, retired partner, member, retired member or stockholder of a Holder,
(ii) that is an Affiliated Fund, (iii) who is a Holder’s child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law (such
a relation, a Holder’s “Immediate Family Member”, which term shall include adoptive relationships), or (iv) that is a trust for the benefit of an individual Holder or such Holder’s Immediate Family Member, provided the
Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned; and provided,
further, that such assignment shall be effective only if the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement and immediately following such transfer the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted
under the Securities Act. For the purposes of determining the number of shares of Registrable Securities held by a transferee or assignee, the holdings of transferees and assignees of (x) a partnership who are partners or retired partners of
such partnership or (y) a limited liability company who are members or retired members of such limited liability company (including Immediate Family Members of such partners or members who acquire Registrable Securities by gift, will or
intestate succession) shall be aggregated together and with the partnership or limited liability company; provided that all assignees and transferees who would not qualify individually for assignment of registration rights shall have a single
attorney-in-fact for the purpose of exercising any rights, receiving notices or taking any action under Section 1. 
 1.13

 (a) Lock-Up Period; Agreement. In connection with a public offering of the Company’s
securities and upon request of the Company or the underwriters managing such offering of the Company’s securities, each Holder agrees not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any
securities of the Company, however or whenever acquired (other than those included in the registration), without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time (not to exceed 180 days but
subject to such extension or extensions as may be required by the underwriters in order to publish research reports while complying with the Rule 2711 of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.) from the effective date of such
registration statement as may be requested by the Company or such managing underwriters and to execute an agreement reflecting the foregoing as may be requested by the underwriters at the time of the Company’s initial public offering. 

(b) Limitations. The obligations described in Section 1.13(a) shall apply only if all officers and directors of the Company

 (d) Transferees Bound. Each Holder agrees that prior to a public offering it will
not transfer securities of the Company unless each transferee agrees in writing to be bound by all of the provisions of this Section 1.13. 

(e) Legend. In the event that a lock-up agreement is required under Section 1.13(a), each Holder agrees that a legend
reading substantially as follows shall be placed on all certificates representing all Registrable Securities of each Holder (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the restriction contained in this Section 1.13):

written notice to the Company directing the Company to effect a Listing Event and (ii) any single Investor holding at least ten percent (10%) in interest of the Registrable Securities then held by all Investors may deliver a written notice
to the Company directing the Company to engage the services of an investment banker acceptable to the Board for the purpose of assessing (a) the feasibility of a accomplishing a Listing Event or (b) the availability of alternative
opportunities to maximize shareholder value in the Company and a liquidity of their investment. Upon receipt of any of the foregoing notices, the Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do,
or cause to be done, all things necessary or desirable to effect the foregoing. 
 1.15 Termination of Registration Rights. No
Holder shall be entitled to exercise any right provided for in this Section 1 after the earlier of (i) with respect to any Holder, at such time after the Listing Event as Rule 144 or another similar exemption under the Securities Act is
available for the sale of all of such Holder’s shares during a three (3)-month period without registration, or (ii) upon termination of the Agreement, as provided in Section 3.1.

(a) Administration of Plan. The Plan shall be administered by the Administrator. 

(b) Powers of Administrator. Subject to Applicable Laws, the Administrator shall have the power and authority to grant Awards
consistent with the terms of the Plan, including the power and authority: 
 (i) to select the individuals to whom Awards may from time to
time be granted; 
 (ii) to determine the time or times of grant, and the extent, if any, of Stock Options, Incentive Stock Options,
Non-Qualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units, Unrestricted Stock Awards, Cash-Based Awards, Performance Share Awards and Dividend Equivalent Rights, or any combination of the foregoing,
granted to any one or more grantees; 
 (iii) to determine the number of Shares to be covered by any Award; 

(iv) to determine and modify from time to time the terms and conditions, including restrictions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan,
of any Award, which terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees, and to approve the forms of Award Certificates; 

(v) to accelerate at any time the exercisability or vesting of all or any portion of any Award; 

(vi) subject to the provisions of Section 5(c) and other than with respect to Stock Options granted to Insiders, to extend at any time
the period in which Stock Options may be exercised after the applicable expiration date; and 
 (vii) at any time to adopt, alter and repeal
such rules, guidelines and practices for administration of the Plan and for its own acts and proceedings as it shall deem advisable; to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any Award (including related written instruments); to make all
determinations it deems advisable for the administration of the Plan; to decide all disputes arising in connection with the Plan; and to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan. 

  
 5 

 All decisions and interpretations of the Administrator shall be binding on all persons, including
the Company and Plan grantees. 
 (c) Delegation of Authority to Grant Awards. Subject to applicable law, the Administrator, in its
discretion, may delegate to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company all or part of the Administrator’s authority and duties with respect to the granting of Awards to individuals who are (i) not subject to the reporting and other
provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and (ii) not Covered Employees. Any such delegation by the Administrator shall include a limitation as to the amount of Shares underlying Awards that may be granted during the period of the
delegation and shall contain guidelines as to the determination of the exercise price and the vesting criteria. The Administrator may revoke or amend the terms of a delegation at any time but such action shall not invalidate any prior actions of the
Administrator’s delegate or delegates that were consistent with the terms of the Plan. 
 (d) Indemnification. Neither the Board
nor the Administrator, nor any member of either or any delegate thereof, shall be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in good faith in connection with the Plan, and the members of the Board and the
Administrator (and any delegate thereof) shall be entitled in all cases to indemnification and reimbursement by the Company in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising or
resulting therefrom to the fullest extent permitted by law and/or under the Company’s articles or bylaws or any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage which may be in effect from time to time and/or any indemnification
agreement between such individual and the Company. 
 (e) Foreign Award Recipients. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the
contrary, in order to comply with the laws in other countries in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate or have employees or other individuals eligible for Awards, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority
to: (i) determine which Subsidiaries shall be covered by the Plan; (ii) determine which individuals outside the United States and Canada are eligible to participate in the Plan; (iii) modify the terms and conditions of any Award
granted to individuals outside the United States to comply with applicable foreign laws; (iv) establish subplans and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, to the extent the Administrator determines such actions to be
necessary or advisable (and such subplans and/or modifications shall be attached to this Plan as appendices); provided, however, that no such subplans and/or modifications shall increase the share limitations contained in Section 3(a) hereof;
and (v) take any action, before or after an Award is made, that the Administrator determines to be necessary or advisable to obtain approval or comply with any local governmental regulatory exemptions or approvals. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Administrator may not take any actions hereunder, and no Awards shall be granted, that would violate the Exchange Act, the U.S. Code, or any other Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, applicable securities laws). 

 

	SECTION 3.	SHARES ISSUABLE UNDER THE PLAN; MERGERS; SUBSTITUTION 

 (a) Shares Issuable. The
maximum number of Shares reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be 4,000,000 Shares, subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 3. For purposes of this limitation, the Shares underlying any Awards that are forfeited,

  
 6 

 
canceled, held back upon exercise of an Option or settlement of an Award to cover the exercise price or tax withholding, reacquired by the Company prior to vesting, satisfied without the issuance
of Shares or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) shall be added back to the Shares available for issuance under the Plan. In the event the Company repurchases Shares on the open market, such Shares shall not be added to the Shares
available for issuance under the Plan. Subject to such overall limitations, Shares may be issued up to such maximum number pursuant to any type or types of Award; provided, however, that Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with respect to no
more than 1,000,000 Shares may be granted to any one individual grantee during any one calendar year period, and no more than 1,000,000 Shares may be issued in the form of Incentive Stock Options. The Shares available for issuance under the Plan may
be authorized but unissued Shares or Shares reacquired by the Company. 
 (b) Changes in Shares. Subject to Section 3(c) hereof,
if, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Company’s capital stock, the outstanding Shares are increased or decreased or are
exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company, or Restricted Voting Common Shares, additional shares or new or different shares or other securities of the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with
respect to such Shares or other securities, or, if, as a result of any merger or consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the outstanding Shares are converted into or exchanged for securities of the Company or
any successor entity (or a parent or subsidiary thereof), the Administrator shall make an appropriate or proportionate adjustment in (i) the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, including the maximum number of shares
that may be issued in the form of Incentive Stock Options, (ii) the number of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights that can be granted to any one individual grantee and the maximum number of shares that may be granted under a
Performance-Based Award, (iii) the number and kind of shares or other securities subject to any then outstanding Awards under the Plan, (iv) the repurchase price, if any, per share subject to each outstanding Restricted Stock Award, and
(v) the exercise price for each share subject to any then outstanding Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan, without changing the aggregate exercise price (i.e., the exercise price multiplied by the number of Stock Options
and Stock Appreciation Rights) as to which such Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights remain exercisable. The Administrator shall also make equitable or proportionate adjustments in the number of shares subject to outstanding Awards and the
exercise price and the terms of outstanding Awards to take into consideration cash dividends paid other than in the ordinary course or any other extraordinary corporate event. The adjustment by the Administrator shall be made in good faith and,
subject to manifest error, shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional Shares shall be issued under the Plan resulting from any such adjustment, but the Administrator in its discretion may make a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares.

 (c) Mergers and Other Transactions. In the case of and subject to the consummation of a Sale Event, the parties thereto may cause
the assumption or continuation of Awards theretofore granted by the successor entity, or the substitution of such Awards with new Awards of the successor entity or parent thereof, with appropriate adjustment as to the number and kind of shares and,
if appropriate, the per share exercise prices, as such parties shall agree. To the extent the parties to such Sale Event do not provide for the assumption, continuation or substitution of Awards, upon the effective time of the Sale Event, the Plan
and all outstanding 

  
 7 

 
Awards granted hereunder shall terminate. In the event of such termination, (i) the Company shall have the option (in its sole discretion) to make or provide for a cash payment to the
grantees holding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, in exchange for the cancellation thereof, in an amount equal to the difference between (A) the Sale Price multiplied by the number of Shares subject to outstanding Options and Stock
Appreciation Rights (to the extent then exercisable at prices not in excess of the Sale Price) and (B) the aggregate exercise price of all such outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights; or (ii) each grantee shall be permitted,
within a specified period of time prior to the consummation of the Sale Event as determined by the Administrator, to exercise all outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (to the extent then exercisable) held by such grantee. Except as may
be otherwise provided in the relevant Award Certificate, all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights that are not exercisable immediately prior to the effective time of a Sale Event shall vest and become fully exercisable as of the effective time of
the Sale Event, all other Awards with time-based vesting, conditions or restrictions shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable as of the effective time of the Sale Event, and all Awards with conditions and restrictions relating to the attainment
of performance goals may become vested and nonforfeitable in connection with a Sale Event in the Administrator’s discretion or to the extent specified in the relevant Award Certificate. 

 

	SECTION 4.	ELIGIBILITY 

 Grantees under the Plan will be such full or part-time officers and other
employees, Non-Employee Directors and Consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries as are selected from time to time by the Administrator in its sole discretion. 
  

	SECTION 5.	STOCK OPTIONS 

 (a) Award of Stock Options. The Administrator may grant Stock
Options under the Plan. Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the Administrator may from time to time approve. 

Stock Options granted under the Plan may be either Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options may be
granted only to employees of the Company or any Subsidiary that is a “subsidiary corporation” within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the U.S. Code. To the extent that any Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall
be deemed a Non-Qualified Stock Option. 
 Stock Options granted pursuant to this Section 5 shall be subject to the following terms and
conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator shall deem desirable. If the Administrator so determines, Stock Options may be granted in lieu of cash compensation
at the optionee’s election, subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator may establish. 
 (b) Exercise Price. The
exercise price per Share covered by a Stock Option granted pursuant to this Section 5 shall be determined by the Administrator at the time of grant but shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant. In the
case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the option price of such Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value on the grant date. 

  
 8 

 (c) Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Administrator, but no
Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten years after the date the Stock Option is granted. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the term of such Stock Option shall be no more than five years from
the date of grant. 
 (d) Exercisability; Rights of a Shareholder. Stock Options shall become exercisable at such time or times,
whether or not in installments, as shall be determined by the Administrator at or after the grant date. Subject to Applicable Laws, the Administrator may at any time accelerate the exercisability of all or any portion of any Stock Option. An
optionee shall have the rights of a shareholder only as to shares acquired upon the exercise of a Stock Option and not as to unexercised Stock Options. 

(e) Method of Exercise. Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part, by giving written or electronic notice of exercise to the
Company, specifying the number of shares to be purchased. Payment of the purchase price may be made by one or more of the following methods except to the extent otherwise provided in the Option Award Certificate: 

(i) In cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Administrator; 

(ii) Subject to complying with Applicable Laws, through the delivery (or attestation to the ownership following such procedures as the Company
may prescribe) of Shares that are not then subject to restrictions under any Company plan. Such surrendered shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise date; 

(iii) By the optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to
promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company for the purchase price; provided that in the event the optionee chooses to pay the purchase price as so provided, the optionee and the broker shall comply with
such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Company shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure; or 

(iv) With respect to Stock Options that are not Incentive Stock Options, by a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the
Company will reduce the number of Shares issuable upon exercise by the largest whole number of shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price. 

Payment instruments will be received subject to collection. The transfer to the optionee on the records of the Company or of the transfer agent of the Shares
to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option will be contingent upon receipt from the optionee (or a purchaser acting in his stead in accordance with the provisions of the Stock Option) by the Company of the full purchase price for
such shares and the fulfillment of any other requirements contained in the Option Award Certificate or the provisions of Applicable Laws (including the satisfaction of any withholding taxes that the Company is obligated to withhold with respect to
the optionee). In the event an optionee chooses to pay the purchase price by previously-owned Shares through the attestation method, the number of Shares transferred to the optionee upon the exercise of the Stock Option shall be net of the number of
attested shares. In the event that the Company 

  
 9 

 
establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the exercise of Stock Options, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response,
then the paperless exercise of Stock Options may be permitted through the use of such an automated system. 
 (f) Annual Limit on
Incentive Stock Options. To the extent required for “incentive stock option” treatment under Section 422 of the U.S. Code, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the Shares with respect to which
Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan and any other plan of the Company or its parent and Subsidiary corporations become exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. To the extent that
any Stock Option exceeds this limit, it shall constitute a Non-Qualified Stock Option. 
 (g) Vesting of Stock Options and Incentive
Stock Options. The Administrator at the time of grant shall specify the date or dates upon which Stock Options and Incentive Stock Options will vest and be exercisable. 

(h) Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award Certificate or, subject to
Section 18 below, in writing after the Award is issued, a grantee’s rights in all Stock Options and Incentive Stock Options shall automatically terminate upon the grantee’s termination of employment (or cessation of service
relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason. 
  

	SECTION 6.	STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 

 (a) Award of Stock Appreciation Rights. The
Administrator may grant Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan. A Stock Appreciation Right is an Award entitling the recipient to receive Shares having a value equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over
the exercise price of the Stock Appreciation Right multiplied by the number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised. 

(b) Exercise Price of Stock Appreciation Rights. The exercise price of a Stock Appreciation Right shall not be less than 100 percent of
the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant. 
 (c) Grant and Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation
Rights may be granted by the Administrator independently of any Stock Option granted pursuant to Section 5 of the Plan. 
 (d) Terms
and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined from time to time by the Administrator. The term of a Stock Appreciation Right may not exceed ten years.

 (e) Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award Certificate or, subject to
Section 18 below, in writing after the Award is issued, a grantee’s rights in all Stock Appreciation Rights shall automatically terminate upon the grantee’s termination of employment (or cessation of service relationship) with the
Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason. 

  
 10 

	SECTION 7.	RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS 

 (a) Nature of Restricted Stock Awards. The Administrator
may grant Restricted Stock Awards under the Plan. A Restricted Stock Award is any Award of Restricted Shares subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Administrator may determine at the time of grant. Conditions may be based on continuing
employment (or other service relationship) and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives. The terms and conditions of each such Award Certificate shall be determined by the Administrator, and such terms and conditions may
differ among individual Awards and grantees. 
 (b) Rights as a Shareholder. Upon the grant of the Restricted Stock Award and payment
of any applicable purchase price, a grantee shall have the rights of a shareholders with respect to the voting of the Restricted Shares and receipt of dividends; provided that if the lapse of restrictions with respect to the Restricted Stock Award
is tied to the attainment of performance goals, any dividends paid by the Company during the performance period shall accrue and shall not be paid to the grantee until and to the extent the performance goals are met with respect to the Restricted
Stock Award. Unless the Administrator shall otherwise determine, (i) uncertificated Restricted Shares shall be accompanied by a notation on the records of the Company or the transfer agent to the effect that they are subject to forfeiture until
such Restricted Shares are vested as provided in Section 7(d) below, and (ii) certificated Restricted Shares shall remain in the possession of the Company until such Restricted Shares are vested as provided in Section 7(d) below, and
the grantee shall be required, as a condition of the grant, to deliver to the Company such instruments of transfer as the Administrator may prescribe. 

(c) Restrictions. Restricted Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of except as
specifically provided herein or in the Restricted Stock Award Certificate. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award Certificate or, subject to Section 18 below, in writing after the Award is issued, if a
grantee’s employment (or other service relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason, any Restricted Shares that have not vested at the time of termination shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws,
automatically and without any requirement of notice to such grantee from or other action by or on behalf of, the Company be deemed to have been reacquired by the Company at its original purchase price (if any) from such grantee or such
grantee’s legal representative simultaneously with such termination of employment (or other service relationship), and thereafter shall cease to represent any ownership of the Company by the grantee or rights of the grantee as a shareholder.
Following such deemed reacquisition of Restricted Shares that are represented by physical certificates, a grantee shall surrender such certificates to the Company upon request without consideration. 

(d) Vesting of Restricted Shares. The Administrator at the time of grant shall specify the date or dates and/or the attainment of
pre-established performance goals, objectives and other conditions on which the non-transferability of the Restricted Shares and the Company’s right of repurchase or forfeiture shall lapse. Subsequent to such date or dates and/or the attainment
of such pre-established performance goals, objectives and other conditions, the shares on which all restrictions have lapsed shall no longer be Restricted Shares and shall be deemed “vested.” 

  
 11 

	SECTION 8.	RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS 

 (a) Nature of Restricted Stock Units. The Administrator
may grant Restricted Stock Units under the Plan. A Restricted Stock Unit is an Award of share units that may be settled in Shares upon the satisfaction of such restrictions and conditions at the time of grant. Conditions may be based on continuing
employment (or other service relationship) and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives. The terms and conditions of each such Award Certificate shall be determined by the Administrator, and such terms and conditions may
differ among individual Awards and grantees. Except in the case of Restricted Stock Units with a deferred settlement date that complies with Section 409A, at the end of the vesting period, the Restricted Stock Units, to the extent vested, shall
be settled in the form of Shares. Restricted Stock Units with deferred settlement dates are subject to Section 409A and shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine in its sole discretion in order to
comply with the requirements of Section 409A. 
 (b) Election to Receive Restricted Stock Units in Lieu of Compensation. The
Administrator may, in its sole discretion, permit a grantee to elect to receive a portion of future cash compensation otherwise due to such grantee in the form of an award of Restricted Stock Units. Any such election shall be made in writing and
shall be delivered to the Company no later than the date specified by the Administrator and in accordance with Section 409A and such other rules and procedures established by the Administrator. Any such future cash compensation that the grantee
elects to defer shall be converted to a fixed number of Restricted Stock Units based on the Fair Market Value of Shares on the date the compensation would otherwise have been paid to the grantee if such payment had not been deferred as provided
herein. The Administrator shall have the sole right to determine whether and under what circumstances to permit such elections and to impose such limitations and other terms and conditions thereon as the Administrator deems appropriate. Any
Restricted Stock Units that are elected to be received in lieu of cash compensation shall be fully vested, unless otherwise provided in the Award Certificate. 

(c) Rights as a Shareholder. A grantee shall have the rights as a shareholder only as to Shares acquired by the grantee upon settlement
of Restricted Stock Units; provided, however, that the grantee may be credited with Dividend Equivalent Rights with respect to the share units underlying his Restricted Stock Units, subject to the provisions of Section 11 and such terms and
conditions as the Administrator may determine. 
 (d) Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in
the Award Certificate or, subject to Section 18 below, in writing after the Award is issued, a grantee’s right in all Restricted Stock Units that have not vested shall automatically terminate upon the grantee’s termination of
employment (or cessation of service relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason. 
 (e) Vesting of Restricted
Stock Units. The Administrator at the time of grant shall specify the date or dates upon which Restricted Stock Units will vest and be payable. 

  
 12 

	SECTION 9.	UNRESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS 

 Grant or Sale of Unrestricted Stock. Subject to
approvals required pursuant to the rules and policies of any stock exchange on which the Shares are listed and posted for trading, the Administrator may grant (or sell at par value or such higher purchase price determined by the Administrator) an
Unrestricted Stock Award under the Plan. An Unrestricted Stock Award is an Award pursuant to which the grantee may receive Shares free of any restrictions under the Plan. Unrestricted Stock Awards may be granted in respect of past services or other
valid consideration, or in lieu of cash compensation due to such grantee. 
  

	SECTION 10.	CASH-BASED AWARDS 

 Grant of Cash-Based Awards. The Administrator may grant
Cash-Based Awards under the Plan. A Cash-Based Award is an Award that entitles the grantee to a payment in cash upon the attainment of specified Performance Goals. The Administrator shall determine the maximum duration of the Cash-Based Award, the
amount of cash to which the Cash-Based Award pertains, the conditions upon which the Cash-Based Award shall become vested or payable, and such other provisions as the Administrator shall determine. Each Cash-Based Award shall specify a
cash-denominated payment amount, formula or payment ranges as determined by the Administrator. Payment, if any, with respect to a Cash-Based Award shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Award and may be made in cash. 

 

	SECTION 11.	PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARDS 

 (a) Nature of Performance Share Awards. The
Administrator may grant Performance Share Awards under the Plan. A Performance Share Award is an Award entitling the grantee to receive Shares upon the attainment of performance goals. The Administrator shall determine whether and to whom
Performance Share Awards shall be granted, the performance goals, the periods during which performance is to be measured, which may not be less than one year except in the case of a Sale Event, and such other limitations and conditions as the
Administrator shall determine. 
 (b) Rights as a Shareholder. A grantee receiving a Performance Share Award shall have the rights of
a shareholder only as to Shares actually received by the grantee under the Plan and not with respect to shares subject to the Award but not actually received by the grantee. A grantee shall be entitled to receive Shares under a Performance Share
Award only upon satisfaction of all conditions specified in the Performance Share Award Certificate (or in a performance plan adopted by the Administrator). 

(c) Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award agreement or, subject to Section 18
below, in writing after the Award is issued, a grantee’s rights in all Performance Share Awards shall automatically terminate upon the grantee’s termination of employment (or cessation of service relationship) with the Company and its
Subsidiaries for any reason. 
 (d) Vesting of Performance Share Awards. The Administrator at the time of grant shall specify the
date or dates upon which Performance Share Awards will vest and be exercisable. 

  
 13 

	SECTION 12.	PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS TO COVERED EMPLOYEES 

 (a) Performance-Based Awards. The
Administrator may grant one or more Performance-Based Awards in the form of a Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Share Awards or Cash-Based Award payable upon the attainment of Performance Goals that are established by the
Administrator and relate to one or more of the Performance Criteria, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the Administrator. The Administrator shall define in an objective fashion the manner of
calculating the Performance Criteria it selects to use for any Performance Cycle. Depending on the Performance Criteria used to establish such Performance Goals, the Performance Goals may be expressed in terms of overall Company performance or the
performance of a Subsidiary, division, business unit, or an individual. Each Performance-Based Award shall comply with the provisions set forth below. 

(b) Grant of Performance-Based Awards. With respect to each Performance-Based Award granted to a Covered Employee, the Administrator
shall select, within the first 90 days of a Performance Cycle (or, if shorter, within the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the U.S. Code) the Performance Criteria for such grant, and the Performance Goals with respect to each
Performance Criterion (including a threshold level of performance below which no amount will become payable with respect to such Award). Each Performance-Based Award will specify the amount payable, or the formula for determining the amount payable,
upon achievement of the various applicable performance targets. The Performance Criteria established by the Administrator may be (but need not be) different for each Performance Cycle and different Performance Goals may be applicable to
Performance-Based Awards to different Covered Employees. 
 (c) Payment of Performance-Based Awards. Following the completion of a
Performance Cycle, the Administrator shall meet to review and certify in writing whether, and to what extent, the Performance Goals for the Performance Cycle have been achieved and, if so, to also calculate and certify in writing the amount of the
Performance-Based Awards earned for the Performance Cycle. The Administrator shall then determine the actual size of each Covered Employee’s Performance-Based Award. 

(d) Maximum Award Payable. The maximum Performance-Based Award payable to any one Covered Employee under the Plan for a Performance
Cycle is 1,000,000 Shares (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(c) hereof) or $4,000,000 in the case of a Performance-Based Award that is a Cash-Based Award. 

(e) Vesting of Performance Based Awards. The Administrator at the time of grant shall specify the date or dates upon which Performance
Based Awards will vest and be exercisable. 
 (f) Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the
Award Certificate or, subject to Section 18 below, in writing after the Award is issued, a grantee’s rights in Performance Based Awards shall automatically terminate upon the grantee’s termination of employment (or cessation of
service relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason. 

  
 14 

	SECTION 13.	DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT RIGHTS 

 (a) Dividend Equivalent Rights. The Administrator may
grant Dividend Equivalent Rights under the Plan. A Dividend Equivalent Right is an Award entitling the grantee to receive credits based on cash dividends that would have been paid on the Shares specified in the Dividend Equivalent Right (or other
Award to which it relates) if such Shares had been issued to the grantee. A Dividend Equivalent Right may be granted hereunder to any grantee as a component of an award of Restricted Stock Units, Restricted Stock Award or Performance Share Award.
The terms and conditions of Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be specified in the Award Certificate . Dividend equivalents credited to the holder of a Dividend Equivalent Right may be paid currently or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional
Shares, which may thereafter accrue additional equivalents. Any such reinvestment shall be at Fair Market Value on the date of reinvestment or such other price as may then apply under a dividend reinvestment plan sponsored by the Company, if any.
Dividend Equivalent Rights may be settled in cash or Shares or a combination thereof, in a single installment or installments. A Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a component of an Award of Restricted Stock Units, Restricted Stock Awards or
Performance Share Awards shall provide that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall be settled only upon settlement or payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, such other Award, and that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall expire or be forfeited or
annulled under the same conditions as such other Award. 
 (b) Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator
either in the Award Certificate or, subject to Section 18 below, in writing after the Award is issued, a grantee’s rights in all Dividend Equivalent Rights shall automatically terminate upon the grantee’s termination of employment (or
cessation of service relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason. 
 (c) Vesting of Dividend Equivalent
Rights. The Administrator at the time of grant shall specify the date or dates upon which Dividend Equivalent Rights will vest and be exercisable. 
  

	SECTION 14.	TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS 

 (a) Transferability. Except as provided in
Section 14(b) below, during a grantee’s lifetime, his or her Awards shall be exercisable only by the grantee, or by the grantee’s legal representative or guardian in the event of the grantee’s incapacity. No Awards shall be sold,
assigned, transferred or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by a grantee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order. No Awards shall be subject, in whole or in part, to attachment,
execution, or levy of any kind, and any purported transfer in violation hereof shall be null and void. 
 (b) Administrator Action.
Notwithstanding Section 14(a), the Administrator, in its discretion, may provide either in the Award Certificate regarding a given Award or by subsequent written approval that the grantee (who is an employee or director) may transfer his or her
Non-Qualified Options to his or her immediate family members, to trusts for the benefit of such family members, or to partnerships in which such family members are the only partners, provided that the transferee agrees in writing with the Company to
be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable Award. In no event may an Award be transferred by a grantee for value. 

  
 15 

 (c) Family Member. For purposes of Section 14(b), “family member” shall
mean a grantee’s child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive
relationships, any person sharing the grantee’s household (other than a tenant of the grantee), a trust in which these persons (or the grantee) have more than 50 percent of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which these persons (or the
grantee) control the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons (or the grantee) own more than 50 percent of the voting interests. 

(d) Designation of Beneficiary. To the extent permitted by the Company, each grantee to whom an Award has been made under the Plan may
designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise any Award or receive any payment under any Award payable on or after the grantee’s death. Any such designation shall be on a form provided for that purpose by the Administrator and shall not
be effective until received by the Administrator. If no beneficiary has been designated by a deceased grantee, or if the designated beneficiaries have predeceased the grantee, the beneficiary shall be the grantee’s estate. 

 

	SECTION 15.	TAX WITHHOLDING 

 (a) Payment by Grantee. Each grantee shall, no later than the
date as of which the value of an Award or of any Share or other amounts received thereunder first becomes includable in the gross income of the grantee for applicable income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the
Administrator regarding payment of, any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld by the Company with respect to such income. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to
deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the grantee. The Company’s obligation to deliver evidence of book entry (or share certificates) to any grantee is subject to and conditioned on tax withholding obligations
being satisfied by the grantee. 
 (b) Payment in Shares. Subject to approval by the Administrator, a grantee may elect to have the
Company’s minimum required tax withholding obligation satisfied, in whole or in part, by authorizing the Company to withhold from Shares to be issued pursuant to any Award a number of shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date
the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the withholding amount due. The Administrator may also require Awards to be subject to mandatory share withholding up to the required withholding amount. For purposes of share withholding, the Fair
Market Value of withheld shares shall be determined in the same manner as the value of Shares includible in income of the Participants. 
  

	SECTION 16.	SECTION 409A AWARDS 

 To the extent that any Award is determined to constitute
“nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A (a “409A Award”), the Award shall be subject to such additional rules and requirements as specified by the Administrator from time to

  
 16 

 
time in order to comply with Section 409A. In this regard, if any amount under a 409A Award is payable upon a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A) to
a grantee who is then considered a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A), then no such payment shall be made prior to the date that is the earlier of (i) six months and one day after the grantee’s
separation from service, or (ii) the grantee’s death, but only to the extent such delay is necessary to prevent such payment from being subject to interest, penalties and/or additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A. Further,
the settlement of any such Award may not be accelerated except to the extent permitted by Section 409A. 
  

	SECTION 17.	TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT, TRANSFER, LEAVE OF ABSENCE, ETC. 

 (a) Termination of
Employment. If the grantee’s employer ceases to be a Subsidiary, the grantee shall be deemed to have terminated employment for purposes of the Plan. 

(b) For purposes of the Plan, the following events shall not be deemed a termination of employment: 

(i) a transfer to the employment of the Company from a Subsidiary or from the Company to a Subsidiary, or from one Subsidiary to another; or

 (ii) an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Company or a Subsidiary, if
the employee’s right to re-employment 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 Administrator otherwise so provides in writing. 

 

	SECTION 18.	AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION 

 The Board may, at any time and without shareholder approval,
amend or discontinue the Plan and the Administrator may, at any time, amend or cancel any outstanding Award for the purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, but no such action shall adversely affect rights under any
outstanding Award without the holder’s consent. Subject to Applicable Laws, the Administrator is specifically authorized to exercise its discretion to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or effect
the repricing of such Awards through cancellation and re-grants. To the extent required under the rules of any securities exchange or market system on which the Shares are listed, to the extent determined by the Administrator to be required by the
U.S. Code to ensure that Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan are qualified under Section 422 of the U.S. Code, or to ensure that compensation earned under Awards qualifies as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m)
of the U.S. Code, Plan amendments shall be subject to approval by the Company’s shareholders entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, and subject to the Administrator’s authority to take any action permitted pursuant
to Section 3(b) or Section 3(c), the Board may not make any amendments, modifications and changes to the Plan or to any Award granted under the Plan with respect to the following matters without the approval of the shareholders of the
Company, in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the applicable stock exchange on which the Shares are listed and posted for trading: 
  

	 	(i)	the maximum number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan; 

  
 17 

	 	(ii)	a reduction in the exercise price for Awards held by Insiders of the Company; 

  

	 	(iii)	an extension to the term of any Award held by Insiders of the Company; 

  

	 	(iv)	an increase in any limit on grants of Awards to Insiders set out in the Plan; and 

  

	 	(v)	any amendment to this Section 18 that is not: (i) determined to be necessary or desirable to ensure continuing compliance with applicable laws, regulations, requirements, rules or policies of any governmental
authority or stock exchange on which the Shares are listed and posted for trading; or (ii) of a “housekeeping” nature, which includes amendments to eliminate any ambiguity or correct or supplement any provision contained herein which
may be incorrect or incompatible with any other provision hereof. 

 Nothing in this Section 18 shall limit the
Administrator’s authority to take any action permitted pursuant to Section 3(b) or Section 3(c). 
  

	SECTION 19.	STATUS OF PLAN 

 With respect to the portion of any Award that has not been exercised and
any payments in cash, Shares or other consideration not received by a grantee, a grantee shall have no rights greater than those of a general creditor of the Company unless the Administrator shall otherwise expressly determine in connection with any
Award or Awards. In its sole discretion, the Administrator may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the Company’s obligations to deliver Shares or make payments with respect to Awards hereunder, provided that the
existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the foregoing sentence. 
  

	SECTION 20.	GENERAL PROVISIONS 

 (a) No Distribution. The Administrator may require each
person acquiring Shares pursuant to an Award to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the shares without a view to distribution thereof. 

(b) Delivery of Shares Certificates. Shares certificates to grantees under this Plan shall be deemed delivered for all purposes when
the Company or a share transfer agent of the Company shall have mailed such certificates in the United States or Canadian mail, as applicable, addressed to the grantee, at the grantee’s last known address on file with the Company.
Uncertificated Stock shall be deemed delivered for all purposes when the Company or a share transfer agent of the Company shall have given to the grantee by electronic mail (with proof of receipt) or by United States or Canadian mail, as applicable,
addressed to the grantee, at the grantee’s last known address on file with the Company, notice of issuance and recorded the issuance in its records (which may include electronic “book entry” records). Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates evidencing Shares pursuant to the exercise of any Award, unless and until the Administrator has determined, with advice of counsel (to the extent the
Administrator deems such advice necessary or advisable), that the issuance and delivery of such certificates is in 

  
 18 

 
compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any exchange on which the Shares are listed, quoted or traded. All share
certificates delivered pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Administrator deems necessary or advisable to comply with federal, state or foreign jurisdiction, securities or other laws, rules
and quotation system on which the Shares are listed, quoted or traded. The Administrator may place legends on any share certificate to reference restrictions applicable to the Shares. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the
Administrator may require that an individual make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Administrator, in its discretion, deems necessary or advisable in order to comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements.
The Administrator shall have the right to require any individual to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of any Award, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of
the Administrator. 
 (c) Shareholder Rights. Until Shares are deemed delivered in accordance with Section 20(b), no right to
vote or receive dividends or any other rights of a shareholder will exist with respect to Shares to be issued in connection with an Award, notwithstanding the exercise of a Stock Option or any other action by the grantee with respect to an Award.

 (d) Other Compensation Arrangements; No Employment Rights. Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting
other or additional compensation arrangements, including trusts, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. The adoption of this Plan and the grant of Awards do not confer upon any employee any
right to continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary. 
 (e) Trading Policy Restrictions. Option exercises and other
Awards under the Plan shall be subject to the Company’s insider trading policies and procedures, as in effect from time to time. 
 (f)
Currency. The currency to be used for all Awards granted under this Plan shall be such currency as may be determined by the Administrator. 

(g) Blackout Period Extensions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, if the expiry date for any Award falls within a
Blackout Period or within 10 business days from the expiration of a Blackout Period (such Award to be referred to as “Blackout Period Awards”), the expiry date of such Blackout Period Awards shall be automatically extended to the
date that is the 10th business day following the end of the Blackout Period, such 10th Business Day to be considered the expiry date for such Blackout Period Award for all purposes under this Plan. 

(h) Insider Participation Limit. The number of the Shares (i) issued to Insiders of the Company within any one-year period, and
(ii) issuable to Insiders of the Company, at any time, under the Plan or when combined with all of the other security based compensation arrangements of the Company, shall not exceed 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares. 

  
 19 

 (i) Award Certificate. Awards under the Plan shall be evidenced by Award Certificates that
set forth the terms, conditions and limitations for each Award which may include, without limitation, the term of an Award and the provisions applicable in the event employment or service terminates. 

 

	SECTION 21.	EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN 

 This Plan shall become effective upon shareholder approval in
accordance with Applicable Laws, the Company’s constating documents, and applicable stock exchange rules. No grants of Stock Options and other Awards may be made hereunder after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date and no grants of

	SECTION 22.	GOVERNING LAW

by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, applied without regard to conflict of law principles.
