ADOPTION
1.1    Adoption. The Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Qualcomm Incorporated (the “Company”) adopted and approved this 2019 Director Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) by resolutions adopted on September 20, 2018. The Plan was adopted to establish the compensation to be paid to the Company’s nonemployee directors (“Directors”), based on the Compensation Committee’s annual review of nonemployee director compensation, including an analysis prepared by independent compensation analyst Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc., of reported nonemployee director compensation practices at the same peer companies used in the Compensation Committee’s evaluation of compensation for the Company’s named executive officers. This Plan is effective on January 1, 2019.
1.2    Issuance of Deferred Stock Units. The Plan constitutes a sub-plan under Section 3.5(j) of the 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2016 LTIP”), with respect to the grant of Deferred Stock Units as set forth herein. By approval of this Plan, the Compensation Committee has authorized and approved the grant, issuance and settlement of the Deferred Stock Units pursuant to the 2016 LTIP as provided herein and subject to the terms and conditions of the forms of award agreements for such Deferred Stock Units which have been authorized and approved by the Compensation Committee as provided in the 2016 LTIP.
ARTICLE 2
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
2.1    Annual Retainer. Directors who are U.S. residents receive an Annual Retainer of $100,000 per calendar year. In consideration of the increased travel time, Directors who are non-U.S. residents receive an Annual Retainer of $120,000 per calendar year. The Annual Retainer is earned and paid quarterly in arrears, in equal one-fourth installments as soon as practicable after the end of each calendar quarter.
2.2    Board Committee Chair Retainers. The chairs of the following Board Committees receive annual Board Committee Chair Retainers as follows:
(a)Audit Committee Chair Retainer: $25,000 per calendar year;
(b)Compensation Chair Retainer: $25,000 per calendar year; and

2.3    Presiding Director Retainer and Nonexecutive Chair Retainer. 
(a)    Presiding Director Retainer: The Presiding Director will receive an annual Presiding Director Retainer of $35,000, which is earned and paid quarterly in arrears, in equal one-fourth installments as soon as practicable after the end of each calendar quarter.
(b)    Nonexecutive Chair Retainer: $175,000 per calendar year, which is earned and paid quarterly in arrears, in equal one-fourth installments as soon as practicable after the end of each calendar quarter, with proration as specified in Section 2.6 for service that commences or ceases other than on the first day of any calendar quarter.
The Board may appoint special committees from time-to-time and the Board Committee Chair Retainer, if any, for the chairs of such committees are determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion. Board Committee Chair Retainers are earned and paid quarterly in arrears, in equal one-fourth installments as soon as practicable after the end of each calendar quarter.
2.4    Meeting Fees. Each Director will receive $1,500 for each standing committee meeting attended in person or by telephone. No fees are paid for attending Board meetings. The Board may appoint special committees from time-to-time and the Meeting Fees, if any, for such special committees are determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion. Meeting Fees will be paid on a quarterly basis as soon as practicable after the end of each calendar quarter.

2.5    Annual Deferred Stock Units. On the date of the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company, each Director will receive an automatic grant of a number of Annual Deferred Stock Units (“Annual DSUs”) determined by dividing (1) $200,000, by (2) the fair value of each such unit on such date, as determined by Aon (or another third-party designated by the Company) in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, with the result rounded up to the next whole unit. Annual DSUs are fully vested on the grant date and paid on the third anniversary of the grant date (subject to an election made pursuant to Section 3.1(b) of this Plan), or earlier upon death, Disability or a Change in Control, as set forth in the Annual DSU agreements approved by the Compensation Committee.
2.6    Proration of Retainers and Annual Deferred Stock Units. An individual who becomes or ceases to be a Director other than on the first day of any calendar quarter will receive prorated Retainers for that quarter based on the number of days in such calendar quarter in which he or she served as a Director. An individual commencing service as a Director between annual meetings of the stockholders, will receive an automatic grant on the date services commence of a number of Annual DSUs equal to the product (rounded up to the nearest whole number) of (1) the number of Annual DSUs granted to each Director pursuant to Section 2.5 at the most recent annual meeting of stockholders of the Company, multiplied by (2) a fraction, (a) the numerator of which shall be the number of complete or partial calendar months from and including the month he or she commences service as a Director through the end of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which the next annual meeting is scheduled to be held (or, if the next annual meeting has not been scheduled as of the grant date, it will be assumed to be scheduled for the next-following March for this purpose), and (b) the denominator of which shall be 12.

ARTICLE 3
ELECTIONS TO DEFER PAYMENT OF COMPENSATION
3.1    Allowable Deferrals. 
(a)Elective Deferred Stock Units.

A Director who has made such an election shall, on the last day of the calendar quarter for which the Retainer would be paid but for such election, automatically receive a grant pursuant to this Plan of a number of Elective DSUs equal to (i) the amount of the Retainer to which such election applies, divided by (ii) the Fair Market Value (as defined in the 2016 LTIP) of a share of the Company’s Common Stock on the last date of that quarter (or the next trading date following the close of the quarter with respect to any quarter that does not end on a trading date), with the result rounded up to the next whole unit.
(b)Deferral of Payment Date for Annual Deferred Stock Units. A Director may elect to defer the payment of the Annual DSUs to a date that is later than three years from the grant date.
(c)Deferrals into the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan. Directors may elect to defer all or a portion (in whole percentages) of their Retainers and/or Meeting Fees into the Company’s Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (“NQDCP”), which gives Directors several investment options and allows them to select the timing and form of distributions.
3.2    Timing and Manner of Elections. 
(a)Annual Elections. Generally, any election referenced in Section 3.1 must be made by a Director in writing on the form provided by the Company before the beginning of the calendar year in which the Retainer or Meeting Fees are earned or the Annual DSU is granted.
(b)First Year Elections for New Directors. Directors who join the Board between annual meetings may make an election referenced in Section 3.1 (a) or (c) no later than thirty (30) days following the date he or she joins the Board, although that election will apply only to Retainers or Meeting Fees earned after the end of the calendar quarter in which such election is made.
(c)Effect of Elections. Elections are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and are irrevocable and continue from year to year unless changed or terminated effective as of the beginning of a subsequent calendar year.

QUALCOMM INCORPORATED 
2016 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN 
CEO PERFORMANCE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
Qualcomm Incorporated (the “Company”) has granted you an Option to purchase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock (“Option Shares”) indicated in the Grant Notice at the Exercise Price Per Share indicated in the Grant Notice to you, the Participant named in the Grant Notice pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Grant Notice, this CEO Performance Stock Option Agreement and the attachments hereto (together with the Grant Notice, the “Agreement”) and the 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”). Capitalized terms not explicitly defined in the Grant Notice or this Agreement but are defined in the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan.
The terms and conditions of this Option are as follows:
1.VESTING AND EXERCISABILITY.
1.1    SERVICE VESTING; EXERCISABILITY SUBJECT TO PERFORMANCE. This Option will vest on each of the Vesting Dates specified in the Grant Notice with respect to the number of Option Shares corresponding to that Vesting Date if and to the extent that you continue in Service through that Vesting Date.  If your Service terminates before any Vesting Date for any reason other than as specified in the remainder of this Section, then this Award shall be forfeited with respect to the Option Shares for which the Vesting Date has not occurred on or before the date of such termination.  Notwithstanding the vested status of any Option Shares, but subject to the remaining provisions of this Section, this Option will only become exercisable with respect to vested Option Shares if and when the Performance Target is attained.  If your Service terminates before the end of the Performance Period for any reason other than as specified in the remainder of this Section, and the Performance Target has not been attained, then this Award shall be forfeited in its entirety on the date of your termination of Service.
1.2    DEATH. If your Service terminates because of your death, then this Option will be fully vested and exercisable as to all Option Shares subject to the Option effective upon your death (irrespective of whether the Performance Target is attained).
1.3     DISABILITY.  If your Service terminates because of your Disability, then this Option will be fully vested and exercisable as to all Option Shares subject to the Option effective as of the date on which your Service terminates due to your Disability (irrespective of whether the Performance Target is attained).
1.4     QUALIFIED TERMINATION.   If your Service terminates as a result of a Qualified Termination (as defined below), and the Performance Target is attained before or after your Qualified Termination, then, subject to your execution and non-revocation before the 60th day following your Qualified Termination of a Separation Agreement (as defined in the Severance Plan) and continued compliance with the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in the Severance Plan) and the Separation Agreement, effective as of the later of the date of your 

Qualified Termination or the date the Performance Target is attained, this Option will become vested and exercisable as to the number of Option Shares equal to the product of (1) the total number of Option Shares subject to the Option, multiplied by (2) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of whole and partial months (rounded up to the next whole month) from October 1, 2018, until the Qualified Termination and the denominator of which is 36, less the number of Option Shares that had already become vested and exercisable.
1.5    CIC QUALIFIED TERMINATION. If your Service terminates as a result of a CIC Qualified Termination (as defined below), then this Option will be fully vested and exercisable as to all Option Shares subject to the Option effective as of the date of your CIC Qualified Termination (irrespective of whether the Performance Target is attained).
1.6    DEFINITIONS.  For purposes of this Agreement, the following capitalized terms are defined as follows:
“Cause” has the meaning given such term in the Severance Plan before a Change in Control and the CIC Severance Plan on or after a Change in Control.
“CIC Qualified Termination” means a Qualified Termination as defined in the CIC Severance Plan.    
“CIC Severance Plan” means the Qualcomm Incorporated Executive Officer Change in Control Severance Plan, as may be amended from time to time.                
“Disability” has the meaning given such term in the Severance Plan and CIC Severance Plan.
     “Normal Retirement Age” shall be the later of (1) the date which is six (6) months after the Grant Date or (2) the date on which you have attained age fifty-five (55) and completed at least ten (10) years of consecutive Service.
“Qualified Termination” means a Qualified Termination as defined in the Severance Plan.
“Severance Plan” means the Qualcomm Incorporated Executive Officer Severance Plan, as may be amended from time to time.
2.    EXERCISE OF THIS OPTION.
2.1    METHOD OF EXERCISE. To the extent then exercisable, this Option may be exercised by delivering a notice of exercise in such form as may be designated by the Company from time to time together with the exercise price to the Secretary of the Company, or to such other person as the Company may designate, during regular business hours, together with such additional documents as the Company may then require pursuant to the terms of the Plan.
2.2    METHOD OF PAYMENT. Payment of the exercise price may be (i) by cash, by check or in cash equivalent, (ii) pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board which, prior to the issuance of Stock, results in either 

the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company or the receipt of irrevocable instructions to a broker which provides for the payment of the aggregate exercise price to the Company, (iii) by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock owned by you having a Fair Market Value not less than the exercise price, (iv) by net exercise whereby the Company will, at the time of exercise, reduce the number of Option Shares otherwise issuable to you upon the exercise of the Option by the largest whole number of shares having a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price for the Option Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised and you shall pay to the Company in cash at the time of exercise the remaining balance of such aggregate exercise price not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole Option Shares to be issued, or (v) a combination of the above methods, as the Company may designate from time to time.  The Company may suspend, or eliminate, various forms of permissible payment from time to time in its sole discretion.
2.3    TAX WITHHOLDING. Regardless of any action the Company or the Participating Company that employs you (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. You further acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Option, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of this Option, the issuance of Option Shares upon exercise of this Option, the subsequent sale of Option Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of this Option to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if you have become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant (as specified in the Grant Notice) and the date of any relevant taxable event, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to the relevant tax withholding event, you agree to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following methods, as selected by the Company in its discretion: (a) withholding from your wages or any other cash compensation payable to you by the Company and/or the Employer; (b) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Option Shares acquired upon exercise of this Option, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf and pursuant to your authorization by your acceptance of this Option); (c) withholding in Option Shares to be issued upon exercise of this Option; or (d) any other method allowed by the Plan and applicable law.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Option Shares as described in subsection (c) herein, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of Option Shares subject to the vested Option, notwithstanding that a number of the Option Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of your participation in the Plan.  The Fair Market Value of 

any share of Stock withheld pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be equal to the closing price of a share of Stock as quoted on any national or regional securities exchange or market system constituting the primary market for the Stock on the day on which tax withholding is required (or, if there is no closing price on that day, the last trading day prior to that day) or, if the Stock is not listed on a national or regional securities exchange or market system, the value of a share of Stock as determined by the Committee in good faith without regard to any restriction other than a restriction which, by its terms, will never lapse.  
Finally, you shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver the Option Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Option Shares if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items. 
2.4    RESPONSIBILITY FOR EXERCISE. You are responsible for taking any and all actions as may be required to exercise this Option in a timely manner and for properly executing any such documents as may be required for exercise in accordance with such rules and procedures as may be established from time to time. By signing this Agreement you acknowledge that information regarding the procedures and requirements for this exercise of this Option is available to you on request. The Company and/or any Participating Company shall have no duty or obligation to notify you of the expiration date of this Option.
2.5    OPTION EXERCISABILITY. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and subject to Section 5, after your termination of Service to the extent this Option is vested and exercisable pursuant to Section 1, it shall be exercisable only during the applicable time period determined in accordance with this Section 2.5, but in no event later than the Expiration Date.
(a)    Attainment of Normal Retirement Age. If your Service terminates for any reason on or after you attain Normal Retirement Age (as defined herein), other than due to termination by the Company for Cause, then to the extent this Option has become vested and exercisable pursuant to Section 1, it may be exercised by you until the Expiration Date provided you (i) execute a general release of claims in a form satisfactory to the Company and that general release becomes irrevocable before the 60th day following your termination of employment, and (ii) comply with the requirements contained in the Exclusive Consulting Agreement attached hereto as Attachment 1 (the “Consulting Agreement”). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event your Service is terminated for Cause or you violate any of the provisions of the Consulting Agreement, any and all rights to exercise this Option shall be immediately terminated without consideration.
(b)    Death. If your Service terminates due to your death, then the Option may be exercised by your legal representative or other person who acquired the right to exercise this Option by reason of your death at any time prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months after the date of your death.

(c)    Disability. If your Service terminates due to your Disability, then the Option may be exercised by you at any time prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months after the date on which your Service terminates.
(d)    Qualified Termination. If your Service terminates due to a Qualified Termination, then the Option may be exercised by you (or your guardian or legal representative) at any time prior to the expiration of six (6) months after the later of the date of your Qualified Termination or the date the Performance Target is attained.
(e)    CIC Qualified Termination. If your Service terminates due to a CIC Qualified Termination, then the Option may be exercised by you (or your guardian or legal representative) at any time prior to the expiration of six (6) months after the date of your CIC Qualified Termination.
(f)    Other Termination of Service. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.5(a) through (e), if your Service terminates for any reason other than for Cause, then this Option may be exercised by you at any time prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days after the date on which your Service terminates. Any portion of the Option that has not vested and become exercisable as of the date on which your Service terminates will be forfeited as of your termination date.
(g)     Extension if Subject to Section 16(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than termination for Cause, if a sale within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 2.5(a) – (f) of shares acquired upon the exercise of this Option would subject you to suit under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the vested and exercisable Option shall remain exercisable until the earliest to occur of (i) the tenth (10th) day following the date on which a sale of such shares by you would no longer be subject to such suit, (ii) the one hundred and ninetieth (190th) day after your termination of Service, or (iii) Expiration Date indicated in the Grant Notice.
3.    TAX ADVICE. You represent, warrant and acknowledge that the Company and, if different, your Employer, has made no warranties or representations to you with respect to the income tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Option, and you are in no manner relying on the Company, your Employer or their representatives for an assessment of such tax consequences.  YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.  YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE TAX TREATMENT OF THIS OR ANY OTHER AWARD.  NOTHING STATED HEREIN IS INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE USED, AND CANNOT BE USED, FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING TAXPAYER PENALTIES.
4.    SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Option Shares will be issued to you upon exercise of this Option unless the Stock is then registered under the U.S. Securities Act or, if such Stock is not then so registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act.  Further, Options may not be exercised and Option Shares may not be issued if such acts would constitute a violation of any applicable foreign securities laws or other applicable regulations.  By accepting this Option, you agree not 

to sell any of the Option Shares received upon exercise of this Option at a time when applicable laws or Company policies prohibit a sale.
5.    TERMINATION OF THIS OPTION. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Option shall expire automatically and shall no longer be exercisable upon the earliest of:
(a)    the last day of the Performance Period if the Performance Target has not been satisfied on or before such date;
(b)    the Expiration Date indicated in the Grant Notice; or
(c)    a Change in Control, to the extent provided in Section 6.
The vested and exercisable portion of this Option may be exercised only until the close of the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the applicable date indicated in this Section 5 above or, if such date is not a trading day on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the last trading day before such date. Any later attempt to exercise this Option will not be honored. 
6.    CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event of a Change in Control, the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing corporation or other business entity or parent thereof, as the case may be (the “Acquiring Corporation”), may, without your consent, either assume the Company’s rights and obligations under this Option or substitute for this Option a substantially equivalent option for the Acquiring Corporation’s stock. In the event the Acquiring Corporation elects not to assume or substitute for this Option in connection with a Change in Control, the exercisability and vesting of this Option, so long as your Service has not terminated prior to such date, shall be accelerated regardless of whether Performance Target is attained, effective as of the date ten (10) days prior to the date of the Change in Control. The exercise or vesting of any Option that was permissible solely by reason of this Section 6 shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Change in Control. If this Option is neither assumed or substituted for by the Acquiring Corporation in connection with the Change in Control nor exercised as of the date of the Change in Control, it shall terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the date of the Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares acquired upon exercise of this Option prior to the Change in Control and any consideration received pursuant to the Change in Control with respect to such shares shall continue to be subject to all applicable provisions of this Agreement except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the corporation the stock of which is subject to this Option immediately prior to an Ownership Change Event constituting a Change in Control is the surviving or continuing corporation and immediately after such Ownership Change Event less than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of its voting stock is held by another corporation or by other corporations that are members of an affiliated group within the meaning of Section 1504(a) of the Code without regard to the provisions of Section 1504(b) of the Code, this Option shall not terminate unless the Committee otherwise provides in its discretion. 
7.    TRANSFERABILITY. This Option is subject to the transferability restrictions contained in the Plan. 

8.    OPTION NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT. This Option is not an employment or service contract and nothing in this Agreement, the Grant Notice or the Plan shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the service of the Company or (if different) the Employer, or of the Company or the Employer to continue your service with the Company or the Employer, as applicable. In addition, nothing in this Option shall obligate the Company or any Participating Company, the Company’s stockholders, Board, Officers or Employees to continue any relationship which you might have as a Director or Consultant for the Company or any Participating Company, as applicable.
9.    REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS, AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. You hereby agree that in the event the Company and the Company’s counsel deem it necessary or advisable in the exercise of their discretion, the issuance of the Option Shares upon exercise of this Option may be conditioned upon you making certain representations, warranties, and acknowledgments relating to compliance with applicable securities laws.
10.    CODE SECTION 409A. It is the intent that this Option as set forth in this Agreement shall qualify for exemption from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so qualify or comply. The Company reserves the right, to the extent the Company deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify this Agreement as may be necessary to ensure that all payments provided for under this Agreement are made in a manner that qualifies for exemption from or complies with Section 409A of the Code; provided, however, that the Company makes no representation that the issuance of Option Shares upon exercise of this Option provided for under this Agreement will be exempt from Section 409A of the Code and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A of the Code from applying to the issuance of Option Shares upon exercise of this Option provided for under this Agreement. The Company will have no liability to you or any other party if this Option, the delivery of Option Shares upon exercise of this Option or other payment hereunder that is intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A, is not so exempt or for any action taken by the Company with respect thereto.
11.    NOTICES. Any notices provided for in this Agreement, the Grant Notice or the Plan shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last address you provided to the Company.
12.    NATURE OF GRANT. In accepting this Option, you acknowledge and agree that:
(a)    the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, (subject to any limitations set forth in the Plan);
(b)    the award of this Option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Options, or benefits in lieu of Options, even if Options or other Awards have been awarded repeatedly in the past;

(c)    all decisions with respect to future Awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d)    your participation in the Plan is voluntary;
(e)    this Option and the Option Shares subject to this Option are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; 
(f)    this Option and any Option Shares acquired under the Plan and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;
(g)    the future value of the underlying Option Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;
