 Exercise Schedule (Cumulative): 
 [Vesting terms] 
 This is an Incentive Stock Option Agreement (the “Agreement”)
between M/A-COM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the optionee identified above (the “Optionee”) effective as of the date of grant specified above. 

 RECITALS 

A. The Company maintains the M/A-COM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. 2009 Omnibus Stock Plan (the “Plan”).

 B. Pursuant to the Plan, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) or a committee of two or more
directors of the Company (the “Committee”) appointed by the Board administers the Plan and has the authority to determine the awards to be granted under the Plan (if the Board has not appointed a committee to administer the Plan,
then the Board shall constitute the Committee). 
 C. The Committee has determined that the Optionee is eligible to receive an
award under the Plan in the form of an incentive stock option (the “Option”). 
 The Company hereby grants this
Option to the Optionee under the terms and conditions as follows. 
 TERMS AND
CONDITIONS* 
  

	1.	Grant. The Optionee is granted this Option to purchase the number of Shares specified at the beginning of this Agreement. 

 

	2.	Exercise Price. The price to the Optionee of each Share subject to this Option shall be the exercise price specified at the beginning of this Agreement.

  

	3.	Incentive Stock Option. This Option is intended to be an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); provided that if the Option or part thereof fails to qualify as an incentive stock option, it will be treated as a non-statutory stock option. 

 

	4.	Exercise Schedule. This Option shall vest and become exercisable as to the number of Shares and on the dates specified in the exercise schedule at the
beginning of this Agreement. The exercise schedule shall be cumulative; thus, to the extent this Option has not already been exercised and has not expired, terminated or been cancelled, the Optionee or the person otherwise entitled to exercise this
Option as provided herein may at any time, and from time to time, purchase all or any portion of the Shares then purchasable under the exercise schedule. 

 This Option may also be exercised in full (notwithstanding the exercise schedule) under the circumstances described in Section 8 of this Agreement if it has not expired prior thereto. 

 

	5.	Expiration. This Option shall expire at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the earliest of: 

 

	 	(a)	The expiration date specified at the beginning of this Agreement (which date shall not be later than ten years after the date of grant or, if the Optionee owns or is
deemed to own stock possessing more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, five years after the date of grant); 

  

	 	(b)	The expiration of the period after the termination of employment of the Optionee within which the Option can be exercised (as specified in Section 7 of this
Agreement); 

  

	 	(c)	Termination of the Optionee’s employment for Cause. “Cause” shall be deemed to exist upon (i) an act or acts of dishonesty undertaken by
Optionee and intended to result in substantial gain or personal enrichment of Optionee at the expense of the Company; (ii) unlawful conduct or gross misconduct that is willful and deliberate on Optionee’s part and that, in either event, is
materially injurious to the Company; (iii) the conviction of Optionee of a felony; or (iv) material breach by Optionee of any terms and conditions of any employment or non-competition/non-solicitation agreement between the Optionee and the
Company not caused by the Company, which breach has not been cured by Optionee within ten days after written notice thereof to Optionee from the Company; or 

 

	*	Unless the context indicates otherwise, terms that are not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan as it currently exists or as it is
amended in the future. 

  
 -2-

	 	(d)	The date (if any) fixed for cancellation pursuant to Section 17 of the Plan or pursuant to Section 18 of the Plan. 

In no event may anyone exercise this Option, in whole or in part, after it has expired, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement. In addition, if the Option is exercised, and prior to the delivery of the certificate representing the Shares so purchased, it is determined that Cause for termination existed, then the Company may rescind the Option exercise by the
Optionee and the Option shall terminate at the election of the Company. 
  

	6.	Procedure to Exercise Option. 

 Notice of Exercise. This Option may be exercised by delivering written notice of exercise to the Company at the principal executive office of the Company, to the attention of the Company’s
Secretary, in the form attached to this Agreement. The notice shall state the number of Shares to be purchased, and shall be signed by the person exercising this Option. If the person exercising this Option is not the Optionee, he/she also
must submit appropriate proof of his/her right to exercise this Option. 
 Tender of Payment. Upon giving notice of any
exercise hereunder, the Optionee shall provide for payment of the purchase price of the Shares being purchased through one or a combination of the following methods: 
  

	 	(a)	Cash (including check, bank draft or money order); 

  

	 	(b)	To the extent permitted by law, through a broker-assisted cashless exercise in which the Optionee simultaneously exercises the Option and sells all or a portion of the
Shares thereby acquired pursuant to a brokerage or similar relationship and uses the proceeds from such sale to pay the purchase price of such Shares; 

  

	 	(c)	If approved by the Committee, by delivery to the Company of unencumbered Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the purchase
price of such Shares; or 

  

	 	(d)	If approved by the Committee, by authorizing the Company to retain, from the total number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised, that number of Shares having a
Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the purchase price for the total number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised. 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionee shall not be permitted to pay any portion of the purchase price through a broker-assisted cashless exercise with Shares, or by authorizing the Company to retain
Shares upon exercise of the Option, if the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines that payment in such manner is undesirable. 
 Delivery of Certificates. As soon as practicable after the Company receives the notice and purchase price provided for above, it shall deliver to the person exercising this Option, in the name of
such person, a certificate or certificates representing the Shares being purchased. The Company shall pay any original issue or transfer taxes with respect to the issue or transfer of the Shares and all fees and expenses incurred by it in connection
therewith. All Shares so issued shall be fully paid and nonassessable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no certificate for Shares distributable under the Plan shall be issued and delivered unless the issuance of such
certificate complies with all applicable legal requirements including, without limitation, compliance with the provisions of applicable state securities laws, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the
Exchange Act. 

  
 -3-

	7.	Employment Requirement. This Option may be exercised only while the Optionee remains employed with the Company or an Affiliate thereof, and only if the
Optionee has been continuously so employed since the date of this Agreement; provided that: 

  

	 	(a)	This Option may be exercised for 90 days following the day the Optionee’s employment by the Company or an Affiliate ceases if such cessation of employment is for a
reason other than death or disability, but only to the extent that it was exercisable immediately prior to termination of employment; provided, that if termination of the Optionee’s employment shall have been for Cause, the Option shall expire,
and all rights to purchase Shares hereunder shall terminate, immediately upon such termination. 

  

	 	(b)	This Option may be exercised within six months after the Optionee’s employment by the Company or an Affiliate ceases if such cessation of employment is because of
death or disability of the Optionee, but only to the extent it was exercisable immediately prior to cessation of employment. 

  

	 	(c)	If the Optionee’s employment terminates after a declaration made pursuant to Section 17 of the Plan in connection with a Fundamental Change, the Option may be
exercised at any time permitted by such declaration. 

 Notwithstanding the above, the Option may not be exercised
after it has expired. 
  

	8.	Acceleration of Vesting. 

 Fundamental Change. In the event of a Fundamental Change the Committee may, but shall not be obligated to: 
  

	 	(a)	if the Fundamental Change is a merger or consolidation or statutory share exchange, make appropriate provision for the protection of this Option by the substitution for
this Option of options or voting common stock of the corporation surviving any merger or consolidation or, if appropriate, the parent corporation of the Company or such surviving corporation; or 

 

	 	(b)	at least ten days before the occurrence of the Fundamental Change, declare, and provide written notice to the Optionee of the declaration, that this Option, whether or
not then exercisable, shall be canceled at the time of, or immediately before the occurrence of, the Fundamental Change (unless it shall have been exercised prior to the occurrence of the Fundamental Change). In connection with any such declaration,
the Committee may, but shall not be obligated to, cause payment to be made to the Optionee of cash equal to, for each Share covered by the canceled Option, the amount, if any, by which the Fair Market Value per Share exceeds the exercise price per
Share covered by this Option. At the time of any such declaration, this Option shall immediately become exercisable in full and the Optionee shall have the right, during the period preceding the time of cancellation of this Option, to exercise this
Option as to all or any part of the Shares covered by this Option. In the event of a declaration pursuant to this subsection, to the extent this Option has not been exercised prior to the Fundamental Change, the unexercised part of this Option shall
be canceled at the time of, or immediately before, the Fundamental Change, as provided in the declaration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holder of this Option shall not be entitled to the payment provided for in this subsection if this Option
shall have expired pursuant to Section 5 above or been cancelled. For purposes of this subsection only, “Fair Market Value” per Share has the meaning set forth in Section 17 of the Plan. 

Change in Control. If a Change in Control of the Company shall occur, then, at the sole discretion of the Committee, the Option, if
not already exercised in full or otherwise terminated, expired or cancelled, may become immediately exercisable in full and remain exercisable during 

  
 -4-

 
the remaining term of the Option or such other period as the Committee may determine. As described in Section 18 of the Plan, the Company may also provide for the assumption or substitution
of the Option or that the Option shall terminate upon the Change in Control. 
 Discretionary Acceleration.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, declare at any time that the Option shall be immediately exercisable. 

Possible Tax Effect of Acceleration. If acceleration of this Option results in the vesting of Shares with a Fair Market Value in
excess of $100,000 in any given year, then this Option shall not be deemed an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code to the extent the Fair Market Value of vested Shares exceeds $100,000 in such year.

 For the avoidance of doubt, no consent of the Optionee shall be required for any change (including a change detrimental to the
Optionee) to the terms of the Option made by the Committee pursuant to this Section 8. 
  

	9.	Limitation on Transfer. During the lifetime of the Optionee, only the Optionee or his/her guardian or legal representative may exercise the Option. The
Option may not be assigned or transferred by the Optionee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 

  

	10.	No Stockholder Rights Before Exercise. No person shall have any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Share subject to the
Option until the Share actually is issued to him/her upon exercise of the Option. 

  

	11.	Lock-Up Period. 

  

	 	(a)	The Optionee agrees that the Optionee will not offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option, sell any contract to purchase, purchase any option, purchase any
contract to sell, grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Shares (or any other Company securities) or enter into any swap, hedging, or other arrangement that transfers
to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Shares (or any other Company securities) held by the Optionee (other than those included in the registration) for a period specified by the representative of the
underwriters of the Company’s capital stock (or any other Company securities, collectively, the “Stock”) not to exceed 90 days (180 days in the case of an initial public offering), plus any additional periods required by the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, after the effective date of any Company registration statement filed under the Securities Act. 

  

	 	(b)	The Optionee agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriter to the extent that such agreements are
consistent with the foregoing or that are necessary to give further effect to the provisions set forth in Section 11(a). In addition, if requested by the Company or the representative of the underwriters of Stock, the Optionee will provide,
within 10 days of such request, such information as may be required by the Company or such representative in connection with the completion of any public offering of the Company’s securities pursuant to a registration statement filed under the
Securities Act. 

  

	 	(c)	The obligations described in this Section 11 will not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-8 or similar forms that may be
promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of
Stock subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of such period, as applicable. 

  
 -5-

	12.	Discretionary Adjustment. Except for such mandatory adjustments provided for in Section 16 of the Plan, in the event of any reorganization, merger,
consolidation, recapitalization, liquidation, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, rights offering, or extraordinary dividend or divestiture (including a spin-off), or any other change in the corporate structure or
Shares of the Company, the Committee (or if the Company does not survive any such transaction, a comparable committee of the Board of Directors of the surviving corporation) may, without the consent of the Optionee, make such adjustment as it
determines in its discretion to be appropriate as to the number and kind of securities subject to and reserved under the Plan and the number and kind of securities issuable upon exercise of the Option and the exercise price hereof.

  

	13.	Transfer of Shares — Tax Effects. The Optionee hereby acknowledges that if any Shares received pursuant to the exercise of any portion of the Option
are sold within two years from the date of grant or within one year from the effective date of exercise of the Option, or if certain other requirements of the Code are not satisfied, such Shares will be deemed under the Code not to have been
acquired by the Optionee pursuant to an “incentive stock option” as defined in the Code; and that the Company shall not be liable to the Optionee in the event the Option for any reason is deemed not to be an “incentive stock
option” within the meaning of the Code. 

  

	14.	Tax Consequences. 

(a) The Optionee may incur tax liability as a result of the Optionee’s purchase or disposition of the Shares. THE OPTIONEE SHOULD
CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING THE OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the Company’s good
faith determination of the Fair Market Value of the Company’s common stock for purposes of determining the exercise price per Share of the Option, the taxing authorities may assert that the fair market value of the Company’s common stock
on the date of grant was greater than the exercise price per Share. The Option may fail to qualify as an incentive stock option if the exercise price per Share of the Option is less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on
the date of grant. In addition, under Section 409A of the Code, if the exercise price per Share of the Option is less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, the Option may be treated as a form
of deferred compensation and the Optionee may be subject to an additional 20% federal tax (as well as an additional 20% state tax if the Optionee is a resident of California), plus interest and possible penalties. The Optionee is encouraged to
consult a tax adviser regarding the potential impact of Section 409A of the Code. 
  

	15.	Amendment to Meet the Requirements of Section 409A. The Optionee acknowledges that the Company, in the exercise of its sole discretion and without
the consent of the Optionee, may amend or modify this Agreement in any manner and delay the payment of any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement to the minimum extent necessary to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code as
amplified by any Internal Revenue Service or U.S. Treasury Department regulations or guidance as the Company deems appropriate or advisable. 

  

	16.	Interpretation of This Agreement. All decisions and interpretations made by the Committee with regard to any question arising hereunder or under the Plan
shall be binding and conclusive upon the Company and the Optionee. If there is any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. 

 

	17.	Discontinuance of Employment. This Agreement shall not give the Optionee a right to continued employment with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company,
and the Company or any such Affiliate employing the Optionee may terminate his/her employment at any time and otherwise deal with the Optionee without regard to the effect it may have upon him/her under this Agreement. 

  
 -6-

	18.	Option Subject to Plan, Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws. The Optionee acknowledges that the Option and the exercise thereof is subject to the
Plan, the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from time to time, and the By-Laws, as amended from time to time, of the Company, and any applicable federal or state laws, rules or regulations. 

 

	19.	Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding in all respects on the heirs, representatives, successors and assigns of the Optionee. This Agreement may
be executed in one or more counterparts, which together shall constitute a binding agreement. Photocopies or other facsimiles of a party’s original signature hereto shall be deemed binding originals when delivered to the other party hereto,
regardless of the medium of delivery. 

  

	20.	Choice of Law. This Agreement is entered into under the laws of the State of Delaware and shall be construed and interpreted thereunder (without regard to
its conflict of law principles). 

  

	21.	Execution of Stockholder Agreements. At the discretion of the Committee, the Company is hereby granted the right to require the Optionee from time to time
to execute and deliver stockholder, voting or similar agreements. 

  

	22.	Right of First Refusal. If the Optionee (or a subsequent transferee) proposes to transfer any Shares acquired upon exercise of or in connection with the
Option (in each case a “Selling Stockholder”), then the Selling Stockholder shall promptly give written notice to the Company at least 30 days prior to the closing of such transfer. The notice shall describe in reasonable detail the
proposed transfer including, without limitation, the number of Shares to be transferred, the nature of the transfer, the consideration to be paid, and the name and address of each prospective purchaser or transferee. For purposes of this
Section 22, Transfer means the sale, assignment, encumbrance, hypothecation, pledge, conveyance in trust, gift, transfer by request, devise or descent, or other transfer or disposition of any kind, including, but not limited to, transfers to
receivers, levying creditors, trustees or receivers in bankruptcy proceedings or general assignees for the benefit of creditors, whether voluntary or by operation of law, directly or indirectly, of any of the Shares. 

For a period of 15 days following receipt of any notice described in the preceding paragraph, the Company (or its assignee) shall have the
right to purchase all or a portion of the Shares subject to such notice on the same terms and conditions as set forth therein. The Company’s purchase right shall be exercised by written notice signed by an officer of the Company (or its
assignee) and delivered to the Selling Stockholder within such 15-day period, the failure of the Company (or its assignee) to respond within such period shall be conclusive evidence that it elects not to purchase the Shares. The Company or its
assignee shall effect the purchase of the Shares, including payment of the purchase price, not more than 30 business days after delivery of the notice from the Selling Stockholder, and at such time the Selling Stockholder shall deliver to the
Company the certificate(s) representing the Shares to be purchased by the Company, each certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer. 
 To the extent that the Shares proposed to be transferred are not purchased by the Company and/or its assignee(s) as provided in this Section 22, then the Selling Stockholder may transfer such Shares
to the proposed transferee(s) pursuant to the terms specified in the notice within 45 days after the date of the notice and provided further that any such sale or other Transfer is effected in accordance with any applicable securities laws and each
proposed transferee agrees in writing that the provisions of this Agreement, including this Section 22, shall continue to apply to the Shares after such Transfer. If the Shares described in the notice are not Transferred to the proposed
transferee within such 45-day period, a new notice shall be given to the Company, and the Company and/or its assignees shall again be offered the right of first refusal as provided herein before any Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option may be
sold or otherwise Transferred. 

  
 -7-

 This provision shall terminate upon the closing of the Company’s first underwritten
public offering of its common stock. 
  

	23.	Subchapter S. During any time when the Company has a Subchapter S election in place, the Company may prohibit the exercise of this Option to the extent
such exercise would cause the termination of the Company’s Subchapter S election. 

  

	24.	California Securities Law Matters. The sale of the securities that are the subject of this agreement has not been qualified with the Commissioner of
Corporations of the State of California and the issuance of the securities or the payment or receipt of any part of the consideration before the qualification is unlawful, unless the sale of securities is exempt from qualification by
Section 25100, 25102, or 25105 of the California Corporations Code. The rights of all parties to this agreement are expressly conditioned on qualification being obtained, unless the sale is exempt.

 This is a Restricted Stock Agreement (“Agreement”) between M/A-COM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the recipient identified above (the “Recipient”) effective as of the date of grant specified above. 
 Recitals 
 WHEREAS, the Company maintains the 2009 Omnibus Stock
Plan (the “Plan”); 
 WHEREAS, any capitalized terms used in this Agreement, if not defined herein, shall have the
meanings set forth in the Plan; 
 WHEREAS, under the Plan, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) or a
committee of two or more directors of the Company (the “Committee”) designated by the Board has the authority to determine equity awards to be granted to employees or other service providers of the Company (if the Board has not appointed a
committee to determine such equity awards, then the Board shall constitute the Committee); and 
 WHEREAS, the Committee has
determined that the Recipient is to receive an award under the Plan in the form of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”); 

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company hereby grants this award to the Recipient under the terms and conditions as follows. 

 Terms and Conditions 
 1. Grant of Restricted Stock. 
 (a) Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, the Company has issued to the Recipient the number of shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) specified at the beginning of this Agreement. These Shares are subject to the restrictions provided for in this
Agreement and are referred to collectively as the “Restricted Shares” and each as a “Restricted Share.” 

(b) The Restricted Shares will be evidenced by a duly issued stock certificate registered in the name of the Recipient. All restrictions
provided for in this Agreement will apply to each Restricted Share and to any other securities distributed with respect to that Restricted Share. Each Restricted Share will remain restricted and subject to forfeiture to the Company unless and until
that Restricted Share has vested in the Recipient in accordance with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
 (c)
The Recipient agrees that the Company need not deliver to Recipient a stock certificate in respect of any unvested restricted Shares. The Recipient shall have no right to Transfer (as defined in Section 16 below) any unvested Restricted Shares,
except as approved by the Committee (pursuant to Section 18 of the Plan or otherwise). 
 2. Vesting. The Restricted Shares
that have not previously been forfeited will vest in the numbers and on the dates specified in the Vesting Schedule at the beginning of this Agreement, subject to Recipient’s continued employment with Company or any of its Affiliates through
each such date, and further subject to the following provisions: 
 Discretionary Acceleration. The Committee has
the power, in its sole discretion, to declare at any time that the Restricted Shares subject to this award shall vest in whole or in part. 
 3.
Lapse of Restrictions; Issuance of Unrestricted Shares. Upon the vesting of any Restricted Shares, such vested Restricted Shares will no longer be subject to forfeiture as provided in Section 4 of this Agreement, and the Company
will issue to the Recipient a certificate evidencing the vested Restricted Shares. 
 4. Forfeiture. If the Recipient’s
employment with or provision of consulting or other services to the Company is terminated for any reason, whether by the Company, by the Recipient or otherwise, voluntarily or involuntarily, other than in the circumstances explicitly excepted from
this provision by Section 2 of this Agreement, then any Restricted Shares that have not previously vested shall be forfeited by the Recipient to the Company without requirement of any payment of consideration by the Company, the Recipient shall
thereafter have no right, title or interest whatever in such Restricted Shares, and, if the Company does not have custody of any and all certificates representing Restricted Shares so forfeited, the Recipient shall immediately return to the Company
any and all certificates representing Restricted Shares so forfeited. Additionally, the Recipient will deliver to the Company a stock power duly executed in blank relating to any and all certificates representing Restricted Shares forfeited to the
Company in accordance with the previous sentence 

  
 2 

 
or, if such stock power has previously been tendered to the Company, the Company will be authorized to deem such previously tendered stock power delivered, and the Company will be authorized to
cancel any and all certificates representing Restricted Shares so forfeited and to cause a new stock certificate to be issued to the Recipient evidencing any Shares that vested prior to forfeiture. 

5. Stockholder Rights. As of the date of grant specified at the beginning of this Agreement, the Recipient shall have all of the
rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Shares (including voting rights and the right to receive dividends and other distributions), except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement. 

6. Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders. 

(a) The certificate representing the Restricted Shares shall bear the following legend noting the existence of the restrictions and the
Company’s rights to reacquire the Restricted Shares set forth in this Agreement: 
 “THE SHARES
REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF A RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.” 

(b) The certificate representing the Restricted Shares shall bear the following legend regarding Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), compliance: 
 “THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT
SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.” 
 (c) The Recipient agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions
referred to herein, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own
records. 
 (d) The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any vested or unvested Restricted Shares that
have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Stockholder’s Agreement, or (ii) to treat as owner of the Restricted Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any
purchaser or other transferee to whom the Restricted Shares shall have been so transferred. 
 7. Tax Consequences and
Withholdings. The Recipient understands that unless a proper and timely Section 83(b) election has been made as further described below, generally under 

  
 3 

 
Section 83 of the Code, at the time the Restricted Shares vest, the Recipient will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the Restricted Shares then vesting. The
Recipient shall be solely responsible for tax obligations that arise as a result of the vesting or sale of the Restricted Shares. When the Recipient recognizes income upon vesting of the Restricted Shares, or upon filing a Section 83(b)
election as described below, the Company shall have the right to require the payment (through withholding from the Recipient’s salary or otherwise) of any federal, state, local or foreign taxes based on the fair market value of the Restricted
Shares then vesting (or, in the case of an election under Section 83(b), as of the date of issuance). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing: (i) the Company shall have the right to require Recipient to pay the Company a
cash amount sufficient to cover any required withholding taxes before actual receipt of the Shares, and (ii) in lieu of all or any part of such a cash payment, the Committee may permit Recipient to provide all or any part of the required
withholdings through a reduction of the number of vested Restricted Shares otherwise deliverable to Recipient by the Company hereunder, or through delivery and forfeit to the Company of other Shares held by the Recipient, in each case valued in the
same manner as used in computing the withholding taxes under the applicable laws. 
 8. Section 83(b) Election. The Recipient
has been informed that, with respect to the grant of Restricted Shares, an election may be filed by the Recipient with the Internal Revenue Service, within 30 days of the date of issuance, electing pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code to be
taxed upon making such election on the fair market value of the Restricted Shares on the date of issuance. The Recipient acknowledges that it is the Recipient’s sole responsibility to timely file the election under Section 83(b) of the
Code if the Recipient chooses to make such an election. The Recipient has been advised that he or she should consult his or her personal tax or financial advisor with any questions regarding whether to make a Section 83(b) election. If the
Recipient makes such election, the Recipient shall promptly provide the Company a copy of the election form. 
 9. Lock-Up.

 (a) The Recipient agrees that the Recipient will not offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option, sell any contract
to purchase, purchase any option, purchase any contract to sell, grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Shares (or any other Company securities) or enter into any swap,
hedging, or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Shares (or any other Company securities) held by the Recipient (other than those included in the registration) for a
period specified by the representative of the underwriters of the Company’s capital stock (or any other Company securities, collectively, the “Stock”) not to exceed 90 days (180 days in the case of an initial public offering), plus
any additional periods required by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, after the effective date of any Company registration statement filed under the Securities Act. 
 (b) The Recipient agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriter to the extent that such agreements are consistent with the foregoing
or that are necessary to give further effect to 

  
 4 

 
the provisions set forth in Section 9(a). In addition, if requested by the Company or the representative of the underwriters of Stock, the Recipient will provide, within 10 days of such
request, such information as may be required by the Company or such representative in connection with the completion of any public offering of the Company’s securities pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act.

 (c) The obligations described in this Section 9 will not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit
plans on Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future. The Company may impose stop-transfer
instructions with respect to the shares of Stock subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of such period, as applicable. 
 10.
Discontinuance of Employment. This Agreement shall not give the Recipient a right to continued employment or engagement with the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company, and the Company or any such parent or subsidiary
employing the Recipient may terminate his/her employment or engagement at any time and otherwise deal with the Recipient without regard to the effect it may have upon him/her under this Agreement. 

11. Adjustments for Changes in Capitalization. This Restricted Shares granted pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to adjustments
for changes in the Company’s capitalization as provided in Section 16 of the Plan. 
 12. Interpretation of This
Agreement. All decisions and interpretations made by the Committee with regard to any question arising hereunder shall be binding and conclusive upon the Company and the Recipient. If there is any inconsistency between the provisions of this
Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. 
 13. Award Subject to Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.
The Recipient acknowledges that the Restricted Shares are subject to the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from time to time, and the Bylaws, as amended from time to time, of the Company, and any applicable federal or state laws, rules or
regulations. 
 14. Binding Effect and Amendment. This Agreement shall be binding in all respects on the heirs, representatives,
successors and assigns of the Recipient. This Agreement contains all terms and conditions with respect to the subject matter hereof and no amendment, modification or other change hereto shall be of any force or effect unless and until set forth in a
writing executed by Recipient and the Company. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, which together shall constitute a binding agreement. Photocopies or other facsimiles of a party’s original signature hereto shall be
deemed binding originals when delivered to the other party hereto, regardless of the medium of delivery. 
 15. Choice of Law.
This Agreement is entered into under the laws of the State of Delaware and shall be construed and interpreted thereunder (without regard to its conflict of law principles). 

  
 5 

 16. Right of First Refusal. If the Recipient (or a subsequent transferee) proposes to transfer
any vested Restricted Shares (in each case a “Selling Stockholder”), then the Selling Stockholder shall promptly give written notice to the Company at least 30 days prior to the closing of such transfer. The notice shall describe in
reasonable detail the proposed transfer including, without limitation, the number of Shares to be transferred, the nature of the transfer, the consideration to be paid, and the name and address of each prospective purchaser or transferee. For
purposes of this Section 16, Transfer means the sale, assignment, encumbrance, hypothecation, pledge, conveyance in trust, gift, transfer by request, devise or descent, or other transfer or disposition of any kind, including, but not limited
to, transfers to receivers, levying creditors, trustees or receivers in bankruptcy proceedings or general assignees for the benefit of creditors, whether voluntary or by operation of law, directly or indirectly, of any of the Shares. 

For a period of 15 days following receipt of any notice described in the preceding paragraph, the Company (or its assignee) shall have
the right to purchase all or a portion of the Shares subject to such notice on the same terms and conditions as set forth therein. The Company’s purchase right shall be exercised by written notice signed by an officer of the Company (or its
assignee) and delivered to the Selling Stockholder within such 15-day period, the failure of the Company (or its assignee) to respond within such period shall be conclusive evidence that it elects not to purchase the Shares. The Company or its
assignee shall effect the purchase of the Shares, including payment of the purchase price, not more than 30 business days after delivery of the notice from the Selling Stockholder, and at such time the Selling Stockholder shall deliver to the
Company the certificate(s) representing the Shares to be purchased by the Company, each certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer. 
 To the extent that the Shares proposed to be transferred are not purchased by the Company and/or its assignee(s) as provided in this Section 16, then the Selling Stockholder may transfer such Shares
to the proposed transferee(s) pursuant to the terms specified in the notice within 45 days after the date of the notice and provided further that any such sale or other Transfer is effected in accordance with any applicable securities laws and each
proposed transferee agrees in writing that the provisions of this Agreement, including this Section 16, shall continue to apply to the Shares after such Transfer. If the Shares described in the notice are not Transferred to the proposed
transferee within such 45-day period, a new notice shall be given to the Company, and the Company and/or its assignees shall again be offered the right of first refusal as provided herein before any vested Restricted Shares may be sold or otherwise
Transferred. 
 This provision shall terminate upon the closing of the Company’s first underwritten public offering of its
common stock. 
 17. California Securities Law Matters. The sale of the securities that are the subject of this agreement has not
been qualified with the Commissioner of Corporations of the State of California and the issuance of the securities or the payment or receipt of any part of the consideration before the qualification is unlawful, unless the sale of securities is
exempt from qualification by Section 25100, 25102, or 25105 of the California Corporations Code. The rights of all parties to this agreement are expressly conditioned on qualification being obtained, unless the sale is exempt. 

18. By Executing this Agreement you are Executing a Joinder to the Company’s Investor Rights Agreement. It is a condition precedent to
the issuance of the Restricted Shares to Recipient 

  
 6 

 
that Recipient agree to be bound by, and sign a written joinder to, the Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement dated December 21, 2010 by and among the Company and certain holders of
capital stock of the Company (as amended from time to time, the “Investor Rights Agreement”), which contains, among other things, certain restrictions on the transfer of the Shares. By executing this Agreement below, Recipient hereby joins
and becomes a party to the Investor Rights Agreement as an Other Investor (as such term is defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as an Other Investor. Recipient hereby agrees to be
bound by all of the terms and provisions applicable to an Other Investor under the Investor Rights Agreement. Recipient acknowledges that he or she has received a copy of the Investor Rights Agreement. Each reference to an Other Investor in the
Investor Rights Agreement shall be deemed to include Recipient. Recipient hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Company may condition any future proposed transfer of the Shares by Recipient on, among other things, the proposed transferee executing
a written joinder and agreement to be bound to the Investor Rights Agreement and to any other restrictive provisions contained in this Agreement.
