Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless otherwise instructed by MLH, MPL shall: 

  
 3 

 (a) act as MLH’s agent (but without any liability as a fiduciary) in communications
with the co-owners of the MLH Pipelines and with government authorities relating to the operation and maintenance of MLH’s ownership interests in the MLH Pipelines, where required by applicable laws, regulations, permit conditions, or
agreements; 
 (b) promptly pay and discharge, for and in the name of MLH, all expenses, costs and liabilities incurred by MLH

Section 6.2; 
 (c) file, store and maintain all ownership documents, operating agreements, drawings, descriptions,

 (g) maintain such records, reports and other documents in connection with performing the services hereunder as are required by applicable federal and state laws and regulations, including any applicable
rules and regulations of the U.S. Department of Transportation. 
 Subject to the terms of this Agreement, MPL shall perform all
services hereunder to be performed with the same degree of diligence and care that it would exercise if managing its own property, and in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of the appropriate governmental authorities.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, MPL has no duty to advance funds on behalf of MLH in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, but MPL shall notify MLH if any insufficiency of funds exists. 

3.2 Disclaimer of Warranties. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:
(a) MLH acknowledges and agrees that MPL makes no warranties of any kind with respect to the Management Services; and (b) MPL expressly disclaims all warranties, expressed or implied, of any kind with respect to the Management Services,
including any warranty of non-infringement, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or conformity to any representation or description as to the Management Services provided hereunder. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE
SERVICES WILL BE PROVIDED AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS, AND 

  
 4 

 
WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, CONFORMITY TO ANY REPRESENTATION OR DESCRIPTION,
TITLE OR ANY OTHER WARRANTY WHATSOEVER. 
 3.3 Force Majeure. If any Party is prevented from or delayed in complying,
either totally or in part, with any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, excluding any obligation to make payments hereunder, by reason of fire, flood, storm, strike, walkout, lockout or other labor trouble or shortage, delays by
unaffiliated suppliers or carriers, shortages of fuel, power, raw materials or components, equipment failure, any law, order, proclamation, regulation, ordinance, demand, seizure or requirement of any governmental authority, riot, civil commotion,
war, rebellion, act of terrorism, nuclear or other accident, explosion, casualty, pandemic, or act of God, or act, omission or delay in acting by any governmental or military authority or Third Party or any other cause, whether or not of a class or
kind listed in this sentence, beyond the reasonable control and without the fault of the otherwise defaulting Party (each, a “Force Majeure Event”), then upon notice to the other Parties, the affected provisions and/or other
requirements of this Agreement shall be suspended during the period of such Force Majeure Event and, unless otherwise set forth herein to the contrary, the Party affected by the Force Majeure Event shall have no liability to the other Parties, its
Affiliates or any other Person in connection therewith. Upon becoming aware of a Force Majeure Event, the Party affected by the Force Majeure Event shall promptly notify the other Parties in writing of the existence of such Force Majeure Event and
the anticipated duration of the Force Majeure Event. Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or overcome the effects of such Force Majeure Event as soon as possible; provided, however, that nothing in this
Section 3.3 will be construed to require the settlement of any strike, walkout, lockout or other labor dispute on terms which, in the reasonable judgment of the affected Party, are contrary to its interest. It is understood that the settlement
of a strike, walkout, lockout or other labor dispute will be entirely within the discretion of the affected Party. If MPL is unable to provide any of the Management Services due to a Force Majeure Event, each Party shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to cooperatively seek a solution that is mutually satisfactory to the Parties. MLH shall have the right, but not the obligation, to engage subcontractors to perform such obligations for the duration of the Force Majeure Event, it being
agreed that any fees paid or payable by MLH under this Agreement with respect to the Management Service affected by such Force Majeure Event shall be reduced (or refunded, if applicable) on a dollar-for-dollar basis for all amounts paid by MLH to
such subcontractors; provided, however, that MPL shall not be responsible for the amount of fees paid by MLH to any such subcontractors to perform such Management Services to the extent such fees exceed the Management Fees for the
applicable period of the Force Majeure Event. 
 3.4 No Partnership. Nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to create a
partnership, joint venture or similar relationship between MLH and MPL, and neither MPL nor any of its Affiliates has any power to bind MLH. MPL shall act as an independent contractor in the performance of its duties hereunder. 

  
 5 

 ARTICLE 4 
 EMPLOYMENT OF PERSONNEL; MANAGEMENT FEE 
 4.1 Personnel. MPL shall
obtain, whether as employees or independent contractors, such personnel as may be required to perform the Management Services. All such personnel, whether full or part-time, shall at all times remain employees or independent contractors of MPL, an
MPL Affiliated Entity or a Third Party and shall not become or be deemed to be employees of MLH or any MLH Affiliated Entity. 

4.2 Management Fee. MPL shall be paid a management fee (the “Management Fee”) of $17,000 per month starting as of
the Effective Date and payable by the first day of each month. The Management Fee for the month of the Effective Date will be pro-rated based on the number of days remaining in such month. MLH shall reimburse MPL for any expenditures made by MPL on
behalf of MLH under Section 5.2 or otherwise with the consent of MLH within 30 days of receipt by MLH of an invoice for such reimbursement. 
 4.3 Adjustment of Management Fee. The Management Fee shall be fixed until December 31, 2013. Thereafter, the Management Fee shall be adjusted annually, on the first day of the month following
each anniversary of the Effective Date, by the same percentage that the annual “Average Hourly Earnings of Production Workers” reported in the North American Industry Classification System, Section 486, as published by the U.S.
Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, changed during the preceding calendar year; provided, however, that in no event shall the Management Fee ever be adjusted to less than the amount of the Management Fee in effect as of
the Effective Date due to a change in such index. Should any significant change in the scope of the work to be conducted by MPL become necessary during the Term of this Agreement, the Party first becoming aware of such necessity shall promptly
notify the other Party, at which time the Parties will enter into good faith negotiations to examine such necessary change in the scope of such work and adjust the Management Fee accordingly. In the event that, after such good faith negotiations,
the Parties are unable to agree on an appropriate adjustment to the Management Fee, either Party may terminate this Agreement without liability to the other Party. 
 4.4 Taxes. To the extent required by applicable law, MPL shall add to any Management Fees due under this Agreement amounts equal to any applicable sales, use or similar taxes, however designated or
levied, based upon the provision of the Management Services. MPL shall be solely responsible for the collection and remittance of any such taxes to the appropriate tax authorities. The Parties shall cooperate with each other to minimize any such
taxes to the extent reasonably practicable. If additional taxes are determined to be due with respect to the Management Services provided hereunder as a result of an audit by any applicable tax authority, MLH agrees to reimburse MPL for the
additional taxes due from MPL, including interest and penalties. MLH shall have the right to contest with the applicable tax authority, at MLH’s sole expense, the amount of any taxes or the result of any audit. MPL will be responsible for any
penalty or interest resulting from its failure to remit any invoiced taxes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 4.4 shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, survive the termination of
this Agreement and remain in effect until the expiration of the relevant statutes of limitations. 

  
 6 

 4.5 Personnel Qualifications. MPL may utilize its own employees, the services of
Third Party contractors or Affiliates of MPC to provide the Management Services. MPL will use commercially reasonable efforts to establish and confirm that any such personnel are qualified to perform the Management Services in accordance with
MPL’s ordinary standards applicable to similar services utilized in the management of its own operations. 
 ARTICLE 5

 BUDGETS AND EXPENDITURES 
 5.1 Operating and Capital Budgets. To the extent that MPL is required to review or approve, on behalf of MLH, any operating or capital expenditure budgets with respect to the MLH Pipelines, MPL
must first obtain MLH’s prior consent before reviewing or approving such budgets. MPL will provide to MLH all expense budgets, capital budgets and forecasted statements of income and cash flow prepared by the co-owners and/or operators of the
MLH Pipelines. 
 5.2 Emergency Expenditures. MPL, on behalf of MLH, shall be responsible for handling emergencies
occurring with respect to the MLH Pipelines. In cases of emergency, MPL may authorize expenditures for required work when such is necessary in MPL’s good faith judgment to respond to the emergency or to mitigate damage or danger to persons,
property or the environment, without the necessity of submitting such proposed expenditures in advance for approval by MLH. In such event, MPL shall, as soon as practicable, by telephone notice or otherwise, inform the person designated by MLH of
the existence or occurrence of the emergency, the full particulars thereof, the corrective action being taken or proposed and the estimated cost, if known. Such notice shall be confirmed in writing as soon as practicable. MPL shall directly charge
MLH for its costs and expenses, including those costs and expenses attributable to Affiliates or Third Party contractors utilized by MPL. 
 5.3 Special Assignments. If MLH requests MPL to perform any activity beyond the scope of the Management Services (a “Special Assignment”), and MPL agrees to that request, the costs
and expenses therefor shall be paid by MPL and shall be reimbursed by MLH. 
 ARTICLE 6 

ACCOUNTING 

6.1 Records. MPL will prepare and preserve, for and in the name of MLH, a complete set of operating, tax and financial records in
accordance with all applicable legal and industry standards. Such records will reflect any and all operating, tax and financial matters related to MLH’s investment in the MLH Pipelines and shall be kept separate from MPL’s internal records
and in a form and in a manner so that they are readily identifiable as belonging to MLH and can be accessed by MLH. MPL shall furnish all such information and reports as may be required for MLH’s internal purposes and by any federal or state
agency having appropriate jurisdiction. MLH and its duly authorized representatives may, at MLH’s option and at its sole expense at all reasonable times, but not more often than once in any calendar year, audit the books and records of MPL with
respect to the Management Services. Any audit of a particular calendar year must 

  
 7 

 
commence during the two-year period (or such longer period as the Parties may agree) following the end of such year. Nothing herein shall limit MLH’s ability to have full access, at all
reasonable times, to MLH’s books, accounts, records and all other documents, of whatever nature, in the possession or control of MPL, whether prepared by MPL or otherwise. 

6.2 Bank Accounts. Separate bank accounts will be maintained by MLH, or in MLH’s name, into which all revenues and receipts
belonging to MLH shall be deposited and from which all payments on behalf of MLH shall be made. MPL shall have such authority as delegated by MLH, from time to time, to manage the day to day cash receipts and disbursements through the bank accounts
of MLH and to invest surplus funds from time to time, all in accordance with guidelines approved by MLH. 
 ARTICLE 7

 CONFIDENTIALITY 
 7.1 Confidentiality. 
 (a) From and after the Effective Date, each Party
shall hold, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates and its and their directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, consultants, advisors, and other representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) to hold
all Confidential Information of the other Party, in strict confidence, with at least the same degree of care that applies to such Party’s confidential and proprietary information and shall not use such Confidential Information except in
connection with its performance or acceptance of services hereunder and shall not release or disclose such Confidential Information to any other Person, except its Representatives. Each Party shall be responsible for any breach of this section by
any of its Representatives. 
 (b) If a Party receives a subpoena or other demand for disclosure of Confidential Information
received from any other Party or must disclose to a governmental authority any Confidential Information received from such other Party in order to obtain or maintain any required governmental approval, the receiving Party shall, to the extent
legally permissible, provide notice to the providing Party before disclosing such Confidential Information. Upon receipt of such notice, the providing Party shall promptly either seek an appropriate protective order, waive the receiving Party’s
confidentiality obligations hereunder to the extent necessary to permit the receiving Party to respond to the demand, or otherwise fully satisfy the subpoena or demand or the requirements of the applicable governmental authority. If the receiving
Party is nonetheless legally compelled to disclose such Confidential Information or if the providing Party does not promptly respond as contemplated by this section, the receiving Party may disclose that portion of Confidential Information covered
by the notice or demand. 
 (c) Each Party acknowledges that the disclosing Party would not have an adequate remedy at law for
the breach by the receiving Party of any one or more of the covenants contained in this Section 7.1 and agrees that, in the event of such breach, the disclosing Party may, in addition to the other remedies that may be available to it, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, apply to a court for an injunction to prevent breaches of this Section 7.1 and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Section7.1. Notwithstanding any other section hereof, the provisions of
this Section7.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

  
 8 

 7.2 System Security. (a) If any Party is given access to another Party’s
computer systems or software (collectively, “Systems”) in connection with the Management Services, the Party given access (the “Availed Party”) shall comply with all of the other Party’s system security
policies, procedures and requirements that have been provided to the Availed Party in advance and in writing (collectively, the “Security Regulations”), and shall not tamper with, compromise or circumvent any security or audit
measures employed by such other Party. The Availed Party shall access and use only those Systems of the other Party for which it has been granted the right to access and use. 
 (b) Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that only those of its personnel who are specifically authorized to have access to the Systems of the other Party gain such access, and
each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access, use, destruction, alteration or loss of information contained in the Systems, including notifying its respective personnel of the restrictions set forth in this
Agreement and the Security Regulations. 
 (c) If, at any time, the Availed Party determines that any of its personnel has
sought to circumvent, or has circumvented, the Security Regulations, that any unauthorized Availed Party personnel have accessed the Systems, or that any of its personnel has engaged in activities that may lead to the unauthorized access, use,
destruction, alteration or loss of data, information or software of the other Party, the Availed Party shall promptly terminate any such person’s access to the Systems and promptly notify the other Party. In addition, such other Party shall
have the right to deny personnel of the Availed Party access to its Systems upon notice to the Availed Party in the event that the other Party reasonably believes that such personnel have engaged in any of the activities described in this
Section 7.2(c) or otherwise pose a security concern. The Availed Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other Party in investigating any apparent unauthorized access to such other Party’s Systems.

ARTICLE 10 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 10.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements, negotiations,
discussions, understandings and commitments, written or oral, between the Parties with respect to such subject matter. 
 10.2
Choice of Law; Mediation; Submission to Jurisdiction. 
 (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflict of laws. The Parties hereby declare that it is their intention that this Agreement shall be regarded as made under the laws of the State of Delaware and that
the laws of said State shall be applied in interpreting its provisions 

  
 11 

 
in all cases where legal interpretation shall be required. Each of the Parties agrees (a) that this Agreement involves at least $100,000.00, and (b) that this Agreement has been entered
into by the Parties in express reliance upon 6 Del. C. § 2708. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees (i) to be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and of the
federal courts sitting in the State of Delaware, and (ii) (A) to the extent such Party is not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of Delaware, to appoint and maintain an agent in the State of Delaware as such Party’s
agent for acceptance of legal process, and (B) that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, service of process may also be made on such Party by prepaid certified mail with a proof of mailing receipt validated by the United States
Postal Service constituting evidence of valid service, and that service made pursuant to (b) (A) or (B) above shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, have the same legal force and effect as if served upon such Party
personally within the State of Delaware. The foregoing consents to jurisdiction and service of process shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware for any purpose except as provided herein and shall not be
deemed to confer rights on any person other than the Parties. 
 (b) If the Parties cannot resolve any dispute or claim arising
under this Agreement, then no earlier than 10 days nor more than 60 days following written notice to the other Parties, any Party may initiate mandatory, non-binding mediation hereunder by giving a notice of mediation (a “Mediation
Notice”) to the other Parties. In connection with any mediation pursuant to this Section 10.2, the mediator shall be jointly appointed by the Parties and the mediation shall be conducted in Findlay, Ohio unless otherwise agreed by the
Parties. All costs and expenses of the mediator appointed pursuant to this section shall be shared equally by the Parties. The then-current Model ADR Procedures for Mediation of Business Disputes of the Center for Public Resources, Inc., either as
written or as modified by mutual agreement of the Parties, shall govern any mediation pursuant to this section. In the mediation, each Party shall be represented by one or more senior representatives who shall have authority to resolve any disputes.
If a dispute has not been resolved within 30 days after the receipt of the Mediation Notice by a Party, then any Party may refer the resolution of the dispute to litigation. 
 10.3 Amendment. This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by a written instrument signed by an authorized representative of each of MPL and MLH. 

10.4 Waiver. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, or the time for its performance may be extended, by the Party
or Parties entitled to the benefit thereof. Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently given for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to any Party, it is in writing signed by an authorized representative of such Party. The failure of any
Party to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, or in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any Party thereafter to enforce each and
every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement precludes any simultaneous or
subsequent exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement are not exclusive of, but are cumulative to, any rights or remedies now or subsequently existing at law, in equity or by statute.

	1.	PURPOSES. 

 (a)
Eligible Recipients. Only Eligible Participants may receive Options under the Plan. 
 (b) General Purpose. The
purpose of the Plan is to provide a means by which Eligible Participants may be given an opportunity to benefit from increases in value of the Common Stock through the granting of Options, to secure and retain the services of new members of this
group and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of the Company and its Affiliates. 
  

	2.	DEFINITIONS. 

 (a)
“Administrator” means the entity that conducts the general administration of the Plan as provided herein. The term “Administrator” shall refer to the Committee unless the Board has elected to exercise any of the
rights and duties of the Committee under the Plan generally, as provided in Section 3 herein. 
 (b)
“Affiliate” means any parent corporation or subsidiary corporation of the Company, whether now or hereafter existing, as those terms are defined in Sections 424(e) and (f), respectively, of the Code. 

(c) “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company. 

(d) “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 

(e) “Committee” means the Compensation Committee of the Board, or another committee or subcommittee of the
Board, appointed as provided in Section 3 herein. 
 (f) “Common Stock” means the common
stock of the Company. 
 (g) “Company” means Intuitive Surgical, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

 (h) “Consultant” means any consultant or adviser if: (a) the consultant or adviser
renders bona fide services to the Company or an Affiliate, (b) the services rendered by the consultant or adviser are not in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital raising

 
transaction and do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company’s securities, and (c) the consultant or adviser is a natural person who has contracted
directly with the Company or an Affiliate to render such services. 
 (i) “Continuous Service”
means that the Participant’s service with the Company or an Affiliate, whether as an Employee or Consultant, is not interrupted or terminated. The Participant’s Continuous Service shall not be deemed to have terminated merely because of a
change in the capacity in which the Participant renders service to the Company or an Affiliate as an Employee or Consultant or a change in the entity for which the Participant renders such service, provided that there is no interruption or
termination of the Participant’s service to the Company or an Affiliate. For example, a change in status without interruption from an Employee of the Company to a Consultant of an Affiliate will not constitute an interruption of Continuous
Service. Unless otherwise determined by the Board or chief executive officer of the Company, in that party’s sole discretion, any bona fide leave of absence authorized by the Company in accordance with established policies shall not be
considered to constitute an interruption or termination of Continuous Service. 
 (j) “Director”
means a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. 
 (k) “Disability” means the permanent
and total disability of a person within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code. 
 (l) “Eligible
Participant” means any Employee who has not previously been an Employee or Director of the Company or an Affiliate, or following a bona fide period of non-employment by the Company or an Affiliate, if he or she is granted an
Option in connection with his or her commencement of employment with the Company or an Affiliate and such grant is an inducement material to his or her entering into employment with the Company or an Affiliate. The Board may in its discretion adopt
procedures from time to time to ensure that an Employee is eligible to participate in the Plan prior to the granting of any Options to such Employee under the Plan (including, without limitation, a requirement, if any, that each such Employee
certify to the Company prior to the receipt of an Option under the Plan that he or she has not been previously employed by the Company or an Affiliates, or if previously employed, has had a bona fide period of non-employment, and that the grant of
Options under the Plan is an inducement material to his or her agreement to enter into employment with the Company or an Affiliate). 
 (m) “Employee” means any person employed by the Company or an Affiliate. Mere service as a Director or payment of a director’s fee by the Company or an Affiliate shall
not be sufficient to constitute “employment” by the Company or an Affiliate. 
 (n) “Exchange
Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 
 (o) “Fair Market
Value” means, as of any date, the value of the Common Stock determined as follows:

 2 

 
Market), (ii) national market system or (iii) automated quotation system on which the shares of Common Stock are listed, quoted or traded, its Fair Market Value shall be the closing
sales price for a share of Common Stock as quoted on such exchange or system for such date or, if there is no closing sales price for a share of Common Stock on the date in question, the closing sales price for a share of Common Stock on the last
preceding date for which such quotation exists, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Administrator deems reliable; 
 (ii) If the Common Stock is not listed on an established securities exchange, national market system or automated quotation system, but the Common Stock is regularly quoted by a recognized securities
dealer, its Fair Market Value shall be the mean of the high bid and low asked prices for such date or, if there are no high bid and low asked prices for a share of Common Stock on such date, the high bid and low asked prices for a share of Common
Stock on the last preceding date for which such information exists, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Administrator deems reliable; or 
 (iii) If the Common Stock is neither listed on an established securities exchange, national market system or automated quotation system nor regularly quoted by a recognized securities dealer, its Fair
Market Value shall be determined in good faith by the Administrator. 
 (p) “Incentive Stock
Option” means an Option intended to qualify as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Incentive Stock Options may not be granted under the Plan. 

(q) “Independent Director” means a Director of the Company who is not an Employee and who qualifies as
“independent” within the meaning of Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5605(a)(2), if the Company’s securities are traded on the Nasdaq Global Market, or the requirements of any other established stock exchange on which the Company’s
securities are traded, as such rules or requirements may be amended from time to time.

	3.	ADMINISTRATION. 

 (a)
Administration by Committee. The Plan will be administered by a Committee of two or more Independent Directors, and the term “Administrator” will apply to any person or persons to whom such authority has been delegated. As of the
Effective Date, the Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board. The Board may at any time re-vest in the Board the administration of the Plan and thereafter for purposes of the Plan the term “Administrator” as
used in this Plan will be deemed to refer to the Board; provided, however, that any action taken by the Board in connection with the administration of the Plan shall not be deemed approved by the Board unless such action is approved by
a majority of the Independent Directors. Appointment of Committee members shall be effective upon acceptance of appointment. Committee members may resign at any time by delivering written notice to the Board. Vacancies in the Committee may be filled
by the Board. To the extent desirable to qualify transactions hereunder as exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, Options under the Plan may be made by the entire Board (provided, however, that any action
taken by the Board in connection with the administration of the Plan shall not be deemed approved by the Board unless such action is approved by a majority of the Independent Directors) or a Committee meeting the requirements set forth above and
such other requirements as may be established from time to time by the Securities and Exchange Commission for Options intended to qualify for exemption under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. 

(b) Powers of Administrator. The Administrator shall have the power, subject to, and within the limitations of, the express
provisions of the Plan: 
 (i) To determine from time to time which of the persons eligible under the Plan shall be granted
Options; when and how each Option shall be granted; the provisions of each Option granted (which need not be identical), including the time or times when a person shall be permitted to receive Common Stock pursuant to an Option; and the number of
shares of Common Stock with respect to which an Option shall be granted to each such person. 
 (ii) To adopt procedures from
time to time in the Administrator’s discretion to ensure that a person is eligible to participate in the Plan prior to the granting of any Options to such person under the Plan (including, without limitation, a requirement, if any, that each
such person certify to the Company prior to the receipt of an Option under the Plan that he or she has not been previously employed by the Company or an Affiliate, or if previously employed, has had a bona fide period of non-employment, and that the
grant of Options under the Plan is an inducement material to his or her agreement to enter into employment with the Company or an Affiliate). 
 (iii) To construe and interpret the Plan and Options granted under it, and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for its administration. The Administrator, in

  
 4 

 
the exercise of this power, may correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in the Plan or in any Option Agreement, in a manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or expedient to make
the Plan fully effective. 
 (iv) Generally, to exercise such powers and to perform such acts as the Board deems necessary or
expedient to promote the best interests of the Company, which are not in conflict with the provisions of the Plan. 
 (c)
Majority Rule; Unanimous Written Consent. The Committee shall act by a majority of its members in attendance at a meeting at which a quorum is present or by a memorandum or other written instrument signed by all members of the Committee.

 (d) Compensation; Professional Assistance; Good Faith Actions. Members of the Committee shall receive such
compensation, if any, for their services as members as may be determined by the Board. All expenses and liabilities which members of the Committee incur in connection with the administration of the Plan shall be borne by the Company. The Committee
may, with the approval of the Board, employ attorneys, consultants, accountants, appraisers, brokers or other persons. The Committee, the Company and the Company’s officers and Directors shall be entitled to rely upon the advice, opinions or
valuations of any such persons. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee or the Board in good faith shall be final and binding upon all Participants, the Company and all other interested persons. No members
of the Committee or Board shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or Options, and all members of the Committee and the Board shall be fully protected by the Company in
respect of any such action, determination or interpretation. 
  

	4.	SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN. 

 (a) Share Reserve. The shares of stock subject to Options shall be Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10, the aggregate
number of such shares which may be issued with respect to Options granted under the Plan shall not exceed 730,000. 
 (b)
Reversion of Shares to the Share Reserve. If any Option shall for any reason expire or otherwise terminate, in whole or in part, without having been exercised in full, the shares of Common Stock not acquired under such Option shall revert
to and again become available for issuance under the Plan. 
 (c) Source of Shares. The shares of Common Stock subject to
the Plan may be unissued shares or reacquired shares, bought on the market or otherwise. 
  

	5.	ELIGIBILITY. 

 Options may
be granted only to Eligible Participants. All Options granted under the Plan shall be Nonstatutory Stock Options. 

  
 5 

	6.	OPTION PROVISIONS. 

 The
Administrator may grant Options, the terms of which Options shall be set forth in an appropriate Option Agreement. Each Option shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall deem appropriate. The
provisions of separate Options need not be identical, but each Option shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Option or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions: 

(a) Option Exercise Price and Option Term. The exercise price of each Option shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of the
Common Stock subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted. The term of an Option granted to an Eligible Participant shall be set by the Administrator in its discretion, but in no event shall the term of an Option exceed ten years from the
date the Option is granted. 
 (b) Consideration. The purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option shall
be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable statutes and regulations, either: (i) in cash at the time the Option is exercised, or (ii) at the discretion of the Administrator (A) by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock,
(B) according to a deferred payment or other similar arrangement with the Participant or (C) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Administrator. Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Option, the
purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option that is paid by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock acquired, directly or indirectly from the Company, shall be paid only by shares of the Common Stock of the Company that have
been held for more than the period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes. At any time that the Company is incorporated in Delaware, payment of the Common Stock’s “par value,” as defined in
the Delaware General Corporation Law, shall not be made by deferred payment. 
 (c) Deferred Payment. In the case of any
deferred payment arrangement, interest shall be compounded at least annually and shall be charged at the minimum rate of interest necessary to avoid the treatment as interest, under any applicable provisions of the Code, of any amounts other than
amounts stated to be interest under the deferred payment arrangement. 
 (d) Transferability of Options. An Option shall
be transferable to the extent provided in the Option Agreement. If the Option does not provide for transferability, then the Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during
the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death
of the Participant, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option. 
 (e) Vesting Generally. The total number of
shares of Common Stock subject to an Option may, but need not, vest and therefore become exercisable in periodic installments that may, but need not, be equal. The Option may be subject to such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it
may be exercised (which may be based on performance or other criteria) as the Administrator may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of individual 

  
 6 

 
Options may vary. The provisions of this subsection 6(e) are subject to any Option provisions governing the minimum number of shares of Common Stock as to which an Option may be exercised.

 (f) Limitations on Exercise of Options Granted. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator in the Option
Agreement, no Option granted to an Eligible Participant may be exercised to any extent by anyone after the first to occur of the following events: 
 (i) The expiration of 18 months from the date of the Participant’s death; 
 (ii) The expiration of 12 months from the date of the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service by reason of his or her Disability; 

(iii) The expiration of three months from the date of the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service for any reason other than
such Participant’s termination by the Company or an Affiliate for “Cause” (as defined in the Participant’s employment or consulting agreement with the Company in effect on the grant date of the Option, or, if the Participant does
not have an employment or consulting agreement with the Company or the Participant’s employment or consulting agreement does not include a definition of “Cause”, as defined in the Option Agreement), death or Disability, unless the
Participant dies within said three-month period; 
 (iv) The Participant’s termination by the Company or an Affiliate for
“Cause” (as defined in the Participant’s employment or consulting agreement with the Company in effect on the grant date of the Option, or, if the Participant does not have an employment or consulting agreement with the Company or the
Participant’s employment or consulting agreement does not include a definition of “Cause”, as defined in the Option Agreement); 
 (v) The expiration of the term of the Option, as set forth in the Option Agreement; or 
 (vi) Ten years from the date the Option was granted. 
 (g) Conditions to
Issuance of Stock Certificates. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for shares of stock purchased upon the exercise of any Option or portion thereof prior to fulfillment of all of the
following conditions: 
 (i) The admission of such shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which such class of stock is then
listed; 
 (ii) The completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares under any state or federal law, or
under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental regulatory body which the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable; 

  
 7 

 (iii) The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal
governmental agency which the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; 
 (iv)
The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the Option as the Administrator may establish from time to time for reasons of administrative convenience; and 

(v) The receipt by the Company of full payment for such shares, including payment of any applicable withholding tax, which in the
discretion of the Administrator may be in the form of consideration used by the Participant to pay for such shares under Section 6(b), subject to Section 9(e). 
 (h) Extension of Termination Date. A Participant’s Option Agreement may also provide that if the exercise of the Option following the termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service
(other than upon the Participant’s death or Disability) would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of shares of Common Stock would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act, then the Option shall terminate
on the earlier of: 
 (i) the expiration of the term of the Option set forth in subsection (a); 

(ii) ten years from the date the Option was granted; or 
 (iii) the expiration of a period of three months after the termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service during which the exercise of the Option would not be in violation of such
registration requirements. 
 (i) Additional Limitations on Exercise of Options. Participants may be required to
comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of an Option, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the Administrator. 

 

	7.	COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. 

(a) Availability of Shares. During the terms of the Options, the Company shall keep available at all times the number of shares of
Common Stock required to satisfy such Options. 
 (b) Securities Law Compliance. The Company shall seek to obtain from
each regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to grant Options and to issue and sell shares of Common Stock upon exercise or vesting of the Options; provided, however, that this
undertaking shall not require the Company to register under the Securities Act the Plan, any Option or any Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any such Option. If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain from any such
regulatory commission or agency the authority which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of Common Stock under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell Common Stock
upon exercise or vesting of such Options unless and until such authority is obtained. 

  
 8 

	8.	USE OF PROCEEDS FROM STOCK 

Proceeds from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to Options shall constitute general funds of the Company. 

 

	9.	MISCELLANEOUS.  

 (a)
Acceleration of Exercisability and Vesting. The Administrator shall have the power to accelerate the time at which an Option may first vest and/or be exercised in accordance with the Plan, notwithstanding the provisions in the Option stating the
time at which it may first be exercised or the time during which it will vest. 
 (b) Stockholder Rights. No Participant
shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Common Stock subject to such Option unless and until such Participant has satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Option pursuant to
its terms. 
 (c) No Employment or Other Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan or any instrument executed or Option granted
pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Option was granted or shall affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate:
(i) the employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without cause; or (ii) the service of a Consultant pursuant to the terms of such Consultant’s agreement with the Company or an Affiliate. 

(d) Investment Assurances. The Company may require a Participant, as a condition of exercising or acquiring Common Stock under any
Option: (i) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to the Participant’s knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and/or to employ a purchaser representative reasonably satisfactory to the Company who is
knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters and that he or she is capable of evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser representative, the merits and risks of exercising the Option; and (ii) to give written assurances
satisfactory to the Company stating that the Participant is acquiring Common Stock subject to the Option for the Participant’s own account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the Common Stock. The foregoing
requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to such requirements, shall be inoperative if: (A) the issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under the Option has been registered under a then
currently effective registration statement under the Securities Act; or (B) as to any particular requirement, a determination is made by counsel for the Company that such requirement need not be met in the circumstances under the then
applicable securities laws. The Company may, upon advice of counsel to the Company, place legends on stock certificates issued under the Plan as such counsel deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with applicable securities laws,
including, but not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the Common Stock. 

  
 9 

 (e) Withholding Obligations. To the extent provided by the terms of an Option
Agreement, the Participant may satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under an Option by any of the following means (in addition to the Company’s right to withhold
from any compensation paid to the Participant by the Company) or by a combination of such means: (i) tendering a cash payment; (ii) authorizing the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock otherwise
issuable to the Participant as a result of the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under the Option, provided, however, that no shares of Common Stock are withheld with a value exceeding the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law;
or (iii) delivering to the Company owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock. 
  

	10.	ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN STOCK. 

 (a) Capitalization Adjustments. If any change is made in the Common Stock subject to the Plan, or subject to any Option, without the receipt of consideration by the Company (through merger,
consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or other transaction
not involving the receipt of consideration by the Company), the Plan will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and maximum number of securities subject to the Plan pursuant to subsection 4(a) and the outstanding Options will be appropriately
adjusted in the class(es) and number of securities and price per share of Common Stock subject to such outstanding Options. The Administrator shall make such adjustments, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. The conversion
of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as a transaction “without receipt of consideration” by the Company. 
 (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, then all outstanding Options shall terminate immediately prior to such event. 

(c) Asset Sale, Merger, Consolidation or Reverse Merger. In the event of: (i) a sale, lease or other disposition of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, (ii) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, or (iii) a reverse merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation but the shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash or otherwise (collectively, a “change in control”), then any surviving corporation
or acquiring corporation shall assume any Options outstanding under the Plan or shall substitute similar stock awards (including an award to acquire the same consideration paid to the stockholders in the change in control for those outstanding under
the Plan). In the event any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation refuses to assume such Options or to substitute similar stock awards for those outstanding under the Plan, then with respect to Options held by Participants whose Continuous
Service has not terminated, the vesting of such Options (and, if applicable, the time during which such Options may be exercised) shall be accelerated in full, and the Options shall terminate if not exercised (if applicable) at or prior to the
change in control. With respect to any other Options outstanding under the Plan, such Options shall terminate if not exercised (if applicable) prior to the change in control. 

  
 10 

	11.	AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND OPTIONS. 

 (a) Amendment of Plan. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11(a), the Plan may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified at any time or from time to time by the Board. No
amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the Participant, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Option theretofore granted or awarded, unless the Option itself otherwise expressly so provides.

 (b) Contemplated Amendments. It is expressly contemplated that the Board may amend the Plan in any respect the Board
deems necessary or advisable to provide Eligible Participants with the maximum benefits provided or to be provided under the provisions of the Code. 
 (c) No Impairment of Rights. Rights under any Option granted before amendment of the Plan shall not be impaired by any amendment of the Plan unless: (i) the Company requests the consent of the
Participant; and (ii) the Participant consents in writing. 
 (d) Amendment of Options. The Board at any time, and
from time to time, may amend the terms of any one or more Options; provided, however, that the rights under any Option shall not be impaired by any such amendment unless: (i) the Company requests the consent of the Participant; and
(ii) the Participant consents in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall not, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, authorize the amendment of any outstanding Option to reduce its exercise price. Furthermore,
no Option shall be canceled and replaced with grants having a lower exercise price without the further approval of stockholders of the Company. 
  

	12.	TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE PLAN. 

 (a) Plan Term. The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. Unless sooner terminated, the Plan shall terminate on the day before the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date the Plan
is adopted by the Board. No Option may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated. 

(b) No Impairment of Rights. Suspension or termination of the Plan shall not impair rights and obligations under any Option
granted while the Plan is in effect except with the written consent of the Participant. 
  

	13.	EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN 

The Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the Board. 

  
 11 

	14.	CHOICE OF LAW/INTERPRETATION. 

 The law of the State of Delaware shall govern all questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Plan, without regard to such state’s conflict of laws rules. 

 

	15.	STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL NOT REQUIRED. 

 It is expressly intended that approval of the Company’s stockholders not be required as a condition of the effectiveness of the Plan, and the Plan’s provisions shall be interpreted in a manner
consistent with such intent for all purposes. Specifically, Rule 5635(c) promulgated by The Nasdaq Stock Market generally requires stockholder approval for stock option plans or other equity compensation arrangements adopted by companies whose
securities are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to which stock awards or stock may be acquired by officers, directors, employees or consultants of such companies. Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635(c)(4) provides an exception to this
requirement for issuances of securities to a person not previously an employee or director of the issuer, or following a bona fide period of non-employment, as an inducement material to the individual’s entering into employment with the issuer,
provided such issuances are approved by either the issuer’s independent compensation committee or a majority of the issuer’s independent directors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Options under the Plan may only be made to
Employees who have not previously been an Employee or member of the Board of the Company or an Employee or director of an Affiliate, or following a bona fide period of non-employment by the Company or an Affiliate, as an inducement material to the
Employee’s entering into employment with the Company or an Affiliate. Options under the Plan will be approved as set forth herein by: (i) the Committee, provided it is comprised solely of two or more Independent Directors, or (ii) a
majority of the Company’s Independent Directors. Accordingly, pursuant to Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635(c)(4), the issuance of Options and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or vesting of such Options pursuant to this Plan
are not subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders. 
  

	16.	SECTION 409A. 

 To
the extent that the Administrator determines that any Option granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Option Agreement evidencing such Option shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A of
the Code. To the extent applicable, the Plan and Option Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without
limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the adoption of the Plan. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the adoption of the Plan the Administrator determines that
any Option may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the adoption of the Plan), the Administrator may adopt such amendments to
the Plan and the applicable Option Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate
to: (a) exempt the Option from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Option; or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related
Department of Treasury guidance.

	17.	UNFUNDED STATUS OF AWARDS. 

The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a
Participant pursuant to an Option, nothing contained in the Plan or any Option Agreement shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Affiliate. 

 

	18.	PARTICIPANTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES.  

 The Board shall have the authority to adopt such modifications, procedures and subplans as may be necessary or desirable to comply with provisions of the laws of foreign countries in which the Company or
any Affiliate may operate to assure the viability of Options granted under the Plan in such countries and to meet the objectives of the Plan.
