        4.  Administration of the Plan.

              (a)  Procedure.

                            (i)  Multiple Administrative Bodies.
Different Committees with respect to different groups of Service Providers may administer the Plan.

                            (ii)  Section 162(m). To the extent that
the Administrator determines it to be desirable to qualify Options granted hereunder as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Plan shall be administered by a Committee of two or more “outside
directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.

                            (iii)  Rule 16b-3. To the extent desirable
to qualify transactions hereunder as exempt under Rule 16b-3, the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be structured to satisfy the requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3.

                            (iv)  Other Administration. Other than as
provided above, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee, which committee shall be constituted to satisfy Applicable Laws. 

              (b)  Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, and in the case of a Committee, subject to the
specific duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion:

                            (i)  to determine the Fair Market Value;

                            (ii)  to select the Service Providers to whom
Options and Stock Purchase Rights may be granted hereunder;

                            (iii)  to determine the number of shares of
Common Stock to be covered by each Option and Stock Purchase Right granted hereunder;

                            (iv)  to approve forms of agreement for use under
the Plan;

                            (v)  to determine the terms and conditions, not
inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Option or Stock Purchase Right granted hereunder. Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Options or Stock Purchase Rights may be exercised
(which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Option or Stock Purchase Right or the shares of Common Stock relating thereto, based in each case
on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine;

                            (vi)  to reduce the exercise price of any Option
or Stock Purchase Right to the then current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock covered by such Option or Stock Purchase Right shall have declined since the date the Option or Stock Purchase Right was granted;

                            (vii)  to institute an Option Exchange Program;

                            (viii)  to construe and interpret the terms of
the Plan and awards granted pursuant to the Plan;

                            (ix)  to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and
regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of qualifying for preferred tax treatment under foreign tax laws;

                            (x)  to modify or amend each Option or Stock
Purchase Right (subject to Section 15(c) of the Plan), including the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercisability period of Options longer than is otherwise provided for in the Plan;

                            (xi)  to allow Optionees to satisfy withholding
tax obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld. The Fair Market
Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. All elections by an Optionee to have Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions as the
Administrator may deem necessary or advisable;

                            (xii)  to authorize any person to execute on
behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Option or Stock Purchase Right previously granted by the Administrator;

                            (xiii)  to make all other determinations deemed
necessary or advisable for administering the Plan.

              (c)  Effect of Administrator’s Decision. The Administrator’s decisions, determinations and interpretations shall be
final and binding on all Optionees and any other holders of Options or Stock Purchase Rights.

        5.  Eligibility. Nonstatutory Stock Options and Stock Purchase Rights may be granted to Service Providers. 

        6.  Limitations.

              (a)  The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted.

              (b)  Neither the Plan nor any Option or Stock Purchase Right shall confer upon an Optionee any right with respect to continuing the
Optionee’s relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor shall they interfere in any way with the Optionee’s right or the Company’s right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause.

              (c)  The following limitations shall apply to grants of Options:

                            (i)  No Service Provider shall be granted, in any
fiscal year of the Company, Options to purchase more than 1,000,000 Shares.

                            (ii)  In connection with his or her initial
service, a Service Provider may be granted Options to purchase up to an additional 2,000,000 Shares, which shall not count against the limit set forth in subsection (i) above.

                            (iii)  The foregoing limitations shall be
adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization as described in Section 13. 

                            (iv)  If an Option is cancelled in the same
fiscal year of the Company in which it was granted (other than in connection with a transaction described in Section 13), the cancelled Option will be counted against the limits set forth in subsections (i) and (ii) above. For this purpose, if the
exercise price of an Option is reduced, the transaction will be treated as a cancellation of the Option and the grant of a new Option.

        7.  Term of Plan. Subject to Section 19 of the Plan, the Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the Board. It shall continue in effect for a term of
five (5) years unless terminated earlier under Section 15 of the Plan.

        8.  Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be stated in the Option Agreement. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the term shall be five (5) years
from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement. 

        9.  Option Exercise Price and Consideration.

              (a)  Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be
determined by the Administrator, subject to the following:

                            (i)  The per Share exercise price shall be
determined by the Administrator. In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the
Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

                            (ii)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may
be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a merger or other corporate transaction.

              (b)  Waiting Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator shall fix the period within which
the Option may be exercised and shall determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised.

              (c)  Form of Consideration. The Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option,
including the method of payment. Such consideration may consist entirely of:

                            (i)  cash;

                            (ii)  check;

                            (iii)  promissory note;

                            (iv)  other Shares, provided Shares acquired
directly from the Company, (A) have been owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender, and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option
shall be exercised;

                            (v)  consideration received by the Company under
a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan;

                            (vi)  a reduction in the amount of any Company
liability to the Optionee, including any liability attributable to the Optionee’s participation in any Company-sponsored deferred compensation program or arrangement;

                            (vii)  any combination of the foregoing methods
of payment; or

                            (viii)  such other consideration and method of
payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

        10.  Exercise of Option.

              (a)  Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder. Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms
of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Options granted hereunder shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of
absence. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

                     An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) written or electronic notice of
exercise (in accordance with the Option Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment
authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if requested by the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee and his or her spouse.
Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to
the Optione
d Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such 

Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 13 of the Plan.

                     Exercising an Option in any manner shall decrease the number of Shares thereafter available, both for
purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

              (b)  Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the
Optionee’s death or Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the
expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Optionee’s termination. If, on the date of
termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by
the Administ
rator, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

              (c)  Disability of Optionee. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Optionee’s Disability, the
Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in
the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee’s termination. If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his
or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares
cover
ed by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

              (d)  Death of Optionee. If an Optionee dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised within such period of time
as is specified in the Option Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant), by the Optionee’s estate or by a person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or
inheritance, but only to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death. In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee’s termination. If, at
the time of death, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan. The Option may be exercised by the executor or administrator of the Optionee’
s estate
or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to exercise the Option under the Optionee’s will or the laws of descent or distribution. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by
such Option shall revert to the Plan.

              (e)  Buyout Provisions. The Administrator may at any time offer to buy out for a payment in cash or Shares an Option
previously granted based on such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the Optionee at the time that such offer is made.

        11.  Stock Purchase Rights.

              (a)  Rights to Purchase. Stock Purchase Rights may be issued either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other awards
granted under the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan. After the Administrator determines that it will offer Stock Purchase Rights under the Plan, it shall advise the offeree in writing or electronically, by means of a Notice of Grant, of the
terms, conditions and restrictions related to the offer, including the number of Shares that the offeree shall be entitled to purchase, the price to be paid, and the time within which the offeree must accept such offer. The offer shall be accepted by
execution of a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement in the form determined by the Administrator.

              (b)  Repurchase Option. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement shall grant the
Company a repurchase option exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the purchaser’s service with the Company for any reason (including death or Disability). The purchase price for Shares repurchased pursuant to the Restricted
Stock Purchase Agreement shall be the original price paid by the purchaser and may be paid by cancellation of any indebtedness of the purchaser to the Company. The repurchase option shall lapse at a rate determined by the Administrator.

              (c)  Other Provisions. The Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement shall contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not
inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. 

              (d)  Rights as a Shareholder. Once the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, the purchaser shall have the rights equivalent to
those of a shareholder, and shall be a shareholder when his or her purchase is entered upon the records of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to
the date the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, except as provided in Section 13 of the Plan.

        12.  Non-Transferability of Options and Stock Purchase Rights. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, an Option or Stock Purchase Right may not be
sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee. If the Administrator makes an
Option or Stock Purchase Right transferable, such Option or Stock Purchase Right shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate.

        13.  Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Merger or Asset Sale. 

              (a)  Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, the number of shares of
Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option and Stock Purchase Right, and the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options or Stock Purchase Rights have yet been granted or which
have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option or Stock Purchase Right, the number of shares that may be added annually to the shares reserved under the Plan (pursuant to Section 3(a)(i)), as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right, shall be
proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend
, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible
securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.”  Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly
provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of
Common Stock subject to an Option or Stock Purchase Right.

              (b)  Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator
shall notify each Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for an Optionee to have the right to exercise his or her Option until ten (10) days prior to such
transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock covered thereby, including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable. In addition, the Administrator may provide that any Company repurchase option applicable to any Shares purchased upon
exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right shall lapse as to all such Shares, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Option or
Stock Purcha
se Right will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

              (c)  Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of
substantially all of the assets of the Company, each outstanding Option and Stock Purchase Right shall be assumed or an equivalent option or right substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the
event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Option or Stock Purchase Right, the Optionee shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise the Option or Stock Purchase Right as to all of the Optioned Stock, including
Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. If an Option or Stock Purchase Right becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the Administrator shall notify
the Optionee in writin
g or electronically that the Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be fully vested and exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Option or Stock Purchase Right shall terminate upon the expiration of such period.
For the purposes of this paragraph, the Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or sale of assets, the option or right confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share 

of Optioned Stock subject to the Option or Stock Purchase Right immediately prior to the merger or sale of assets, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or sale of
assets by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided,
however, that if such consideration received in the merger or sale of assets is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be
received upon the exercise of the Option or Stock Purchase Right, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option or Stock Purchase Right, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per
share considerat
ion received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or sale of assets.

        14.  Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination
granting such Option or Stock Purchase Right, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination shall be provided to each Optionee within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

        15.  Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

              (a)  Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan. 

              (b)  Shareholder Approval. The Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and
desirable to comply with Applicable Laws. 

              (c)  Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the
rights of any Optionee, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company. Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator’s ability
to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Options granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

        16.  Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

              (a)  Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right unless the
exercise of such Option or Stock Purchase Right and the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

              (b)  Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right, the Company may require
the person exercising such Option or Stock Purchase Right to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.

        17.  Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by
the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been
obtained.

        18.  Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient
to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.Exhibit 10(a)
