Restricted Stock are repurchased by the Company at their original purchase price, such Shares shall become available for future grant under the Plan. 
  
 4. Administration of the P1an. 
  
 (a) The Plan shall be administered by the Board or a Committee appointed by the Board, which Committee shall be constituted to comply with Applicable
Laws. 
  
 (b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the
provisions of the Plan and, in the case of a Committee, the specific duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, and subject to the approval of any relevant authorities, the Administrator shall have the authority in its discretion: 

 
 (i) to determine the Fair Market Value; 
  

 3 

 (ii) to select the Service Providers to whom Options and Stock Purchase Rights may from time to time be
granted hereunder; 
  
 (iii) to determine the number of Shares to
be covered by each such award granted hereunder; 
  
 (iv) to
approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan; 
  
 (v) to
determine the terms and conditions, 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 Common Stock relating thereto, based in each case on
such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine; 
  
 (vi) to determine whether and under what circumstances an Option may be settled in cash under subsection 9(f) instead of Common Stock; 
  
 (vii) to reduce the exercise price of any Option to the then current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the
Common Stock covered by such Option has declined since the date the Option was granted; 
  
 (viii) to initiate an Option Exchange Program; 
  
 (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 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 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 Optionees 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; and 
  
 (xi) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and awards granted pursuant to the Plan. 
  
 (c) Effect of Administrator’s Decision. All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and binding on
all Optionees. 
  
 5. Eligibility. 
  
 (a) Nonstatutory Stock Options and Stock Purchase Rights may be granted to
Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. 
  

 4 

 (b) Each Option shall be designated in the Option Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a
Nonstatutory Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any
calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $ 100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 5(b), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the
order in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted. 
  
 (c) Neither the Plan nor any Option or Stock Purchase Right shall confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to continuing the Optionee’s
relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or the Company’s right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause. 
  
 6. Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by
the Board. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated under Section 14 of the Plan. 
  
 7. Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be stated in the Option Agreement; provided, however, that the term shall be no more than ten (10)
years from the date of grant thereof. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement. 
  
 8. Option Exercise Price and Consideration. 
  
 (a) The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined
by the Administrator, but shall be subject to the following: 
  
 (i) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option 
  
 (1)
granted to an Employee who, at the time of grant of such Option, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the exercise price shall be no less than
110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. 
  
 (2) granted to any other Employee, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. 
  
 (ii) In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option 
  
 (1) granted to a Service Provider who, at the time of grant of such Option, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of
all 
  

 5 

 classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair
Market Value per Share on the date of the grant. 
  
 (2) granted
to any other Service Provider, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 85% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. 
  
 (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price other than as required above pursuant to a merger or other
corporate transaction. 
  
 (b) The consideration to be paid for
the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be determined at the time of grant). Such consideration may consist
of (1) cash, (2) check, (3) promissory note, (4) other Shares which (x) in the case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option, have been owned by the Optionee for more than six months on the date of surrender, and (y) have a Fair Market Value on
the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which such Option shall be exercised, (5) consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan,
or (6) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. In making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Administrator shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to benefit the
Company. 
  
 9. Exercise of Option. 
  
 (a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder. Any Option
granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms hereof at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement, but in no case at a rate of less than 20% per year over five (5)
years from the date the Option is granted. 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 Shares, 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 12 of the Plan. 
  

 6 

 Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in 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, such Optionee may exercise his or her Option
within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement (of at least thirty (30) days) 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 the 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 Administrator, 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 such disability is not a “disability” as such term is defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, in the case of an Incentive
Stock Option such Incentive Stock Option shall automatically cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option on the day three months and one day following such 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 covered 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)
Buy out 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 
  

 7 

 conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the Optionee at the time that such offer is made.

  
 10. Non-Transferability of Options and Stock Purchase
Rights. Options and Stock Purchase Rights 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. 
  
 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 of the terms, conditions and restrictions related to the offer, including the number of Shares that such person shall be entitled to purchase, the price to be paid, and the time within which such
person must accept such offer. The terms of the offer shall comply in all respects with Section 260.140.42 of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations. 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 such rate as the Administrator may determine, but in no case at a rate of less than 20% per year over five years from the date of purchase. 
  
 (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 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 shall 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 12 of the Plan. 
  
 12. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, 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 or 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, as well as the price per share of Common Stock 
  

 8 

 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. The 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 fifteen
(15) 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 Purchase Right will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action. 
  
 (c) Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation or any other entity or the
exchange of substantially all of the outstanding stock of the Company for shares of another entity or other property in which, after either transaction the prior shareholders of the Company own less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares of
the continuing or surviving entity, or in the event of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, (either event, a “Change of Control”), then 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 or a Parent or a Subsidiary of the successor corporation refuses to assume or
substitute for each outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right, the Optionees shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise each outstanding Option and Stock Purchase right as to all of the Optioned Stock covered thereby, including Shares as to
which would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. If an Option and/or Stock Purchase Right becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a Change of Control, the Administrator shall notify all Optionees
that all outstanding Options and Stock Purchase Rights shall be fully exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, any Options and Stock Purchase Rights that are not exercised within such period shall terminate upon
the expiration of such period. For the purposes of this paragraph, all outstanding Options and Stock Purchase Rights shall be considered assumed if, following the consummation of the Change of Control, the Option and Stock Purchase 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 consummation of the Change of Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities property)
received in the Change of Control by holders 
  

 9 

 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 chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change of Control 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 or Subsidiary equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Change of Control. 
  
 13. Time of Granting Options and Stock Purchase Rights. The date of
grant of an Option or Stock Purchase Right shall, for all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Option or Stock Purchase Right, or such other date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the
determination shall be given to each Employee or Consultant to whom an Option or Stock Purchase Right is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant. 
  
 14. 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 Board 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 Administrators ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Options granted under
the Plan prior to the date of such termination. 
  
 15.
Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. 
  
 (a) Legal
Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option 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, the Administrator may require the person exercising such Option 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. 
  

16. 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 
  

 10 

 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. 
  
 17. Reservation of
Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. 
  
 18. Shareholder Approval. The Plan shall be subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12)
months after the date the Plan is adopted. Such shareholder approval shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under Applicable Laws. 
  
 19. Information to Optionees and Purchasers. The Company shall provide to each Optionee and to each individual who acquires Shares pursuant to the
Plan, not less frequently than annually during the period such Optionee or purchaser has one or more Options or Stock Purchase Rights outstanding, and, in the case of an individual who acquires Shares pursuant to the Plan, during the period such
individual owns such Shares, copies of annual financial statements. The Company shall not be required to provide such statements to key employees whose duties in connection with the Company assure their access to equivalent information.

Subsidiary, or any successor. For purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no such leave may exceed ninety (90) days, unless reemployment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract. If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of
absence approved by the Company is not so guaranteed, on the 181st day of such leave any Incentive Stock Option held by the Holder shall cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock
Option. Neither service as a Director nor payment of a director’s fee by the Company shall be sufficient to constitute “employment” by the Company.

exchange or system for the last market trading day prior to the time of determination, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Administrator deems reliable; 
  
 (ii) If the Common Stock is regularly quoted by a recognized securities
dealer but selling prices are not reported, its Fair Market Value shall be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices for the Common Stock on the last market trading day prior to the day of determination; or

assumed by the Company and expire or are canceled without having been exercised in full, the number of shares subject to each such option as to which such option was not exercised prior to its expiration or cancellation. Shares issued upon exercise
of Awards may be authorized but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock. The Shares may be authorized but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock. 
  
 If an Award expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, or is surrendered pursuant to an Option Exchange Program, the
unpurchased Shares which were subject thereto shall become available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless the Plan has terminated). Shares which are delivered by the Holder or withheld by the Company upon the exercise of an Award under
the Plan, in payment of the exercise price thereof or tax withholding thereon, may again be optioned, granted or awarded hereunder, subject to the limitations of this Section 3. If Shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited back to the Company or
repurchased by the Company at a price not greater than their original exercise price and pursuant to the exercise of the Company’s repurchase rights or the forfeiture provisions under the Plan, such Shares shall become available for future
grant under the Plan. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3, no Shares may again be optioned, granted or awarded if such action would cause an Incentive Stock Option to fail to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under Code Section 422.

  
 4. Administration of the P1an. 
  
 (a) Administrator. Except to the extent otherwise provided below, the
Plan shall be administered by the Board or a Committee appointed by the Board, which Committee shall be constituted to comply with Applicable Laws. If administration is delegated to a Committee, the Committee shall have, in connection with the
administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed by the Board (and references in this Plan to the Board shall thereafter be to the Committee), subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as
may be adopted from time to time by the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, from and after the Public Trading Date, a Committee of the Board shall administer the Plan and the Committee shall consist solely of two or more Non-Employee
Directors each of whom is both an “outside director,” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of 
  

 5 

 the Code, and a “non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3, and such Committee shall be otherwise
comprised to comply with all Applicable Laws. Within the scope of such authority, the Board or the Committee may (i) delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board who are not Non-Employee Directors the authority to grant Awards under
the Plan to eligible persons who are either (1) not then “covered employees,” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and are not expected to be “covered employees” at the time of recognition of income resulting from
such award or (2) not persons with respect to whom the Company wishes to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code and/or (ii) delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board who are not “non-employee directors,” within the
meaning of Rule 16b-3, the authority to grant Awards under the Plan to eligible persons who are not then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In its absolute discretion, the Board may at any time and from time to time exercise any and all
rights and duties of the Committee under the Plan except with respect to matters which under Rule 16b-3 or Section 162(m) of the Code, or any regulations or rules issued thereunder, are required to be determined in the sole discretion of the
Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the full Board, acting by a majority of its members in office, shall conduct the general administration of the Plan with respect to Awards granted to Non-Employee Directors. 
  
 (b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan
and, in the case of a Committee, the specific duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, and subject to the approval of any relevant authorities, the Administrator shall have the authority in its discretion: 
  
 (i) to determine the Fair Market Value; 
  
 (ii) to select the Service Providers to whom Awards may from time to time be
granted hereunder; 
  
 (iii) to determine the number of Shares to
be covered by each such Award granted hereunder; 
  
 (iv) to
approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan; 
  
 (v) to
determine the terms and conditions of any Awards granted hereunder. Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Awards 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 Award or the Common Stock relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine;

  
 (vi) to determine whether and under what circumstances an
Option may be settled in cash under Section 7(f) instead of Common Stock; 
  

 6 

 (vii) 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; 
  
 (viii) to reduce the exercise price of any Award to the then current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock covered by such Award
has declined since the date the Option was granted; 
  
 (ix) to
initiate an Option Exchange Program; 
  
 (x) to allow Holders to
satisfy withholding tax obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Award that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the 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 Holders 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; and 
  
 (xi) to
construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and awards granted pursuant to the Plan. 
  
 (c) Effect of Administrator’s Decision. All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and binding on all Holders. 
  
 (d) Provisions Applicable to Section 162(m) Participants. 

 
 (i) The Administrator, in its discretion, may determine whether an Award
is to qualify as performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code. 
  
 (ii) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Administrator may grant any Award to a Section 162(m) Participant, including Restricted
Stock the restrictions with respect to which lapse upon the attainment of performance goals which are related to one or more of the Performance Criteria and any performance or incentive award described in Section 9 that vests or becomes exercisable
or payable upon the attainment of performance goals which are related to one or more of the Performance Criteria. 
  
 (iii) To the extent necessary to comply with the performance-based compensation requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, with respect to any
Award granted under Sections 8 and 9 which may be granted to one or more Section 162(m) Participants, no later than ninety (90) days following the commencement of any fiscal year in question or any other designated fiscal period or period of service
(or such other time as may be required or permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code), the Administrator shall, in writing, (A) designate one or more Section 162(m) Participants, (B) select the Performance Criteria applicable to the fiscal year or
other designated fiscal period or period of service, (C) establish 
  

 7 

 the various performance targets, in terms of an objective formula or standard, and amounts of such Awards which may be
earned for such fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or period of service, and (D) specify the relationship between Performance Criteria and the performance targets and the amounts of such Awards to be earned by each Section 162(m)
Participant for such fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or period of service. Following the completion of each fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or period of service, the Administrator shall certify in writing whether the
applicable performance targets have been achieved for such fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or period of service. In determining the amount earned by a Section 162(m) Participant, the Administrator shall have the right to reduce (but
not to increase) the amount payable at a given level of performance to take into account additional factors that the Administrator may deem relevant to the assessment of individual or corporate performance for the fiscal year or other designated
fiscal period or period of service. 
  
 (iv) Furthermore,
notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award, the Plan and any Award which is granted to a Section 162(m) Participant and is intended to qualify as performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code shall
be subject to any additional limitations set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code (including any amendment to Section 162(m) of the Code) or any regulations or rulings issued thereunder that are requirements for qualification as performance-based
compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements. 

 
 5. Eligibility. 
  
 (a) General Eligibility. Awards may be granted to Service Providers.
Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. Each Non-Employee Director of the Company shall be eligible to be automatically granted Options at the times and in the manner set forth in Section 7(i). 
  
 (b) No Right to Continuing Service. Neither the Plan nor any Award
shall confer upon any Holder any right with respect to continuing the Holder’s relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or the Company’s right to terminate such
relationship at any time, with or without cause. 
  
 (c) Award
Limit. No Service Provider shall be granted, in any calendar year, Awards to purchase more than 1,500,000 Shares; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply prior to the Public Trading Date and,
following the Public Trading Date, the foregoing limitation shall not apply until the earliest of: (i) the first material modification of the Plan (including any increase in the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan in accordance
with Section 3); (ii) the issuance of all of the shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan; (iii) the expiration of the Plan; (iv) the first meeting of stockholders at which Directors of the Company are to be elected that occurs
after the close of the third calendar year following the calendar year in which occurred the first registration of an 
  

 8 

 equity security of the Company under Section 12 of the Exchange Act; or (v) such other date required by Section 162(m) of
the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The foregoing limitation shall be adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization as described in Section 12. For purposes of this Section
5(c), if an Option is canceled in the same calendar year it was granted (other than in connection with a transaction described in Section 12), the canceled Option will be counted against the limit set forth in this Section 5(c). For this purpose, if
the exercise price of an Option is reduced, the transaction shall be treated as a cancellation of the Option and the grant of a new Option. 
  
 6. Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the Board. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless
sooner terminated under Section 14 of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incentive Stock Option may be granted under this Plan after the first to occur of (a) the expiration of ten (10) years from the date the Plan is adopted by the Board
or (b) the expiration of ten (10) years from the date the Plan is approved by the Company’s stockholders under Section 21. 
  
 7. Terms of Options. 
  
 (a) Limitations on Incentive Stock Options. Each Option shall be designated in the applicable Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option
or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Holder during any
calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 5(a), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the
order in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted. 
  
 (b) Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be stated in the applicable Award Agreement; provided, however, that, in the case
of Incentive Stock Options, the term shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Holder who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten
percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. 

 
 (c) Option Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the
Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the Administrator (provided, however, that the per share exercise price shall be no less than the par value of a Share, unless otherwise permitted
by applicable state law), and shall be subject to the following: 
  
 (i) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option 
  

 9 

 (A) granted to an Employee who, at the time of grant of such Option, owns (or is treated as owning under
Code Section 424) stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the exercise price shall be no less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value
per Share on the date of grant. 
  
 (B) granted to any other
Employee, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. 
  
 (ii) In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the per Share exercise price shall be determined by the Administrator. 
  
 (iii) In the case of Options intended to qualify as performance-based
compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. 
  
 (d) Consideration. The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be
issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be determined at the time of grant). Such consideration may consist of (i) cash, (ii)
check, (iii) with the consent of the Administrator, a full recourse promissory note bearing interest (at no less than such rate as is a market rate of interest and which then precludes the imputation of interest under the Code) and payable upon such
terms as may be prescribed by the Administrator, (iv) with the consent of the Administrator, from and after the Public Trading Date, other Shares which (A) in the case of Shares acquired from the Company, have been owned by the Holder for more than
six (6) months, or the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the Company’s earnings for financial reporting purposes, 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 such Option shall be exercised, (v) with the consent of the Administrator, from and after the Public Trading Date, delivery of a notice that the Holder has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to
Shares then issuable upon exercise of the Options and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the Option exercise price, provided that payment of such
proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of such sale, or (vi) with the consent of the Administrator, any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. In making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the
Administrator shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to benefit the Company. In the case of a promissory note, the Administrator may also prescribe the form of such note and the security to be given for such
note. The Option may not be exercised, however, by delivery of a promissory note or by a loan from the Company when or where such loan or other extension of credit is prohibited by law, and payment in the manner prescribed by the preceding sentences
shall not be permitted to the extent that the Administrator determines that payment in such manner may result in an extension or maintenance of credit, an 
  

 10 

 arrangement for the extension of credit, or a renewal of an extension of credit in the form of a personal loan to or for
any Director or executive officer of the Company that is prohibited by Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act or other Applicable Law. 
  
 (e) Exercise of Option. 
  
 (i) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder. Any Option granted hereunder shall be vested and exercisable according to the terms hereof at
such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award 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: (A) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Award Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, (B) such representations and documents as the
Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable to effect compliance with Applicable Laws, (C) upon the exercise of all or a portion of an unvested Option pursuant to Section 8(h), a Restricted Stock purchase agreement in a form
determined by the Administrator and signed by the Holder or other person then entitled to exercise the Option or such portion of the Option; and (D) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised, including payment of any
applicable withholding tax. Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Award 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 Holder, in the name of the Holder 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 Shares, 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 12 of the Plan. 
  
 (ii) Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If a Holder ceases to be a Service Provider other than by
reason of the Holder’s death or Disability, such Holder may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Award 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 the Option as set forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Optionee’s termination. If, on
the date of termination, the Holder 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 Holder does not exercise his or her Option within the
time specified by the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. 
  

 11 

 (iii) Disability of Optionee. If a Holder ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the
Holder’s Disability, the Holder may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Award 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 Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Holder’s termination. If, on the date of termination,
the Holder 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 Holder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the
Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. 
  
 (iv) Death of Optionee. If a Holder dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement, by the Holder’s estate or by a person who
acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant). In the
absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee’s termination. If, at the time of death, the Holder 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 Holder’s estate or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to exercise the Option under the
Holder’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. 
  
 (f) Buy out 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 Holder at the time that such offer is made. 
  
 (g) Regulatory Extension. A Holder’s Award Agreement may provide
that if the exercise of the Option following the termination of the Holder’s status as a Service Provider (other than upon the Holder’s death or Disability) would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of shares 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 Section 7(b) or (ii) the expiration of a period of three (3) months after the
termination of the Holder’s status as a Service Provider during which the exercise of the Option would not be in violation of such registration requirements. 
  
 (h) Early Exercisability. The Administrator may provide in the terms of a Holder’s Award Agreement that the
Holder may, at any time before the Holder’s status as a Service Provider terminates, exercise the Option in whole or in part prior to the full vesting of the Option; provided, however, that Shares acquired upon exercise of
an Option which has not 
  

 12 

 fully vested may be subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, transfer or other restrictions as the Administrator may
determine in its sole discretion. 
  
 (i) Granting of Options
to Non-Employee Directors. 
  
 (i) During the term of the
Plan, a person who is initially elected to the Board after the Public Trading Date and who is a Non-Employee Director at the time of such initial election automatically shall be granted an Option to purchase 40,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 12) on the date of such initial election (an “Initial Option”). In addition, during the term of the Plan, each Non-Employee Director automatically shall be granted an Option to purchase 10,000
shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 12) on the date of each annual meeting of stockholders following the Public Trading Date (a “Subsequent Option”); provided, however, that a person
who is initially elected to the Board after the Public Trading Date at an annual meeting of stockholders and who is a Non-Employee Director at the time of such initial election shall receive only an Initial Option on the date of such election and
shall not receive a Subsequent Option until the date of the next annual meeting of stockholders following such initial election. Members of the Board who are employees of the Company who subsequently retire from the Company and remain on the Board
will not receive an Initial Option grant pursuant to the first sentence above, but to the extent that they are otherwise eligible, will receive, after retirement from employment with the Company, Subsequent Options as described in the preceding
sentence. All the foregoing Option grants authorized by this Section 7(i) are subject to stockholder approval of the Plan. 
  
 (ii) The price per share of the shares subject to each Option granted to a Non-Employee Director shall equal one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair
Market Value per Share on the date of grant. Initial Options granted to Non-Employee Directors shall become exercisable over four (4) years, with twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares subject to each Option becoming exercisable on the one year
anniversary of the date of grant and the remaining shares becoming exercisable in equal monthly installments on each monthly anniversary thereafter. Subsequent Options granted to Non-Employee Directors shall become exercisable over four (4) years in
equal monthly installments on each monthly anniversary of the date of grant. Subject to Sections 7(e)(ii), (iii) and (iv), the term of each Option granted to a Non-Employee Director shall be ten (10) years from the date the Option is granted.
 
  
 (j) Options in Lieu of Compensation. Options may
be granted under the Plan to Employees and Consultants in lieu of cash bonuses which would otherwise be payable to such Employees and Consultants and to Non-Employee Directors in lieu of directors’ fees which would otherwise be payable to such
Non-Employee Directors, pursuant to such policies which may be adopted by the Administrator from time to time. 
  
 8. Restricted Stock Awards. 
  

 13 

 (a) Rights to Purchase. Restricted Stock may be issued to Service Providers 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 Restricted Stock under the Plan, it shall advise the offeree in writing or
electronically of the terms, conditions and restrictions related to the offer, including the number of Shares that such person shall be entitled to purchase, the price to be paid, if any, and the time within which such person must accept such offer;
provided, however, that the purchase price shall be no less than the par value of the Common Stock to be purchased, unless otherwise permitted by applicable state law. Restricted Stock may also be awarded in consideration for past
services actually rendered to the Company for its benefit. The offer shall be accepted by execution of an Award Agreement in the form determined by the Administrator. 
  
 (b) Repurchase Option; Forfeiture. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the Award Agreement shall grant the
Company a repurchase option exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the Holder’s service with the Company for any reason (including death or Disability). If no cash consideration was paid by the Holder upon issuance, a
Holder’s rights in unvested Restricted Stock shall be forfeited to the Company, without consideration, upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the Holder’s service with the Company for any reason (including death or Disability).
The purchase price for Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to such repurchase right and the rate at which such repurchase right or forfeiture provisions shall lapse shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, and shall be
set forth in the Award Agreement; provided, however, that, except with respect to shares of Restricted Stock granted to Section 162(m) Participants, by action taken after the Restricted Stock is issued, the Administrator
may, on such terms and conditions as it may determine to be appropriate, remove any or all of the restrictions imposed by the terms of the Award Agreement. Restricted Stock may not be sold or encumbered until all restrictions are terminated or
expire. 
  
 (c) Other Provisions. The Award 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 Restricted Stock is issued, the Holder shall have 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 shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Restricted Stock is
issued, except as provided in Section 12 of the Plan. 
  
 9.
Performance Awards, Dividend Equivalents, Deferred Stock and Stock Payments. 
  
 (a) Eligibility. One or more Performance Awards, Dividend Equivalents, awards of Deferred Stock and/or Stock Payments may be granted to any Service Provider whom the Administrator determines should receive such
an Award. 
  

 14 

 (b) Performance Awards. 
  
 (i) Any Service Provider selected by the Administrator may be granted one or more Performance Awards. The value of such
Performance Awards may be linked to any one or more of the Performance Criteria or other specific performance criteria determined appropriate by the Administrator, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by
the Administrator. In making such determinations, the Administrator shall consider (among such other factors as it deems relevant in light of the specific type of award) the contributions, responsibilities and other compensation of the particular
Service Provider. 
  
 (ii) Without limiting Section 9(b)(i), the
Administrator may grant Performance Awards to any 162(m) Participant in the form of a cash bonus payable upon the attainment of objective performance goals which are established by the Administrator and relate to one or more of the Performance
Criteria, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the Administrator. Any such bonuses paid to 162(m) Participants shall be based upon objectively determinable bonus formulas established in accordance
with the provisions of Section 4(d). Unless otherwise specified by the Administrator at the time of grant, the Performance Criteria with respect to a Performance Award payable to a 162(m) Participant shall be determined on the basis of generally
accepted accounting principles. 
  
 (c) Dividend
Equivalents. 
  
 (i) Any Service Provider selected by the
Administrator may be granted Dividend Equivalents based on the dividends declared on Common Stock, to be credited as of dividend payment dates, during the period between the date a Stock Appreciation Right, Deferred Stock or Performance Award is
granted, and the date such Stock Appreciation Right, Deferred Stock or Performance Award is exercised, vests or expires, as determined by the Administrator. Such Dividend Equivalents shall be converted to cash or additional shares of Common Stock by
such formula and at such time and subject to such limitations as may be determined by the Administrator. 
  
 (ii) Any Holder of an Option who is a Service Provider selected by the Administrator may be granted Dividend Equivalents based on the dividends declared
on Common Stock, to be credited as of dividend payment dates, during the period between the date an Option is granted, and the date such Option is exercised, vests or expires, as determined by the Administrator. Such Dividend Equivalents shall be
converted to cash or additional shares of Common Stock by such formula and at such time and subject to such limitations as may be determined by the Administrator. 
  
 (iii) Dividend Equivalents granted with respect to Options intended to be qualified performance-based compensation for
purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code shall be payable, with respect to pre-exercise periods, regardless of whether such Option is subsequently exercised. 
  

 15 

 (d) Stock Payments. Any Service Provider selected by the Administrator may receive Stock Payments
in the manner determined from time to time by the Administrator. The number of shares shall be determined by the Administrator and may be based upon the Performance Criteria or other specific performance criteria determined appropriate by the
Administrator, determined on the date such Stock Payment is made or on any date thereafter. 
  
 (e) Deferred Stock. Any Service Provider selected by the Administrator may be granted an award of Deferred Stock in the manner determined from time to time by the Administrator. The number of shares of Deferred
Stock shall be determined by the Administrator and may be linked to the Performance Criteria or other specific performance criteria determined to be appropriate by the Administrator, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or
periods determined by the Administrator. Common Stock underlying a Deferred Stock award will not be issued until the Deferred Stock award has vested, pursuant to a vesting schedule or performance criteria set by the Administrator. Unless otherwise
provided by the Administrator, a Holder of Deferred Stock shall have no rights as a Company stockholder with respect to such Deferred Stock until such time as the Award has vested and the Common Stock underlying the Award has been issued.

  
 (f) Term. The term of a Performance Award, Dividend
Equivalent, award of Deferred Stock and/or Stock Payment shall be set by the Administrator in its discretion. 
  
 (g) Exercise or Purchase Price. The Administrator may establish the exercise or purchase price of a Performance Award, shares of Deferred Stock or
shares received as a Stock Payment; provided, however, that such price shall not be less than the par value of a share of Common Stock, unless otherwise permitted by applicable state law. 
  
 (h) Exercise Upon Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. A
Performance Award, Dividend Equivalent, award of Deferred Stock and/or Stock Payment is exercisable or payable only while the Holder is a Service Provider, as applicable; provided, however, that the Administrator in its sole and
absolute discretion may provide that the Performance Award, Dividend Equivalent, award of Deferred Stock and/or Stock Payment may be exercised or paid subsequent to a termination of the Holder’s relationship as a Service Provider following a
“change of control or ownership” (within the meaning of Section 1.162-27(e)(2)(v) or any successor regulation thereto) of the Company; provided, further, that except with respect to Performance Awards granted to Section
162(m) Participants, the Administrator in its sole and absolute discretion may provide that Performance Awards may be exercised or paid following a termination of the Holder’s relationship as a Service Provider without cause, or following a
change in control of the Company, or because of the Holder’s retirement, death or Disability, or otherwise. 
  
 (i) Form of Payment. Payment of the amount determined under Section 9(b) or 9(c) above shall be in cash, in Common Stock or a combination of both,
as determined by the Administrator. To the extent any payment under this Section 9 is effected in Common Stock, it shall be made subject to satisfaction of all provisions of Section 15. 
  

 16 

 10. Stock Appreciation Rights. 
  
 (a) Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted to any Service Provider selected by
the Administrator. A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted (i) in connection and simultaneously with the grant of an Option, (ii) with respect to a previously granted Option, or (iii) independent of an Option. A Stock Appreciation Right shall be
subject to such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Administrator shall impose and shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. 
  
 (b) Coupled Stock Appreciation Rights. 
  
 (i) A Coupled Stock Appreciation Right (“CSAR”) shall be related to a particular Option and shall be exercisable only when and to the
extent the related Option is exercisable. 
  
 (ii) A CSAR may be
granted to the Holder for no more than the number of shares subject to the simultaneously or previously granted Option to which it is coupled. 
  
 (iii) A CSAR shall entitle the Holder (or other person entitled to exercise the Option pursuant to the Plan) to surrender to the Company unexercised a
portion of the Option to which the CSAR relates (to the extent then exercisable pursuant to its terms) and to receive from the Company in exchange therefor an amount determined by multiplying the difference obtained by subtracting the Option
exercise price from the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of the CSAR by the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the CSAR shall have been exercised, subject to any limitations the Administrator
may impose. 
  
 (c) Independent Stock Appreciation Rights.

  
 (i) An Independent Stock Appreciation Right
(“ISAR”) shall be unrelated to any Option and shall have a term set by the Administrator. An ISAR shall be exercisable in such installments as the Administrator may determine. An ISAR shall cover such number of shares of Common
Stock as the Administrator may determine. The exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to each ISAR shall be set by the Administrator. An ISAR is exercisable only while the Holder is a Service Provider; provided that the Administrator
may determine that the ISAR may be exercised subsequent to termination of the Holder’s relationship as a Service Provider without cause, or following a change in control of the Company, or because of the Holder’s retirement, death or
Disability, or otherwise. 
  
 (ii) An ISAR shall entitle the
Holder (or other person entitled to exercise the ISAR pursuant to the Plan) to exercise all or a specified portion of the ISAR (to the extent then exercisable pursuant to its terms) and to receive from the Company an amount determined by multiplying
the difference obtained by subtracting the exercise price per share of 
  

 17 

 the ISAR from the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of the ISAR by the number of
shares of Common Stock with respect to which the ISAR shall have been exercised, subject to any limitations the Administrator may impose. 
  
 (d) Payment and Limitations on Exercise. 
  
 (i) Payment of the amounts determined under Section 9(b)(iii) and 9(c)(ii) above shall be in cash, in Common Stock (based on its Fair Market Value as of
the date the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised) or a combination of both, as determined by the Administrator. To the extent such payment is effected in Common Stock it shall be made subject to satisfaction of all provisions of Section 15.

  
 (ii) Holders of Stock Appreciation Rights may be required to
comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the Administrator. 
  
 11. Non-Transferability of Awards. 
  
 (a) No Award under the Plan may be sold, pledged, assigned hypothecated,
transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, subject to the consent of the Administrator, pursuant to a DRO, unless and until such Award has been exercised, or the Shares underlying such
Award have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such shares have lapsed. 
  
 (b) During the lifetime of the Holder, only he or she may exercise an Award (or any portion thereof) granted to him or her under the Plan, unless it has been disposed of with the consent of the Administrator pursuant
to a DRO. After the death of the Holder, any exercisable portion of an Award may, prior to the time when such portion becomes unexercisable under the Plan or the applicable award Agreement, be exercised by his or her personal representative or by
any person empowered to do so under the deceased Holder’s will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution 
  
 12. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Merger or Asset Sale. 
  
 (a) Subject to Section 12(e), in the event that the Administrator determines that any dividend or other distribution
(whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, liquidation,
dissolution, or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or
other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event, in the Administrator’s sole discretion, affects the Common Stock such that an adjustment is determined by the Administrator to be appropriate in order to

  

 18 

 prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company to be made available under
the Plan or with respect to any Award, then the Administrator shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of: 
  
 (i) the number and kind of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted or awarded (including,
but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 3 on the maximum number and kind of shares which may be issued and adjustments of the maximum number of Shares that may be purchased by any Holder in any calendar year pursuant to Section
5(c)); 
  
 (ii) the number and kind of shares of Common Stock (or
other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards; and 
  
 (iii) the grant or exercise price with respect to any Award. 
  
 (b) Subject to Sections 12(d) and (e), in the event of any transaction or event described in Section 12(a), the Administrator, in its sole discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, either by the terms of the
Award or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event and either automatically or upon the Holder’s request, is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Administrator determines
that such action is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award granted or issued under the Plan or to
facilitate such transaction or event: 
  
 (i) To provide for
either the purchase of any such Award for an amount of cash equal to the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Holder’s rights had such Award been currently exercisable or payable or fully
vested or the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator in its sole discretion; 
  
 (ii) To provide that such Award shall be exercisable as to all shares covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the
provisions of such Award; 
  
 (iii) To provide that such Award be
assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar options, rights or awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof,
with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices; 
  
 (iv) To make adjustments in the number and type of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and/or in the terms and 
  

 19 

 conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding Awards or Awards which
may be granted in the future; and 
  
 (v) To provide that
immediately upon the consummation of such event, such Award shall not be exercisable and shall terminate; provided that for a specified period of time prior to such event, such Award shall be exercisable as to all Shares covered thereby, and
the restrictions imposed under an Award Agreement upon some or all Shares may be terminated. 
  
 (c) Subject to Section 3, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, include such further provisions and limitations in any Award Agreement or certificate, as it may deem equitable and in the best interests of the
Company. 
  
 (d) In the event of a merger or consolidation of the
Company with or into another corporation or any other entity or the exchange of substantially all of the outstanding stock of the Company for shares of another entity or other property in which, after either transaction the prior shareholders of the
Company own less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares of the continuing or surviving entity, or in the event of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, (either event, a “Change of Control”), then
each outstanding Option 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 or a Parent or a Subsidiary of the
successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for each outstanding Option, the Holders shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise each outstanding Option as to all of the Shares covered thereby, including Shares as to which would not
otherwise be vested or exercisable. If an Option becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a Change of Control, the Administrator shall notify all Holders that all outstanding Options shall be fully
exercisable for a period of at least fifteen (15) days prior to the closing of the Change of Control, and any Options that are not exercised within such period shall terminate immediately prior to the Change of Control. For the purposes of this
paragraph, all outstanding Options shall be considered assumed if, following the consummation of the Change of Control, the Option confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Option immediately prior to the consummation
of the Change of Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities property) received in the Change of Control 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 chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change of Control 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, for each Share subject to the Option, to be solely common stock of the successor
corporation or its Parent or Subsidiary equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Change of Control. 
  

 20 

 (e) With respect to Awards which are granted to Section 162(m) Participants and are intended to qualify
as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m)(4)(C), no adjustment or action described in this Section 12 or in any other provision of the Plan shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment or action would cause such Award to fail
to so qualify under Section 162(m)(4)(C), or any successor provisions thereto. No adjustment or action described in this Section 13 or in any other provision of the Plan shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment or action would cause
the Plan to violate Section 422(b)(1) of the Code. Furthermore, no such adjustment or action shall be authorized to the extent such adjustment or action would result in short-swing profits liability under Section 16 or violate the exemptive
conditions of Rule 16b-3 unless the Administrator determines that the Award is not to comply with such exemptive conditions. 
  
 13. Time of Granting Options and Stock Purchase Rights. The date of grant of an Award shall, for all purposes, be the date on which the
Administrator makes the determination granting such Option or Stock Purchase Right, or such other date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination shall be given to each Service Provider to whom an Award is so granted within a
reasonable time after the date of such grant. 
  
 14. 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 Board shall obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Section 422 of the Code or Applicable Laws. 
  
 (c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment alteration,
suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Holder, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Holder and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Holder 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 Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination. 
  
 15. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. 
  
 (a) Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such
Award 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
Award, the Administrator may require the person exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without 
  

 21 

 any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a
representation is required. 
  
 16. Tax Withholding. The
Company shall be entitled to require payment in cash or deduction from other compensation payable to each Holder of any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of any
Award. The Administrator may in its discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement allow such Holder to elect to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable under such Award (or allow the return of shares of
Common Stock) having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be withheld. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock which may be withheld with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or
payment of any Award (or which may be repurchased from the Holder of such Award within six (6) months after such shares of Common Stock were acquired by the Holder from the Company) in order to satisfy the Holder’s federal and state income and
payroll tax liabilities with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of the Award shall be limited to the number of shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or repurchase equal to the aggregate amount of such
liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax income and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income. 
  
 17. Loans. The Administrator may, in its discretion, extend one or more loans to Service Providers in connection with
the exercise or receipt of an Award granted or awarded under the Plan. The terms and conditions of any such loan shall be set by the Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no loan shall be made under this Section to the extent such loan shall
result in an extension or maintenance of credit, an arrangement for the extension of credit, or a renewal of an extension of credit in the form of a personal loan to or for any Director or executive officer of the Company that is prohibited by
Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act or other Applicable Law. In the event that the Administrator determines in its discretion that any loan under this Section may be or will become prohibited by Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act or other Applicable
Law, the Administrator may provide that such loan shall be immediately due and payable in full and may take any other action in connection with such loan as the Administrator determines in its discretion to be necessary or appropriate for the
repayment, cancellation or extinguishment of such loan. 
  
 18.
Section 16. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Plan, and any Award granted or awarded to any individual who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any
applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Plan and
Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule. 
  
 19. 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 
  

 22 

 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. 
  
 20. Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall
be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. 
  
 21.
Shareholder Approval. The Plan shall be subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is adopted. Such shareholder approval shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under
Applicable Laws. In addition, if the Board determines that Awards which may be granted to Section 162(m) Participants should continue to be eligible to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, the Performance
Criteria must be disclosed to and approved by the Company’s stockholders no later than the first stockholder meeting that occurs in the fifth year following the year in which the Company’s stockholders previously approved the Performance
Criteria. 
  
 22. Governing Law. The validity and
enforceability of this Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to otherwise governing principles of conflicts of law.
