 1. Purposes of the Plan. The purposes of this Plan are to attract and
retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to Employees and Consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and to promote the success of the Company’s business. Options
granted under the Plan may be Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options, as determined by the Administrator at the time of grant of an Option and subject to the applicable provisions of Section 422 of the Code and the regulations
promulgated thereunder. Stock Purchase Rights may also be granted under the Plan.

to Section 4 of the Plan.

Exchange Act Rule 13d-3), directly or indirectly, of Company securities representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; 
 (ii) The closing of (i) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company if the holders of Company securities

 3. Stock Subject to the Plan. Subject to the provisions of Section 12 of the Plan, the
maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be subject to option and sold under the Plan is 25,225,517 Shares. The Shares may be authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock. 
 If an Option or Stock Purchase Right expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full or is surrendered pursuant to an option
exchange program, the unpurchased Shares that were subject thereto shall become available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless the Plan has terminated). However, Shares that have actually been issued under the Plan, upon exercise of
either an Option or Stock Purchase Right, shall not be returned to the Plan and shall not become available for future distribution under the Plan, except that if Shares of Restricted Stock or Shares issued upon exercise of an Option are repurchased
by the Company at their original purchase price, and the original purchaser of such Shares did not receive any benefits of ownership of such Shares, such Shares shall become available for future grant under the Plan. For purposes of the preceding
sentence, voting rights shall not be considered a benefit of Share ownership. 
 4. Administration of the Plan. 
 (a) Initial Plan Procedure. Prior to the date, if any, upon which the Company becomes subject to the Exchange Act, the Plan shall
be administered by the Board or a Committee appointed by the Board. 
 (b) Plan Procedure After the Date, if any, upon
Which the Company becomes Subject to the Exchange Act. 
 (i) Multiple Administrative Bodies. If permitted by
Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act (“Rule 16b-3”), the Plan may be administered by different bodies with respect to Directors, Officers, and Employees who are neither Directors nor
Officers. 
 (ii) Administration With Respect to Directors and Officers. With respect to grants of Options and Stock
Purchase Rights to Employees who are also Officers or Directors of the Company, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board if the Board may administer the Plan in compliance with Rule 16b-3 or any successor thereto with respect to a
plan intended to qualify thereunder as a discretionary plan or (B) a Committee designated by the Board to administer the Plan, which Committee shall be constituted in such a manner as to permit the Plan to comply with Rule 16b-3 with
respect to a plan intended to qualify thereunder as a discretionary plan. Once appointed, such Committee shall continue to serve in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board. From time to time the Board may increase the size of
the Committee and appoint additional members thereof, remove members (with or without cause), and appoint new members in substitution therefor, fill vacancies, however caused, and remove all members of the Committee and thereafter directly
administer the Plan, all to the extent permitted by Rule 16b-3 with respect to a plan intended to qualify thereunder as a discretionary plan. 
 (iii) Administration With Respect to Other Employees and Consultants. With respect to grants of Options and Stock Purchase Rights to Employees or Consultants who are neither Directors nor Officers of the
Company, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or 

  

 -4- 

 
(B) a Committee designated by the Board, which committee shall be constituted in such a manner as to satisfy the legal requirements relating to the
administration of incentive stock option plans, if any, of California corporate and securities laws, of the Code, and of any applicable stock exchange (the “Applicable Laws”). Once appointed, such Committee shall continue to serve in its
designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board. From time to time, the Board may increase the size of the Committee and appoint additional members thereof, remove members (with or without cause), and appoint new members in substitution
therefor, fill vacancies, however caused, and remove all members of the Committee and thereafter directly administer the Plan, all to the extent permitted by the Applicable Laws. 
 (c) 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, including the approval, if required, of any stock exchange upon which the Common Stock is listed, the Administrator shall have the authority in its
discretion: 
 (i) to determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock, in accordance with Section 2(m) of the
Plan; 
 (ii) to select the Consultants and Employees to whom Options and Stock Purchase Rights may from time to time be
granted hereunder; 
 (iii) to determine whether and to what extent Options and Stock Purchase Rights or any combination
thereof are granted hereunder; 
 (iv) to determine the number of Shares to be covered by each such award granted hereunder;

 (v) to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan; 
 (vi) to determine the terms and conditions of any award granted hereunder; 
 (vii) to determine whether and under what circumstances an Option may be settled in cash under subSection 9(f) instead of Common
Stock; 
 (viii) 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; 
 (ix) to determine the terms and
restrictions applicable to Stock Purchase Rights and the Restricted Stock purchased by exercising such Stock Purchase Rights; 
 (x) to provide for the early exercise of Options for the purchase of unvested Shares, subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator may determine; and 
 (xi) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and awards granted pursuant to the Plan. 
  

 -5- 

 (d) Effect of Administrator’s Decision. All decisions, determinations and
interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and binding on all Optionees and any other holders of any Options or Stock Purchase Rights. 
 5. Eligibility. 
 (a) Nonstatutory Stock Options and Stock Purchase Rights may be granted to Employees and
Consultants. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. An Employee or Consultant who has been granted an Option or Stock Purchase Right may, if otherwise eligible, be granted additional Options or Stock Purchase Rights. 

(b) Each Option shall be designated in the written option agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option.
However, notwithstanding such designations, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares subject to an Optionee’s Incentive Stock Options granted by the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, that become exercisable for the first
time during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such excess 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 granted. 
 (c) Neither the Plan nor any Option or Stock Purchase Right shall confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to continuation of his
or her employment or consulting relationship with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or the Company’s right to terminate his or her employment or consulting relationship at any time, with or without cause.

 (d) Upon the Company or a successor corporation issuing any class of common equity securities required to be registered
under Section 12 of the Exchange Act or upon the Plan being assumed by a corporation having a class of common equity securities required to be registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, the following limitations shall apply to grants
of Options and Stock Purchase Rights to Employees: 
 (i) No Employee shall be granted, in any fiscal year of the Company,
Options and Stock Purchase Rights to purchase more than 200,000 Shares. 
 (ii) The foregoing limitation shall be adjusted
proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization as described in Section 12. 
 (iii)
If an Option or Stock Purchase Right 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 12), the cancelled Option shall be counted against the limit set
forth in Section 5(d)(i). For this purpose, if the exercise price of an Option is reduced, such reduction will 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 the earlier to occur of its adoption by the Board or its approval by the shareholders of the
Company, as described in 

  

 -6- 

 
Section 18 of the Plan. 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 the term 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 thereof 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 
 (A) 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 per Share exercise price shall be no less than 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 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date
of grant. 
 (ii) In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option 
 (A) granted to a person 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 per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of the grant. 
 (B) granted to any other person, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 85% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of
grant. 
 (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 that (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) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with such other documentation as the Administrator and a broker, if applicable, shall require to effect an
exercise of the Option and delivery to the Company of the sale or loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price, or (6) any combination of the foregoing 

  

 -7- 

 
methods of payment. In making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Administrator shall consider whether 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 at such times and under such
conditions as determined by the Administrator, including performance criteria with respect to the Company and/or the Optionee, and as shall be permissible under the terms of the Plan, but in no case at a rate of less than 20% per year over five
(5) years from the date the Option is granted. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. 
 An Option shall be deemed to
be exercised when written notice of such exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option and full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised
has been received by the Company. Full payment may, as authorized by the Administrator, consist of any consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 8(b) hereof. Until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on
the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the stock certificate evidencing such Shares, no right to vote, receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned
Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such stock certificate promptly upon exercise of the Option. No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date
is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 12 hereof. 
 Exercise of an Option in any manner
shall result in a decrease in the number of Shares which thereafter may be 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 Employment or Consulting Relationship. In the event of termination of an Optionee’s Continuous Status as an
Employee or Consultant (but not in the event of an Optionee’s change of status from Employee to Consultant (in which case an Employee’s Incentive Stock Option shall automatically convert to a Nonstatutory Stock Option on the ninety-first
(91st) day following such change of status) or from Consultant to Employee), such Optionee may, but only within such period of time as is determined by the Administrator, of at least thirty (30) days, with such determination in the
case of an Incentive Stock Option not exceeding three (3) months after the date of such termination (but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), exercise his or her Option to
the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination. To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such termination, or if the Optionee does not exercise such Option to
the extent so entitled within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. 
 (c) Disability of Optionee. In
the event of termination of an Optionee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant as a result of his or her disability, the Optionee 

  

 -8- 

 
may, but only within twelve (12) months from the date of such termination (and in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such Option as
set forth in the Option Agreement), exercise the Option to the extent otherwise entitled to exercise it at the date of such 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. To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if the Optionee does not exercise such Option to the extent so entitled 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. In the event
of the death of an Optionee, the Option may be exercised at any time within twelve (12) months following 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) by the
Optionee’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option on the date of death. If, at the time of death, the Optionee
was not entitled to exercise his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unexercisable portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan. If, after the Optionee’s death, the Optionee’s estate or a person who acquires the
right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance does not exercise the Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. 
 (e) Rule 16b-3. Options granted to persons subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act must comply with
Rule 16b-3 and shall contain such additional conditions or restrictions as may be required thereunder to qualify for the maximum exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to Plan transactions. 
 (f) 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. 
 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 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, which shall in no event exceed thirty
(30) days from the date upon which the Administrator makes the determination to grant the Stock Purchase Right. The offer shall be accepted by execution of a Restricted Stock purchase 

  

 -9- 

 
agreement in the form determined by the Administrator. Shares purchased pursuant to the grant of a Stock Purchase Right shall be referred to herein as
“Restricted Stock.” 
 (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 employment 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. In addition, the provisions of Restricted Stock purchase agreements need not be the same with respect to each purchaser. 
 (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 Change of Control. 
 (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 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 the Optionee at least fifteen (15) days prior to such proposed action. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, the Option or Stock Purchase Right shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

  

 -10- 

 (c) Merger or Change of Control. In the event of a merger of the Company with or
into another corporation or a Change of Control, each outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be assumed or an equivalent option or right shall be substituted by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor
corporation. In the event that the successor corporation or parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation in a merger or Change of Control refuses to assume or substitute the Option or Stock Purchase Right, then the Optionee shall fully vest in
and have the right to exercise the Option or Stock Purchase Right as to all the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which 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 Change of Control, the Administrator shall notify the Optionee in writing or electronically that the Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be fully 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 Change of Control, the Option or 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 merger or Change of Control, the
consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or Change of Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if the holders are offered a choice of
consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares). If such consideration received in the merger or 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 equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or 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 discontinue the
Plan, but no amendment, alteration, suspension or discontinuation shall be made which would impair the rights of any Optionee under any grant theretofore made, without his or her consent. In addition, to the extent necessary and desirable to comply
with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act or with Section 422 of the Code (or any other applicable law or regulation, including the requirements of the NASD or an established stock exchange), the Company shall obtain shareholder approval of
any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required. 
  

 -11- 

 (b) Effect of Amendment or Termination. Any such amendment or termination of the
Plan shall not affect Options or Stock Purchase Rights already granted, and such Options and Stock Purchase Rights shall remain in full force and effect as if this Plan had not been amended or terminated, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the
Optionee and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company. 
 15. Conditions Upon
Issuance of Shares. 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 pursuant thereto shall comply
with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the Rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then
be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. 
 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 by any of the aforementioned relevant provisions of law. 
 16. 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. 
 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. 
 17. Agreements. Options and Stock Purchase Rights shall be evidenced
by written agreements in such form as the Administrator shall approve from time to time. 
 18. Shareholder Approval. Continuance of
the Plan shall be subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted. Such shareholder approval shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under applicable

to key employees whose duties in connection with the Company assure their access to equivalent information.

Plan. In no event may you exercise this Option after the Term/Expiration Date as provided above. 
  

	II.	AGREEMENT 

 1. Grant of Option. The
Plan Administrator of the Company hereby grants to the Optionee named in the Notice of Grant (the “Optionee”), an option (the “Option”) to purchase the number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Grant, at the exercise price per
Share set forth in the Notice of Grant (the “Exercise Price”), and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this
Option Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail. 
 If designated in the Notice of Grant as an Incentive Stock Option
(“ISO”), this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as defined in Section 422 of the Code. Nevertheless, to the extent that it exceeds the $100,000 rule of Code Section 422(d), this Option shall be treated as
a Nonstatutory Stock Option (“NSO”). 
 2. Exercise of Option. This Option shall be exercisable during its term in
accordance with the provisions of Section 9 of the Plan as follows: 
 (a) Right to Exercise. 
 (i) Subject to subsections 2(a)(ii) and 2(a)(iii) below, this Option shall be exercisable cumulatively according to the vesting schedule
set forth in the Notice of Grant. Alternatively, at the election of the Optionee, this option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time as to Shares which have not yet vested (“Unvested Shares”). For purposes of this Stock Option
Agreement, Shares subject to the Option shall vest (“Vested Shares”) based on continued employment of Optionee with the Company. Vested Shares shall not be subject to the Company’s repurchase right (as set forth in the Restricted
Stock Purchase Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit C-1). 
 (ii) As a condition to exercising this Option for
Unvested Shares, the Optionee shall execute the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement. 
 (iii) This Option may not be exercised
for a fraction of a Share. 
 (b) Method of Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable by delivery of an exercise
notice in the form attached as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”) which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, and such other representations
and agreements as may be required by the Company. The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised Shares. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully
executed Exercise Notice accompanied by the aggregate Exercise Price. 
  

 -2- 

 No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless such issuance and such exercise
complies with Applicable Laws. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares shall be considered transferred to the Optionee on the date on which the Option is exercised with respect to such Shares. 
 3. Optionee’s Representations. In the event the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at the time
this Option is exercised, the Optionee shall, if required by the Company, concurrently with the exercise of all or any portion of this Option, deliver to the Company his or her Investment Representation Statement in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit B. 
 4. Lock-Up Period. Optionee hereby agrees that, if so requested by the Company or any representative of the
underwriters (the “Managing Underwriter”) in connection with any registration of the offering of any securities of the Company under the Securities Act, Optionee shall not sell or otherwise transfer any Shares or other securities of the
Company during the 180-day period (or such other period as may be requested in writing by the Managing Underwriter and agreed to in writing by the Company) (the “Market Standoff Period”) following the effective date of a registration
statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act. Such restriction shall apply only to the first registration statement of the Company to become effective under the Securities Act that includes securities to be sold on behalf of the Company
to the public in an underwritten public offering under the Securities Act. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to securities subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of such Market Standoff Period. 

5. Method of Payment. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of
the Optionee: 
 (a) cash; or 
 (b) check. 
 6. [Intentionally Omitted] 
 7. Restrictions on Exercise. This Option may not be exercised until such time as the Plan has been approved by the shareholders of the Company, or
if the issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such shares would constitute a violation of any Applicable Law. 
 8. Non-Transferability of Option. This Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by
Optionee. The terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee. 
 9. Term of Option. This Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option.

  

 -3- 

 10. Tax Consequences. Set forth below is a brief summary as of the date of this Option of some of
the federal tax consequences of exercise of this Option and disposition of the Shares. THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THE OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING THIS
OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES. 
 (a) Exercise of ISO. If this Option qualifies as an ISO, there will be no regular
federal income tax liability upon the exercise of the Option, although the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price will be treated as an adjustment to the alternative minimum tax for
federal tax purposes and may subject the Optionee to the alternative minimum tax in the year of exercise. 
 (b) Exercise
of ISO Following Disability. If the Optionee ceases to be an Employee as a result of a disability that is not a total and permanent disability as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, to the extent permitted on the date of termination,
the Optionee must exercise an ISO within three months of such termination for the ISO to be qualified as an ISO. 
 (c)
Exercise of Nonstatutory Stock Option. There may be a regular federal income tax liability upon the exercise of a Nonstatutory Stock Option. The Optionee will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax
rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price. If Optionee is an Employee or a former Employee, the Company will be required to withhold from Optionee’s compensation
or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount in cash equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise, and may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding
amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise. 
 (d) Disposition of Shares. In the case of an NSO, if Shares are
held for at least one year, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes. In the case of an ISO, if Shares transferred pursuant to the Option are held for at least one year
after exercise and at least two years after the Date of Grant, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will also be treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes. If Shares purchased under an ISO are disposed of within one
year after exercise or two years after the Date of Grant, any gain realized on such disposition will be treated as compensation income (taxable at ordinary income rates) to the extent of the difference between the Exercise Price and the lesser of
(i) the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise, or (ii) the sale price of the Shares. Any additional gain will be taxed as capital gain, short-term depending on the period that the ISO Shares were held. 
 (e) Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. If the Option granted to Optionee herein is an ISO, and if Optionee sells or
otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the later of (i) the date two years after the Date of Grant, or (ii) the date one year after the date of exercise, the Optionee shall immediately notify the
Company in writing of such disposition. Optionee agrees that Optionee may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized by the Optionee. 
  

 -4- 

 (f) Section 83(b) Election for Unvested Shares Purchased Pursuant to Options.
With respect to the exercise of an Option for unvested Shares, an election may be filed by the Optionee with the Internal Revenue Service, within 30 days of the purchase of the Shares, electing pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code to be
taxed currently on any difference between the purchase price of the Shares and their Fair Market Value on the date of purchase. In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, this will result in a recognition of taxable income to the Optionee on the
date of exercise, measured by the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Shares, at the time the Option is exercised over the purchase price for the Shares. Absent such an election, taxable income will be measured and recognized by Optionee
at the time or times on which the Company’s Repurchase Option lapses. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, such an election will result in a recognition of income to the Optionee for alternative minimum tax purposes on the date of
exercise, measured by the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Shares, at the time the option is exercised, over the purchase price for the Shares. Absent such an election, alternative minimum taxable income will be measured and
recognized by Optionee at the time or times on which the Company’s Repurchase Option lapses. Optionee is strongly encouraged to seek the advice of his or her own tax consultants in connection with the purchase of the Shares and the advisability
of filing of the Election under Section 83(b) of the Code. A form of Election under Section 83(b) is attached hereto as Exhibit C-5 for reference. 
 OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS OPTIONEE’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY’S TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF OPTIONEE REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVE TO MAKE
THIS FILING ON OPTIONEE’S BEHALF. 
 11. Entire Agreement; Governing Law. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. The Plan
and this Option Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Optionee with respect to the subject matter
hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Optionee’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and Optionee. This agreement is governed by the internal substantive laws but not the choice of law rules of California.

 12. No Guarantee of Continued Service. OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE
HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS OPTION OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER). OPTIONEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE IN
ANY WAY WITH OPTIONEE’S RIGHT OR THE COMPANY’S RIGHT TO TERMINATE OPTIONEE’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE. 
 Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and represents that he or she is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts this Option subject to all of the terms and 

  

 -5- 

 
provisions thereof. Optionee has reviewed the Plan and this Option in their entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to
executing this Option and fully understands all provisions of the Option. Optionee hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions arising under the Plan or this
Option. Optionee further agrees to notify the Company upon any change in the residence address indicated below.

 EXHIBIT A 
 1997 STOCK OPTION PLAN 
 EXERCISE NOTICE 
 Alien Technology Corporation 
 18410 Butterfield Blvd. 
 Morgan Hill, CA 95037 
 Attention: Secretary 
 1. Exercise of Option. Effective as of today, ___________, 200__, the undersigned «First» «Last»
(“Optionee”) hereby elects to exercise Optionee’s option to purchase _________ shares of the Common Stock (the “Shares”) of Alien Technology Corporation (the “Company”) under and pursuant to the 1997 Stock Plan
(the “Plan”) and the [ ] Incentive [ ] Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement dated «Date_of_Grant» (the “Option Agreement”). 
 2. Delivery of Payment. Purchaser herewith delivers to the Company the full purchase price of the Shares, as set forth in the Option Agreement. 
 3. Representations of Optionee. Optionee acknowledges that Optionee has received, read and understood the Plan and the Option Agreement and agrees
to abide by and be bound by their terms and conditions. 
 4. Rights as Shareholder. Until the issuance of the Shares (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 Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the
exercise of the Option. The Shares shall be issued to the Optionee as soon as practicable after the Option is exercised. No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date of issuance except as
provided in Section 12 of the Plan. 
 5. Company’s Right of First Refusal. The Company is hereby granted the right of first
refusal (the “First Refusal Right”), exercisable in connection with any proposed sale or other transfer of the Shares in which the Optionee has vested. For purposes of this Section 5, the term “transfer” shall include any
assignment, pledge, encumbrance or other disposition for the value of the Shares intended to be made by the Optionee. Nothing in this Section 5 shall be construed to confer upon the Optionee the right to transfer any shares that remain unvested
under Section 4 of this Agreement. 
 (a) Notice of Proposed Transfer. In the event the Optionee desires to accept
a bona fide third-party offer for any or all of the Shares which have vested (the shares subject to such offer to be hereinafter called, solely for the purpose of this Section 5, the “Target Shares”), such offer may be accepted only
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5, and only after the Optionee has promptly (i) delivered to the Secretary of the Company written notice (the “Disposition Notice”) of the offer and the basic terms and conditions
thereof, including the proposed purchase 

 
price and (ii) provided satisfactory proof that the disposition of the Target Shares to the third-party offeror would not be in contravention of the
provisions set forth in this Agreement, and, that such third-party offeror (including any parent company, subsidiary, division, joint venture, or other affiliate thereof) is not engaged in any business or activity (including any announced business
or activity) which directly or indirectly competes with the products or services of the Company, as the Company shall determine in its reasonable discretion. 
 (b) Exercise of Right of First Refusal; Payment. The Company (or its assignees) shall, for a period of thirty (30) days
following receipt of the Disposition Notice, have the right to repurchase not less than all of the Target Shares specified in the Disposition Notice upon substantially the same terms and conditions specified therein. Such right shall be exercisable
by written notice (the “Exercise Notice”) delivered to Optionee prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day exercise period. If such right is exercised with respect to all the Target Shares specified in the Disposition Notice, then
the Company (or its assignees) shall effect the repurchase of the Target Shares, including payment of the purchase price, not more than five (5) business days after the delivery of the Exercise Notice; and at such time Optionee shall deliver to
the Company the certificates representing the Target Shares to be repurchased, each certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer. To the extent any of the Target Shares are at the time held in escrow, the certificates for such shares shall
automatically be released from escrow and surrendered to the Company for cancellation. The Target Shares so purchased shall thereupon be canceled and cease to be issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock. 
 (c) Purchase Price. Should the purchase price specified in the Disposition Notice be payable in property other than cash or
evidences of indebtedness, the Company (or its assignees) shall have the right to pay the purchase price in the form of cash equal in amount to the value of such property. If the Optionee and the Company (or its assignees) cannot agree on such cash
value within ten (10) days after the Company’s receipt of the Disposition Notice, the valuation shall be made by an appraiser of recognized standing selected by the Optionee and the Company (or its assignees), or, if they cannot agree on
an appraiser within twenty (20) days after the Company’s receipt of the Disposition Notice, each shall select an appraiser of recognized standing and the two appraisers shall designate a third appraiser of recognized standing, whose
appraisal shall be determinative of such value. The cost of such appraisal shall be shared equally by the Optionee and the Company. The closing shall then be held on the later of (i) the fifth business day following delivery of the Exercise
Notice or (ii) the 15th day after such cash valuation shall have been made. 
 (d) Optionee’s Right to
Transfer. In the event the Exercise Notice is not given to Optionee within thirty (30) days following the date of the Company’s receipt of the Disposition Notice, Optionee shall have a period of thirty (30) days thereafter, in
which to sell or otherwise dispose of the Target Shares upon terms and conditions (including the purchase price) no more favorable to the third-party purchaser than those specified in the Disposition Notice; provided, however, that any such sale or
disposition must not be effected in contravention of the provisions of this Agreement. To the extent any of the Target Shares are at the time held in escrow under Section 7, the certificates for such shares shall automatically be released from
escrow and surrendered to the Optionee. In the event Optionee does not sell or otherwise dispose of the Target Shares within the specified thirty (30) day period, the Company’s First Refusal Right shall continue 

  

 -2- 

 
to be applicable to any subsequent disposition of the Target Shares by Optionee until such right lapses in accordance with Section 5(f). 
 (e) Effect of Stock Dividend, Stock Split or Recapitalization. In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or
other transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding Common Stock as a class effected without receipt of consideration, then any new, substituted or additional securities or other property which is by reason of such transaction distributed
with respect to the Target Shares shall be immediately subject to the Company’s First Refusal Right hereunder. 
 (f)
Termination of Right of First Refusal. The First Refusal Right under this Section 5 shall lapse and cease to have effect upon the earliest to occur of (i) the first date on which shares of the Company’s Common Stock are held of
record by more than five hundred (500) persons, (ii) a determination is made by the Company’s Board of Directors that a public market exists for the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock or (iii) a firm commitment
underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, covering the offer and sale of the Company’s Common Stock. However, the market stand-off provisions of Section 4 of the Option Agreement
shall continue to remain in full force and effect following the lapse of the First Refusal Right hereunder. 
 6. Tax Consultation.
Optionee understands that Optionee may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of Optionee’s purchase or disposition of the Shares. Optionee represents that Optionee has consulted with any tax consultants Optionee deems advisable in
connection with the purchase or disposition of the Shares and that Optionee is not relying on the Company for any tax advice. 
 7.
Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders. 
 (a) Legends. Optionee understands and agrees that the Company
shall cause the legends set forth below or legends substantially equivalent thereto, to be placed upon any certificate(s) evidencing ownership of the Shares together with any other legends that may be required by the Company or by state or federal
securities laws: 
 THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”) AND MAY
NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR, IN THE OPINION OF COMPANY COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES, SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR
HYPOTHECATION IS IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH. 
 THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND
RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL OPTIONS HELD BY THE ISSUER OR ITS ASSIGNEE(S) AS SET FORTH IN THE EXERCISE NOTICE BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER. SUCH TRANSFER

  

 -3- 

 
RESTRICTIONS AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL ARE BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES. 
 (b) Stop-Transfer Notices. Optionee agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein, the
Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records. 
 (c) Refusal to Transfer. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or
otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so
transferred. 
 8. Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple
assignees, and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth, this Agreement shall be binding upon Optionee and his or her heirs, executors,
administrators, successors and assigns. 
 9. Interpretation. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement shall be
submitted by Optionee or by the Company forthwith to the Administrator which shall review such dispute at its next regular meeting. The resolution of such a dispute by the Administrator shall be final and binding on all parties. 
 10. Governing Law; Severability. This Agreement is governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of California.

 11. Entire Agreement. The Plan and Option Agreement are incorporated herein by reference. This Agreement, the Plan, the Restricted
Stock Purchase Agreement, the Option Agreement and the Investment Representation Statement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements
of the Company and Optionee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Optionee’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and Optionee.

 In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned Optionee represents to the Company
the following: 
 (a) Optionee is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient
information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Optionee is acquiring these Securities for investment for Optionee’s own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection
with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). 
 (b) Optionee acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption there from,
which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Optionee’s investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, Optionee understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the statutory
basis for such exemption may be unavailable if Optionee’s representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or
until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future. Optionee further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently
registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Optionee further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. Optionee understands that the certificate
evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company. 
 (c) Optionee is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit
limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies
under Rule 701 at the time of the grant of the Option to the Optionee, the exercise will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In the event the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of 

 
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, ninety (90) days thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off agreement
may require) the Securities exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by Rule 144, including: (1) the resale being made through a broker in an unsolicited
“broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934); and, in the case of an affiliate, (2) the availability of certain public information
about the Company, (3) the amount of Securities being sold during any three month period not exceeding the limitations specified in Rule 144(e), and (4) the timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable. 
 In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of grant of the Option, then the Securities may be resold in certain
limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144. 
 (d) Optionee further understands that in the event all of the applicable
requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144 and 701
are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701
will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk.
Optionee understands that no assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption will be available in such event.

including for cause, death, and disability, the Company shall have the right and option to purchase from Purchaser, or Purchaser’s personal representative, as the case may be, all of the Purchaser’s Unvested Shares as of the date of such
termination at the price paid by the Purchaser for such Shares (the “Repurchase Option”). 
 (b) Upon the occurrence
of a termination, the Company may exercise its Repurchase Option by delivering personally or by registered mail, to Purchaser (or his transferee or legal representative, as the case may be), within ninety (90) days of the termination, a notice
in writing indicating the Company’s intention to exercise the Repurchase Option and setting forth a date for closing not later than thirty (30) days from the mailing of such notice. The closing shall take place at the Company’s
office. At the closing, the holder of the certificates for the Unvested Shares being transferred shall deliver the stock certificate or certificates evidencing the Unvested Shares, and the Company shall deliver the purchase price therefor.

 (c) At its option, the Company may elect to make payment for the Unvested Shares to a bank selected by the Company. The
Company shall avail itself of this option by a notice 

 
in writing to Purchaser stating the name and address of the bank, date of closing, and waiving the closing at the Company’s office. 
 (d) If the Company does not elect to exercise the Repurchase Option conferred above by giving the requisite notice within ninety
(90) days following the termination, the Repurchase Option shall terminate. 
 (e) The Repurchase Option shall terminate
in accordance with the Vesting Schedule in Optionee’s Option Agreement. 
 2. Transferability of the Shares; Escrow. 

(a) Purchaser hereby authorizes and directs the secretary of the Company, or such other person designated by the Company, to transfer
the Unvested Shares as to which the Repurchase Option has been exercised from Purchaser to the Company. 
 (b) To insure the
availability for delivery of Purchaser’s Unvested Shares upon repurchase by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Option under Section 1, Purchaser hereby appoints the secretary, or any other person designated by the Company as escrow
agent, as its attorney-in-fact to sell, assign and transfer unto the Company, such Unvested Shares, if any, repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Option and shall, upon execution of this Agreement, deliver and deposit with the
secretary of the Company, or such other person designated by the Company, the share certificates representing the Unvested Shares, together with the stock assignment duly endorsed in blank, attached hereto as Exhibit C-2. The Unvested
Shares and stock assignment shall be held by the secretary in escrow, pursuant to the Joint Escrow Instructions of the Company and Purchaser attached as Exhibit C-3 hereto, until the Company exercises its purchase right as provided in
Section 1, until such Unvested Shares are vested, or until such time as this Agreement no longer is in effect. As a further condition to the Company’s obligations under this Agreement, the spouse of the Purchaser, if any, shall execute and
deliver to the Company the Consent of Spouse attached hereto as Exhibit C-4. Upon vesting of the Unvested Shares, the escrow agent shall promptly deliver to the Purchaser the certificate or certificates representing such Shares in the
escrow agent’s possession belonging to the Purchaser, and the escrow agent shall be discharged of all further obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the escrow agent shall nevertheless retain such certificate or certificates as escrow
agent if so required pursuant to other restrictions imposed pursuant to this Agreement. 
 (c) The Company, or its designee,
shall not be liable for any act it may do or omit to do with respect to holding the Shares in escrow and while acting in good faith and in the exercise of its judgment. 
 (d) Transfer or sale of the Shares is subject to restrictions on transfer imposed by any applicable state and federal securities laws. Any
transferee shall hold such Shares subject to all the provisions hereof and the Exercise Notice executed by the Purchaser with respect to any Unvested Shares purchased by Purchaser and shall acknowledge the same by signing a copy of this Agreement.

  

 -2- 

 3. Ownership, Voting Rights, Duties. This Agreement shall not affect in any way the ownership,
voting rights or other rights or duties of Purchaser, except as specifically provided herein. 
 4. Legends. The share certificate
evidencing the Shares issued hereunder shall be endorsed with the following legend (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws): 
 THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS UPON TRANSFER AND RIGHTS OF REPURCHASE AS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE
WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY. 
 5. Adjustment for Stock Split. All references to the number of Shares and the purchase price of
the Shares in this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or other change in the Shares which may be made by the Company after the date of this Agreement. 
 6. Notices. Notices required hereunder shall be given in person or by registered mail to the address of Purchaser shown on the records of the
Company, and to the Company at their respective principal executive offices. 
 7. Survival of Terms. This Agreement shall apply to
and bind Purchaser and the Company and their respective permitted assignees and transferees, heirs, legatees, executors, administrators and legal successors. 
 8. Section 83(b) Election. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that he or she has been informed that, with respect to the exercise of an Option for unvested Shares, an election may be filed by the Purchaser with
the Internal Revenue Service, within 30 days of the purchase of the Shares, electing pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed currently on any difference between the purchase price of the Shares and their Fair Market Value on
the date of purchase. In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, this will result in a recognition of taxable income to the Purchaser on the date of exercise, measured by the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Shares, at the time the
Option is exercised over the purchase price for the Shares. Absent such an election, taxable income will be measured and recognized by Purchaser at the time or times on which the Company’s Repurchase Option lapses. In the case of an Incentive
Stock Option, such an election will result in a recognition of income to the Purchaser for alternative minimum tax purposes on the date of exercise, measured by the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Shares, at the time the option is
exercised, over the purchase price for the Shares. Absent such an election, alternative minimum taxable income will be measured and recognized by Purchaser at the time or times on which the Company’s Repurchase Option lapses. Purchaser is
strongly encouraged to seek the advice of his or her own tax consultants in connection with the purchase of the Shares and the advisability of filing of the Election under Section 83(b) of the Code. A form of Election under Section 83(b)
is attached hereto as Exhibit C-5 for reference. 
  

 -3- 

 PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS PURCHASER’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY’S TO FILE
TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF PURCHASER REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVE TO MAKE THIS FILING ON PURCHASER’S BEHALF. 
 9. Representations. Purchaser has reviewed with his own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser is
relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Purchaser understands that he (and not the Company) shall be responsible for his own tax liability that may arise as a result of this
investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal
substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of California. 
 Purchaser represents that he has read this Agreement and is familiar
with its terms and provisions. Purchaser hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Board upon any questions arising under this Agreement.

Purchaser and you a written notice specifying the number of shares of stock to be purchased, the purchase price, and the time for a closing hereunder at the principal office of the Company. Purchaser and the Company hereby irrevocably authorize and
direct you to close the transaction contemplated by such notice in accordance with the terms of said notice. 
 2. At the closing, you are
directed (a) to date the stock assignments necessary for the transfer in question, (b) to fill in the number of shares being transferred, and (c) to deliver same, together with the certificate evidencing the shares of stock to be

Company’s repurchase option. 
 3. Purchaser irrevocably authorizes the Company to deposit with you any certificates evidencing shares
of stock to be held by you hereunder and any additions and substitutions to said shares as defined in the Agreement. Purchaser does hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint you as Purchaser’s attorney-in-fact and agent for the term of this

Company’s repurchase option has been exercised, you will deliver to Purchaser a certificate or certificates representing so many shares of stock as are not then subject to the Company’s repurchase option. Within 120 days after cessation of
Purchaser’s continuous employment by or services to the Company, or any parent or subsidiary of the Company, you will deliver to Purchaser a certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of shares held or issued pursuant to the
Agreement and not purchased by the Company or its assignees pursuant to exercise of the Company’s repurchase option.

excepting only orders or process of courts of law and are hereby expressly authorized to comply with and obey orders, judgments or decrees of any court. In case you obey or comply with any such order, judgment or decree, you shall not be liable to
any of the parties hereto or to any other person, firm or corporation by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding any such order, judgment or decree being subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside, vacated or found to have been entered
without jurisdiction. 
 9. You shall not be liable in any respect on account of the identity, authorities or rights of the parties executing
or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver the Agreement or any documents or papers deposited or called for hereunder. 
 10. You
shall not be liable for the outlawing of any rights under the Statute of Limitations with respect to these Joint Escrow Instructions or any documents deposited with you.

anyone all or any part of said securities until such disputes shall have been settled either by mutual written agreement of the parties concerned or by a final order, decree or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction after the time for appeal
has expired and no appeal has been perfected, but you shall be under no duty whatsoever to institute or defend any such proceedings.

addressed to each of the other parties thereunto entitled at the following addresses or at such other addresses as a party may designate by ten days’ advance written notice to each of the other parties hereto.
