ARTICLE 4.  
PLAN SHARES
4.1    Shares Subject to the Plan.
(a)    The number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to Awards under the Plan shall be the sum of 3,500,000 shares plus the number of shares of Common Stock remaining available for issuance and not subject to awards granted under the Endologix, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Existing Plan”) as of the Effective Date.  As of the Effective Date, there were 486,760 shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Existing Plan.  Accordingly, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that could be issued pursuant to Awards under the Plan is 3,986,760 shares of Common Stock.  The foregoing shall be subject to adjustment as to the number and kind of shares pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof.  In the event that (a) all or any portion of any Option granted under the Plan can no longer under any circumstances be exercised, (b) any shares of Common Stock subject to an Award Agreement are reacquired by the Company or (c) all or any portion of any Restricted Stock Units granted under the Plan are forfeited or can no longer under any circumstances vest, the shares of Common Stock allocable to the unexercised portion of such Option or the shares so reacquired shall again be available for grant or issuance under the Plan.  The following shares of Common Stock may not again be made available for issuance as awards under the Plan: (x) the gross number of shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights settled in exchange for shares of Common Stock, (y) shares of Common Stock used to pay the Exercise Price related to outstanding Options and shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Company using Option exercise proceeds, or (z) shares of Common Stock used to pay withholding taxes related to outstanding Options, Stock Appreciation Rights or Restricted Stock Units.  For purposes of this Section 4.1, the number of shares of Common Stock available for grant under the Plan shall be reduced by one share of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock granted pursuant to the exercise to an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, and by one-and-six-tenths (1.6) shares of Common 

Stock for each share of Common Stock granted pursuant to a Restricted Stock award, Stock Payment award or Restricted Stock Unit award.
(b)    The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan as Incentive Options shall be 3,986,760 shares, subject to adjustment as to the number and kind of shares pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof.
4.2    Changes in Capital Structure.  In the event that the outstanding shares of Common Stock are hereafter increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of a recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reclassification, stock dividend, or other change in the capital structure of the Company, then appropriate adjustments shall be made by the Administrator to the aggregate number and kind of shares subject to this Plan, the number and kind of shares and the price per share subject to outstanding Award Agreements and the limit on the number of shares under Section 3.3, all in order to preserve, as nearly as practical, but not to increase, the benefits to Participants.
ARTICLE 5.

5.2    Option Agreements.  Each Option granted pursuant to this Plan shall be evidenced by an Option Agreement which shall specify the number of shares subject thereto, vesting provisions relating to such Option, the Exercise Price per share, and whether the Option is an Incentive Option or Nonqualified Option.  As soon as is practical following the grant of an Option, an Option Agreement shall be duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Company to the Optionee to whom such Option was granted.  Each Option Agreement shall be in such form and contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan, as the Administrator shall, from time to time, deem desirable.
5.3    Exercise Price.  The Exercise Price per share of Common Stock covered by each Option shall be determined by the Administrator, subject to the following: (a) the Exercise Price of an Incentive Option shall not be less than 100% of Fair Market Value on the date the Incentive Option is granted, (b) the Exercise Price of a Nonqualified Option shall not be less than 100% of Fair Market Value on the date the Nonqualified Option is granted, and (c) if the person to whom an Incentive Option is granted is a 10% Stockholder on the date of grant, the Exercise Price shall not be less than 110% of Fair Market Value on the date the Incentive Option is granted.
However, an Option may be granted with an exercise price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 424 of the Code.
5.4    Payment of Exercise Price.  Payment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon exercise of an Option and may be made, in the discretion of the Administrator, subject to any legal restrictions, by: (a) cash; (b) check; (c) the surrender 

of shares of Common Stock owned by the Optionee (provided that shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of options granted by the Company must have been held by the Optionee for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the Company’s earnings for financial reporting purposes), which surrendered shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value as of the date of such exercise; (d) the cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to the Optionee; (e) the waiver of compensation due or accrued to the Optionee for services rendered; (f) provided that a public market for the Common Stock exists, a “same day sale” commitment from the Optionee and an NASD Dealer whereby the Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to sell a portion of the shares so purchased to pay for the Exercise Price and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such shares to forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company; (g) provided that a public market for the Common Stock exists, a “margin” commitment from the Optionee and an NASD Dealer whereby the Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to pledge the shares so purchased to the NASD Dealer in a margin account as security for a loan from the NASD Dealer in the amount of the Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such shares to forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company; or (h) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment or any other consideration or method of payment as shall be permitted by applicable law.
5.5    Term and Termination of Options.  The term and provisions for termination of each Option shall be as fixed by the Administrator, but no Option may be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date it is granted.
5.6    Vesting and Exercise of Options.  Each Option shall vest and become exercisable in one or more installments, at such time or times and subject to such conditions, including without limitation the achievement of specified performance goals or objectives established with respect to one or more Performance Criteria, as shall be determined by the Administrator.
5.7    Annual Limit on Incentive Options.  To the extent required for “incentive stock option” treatment under Section 422 of the Code, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Options granted under this Plan and any other plan of the Company or any Affiliated Company become exercisable for the first time by an Optionee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000.
5.8    Nontransferability of Options.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.8, Options shall not be assignable or transferable except by will, the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a DRO entered by a court in settlement of marital property rights, and during the life of the Optionee, Options shall be exercisable only by the Optionee.  At the discretion of the Administrator and in accordance with rules it establishes from time to time, Optionees may be permitted to transfer some or all of their Nonqualified Options to one or more “family members,” which is not a “prohibited transfer for value,” provided that (i) the Optionee (or such Optionee’s estate or representative) shall remain obligated to satisfy all income or other tax withholding obligations associated with the exercise of such Nonqualified Option; (ii) the Optionee shall notify the Company in writing that such transfer has occurred and disclose to the Company the name and address of the “family member” or “family members” and their relationship to the Optionee, and (iii) such transfer shall be effected pursuant to transfer documents in a form approved by the Administrator.  For purposes of the foregoing, the terms “family members” and “prohibited transfer for value” have the meaning ascribed to them in the General Instructions to Form S-8 (or any successor form) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
5.9    Repricing Prohibited.  Subject to Section 4.2 hereof, without the prior approval of the Company’s stockholders, evidenced by a majority of votes cast, the Administrator shall not amend the terms of outstanding Options to reduce the Exercise Price of outstanding Options, cancel outstanding Options in exchange for cash, other awards or Options 

with an Exercise Price that is less than the Exercise Price of the original Options, or otherwise approve any modification to such an Option that would be treated as a “repricing” under the then applicable rules, regulations or listing requirements adopted by the Nasdaq Stock Market.
5.10    Rights as a Stockholder.  An Optionee or permitted transferee of an Option shall have no rights or privileges as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by an Option until such Option has been duly exercised and certificates representing shares purchased upon such exercise have been issued to such person.
5.11    Unvested Shares.  The Administrator shall have the discretion to grant Options which are exercisable for unvested shares of Common Stock.  Should the Optionee cease being an employee, officer or director of the Company while owning such unvested shares, the Company shall have the right to repurchase, at the exercise price paid per share, any or all of those unvested shares.  The terms upon which such repurchase right shall be exercisable (including the period and procedure for exercise and the appropriate vesting schedule for the purchased shares) shall be established by the Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such repurchase right.

Each initial Restricted Stock Unit granted to a newly-elected or appointed Non-Employee Director shall vest, in a series of four (4) successive equal annual installments over the Non-Employee Director’s period of continued service as a director, with the first such installment to vest upon the Non-Employee Director’s completion of one (1) year of service as a Non-Employee Director measured from the Restricted Stock Unit grant date.  Each annual Restricted Stock Unit granted to continuing Non-Employee Directors shall vest, upon the Non-Employee Director’s completion of one (1) year of service as a Non-Employee Director measured from the Restricted Stock Unit grant date.
ARTICLE 8.  
 STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS
8.1    Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights.  A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted to any Participant selected by the Administrator.  Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted on a basis that allows for the exercise of the right by the Participant or that provides for the automatic payment of the right upon a specified date or event.  Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable or payable at such time or times and upon conditions as may be approved by the Administrator, provided that the Administrator may accelerate the exercisability or payment of a Stock Appreciation Right at any time.
8.2    Vesting of Stock Appreciation Rights.  Each Stock Appreciation Right shall vest and become exercisable in one or more installments at such time or times and subject to such conditions, including without limitation the achievement of specified performance goals or objectives established with respect to one or more Performance Criteria, as shall be determined by the Administrator.  A Stock Appreciation Right will be exercisable or payable at such time or times as determined by the Administrator, provided that the maximum term of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be ten (10) years from the date of grant.  The base price of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the base price per share of any Stock Appreciation Right shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of grant.
8.3    Payment of Stock Appreciation Rights.  A Stock Appreciation Right will entitle the holder, upon exercise or other payment of the Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable, to receive an amount determined by multiplying: (i) the excess of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise or payment of the Stock Appreciation Right over the base price of such Stock Appreciation Right, by (ii) the number of shares as to which such Stock Appreciation Right is exercised or paid.  Payment of the amount determined under the foregoing shall be made either in cash or in shares of Common Stock, as determined by the Administrator in its discretion.  If payment is made in shares of Common Stock, such shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise or payment, subject to applicable tax 

withholding requirements and to such conditions, as are set forth in this Plan and the applicable Stock Appreciation Rights Award Agreement.
8.4    Nontransferability of Stock Appreciation Rights.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.4, Stock Appreciation Rights shall not be assignable or transferable except by will, the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a DRO entered by a court in settlement of marital property rights, and during the life of the Stock Appreciation Rights Holder, Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable only by the Stock Appreciation Rights Holder.  At the discretion of the Administrator and in accordance with rules it establishes from time to time, Stock Appreciation Rights Holders may be permitted to transfer some or all of their Stock Appreciation Rights to one or more “family members,” which is not a “prohibited transfer for value,” provided that (i) the Stock Appreciation Rights Holder (or such holder’s estate or representative) shall remain obligated to satisfy all income or other tax withholding obligations associated with the exercise of such Stock Appreciation Right; (ii) the Stock Appreciation Rights Holder shall notify the Company in writing that such transfer has occurred and disclose to the Company the name and address of the “family member” or “family members” and their relationship to the holder, and (iii) such transfer shall be effected pursuant to transfer documents in a form approved by the Administrator.  For purposes of the foregoing, the terms “family members” and “prohibited transfer for value” have the meaning ascribed to them in the General Instructions to Form S-8 (or any successor form) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
ARTICLE 9.  
 STOCK PAYMENT AWARDS
9.1    Grant of Stock Payment Awards.  A Stock Payment award may be granted to any Participant selected by the Administrator.  A Stock Payment award may be granted for past services, in lieu of bonus or other cash compensation, as directors’ compensation or for any other valid purpose as determined by the Administrator.  A Stock Payment award granted to a Participant represents shares of Common Stock that are issued without restrictions on transfer and other incidents of ownership and free of forfeiture conditions, except as otherwise provided in the Plan and the Award Agreement.  The Administrator may, in connection with any Stock Payment award, provide that no payment is required, or require the payment by the Participant of a specified purchase price.
9.2    Rights as Stockholder.  Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Article 9 and the applicable Award Agreement, upon the issuance of the Common Stock under a Stock Payment award the Participant shall have all rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock, including the right to vote the shares and receive all dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect thereto.
ARTICLE 10.  
 ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
10.1    Administrator.  Authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan shall be vested in the Board, which may delegate such responsibilities in whole or in part to a Committee.  Members of the Committee may be appointed from time to time by, and shall serve at the pleasure of, the Board.  The Board may limit the composition of the Committee to those persons necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

10.2    Powers of the Administrator.  In addition to any other powers or authority conferred upon the Administrator elsewhere in the Plan or by law, the Administrator shall have full power and authority: (a) to determine the persons to whom, and the time or times at which, Awards shall be granted, the number of shares to be represented by each Award, and the consideration to be received by the Company upon the exercise and/or vesting of such Awards; (b) to interpret the Plan; (c) to create, amend or rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan; (d) to determine the terms, conditions and restrictions contained in, and the form of, Award Agreements; (e) to determine the identity or capacity of any persons who may be entitled to exercise a Participant’s rights under any Award Agreement under the Plan; (f) to correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award Agreement; (g) to accelerate the vesting of any Award or release or waive any repurchase rights of the Company with respect to Restricted Stock Awards; (h) to extend the expiration date of any Option; (i) to amend outstanding Award Agreements to provide for, among other things, any change or modification which the Administrator could have included in the original Agreement or in furtherance of the powers provided for herein; and (j) to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan, but only to the extent not contrary to the express provisions of the Plan.  Any action, decision, interpretation or determination made in good faith by the Administrator in the exercise of its authority conferred upon it under the Plan shall be final and binding on the Company and all Participants.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Administrator may from time to time delegate to one or more members of the Board or one or more officers of the Company the authority to grant or amend Awards to Participants other than (a) senior executives of the Company who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, (b) Covered Employees, or (c) officers of the Company (or members of the Board) to whom authority to grant or amend Awards has been delegated hereunder.  Any delegation hereunder shall be subject to the restrictions and limits that the Administrator specifies at the time of such delegation, and the Administrator may at any time rescind the authority so delegated or appoint a new delegatee.
10.3    Limitation on Liability.  No employee of the Company or member of the Board or Administrator shall be subject to any liability with respect to duties under the Plan unless the person acts fraudulently or in bad faith.  To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify each member of the Board or Administrator, and any employee of the Company with duties under the Plan, who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of such person’s conduct in the performance of duties under the Plan.
ARTICLE 11.  
CHANGE IN CONTROL
11.1    Impact of Change in Control on Awards Under Plan.  In order to preserve a Participant’s rights in the event of a Change in Control of the Company:
(a)    The Administrator shall have the discretion to provide in each Award Agreement the terms and conditions that relate to (i) vesting of such Award in the event of a Change in Control, and (ii) assumption of such Awards or issuance of comparable securities under an incentive program in the event of a Change in Control.  The aforementioned terms and conditions may vary in each Award Agreement.
(b)    If the terms of an outstanding Option provide for accelerated vesting in the event of a Change in Control, or to the extent that a Option is vested and not yet exercised, the Administrator in its discretion may provide, in 

connection with the Change in Control transaction, for the purchase or exchange of each Option for an amount of cash or other property having a value equal to the difference (or “spread”) between: (x) the value of the cash or other property that the Participant would have received pursuant to the Change in Control transaction in exchange for the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option had the Option been exercised immediately prior to the Change in Control, and (y) the Exercise Price of the Option.
(c)    If the terms of an outstanding Stock Appreciation Right provide for accelerated vesting in the event of a Change in Control, or to the extent that a Stock Appreciation Right is vested and not yet exercised, the Administrator in its discretion may provide, in connection with the Change in Control transaction, for the purchase or exchange of each Stock Appreciation Right for an amount of cash or other property having a value equal to the value of the cash or other property that the Participant would have received pursuant to the Change in Control transaction in exchange for the shares issuable upon exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right had the Stock Appreciation Right been exercised immediately prior to the Change in Control.
(d)    Outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall terminate and cease to be exercisable upon consummation of a Change in Control except to the extent that the Options or Stock Appreciation Rights are assumed by the successor entity (or parent thereof) pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction.
(e)    The Administrator shall cause written notice of a proposed Change in Control transaction to be given to Participants not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the anticipated effective date of the proposed transaction.
ARTICLE 12.  
 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN
12.1    Amendments.  The Board may from time to time alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in such respects as the Board may deem advisable.  No such alteration, amendment, suspension or termination shall be made which shall substantially affect or impair the rights of any Participant under an outstanding Award Agreement without such Participant’s consent.  The Board may alter or amend the Plan to comply with requirements under the Code relating to Incentive Options or other types of options which give Optionees more favorable tax treatment than that applicable to Options granted under this Plan as of the date of its adoption.  Upon any such alteration or amendment, any outstanding Option granted hereunder may, if the Administrator so determines and if permitted by applicable law, be subject to the more favorable tax treatment afforded to an Optionee pursuant to such terms and conditions.
12.2    Plan Termination.  Unless the Plan shall theretofore have been terminated, the Plan shall terminate on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date and no Awards may be granted under the Plan thereafter, but Awards and Award Agreements then outstanding shall continue in effect in accordance with their respective terms.
ARTICLE 13.  
TAX WITHHOLDING
13.1    Tax Withholding.  The Participant shall be responsible for payment of any taxes or similar charges required by law to be withheld from an Award or an amount paid in satisfaction of an Award, which shall be paid by the 

Participant on or prior to the payment or other event that results in taxable income in respect of an Award.  The Award Agreement may specify the manner in which the withholding obligation shall be satisfied with respect to the particular type of Award.
ARTICLE 14.  
MISCELLANEOUS
14.1    Benefits Not Alienable.  Other than as provided above, benefits under the Plan may not be assigned or alienated, whether voluntarily or involuntarily.  Any unauthorized attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect.
14.2    Awards subject to Code Section 409A.  Any Award that constitutes, or provides for, a deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code (a “Section 409A Award”) shall satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable as determined by the Administrator.  The Award Agreement with respect to a Section 409A Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A of the Code.  If any deferral of compensation is to be permitted in connection with a 409A Award, the Administrator shall establish rules and procedures relating to such deferral in a manner intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, including, without limitation, the time when an election to defer may be made, the time period of the deferral and the events that would result in payment of the deferred amount, the interest or other earnings attributable to the deferral and the method of funding, if any, attributable to the deferred amount.
14.3    No Enlargement of Employee Rights.  This Plan is strictly a voluntary undertaking on the part of the Company and shall not be deemed to constitute a contract between the Company and any Participant to be consideration for, or an inducement to, or a condition of, the employment of any Participant.  Nothing contained in the Plan shall be deemed to give the right to any Participant to be retained as an employee of the Company or any Affiliated Company or to interfere with the right of the Company or any Affiliated Company to discharge any Participant at any time.
14.4    Application of Funds.  The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to Option Agreements and Restricted Stock Award Agreements, except as otherwise provided herein, will be used for general corporate purposes.
14.5    Unfunded Plan.  The adoption of the Plan and any reservation of shares of Common Stock or cash amounts by the Company to discharge its obligations hereunder shall not be deemed to create a trust or other funded arrangement.  Except upon the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to an Award, any rights of a Participant under the Plan shall be those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company, and neither a Participant nor the Participant’s permitted transferees or estate shall have any other interest in any assets of the Company by virtue of the Plan.
14.6    Annual Reports.  During the term of this Plan, the Company will furnish to each Participant who does not otherwise receive such materials, copies of all reports, proxy statements and other communications that the Company distributes generally to its stockholders.

ENDOLOGIX, INC.

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT UNDER
2015 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

Type of Option: ________                 

This STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of ________ __, 20__ by and between Endologix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), and __________ (“Optionee”) pursuant to the Company’s 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).  Any capitalized term not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Plan.  
RECITALS:
Optionee is an employee or director of the Company and in connection therewith has rendered services for and on behalf of the Company or any Affiliated Company.
The Company desires to issue Optionee options to purchase shares of the Common Stock of the Company for the consideration set forth herein to provide an incentive for Optionee to remain in the service of the Company and to exert added effort towards its growth and success.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:
1.  GRANT OF OPTION.   The Company hereby grants to Optionee an option (“Option”) to purchase all or any portion of a total of __________ shares (“Shares”) of the Common Stock of the Company at a purchase price of __________ per share (“Exercise Price”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and the provisions of the Plan.  If the “Type of Option” denoted above is “Incentive,” then this Option is intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  If this Option fails in whole or in part to qualify as an incentive stock option, or if the “Type of Option” denoted above is “Nonqualified,” then this Option shall to that extent constitute a nonqualified stock option.
2.  VESTING OF OPTION.  The right to exercise this Option shall vest in installments, and this Option shall be exercisable from time to time in whole or in part as to any vested installment, in accordance with the following vesting schedule:
Shares                 Vest Type               Full Vest               Expiration

[TO BE PROVIDED]

No additional Shares shall vest after, and the portion of the Option related to such additional shares shall terminate upon, the date of termination of Optionee’s “Continuous Service” (as defined in Section 3 below), but this Option shall continue to be exercisable in accordance with Section 3 hereof with respect to that number of shares that have vested as of the date of termination of Optionee’s Continuous Service.

3.   Term of Option.  Optionee’s right to exercise this Option shall terminate upon the first to occur of the following:
(a)  the expiration of ten (10) years from the date of this Agreement;
(b)  the expiration  of  ninety  (90)  days  from  the date of termination of Optionee’s Continuous Service if such termination occurs for any reason other than permanent disability or death; provided,  however,  that if Optionee dies during such ninety-day period the provisions of Section 3(d) below shall apply;
(c)  the expiration of one year from the date of termination of Optionee’s Continuous Service if such termination is due to permanent disability (as defined in Section  22(e)(3) of Code) of Optionee;
(d)  the expiration of one year from the date of termination of Optionee’s Continuous Service if such termination is due to Optionee’s death or if death occurs during the ninety (90) day period following termination of Optionee's Continuous Service pursuant to Section 3(b) above, as the case may be; or
(e)  upon the consummation of a Change in Control, unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 9 below.
As used herein, the term “Continuous Service” means (i) employment by either the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company, or by any successor entity following a Change in Control, which is uninterrupted except for paid vacations or sick days in accordance with Company policy, as applicable, (ii) service as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company until Optionee resigns, is removed from office, or Optionee’s term of office expires and he or she is not reelected, or (iii) service as a Service Provider.  Optionee’s Continuous Service shall not terminate merely because of a change in the capacity in which Optionee renders service to the Company or a corporation or subsidiary corporation described in clause (i) above.  For example, a change in Optionee’s status from an employee to a Non-Employee Director will not constitute an interruption of Optionee’s Continuous Service, provided there is no interruption in Optionee’s performance of such services.
4.  Exercise of Option.  On or after the vesting of any portion of this Option in accordance with Sections 2 or 9 hereof, and until termination of the right to exercise this Option in accordance with Section 3 above, the portion of this Option which has vested may be exercised in whole or in part by Optionee (or, after his or her death, by the person designated in Section 5 below) upon delivery of the following to the Company at its principal executive offices:
(a)  a written notice of exercise which identifies this Agreement and states the number of Shares then being purchased (but no fractional Shares may be purchased) unless the Company has established other procedures;
(b)  a check or cash in the amount of the Exercise Price (or payment of the Exercise Price in such other  form  of lawful consideration  as the Administrator  may approve from time-to-time under the provisions of Section 5.3 of the Plan);
(c)  a check or cash in the amount reasonably requested by the Company to satisfy the Company’s withholding obligations under federal, state or other applicable tax laws with respect to the taxable income, if any, recognized by Optionee in connection with the exercise of this Option (unless the Company and Optionee shall have made other arrangements for deductions or withholding from Optionee’s wages, bonus or other compensation payable to Optionee, or, if permitted by the Administrator in its discretion, by the withholding of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Option or the delivery of Shares owned by Optionee, provided such arrangements satisfy the requirements of applicable tax laws); and
(d)  a letter, if requested by the Company, in such form and substance as the Company may require, setting forth the investment intent of Optionee, or person designated in Section 5 below, as the case may be.

5.  Death of Optionee; No Assignment.  The rights of Optionee under this Agreement may not be assigned or transferred except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee.  Any attempt to sell, pledge, assign, hypothecate, transfer or dispose of this Option in contravention of this Agreement or the Plan shall be void and shall have no effect.  If Optionee’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of his or her death, and provided Optionee’s rights hereunder shall have vested pursuant to Section 2 hereof, Optionee’s legal representative, his or her legatee, or the person who acquired the right to exercise this Option by reason of the death of Optionee (individually, a “Successor”) shall succeed to Optionee’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  After the death of Optionee, only a Successor may exercise this Option.
6.  Representations and Warranties of Optionee.  Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and understands that all rights and obligations connected with this Option are set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan.
7.  Limitation on Company’s Liability for Nonissuance.  The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from any applicable regulatory agency such authority or approval as may be required in order to issue and sell the Shares to Optionee pursuant to this Option.  Inability of the Company to obtain, from any such regulatory agency, authority or approval deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of the Shares hereunder and under the Plan shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the nonissuance or sale of such Shares as to which such requisite authority or approval shall not have been obtained.
8.  Adjustments Upon Changes in Capital Structure.   In the event that the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company are hereafter increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of a recapitalization, stock split, combination of shares, reclassification, stock dividend or other change in the capital structure of the Company, then appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Administrator to the number of Shares subject to the unexercised portion of this Option and to the Exercise Price per share, in order to preserve, as nearly as practical, but not to increase, the benefits of Optionee under this Option, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2 of the Plan.
9.  Change in Control.  
[In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in Section 2.6 of the Plan) of the Company, the right to exercise this Option shall accelerate automatically and vest in full (notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2 above) effective as of immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control.  The Administrator in its discretion may provide, in connection with the Change in Control transaction, for the purchase or exchange of this Option for an amount of cash or other property having a value equal to the difference (or “spread”) between:  (x) the value of the cash or other property that Optionee would have received pursuant to the Change in Control transaction in exchange for the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Option had this Option been exercised immediately prior to the Change in Control, and (y) the aggregate Exercise Price for such Shares.  The Administrator shall cause written notice of the Change in Control transaction to be given to Optionee not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the anticipated effective date of the proposed transaction.]
[In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in Section 2.6 of the Plan) of the Company:
 (a)  The right to exercise this Option shall accelerate automatically and vest in full (notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2 above) effective as of immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control unless this Option is to be assumed by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof) or a new option or New Incentives are to be issued in exchange therefore, as provided in subsection (b) below.  If vesting of this Option  will accelerate pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Administrator in its discretion may provide, in connection with the Change in Control transaction, for the purchase or exchange of this Option for an amount of cash or other property having a value equal to the difference (or “spread”) between:  (x) the value of the cash or other property that Optionee would have received pursuant to the Change in Control transaction in exchange for the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Option had this Option been exercised immediately prior to the Change in Control, and (y) the aggregate Exercise Price for such Shares.  If the vesting of this Option will 

accelerate pursuant to this subsection (a), then the Administrator shall cause written notice of the Change in Control transaction to be given to Optionee not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the anticipated effective date of the proposed transaction.
(b)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the vesting of this Option shall not accelerate  if and to the extent that:  (i) this Option  (including  the unvested  portion thereof) is to be assumed by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof) or a new option of comparable  value is to be issued in exchange therefor pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction, or (ii) this Option (including the unvested portion thereof) is to be replaced by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof) with other incentives of comparable value under a new incentive program (“New Incentives”) containing such terms and provisions as the Administrator in its discretion may consider equitable.  If this Option is assumed, or if a new option of comparable value is issued in exchange therefor, then this Option or the new option shall be appropriately adjusted, concurrently with the Change in Control, to apply to the number and class of securities or other property that Optionee would have received pursuant to the Change in Control transaction in exchange for the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Option had this Option been exercised immediately prior to the Change in Control,  and  appropriate adjustment also shall be made to the Exercise Price such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Option or the new option shall remain the same as nearly as practicable.
(c)  If the provisions of subsection (b) above apply, then this Option, the new option or the New Incentives shall continue to vest in accordance with the provisions of Section  2 hereof and shall continue in effect for the remainder of the term of this Option in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 hereof.  However, in the event of an Involuntary Termination (as defined below) of Optionee’s Continuous Service within twelve (12) months following such Change in Control, then  vesting of this Option, the new option or the New Incentives shall accelerate in full automatically  effective upon such Involuntary Termination.
For purposes of this Section 9, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
(i)  “Cause” shall mean (A) the commission of any act of fraud, embezzlement or  dishonesty by Optionee which materially and adversely affects the business of the Company, the acquiring or successor entity (or parent or any subsidiary thereof), (B) any unauthorized use or disclosure by Optionee of confidential information or trade secrets of the Company, the acquiring or successor entity (or parent or any subsidiary thereof), (C) the continued refusal or omission by Optionee to perform any material duties required of him if such duties are consistent with duties customary for the position held with the Company, the acquiring or successor entity (or parent or any subsidiary thereof), (D) any material act or omission by Optionee involving malfeasance or gross negligence in the performance of  Optionee’s duties to, or material deviation from any of the policies or directives of, the Company or the acquiring or successor entity (or parent or any subsidiary thereof), (E) conduct on the part of Optionee which constitutes the breach of any statutory or common law duty of loyalty to the Company, the acquiring or successor entity (or parent or any subsidiary thereof), or (F) any illegal act by Optionee which materially and adversely affects the business of the Company, the acquiring or successor entity (or parent or any subsidiary thereof), or any felony committed by Optionee, as evidenced by conviction thereof.  The provisions of this Section shall not limit the grounds for the dismissal or discharge of Optionee or any other individual in the service of the Company, the acquiring or successor entity (or parent or any subsidiary thereof).
(ii)  “Involuntary Termination” shall mean the termination of Optionee’s Continuous Service by reason of:
(A)  Optionee’s involuntary dismissal or discharge by the Company, or by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent or any subsidiary thereof employing Optionee) for reasons other than Cause (as defined above), or
(B)  Optionee’s voluntary resignation within thirty (30) days following (x) a change in Optionee’s position with the Company, the acquiring or successor entity (or parent or any subsidiary thereof) which materially reduces Optionee’s duties and responsibilities or the level of management to which Optionee reports, (y) a reduction in Optionee’s level of compensation (including base salary, fringe benefits and target bonus under any performance based bonus or incentive programs)  by more than ten percent (10%), or (z) a 

relocation of Optionee’s principal place of employment by more than thirty (30) miles, provided and only if such change, reduction or relocation is effected without Optionee’s written consent.
In the event that Optionee is a party to an employment agreement or other similar agreement with the Company or any Affiliated Company that defines a termination on account of “Cause” or “Involuntary Termination” (or terms having similar meanings), such definitions shall apply as the definitions of a termination on account of “Cause” or pursuant to an “Involuntary Termination” for purposes hereof, but only to the extent that such definition provides Optionee with greater rights.]
10.  No Employment Contract Created.  Neither the granting of this Option nor the exercise hereof shall be construed as granting to Optionee any right with respect to continuance of employment by, or other service provider relationship with, the Company or any of its subsidiaries.  The right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate at will Optionee’s employment at any time (whether by dismissal, discharge or otherwise), with or without cause, is specifically reserved.
11.  Rights as Stockholder.  Optionee (or transferee of this option by will or by the laws of descent and distribution) shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by this Option until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate or certificates to him or her for such Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of this Option.
12.   “Market Stand-Off” Agreement.  Optionee agrees that, if requested by the Company or the managing underwriter of any proposed public offering of the Company’s securities (including any acquisition transaction where Company securities will be used as all or part of the purchase  price), Optionee will not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Shares held by Optionee  without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriter, as the case may be, during such period of time, not to exceed 180 days following  the effective  date of the registration  statement filed by the Company with respect to such offering, as the Company or the underwriter  may specify.
13.  Interpretation.  This Option is granted pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and shall in all respects be interpreted in accordance therewith.  The Administrator shall interpret and construe this Option and the Plan, and any action, decision, interpretation or determination made in good faith by the Administrator shall be final and binding on the Company and Optionee.  As used in this Agreement, the term “Administrator” shall refer to the committee of the Board of Directors of the Company appointed to administer the Plan, and if no such committee has been appointed, the term Administrator shall mean the Board of Directors.
14.  Notices.  All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given and effective (i) when delivered by hand, (ii) when otherwise delivered against receipt therefor, or (iii) three (3) business days after being mailed if sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested.  Any notice shall be addressed to the parties as follows or at such other address as a party may designate by notice given to the other party in the manner set forth herein:

1.Definitions.  As used herein, the following definitions shall apply:
(a)“Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company.
(b)“Cause” means, with respect to Grantee’s Continuous Service, the termination by the Company of such Continuous Service for any of the following reasons:  (i) the commission of any act of fraud, embezzlement or dishonesty by Grantee which materially and adversely affects the business of the Company, the acquiring or successor entity (or parent or any subsidiary thereof); (ii) any unauthorized use or disclosure by Grantee of confidential information or trade secrets of the Company, the acquiring or successor entity (or parent or any subsidiary thereof); (iii) the continued refusal or omission by Grantee to perform any material duties required of him or her if such duties are consistent with duties customary for the position held with the Company, the acquiring or successor entity (or parent or any subsidiary thereof); (iv) any material act or omission by Grantee involving malfeasance or gross negligence in the performance of Grantee’s duties to, or material deviation from any of the policies or directives of, the Company or the acquiring or successor entity (or parent or any subsidiary thereof); (iv) conduct on the part of Grantee which constitutes the breach of any statutory or common law duty of loyalty to the Company, the acquiring or successor entity (or parent or any subsidiary thereof); or (v) any illegal act by Grantee which materially and adversely affects the business of the Company, the acquiring or successor entity (or parent or any subsidiary thereof), or any felony committed by Grantee, as evidenced by conviction thereof.  The provisions of this Section shall not limit the grounds for the dismissal or discharge of Grantee or any other individual in the service of the Company, the acquiring or successor entity (or parent or any subsidiary thereof).  Subject to Section 5 below, in the event that Grantee is a party to an employment agreement, consulting agreement or other similar agreement with the Company or any Affiliated Company that defines a termination on account of “Cause” (or a term having a similar meaning), such definition shall apply as the definition of a termination on account of “Cause” for purposes hereof, but only to the extent that such definition provides Grantee with greater rights.

For example, a change in Grantee’s status from an employee to a Non-Employee Director will not constitute an interruption of Grantee’s Continuous Service, provided there is no interruption in Grantee’s performance of such services.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any employee of a subsidiary of the Company located outside the United States, such employee’s Continuous Service shall be deemed terminated upon the commencement of such employee’s “garden leave period,” “notice period,” or other similar period where such employee is being compensated by such subsidiary but not actively providing service to such subsidiary.

(i)If the Common Stock is then readily tradable on an Established Securities Market, the Fair Market Value shall be determined by the Board through the application of a valuation method permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(iv)(A); and
(ii)If the Common Stock is not then readily tradable on an Established Securities Market, the Fair Market Value shall be determined by the Board in good faith through the reasonable application of a reasonable valuation method in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(iv)(B), which determination shall be conclusive and binding on all interested parties.
(i)“Good Reason” shall mean a termination of Continuous Service by Grantee within thirty (30) days following the occurrence of any one or more of the following events without Grantee’s written consent:  (i) a change in Grantee’s position with the Company, the acquiring or successor entity (or parent or any subsidiary thereof) which materially reduces Grantee’s duties and responsibilities or the level of management to which Grantee reports; (ii) a reduction in Grantee’s level of compensation by more than ten percent (10%); or (iii) a relocation of Grantee’s principal place of service by more than thirty (30) miles, provided and only if such change, reduction or relocation is effected without Grantee’s written consent.  Subject to Section 5 below, in the event that Grantee is a party to an employment agreement, consulting agreement or other similar agreement with the Company or any Affiliated Company that defines a termination on account of “Good Reason” (or a term having a similar meaning), 

such definition shall apply as the definition of “Good Reason” for purposes hereof, but only to the extent that such definition provides Grantee with greater rights.  A termination by Good Reason shall be communicated by written notice to the Company, and shall be deemed to occur on the date such notice is delivered to the Company, unless the circumstances giving rise to the termination by Good Reason are cured within five (5) days of such notice.

2.Rights of Grantee with Respect to the Restricted Stock Units.
(a)No Stockholder Rights.  Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company until shares of Common Stock are actually issued to and held of record by Grantee.  The rights of Grantee with respect to the Restricted Stock Units shall remain forfeitable at all times prior to the date on which such rights become vested, and the restrictions with respect to the Restricted Stock Units lapse, in accordance with Section 3 below.  
(b)Additional Restricted Stock Units.  As long as Grantee holds Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Award, the Company shall credit to Grantee, on each date that the Company pays a cash dividend to holders of Common Stock generally, an additional number of Restricted Stock Units (“Additional Restricted Stock Units”) equal to the total number of whole Restricted Stock Units and Additional Restricted Stock Units previously credited to Grantee under this Award multiplied by the dollar amount of the cash dividend paid per share of Common Stock by the Company on such date, divided by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on such date.  Any fractional Restricted Stock Unit resulting from such calculation shall be included in the Additional Restricted Stock Units.  A report showing the number of Additional Restricted Stock Units so credited shall be sent to Grantee periodically, as determined by the Company.  The Additional Restricted Stock Units so credited shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Restricted Stock Units to which such Additional Restricted Stock Units relate and the Additional Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited in the event that the Restricted Stock Units with respect to which such Additional Restricted Stock Units were credited are forfeited.
(c)Conversion of Restricted Stock Units; Issuance of Common Stock.  No shares of Common Stock shall be issued to Grantee prior to the date on which the Restricted Stock Units vest, and the restrictions with respect to the Restricted Stock Units lapse, in accordance with Section 3 below.  Neither this Section 2(c) nor any action taken pursuant to or in accordance with this Section 2(c) shall be construed to create a trust of any kind.  As soon as practical after any Restricted Stock Units vest pursuant to Section 3 below, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock, registered in Grantee’s name in payment of such vested whole Restricted Stock Units and any Additional Restricted Stock Units.  Such payment shall be subject to the tax withholding provisions of Section 8, and shall be in complete satisfaction of such vested Restricted Stock Units.  The value of any fractional Restricted Stock Unit shall be paid in cash at the time certificates are delivered to Grantee in payment of the Restricted Stock Units and any Additional Restricted Stock Units.
3.Vesting.  Subject to Section 4 below, the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder shall vest in accordance with the following schedule: [TO BE PROVIDED].
4.Vesting Upon a Change in Control.
[In the event of a Change in Control of the Company, the Restricted Stock Units shall accelerate automatically and vest in full (notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3 above) effective as of immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control.  The Administrator in its discretion may provide, in connection with 

the Change in Control, for the purchase or exchange of the Restricted Stock Units for an amount of cash or other property having a value equal to the value of the cash or other property that Grantee would have received pursuant to the Change in Control had the Restricted Stock Units been fully vested immediately prior to the Change in Control.  The Company shall cause written notice of the Change in Control transaction to be given to Grantee not less than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the anticipated effective date of the proposed transaction.]
[(a)    Notwithstanding Section 3 above, if Grantee holds Restricted Stock Units at the time a Change in Control occurs, the Restricted Stock Units shall accelerate automatically and vest in full (notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3 above) effective as of immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control unless this Award is to be assumed by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof) or new restricted stock units or New Incentives (as defined below) are to be issued in exchange therefor, as provided in Section 4(b) below.  If vesting of the Restricted Stock Units will accelerate pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Administrator (as defined in the Plan) in its discretion may provide, in connection with the Change in Control transaction, for the purchase or exchange of the Restricted Stock Units for an amount of cash or other property having a value equal to the value of the cash or other property that Grantee would have received pursuant to the Change in Control transaction had the Restricted Stock Units been fully vested immediately prior to the Change in Control.  If the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units will accelerate pursuant to this Section 4(a), then the Company shall cause written notice of the Change in Control transaction to be given to Grantee not less than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the anticipated effective date of the proposed transaction.
(b)    Notwithstanding Section 4(a) above, the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units shall not accelerate if and to the extent that:  (i) this Award (including the unvested portion thereof) is to be assumed by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof) or the substitution for this Award of new restricted stock units of comparable value covering shares of a successor corporation (with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares) is to be issued in exchange therefor pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control, or (ii) this Award (including the unvested portion thereof) is to be replaced by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof) with other incentives of comparable value under a new incentive program (“New Incentives”) containing such terms and provisions as the Company in its discretion may consider equitable.  If this Award is assumed, or if new restricted stock units of comparable value are issued in exchange therefor, then this Award or the new restricted stock units shall be appropriately adjusted, concurrently with the Change in Control, to apply to the number and class of securities or other property that Grantee would have received pursuant to the Change in Control had the Restricted Stock Units been fully vested immediately prior to the Change in Control.  The provisions of this Section 4 shall not limit the grounds for the dismissal or discharge of Grantee or any other individual in the service of the Company, the acquiring or successor entity (or parent or any subsidiary thereof).
(c)    If the provisions of Section 4(b) above apply, then this Award, the new restricted stock units or New Incentives shall continue to vest in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 hereof, and shall continue in effect for the remainder of the term of this Award.  However, in the event of an Involuntary Termination of Grantee’s Continuous Service within six (6) months following such Change in Control, the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the new restricted stock units or New Incentives shall accelerate in full automatically effective upon such Involuntary Termination.]
5.Effect of Termination of Continuous Service.  If, prior to vesting of the Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 3 or 4, Grantee ceases to provide Continuous Service for any reason (whether voluntary or involuntary), then Grantee’s rights to any unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be immediately and irrevocably forfeited, including the right to receive any Additional Restricted Stock Units.  
6.Restriction on Transfer.  The Restricted Stock Units and any rights under this Award may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of by Grantee, and any such purported sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition shall be void and unenforceable against the Company.
7.Adjustments to Restricted Stock Units.  In the event that the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company are hereafter increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of a recapitalization, stock split, combination of shares, reclassification, stock dividend, or other change in the capital structure of the Company, then Grantee shall be entitled to new or additional or different shares of stock or securities, in order to preserve, as nearly as practical, but not to increase, the benefits of Grantee under the Award.  Such new, additional or different shares shall be deemed “Common 

Stock” for purposes of this Award and subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof.  Notwithstanding anything in this Award to the contrary (a) any adjustments made pursuant to this Section 7 to Restricted Stock Units that are considered “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the of the Code shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; (b) any adjustments made pursuant to this Section 7 to Restricted Stock Units that are not considered “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be made in such a manner as to ensure that after such adjustment the Restricted Stock Units either (i) continue not to be subject to Section 409A of the Code or (ii) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; and (c) in any event, the Company shall not have the authority to make any adjustments pursuant to this Section 7 to the extent the existence of such authority would cause Restricted Stock Units that are not intended to be subject to Section 409A of the Code at the time of grant to be subject thereto.
8.Income Tax Matters.
(a)In order to comply with all applicable federal or state income tax laws or regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to ensure that all applicable federal or state payroll, withholding, income or other taxes, which are the sole and absolute responsibility of Grantee, are withheld or collected from Grantee.
(b)Upon the vesting of any Restricted Stock Units, Grantee shall deliver to the Company a check or cash in the amount reasonably requested by the Company to satisfy the Company’s withholding obligations under federal, state or other applicable tax laws with respect to the taxable income, if any, recognized by Grantee in connection with the vesting of such Restricted Stock Units (unless the Company and Grantee shall have made other arrangements for deductions or withholding from Grantee’s wages, bonus or other compensation payable to Grantee, or, if permitted by the Administrator in its discretion, by the withholding of a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock in connection with the vesting of such Restricted Stock Units at the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock (determined as of the date of measurement of the amount of income subject to such withholding) or the delivery of a number shares of the Common Stock owned by Grantee, provided such arrangements satisfy the requirements of applicable tax laws).
(c)The Restricted Stock Unit Award evidenced by this Agreement, and the issuance of shares of Common Stock to Grantee in settlement of vested Units, is intended to be taxed under the provisions of Section 83 of the Code, and is not intended to provide and does not provide for the deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A(d) of the Code.  Therefore, the Company intends to report as includible in Grantee’s gross income for any taxable year an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock covered by the Restricted Stock Units that vest (if any) during such taxable year, determined as of the date such units vest.  In furtherance of this intended tax treatment, all vested Units shall be automatically settled and payment to Grantee shall be made as provided in Section 2(c) hereof, but in no event later than March 15th of the year following the calendar year in which such units vest.  Grantee shall have no power to affect the timing of such settlement or payment.  The Company reserves the right to amend this Agreement, without Grantee’s consent, to the extent it reasonably determines from time to time that such amendment is necessary in order to achieve the purposes of this Section.  
9.Compliance with Laws.  The Award and the offer, issuance and delivery of securities under this Agreement are subject to compliance with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations (including but not limited to state and federal securities laws) and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith.  Grantee will, if requested by the Company, provide such assurances and representations to the Company as the Company may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal requirements.  The Company will cause such action to be taken, and such filings to be made, so that the grant hereunder shall comply with the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market or the principal stock exchange on which shares of the Company’s Common Stock are then listed for trading.
10.No Agreement to Employ. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right with respect to continuance of employment by the Company.  The right of the Company to terminate at will Grantee’s employment at any time (whether by dismissal, discharge or otherwise), with or without cause, is specifically reserved, subject to any other written employment agreement to which the Company and Grantee may be a party.
11.Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements and understandings of the parties, either express or implied.
12.Assignment.  Grantee shall have no right, without the prior written consent of the Company, to (i) sell, assign, mortgage, pledge or otherwise transfer any interest or right created hereby, or (ii) delegate his or her 

duties or obligations under this Agreement.  This Agreement is made solely for the benefit of the parties hereto, and no other person, partnership, association or corporation shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement.
13.Severability.  Should any provision or portion of this Agreement be held to be unenforceable or invalid for any reason, the remaining provisions and portions of this Agreement shall be unaffected by such holding.
14.Notices.  All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given and effective (i) when delivered by hand, (ii) when otherwise delivered against receipt therefor, or (iii) three (3) business days after being mailed if sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested.

16.Number and Gender.  Where the context requires, the singular shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and any gender shall include all other genders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, amendments made pursuant to Section 8(c) hereof may be effectuated solely by the Company.
19.Waiver.  Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of a party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence.  No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver.
20.Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement and any party hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart.

ENDOLOGIX, INC.
2006 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN AS AMENDED AND RESTATED
(AS AMENDED, SUBJECT TO STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL, BY RESOLUTION ADOPTED  
BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON MARCH 31, 2015)

		
	1.
	Purpose

The purpose of the Endologix, Inc. 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, As Amended and Restated (the “Plan”) is to provide Eligible Employees with (a) a convenient means to acquire Shares at a discounted purchase price, (b) an incentive for continued employment, and (c) an incentive to increase the value of the Corporation for stockholders. This Plan includes two components: a U.S. Code Section 423 Component (the “423 Component”) and a non-U.S. Code Section 423 Component (the “Non-423 Component”). It is the intention of the Corporation to have the 423 Component qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the U.S. Code. The provisions of the 423 Component, accordingly, shall be construed so as to extend and limit participation in a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis consistent with the requirements of Section 423 of the U.S. Code. In addition, this Plan authorizes the grant of Purchase Rights under the Non-423 Component that does not qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the U.S. Code; such Purchase Rights shall be granted pursuant to rules, procedures or sub-plans adopted by the Committee designed by the Committee to achieve tax, employment, securities law or other purposes and objectives, and to conform the terms of the Plan with the laws and requirements of countries outside of the United States in order to allow Eligible Employees of Designated Subsidiaries in such countries to purchase Shares under the Plan.

	Eligibility and Participation

(a)    Commencement of Participation.  An Eligible Employee shall become a Participant in the Plan and shall participate in an Offering Period by enrolling in the Plan during the Enrollment Period and making an election authorizing the payroll deductions or contributions set forth in Section 5(b) in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee. An Eligible Employee who becomes a Participant pursuant to this Section shall remain a Participant and shall participate in all future Offering Periods until the individual ceases to be a Participant pursuant to Section 4(b).
(b)    Termination of Participation.  An individual shall cease to be a Participant in the Plan upon the first occurrence of any of the following events:
(i) the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Employee (except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 5);
(ii) the Participant withdraws from the Plan pursuant to Section 5; or
(iii) the Plan is terminated.
(c)    Eligibility Restrictions.  Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, no Employee of the Company or a Designated Subsidiary shall be granted a Purchase Right under the Plan or be eligible to participate in the Plan:
(i) if, immediately after the Purchase Right is granted, such Employee would own or be considered to own, five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Corporation or any Subsidiary (for these purposes, the rules of Section 424(d) of the U.S. Code shall apply in determining stock ownership of any Employee); or
(ii) if such Purchase Right would permit such Employee’s rights to purchase Shares under the Plan and any other employee stock purchase plans of the Corporation or any Subsidiary in an amount which, in the aggregate, would exceed US$25,000 (or such other amount as may be adjusted from time to time under applicable provisions of the U.S. Code) in Fair Market Value of Shares (determined at the time such Purchase Right is granted) for each calendar year in which the Purchase Right is outstanding at any time. For purposes of applying the foregoing limitation, the applicable limit shall be determined by multiplying (x) the number of Shares acquired during each 

respective Offering Period by a Participant by (y) the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the first business date of the Offering Period to which such shares relate.
		
	5.
	Offerings

(a)    General.    The acquisition of Shares under the Plan will be implemented through Offering Periods as set forth in this Section 5.
(b)    Contributions to Accounts.    Unless payroll deductions are prohibited by applicable law, each Participant shall make an election during the Enrollment Period to have the Corporation or Designated Subsidiary, as applicable, deduct a specified percentage of the Participant’s Compensation ranging from one percent (1%) to ten percent (10%), on an after-tax basis, each payroll period during the Offering Period, and such amounts shall be credited to the Participant’s Account. A Participant’s election shall remain in effect for all Offering Periods commencing after the Participant makes such election, unless the Participant changes the election, withdraws from the Plan or ceases to be an Eligible Employee pursuant to this Section 5. If applicable law prohibits payroll deductions, the Committee, in its discretion, may permit a Participant to make contributions to the Participant’s Account in another form of contribution acceptable to the Committee, including contributions by direct debit from a Participant’s designated bank account or by check. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its discretion, suspend or reduce a Participant’s payroll deductions or contributions under the Plan as it deems advisable. Except where otherwise required under applicable local law, all Participant contributions may be held in a general account established in the name of the Corporation or the Designated Subsidiary that employs the applicable Participant. Contributions credited to a Participant’s Account that are denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars shall be converted into U.S. Dollars at the prevailing exchange rate (as determined by the Committee) and remitted to the Corporation with such frequency as shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.
(c)    Grant of Purchase Right.    On the first business day of each Offering Period, the Corporation shall grant to each Participant a right to purchase (“Purchase Right”) on the Purchase Date the number of whole Shares that may be purchased at the Purchase Price with the amounts credited to the Participant’s Account on such date, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4(c) and Section 7.
(d)    Changes to Payroll Deductions / Contributions.    During the course of an Offering Period, a Participant will be permitted to reduce (but not increase) the amount of payroll deductions or contributions to the Plan during the Offering Period by filing such form as the Committee shall determine; however, the Participant may not effect more than one (1) such reduction per Offering Period. Before the commencement of any subsequent Offering Period, a Participant may elect to change the amount of payroll deductions or contributions during such Offering Period, subject to the limits set forth in Section 5(b).
(e)    Withdrawal.    A Participant may withdraw from the Plan before any Purchase Date by giving notice of withdrawal in such form and at such time as the Committee shall determine. Upon receipt of a notice of withdrawal, the Participant’s Purchase Right will be cancelled immediately and no further contributions shall be collected. Any amounts credited to a Participant’s Account during the Offering Period in which such withdrawal occurs shall be returned to the Participant as soon as administratively practicable without interest, unless the payment of interest is required by applicable law. A Participant who withdraws from the Plan pursuant to this Section shall be prohibited from participating again in the same Offering Period during which the withdrawal occurred. The Committee may, in its discretion, treat any attempt by the Participant to transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber the Participant’s Account or Purchase Right as a notice of withdrawal. 

After withdrawing from the Plan pursuant to this Section, an Eligible Employee may become a Participant in the Plan with respect to a future Offering Period pursuant to the procedures in Section 4(a).
(f)    Termination of Employment.    Upon the termination of a Participant’s employment for any reason, the Participant’s Purchase Right will be cancelled immediately, and all amounts credited to the Participant’s Account will be returned to the Participant (or the Participant’s heirs or estate (as determined under applicable law) in the event of the Participant’s death) as soon as administratively practicable without interest, unless the payment of interest is required by applicable law.
(g)    Leave of Absence.    If a Participant is on an approved unpaid leave of absence, all amounts credited the Participant’s Account during the Offering Period shall be held for the purchase of Shares on the next Purchase Date. In no event, however, shall any further amounts be collected on the Participant’s behalf during such leave of absence. Upon the Participant’s return to active service, the Participant’s contributions shall automatically resume at the rate in effect at the time the leave began, unless the Participant withdraws from the Plan pursuant to Section 5(e) prior to the Participant’s return. A Participant on a leave of absence who terminates employment shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5(f). For purposes of Participants employed by a Designated Subsidiary incorporated outside of the United States, whether a Participant is on an approved leave of absence shall be determined in accordance with applicable local law.
(h)    Transferability.    Neither any Purchase Rights granted under the Plan nor any amounts credited to a Participant’s Account may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any such attempted assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition of a Purchase Right or amounts credited to a Participant’s Account shall be without effect, except that the Committee may treat such act as an election to withdraw from the Plan in accordance with Section 5(e).
(i)    Participants’ Interests.    Participants will have no interest in, or any rights as a holder of Shares with respect to, Shares subject to a Purchase Right until the Participant’s Purchase Right is exercised pursuant to Section 6(a).
		
	6.
	Exercise of Purchase Rights

(a)    Automatic Exercise.  Unless previously canceled, each Purchase Right then held by a Participant shall be exercised automatically on each Purchase Date to purchase the number of whole Shares that can be purchased at the Purchase Price with the amounts then credited to the Participant’s Account, subject to any limits set forth in the Plan. Fractional Shares cannot be purchased under any Purchase Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the number of Shares that could be purchased under all Purchase Rights outstanding on any Purchase Date exceeds the maximum number of Shares then available for issuance under the Plan, the outstanding Purchase Rights shall be exercised pro rata in as nearly a uniform manner as practicable to purchase the number of Shares then available under the Plan, unless the Committee determines otherwise, and any excess contributions shall be returned to the Participant as soon as administratively practicable without interest, unless the payment of interest is required by applicable law. In any other circumstance, any amounts remaining in a Participant’s Account after the exercise of a Purchase Right will be retained in the Participant’s Account for use during the next Offering Period.
(b)    Tax Withholding.  No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the Participant’s taxable income for federal, state, local or non-U.S. income or employment or other tax purposes with respect to any Purchase Right, such Participant shall pay to the Corporation or Designated Subsidiary, as applicable, or make arrangements 

satisfactory to the Corporation or Designated Subsidiary, as applicable, regarding the payment of, any federal, state, local or non-U.S. taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. The obligations of the Corporation and each Designated Subsidiary under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Corporation and each Designated Subsidiary shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payments otherwise due to the Participant. Further, subject to applicable local law, the Corporation may (i) instruct the administrator/broker to sell such number of Shares purchased by a Participant to raise the amount necessary to satisfy applicable withholding requirements or (ii) withhold whole Shares that otherwise would have been delivered having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the amount necessary to satisfy any withholding obligation. The Committee may establish such procedures as it deems appropriate for the settlement of withholding obligations.
(c)    Delivery of Stock.    As promptly as practicable after each Purchase Date, the Shares acquired upon the exercise of a Participant’s Purchase Right shall be delivered to the Participant or to a custodial or trust account maintained for the benefit of the Participant, as determined by the Committee.
(d)    Conditions for Issuance.    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or agreements made pursuant thereto, the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver Shares under the Plan unless such issuance or delivery complies with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including the requirements of any Applicable Exchange or similar entity, and the Corporation has obtained any consent, approval or permit from any federal, state or foreign governmental authority that the Committee determines to be necessary or advisable.
		
	7.
	Shares

(a)    Maximum Share Issuance under the Plan.  The maximum number of Shares that can be issued under the Plan, subject to any adjustment upon changes in capitalization as provided in Section 7(b), shall be 2,558,734. Such Shares may be authorized but unissued Shares or Shares held by the Corporation as treasury shares. The limitation set forth in this section may be used to satisfy purchases of Shares under either the 423 Component or the Non-423 Component.
(b)    Maximum Number of Shares per Participant. Prior to the commencement of an Offering Period, the Committee may determine the maximum number of Shares that a Participant may purchase during such Offering Period or a formula that complies with the requirements of Section 423 of the U.S. Code by which the maximum number of Shares that a Participant may purchase during such Offering Period shall be computed; provided, however, in no event shall all Participants be permitted to purchase more than (a) 5,000 Shares during any one Offering Period, or (b) 10,000 Shares during any calendar year.
(c)    Adjustment Upon Changes in Capitalization.    In the event of a merger, consolidation, stock rights offering, liquidation, spinoff, separation, Disaffiliation, reorganization or similar event affecting the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, or a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, extraordinary dividend of cash or other property, share combination or recapitalization or similar event affecting the capital structure of the Corporation, the Committee or the Board shall make such equitable and appropriate substitutions or adjustments to (i) the aggregate number and kind of Shares reserved for issuance and delivery under the Plan, (ii) the number and kind of Shares subject to Purchase Rights under the Plan and (iii) the Purchase Price with respect to Purchase Rights under the Plan.
