 EXHIBIT 10.9 
 SERIES 2008-2 TRI-PARTY REMITTANCE 
 PROCESSING AGREEMENT 
 November 17, 2008 
 JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A. (“Processor”), AmeriCredit Financial Services, Inc. (“AmeriCredit”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), agree as follows: 
 1. Servicing Arrangements. AmeriCredit, as Servicer (the “Servicer”), AFS SenSub Corp., as Seller (“Seller”),
AmeriCredit Automobile Receivables Trust 2008-2 (the “Trust”) and the Trustee entered into a Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of November 17, 2008 (as amended, supplemented and otherwise modified from time to time, the
“Sale and Servicing Agreement”), relating to the Receivables (as such term is defined in the Sale and Servicing Agreement), pursuant to which the Receivables were sold, transferred, assigned, or otherwise conveyed to the Trust. The
Sale and Servicing Agreement contemplates the engagement of a processor and includes terms for the opening of the Lockbox Account (as defined herein), and the Indenture contemplates that the Lockbox Account will be assigned and pledged to the Trust
Collateral Agent. The Sale and Servicing Agreement does not include specific terms for the provision of data processing services and deposit of remittance items. Such terms are set forth in this Tri-Party Remittance Processing Agreement (the
“Agreement”). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Sale and Servicing Agreement. 
 2. Remittance Processing Services. In order to provide a means of collection of the Receivables which will allow the Trustee to receive the proceeds of the Receivables and related security without AmeriCredit
or its Affiliates having access to the funds, the parties hereto agree for the benefit of the Trustee that the processing services (the “Service(s)”) of Processor will be used for the collection and the deposit of remittances
related to the Receivables and related security. 
 3. Customer Remittances. 
 (a) Obligors of the Receivables will be directed by AmeriCredit to forward their remittances to Processor at a post office address (the
“Lockbox”) assigned by Processor. Processor, acting for the exclusive benefit of the Trustee, shall have unrestricted and exclusive access to the mail directed to this address. AmeriCredit agrees to notify Processor thirty
(30) days in advance of any change in Obligor remittance statements and/or mailing schedule. 
 (b) Third party money wire transfer
providers, which shall include Western Union Financial Services, Inc. (“ACH Service”) may from time to time electronically deposit funds in the Lockbox Account (as defined herein) on behalf of Obligors and such ACH Service shall be
authorized by Processor to electronically debit the Lockbox Account for the amounts of any return items from Obligors; provided, however, the electronic debit of the Lockbox Account for any return items by all ACH Services may not exceed $100,000 in
the aggregate per day. Processor is authorized to establish such arrangements, on such terms deemed prudent by Processor, with such ACH Service concerning the electronic access to the Lockbox Account. 

 4. Collection of Mail. Processor will collect mail from the post office at regular intervals each
business day, but not less than two times daily. 
 5. Endorsement of Items. Processor will endorse, on behalf of AmeriCredit, checks
and other deposited items that appear to be for deposit to the credit of AmeriCredit or its Affiliates in accordance with Processor’s National Retail Lockbox Processing Agreements and Instructions, Treasury Management Services Agreement,
Commercial Account Agreement or other applicable agreement and related service terms (individually and collectively, the “Bank Agreements”), as appropriate. 
 6. Credit of Funds to Account. 
 (a)
Processor will process the checks and other deposited items and credit the total amount to the account described below (the “Lockbox Account”). The Lockbox Account will be established at Processor (ABA No.: 122100024) as account
number 662633114. Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and during the term of this Agreement, and except as otherwise required by law (e.g., for purposes of attachment, execution and other forms of legal process), all collected funds held in the
Lockbox Account shall be deemed to be the Trustee’s funds, and the Trustee will have exclusive right to control such funds and to make demand upon or otherwise require Processor to make payment of any such funds to any person. In the event a
successor Processor has become Processor, the successor Processor’s notice of the new Lockbox Account pursuant to Section 19 shall amend and replace the Lockbox Account above without the execution or filing of any document or any further
act by any of the parties to this Agreement. 
 (b) Unless otherwise directed by the Trustee, AmeriCredit agrees that all collected funds on
deposit in the Lockbox Account shall be transferred from the Lockbox Account within two Business Days by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the following account: Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Account No. 0001038377 f/b/o
23290901; ABA No. 121000248 (the “Collection Account”). 
 (c) Each party hereto agrees that all funds deposited into
the Lockbox Account will not be subject to deduction, setoff, banker’s lien, or any other similar right in favor of any person, except that Processor or ACH Service may setoff against the Lockbox Account the face amount of any check or other
item deposited in and credited to such Lockbox Account which is subsequently returned for any reason or is otherwise not collected, necessary account adjustments as a result of errors and overdrafts related to return items. If there are insufficient
funds in the Lockbox Account to pay items charged back to the Lockbox Account and AmeriCredit has not remitted payment within 10 days of demand therefor by Processor, the Trustee shall, upon provision of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee, make
payment to Processor for any such amounts from funds in the Collection Account but, only to the extent that such amount was actually received by the Trustee. If there are insufficient funds in the Lockbox Account to pay items charged back to the
Lockbox Account, AmeriCredit shall remit payment within 2 days of demand therefore by Processor. 
 7. Applicable Documentation. This
Agreement supplements, rather than replaces, Processor’s deposit account agreement, terms and conditions, and lockbox agreement and other standard documentation in effect from time to time with respect to the Lockbox, the Lockbox Account or the
services provided in connection therewith (the “Applicable Documentation”), which Applicable Documentation will continue to apply to the Lockbox, the 

  

 2 

 
Lockbox Account and such services, and the respective rights, powers, duties, obligations, liabilities and responsibilities of the parties thereto and
hereto, to the extent not expressly conflicting with the provisions of this Agreement (however, in the event of any such conflict, the provisions of this Agreement shall control). Prior to issuing any instructions, the Trustee shall provide
Processor with such documentation as Processor may reasonably request to establish the identity and authority of the individuals issuing instructions on behalf of the Trustee. The Trustee may request the Processor to provide other services with
respect to the Lockbox and the Lockbox Account; however, if such services are not authorized or otherwise covered under the Applicable Documentation, Processor’s decision to provide any such services shall be made in its sole discretion
(including without limitation being subject to AmeriCredit and/or the Trustee executing such Applicable Documentation or other documentation as Processor may require in connection therewith). 
 8. Processor’s General Duties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement: (i) Processor shall have only the duties and
responsibilities with respect to the matters set forth herein as is expressly set forth in writing herein and shall not be deemed to be an agent, bailee or fiduciary for any party hereto; (ii) Processor shall be fully protected in acting or
refraining from acting in good faith without investigation on any notice, instruction or request purportedly furnished to it by AmeriCredit or the Trustee in accordance with the terms hereof, in which case the parties hereto agree that Processor has
no duty to make any further inquiry whatsoever; (iii) it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that Processor has no knowledge of (and is not required to know) the terms and provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement referred to in
Section 1 above or any other related documentation or whether any actions by the Trustee, AmeriCredit or any other person or entity are permitted or a breach thereunder or consistent or inconsistent therewith; and (iv) Processor shall not
be liable to any party hereto or any other person for any action or failure to act under or in connection with this Agreement except to the extent such conduct constitutes its own willful misconduct or gross negligence. 
 9. Processing of Items. The provision of services shall be governed by the Bank Agreements, as may be amended from time to time, subject to the
prior written consent to any such amendments of a material nature by the Trustee and AmeriCredit, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 
 10. Trust Correspondence. Any envelopes collected from the Lockbox which contain correspondence and other documents (including, but not limited
to, certificates of title, tax receipts, insurance policy endorsements and any other documents or communications of or relating to the Receivables) will be sent to the Servicer at its current address. Any enclosed payment(s), coupon(s) or check(s)
will be processed and deposited by Processor in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement. 
 11. Confidentiality. Processor
agrees that all information concerning the Obligors of the Receivables which comes into Processor’s possession pursuant to this Agreement, other than that which is already known by Processor or to the general public, will be treated in a
confidential manner. 
 12. Fees. Unless otherwise agreed by Processor, AmeriCredit shall pay Processor the fees set forth for this
Service in Processor’s most current Price List as in effect from time to time, plus additional fees for the performance of services beyond the terms of this 

  

 3 

 
Agreement, or resulting from increased expenses incurred by the failure of AmeriCredit to furnish within a reasonable period of time following a request by
Processor, data in a form acceptable to Processor. Processor shall look first to AmeriCredit for payment of such fees. If AmeriCredit fails to pay Processor within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoice but in any event no later than forty-five
(45) days from the date of the invoice, Processor will notify the Trustee in writing as soon as practicable and provide to the Trustee a copy of such unpaid invoice. Subject to rights to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 17,
Processor will continue to perform its services under this Agreement and the amount reflected in such invoice will be paid to Processor by the Trustee out of funds in the Collection Account on the next Distribution Date (as defined below), which
follows by at least three Business Days the date of giving such notice to the Trustee. Any fees unpaid after such date will be considered unpaid fees. “Distribution Date” means the sixth day of the following calendar month, or, if such day
is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day. 
 13. Processor’s Liability for Nonperformance. In performing the
Services, Processor will exercise ordinary care and act in good faith. Processor shall be deemed to have exercised ordinary care if its action or failure to act is in conformity with general banking usages or is otherwise a commercially reasonable
practice of the banking industry. Processor’s liability relating to its or its employees’, officers’ or agents’ performance or failure to perform hereunder, or for any other action or inaction of Processor, or its employees,
officers or agents, shall be limited exclusively to the lesser of (i) any direct losses which are caused by the failure of Processor, its employees, officers or agents to exercise reasonable care and/or act in good faith, and (ii) the face
amount of any item, check, payment or other funds lost or mishandled by the action or inaction of Processor. Under no circumstances will Processor be liable for any general, indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential damages or for
damages caused, in whole or in part, by the action or inaction of AmeriCredit or the Trustee, whether or not such action or inaction constitutes negligence. Processor will not be liable for any damage, loss, liability or delay caused by accidents,
strikes, fire, flood, war, riot, equipment breakdown, electrical or mechanical failure, acts of God or any cause which is reasonably unavoidable or beyond its reasonable control. AmeriCredit agrees that the fees charged by Processor for the
performance of this Service shall be deemed to have been established in contemplation of these limitations on Processor’s liability. In addition, AmeriCredit agrees to indemnify and hold Processor harmless from all liability on the part of
Processor under this Section 13 except such liability as is attributable to the gross negligence of Processor. 
 14. Indemnification
by AmeriCredit. AmeriCredit agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Processor harmless from and against any and all damage, loss, cost, expense or liability of any kind, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court
costs, which results, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from any negligence and willful misconduct or infidelity of AmeriCredit or any agent or employee of AmeriCredit, incurred in connection with this Agreement, Lockbox or the Lockbox
Account or any interpleader proceeding relating thereto or from Processor acting upon information furnished by AmeriCredit under this Agreement. AmeriCredit will remain liable for all indemnification under this Section 14 after its removal
and/or resignation as Servicer. 
 15. Other Agreements. Processor shall not be bound by any agreement between any of the other
parties hereto irrespective of whether Processor has knowledge of the existence of any such agreement or the terms and provisions thereof. 
  

 4 

 16. Records. This Agreement and the performance by Processor of the Services hereunder shall not
relieve Processor of any obligation imposed by law or contract regarding the maintenance of records. 
 17. Amendment and Termination.
This Agreement may only be amended in writing signed by all parties to this Agreement. AmeriCredit or Trustee may immediately terminate this Agreement for cause, provided, however, that a similar agreement has been executed with a successor
processor reasonably acceptable to the Trustee or the Trustee has consented to such termination. The Trustee may immediately terminate this Agreement and shall do so upon written notice to the other parties hereto. Otherwise, any party may terminate
this Agreement on sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the others; provided, however, that AmeriCredit shall promptly notify the Trustee of receipt of any such notice and shall arrange for alternative lockbox processing services
satisfactory to the Trustee prior to the termination of the Services. 
 18. Successor Servicer. Each of Processor and the Trustee
agrees that if the Servicer has been terminated or resigns as Servicer, this Agreement shall not thereupon terminate and the successor servicer appointed pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall succeed, except as otherwise provided
herein, to all rights, benefits, duties and obligations of the Servicer hereunder. Prior to the termination or resignation of the Trustee or the Servicer, the Trustee or the Servicer, respectively, shall provide notice to Processor in accordance
with the terms and conditions to which each of the Trustee or the Servicer, respectively, is itself entitled upon termination or resignation. 
 19. Successor Processor. Any company or national banking association into which Processor may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any company or national banking association resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which it shall be a party or any company or national association to which Processor may sell or transfer all or substantially all of its business (provided any such company or national banking association shall be a
company organized under the laws of any state of the United States or a national banking association and shall be eligible to perform all of the duties imposed upon it by this Agreement) shall be the successor to Processor hereunder without the
execution or filing of any document or any further act by any of the parties to this Agreement; provided, however, that Processor notify the Trustee and AmeriCredit of any such merger, conversion or consolidation within 30 days of its occurrence. If
such successor requires the establishment of a new account, then the successor Processor shall as soon as practicable after the occurrence of any such merger, conversion or consolidation (i) establish the new Lockbox Account and (ii) send
written notice to the Trustee and AmeriCredit with respect to the new Lockbox Account number. 
 20. Governing Law. This Agreement
shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas. All parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding relating to the Lockbox, Lockbox Account or this Agreement. 
 21. Notices. All written notices required by this Agreement shall be delivered or mailed to the other parties at the addresses set forth below or
to such other address as a party may specify in writing.

 [Series 2008-2 Tri-Party Remittance Processing Agreement]Stock Option Exercise Notice & Restricted Stock Purchase Agrmt - Chiu-Chu Liang

 Exhibit 10.31 
 SUPER MICRO COMPUTER, INC. 
 STOCK OPTION EXERCISE NOTICE 
 AND 
 RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE
AGREEMENT 
 This Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of November 26, 2008 (the “Purchase Date”),
by and between Super Micro Computer, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Chiu-Chu Liang (“Purchaser”). 
 1. Exercise of Option. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Purchaser hereby exercises his or her option to purchase 185,263 shares of the Common Stock (the “Shares”) of the
Company granted to Purchaser on December 9, 1998 [GRANT DATE] (the “Option”) and evidenced by the Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement entered into between the Company and Purchaser on December 9, 1998 [OPTION
AGREEMENT DATE] (the “Option Agreement”). The Option exercise price is $0.075 per Share (the “Per Share Exercise Price”), and the total purchase price for the Shares is $13,894.73 (the “Purchase
Price”). As subsequently used in this Agreement, the term “Shares” refers to the purchased Shares and all securities received in addition to or in replacement of the Shares pursuant to stock dividends or stock splits, all
securities received in replacement of the Shares in a merger, consolidation, reorganization, reincorporation, recapitalization, reclassification or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, and all new, substituted or additional
securities or other property to which Purchaser becomes entitled by reason of Purchaser’s ownership of the Shares. 
 2. Time,
Place and Method of Exercise. The purchase and sale of the Shares under this Agreement shall occur at the principal office of the Company simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement on the Purchase Date, accompanied by
an Assignment Separate from Certificate duly endorsed (with the date and number of shares blank) in the form attached to this Agreement. Payment of the Purchase Price shall be effected by means of a “net exercise” procedure, pursuant to
which (a) the Company shall reduce the number of Shares otherwise issuable to Purchaser upon the exercise of the Option by the largest whole number of Shares having a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the Purchase Price, and
(b) Purchaser shall pay to the Company in cash the remaining balance of the Purchase Price not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole Shares to be issued. For this purpose, the “Fair Market Value” of Shares shall be
determined by the closing price of a share of Common Stock of the Company on the Purchase Date as reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market. On the Purchase Date, the Company will issue to Purchaser a certificate representing the net number of Shares
remaining following such reduction (the “Net Shares”), which shall be determined in accordance with the following formula: 
 N = X(A-B)/A, where 

 “N” = the number of Net Shares to be issued to Purchaser upon exercise of the
Option (rounded down to the nearest whole number); 
 “X” = the total number of Shares with respect to which
Purchaser has elected to exercise the Option; 
 “A” = the Fair Market Value of one (1) share of the Common
Stock of the Company determined on the Purchase Date; and 
 “B” = the Per Share Exercise Price, as set forth
above. 
 Following such net exercise procedure, the number of Shares remaining subject to the Option, if any, shall be reduced by the sum of
(i) the number of Net Shares issued to Purchaser and (ii) the number of Shares deducted by the Company for payment of the Purchase Price. 
 3. Vesting of Net Shares. 
 (a) Normal Vesting. Except as provided by Section 3(b), Purchaser
hereby acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything contained in the Option Agreement to the contrary, the Net Shares acquired by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement shall initially be entirely unvested and subject to both the Unvested
Share Reacquisition Right described in Section 4 and the restrictions on the transfer of Shares described in Section 5. The Net Shares shall become Vested Shares as follows: 
 Except as otherwise provided by this Agreement, provided that Purchaser’s Service has not terminated prior to the applicable Vesting Date, half
(1/2) of the total number of Net Shares shall become Vested Shares on the first trading day of each of the first two (2) calendar years commencing after the Purchase Date (each of which shall be a “Vesting Date”).

 For purposes of determining the number of Vested Shares following an Ownership Change Event, credited Service shall include all Service with any business
entity which is a member of the Company Group at the time the Service is rendered, whether or not such business entity is a member of the Company Group both before and after the Ownership Change Event. 
 (b) Acceleration of Vesting upon Certain Events. Subject to Section 3(c), in the event of (i) the Involuntary Termination of
Purchaser or (ii) the consummation of a Change in Control (provided that Purchaser’s Service has not terminated prior to such Change in Control), the vesting of the Net Shares shall be accelerated in full, such that the total number of Net
Shares which have not previously become Vested Shares shall be deemed Vested Shares effective as of the date of Purchaser’s Involuntary Termination or immediately prior to the effective time of the Change in Control, as the case may be.

 (c) Federal Excise Tax Under Section 4999 of the Code. 
 (i) Excess Parachute Payment. In the event that any acceleration of vesting pursuant to this Agreement and any other payment or benefit
received or to be received by Purchaser would subject Purchaser to any excise tax pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code due 

  

 -2- 

 
to the characterization of such acceleration of vesting, payment or benefit as an excess parachute payment under Section 280G of the Code, the amount of
any acceleration of vesting called for under this Agreement, together with such other payments and benefits, shall not exceed the amount which results in the greatest after-tax benefit to Purchaser. 
 (ii) Determination by Independent Accountants. Upon the occurrence of any event that might reasonably be anticipated to give rise to the
acceleration of vesting under Section 3(b) (an “Event”) and a resulting excise tax pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, the Company shall promptly request a determination in writing by independent public accountants
selected by the Company (the “Accountants”) of the amount of such acceleration of vesting, if any, that would result in the greatest after-tax benefit to Purchaser. Unless the Company and Purchaser otherwise agree in writing, the
Accountants shall determine and report to the Company and Purchaser no later than ten (10) business days following the date of the Event the amount of such acceleration of vesting, which, taking into account the other payments and benefits to
which Purchaser is entitled, would produce the greatest after-tax benefit to Purchaser. The Company shall promptly cause that portion, if any, of the acceleration of vesting under Section 3(b) which exceeds the amount producing the greatest
after-tax benefit to Purchaser to be rescinded and to be void ab initio. For the purposes of such determination, the Accountants may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of
the Code. The Company and Purchaser shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make their required determination. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses the Accountants
may reasonably charge in connection with their services contemplated by this Section 3(c)(ii). 
 4. Unvested Share Reacquisition
Right. 
 (a) Grant of Unvested Share Reacquisition Right. In the event that (a) Purchaser’s Service is
terminated, or, (b) Purchaser, Purchaser’s legal representative, or other holder of shares acquired pursuant to this Agreement, attempts to sell, exchange, transfer, pledge, or otherwise dispose of (other than pursuant to an Ownership
Change Event) any shares which are not Vested Shares (“Unvested Shares”), the Company shall automatically reacquire the Unvested Shares, and Purchaser shall not be entitled to any payment therefor (the “Unvested Share
Reacquisition Right”). 
 (b) Ownership Change Event, Dividends, Distributions and Adjustments.
Upon the occurrence of an Ownership Change Event, a dividend or distribution to the stockholders of the Company paid in shares of Common Stock or other property, or any other adjustment upon a change in the capital structure of the Company, any and
all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than regular, periodic dividends paid on Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s dividend policy) to which Purchaser is entitled by reason of Purchaser’s ownership of
Unvested Shares shall be immediately subject to the Unvested Share Reacquisition Right and included in the terms “Shares” and “Unvested Shares” for all purposes of the Unvested Share Reacquisition Right with the same force and
effect as the Unvested Shares immediately prior to the Ownership Change Event, dividend, distribution or adjustment, as the case may be. 
  

 -3- 

 5. Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. No Shares may be sold, exchanged, transferred,
assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, including by operation of law, in any manner which violates any of the provisions of this Agreement and, except pursuant to an Ownership Change Event, until the date on which such shares
become Vested Shares, and any such attempted disposition shall be void. The Company shall not be required (a) to transfer on its books any Shares which will have been transferred in violation of any of the provisions set forth in this Agreement
or (b) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote as such owner or to pay dividends to any transferee to whom such Shares will have been so transferred. In order to enforce its rights under this Section, the Company shall
be authorized to give a stop transfer instruction with respect to the Shares to the Company’s transfer agent. 
 6.
Escrow. 
 (a) Appointment of Agent. To ensure that Shares subject to the Unvested Share Reacquisition Right will
be available for reacquisition, Purchaser and the Company hereby appoint the Secretary of the Company, or any other person designated by the Company, as their agent and as attorney-in-fact for Purchaser (the “Agent”) to hold any and
all Unvested Shares and to sell, assign and transfer to the Company any such Unvested Shares reacquired by the Company pursuant to the Unvested Share Reacquisition Right. Purchaser understands that appointment of the Agent is a material inducement
to make this Agreement and that such appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. The Agent shall not be personally liable for any act the Agent may do or omit to do hereunder as escrow agent, agent for the Company, or attorney in
fact for Purchaser while acting in good faith and in the exercise of the Agent’s own good judgment, and any act done or omitted by the Agent pursuant to the advice of the Agent’s own attorneys shall be conclusive evidence of such good
faith. The Agent may rely upon any letter, notice or other document executed by any signature purporting to be genuine and may resign at any time. 
 (b) Establishment of Escrow. Purchaser authorizes the Company to deposit the Unvested Shares with the Company’s transfer agent to be held in book entry form, and Purchaser agrees to deliver to and
deposit with the Agent each certificate, if any, evidencing the Shares and an Assignment Separate from Certificate with respect to such book entry shares and each such certificate duly endorsed (with date and number of Shares blank) in the form
attached to this Agreement, to be held by the Agent under the terms and conditions of this Section 6 (the “Escrow”). Upon the occurrence of an Ownership Change Event, a dividend or distribution to the stockholders of the
Company paid in shares of Common Stock or other property (other than regular, periodic dividends paid on Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s dividend policy), or any other adjustment upon a change in the capital structure of the Company in
the character or amount of any outstanding stock of the corporation the stock of which is subject to the provisions of this Agreement, any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property to which Purchaser is entitled by reason
of his or her ownership of the Shares that remain, following such Ownership Change Event, dividend, distribution or change in capital structure, subject to the Unvested Share Reacquisition Right shall be immediately subject to the Escrow to the same
extent as the Shares immediately before such event. The Company shall bear the expenses of the Escrow. 
  

 -4- 

 (c) Delivery of Shares to Participant. The Escrow shall continue with
respect to any Shares for so long as such Shares remain subject to the Unvested Share Reacquisition Right. Upon termination of the Unvested Share Reacquisition Right with respect to Shares, the Company shall so notify the Agent and direct the Agent
to deliver such number of Shares to Purchaser. As soon as practicable after receipt of such notice, the Agent shall cause to be delivered to Purchaser the Shares specified by such notice, and the Escrow shall terminate with respect to such Shares.

 7. Tax Matters. 
 (a) Tax Withholding. 
 (i) In General. At the time this Agreement is executed, or at any time
thereafter as requested by the Company, Purchaser hereby authorizes withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to Purchaser, and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision for, any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and
foreign tax (including any social insurance) withholding obligations of the Company Group, if any, which arise in connection with the Shares, including, without limitation, obligations arising upon (a) the transfer of Shares to Purchaser,
(b) the lapsing of any restriction with respect to any Shares, or (c) the transfer by Purchaser of any Shares. The Company shall have no obligation to deliver the Shares or to release any Shares from the Escrow established pursuant to
Section 6 until the tax withholding obligations of the Company Group have been satisfied by Purchaser. 
 (ii) Assignment of Sale
Proceeds; Payment of Tax Withholding by Check. Subject to compliance with applicable law and the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, the Company shall permit Purchaser to satisfy the Company Group’s tax withholding obligations in
accordance with procedures established by the Company providing for either (i) delivery by Purchaser to the Company or a broker approved by the Company of properly executed instructions, in a form approved by the Company, providing for the
assignment to the Company of the proceeds of a sale with respect to some or all of the Vested Shares, or (ii) payment by Purchaser’s check. Purchaser shall deliver written notice of any such election to the Company on a form specified by
the Company for this purpose at least thirty (30) days (or such other period established by the Company) prior to the date on which the Company’s tax withholding obligation arises (the “Withholding Date”). If Purchaser
elects payment by check, Purchaser agrees to deliver a check for the full amount of the required tax withholding to the applicable member of the Company Group on or before the third business day following the Withholding Date. If Purchaser elects
payment by check but fails to make such payment as required by the preceding sentence, the Company is hereby authorized, at its discretion, to satisfy the tax withholding obligations through any means authorized by this Section 7(a), including
by directing a sale for the account of Purchaser of some or all of the Vested Shares from which the required taxes shall be withheld, by withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to Purchaser or by withholding shares in accordance with
Section 7(a)(iii). 
 (iii) Withholding in Shares. The Company may require Purchaser to satisfy all or any portion of the
Company Group’s tax withholding obligations by deducting a number of whole, Vested Shares otherwise deliverable to Purchaser or by Purchaser’s tender to 

  

 -5- 

 
the Company of a number of whole, Vested Shares or vested shares acquired otherwise than pursuant to this Agreement having, in any such case, a fair market
value, as determined by the Company as of the date on which the tax withholding obligations arise, not in excess of the amount of such tax withholding obligations determined by the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates. 
 (b) Section 83(b) of the Code. 
 (i) Application of Section 83(b). Purchaser understands that Section 83 of the Code taxes as ordinary income the difference between the amount paid for the Shares, if anything, and the fair market value of the Shares
as of the date on which the Shares are “substantially vested,” within the meaning of Section 83 of the Code. In this context, “substantially vested” means that the right of the Company to reacquire the Shares pursuant to the
Unvested Share Reacquisition Right has lapsed. Purchaser understands that Section 83(b) of the Code provides for an election by which Purchaser may have his or her taxable income determined at the time he or she acquires the Shares rather than
when and as the Unvested Share Reacquisition Right lapses by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service no later than thirty (30) days after the date of acquisition of the Shares. Purchaser
understands that by not making a timely filing under Section 83(b), Purchaser will recognize ordinary income as the Unvested Share Reacquisition Right lapses on the difference between the purchase price, if anything, and the fair market value
of the Shares at the time such restrictions lapse. Purchaser further understands, however, that if Shares with respect to which an election under Section 83(b) has been made are forfeited to the Company pursuant to its Unvested Share
Reacquisition Right, such forfeiture would be treated as a sale on which there is realized a loss equal to the excess (if any) of the amount paid (if any) by Purchaser for the forfeited Shares over the amount realized (if any) upon their forfeiture.
If Purchaser had paid nothing for the forfeited Shares and received no payment upon their forfeiture, Purchaser understands that he or she would be unable to recognize any loss on the forfeiture of the Shares even though Purchaser incurred a tax
liability by making an election under Section 83(b). 
 (ii) Waiver of Right to Make Election under Section 83(b).
Purchaser hereby waives any and all right Purchaser otherwise would have to make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to Shares acquired by Purchaser subject to the Unvested Share Reacquisition Right. Purchaser
understands that he or she should consult with his or her tax advisor regarding the effect of this waiver of the right to file with the Internal Revenue Service an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to such Shares.

 8. Rights as a Stockholder. Purchaser shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares until the date of the
issuance of a certificate for such Shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which
the record date is prior to the date such certificate is issued, except as otherwise provided by this Agreement. Subject the provisions of this Agreement, Purchaser shall exercise all rights and privileges of a stockholder of the Company with
respect to Shares deposited in the Escrow pursuant to Section 6. 
  

 -6- 

 9. Rights As Employee, Consultant or Board Member. If Purchaser is an employee of the
Company Group, Purchaser understands and acknowledges that, except as otherwise provided in a separate, written employment agreement between a member of the Company Group and Purchaser, Purchaser’s employment is “at will” and is for
no specified term. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon Purchaser any right to continue in the Service of any member of the Company Group or interfere in any way with any right of any member of the Company Group to terminate Purchaser’s
Service at any time. 
 10. Legends. The Company may at any time place legends referencing the Unvested Share Reacquisition
Right and any applicable federal, state or foreign securities law restrictions on all certificates representing the Shares. Purchaser shall, at the request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing the
Shares in the possession of Purchaser in order to carry out the provisions of this Section. Unless otherwise specified by the Company, legends placed on such certificates may include, but shall not be limited to, the following: 
 “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THIS CORPORATION AND THE REGISTERED
HOLDER, OR HIS PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THIS CORPORATION.”

Purchaser renders such Service or a change in the member of the Company Group for which Purchaser renders such Service, provided that there is no interruption or termination of Purchaser’s Service. Furthermore, Purchaser’s Service shall
