 ARTICLE 1. 

PURPOSE 
 The purpose of
the Ignyta, Inc. 2017 Employment Inducement Incentive Award Plan (as it may be amended or restated from time to time, the “Plan”) is to promote the success and enhance the value of Ignyta, Inc. (the “Company”) by

intended to provide flexibility to the Company in its ability to motivate, attract, and retain the services of Eligible Individuals upon whose judgment, interest, and special effort the successful conduct of the Company’s operation is largely
dependent.

requirements of the Plan. No Eligible Individual shall have any right to be granted an Award pursuant to the Plan.

(a) The period during which the right to exercise, in whole or in part, an Option vests in the Holder shall be set by the Administrator and the
Administrator may determine that an Option may not be exercised in whole or in part for a specified period after it is granted. Such vesting may be based on service with the Company or any Subsidiary or any other criteria selected by the
Administrator. At any time after the grant of an Option, the Administrator, in its discretion and subject to whatever terms and conditions it selects, may accelerate the period during which an Option vests. 

(b) No portion of an Option which is unexercisable at a Holder’s Termination of Service shall thereafter become exercisable, except as may

or by action of the Administrator following the grant of 

  
 9 

 
the Option, the portion of an Option that is unexercisable at a Holder’s Termination of Service shall automatically expire 30 days following such Termination of Service. 

5.4 Manner of Exercise. All or a portion of an exercisable Option shall be deemed exercised upon delivery of all of the following to

thereof, is exercised. The notice shall be signed by the Holder or other person then entitled to exercise the Option or such portion of the Option.

5.5 Partial Exercise. An exercisable Option may be exercised in whole or in part. However, an Option shall not be exercisable with
respect to fractional Shares unless otherwise determined by the Administrator and the Administrator may require that, by the terms of the Option, a partial exercise must be with respect to a minimum number of shares. 

5.6 Option Term. The term of each Option (the “Option Term”) shall be set by the Administrator in its discretion;
provided, however, that the Option Term shall not be more than 10 years from the date the Option is granted. The Administrator shall determine the time period, including the time period following a Termination of Service, during which
the Holder has the right to exercise the vested Options, which time period may not extend beyond the last day of the Option Term. Except as limited by the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or the first sentence of this Section 5.6,
the Administrator may extend the Option Term of any outstanding Option, and may extend the time period during which vested Options may be exercised, in connection with any Termination of Service of the Holder, and may amend, subject to

as it deems appropriate.

provided, however, that if a purchase price is charged, such purchase price shall be no less than the par value, if any, of the Shares to be purchased, unless otherwise permitted by Applicable Law. In all cases, legal consideration
shall be required for each issuance of Restricted Stock. 
 6.2 Rights as Stockholders. Subject to Section 6.4, upon issuance of
Restricted Stock, the Holder shall have, unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, all the rights of a stockholder with respect to said Shares, subject to the restrictions in each individual Award Agreement, including the right to receive all
dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect to the Shares; provided, however, that, in the discretion of the Administrator, any extraordinary distributions with respect to the Shares shall be subject to the restrictions
set forth in Section 6.3. 
 6.3 Restrictions. All shares of Restricted Stock (including any shares received by Holders thereof
with respect to shares of Restricted Stock as a result of stock dividends, stock splits or any other form of recapitalization) shall, in the terms of each individual Award Agreement, be subject to such restrictions and vesting requirements as the
Administrator shall provide. Such restrictions may include, without limitation, restrictions concerning voting rights and transferability and such restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times and pursuant to such circumstances
or based on such criteria as selected by the Administrator, including, without limitation, criteria based on the Holder’s duration of employment, directorship or consultancy with the Company, Company performance, individual performance or other
criteria selected by the Administrator. By action taken after the Restricted Stock is issued, the Administrator may, on such terms and conditions as it may determine to be appropriate, accelerate the vesting of such Restricted Stock by removing any
or all of the restrictions imposed by the terms of the applicable Award Agreement. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, Restricted Stock may not be sold or encumbered until all restrictions are terminated or expire. 

6.4 Repurchase or Forfeiture of Restricted Stock. Except as otherwise determined by the Administrator at the time of the grant of the
Award or thereafter, (a) if no price was paid by the Holder for the Restricted Stock, upon a Termination of Service during the applicable restriction period, the Holder’s rights in unvested Restricted Stock then subject to restrictions
shall lapse, and such Restricted Stock shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled 

  
 11 

 
without consideration, and (b) if a price was paid by the Holder for the Restricted Stock, upon a Termination of Service during the applicable restriction period, the Company shall have the
right to repurchase from the Holder the unvested Restricted Stock then subject to restrictions at a cash price per share equal to the price paid by the Holder for such Restricted Stock or such other amount as may be specified in the applicable Award
Agreement. 
 6.5 Certificates for Restricted Stock. Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as
the Administrator shall determine. Certificates or book entries evidencing shares of Restricted Stock shall include an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock. The Company, in its
discretion, may (a) retain physical possession of any stock certificate evidencing shares of Restricted Stock until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed and/or (b) require that the stock certificates evidencing shares of Restricted
Stock be held in custody by a designated escrow agent (which may but need not be the Company) until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed and that the Holder deliver a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to such Restricted Stock. 

6.6 Section 83(b) Election. If a Holder makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed with respect to the
Restricted Stock as of the date of transfer of the Restricted Stock rather than as of the date or dates upon which the Holder would otherwise be taxable under Section 83(a) of the Code, the Holder shall be required to deliver a copy of such
election to the Company promptly after filing such election with the Internal Revenue Service.

otherwise set forth in an applicable Award Agreement, the maturity date relating to each Restricted Stock Unit shall not

vests. On the maturity date, the Company shall, subject to Section 10.4, transfer to the Holder one unrestricted, fully transferable Share for each Restricted Stock Unit scheduled to be paid out on such date and not previously forfeited, or in
the discretion of the Administrator, an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the maturity date or a combination of cash and Common Stock as determined by the Administrator. 

7.5 No Rights as a Stockholder. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, a Holder of Restricted Stock Units shall possess no
incidents of ownership with respect to the Shares represented by such Restricted Stock Units, unless and until such Shares are transferred to the Holder pursuant to the terms of this Plan and the Award Agreement. 

ARTICLE 8. 
 DIVIDEND
EQUIVALENTS, STOCK PAYMENTS 
 8.1 Dividend Equivalents. 

(a) Dividend Equivalents may be granted by the Administrator based on dividends declared on the Common Stock, to be credited as of dividend
payment dates with respect to dividends with record dates that occur during the period between the date an Award is granted to a Holder and the date such Award vests, is exercised, is distributed or expires, as determined by the Administrator. Such
Dividend Equivalents shall be converted to cash or additional Shares by such formula and at such time and subject to such restrictions and limitations as may be determined by the Administrator. In addition, Dividend Equivalents with respect to an
Award with performance-based vesting that are based on dividends paid prior to the vesting of such Award shall only be paid out to the Holder to the extent that the performance-based vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied and the Award vests.

 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Dividend Equivalents shall be payable with respect to Options or Stock Appreciation Rights. 

8.2 Stock Payments. The Administrator is authorized to make Stock Payments to any Eligible Individual. The number or value of Shares of
any Stock Payment shall be determined by the Administrator and may be based upon any specific criteria, including service to the Company or any Subsidiary, determined by the Administrator. Shares underlying a Stock Payment which is subject to a
vesting schedule or other conditions or criteria set by the Administrator shall not be issued until those conditions have been satisfied. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, a Holder of a Stock Payment shall have no rights as a Company
stockholder with respect to such Stock Payment until such time as the Stock Payment has vested and the Shares underlying the Award have been issued to the Holder. Stock Payments may, but are not required to, be made in lieu of base salary, bonus,
fees or other cash compensation otherwise payable to such Eligible Individual. 

  
 13 

 8.3 Purchase Price. The Administrator may establish the purchase price of Shares
distributed as a Stock Payment award; provided, however, that value of the consideration shall not be less than the par value of a Share, unless otherwise permitted by Applicable Law. 

ARTICLE 9. 
 STOCK
APPRECIATION RIGHTS 
 9.1 Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights. 

(a) The Administrator is authorized to grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Eligible Individuals from time to time, in its discretion, on such
terms and conditions as it may determine, which shall not be inconsistent with the Plan. 
 (b) A Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle the
Holder (or other person entitled to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right pursuant to the Plan) to exercise all or a specified portion of the Stock Appreciation Right (to the extent then exercisable pursuant to its terms) and to receive from the
Company an amount determined by multiplying the difference obtained by subtracting the exercise price per share of the Stock Appreciation Right from the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right by the number of
Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised, subject to any limitations the Administrator may impose. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the exercise price per Share subject to each Stock
Appreciation Right shall be set by the Administrator, but shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted. 

9.2 Stock Appreciation Right Vesting. 

(a) The period during which the right to exercise, in whole or in part, a Stock Appreciation Right vests in the Holder shall be set by the
Administrator, and the Administrator may determine that a Stock Appreciation Right may not be exercised in whole or in part for a specified period after it is granted. Such vesting may be based on service with the Company or any Subsidiary or any
other criteria selected by the Administrator. At any time after grant of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Administrator, in its discretion and subject to whatever terms and conditions it selects, may accelerate the period during which a Stock
Appreciation Right vests. 
 (b) No portion of a Stock Appreciation Right which is unexercisable at a Holder’s Termination of Service
shall thereafter become exercisable, except as may be otherwise provided by the Administrator in an Award Agreement or by action of the Administrator following the grant of the Stock Appreciation Right. Unless otherwise determined by the
Administrator in the Award Agreement or by action of the Administrator following the grant of the Stock Appreciation Right, the portion of a Stock Appreciation Right which is unexercisable at a Holder’s Termination of Service shall
automatically expire 30 days following such Termination of Service. 
 9.3 Manner of Exercise. All or a portion of an exercisable
Stock Appreciation Right shall be deemed exercised upon delivery of all of the following to the Secretary of the Company, 

  
 14 

 
the stock administrator of the Company, or such other person or entity designated by the Administrator, or his, her or its office, as applicable: 

(a) A written or electronic notice complying with the applicable rules established by the Administrator stating that the Stock Appreciation
Right, or a portion thereof, is exercised. The notice shall be signed by the Holder or other person then entitled to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right or such portion of the Stock Appreciation Right. 

(b) Such representations and documents as the Administrator, in its discretion, deems necessary or advisable to effect compliance with
Applicable Law. The Administrator, in its discretion, may also take whatever additional actions it deems appropriate to effect such compliance, including, without limitation, placing legends on share certificates and issuing stop-transfer notices to
agents and registrars. 
 (c) In the event that the Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercised by any person or persons other than the
Holder, appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right, as determined in the discretion of the Administrator. 

(d) Full payment of the exercise price and applicable withholding taxes for the Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right, or
portion thereof, is exercised, in a manner permitted by Section 10.1 and Section 10.2. 
 9.4 Stock Appreciation Right
Term. The term of each Stock Appreciation Right (the “Stock Appreciation Right Term”) shall be set by the Administrator in its discretion; provided, however, that the Stock Appreciation Right Term shall not be more
than ten (10) years from the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted. The Administrator shall determine the time period, including the time period following a Termination of Service, during which the Holder has the right to exercise the
vested Stock Appreciation Rights, which time period may not extend beyond the last day of the Stock Appreciation Right Term applicable to such Stock Appreciation Right. Except as limited by the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or the
first sentence of this Section 9.4, the Administrator may extend the Stock Appreciation Right Term of any outstanding Stock Appreciation Right, and may extend the time period during which vested Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised, in
connection with any Termination of Service of the Holder, and may amend, subject to Section 12.1, any other term or condition of such Stock Appreciation Right relating to such a Termination of Service. 

9.5 Payment. Payment of the amounts payable with respect to Stock Appreciation Rights pursuant to this Article 9 shall be in cash,
Shares (based on Fair Market Value as of the date the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised), or a combination of both, as determined by the Administrator. 

ARTICLE 10. 
 ADDITIONAL
TERMS OF AWARDS 
 10.1 Payment. The Administrator shall determine the methods by which payments by any Holder with respect to
any Awards granted under the Plan shall be made, including, without limitation: (a) cash or check, (b) Shares (including, in the case of payment of the exercise price 

  
 15 

 
of an Award, Shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Award) held for such period of time as may be required by the Administrator in order to avoid adverse accounting consequences, in each
case, having a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the aggregate payments required, (c) delivery of a written or electronic notice that the Holder has placed a market sell order with a broker acceptable to the Company with
respect to Shares then issuable upon exercise or vesting of an Award, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the aggregate payments required;
provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of such sale, or (d) any other form of legal consideration acceptable to the Administrator in its discretion. The Administrator shall also determine the
methods by which Shares shall be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Holders. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Holder who is a Director or an “executive officer” of the Company within the meaning of
Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act shall be permitted to make payment with respect to any Awards granted under the Plan, or continue any extension of credit with respect to such payment, with a loan from the Company or a loan arranged by the
Company in violation of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act. 
 10.2 Tax Withholding. The Company or any Subsidiary shall have the
authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Holder to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including the Holder’s FICA, employment tax or other social security
contribution obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event concerning a Holder arising as a result of the Plan. The Administrator shall determine the methods by which payments by any Holder with respect to the tax
withholding obligations with respect to any Awards granted under the Plan shall be made, which methods may include any of the methods permitted under Section 10.1 above. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrator, in its discretion and
in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement, may withhold, or allow a Holder to elect to have the Company withhold, Shares otherwise issuable under an Award (or allow the surrender of Shares). Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the
number of Shares which may be so withheld or surrendered shall be limited to the number of Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or repurchase equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum
statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income. The Administrator shall determine the fair market value of the Shares, consistent with
applicable provisions of the Code, for tax withholding obligations due in connection with a broker-assisted cashless Option or Stock Appreciation Right exercise involving the sale of Shares to pay the Option or Stock Appreciation Right exercise
price or any tax withholding obligation. 
 10.3 Transferability of Awards. 

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.3(b): 

(i) No Award under the Plan may be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution or, subject to the consent of the Administrator, pursuant to a DRO, unless and until such Award has been exercised, or the Shares underlying such Award have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such Shares have lapsed; 

  
 16 

 (ii) No Award or interest or right therein shall be liable for the debts, contracts or
engagements of the Holder or the Holder’s successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary
or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent
that such disposition is permitted by Section 10.3(a)(i); and 
 (iii) During the lifetime of the Holder, only the Holder may exercise
an Award (or any portion thereof) granted to such Holder under the Plan, unless it has been disposed of pursuant to a DRO; after the death of the Holder, any exercisable portion of an Award may, prior to the time when such portion becomes
unexercisable under the Plan or the Award Agreement, be exercised by the Holder’s personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Holder’s will or under the then-applicable laws of descent and distribution.

 (b) Notwithstanding Section 10.3(a), the Administrator, in its discretion, may determine to permit a Holder to transfer an Award to
any one or more Permitted Transferees, subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) an Award transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall not be assignable or transferable by the Permitted Transferee other than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution or, subject to the consent of the Administrator, pursuant to a DRO; (ii) an Award transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall continue to be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Award as applicable to the
original Holder (other than the ability to further transfer the Award); and (iii) the Holder and the Permitted Transferee shall execute any and all documents requested by the Administrator, including, without limitation documents to
(A) confirm the status of the transferee as a Permitted Transferee, (B) satisfy any requirements for an exemption for the transfer under Applicable Law and (C) evidence the transfer. 

(c) Notwithstanding Section 10.3(a), a Holder may, in the manner determined by the Administrator, designate a beneficiary to exercise the
rights of the Holder and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Holder’s death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights pursuant to the Plan is subject to all terms and
conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to the Holder, except to the extent the Plan and Award Agreement otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Administrator. If the Holder is
married or a domestic partner in a domestic partnership qualified under Applicable Law and resides in a community property state, a designation of a person other than the Holder’s spouse or domestic partner, as applicable, as the Holder’s
beneficiary with respect to more than 50% of the Holder’s interest in the Award shall not be effective without the prior written or electronic consent of the Holder’s spouse or domestic partner. If no beneficiary has been designated or
survives the Holder, payment shall be made to the person entitled thereto pursuant to the Holder’s will or the laws of descent and distribution. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Holder at any
time; provided that the change or revocation is filed with the Administrator prior to the Holder’s death. 

  
 17 

 10.4 Conditions to Issuance of Shares. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates or make any book
entries evidencing Shares issuable pursuant to any Award, unless and until the Board or the Committee has determined, with advice of counsel, that the issuance of such Shares is in compliance with Applicable Law and the Shares are covered by an
effective registration statement or applicable exemption from registration. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Board or the Committee may require that a Holder make such reasonable covenants, agreements and representations
as the Board or the Committee, in its discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with Applicable Law. 
 (b) All Share certificates
delivered pursuant to the Plan and all Shares issued pursuant to book entry procedures are subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Administrator deems necessary or advisable to comply with Applicable Law. The Administrator
may place legends on any Share certificate or book entry to reference restrictions applicable to the Shares. 
 (c) The Administrator shall
have the right to require any Holder to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement, distribution or exercise of any Award, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the
Administrator. 
 (d) No fractional Shares shall be issued and the Administrator, in its discretion, shall determine whether cash shall be
given in lieu of fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares shall be eliminated by rounding down. 
 (e) Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator or required by Applicable Law, the Company shall not deliver to any Holder certificates evidencing Shares issued in connection with any Award and instead such Shares shall be
recorded in the books of the Company (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator). 
 10.5 Forfeiture and
Claw-Back Provisions. Pursuant to its general authority to determine the terms and conditions applicable to Awards under the Plan, the Administrator shall have the right to provide, in an Award Agreement or otherwise, or to require a Holder to
agree by separate written or electronic instrument, that: 
 (a) (i) Any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively
received by the Holder upon any receipt or exercise of the Award, or upon the receipt or resale of any Shares underlying the Award, shall be paid to the Company, and (ii) the Award shall terminate and any unexercised portion of the Award
(whether or not vested) shall be forfeited, if (x) a Termination of Service occurs prior to a specified date, or within a specified time period following receipt or exercise of the Award, or (y) the Holder at any time, or during a
specified time period, engages in any activity in competition with the Company, or which is inimical, contrary or harmful to the interests of the Company, as further defined by the Administrator or (z) the Holder incurs a Termination of Service
for Cause; and 

  
 18 

 (b) All Awards (including any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or
constructively received by the Holder upon any receipt or exercise of any Award or upon the receipt or resale of any Shares underlying the Award) shall be subject to the provisions of any claw-back policy implemented by the Company, including,
without limitation, any claw-back policy adopted to comply with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, to the extent set forth in such claw-back policy and/or in the
applicable Award Agreement. 
 10.6 Repricing. Subject to Section 12.2, the Administrator shall have the authority, without the
approval of the stockholders of the Company, to amend any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right to reduce its price per share or cancel any Option or Stock Appreciation Right in exchange for cash or another Award when the Option or Stock
Appreciation Right price per share exceeds the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares. 
 ARTICLE 11. 

ADMINISTRATION 
 11.1
Administrator. The “Administrator” of the Plan shall be the Committee (or another committee or a subcommittee of the Board assuming the functions of the Committee under the Plan) and, unless otherwise determined by the Board, shall
consist solely of two or more members of the Board appointed by and holding office at the pleasure of the Board, each of whom is an Independent Director and a Non-Employee Director. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any action taken by the Committee shall be valid and effective, whether or not members of the Committee at the time of such action are later determined not to have satisfied the requirements for membership set forth in this
Section 11.1 or otherwise provided in any charter of the Committee. Except as may otherwise be provided in any charter of the Committee, appointment of Committee members shall be effective upon acceptance of appointment. Committee members may
resign at any time by delivering written or electronic notice to the Board. Vacancies in the Committee may only be filled by the Board. 

11.2 Duties and Powers of Committee. It shall be the duty of the Committee to conduct the general administration of the Plan in
accordance with its provisions. The Committee shall have the power to interpret the Plan and Award Agreements, and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are not inconsistent therewith, to
interpret, amend or revoke any such rules and to amend any Award Agreement; provided that the rights or obligations of the Holder of the Award that is the subject of any such Award Agreement are not affected adversely by such amendment,
unless the consent of the Holder is obtained or such amendment is otherwise permitted under Section 10.5 or Section 12.10. Any such grant or award under the Plan need not be the same with respect to each Holder. 

11.3 Action by the Committee. Unless otherwise established by the Board or in any charter of the Committee, a majority of the Committee
shall constitute a quorum and the acts of a majority of the members present at any meeting at which a quorum is present, and acts approved in writing by all members of the Committee in lieu of a meeting, shall be deemed the acts of the Committee.
Each member of the Committee is entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to that member by any officer or other employee of the 

  
 19 

 
Company or any Subsidiary, the Company’s independent certified public accountants, or any executive compensation consultant or other professional retained by the Company to assist in the
administration of the Plan. 
 11.4 Authority of Administrator. Subject to the Company’s Bylaws, the Committee’s Charter
and any specific designation in the Plan, the Administrator has the exclusive power, authority and sole discretion to: 
 (a) Adopt
procedures from time to time intended to ensure that an individual is an Eligible Individual prior to the granting of any Awards to such individual under the Plan (including without limitation a requirement, if any, that each such individual certify
to the Company prior to the receipt of an Award under the Plan that he or she has not been previously employed by the Company or a Subsidiary, or if previously employed, has had a bona fide period of
non-employment, and that the grant of Awards under the Plan is an inducement material to his or her agreement to enter into employment with the Company or a Subsidiary); 

(b) Designate Eligible Individuals to receive Awards; 

(c) Determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to Eligible Individuals; 

(d) Determine the number of Awards to be granted and the number of Shares to which an Award will relate; 

(e) Determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted pursuant to the Plan, including, but not limited to, the exercise price, grant
price, purchase price, any restrictions or limitations on the Award, any schedule for vesting, lapse of forfeiture restrictions or restrictions on the exercisability of an Award, and accelerations or waivers thereof, and any provisions related to non-competition and recapture of gain on an Award, based in each case on such considerations as the Administrator in its sole discretion determines; 

(f) Determine whether, to what extent, and pursuant to what circumstances an Award may be settled in, or the exercise price of an Award may be
paid in cash, Shares, other Awards, or other property, or an Award may be canceled, forfeited, or surrendered; 
 (g) Prescribe the form of
each Award Agreement, which need not be identical for each Holder; 
 (h) Decide all other matters that must be determined in connection with
an Award; 
 (i) Establish, adopt or revise any rules and regulations as it may deem necessary or advisable to administer the Plan; 

(j) Interpret the terms of, and any matter arising pursuant to, the Plan or any Award Agreement; 

  
 20 

 (k) Make all other decisions and determinations that may be required pursuant to the Plan or as
the Administrator deems necessary or advisable to administer the Plan; and 
 (l) Accelerate wholly or partially the vesting or lapse of
restrictions of any Award or portion thereof at any time after the grant of an Award, subject to whatever terms and conditions it selects and Section 12.2(d). 

11.5 Decisions Binding. The Administrator’s interpretation of the Plan, any Awards granted pursuant to the Plan, and any Award
Agreement and all decisions and determinations by the Administrator with respect to the Plan are final, binding and conclusive on all parties. 

11.6 Actions Required Upon Grant of Award. Following the issuance of any Award under the Plan, the Company shall, in accordance with
the listing requirements of the applicable securities exchange, (a) promptly issue a press release disclosing the material terms of the grant, including the recipient(s) of the grant and the number of shares involved (and if the disclosure
relates to an award to only one person, or to executive officers, or the award was individually negotiated, then the disclosure must include the identity of the recipient), and (b) notify the applicable securities exchange of such grant no
later than the earlier to occur of (i) five calendar days after entering into the agreement to issue the Award or (ii) the date of the public announcement of the Award. 

ARTICLE 12. 

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 

12.1 Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 12.1, the Plan may be wholly
or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Board or the Committee. Except as provided in Section 12.10, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall, without the
consent of the Holder, impair any rights or obligations under any Award theretofore granted or awarded, unless the Award itself otherwise expressly so provides. No Awards may be granted or awarded during any period of suspension or after termination
of the Plan, and in no event may any Award be granted under the Plan after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date the Board adopts the Plan (the “Expiration Date”). Any Awards
that are outstanding on the Expiration Date shall remain in force according to the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement. 

12.2 Changes in Common Stock or Assets of the Company, Acquisition or Liquidation of the Company and Other Corporate Events. 

(a) In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or other distribution (other than
normal cash dividends) of Company assets to stockholders, or any other change affecting the shares of the Company’s stock or the share price of the Company’s stock other than an Equity Restructuring, the Administrator may make equitable
adjustments, if any, to reflect such change with respect to: (i) the aggregate number and kind of shares that may be issued under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 3.1 on the maximum number
and kind of 

  
 21 

 
shares which may be issued under the Plan); (ii) the number and kind of Shares (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards; (iii) the terms and conditions of any
outstanding Awards (including, without limitation, any applicable performance targets or criteria with respect thereto); and (iv) the grant or exercise price per share for any outstanding Awards under the Plan. 

(b) In the event of any transaction or event described in Section 12.2(a) or any unusual or nonrecurring transactions or events affecting
the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, or the financial statements of the Company or any Subsidiary, or of changes in Applicable Law or accounting principles, including, without limitation, a Change in Control, the Administrator, in its
discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, either by the terms of the Award or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event and either automatically or upon the Holder’s request, is hereby
authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Administrator determines that such action is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under
the Plan or with respect to any Award under the Plan, to facilitate such transactions or events or to give effect to such changes in laws, regulations or principles: 

(i) To provide for either (A) termination of any such Award in exchange for an amount of cash, if any, equal to the amount that would
have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Holder’s rights (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction or event described in this Section 12.2 the Administrator
determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Holder’s rights, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without payment) or (B) the replacement of such Award
with other rights or property selected by the Administrator, in its discretion, having an aggregate value not exceeding the amount that could have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Holder’s rights had such
Award been currently exercisable or payable or fully vested; 
 (ii) To provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor
corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar options, rights or awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the
number and kind of shares and prices; 
 (iii) To make adjustments in the number and type of shares of the Company’s stock (or other
securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and in the number and kind of outstanding Restricted Stock and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding Awards and
Awards which may be granted in the future; 
 (iv) To provide that such Award shall be exercisable or payable or fully vested with respect
to all shares covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement; and 

  
 22 

 (v) To provide that the Award cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after such event. 

(c) In connection with the occurrence of any Equity Restructuring, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12.2(a) and
12.2(b), the Administrator shall equitably adjust each outstanding Award, which adjustments may include adjustments to the number and type of securities subject to each outstanding Award and/or the exercise price or grant price thereof, if
applicable, the grant of new Awards to Holders, and/or the making of a cash payment to Holders, as the Administrator deems appropriate to reflect such Equity Restructuring. The adjustments provided under this Section 12.2(c) shall be
nondiscretionary and shall be final and binding on the affected Holder and the Company; provided that whether an adjustment is equitable shall be determined in the discretion of the Administrator. 

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the event of a Change in Control, each outstanding Award shall continue in effect or be
assumed or an equivalent Award substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation. 
 (e) In the
event that the successor corporation in a Change in Control refuses to assume or substitute for an Award, the Administrator may cause all or any portion of such Award to become fully vested and/or exercisable and/or payable immediately prior to the
consummation of such transaction and all forfeiture restrictions on all or any portion of such Award to lapse. If an Award is exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a Change in Control, the Administrator shall notify the
Holder that the Award shall be fully exercisable for a period of 15 days from the date of such notice, contingent upon the occurrence of the Change in Control, and the Award shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. 

(f) For the purposes of this Section 12.2, an Award shall be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Award confers the
right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for
each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such
consideration received in the Change in Control was not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the
exercise of the Award, for each Share subject to an Award, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent equal in fair market value to the per-share consideration received by holders of
Common Stock in the Change in Control. 
 (g) The Administrator, in its discretion, may include such further provisions and limitations in
any Award, agreement or certificate, as it may deem equitable and in the best interests of the Company that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan. 

(h) No adjustment or action shall be authorized to the extent such adjustment or action would result in short-swing profits liability under
Section 16 or violate the exemptive 

  
 23 

 
conditions of Rule 16b-3 unless the Administrator determines that the Award is not to comply with such exemptive conditions. 

(i) The existence of the Plan, the Award Agreement and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect or restrict in any way the right or power
of the Company or the stockholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of
stock or of options, warrants or rights to purchase stock or of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks whose rights are superior to or affect the Common Stock or the rights thereof or which are convertible into or exchangeable for
Common Stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise. 

(j) No action shall be taken under this Section 12.2 which shall cause an Award to fail to be exempt from or comply with Section 409A
of the Code or the Treasury Regulations thereunder. 
 (k) In the event of any pending stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange
of shares, merger, consolidation or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of Company assets to stockholders, or any other change affecting the Shares or the share price of the Common Stock including any Equity Restructuring, for
reasons of administrative convenience, the Company, in its discretion, may refuse to permit the exercise of any Award during a period of up to thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of any such transaction. 

12.3 Stockholder Approval Not Required. It is expressly intended that approval of the Company’s stockholders not be required as a
condition of the effectiveness of the Plan, and the Plan’s provisions shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent for all purposes. Specifically, NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 5635(c) generally requires stockholder approval for
stock option plans or other equity compensation arrangements adopted by companies whose securities are listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market pursuant to which stock awards or stock may be acquired by officers, directors, employees or consultants of such
companies. NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 5635(c)(4) provides an exemption in certain circumstances for “employment inducement” awards (within the meaning of NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 5635(c)(4)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
if the Company’s securities are traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market, then Awards under the Plan may only be made to Employees who have not previously been an Employee or Director of the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary, or following a bona fide
period of non-employment by the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary, in each case as an inducement material to the Employee’s entering into employment with the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary. Awards
under the Plan will be approved by (a) the Company’s Compensation Committee comprised entirely of Independent Directors or (b) a majority of the Company’s Independent Directors. Accordingly, pursuant to NASDAQ Stock Market Rule
5635(c)(4), the issuance of Awards and the Shares issuable upon exercise or vesting of such Awards pursuant to the Plan are not subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders. 

  
 24 

 12.4 No Stockholders Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Holder shall have none
of the rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares covered by any Award until the Holder becomes the record owner of such Shares. 
 12.5
Paperless Administration. In the event that the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the documentation, granting or exercise of Awards, such as a system using an internet website or
interactive voice response, then the paperless documentation, granting or exercise of Awards by a Holder may be permitted through the use of such an automated system. 

12.6 Effect of Plan upon Other Compensation Plans. The adoption of the Plan shall not affect any other compensation or incentive plans
in effect for the Company or any Subsidiary. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to limit the right of the Company or any Subsidiary: (a) to establish any other forms of incentives or compensation for Employees, Directors or Consultants of
the Company or any Subsidiary, or (b) to grant or assume options or other rights or awards otherwise than under the Plan in connection with any proper corporate purpose including without limitation, the grant or assumption of options in
connection with the acquisition by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of the business, stock or assets of any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, firm or association. 

12.7 Compliance with Laws. The Plan, the granting and vesting of Awards under the Plan and the issuance and delivery of Shares and the
payment of money under the Plan or under Awards granted or awarded hereunder are subject to compliance with all Applicable Law (including but not limited to state, federal and foreign securities law and margin requirements), 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. Any securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such restrictions, and the person
acquiring such securities shall, 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 Law. To the extent permitted by
Applicable Law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to Applicable Law. 

12.8 Titles and Headings, References to Sections of the Code or Exchange Act. The titles and headings of the Sections in the Plan are
for convenience of reference only and, in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control. References to sections of the Code or the Exchange Act shall include any amendment or successor thereto.

 12.9 Governing Law. The Plan and any agreements hereunder shall be administered, interpreted and enforced under the internal laws
of the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws thereof or of any other jurisdiction. 
 12.10 Section 409A. To the
extent that the Administrator determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A of the
Code. To the extent applicable, the Plan and any Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance 

  
 25 

 
with Section 409A of the Code, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to
the contrary, in the event that following the Effective Date the Administrator determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code (including Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the Effective Date), the
Administrator may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Administrator
determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (b) comply with the requirements of
Section 409A of the Code and thereby avoid the application of any penalty taxes under such Section. 
 12.11 No Rights to
Awards. No Eligible Individual or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award pursuant to the Plan, and neither the Company nor the Administrator is obligated to treat Eligible Individuals, Holders or any other persons uniformly.

 12.12 Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect
to any payments not yet made to a Holder pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall give the Holder any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Subsidiary. 

12.13 Indemnification. To the extent allowable pursuant to Applicable Law, each member of the Committee or of the Board shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Company from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such member in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may
be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act pursuant to the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him
or her; provided he or she gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be
exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them
or hold them harmless. 
 12.14 Relationship to other Benefits. No payment pursuant to the Plan shall be taken into account in
determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or other benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in writing in such other plan or an
agreement thereunder. 
 12.15 Expenses. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Subsidiaries.

 EXHIBIT A 

TO STOCK OPTION GRANT NOTICE 

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 

Pursuant to the Grant Notice to which this Agreement is attached, the Company has granted to Holder an Option under the Plan to purchase the
number of shares of Stock set forth in the Grant Notice. 
 ARTICLE 1. 

GENERAL 
 1.1 Defined
Terms. Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Plan or the Grant Notice. 
 1.2
Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The Option is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the
terms of the Plan shall control. 
 ARTICLE 2. 

GRANT OF OPTION 
 2.1
Grant of Option; Employment Inducement Award. For good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is acknowledged by the Company, effective as of the grant date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”), the Company
has granted to Holder the Option to purchase any part or all of an aggregate number of shares of Stock set forth in the Grant Notice, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, this Agreement and the Grant Notice, subject to adjustments as
provided in Section 12.2 of the Plan. The Option shall be a Non-Qualified Stock Option. The Option is intended to constitute an “employment inducement” award under Nasdaq Stock Market
(“Nasdaq”) Rule 5635(c)(4), and consequently is intended to be exempt from the Nasdaq rules regarding shareholder approval of stock option plans or other equity compensation arrangements. This Agreement and the terms and conditions
of the Option shall be interpreted in accordance and consistent with such exemption. 
 2.2 Exercise Price. The exercise price per
share of the shares of Stock subject to the Option (the “Exercise Price”) shall be as set forth in the Grant Notice; provided, however, that the price per share of the Stock subject to the Option shall not be less than 100% of the
Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Grant Date. 
 2.3 Consideration to the Company. In consideration of the grant of the
Option by the Company, Holder agrees to render faithful and efficient services to the Company or any Subsidiary. Nothing in the Plan, this Agreement or the Grant Notice shall confer upon Holder any right to continue in the employ or service of the
Company or any Subsidiary or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of Holder at any time for any reason
whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary and Holder. 

 ARTICLE 3. 

PERIOD OF EXERCISABILITY 

3.1 Commencement of Exercisability. 

(a) Subject to Sections 3.2, 3.3, 5.10 and 5.15 hereof, the Option shall become vested and exercisable in such amounts and at such times as are
set forth in the Grant Notice. 
 (b) No portion of the Option which has not become vested and exercisable at the date of Holder’s
Termination of Service shall thereafter become vested and exercisable, except as may be otherwise provided by the Administrator or as set forth in a written agreement between the Company and Holder. 

3.2 Duration of Exercisability. The installments provided for in the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice are cumulative.
Each such installment which becomes vested and exercisable pursuant to the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice shall remain vested and exercisable until it becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3 hereof. 

3.3 Expiration of Option. The Option may not be exercised to any extent by anyone after the first to occur of the following events:

 (a) The expiration of ten years from the Grant Date; 

(b) Except as the Administrator may otherwise approve, the expiration of three (3) months from the date of Holder’s Termination of
Service, unless such termination occurs by reason of Holder’s death, Disability or for Cause; 
 (c) Except as the Administrator may
otherwise approve, the expiration of one (1) year from the date of Holder’s Termination of Service by reason of Holder’s death or Disability; or 

(d) Except as the Administrator may otherwise approve, upon Holder’s Termination of Service for Cause. 

With respect to any unvested portion of the Option, the Option will expire on the date that is 30 days following Holder’s Termination of
Service other than for Cause, or such shorter period as may be determined by the Administrator. 
 3.4 Tax Withholding.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement: 
 (a) The Company and its Subsidiaries have the authority to deduct or withhold, or
require Holder to remit to the Company or the applicable Subsidiary, an amount sufficient to satisfy applicable federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including the employee portion of any FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with
respect to any taxable event arising pursuant to this Agreement. The Company and its Subsidiaries may withhold or Holder may make such payment in one or more of the forms specified below: 

(i) by cash or check made payable to the Company or the Subsidiary with respect to which the withholding obligation arises; 

  
 A-2 

 (ii) by the deduction of such amount from other compensation payable to Holder; 

(iii) with respect to any withholding taxes arising in connection with the exercise of the Option, with the consent of the Administrator, by
requesting that the Company withhold a net number of shares of Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Option having a then current Fair Market Value not exceeding the amount necessary to satisfy the withholding obligation of the Company and its
Subsidiaries based on the minimum applicable statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes; 

(iv) with respect to any withholding taxes arising in connection with the exercise of the Option, with the consent of the Administrator, by
tendering to the Company shares of Stock having a then current Fair Market Value not exceeding the amount necessary to satisfy the withholding obligation of the Company and its Subsidiaries based on the minimum applicable statutory withholding rates
for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes; 
 (v) with respect to any withholding taxes arising in
connection with the exercise of the Option, through the delivery of a notice that Holder has placed a market sell order with a broker acceptable to the Company with respect to shares of Stock then issuable upon exercise of the Option, and that the
broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company or the Subsidiary with respect to which the withholding obligation arises in satisfaction of such withholding taxes; provided that payment of
such proceeds is then made to the Company or the applicable Subsidiary at such time as may be required by the Administrator, but in any event not later than the settlement of such sale; or 

(vi) in any combination of the foregoing. 

(b) With respect to any withholding taxes arising in connection with the Option, in the event Holder fails to provide timely payment of all
sums required pursuant to Section 3.4(a), the Company shall have the right and option, but not the obligation, to treat such failure as an election by Holder to satisfy all or any portion of Holder’s required payment obligation pursuant to
Section 3.4(a)(ii) or Section 3.4(a)(iii) above, or any combination of the foregoing as the Company may determine to be appropriate. The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any certificate representing shares of Stock issuable with
respect to the exercise of the Option to Holder or his or her legal representative unless and until Holder or his or her legal representative shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all federal, state, local and foreign taxes
applicable with respect to the taxable income of Holder resulting from the exercise of the Option or any other taxable event related to the Option. 

(c) In the event any tax withholding obligation arising in connection with the Option will be satisfied under Section 3.4(a)(iii) above,
then the Company may elect to instruct any brokerage firm determined acceptable to the Company for such purpose to sell on Holder’s behalf a whole number of shares from those shares of Stock that are issuable upon exercise of the Option as the
Company determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy the tax withholding obligation and to remit the proceeds of such sale to the Company or the Subsidiary with respect to which the withholding obligation arises.
Holder’s acceptance of this Award constitutes Holder’s instruction and authorization to the Company and such brokerage firm to complete the transactions described in this Section 3.4(c), including the transactions described in the
previous sentence, as applicable. The Company may refuse to issue any shares of Stock to Holder until the foregoing tax withholding obligations are satisfied. 

  
 A-3 

 (d) Holder is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed in connection with the Option,
regardless of any action the Company or any Subsidiary takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the Option. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary makes any representation or undertaking regarding the
treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the awarding, vesting or exercise of the Option or the subsequent sale of Stock. The Company and the Subsidiaries do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the Option to reduce or
eliminate Holder’s tax liability. 
 ARTICLE 4. 

EXERCISE OF OPTION 
 4.1
Person Eligible to Exercise. Except as provided in Section 5.3, during the lifetime of Holder, only Holder may exercise the Option or any portion thereof, unless it has been disposed of, with the consent of the Administrator, pursuant to
a DRO. After the death of Holder, any exercisable portion of the Option may, prior to the time when the Option becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3 hereof, be exercised by Holder’s personal representative or by any person empowered to
do so under the deceased Holder’s will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution. 
 4.2 Partial Exercise.
Subject to Section 5.2, any exercisable portion of the Option or the entire Option, if then wholly exercisable, may be exercised in whole or in part at any time prior to the time when the Option or portion thereof becomes unexercisable under
Section 3.3 hereof. 
 4.3 Manner of Exercise. The Option, or any exercisable portion thereof, may be exercised solely by
delivery to the Secretary of the Company (or any third party administrator or other person or entity designated by the Company), during regular business hours, of all of the following prior to the time when the Option or such portion thereof becomes
unexercisable under Section 3.3 hereof. 
 (a) An exercise notice in a form specified by the Administrator, stating that the Option or
portion thereof is thereby exercised, such notice complying with all applicable rules established by the Administrator; 
 (b) The receipt by
the Company of full payment for the shares of Stock with respect to which the Option or portion thereof is exercised, in such form of consideration permitted under Section 4.4 hereof that is acceptable to the Administrator; 

(c) The payment of any applicable withholding tax in accordance with Section 3.4; 

(d) Any other written representations or documents as may be required in the Administrator’s sole discretion to effect compliance with
Applicable Law; and 
 (e) In the event the Option or portion thereof shall be exercised pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof by any person or
persons other than Holder, appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option. 
 Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the
Administrator shall have the right to specify all conditions of the manner of exercise, which conditions may vary by country and which may be subject to change from time to time. 

  
 A-4 

 4.4 Method of Payment. Payment of the exercise price shall be by any of the following, or
a combination thereof, at the election of Holder: 
 (a) By cash or check made payable to the Company; 

(b) By the deduction of such amount from other compensation payable to Holder; 

(c) With the consent of the Administrator, surrender of shares of Stock (including, without limitation, shares of Stock otherwise issuable upon
exercise of the Option) held for such period of time as may be required by the Administrator in order to avoid adverse accounting consequences and having a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Option
or exercised portion thereof; 
 (d) Through the delivery of a notice that Holder has placed a market sell order with a broker acceptable to
the Company with respect to shares of Stock then issuable upon exercise of the Option, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the Option exercise price;
provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company at such time as may be required by the Administrator, but in any event not later than the settlement of such sale; or 

(e) Any other form of legal consideration acceptable to the Administrator. 

4.5 Conditions to Issuance of Stock. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any shares of Stock purchased upon the
exercise of the Option or portion thereof prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions: (a) the admission of such shares of Stock to listing on all stock exchanges on which such Stock is then listed, (b) the completion of any
registration or other qualification of such shares of Stock under any state or federal law or under rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental regulatory body, which the Administrator shall, in its
absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable, (c) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency which the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or
advisable, (d) the lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the Option as the Administrator may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience; (e) the receipt by the Company of full payment
for such shares of Stock in accordance with Section 4.4 hereof, and (f) the receipt of full payment of any applicable withholding tax in accordance with Section 3.4 by the Company or its Subsidiary with respect to which the applicable
withholding obligation arises. 
 4.6 Rights as Stockholder. Neither Holder nor any person claiming under or through Holder will have
any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any shares of Stock purchasable upon the exercise of any part of the Option unless and until certificates representing such shares of Stock (which may be in book-entry
form) will have been issued and recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars and delivered to Holder (including through electronic delivery to a brokerage account). No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other
right for which the record date is prior to the date of such issuance, recordation and delivery, except as provided in Section 12.2 of the Plan. Except as otherwise provided herein, after such issuance, recordation and delivery, Holder will
have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such shares of Stock, including, without limitation, the right to receipt of dividends and distributions on such shares. 

  
 A-5 

 ARTICLE 5. 

OTHER PROVISIONS 
 5.1
Administration. The Administrator shall have the power to interpret the Plan, this Agreement and the Grant Notice and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan, this Agreement and the Grant Notice
as are consistent therewith and to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator will be final and binding upon Holder, the Company and all other interested persons.
To the extent allowable pursuant to Applicable Law, no member of the Committee or the Board will be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made with respect to the Plan, this Agreement or the Grant Notice. 

5.2 Whole Shares. The Option may only be exercised for whole shares of Stock. 

5.3 Option Not Transferable. 

(a) Subject to Section 5.3(b) hereof, the Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution, or, subject to the consent of the Administrator, pursuant to a DRO, unless and until the shares of Stock underlying the Option have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such shares of Stock have lapsed.
Neither the Option nor any interest or right therein or part thereof shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of Holder or his or her successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation,
pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any
attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence. 

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, with the consent of the Administrator, the Option may be transferred to, exercised
by and paid to one or more Permitted Transferees, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 10.3 of the Plan. Subject to such conditions and procedures as the Administrator may require, a Permitted Transferee may exercise the
Option or any portion therefor during the Holder’s lifetime. 
 5.4 Adjustments. The Administrator may accelerate the vesting of
all or a portion of the Option in such circumstances as it, in its sole discretion, may determine. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events relating to the Stock contemplated by Section 12.2 of the Plan (including, without limitation,
an extraordinary cash dividend on such Stock), the Administrator may make such adjustments as the Administrator deems appropriate in the number of shares of Stock subject to the Option, the exercise price of the Option and the kind of securities
that may be issued upon exercise of the Option. Holder acknowledges that the Option is subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and the Plan, including Section 12.2 of the Plan. 

5.5 Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company shall be addressed to the Company in care of the
Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal office, and any notice to be given to Holder shall be addressed to Holder (or, if Holder is then deceased, to the person entitled to exercise the Option pursuant to Section 4.1) at
Holder’s last address reflected on the Company’s records. By a notice given pursuant to this Section 5.5, either party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice shall be deemed duly
given when sent 

  
 A-6 

 
via email or when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited (with postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal
Service. 
 5.6 Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or
construction of this Agreement. 
 5.7 Governing Law. The laws of the State of Delaware shall govern the interpretation, validity,
administration, enforcement and performance of the terms of this Agreement regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflicts of laws. 

5.8 Conformity to Securities Laws. Holder acknowledges that the Plan, this Agreement and the Grant Notice are intended to conform to
the extent necessary with all Applicable Laws, including, without limitation, the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any and all regulations and rules promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission and state
securities laws and regulations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the Option is granted and may be exercised, only in such a manner as to conform to Applicable Law. To the extent permitted by
Applicable Law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to Applicable Law. 
 5.9 Tax
Representations. Holder has reviewed with Holder’s own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Grant Notice. Holder is relying solely
on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Holder understands that Holder (and not the Company) shall be responsible for Holder’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of this
investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 5.10 Amendment, Suspension and Termination. To the extent permitted
by the Plan, this Agreement may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Administrator or the Board, provided that, except as may otherwise be provided by the Plan,
no amendment, modification, suspension or termination of this Agreement shall adversely affect the Option in any material way without the prior written consent of Holder. 

5.11 Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 5.3 and the Plan, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs,
legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto. 
 5.12 Limitations Applicable to
Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if Holder is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the Option, the Grant Notice and this Agreement shall be subject to
any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the
application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule. 

5.13 Not a Contract of Employment. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon Holder any right to continue to serve as
an employee or other service provider of the Company or any Subsidiary or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services
of Holder 

  
 A-7 

 
at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary and Holder. 

5.14 Entire Agreement. The Plan, this Agreement and the Grant Notice (including any exhibit hereto) constitute the entire
agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Holder with respect to the subject matter hereof, including without limitation, the provisions of any employment agreement or offer
letter regarding equity awards to be awarded to Holder by the Company, or any other oral, implied or written promises, statements, understandings, undertakings or agreements by the Company or any of its representatives regarding equity awards to be
awarded to Holder by the Company. 
 5.15 Section 409A. This Award is not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred
compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (together with any Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that
may be issued after the date hereof, “Section 409A”). However, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, this Agreement and the Grant Notice, if at any time the Administrator determines that this Award (or
any portion thereof) may be subject to Section 409A, the Administrator shall have the right in its sole discretion (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify Holder or any other person for failure to do so) to adopt such amendments to the
Plan, this Agreement or the Grant Notice, or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate for
this Award either to be exempt from the application of Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.
 5.16
Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision of the Grant Notice or this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed to have any
effect on, the remaining provisions of the Grant Notice or this Agreement. 
 5.17 Limitation on Holder’s Rights. Participation
in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any
underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. Holder shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the Option, and rights no greater
than the right to receive the Stock as a general unsecured creditor with respect to options, as and when exercised pursuant to the terms hereof. 

5.18 Counterparts. The Grant Notice may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by way of any electronic signature, subject

4

and the other Credit Documents and will have identical terms as the 2016 Incremental Term Loans (including with respect to maturity date, Applicable Margin (as amended by Section 2 hereof), mandatory prepayments and voluntary prepayments), and shall otherwise be subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, including the borrowing mechanics set forth in Section 6 of the 2016 Incremental Joinder Agreement (provided, that all references to the Acquisition Closing Date therein shall be deemed to be references to the Amendment No. 6 Effective Date for purposes of this Agreement).
