April 9, 2010 
 Alliance
Resource Partners, L.P. 
 1717 South Boulder Avenue, Suite 400 

Tulsa, Oklahoma 74119 
 Attn: Chief
Financial Officer 
 Gentlemen: 

We are pleased to inform you that FIFTH THIRD BANK, an Ohio banking corporation (the “Bank”), will make available to
ALLIANCE RESOURCE PARTNERS, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Borrower”), an uncommitted unsecured line of credit for the issuance of letters of credit in a maximum aggregate available undrawn amount outstanding at any time
of up to Twenty Six Million One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($26,100,000.00), which may at any time and from time to time be requested by Borrower and issued by Bank in its sole discretion. 

The terms and conditions of this uncommitted line of credit and the Borrower’s obligations (including reimbursement obligations) with respect
thereto and each Letter of Credit are set forth in this agreement (the “Agreement”) as follows: 

1.    Letters of Credit 

1.1    Facility. Subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank hereby
establishes on the date hereof an uncommitted line of credit facility in favor of the Borrower of up to Twenty Six Million One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($26,100,000.00) (the “Maximum Credit Amount”) for the
issuance of letters of credit from time to time. 
 1.2    Letters of Credit.
(a) Borrower may from time to time, request Bank to issue letters of credit from Bank, but in no event shall the aggregate maximum amount available to be drawn under the outstanding letters of credit exceed $26,100,000 (the “Letters of
Credit” and individually a “Letter of Credit”) at any one time, unless otherwise agreed to by the Bank. The Letters of Credit shall be in favor of such beneficiaries and for such purposes as an authorized representative of Borrower
specifies, shall have such expiration dates as Bank and Borrower agree (provided, however, that Bank and Borrower may agree to have expiration dates that extend beyond the term of this Agreement and may further agree that a Letter of Credit is
renewed automatically for a stated period of time unless Bank, as the issuer of such Letter of Credit, provides at least 90 days advance notice to the beneficiary thereof that such Letter of Credit shall not be automatically renewed), and shall
otherwise be in such form and substance as Bank and Borrower agree. 
 (b)    All drawings or advances
rightfully made to the holders of the Letters of Credit (a “Drawing”) will be reimbursed by the Borrower to the Bank on the same day of such Drawing, provided notice of such Drawing is given to Borrower no later than 12:00 p.m. Cincinnati,
Ohio time on a Banking Day and if notice is provided after such time, Borrower shall reimburse Bank no later than 11:00 a.m. Cincinnati, Ohio time on the next Banking Day. Any Drawing that is not reimbursed within the period described in this
Section 1(b) shall be considered an outstanding loan hereunder (“Loan”), subject to Section 2 of this Agreement. In this Agreement, “Banking Day” shall mean any day other than Saturday or Sunday or any other day on
which commercial banks in Cincinnati, Ohio are authorized to be closed under federal law. 
 (c)    The
Borrower shall pay the Bank, in respect of each outstanding Letter of Credit issued pursuant to the provisions hereof, on a quarterly basis in arrears, a maintenance fee per annum based upon the average aggregate amount available to be drawn under
each Letter of Credit outstanding during such period and computed based upon the Schedule attached as Exhibit A (the “Pricing 

 
Grid”). The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Letters of Credit previously issued by Bank and outstanding as of the date hereof, which Letters of Credit are listed on Exhibit B
attached hereto, shall be deemed to be issued pursuant to this Agreement and governed by the provisions hereof. 

(d)    The obligations of Borrower to Bank under this Agreement with respect to the Letters of Credit shall be
absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever. However, the foregoing shall not excuse Bank from liability to Borrower in any
independent action or proceeding brought by Borrower against Bank to the extent of any damages suffered by Borrower that are caused by Bank’s negligence or willful misconduct. 

(e)    If any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof instituted after the date hereof by
any court or administrative agency shall either (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by Bank or (ii) impose on Bank any other condition regarding this
Agreement or the Letters of Credit (other than changes in the rates of income taxation generally applicable to any bank), and the result of any such event shall be to increase the costs of Bank for issuing or maintaining the Letters of Credit (which
increases in cost shall be determined by Bank’s reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such cost increases resulting from such event(s), other than increases which result solely from Bank’s acts or omissions, then (a) Bank shall so
notify Borrower in writing and (b) upon receipt of such written notice from Bank, Borrower shall pay to Bank, from time to time as specified by Bank, but in no event sooner than ten days from the date of receipt of such notice, additional
amounts which shall be sufficient to reasonably compensate Bank for such increased costs, together with interest on each such amount from the date such payment was due until payment in full thereof at the rate applicable thereto. Bank shall submit
to Borrower a certificate (i) setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of the increased cost incurred by Bank as a result of any such event and (ii) with a representation that such increased costs are being charged to Bank’s
other letter of credit customers. Such certificate shall be prima facie evidence, absent manifest error, as to the amount of such increased costs incurred. Bank’s computation of any amounts due from Borrower hereunder shall be determined on a
reasonable good faith basis. 
 (f)    Any action taken or omitted by Bank, under or in connection with the
Letters of Credit or sight drafts or documents relating thereto, if taken or omitted without negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding upon Borrower and shall not result in Bank having any liability to Borrower. Neither the Bank nor any of
its respective officers or directors will be liable or responsible for: (a) the use which may be made of the Letters of Credit or for any acts or omissions of the beneficiaries and any permitted transferee in connection therewith; (b) the
validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement(s) thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) any other circumstances whatsoever in
making or failing to make payment under the Letters of Credit, other than damages suffered by Borrower that Borrower proves were caused by (i) Bank’s willful misconduct or negligence in determining whether a sight draft or other documents
presented under the Letters of Credit comply with the terms of the Letters of Credit or (ii) Bank’s willful or negligent failure to pay under the Letters of Credit after the presentation to it by the holder thereof (or a permitted
successor to whom the Letters of Credit have been transferred in accordance with their terms) of a sight draft and documents strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the
foregoing, Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation. 

(g)    Borrower hereby agrees at all times to protect, defend, indemnify, save and hold harmless Bank from and
against any and all claims, actions, suits and other legal proceedings (“Third Party Claims”) which is made or initiated by a third party, and from and against any and all losses, claims, demands, liabilities, damages, charges, counsel
fees, interest and penalties and other expenses (“Damages”) which Bank may, at any time, sustain or incur by reason of or in consequence of or arising out of the Letters of Credit or the use (or the proposed or potential use) of the
proceeds of any drawing under the Letters of Credit; provided that Borrower shall not be required to indemnify, protect, defend or save or hold harmless Bank for, from or against any Third Party Claims or Damages to the extent, but only to the
extent, caused by the willful misconduct or negligence of Bank. 
  

 2 

 (h)    Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Bank shall not, in any
way, be liable for any failure by Bank to pay any sight draft under a Letter of Credit as a result of any act of a governmental authority or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Bank. 

(i)    Borrower shall pay to Bank all reasonable and customary letter of credit application fees and other issuance,
amendment or negotiation and presentment expenses and related charges in connection with the issuance, amendment or presentation of Letters of Credit. 

1.3    Term of Uncommitted Facility. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless and
until canceled by Bank or Borrower at any time, on not less than sixty (60) days’ prior written notice; provided, however, that any obligations of the Borrower and the Bank pursuant to this Agreement which shall be outstanding as of the
effective date of such termination shall not be affected thereby. With regard to any Letters of Credit which remain outstanding as of the date of termination of this Agreement, the Bank agrees that such Letters of Credit shall remain outstanding
until their stated expiration date(s). 
 2.    Interest on any Loans. 

2.1    Accrual and Payment of Interest. 

(a)    The principal sum outstanding under each Loan shall bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to 3.00%
in excess of the one month “LIBOR Rate” (the “Interest Rate”). The LIBOR Rate is the rate of interest (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/8 of 1% and adjusted for reserves if Bank is required to maintain reserves with
respect to relevant advances) fixed by the British Bankers’ Association at 11:00 a.m., London time, relating to quotations for the one month London InterBank Offered Rates on U.S. Dollar deposits, as applicable, as published on Bloomberg
LP, or, if no longer provided by Bloomberg LP, such rate as shall be determined in good faith by the Bank from such sources as it shall determine to be comparable to Bloomberg LP (or any successor) as reasonably determined by Bank at approximately
10:00 a.m. Cincinnati, Ohio time on the relevant date of determination. The Interest Rate shall initially be determined as of the date of the initial advance of funds to Borrower under a Loan and shall be adjusted each 30 days thereafter. Interest
shall be calculated based on a 360-day year and charged for the actual number of days elapsed. 
 (b)    In
addition, notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, if, prior to or during any period with respect to the LIBOR Rate, any change in any law, regulation or official directive, or in the interpretation thereof, by any governmental
body charged with the administration thereof, shall make it unlawful for Bank to fund or maintain its funding in Eurodollars of any portion of the advance subject to the LIBOR Rate or otherwise to give effect to Bank’s obligations as
contemplated hereby: (i) Bank may, by written notice to Borrower, declare Bank’s obligations in respect of the LIBOR Rate to be terminated forthwith, and (ii) the LIBOR Rate with respect to Bank shall forthwith cease to be in effect,
and interest shall from and after such date be calculated at the Bank’s “Prime Rate”, and interest shall be paid on the first (1st) day of each calendar month. Borrower’s right to utilize LIBOR Rate Index Pricing as set
forth in this Agreement shall be terminated automatically if Bank, by prior written notice, shall notify Borrower that one month LIBOR Rates are not readily available in the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate Market, or that, by reason of circumstances
affecting such Market, adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining the rate of interest applicable to such deposits. In such event, amounts outstanding hereunder shall bear interest at a rate equal to Bank’s Prime Rate or such
other rate of interest as may be agreed to between Bank and Borrower. 
 (c)    Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the interest rate charged on the Loans exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable state and/or federal usury laws. Any payment of interest that would be deemed
unlawful under applicable laws for any reason shall be deemed received on account of, and will automatically be applied to reduce, the principal sum outstanding and any other sums (other than interest) due and payable to Bank,

  

 3 

 
and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for the highest rate of interest permitted under applicable law. 

2.2    Manner and Place. Unless the Bank otherwise directs in writing, all payments and prepayments
under this Agreement shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or deduction, in lawful currency of the United States of America and in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. Ohio time, to the Bank’s office at 38 Fountain Square
Plaza, Cincinnati, Ohio 45263. 
 3.    Conditions Precedent. 

a.    The effectiveness of this Agreement is subject in all respects to satisfaction of the following conditions
precedent in form and substance and in a manner satisfactory to the Bank and its counsel: (i) Bank shall have received certified copies of all company action taken by Borrower, including resolutions adopted by its managing general partner,
authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and such other documents relating to the Letters of Credit and the transactions contemplated hereby (including any letter of credit application form) as Bank shall reasonably
require (this Agreement and such other documents are referred to herein collectively as the “Letter of Credit Documents”); (ii) Bank shall have received a certificate from an officer of Borrower (or its managing general partner) as to
the incumbency and signatures of the officers of Borrower (or its managing general partner) authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Letter of Credit Documents; (iii) Bank shall have received copies of the Borrower’s
certificate of limited partnership, limited partnership agreement or other governing instruments as currently in effect, certified to be correct and complete by one of Borrower’s (or its managing general partner’s) authorized officers; and
(iv) Bank shall have received copies of any other documents that it may reasonably request relating to the existence of the Borrower, the authority or the validity of this Agreement and any other matters relevant hereto, all in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Bank. 
 b.    The issuance of any Letter of Credit which Bank
chooses to issue hereunder, shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following additional conditions precedent on and as of the date such Letter of Credit is issued and after giving effect thereto: (i) all of Borrower’s representations
and warranties contained herein are correct and complete; and (ii) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Whenever Borrower requests the issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder, Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and

 4.1    Organization Qualification Power and Authority. Borrower: (i) is duly

shall constitute, Borrower’s legal, valid, and binding obligations, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles. Borrower’s execution, delivery and performance of the Letter of Credit Documents does not and will not: (i) require any action or consent of, or any registration or filing
with, any governmental body or other person or entity that has not already been obtained (each, with respect to Borrower); (ii) violate or conflict with, or create a breach or default under (a) Borrower’s certificate of limited
partnership, limited partnership agreement or other governing instruments or (b) any agreement, 
  

 4 

 
judgment, order, law or regulation to which Borrower is a party or by which it is bound which default would have a material adverse effect on the Borrower’s ability to perform its
obligations hereunder, or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon its assets or revenues, except for any created by the Letter of Credit Documents. 

All of the foregoing representations and warranties shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement. 

5.    Covenants.

results of operations for Borrower, as of the dates thereof and for the period then ended. 

5.2    Corporate Existence and Good Standing. Borrower shall maintain (i) its legal existence in
its State of formation, (ii) its qualification, or registration and good standing in all jurisdictions in which failure to qualify would have a materially adverse effect on the Borrower’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder and

5.3    Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Borrower shall comply with the terms and provisions of each
material statute, law, regulation, ordinance, judgment, order, or decree applicable to it and each contract, mortgage, lien, lease, indenture, instrument, agreement or document to which it is a party or bound, except where the necessity of
compliance is contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on the Borrower’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder. 

5.4    Future Assurances. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Bank, upon request, such documents and
agreements as Bank may, from time to time, reasonably request to carry out the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

“Event of Default”) hereunder: (a) the Borrower fails to reimburse the Bank for any Drawing within 5 days after the date due; (b) any representation or warranty made by the Borrower herein or in any written
statement or certificate furnished by the Borrower to Bank at any time pursuant to this Agreement shall prove to have been untrue in any material respect when made unless such breach is cured within 30 days after Bank notifies Borrower in writing of
such breach provided such breach is capable of being cured within such 30-day period; (c) the Borrower defaults in any material respect in the observance or performance of or breaches in any material respect any covenant or agreement herein and

 6.2    Remedies. Upon the

payable, in which event such principal, interest and other obligations shall become immediately due and payable to the Bank without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived, anything in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding and (ii) cease issuing Letters of Credit hereunder. Upon the occurrence of an event described in clause (e), (f), (g) or (h) of Section 6.1 above, the amount then outstanding hereunder

7.    Limitations on Bank Liability. 

Except as provided for in Section 1.2(f) of this Agreement, the Bank shall not be responsible to the Borrower for, and the
Bank’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by: 
 (1)    action or inaction
of the Bank required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to a Letter of Credit or this Agreement (including the law or any order of a jurisdiction where the Bank, any advising, transferring,
confirming, or nominated bank or person, or the beneficiary is located and the practice stated in the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) Publication No. 600
(“UCP 600”), to the extent the UCP 600 is made applicable to a specific Letter of Credit, International Standby Practices, ICC Publication No. 590 (“ISP98”), to the extent the ISP98 is made
applicable to a specific Letter of Credit, and the decisions, opinions, practice statements, and official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the International Financial Services Association, and the Institute of International Banking
Law & Practice, as applicable). 
 (2)    action or inaction of the Bank required or permitted
under Ohio law, and, for any Letter of Credit, under ISP98, even if the Letter of Credit chooses other law or if such Letter of Credit chooses other practice, 

(3)    honor without regard to any non-documentary condition(s) in a Letter of Credit, 

(4)    honor or other recognition of a presentation or other demand that includes forged or fraudulent documents or
that is otherwise affected by the fraudulent, bad faith, or illegal conduct 
  

 6 

 
of the beneficiary or other person (excluding employees of the Bank and any processing agent engaged by the Bank), whether or not the Borrower is innocent and obtains no benefit, 

(5)    dishonor of any presentation that does not strictly comply or that is fraudulent, forged, or otherwise not
entitled to honor, 
 (6)    dishonor which is authorized by the Borrower or for which the Borrower is
unwilling or unable to reimburse the Bank, 
 (7)    payment to a nominated person that does not give value
or that misrepresents the basis on which it claims reimbursement or otherwise wrongfully claims, receives, or retains a payment made by the Bank under a Letter of Credit, whether or not the Bank receives complying documents, claims a refund, or
undertakes to recover the payment made by the Bank, 
 (8)    non-notification to the Borrower of the
Bank’s receipt of a presentation or claim for reimbursement under a Letter of Credit or of the Bank’s disposition thereof and, if the Bank in its sole discretion approaches the Borrower for a waiver of discrepancies, dishonor regardless of
the Borrower’s waiver of discrepancies or request for honor, or 
 (9)    retention of Letter of Credit
proceeds based on a valid exercise of the Bank’s set off rights or on an apparently applicable attachment order, blocking regulation, or third-party claim notified to the Bank, 

8. Bank Discretion. 

a.    The Bank may for the Borrower’s account at any time provide in the Letter of Credit or otherwise agree to
do or do the following: 
 (1)    send a Letter of Credit via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial
Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) network and bind the Borrower directly and as indemnifier to the rules applicable to SWIFT messages (including rules obligating the Borrower or the Bank to pay bank charges), 

(2)    assert or waive or, with any necessary consent from the beneficiary or other person, amend any provision in a
Letter of Credit or applicable practice that primarily concerns issuer operations (including (i) identification of a Letter of Credit in any presentation, (ii) marking of a Letter of Credit to reflect a transfer, payment, or other action,
(iii) specification of the banking days and hours, manner, and place for the Bank’s receiving a presentation, effecting honor, and giving notice of dishonor under a Letter of Credit, (iv) duration of the period(s) for examination,
approaching the Borrower for a waiver, or sending a notice of refusal, (v) disposition of the beneficiary’s documents after dishonor or while approaching the Borrower for a waiver, and (vi) replacement of a lost Letter of Credit or
recognition of a successor beneficiary), 
 (3)    discount an accepted draft or defer a payment undertaking
incurred under a Letter of Credit, at the request of the beneficiary or other third party, without affecting the amount or due date of the Borrower’s obligations to reimburse or pay fees to the Bank, or to reimburse the Bank for the discounted
draft amount or deferred payment, 
 (4)    select any branch or office of the Bank or any affiliate of the
Bank or of any other bank or financial institution or affiliate thereof to act as advising, transferring, confirming, and/or nominated bank or person under the law and practice of the place where it acts (if a Letter of Credit permits advice,
transfer, confirmation, and/or nomination) or to act under contract with the Bank as letter of credit processing agent for the Bank in the Bank’s issuance of a Letter of Credit or processing of demands or in any other action that the Bank is
required or permitted to take under any Letter of Credit, 
  

 7 

 (5)    honor any presentation that substantially complies with the terms
and conditions of a Letter of Credit, whether or not such Letter of Credit requires strict or literal compliance (including honor of a draft that is non-negotiable or informal, honor up to the amount available under such Letter of Credit of a demand
claiming more than that amount, honor of documents that include inconsistent extraneous data, and allowance of a grace period of 1 Banking Day for timing requirements under such Letter of Credit), and 

(6)    provide for or submit to arbitration, mediation, DOCDEX (the ICC Banking Commission’s informal dispute
resolution service), or the like for the resolution of some or all disputes with the beneficiary or other person. 

b.    Unless specifically committed to do so in a writing signed by the Bank, the Bank need not consent to any Letter
of Credit amendment. If a Letter of Credit may be extended or terminated by a notice given or other action taken by the Bank (with or without the passage of time), then, whether or not requested to do so by the Borrower, the Bank shall have the
right to give such notice or take such action, or to fail or refuse to do so. If the Bank gives such notice or takes such action at the Borrower’s request, then the Borrower shall obtain the beneficiary’s acknowledgement thereof and, in
the case of Letter of Credit termination, request that the beneficiary return the original Letter of Credit. If the Bank fails or refuses to give a notice of non-extension or termination at the Borrower’s timely written request, then the
Bank’s Letter of Credit fees shall be calculated as if the Bank had given such notice or taken such action. 

c.    If the beneficiary or another person claims that the Bank has wrongfully repudiated or dishonored, then the
Bank shall have the right to defend or settle the claim, with or without joining Borrower in any proceeding or negotiation and without regard to whether the claimant asserts that the Bank is precluded from relying on a valid defense, and Borrower
shall have the obligation to take all reasonable actions to mitigate damages and, if the Bank pays or settles (with the prior written consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, in the case of
any settlement of a claim), to (a) reimburse and indemnify the Bank, subject to the exclusions of indemnification specified in Section 14 of this Agreement except for those instances where (i) otherwise agreed to by the parties hereto
or (ii) such settlement or payment provides that Borrower need not reimburse or indemnify Borrower to some extent, and (b) account for any benefits, and cooperate with the Bank as subrogee. 

d.    If goods arrive before the Bank receives and either honors or dishonors the relevant presentation under a
commercial Letter of Credit, then, upon the Borrower’s request or the Bank’s good faith decision to protect its interest, the Bank may in its sole discretion issue for the Borrower’s account a separate guaranty, indemnity, or other
undertaking to the carrier to induce delivery of the goods. If the Bank so issues its undertaking, then the Borrower shall be absolutely precluded from raising any defense or claim with respect to the Bank’s subsequent honor of the related
documents (except by way of injunction action based on forgery or fraud in which the Bank is fully protected by injunction bond with respect to its undertaking to the carrier as well as its Letter of Credit). The Bank’s undertaking to the
carrier, or any similar undertaking, shall be treated as arising out of this Agreement (and therefore covered by the provisions on Indemnity in this Agreement). 

e.    The Bank’s agreement to use, or its use of, its discretion in one or more instances shall not waive its
right, with or without notice to the Borrower, to use its discretion differently in other similar instances and shall not establish a course of conduct on which the Borrower may rely in any other instances under the same or other Letter of Credit.

 9.    Borrower’s Responsibility for Letter of Credit Text and Practice.

 a.    The Borrower is responsible for preparing or approving the text of a Letter of Credit as submitted
to and as issued by the Bank and as received by the beneficiary. The Bank’s recommendation or drafting of text, or the Bank’s use or, provided any change or Letter of Credit form has been approved by the Borrower, the Bank’s non-use
or refusal to use text submitted by the Borrower shall not affect the Borrower’s ultimate responsibility for the final text. The Borrower is responsible for the Bank’s failure to apply, or to observe standard practice as applied to, any
Letter of Credit terms or conditions that (i) are 
  

 8 

 
erroneous, ambiguous, inconsistent, insufficient, ineffective, or illegal, (ii) require the Bank to respond to a demand in fewer than 3 Banking Days, or (iii) require the Borrower to
sign, issue, or present a document. 
 b.    The Borrower is responsible for knowing applicable letter of
credit law and practice. UCP 600 and ISP98 may be viewed on the United Nations website: http://www.uncitral.org/uncitral/en/other organizations texts.html. They and other published letter of credit law and practice materials are available
from the Bank and from other sources: http://www.ifsaonline.org/Publications/Docs/Reasonable Time Statement of Practice .pdf, www.iccbooksusa.com, and www.liblp.org 

10.    Limitations on Remedies. 

a.    Except as may be expressly provided in this Agreement, the Bank shall not be liable to the Borrower in
contract, tort, or otherwise for any special, indirect, consequential, or punitive damages. 
 b.    The
Borrower must take all reasonable actions to mitigate and reduce the amount of damages to be claimed against the Bank. 

c.    If the Bank honors a presentation under or in connection with a Letter of Credit for which the Borrower claims
it is not obligated to reimburse or indemnify the Bank, the Borrower shall nonetheless pay to the Bank the amount the Bank paid, without prejudice to the Borrower’s claims against the Bank to recover any Bank fees and costs paid by the Borrower
with respect to the honored presentation plus any direct damages that the Borrower is unable to avoid or reduce. Damages attributable to honor of a presentation that appears on its face to be non-complying are indirect damages, for which the Bank is
not responsible, unless the discrepancies in the presentation reflect corresponding defects in the beneficiary’s performance in the underlying transaction or if the Bank’s honoring of such non-complying presentation results from the
Bank’s negligence or willful misconduct. Damages attributable to a change in the market value of any goods, services, document of title, instrument, foreign currency, or other property for which payment is supported by a Letter of Credit,
except changes resulting from the beneficiary’s changed credit standing or occurring while the Bank wrongfully retains the documents, are indirect damages, and damages attributable to honor of a forged or fraudulent presentation are indirect
damages for which the Borrower is responsible to the Bank, whether or not the presentation appears on its face to be complying. 

d.    The Borrower’s aggregate remedies against the Bank for honoring a presentation or retaining honored
documents in breach of the Bank’s obligations to the Borrower (whether arising under this Agreement, applicable letter of credit practice or law, or any other agreement or law) are limited to the aggregate amounts paid by the Borrower to the
Bank with respect to the honored presentation and, subject to Borrower’s obligations pursuant to Section 10.b above, the amount wrongfully paid to the beneficiary under a Letter of Credit. 

e.    In any dispute or litigation between the Borrower and the Bank, the Borrower must pay the Bank’s
reasonable attorney’s fees, expert witness fees, and other expenses of litigation or dispute resolution, except to the extent the Borrower prevails in obtaining an award of damages disputed by the Bank. The Borrowers’ prevailing in an
action based on forgery or fraud of the beneficiary or other presenter does not relieve the Borrower from its obligation to pay the Bank’s fees and expenses in contesting the entry or maintenance of injunctive relief. 

11.    Borrower Status. 

The undersigned Borrower represents, warrants and covenants on a continuing basis, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, that

 (1)    it acts for itself and for no other person in requesting issuance of any Letter of Credit for its
account, 
  

 9 

 (2)    it may be identified in a Letter of Credit as the
“Borrower”, “account party”, or “customer” at whose request and on whose instruction and for whose account the Letter of Credit is issued, it being understood that a Letter of Credit issued hereunder may be issued for
the account of the Borrower but in respect of an obligation of Borrower or any subsidiary thereof, 

(3)    it alone (acting through any of the individuals identified in this Agreement as its authorized agents) may
authorize the Bank to issue, amend, pay, or otherwise act under any Letter of Credit, and 
 (4)    it alone
has standing to enforce this Agreement or otherwise to assert the rights and remedies of a Borrower, including to sue for an injunction against honor of any Letter of Credit. 

12.    Additional Borrowers. 

a.    If this Agreement is signed by another person as an additional Borrower or if an application requesting
issuance of a particular Letter of Credit is signed by another person, or if a particular Letter of Credit names another person as a Borrower with that other person’s consent, then that other person shall thereby become jointly and severally
obligated as a Borrower under this Agreement to the same extent as the (first) undersigned Borrower, as applied to every or the particular Letter of Credit, as the case may be; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit that names therein, or is
issued to secure an obligation of, a subsidiary of the Borrower shall not result in such subsidiary becoming jointly and severally obligated as a Borrower under this Agreement unless such subsidiary has specifically agreed in writing (other than in
such Letter of Credit) to become so jointly and severally obligated as a Borrower under this Agreement. The additional Borrower thereby assumes the payment obligations and other responsibilities of the Borrower, makes the warranties of the Borrower
(which may require that the Borrower and/or additional Borrower obtain waivers with respect to some of the warranties in the preceding paragraph), accepts the consequences of an Event of Default as applied to itself, accepts the binding effect on it
of action or omission by, or notice to, another Borrower, and waives all defenses based on suretyship. EACH ADDITIONAL BORROWER ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF the limitations on remedies, governing law, forum, jurisdiction, and JURY WAIVER in this
Agreement. 
 b.    The (first) undersigned Borrower (i) assures the Bank that any other person
that signs as an additional Borrower or that is named in a Letter of Credit as Borrower shall be obligated to the Bank as provided above, (ii) accepts the effect on it of action or omission by, or notice to, another Borrower, and
(iii) waives all defenses based on suretyship. The (first) undersigned Borrower waives any objections it may have if the Bank, in the Bank’s discretion, recognizes an additional Borrower as having the right, alone or with the (first)
undersigned Borrower, to act as the Borrower with respect to the affected Letter of Credit. 

13.    Successors and Assigns; Expanded Meaning of “Bank”. 

a.    This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Bank and their respective
permitted successors and assigns. The Borrower shall not assign its obligations under this Agreement, and no such assignment shall be effective to release the Borrower of liability or to obligate the Bank to recognize the purported assignee, except
to the extent the Bank may expressly consent in a signed writing. 
 b.    For purposes of this Agreement,
the “Bank” includes Fifth Third Bank, an Ohio banking corporation, with International Trade Services and SWIFT membership, in Cincinnati, Ohio, together with its parent Fifth Third Bancorp, whose principal office is located in Cincinnati,
Ohio, and any subsidiary or controlled affiliate of Fifth Third Bancorp located in the United States including any branch or office thereof located in the United States that is controlled by Fifth Third Bancorp that either (i) maintains a
customer relationship with, and receives this Agreement from, the undersigned Borrower or (ii) acts as issuer and is named as such in any Letter of Credit. Each such Bank may delegate and assign part or all of its obligations and rights to the
other(s), in addition to such Bank’s rights to request others to act as a 
  

 10 

 
nominated person or as a letter of credit processing agent. The Borrower acknowledges that Fifth Third Bank, 38 Fountain Square Plaza, Cincinnati, Ohio may appropriately act as issuer or as
letter of credit processing agent (with or without disclosure in the Letter of Credit) for an affiliated Bank issuer of any Letter of Credit. 

c.    With the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned), the Bank may grant participations in or assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to one or more domestic banks or financial institutions which shall, to the extent the Bank so notifies the Borrower,
be substituted for the Bank with respect to the assigned rights. The Bank may disclose credit and other information regarding the Borrower (and any non-Borrower guarantor) and this Agreement to any permitted (actual or prospective) assignee or
participant; provided such assignee or participant agrees to keep confidentially any non-public information of the Borrower or its subsidiaries. 

14.    Indemnity. Borrower shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend, pay and
hold Bank harmless from and against any and all Third Party Claims and Damages which Bank may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of any breach by Borrower of any warranty, covenant, term or condition in, or the occurrence
of any default by Borrower under this Agreement or any other Letter of Credit Document, except to the extent that any of the foregoing shall have resulted from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Bank. 

15.    Notices. Except as expressly provided herein any notice or other communication given hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be delivered against receipt, or mailed by registered or certified mail return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or transmitted by facsimile with confirmation of successful transmittal thereof and addressed to the
party to be notified as follows, or to such other address as such party may designate by like notice:

 2.
Definitions. The following definitions shall apply as used herein and in the individual Award Agreements except as defined otherwise in an individual Award Agreement. In the event a term is separately defined in an individual Award Agreement,
such definition shall supercede the definition contained in this Section 2.

(e) “Award” means the grant of an Option, SAR, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit or other right or
benefit under the Plan.

grant of an Award executed by the Company and the Grantee, including any amendments thereto. 
 (g)
“Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company. 
 (h) “Cause” means, with
respect to the termination by the Company or a Related Entity of the Grantee’s Continuous Service, that such termination is for “Cause” as such term (or word of like import) is expressly defined in a then-effective written agreement
between the Grantee and the Company or such Related Entity, or in the absence of such then-effective written agreement and definition, is based on, in the determination of the Administrator, the Grantee’s: (i) performance of any act or
failure to perform any act in bad faith and to the detriment of the Company or a Related Entity; (ii) dishonesty, intentional misconduct or material breach of any agreement with the Company or a Related Entity; or (iii) commission of a
crime involving dishonesty, breach of trust, or physical or emotional harm to any person; provided, however, that with regard to any agreement that defines “Cause” on the occurrence of or in connection with a Corporate Transaction or a
Change in Control, such definition of “Cause” shall not apply until a Corporate Transaction or a Change in Control actually occurs. 

(i) “Change in Control” means a change in ownership or control of the Company effected through either of
the following transactions: 
 (i) the direct or indirect acquisition by any person or related group of persons
(other than an acquisition from or by the Company or by a Company-sponsored employee benefit plan or by a person that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Company) of beneficial ownership (within
the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) of securities possessing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding securities pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made directly to the
Company’s stockholders which a majority of the Continuing Directors who are not Affiliates or Associates of the offeror do not recommend such stockholders accept, or 

 (ii) a change in the composition of the Board over a period of twelve

Board members continuously for a period of at least twelve (12) months or (ii) have been Board members for less than twelve (12) months and were elected or nominated for election as Board members by at least a majority of the Board
members described in clause (i) who were still in office at the time such election or nomination was approved by the Board. 

(p) “Continuous Service” means that the provision of services to the Company or a Related Entity in any
capacity of Employee, Director or Consultant is not interrupted or terminated. In jurisdictions requiring notice in advance of an effective termination as an Employee, Director or Consultant, Continuous Service shall be deemed terminated upon the
actual cessation of providing services to the Company or a Related Entity notwithstanding any required notice period that must be fulfilled before a termination as an Employee, Director or Consultant can be effective under Applicable Laws. A
Grantee’s Continuous Service shall be deemed to have terminated either upon an actual termination of Continuous Service or upon the entity for which the Grantee provides services ceasing to be a Related Entity. Continuous Service shall not be
considered interrupted in the case of (i) any approved leave of absence, (ii) transfers among the Company, any Related Entity, or any successor, in any capacity of Employee, Director or Consultant, or (iii) any change in status as
long as the individual remains in the service of the Company or a Related Entity in any capacity of Employee, Director or Consultant (except as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise determined
by the Administrator, in the event of any spin-off of a Related Entity, service as an Employee, Director or Consultant for such Related Entity following such spin-off shall be deemed to be Continuous Service for purposes of the Plan and any Award
under the Plan. An approved leave of absence shall include sick leave, military leave, or any other authorized personal leave. For purposes of each Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan, if such leave exceeds three (3) months, and
reemployment upon expiration of such leave is not guaranteed by statute or contract, then the Incentive Stock Option shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option on the day three (3) months and one (1) day following the expiration of
such three (3) month period.

(iv) any reverse merger or series of related transactions culminating in a reverse merger (including, but not limited to,

whether in the form of securities, cash or otherwise, or (B) in which securities possessing more than forty percent (40%) of the total combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding securities are transferred to a person or
persons different from those who held such securities immediately prior to such merger or the initial transaction culminating in such merger; or 

(v) acquisition in a single or series of related transactions by any person or related group of persons (other than the

Company’s outstanding securities but excluding any such transaction or series of related transactions that the Administrator determines shall not be a Corporate Transaction.

(u) “Employee” means any person, including an Officer or Director, who is in the employ of the Company or
any Related Entity, subject to the control and direction of the Company or any Related Entity as to both the work to be performed and the manner and method of performance. The payment of a director’s fee by the Company or a Related Entity shall

means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 
 (w) “Fair Market Value” means, as of
any date, the value of Common Stock determined as follows:

sales price for such stock (or the closing bid, if no sales were reported) as quoted on the principal exchange or system on which the Common Stock is listed (as determined by the Administrator) on the date of determination (or, if no closing sales
price or closing bid was reported on that date, as applicable, on the last trading date such closing sales price or closing bid was reported), as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Administrator deems reliable;

 (ii) If the Common Stock is regularly quoted on an automated quotation system (including the OTC Bulletin
Board) or by a recognized securities dealer, its Fair Market Value shall be the closing sales price for such stock as quoted on such system or by such securities dealer on the date of determination, but if selling prices are not reported, the Fair
Market Value of a share of Common Stock shall be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices for the Common Stock on the date of determination (or, if no such prices were reported on that date, on the last date such prices were reported), as
reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Administrator deems reliable; or 

 (iii) In the absence of an established market for the Common Stock of the

Company’s 1997 Stock Plan (the “1997 Plan”) and the Company’s 2001 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the “2001 Nonstatutory Plan”) as a result of forfeiture, termination or expiration of awards previously granted under
each of the 1997 Plan and the 2001 Nonstatutory Plan (ignoring the termination or expiration of such plans for the purpose of determining the number of shares available under the plan); provided, however, that the maximum aggregate number of shares

issued under the Plan pursuant to an Award shall not be returned to the Plan and shall not become available for future issuance under the Plan, except that if unvested Shares are forfeited, or repurchased by the Company at the lower of their
original purchase price or their Fair Market Value at the time of repurchase, such Shares shall become available for future grant under the Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: (i) Shares tendered or withheld in
payment of an Option exercise price shall not be returned to the Plan and shall not become available for future issuance under the Plan; (ii) Shares withheld by the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligation shall not be returned to the

approval at the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company in 2008 (the “Exchange Program”) and that are not replaced by an equal number of replacement options under the Exchange Program shall not be returned to the Plan and shall not
become available for future issuance under the Plan. 
 4. Administration of the Plan. 

(a) Plan Administrator. 

(i) Administration with Respect to Directors and Officers. With respect to grants of Awards to Directors or
Employees who are also Officers or Directors of the Company, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee designated by the Board, which Committee shall be constituted in such a manner as to satisfy the Applicable
Laws and to permit such grants and related transactions under the Plan to be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act in accordance with Rule 16b-3. Once appointed, such Committee shall continue to serve in its designated capacity until
otherwise directed by the Board. 
 (ii) Administration With Respect to Consultants and Other Employees.
With respect to grants of Awards to Employees or Consultants who are neither Directors nor Officers of the Company, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee designated by the Board, which Committee shall be
constituted in such a manner as to satisfy the Applicable Laws. Once appointed, such Committee shall continue to serve in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board. The Board may authorize one or more Officers to grant such
Awards and may limit such authority as the Board determines from time to time. 
 (iii) Administration With
Respect to Covered Employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, grants of Awards to any Covered Employee intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation shall be made only by a Committee (or subcommittee of a Committee) which is comprised
solely of two or more Directors eligible to serve on a committee making Awards qualifying as Performance-Based Compensation. In the case of such Awards granted to Covered Employees, references to the “Administrator” or to a
“Committee” shall be deemed to be references to such Committee or subcommittee. 

 (iv) Administration Errors. In the event an Award is granted in a
manner inconsistent with the provisions of this subsection (a), such Award shall be presumptively valid as of its grant date to the extent permitted by the Applicable Laws. 

(b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to Applicable Laws and the provisions of the Plan (including any other
powers given to the Administrator hereunder ), and except as otherwise provided by the Board, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion: 

(i) to select the Employees, Directors and Consultants to whom Awards may be granted from time to time hereunder;

 (ii) to determine whether and to what extent Awards are granted hereunder; 

(iii) to determine the number of Shares or the amount of other consideration to be covered by each Award granted
hereunder; 
 (iv) to approve forms of Award Agreements for use under the Plan; 

(v) to determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted hereunder; 

(vi) to amend the terms of any outstanding Award granted under the Plan, provided that (A) any amendment that would
adversely affect the Grantee’s rights under an outstanding Award shall not be made without the Grantee’s written consent, provided, however, that an amendment or modification that may cause an Incentive Stock Option to become a
Non-Qualified Stock Option shall not be treated as adversely affecting the rights of the Grantee, (B) the reduction of the exercise price of any Option awarded under the Plan and the base appreciation amount of any SAR awarded under the Plan
shall be subject to stockholder approval and (C) canceling an Option or SAR at a time when its exercise price or base appreciation amount (as applicable) exceeds the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares, in exchange for another Option,
SAR, Restricted Stock, or other Award shall be subject to stockholder approval, unless the cancellation and exchange occurs in connection with a Corporate Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, canceling an Option or SAR in exchange for another
Option, SAR, Restricted Stock, or other Award with an exercise price, purchase price or base appreciation amount (as applicable) that is equal to or greater than the exercise price or base appreciation amount (as applicable) of the original Option
or SAR shall not be subject to shareholder approval; 
 (vii) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and
Awards, including without limitation, any notice of award or Award Agreement, granted pursuant to the Plan; 

(viii) to grant Awards to Employees, Directors and Consultants employed outside the United States on such terms and
conditions different from those specified in the Plan as may, in the judgment of the Administrator, be necessary or desirable to further the purpose of the Plan; and 

(ix) to take such other action, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator deems appropriate.

 The express grant in the Plan of any specific power to the Administrator shall not be construed as limiting any power or
authority of the Administrator; provided that the Administrator may not exercise any right or power reserved to the Board. Any decision made, or action taken, by the Administrator or in connection with the administration of this Plan shall be final,
conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in the Plan. 
 (c) Indemnification. In addition
to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as members of the Board or as Officers or Employees of the Company or a Related Entity, members of the Board and any Officers or Employees of the Company or a Related Entity to whom authority
to act for the Board, the Administrator or the Company is delegated shall be defended and indemnified by the Company to the extent permitted by law on an after-tax basis against all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and
necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under
or in connection with the Plan, or any Award granted hereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such claim,
investigation, action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding that such person is liable for gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct;
provided, however, that within thirty (30) days after the institution of such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, such person shall offer to the Company, in writing, the opportunity at the Company’s expense to defend the
same. 

 5. Eligibility. Awards other than Incentive Stock Options may be granted to
Employees, Directors and Consultants. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees of the Company or a Parent or a Subsidiary of the Company. An Employee, Director or Consultant who has been granted an Award may, if otherwise eligible,
be granted additional Awards. Awards may be granted to such Employees, Directors or Consultants who are residing in non-U.S. jurisdictions as the Administrator may determine from time to time. 

6. Terms and Conditions of Awards. 

(a) Types of Awards. The Administrator is authorized under the Plan to award any type of arrangement to an
Employee, Director or Consultant that is not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan and that by its terms involves or might involve the issuance of (i) Shares, (ii) cash or (iii) an Option, a SAR, or similar right with a fixed
or variable price related to the Fair Market Value of the Shares and with an exercise or conversion privilege related to the passage of time, the occurrence of one or more events, or the satisfaction of performance criteria or other conditions. Such
awards include, without limitation, Options, SARs, sales or bonuses of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, and an Award may consist of one such security or benefit, or two (2) or more of them in any combination or alternative.

 (b) Designation of Award. Each Award shall be designated in the Award Agreement. In the case of an
Option, the Option shall be designated as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, an Option will qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under the Code only to the extent the $100,000
dollar limitation of Section 422(d) of the Code is not exceeded. The $100,000 limitation of Section 422(d) of the Code is calculated based on the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to Options designated as Incentive Stock
Options which become exercisable for the first time by a Grantee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company). For purposes of this calculation, Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into
account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the grant date of the relevant Option. 

(c) Conditions of Award. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Administrator shall determine the provisions, terms,
and conditions of each Award including, but not limited to, the Award vesting schedule, repurchase provisions, rights of first refusal, forfeiture provisions, form of payment (cash, Shares, or other consideration) upon settlement of the Award,
payment contingencies, and satisfaction of any performance criteria. The performance criteria established by the Administrator may be based on any one of, or combination of, the following: (i) increase in share price, (ii) earnings per
share, (iii) total stockholder return, (iv) operating margin, (v) gross margin, (vi) return on equity, (vii) return on assets, (viii) return on investment, (ix) operating income, (x) net operating income,
(xi) pre-tax profit, (xii) cash flow, (xiii) revenue, (xiv) expenses, (xv) earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation, (xvi) economic value added, (xvii) market share, (xviii) relative or absolute share
price and (xix) proforma net income. The performance criteria may be applicable to the Company, Related Entities and/or any individual business units of the Company or any Related Entity. Partial achievement of the specified criteria may result
in a payment or vesting corresponding to the degree of achievement as specified in the Award Agreement. 
 (d)
Acquisitions and Other Transactions. The Administrator may issue Awards under the Plan in settlement, assumption or substitution for, outstanding awards or obligations to grant future awards in connection with the Company or a Related Entity
acquiring another entity, an interest in another entity or an additional interest in a Related Entity whether by merger, stock purchase, asset purchase or other form of transaction. 

 (e) Deferral of Award Payment. The Administrator may establish one or
more programs under the Plan to permit selected Grantees the opportunity to elect to defer receipt of consideration upon exercise of an Award, satisfaction of performance criteria, or other event that absent the election would entitle the Grantee to
payment or receipt of Shares or other consideration under an Award. The Administrator may establish the election procedures, the timing of such elections, the mechanisms for payments of, and accrual of interest or other earnings, if any, on amounts,
Shares or other consideration so deferred, and such other terms, conditions, rules and procedures that the Administrator deems advisable for the administration of any such deferral program. 

(f) Separate Programs. The Administrator may establish one or more separate programs under the Plan for the purpose
of issuing particular forms of Awards to one or more classes of Grantees on such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator from time to time. 

(g) Individual Limitations on Awards. 

(i) Individual Limit for Options and SARs. The maximum number of Shares with respect to which Options and SARs may
be granted to any Grantee in any calendar year shall be 750,000 Shares. The foregoing limitations shall be adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization pursuant to Section 10, below. To the extent
required by Section 162(m) of the Code or the regulations thereunder, in applying the foregoing limitations with respect to a Grantee, if any Option or SAR is canceled, the canceled Option or SAR shall continue to count against the maximum
number of Shares with respect to which Options and SARs may be granted to the Grantee. For this purpose, the repricing of an Option (or in the case of a SAR, the base amount on which the stock appreciation is calculated is reduced to reflect a
reduction in the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock) shall be treated as the cancellation of the existing Option or SAR and the grant of a new Option or SAR. 

(ii) Individual Limit for Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. For awards of Restricted Stock and
Restricted Stock Units that are intended to be Performance-Based Compensation, the maximum number of Shares with respect to which such Awards may be granted to any Grantee in any calendar year shall be 750,000 Shares. The foregoing limitation shall
be adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization pursuant to Section 10, below. 

(iii) Deferral. If the vesting or receipt of Shares under an Award is deferred to a later date, any amount (whether
denominated in Shares or cash) paid in addition to the original number of Shares subject to such Award will not be treated as an increase in the number of Shares subject to the Award if the additional amount is based either on a reasonable rate of
interest or on one or more predetermined actual investments such that the amount payable by the Company at the later date will be based on the actual rate of return of a specific investment (including any decrease as well as any increase in the
value of an investment). 
 (h) Early Exercise. The Award Agreement may, but need not, include a provision
whereby the Grantee may elect at any time while an Employee, Director or Consultant to exercise any part or all of the Award prior to full vesting of the Award. Any unvested Shares received pursuant to such exercise may be subject to a repurchase
right in favor of the Company or a Related Entity or to any other restriction the Administrator determines to be appropriate. 

(i) Term of Award. The term of each Award shall be no more than seven (7) years from the date of grant
thereof. However, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Grantee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent
or Subsidiary of the Company, the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the specified term of any
Award shall not include any period for which the Grantee has elected to defer the receipt of the Shares or cash issuable pursuant to the Award. 

(j) Transferability of Awards. Incentive Stock Options may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated,
transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Grantee only by the Grantee. Other Awards shall be transferable by will and by the laws of descent
and distribution and during the lifetime of the Grantee, to the extent and in the manner authorized by the Administrator, but only to the extent such transfers are made to family members, to family trusts, to family-controlled entities, to
charitable organizations, and pursuant to domestic relations orders or agreements, in all cases without payment for such transfers to the Grantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee may designate one or more beneficiaries of the
Grantee’s Award in the event of the Grantee’s death on a beneficiary designation form provided by the Administrator. 

 (k) Time of Granting Awards. The date of grant of an Award shall for
all purposes be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination to grant such Award, or such other date as is determined by the Administrator. 

7. Award Exercise or Purchase Price, Consideration and Taxes. 

(a) Exercise or Purchase Price. The exercise or purchase price, if any, for an Award shall be as follows:

 (i) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option: 

(A) granted to an Employee who, at the time of the grant of such Incentive Stock Option owns stock representing more than
ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, the per Share exercise price shall be not less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share
on the date of grant; or 
 (B) granted to any Employee other than an Employee described in the preceding
paragraph, the per Share exercise price shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. 

(ii) In the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the per Share exercise price shall be not less than one hundred percent
(100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. 
 (iii) In the case of Awards intended to
qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the exercise or purchase price, if any, shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. 

(iv) In the case of SARs, the base appreciation amount shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair
Market Value per Share on the date of grant. 
 (v) In the case of other Awards, such price as is determined by
the Administrator. 
 (vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(a), in the case of an
Award issued pursuant to Section 6(d), above, the exercise or purchase price for the Award shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the relevant instrument evidencing the agreement to issue such Award. 

(b) Consideration. Subject to Applicable Laws, the consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon
exercise or purchase of an Award including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Administrator. In addition to any other types of consideration the Administrator may determine, the Administrator is authorized to accept as consideration
for Shares issued under the Plan the following , provided that the portion of the consideration equal to the par value of the Shares must be paid in cash or other legal consideration permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law: 

(i) cash; 

(ii) check; 

(iii) surrender of Shares or delivery of a properly executed form of attestation of ownership of Shares as the
Administrator may require which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender or attestation equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Award shall be exercised; 

 (iv) with respect to Options, payment through a broker-dealer sale and
remittance procedure pursuant to which the Grantee (A) shall provide written instructions to a Company designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of some or all of the purchased Shares and remit to the Company sufficient funds to
cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased Shares and (B) shall provide written directives to the Company to deliver the certificates for the purchased Shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale
transaction; or 
 (v) with respect to Options, payment through a “net exercise” such that, without the
payment of any funds, the Grantee may exercise the Option and receive the net number of Shares equal to (i) the number of Shares as to which the Option is being exercised, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Fair
Market Value per Share (on such date as is determined by the Administrator) less the Exercise Price per Share, and the denominator of which is such Fair Market Value per Share (the number of net Shares to be received shall be rounded down to the
nearest whole number of Shares); 
 (vi) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. 

The Administrator may at any time or from time to time, by adoption of or by amendment to the standard forms of Award Agreement described
in Section 4(b)(iv), or by other means, grant Awards which do not permit all of the foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment for the Shares or which otherwise restrict one or more forms of consideration. 

(c) Taxes. No Shares shall be delivered under the Plan to any Grantee or other person until such Grantee or other
person has made arrangements acceptable to the Administrator for the satisfaction of any non-U.S., federal, state, or local income and employment tax withholding obligations, including, without limitation, obligations incident to the receipt of
Shares. Upon exercise or vesting of an Award the Company shall withhold or collect from the Grantee an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations, including, but not limited to, by surrender of the whole number of Shares covered by the Award
sufficient to satisfy the minimum applicable tax withholding obligations incident to the exercise or vesting of an Award. 
 8.
Exercise of Award. 
 (a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. 

(i) Any Award granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the
Administrator under the terms of the Plan and specified in the Award Agreement. 
 (ii) An Award shall be deemed
to be exercised when written notice of such exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Award by the person entitled to exercise the Award and full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Award is exercised
has been made, including, to the extent selected, use of the broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure to pay the purchase price as provided in Section 7(b)(iv). 

(b) Exercise of Award Following Termination of Continuous Service. 

(i) An Award may not be exercised after the termination date of such Award set forth in the Award Agreement and may be
exercised following the termination of a Grantee’s Continuous Service only to the extent provided in the Award Agreement. 

(ii) Where the Award Agreement permits a Grantee to exercise an Award following the termination of the Grantee’s
Continuous Service for a specified period, the Award shall terminate to the extent not exercised on the last day of the specified period or the last day of the original term of the Award, whichever occurs first. 

 (iii) Any Award designated as an Incentive Stock Option to the extent not
exercised within the time permitted by law for the exercise of Incentive Stock Options following the termination of a Grantee’s Continuous Service shall convert automatically to a Non-Qualified Stock Option and thereafter shall be exercisable
as such to the extent exercisable by its terms for the period specified in the Award Agreement. 
 9. Conditions Upon
Issuance of Shares. 
 (a) If at any time the Administrator determines that the delivery of Shares pursuant
to the exercise, vesting or any other provision of an Award is or may be unlawful under Applicable Laws, the vesting or right to exercise an Award or to otherwise receive Shares pursuant to the terms of an Award shall be suspended until the
Administrator determines that such delivery is lawful and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. The Company shall have no obligation to effect any registration or qualification of the
Shares under federal or state laws. 
 (b) As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require
the person exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for
the Company, such a representation is required by any Applicable Laws. 
 10. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization.
Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Award, and the number of Shares which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Awards have yet been
granted or which have been returned to the Plan, the exercise or purchase price of each such outstanding Award, the maximum number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted to any Grantee in any calendar year, as well as any other terms
that the Administrator determines require adjustment shall be proportionately adjusted for (i) any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or
reclassification of the Shares, or similar transaction affecting the Shares, (ii) any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, or (iii) any other transaction with
respect to Common Stock including a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation (including a spin-off or other distribution of stock or property), reorganization, liquidation (whether partial or complete) or any
similar transaction; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Any such adjustments to outstanding Awards will be effected
in a manner that precludes the material enlargement of rights and benefits under such Awards. Adjustments and any determinations or interpretations shall be made by the Administrator and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. In
connection with the foregoing adjustments, the Administrator may, in its discretion, prohibit the exercise of Awards or other issuance of Shares, cash or other consideration pursuant to Awards during certain periods of time. Except as the
Administrator determines, no issuance by the Company of shares of any class, or securities convertible into shares of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason hereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to
an Award. 
 11. Corporate Transactions and Changes in Control. 

(a) Termination of Award to Extent Not Assumed in Corporate Transaction. Effective upon the consummation of a
Corporate Transaction, all outstanding Awards under the Plan shall terminate. However, all such Awards shall not terminate to the extent they are Assumed in connection with the Corporate Transaction. 

(b) Acceleration of Award Upon Corporate Transaction or Change in Control. 

(i) Corporate Transaction. Except as provided otherwise in an individual Award Agreement, in the event of a
Corporate Transaction, for the portion of each Award that is neither Assumed nor Replaced, such portion of the Award shall automatically become fully vested and exercisable and be released from any repurchase or forfeiture rights (other than
repurchase rights exercisable at Fair Market Value) for all of the Shares (or other consideration) at the time represented by such portion of the Award, immediately prior to the specified effective date of such Corporate Transaction. 

(ii) Change in Control. Except as provided otherwise in an individual Award Agreement, in the event of a Change in
Control (other than a Change in Control which also is a Corporate Transaction), each Award which is at the time outstanding under the Plan automatically shall become fully vested and exercisable and be released from any repurchase or forfeiture
rights (other than repurchase rights exercisable at Fair Market Value), immediately prior to the specified effective date of such Change in Control, for all of the Shares (or other consideration) at the time represented by such Award. 

 (c) Effect of Acceleration on Incentive Stock Options. Any Incentive
Stock Option accelerated under this Section 11 in connection with a Corporate Transaction or Change in Control shall remain exercisable as an Incentive Stock Option under the Code only to the extent the $100,000 dollar limitation of
Section 422(d) of the Code is not exceeded. 
 12. Effective Date and Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective
upon its approval by the stockholders of the Company. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years indefinitely unless sooner terminated. Subject to Section 17 below and Applicable Laws, Awards may be granted under the Plan
upon its becoming effective. 
 13. Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan. 

(a) The Board may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be
made without the approval of the Company’s stockholders to the extent such approval is required by Applicable Laws , or if such amendment would lessen the stockholder approval requirements of Section 4(b)(vi) or this Section 13(a).

 (b) No Award may be granted during any suspension of the Plan or after termination of the Plan. 

(c) No suspension or termination of the Plan (including termination of the Plan under Section 11, above) shall
adversely affect any rights under Awards already granted to a Grantee. 
 14. Reservation of Shares. 

(a) The Company, during the term of the Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall
be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. 
 (b) The inability of the Company to obtain authority
from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to
issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. 
 15. No Effect on Terms of
Employment/Consulting Relationship. The Plan shall not confer upon any Grantee any right with respect to the Grantee’s Continuous Service, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or the right of the Company or any Related
Entity to terminate the Grantee’s Continuous Service at any time, with or without Cause, and with or without notice. The ability of the Company or any Related Entity to terminate the employment of a Grantee who is employed at will is in no way
affected by its determination that the Grantee’s Continuous Service has been terminated for Cause for the purposes of this Plan. 

16. No Effect on Retirement and Other Benefit Plans. Except as specifically provided in a retirement or other benefit plan of the
Company or a Related Entity, Awards shall not be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits or contributions under any retirement plan of the Company or a Related Entity, and shall not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan of
any kind or any benefit plan subsequently instituted under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to level of compensation. The Plan is not a “Retirement Plan” or “Welfare Plan” under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. 
 17. Stockholder Approval. The grant of Incentive Stock Options under the Plan
shall be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted excluding Incentive Stock Options issued in substitution for outstanding Incentive Stock Options pursuant to
Section 424(a) of the Code. Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under Applicable Laws. The Administrator may grant Incentive Stock Options under the Plan prior to approval by the stockholders, but until
such approval is obtained, no such Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable. In the event that stockholder approval is not obtained within the twelve (12) month period provided above, all Incentive Stock Options previously granted
under the Plan shall be exercisable as Non-Qualified Stock Options. 

 18. Unfunded Obligation. Grantees shall have the status of general unsecured
creditors of the Company. Any amounts payable to Grantees pursuant to the Plan shall be unfunded and unsecured obligations for all purposes, including, without limitation, Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
Neither the Company nor any Related Entity shall be required to segregate any monies from its general funds, or to create any trusts, or establish any special accounts with respect to such obligations. The Company shall retain at all times
beneficial ownership of any investments, including trust investments, which the Company may make to fulfill its payment obligations hereunder. Any investments or the creation or maintenance of any trust or any Grantee account shall not create or
constitute a trust or fiduciary relationship between the Administrator, the Company or any Related Entity and a Grantee, or otherwise create any vested or beneficial interest in any Grantee or the Grantee’s creditors in any assets of the
Company or a Related Entity. The Grantees shall have no claim against the Company or any Related Entity for any changes in the value of any assets that may be invested or reinvested by the Company with respect to the Plan. 

19. Construction. Captions and titles contained herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation
of any provision of the Plan. Except when otherwise indicated by the context, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. Use of the term “or” is not intended to be exclusive, unless the context clearly
requires otherwise.

Company’s form of Early Exercise Stock Purchase Agreement, a copy of which will be provided to you at the time you elect to “early exercise” your Option; and (iii) you shall enter into the Company’s form of Early Exercise

Option, you agree that you shall not sell, dispose of, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, any shares or other securities
