 2. Escrow. Within three (3) business days after the Effective Date, Buyer and Seller shall open an escrow (“Escrow”)
with First American Title Guaranty Company, 1850 Mt. Diablo Blvd., Suite 300, Walnut Creek, California 94596 (“Escrow Holder”) by delivering a fully executed copy of this Agreement to Escrow Holder. Concurrent
therewith, Buyer shall deposit into escrow the Deposit (as defined in Section 3). This Agreement shall also constitute instructions to Escrow Holder. If Escrow Holder requires separate or additional escrow instructions (“Additional
Instructions”), Seller and Buyer agree to promptly execute and deliver Additional Instructions to Escrow Holder, provided the Additional Instructions are consistent with the provisions of this Agreement. If there is any conflict or
inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Additional Instructions, this Agreement shall govern unless the Additional Instructions are jointly executed by both Buyer and Seller, and specifically state that one or more
of the provisions of the Additional Instructions shall govern. The Additional Instructions shall not be deemed to modify or amend the provisions of this Agreement unless Buyer and Seller so agree specifically in writing. 
  
 3. Closing of Escrow. Subject to the satisfaction of all conditions
precedent to the Closing of Escrow (as defined in this Section 3) as set forth in this Agreement, the closing (“Closing”) of the purchase and sale of the Property shall take place through Escrow on or before September 30, 2003,
subject to extension as provided in Section 5.1.4 below. The actual date for the Closing shall be selected by Seller upon at least seven (7) business days notice to Buyer. The date so established as the date for Closing of Escrow is referred to
herein as the “Closing Date”. The term “Closing of Escrow” or “Close of Escrow” shall refer to the date on which Seller’s grant deed conveying fee
simple title to the Property is recorded in the Official Records of Santa Clara County. Escrow Holder shall make all filings and otherwise take all actions as may be necessary to comply with Section 18662 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code.

 4.1. Deposit. Concurrent with the opening of escrow, Buyer shall make a deposit of Three Million
Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($3,015,000) (the “Deposit”) into Escrow. Escrow Holder shall place the Deposit in an interest-bearing account having no penalty for early withdrawal. The Deposit shall remain in escrow until
the Close of Escrow or termination of this Agreement, and all interest earned in such account shall be credited to Buyer and shall become a part of the Deposit. If Buyer gives the Approval Notice (as defined in Section 5.3) and this Agreement is not
terminated pursuant to the title and survey review process set forth in Section 5.1, the Deposit shall become non-refundable, except upon a termination of this Agreement due to the failure of one of Buyer’s conditions to Closing set forth in
this Agreement, or upon a default by Seller, in which case the Deposit shall immediately be released to Buyer by Escrow Holder. At Close of Escrow, the Deposit shall be credited against the Purchase Price. Should escrow fail to close due to a
default of Buyer, the Deposit shall immediately be released to Seller by Escrow Holder, and shall be retained by Seller as liquidated damages for Buyer’s default, as provided in Section 8.2 
  
 4.2. Payment of Balance of Purchase Price. At least one business day
prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall deposit into Escrow in cash or other immediately available funds the Purchase Price, less the Deposit, plus Buyer’s closing costs and prorations in the amount determined by Escrow Holder.

 5.1. Condition of Title. Title to the Property shall be conveyed by
Seller to Buyer by grant deed (the “Deed”), subject to no exceptions to title of any kind or character other than (i) a lien to secure payment of real estate taxes and assessments not delinquent; and (ii) exceptions
which are approved by Buyer in writing as provided in this Section 5.1, below. Prior to executing this Agreement, Buyer received from Escrow Holder a proforma title report dated as of March 21, 2003 (First American Title Order No. NCS-11880-SC (MH))
(the “Title Report”). Prior to its execution of this Agreement Buyer has ordered from Kier & Wright, at Buyer’s sole expense, a current ALTA survey showing the Property as subdivided pursuant to the Parcel Map
(the “Survey”), containing the most recently announced “minimum standard detail requirements” adopted by the American Land Title Association (“ALTA”), to be certified to Buyer
and any other parties designated by Buyer. Kier & Wright has stated that it expects to deliver the Survey to Buyer on or before April 23, 2003. Buyer acknowledges that Seller has provided Buyer with a copy of a site map of the Property and the
adjacent property to be retained by Seller. Such site map, dated February 12, 2003 and prepared, by Kier & Wright is referred to herein as the “Site Map”. 
  
 5.1.1. Within three (3) business days after Buyer’s receipt of the
Survey, but in no event later than May 15, 2003, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of any exceptions to title or matters disclosed by the Title Report and the Survey which are unacceptable to Buyer (the “Disapproval
Notice”). Within three (3) days after receipt of the Disapproval Notice, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing whether or not Seller will remove or remedy any items noted in the Disapproval Notice; provided that if Seller does not
respond, Seller shall be deemed to have notified Buyer that Seller will not remove or remedy any items. To the extent Seller agrees to 
  

 3 

 
remove or remedy any items noted in the Disapproval Notice, Seller shall cause removal of such disapproved exceptions from title before Closing, taking such
action, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, as may be necessary so to do. As a condition to the Closing for the benefit of Buyer, Seller hereby covenants and agrees that all deeds of trust, mortgages or other similar monetary encumbrances
(except for nondelinquent real property taxes and assessments), shall be removed of record from the Property by Seller prior to or at the Closing at Seller’s sole cost and expense. 
  
 5.1.2. If Seller does not agree to remove or remedy any issues noted in the Disapproval Notice, then at Buyer’s sole
election, to be made in writing within the first to occur of two (2) business days after receipt of Seller’s written response to the Disapproval Notice or five (5) business days after Buyer has given the Disapproval Notice, either (i) this
Agreement shall terminate and the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Buyer by Escrow Holder, or (ii) Buyer shall agree to purchase the Property subject to the matters described in the Disapproval Notice. If Buyer does not respond within the
applicable time period, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to waive the matters that Seller did not agree to remove or remedy. The exceptions to title and survey matters that are approved or deemed approved as described and determined in this
Section 5.1 are referred to herein as the “Permitted Exceptions”. 
  
 5.1.3. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1, the Escrow Holder shall immediately return the Deposit
to Buyer. 
  
 5.1.4. If Buyer has not delivered to Seller the
Disapproval Notice on or before April 30, 2003, or confirmed to Seller prior to such date that Buyer has no objections to the exceptions to title or matters disclosed by the Title Report and the Survey, then the September 30, 2003 date referenced in
Section 3 above shall be extended by one day for each day after April 30 until the date Buyer delivers to Seller the Disapproval Notice or Buyer confirms to Seller that Buyer has no such objections. 
  
 5.2. Materials. Prior to the Effective Date, Seller provided to Buyer
copies of the following to the extent the same are in Seller’s possession or control: (i) building permits and service contracts, (ii) site plan, (iii) environmental reports and/or soils reports, (iv) certificates of occupancy, zoning letters
and similar documents, (v) recent tax bills relating to the Property, (vi) a copy of the Parcel Map and any and all conditions for approval of the same, and (vii) to the extent not listed above, any and all of the documents and information listed on
Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively referred to herein as the “Materials”). 
  
 5.3. Feasibility; Approval of Property. During the period ending at 5:00 p.m. on April 25, 2003 (the “Feasibility
Period”), Buyer shall conduct such feasibility and due diligence investigations of the Property as Buyer desires, including its review of the Materials and any other items that Buyer deemed necessary or appropriate relating to the
ownership and operation of the Property in its sole and absolute discretion; provided however that Buyer’s Title and Survey review shall be governed by Section 5.1, above. On or before the expiration of the Feasibility Period, Buyer shall have
provided written notice to Seller that Buyer has approved its feasibility studies (the “Approval Notice”). Buyer’s failure to provide an Approval Notice on or before the expiration of the Feasibility Period shall
be deemed Buyer’s disapproval of the 
  
  

 4 

 
condition of the Property, in which case this Agreement shall automatically terminate and the Escrow Holder shall immediately return the Deposit to Buyer.

  
 5.4. Materials and Reports. Seller shall assign to
Buyer at the Closing, without representation or warranty of any kind, Seller’s interests in the Materials. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason whatsoever, Buyer agrees to promptly return to Seller the Materials, and provided this
Agreement has not terminated due to Seller’s default, Buyer shall also turn over to Seller, within ten (10) days of any such termination, copies of all non-confidential studies and reports prepared by or for Buyer with respect to the Property.
Buyer agrees to keep all of the information and reports obtained from Seller or relating to the Property or the transaction contemplated by this Agreement confidential, and shall not disclose any such confidential information to any other person or
entity prior to the Closing without the prior written consent of Seller; provided however that Buyer may disclose such information to its employees, counsel and consultants. 
  
 5.5 1999 Lease. Buyer represents and warrants to Seller that as of the date of Buyer’s execution of this
Agreement, Buyer has no knowledge of any claims that Buyer may have against Seller arising from or relating to the 1999 Lease. As used herein, the “knowledge” of Buyer shall mean the actual current knowledge of Clifford Walker, without

Close of Escrow pursuant to which Seller shall re-certify the foregoing representations and warranties to Buyer at 
  

 6 

 
Closing, and said representations and warranties shall survive the Closing for a period of nine (9) months. If Seller learns prior to the Closing that any of
Seller’s representations or warranties contained in this Agreement have become untrue or incorrect in any material respect, then within three (3) days of Seller’s discovery of any such facts or circumstances, Seller shall notify Buyer of
the information or facts making Seller’s representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement untrue or incorrect (a “Warranty Disclosure”). Buyer shall have until five (5) business days after the receipt of a

to Seller, in which case Escrow Holder shall immediately return the Deposit to Buyer. Seller shall have no liability to Buyer with respect to such change in Seller’s representations and warranties unless the representation was false when made
or unless the change to the underlying facts causing the representation or warranty to become untrue is due to a breach of this Agreement or any act or omission of Seller. 
  
 7. Title Policy. At the Closing, Escrow Holder shall be committed to deliver to Buyer an extended American Land Title
Association owner’s policy of title insurance on the 1970 form, together with any endorsements reasonably requested by Buyer. The form of title policy that Buyer elects to obtain is referred to herein as the “Title

party entitled to do so for the cancellation of Escrow, as described below. Escrow Holder shall notify the other party of any such demand. 
  
 8.1. Termination for other than a Buyer Default. If the Closing of Escrow fails to occur due to Seller’s default hereunder or a failure of one
of the conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 9.1 or 9.2, Buyer shall be entitled to the immediate refund of the Deposit, together with all interest accrued thereon, and shall have all rights and remedies at law and in equity against Seller for
such default. 
  
 8.2. Liquidated Damages if Buyer
Defaults. BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT IF BUYER FAILS IN ITS OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY AS REQUIRED AND IF SUCH FAILURE CONTINUES FOR FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER WRITTEN NOTICE TO BUYER, BUYER SHALL BE DEEMED IN DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. IN
SUCH EVENT, THE DAMAGES TO SELLER WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICABLE TO ASCERTAIN, AND THAT THEREFORE, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH A DEFAULT BY BUYER, THE DEPOSIT SHALL SERVE AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR SUCH DEFAULT BY BUYER, AS A REASONABLE
ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES TO SELLER FOR SUCH DEFAULT BY BUYER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION SELLER’S CONTINUING OBLIGATION TO PAY THE PREPAYMENT FEE. DELIVERY TO AND RETENTION OF THE DEPOSIT 
  

 7 

 
BY SELLER SHALL BE SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST BUYER IN THE EVENT THAT BUYER DEFAULTS IN ITS OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY, AND
SELLER WAIVES ALL OTHER RIGHTS OR REMEDIES AGAINST BUYER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. THE PAYMENT AND RETENTION OF SUCH AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA
CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 3275 OR 3369, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677. UPON ANY SUCH DEFAULT BY BUYER HEREUNDER, THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE TERMINATED AND NEITHER
PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY FURTHER RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, EACH TO THE OTHER, EXCEPT FOR THE RIGHT OF SELLER TO RETAIN SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND SELLER’S RIGHT TO RECOVER ATTORNEYS’ FEES PURSUANT TO SECTION 19.2 IN THE EVENT THE
DEPOSIT IS NOT PROMPTLY RELEASED TO SELLER.

Amendment, if either suggest modifications, Seller shall submit such modifications to Buyer for Buyer’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and which shall be deemed given unless notice of objection to the modifications is given
by Buyer within three (3) business days of Buyer’s receipt of the modifications. Seller shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain LINCOLN-RECP HELLYER OPCO, LLC’s and MetLife’s final approval of the Amendment, and such
approval shall be a condition to the Closing for the benefit of both Buyer and Seller. 
  
 9.2. Buyer’s Conditions to Closing of Escrow. The obligation of Buyer to purchase the Property under this Agreement is conditioned upon and subject to the satisfaction, or written waiver by Buyer, on or
before the Closing Date, of all the conditions precedent set forth 

  

 8 

 
below in this Section 9.2, which conditions are for the exclusive benefit of Buyer. Should any such condition not be so satisfied or waived by Buyer, then
Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement and the Escrow, in which event the provisions of Section 8.1 shall apply. The conditions precedent to Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property are as follows:

 11. Prepayment Fee. The Property is currently encumbered by a deed of trust in favor of MetLife and Seller has committed in this Agreement to
convey the Property to Buyer free and clear of the MetLife deed of trust. In order to release the Property from the lien of its deed of trust, MetLife has required that a prepayment fee be paid to it based on a yield maintenance formula (the

similar transactions in Santa Clara County. 
  
 12.2. Taxes and
Assessments. Taxes and assessments shall be prorated as of the Closing Date. Seller represents and warrants to Buyer that the projected taxes and assessments for the 2003-2004 fiscal year have been paid by Seller in conjunction with the approval
and recording of the Parcel Map and Seller will be entitled to a credit for such payment for the period from the Close of Escrow through June 30, 2004. Buyer and Seller shall work with Escrow Holder to equitably allocate the property taxes and
assessments between the Property and the remaining parcel which Seller will continue to own so that such taxes and assessments can be prorated by Escrow Holder for the Closing. Thereafter, as soon as practicable after the Closing, when information
as to the actual allocation of taxes and assessments between such properties is completed by the Santa Clara County Assessor, Buyer and Seller shall jointly agree upon the correct and final prorations of property taxes and assessments and an
adjusting payment shall be made by one party to the other to reflect the actual allocation and the proration based thereon. 
  
 12.3. Expenses. All operating expenses of the Property, if and to the extent not paid by Tenant pursuant to the 1999 Lease, shall be prorated as of
the Closing Date. An initial proration shall be made by Escrow Holder for the Closing hereunder, based upon information provided by Buyer and Seller, and as soon as reasonably possible after the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall agree upon a
reconciliation of such expenses and an adjusting payment shall thereupon be made by one party to the other; provided however that the final reconciliation as to real estate taxes and assessments shall be made upon completion of the final allocation
and proration thereof 

  

 11 

 
pursuant to Section 12.2, and based thereon, a final adjusting payment shall be made by one party to the other. 
  
 12.4. 1999 Lease. Rent and operating expenses for the Property under
the 1999 Lease shall be prorated as of the Closing Date. Furthermore, the obligations of Seller and Buyer under the 1999 Lease relating to periods after the Close of Escrow shall terminate as of the Close of Escrow. Buyer may elect at least five (5)
days prior to the Closing Date whether to have the 1999 Lease terminate as of the Closing Date or whether, in light of the Sublease, to take an assignment of Seller’s interests in the 1999 Lease at Closing. If Buyer makes no election, Buyer
shall be deemed to have elected to have the 1999 Lease terminate at Close of Escrow. Buyer shall prepare for review and approval by Seller, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, a form of lease termination or lease assignment, as the
case may be, for execution by the parties at Close of Escrow. 
  
 13. Items to be Delivered at the Closing. 
  
 13.1. Seller’s Deliveries. At the Closing, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer the following items: 
  
 13.1.1. The Title Policy; 
  
 13.1.2. The Deed, duly executed and acknowledged by Seller, in a form reasonably acceptable to both Buyer and Seller; 
  
 13.1.3. A bill of sale, duly executed by Seller, conveying all of
Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Personal Property to Buyer; 
  
 13.1.4. Two originals of the lease termination or the lease assignment, as described in Section 12.4, executed by Seller; 
  
 13.1.5. Two originals of an assignment of all Intangibles, as described in Section 1, in a form reasonably acceptable to both Buyer and Seller, executed
by Seller; 
  
 13.1.6. If and as required by Escrow Holder,
copies of resolutions or other appropriate evidence of Seller authorizing and approving the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the authority of the parties on behalf of the entities comprising Seller to execute and deliver all documents
required of Seller hereunder, and the performance of all the obligations of Seller hereunder. 
  
 13.1.7. To the extent same are in the possession or control of Seller, the originals, if available, otherwise photocopies, of all building permits, certificates of occupancy, zoning certificates and other governmental
permits and licenses required in connection with the ownership, use, operation or maintenance of the Property. 
  

 12 

 13.1.8. To the extent same are in the possession and within the control of Seller, all architectural,
engineering, mechanical, HVAC, electrical and landscaping plans, drawings and specifications, including “as built” plans and specifications for the improvements. 
  
 13.1.9. An affidavit or certificate that Seller is not a “foreign person” as defined by the Internal Revenue Code
Section 1445, such affidavit or certificate to be in compliance with Section 1445(b)(2) of said Code, together with similar affidavits or certificates required under the California Revenue and Taxation Code. 
  
 13.1.10. A certificate updating Seller’s representations and warranties
under Article 6, above, as of the Close of Escrow. 
  
 13.1.11.
Other items reasonably requested by Escrow Holder or Buyer’s legal counsel as administrative requirements for consummating the Closing. 
  
 13.2. Buyer’s Deliveries. At least one business day prior to Closing, Buyer shall deliver to the Escrow Holder: 
  
 13.2.1. The remaining balance of the Purchase Price; 
  
 13.2.2. Two originals of the lease termination or the lease assignment, as
described in Section 12.4, executed by Buyer; 
  
 13.2.3. Two
originals of an assignment of Intangibles, executed by Buyer; and 
  
 13.2.4. Any other items reasonably requested by the Escrow Holder or Seller’s legal counsel as administrative requirements for consummating the Closing. 
  
 13.3 Possession. Possession of the Property shall be given to Buyer at the Closing, subject to the 1999 Lease and the
Sublease thereunder. All risk of loss or damage with respect to the Property shall pass from Seller to Buyer at the Closing. 
  
 14. Brokers and Finders. Buyer and Seller agree that the execution of this Agreement was not induced or procured through any person, firm or
corporation acting as a broker or finder, Each party agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and hold the other harmless from any damage, claim, liability or expense resulting from any claim by any person, firm or corporation based upon their having
acted as a broker or finder for or in connection with this transaction on behalf of the indemnifying party. 
  
 15. Waiver, Consent and Remedies. Either party may specifically and expressly waive in writing any breach by the other party of any provision of
this Agreement, but no such waiver shall constitute a further or continuing waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision. A waiving party may at any time thereafter require further compliance by the other party
with any breach so waived. The consent by one party to any act by the other for 
  

 13 

 
which such consent was required shall not be deemed to imply consent or waiver of the necessity of obtaining such consent for the same or any similar acts in
the future. No waiver or consent shall be implied from silence or any failure of a party to act, except as otherwise specified in this Agreement. 
  
 16. Condemnation and Casualty. 
  
 16.1. Condemnation. If any material portion of the Property, or any interest therein, is taken prior to the Closing as a result of condemnation
(including the filing of any notice of intended condemnation or proceedings in the nature of eminent domain), at the election of Buyer by written notice to Seller, this Agreement and the Escrow shall be deemed immediately terminated and the entire
award from the condemning authority shall be the sole property of Seller, and Buyer hereby irrevocably assigns to Seller all of Buyer’s right, title and interest in and to any and all such awards; provided, however, that if Buyer does not elect
to terminate this Agreement and the Escrow, then, following the Closing, the entire award shall be payable to Buyer, and Seller shall assign all of its rights in any such award to Buyer. In the event of a taking of a portion of the Property that
does not affect in a materially adverse manner Buyer’s continuing use of the Property, Buyer shall proceed with the purchase of the Property, in which event Buyer shall pay to Seller the full Purchase Price for the Property, and Buyer shall be
entitled to the portion of the condemnation award allocable to the portion of the Property so taken. 
  
 16.2. Casualty. If the Property, or any part thereof, suffers “minor damage” (as hereinafter defined) following the Execution Date but
prior to Closing from fire or other casualty, Seller may, at its option and without any obligation to do so, cause the same to be repaired prior to the Closing at Seller’s sole cost and expense. If Seller fails or refuses to repair any such
minor damage prior to Closing, Buyer shall consummate the Closing, whereupon Seller’s rights, if any, in the proceeds of any insurance covering such damage shall be assigned to Buyer at Closing, Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase
Price in the amount of the deductible, and there shall be no other reduction or abatement in the Purchase Price. If the Property, or any part thereof, suffers” major damage” (as hereinafter defined) prior to Closing from fire or other
casualty, then Buyer may, as its sole remedy, either (i) terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Deposit, together with all interest accrued thereon, shall be refunded to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations pursuant
to this Agreement, or (ii) consummate the Closing, whereupon Seller’s rights, if any, in the proceeds of any insurance covering such damage shall be assigned to Buyer at Closing, Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the
amount of the deductible, and there shall be no other reduction or abatement in the Purchase Price. For purposes of this Agreement, major damage shall mean damage or destruction, the cost of repairing which is One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or
more. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Buyer, its agents, contractors or representatives damage the Property, then Buyer shall be responsible for repairing said damage and shall have no right to terminate this Agreement by virtue
of said damage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of minor damage for which no insurance coverage is provided, or less than the full cost of the repair thereof is provided for by insurance covering such minor damage, Buyer shall consummate
the Closing, and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the cost of the necessary repairs to the extent not covered by insurance proceeds to be assigned to Buyer at the Closing. 
  

 14 

 17. Operations Pending Closing. Seller shall exercise diligent efforts to cause the Property to be
maintained until Closing in good repair, normal wear and tear and damage by casualty excepted. Seller further agrees to maintain in full force and effect until the Closing Date all insurance policies of Seller currently in effect with respect to the
Property. 
  
 18. Exchange. Seller shall have the right to
designate a parcel or parcels of other real property (herein referred to as a “Seller Exchange Property”) which Seller wishes to exchange for the Property in an Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 tax-deferred exchange, or to
otherwise participate in a Section 1031 tax-deferred exchange transaction. Buyer shall cooperate with Seller in effecting such an exchange, including, but not limited to, executing additional escrow instructions, documents, agreements and/or
instruments prepared by or on behalf of Seller, provided that (i) Buyer shall not incur any additional liability, costs or financial obligations as a consequence of any such exchange, (ii) Buyer shall have no obligation to close on any Seller
Exchange Property, and (iii) the Closing is not contingent on the consummation of any such exchange and there shall be no delay of the Closing. 
  
 19. Miscellaneous. 
  
 19.1. Successors and Assigns. Subject to Section 19.13 below, each and all of the covenants and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and shall be binding upon the respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of Buyer and Seller. 
  
 19.2. Attorneys’ Fees. If any legal action is instituted between any two or more of Seller, Buyer or Escrow Holder in connection with this
Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the losing party all of its costs and expenses, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. 
  
 19.3. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement
shall be in writing and shall be (as elected by the person giving such notice) hand delivered by messenger or courier service (including overnight delivery such as Federal Express), or transmitted by facsimile with confirming copy by US mail,

 AMENDMENT TO 
 DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS 
 AND RESTRICTIONS RUNNING WITH THE LAND 
  
 THIS AMENDMENT TO DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS RUNNING WITH THE LAND (this “Amendment”) is made as of April
18, 2003, by LINCOLN-RECP HELLYER OPCO, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Lincoln”) and SPI HO II ASSOCIATES, L.P., a California limited partnership, SPI/TSA
ARROWHEAD, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company, SPI/TSA CHULA VISTA L.P., a California limited partnership, and SPI/BRAINTREE UNIT 5 LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Massachusetts limited partnership (collectively
“SPI”). 
  
 RECITALS

  
 A. Lincoln is the Declarant under that certain Declaration of
Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions Running with the Land dated as of August 31, 2001 and recorded September 14, 2001 as Document No. 15869541 in the Official Records of Santa Clara County (the “Declaration”). Capitalized terms
not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Declaration. 
  
 B. Lincoln is the Owner of Parcel I described in the Declaration and, for convenience of reference, also described in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. 
  
 C. SPI is the Owner of Parcel II described in the Declaration. Pursuant to a parcel
map filed for record in the Office of the Recorder of the County of Santa Clara, State of California, on April 15, 2003 in Book 759 of Maps, at Pages 43 and 44, SPI subdivided Parcel II into two parcels, Parcel A and Parcel B, as described in
Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Parcel A and Parcel B, with the existing buildings and improvements located thereon, are depicted on the site map attached hereto as Exhibit C; which is incorporated
herein by this reference. 
  
 D. As a consequence of the subdivision of
Parcel II into Parcel A and Parcel B, it is appropriate and desirable to amend certain provisions of the Declaration to clarify which of the rights and obligations thereunder that affect Parcel II are to be specific to Parcel A or to Parcel B.

  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained
herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, 
  
  

 23 

 
Lincoln and SPI, who constitute all of the Owners under the Declaration, hereby amend the Declaration as follows: 
  
 1. Section 1.2 is amended to read in full as follows:
“Current Parking Space Amount” shall mean, with respect to the Owner of Parcel I, a total of 1248 parking spaces, and with respect to the Owner of Parcel II, a total of 658 parking spaces, of which 440 parking spaces
are within Parcel A and 218 parking spaces are within Parcel B. 
  
 2. Section 1.5 is amended to read in full as follows: “Maximum Overpark Space Amount” shall mean, with respect to the Owner of Parcel I, a total of 143 parking spaces, and with respect to the Owner of
Parcel II, a total of 138 parking spaces, of which 92 are allocated to the Owner of Parcel A and 46 are allocated to the Owner of Parcel B. 
  
 3. Section 1.7 defines “Owner” as the record owner of fee simple title to all or any part of a Parcel or the
Project, and their successors and assigns. As at the time the Declaration was made it was contemplated that there would be two Owners, and as with the subdivision of Parcel II into Parcel A and Parcel B there can now be three Owners, references in
the Declaration to (a) an “Owner” or to “both Owners”, shall be construed, if the context thereof fairly suggests such construction, to refer to all Owners; (b) to the “other Owner” shall be construed, if the context
thereof fairly suggests such construction, to refer to the other Owners; and (c) to “either Owner” shall be construed, if the context thereof fairly suggests such construction, to refer to any one Owner. 
  
 4. Section 1.8 is amended to read in full as follows:
“Parcel” shall mean, individually, Parcel I, Parcel A or Parcel B. Unless otherwise expressly provided, all references to “Parcel II” shall mean each of Parcel A and Parcel B,
individually and collectively. Parcel I, Parcel II, Parcel A and Parcel B may at times be referred to herein as the “Parcels.” 
  
 5. Section 4.1.1 is amended to read in full as follows: As of the date of this Declaration, there are a total of 1248 parking spaces within Parcel
I, 440 parking spaces within Parcel A and 218 parking spaces within Parcel B. 
  
 6. Section 7.2.1 is amended by replacing all references therein to “Parcel II” with the phrase “Parcel A and Parcel B”, and Section 7.2 is amended to read in full as follows: 
  
 7.2 No Impairment or Reduction. Certain portions of the landscaping
irrigation system located on Parcel I serve the landscaping on Parcel A and Parcel B, certain portions of the landscaping irrigation system located on Parcel A and on Parcel B serve the landscaping on Parcel I, certain portions of the landscaping
irrigation system located on Parcel A serve the landscaping on Parcel B, and certain portions of the landscaping irrigation system located on Parcel B serve the landscaping on Parcel A. Subject to the terms of Section 7.2.4 below, no Owner
shall, nor shall any Owner permit its employees or agents to, reroute or otherwise modify the landscaping irrigation devices located on its Parcel in a manner which would reduce or otherwise impair the irrigation of another Owner’s Parcel.

  
 7. The last sentence of Section 7.2.4(a) shall be
replaced by the following: 
  
     In the
event an Owner determines that such work is necessary to implement a fair method of landscape irrigation at the Project, each Owner shall proportionately share in the costs of implementing such solution, with two-thirds ( 2/3) of such costs being paid by the Owner of Parcel I, two-ninths ( 2/9) of such costs being paid by the Owner of Parcel A, and one-ninth ( 1/9) of such costs being paid by the Owner of Parcel B (provided that (x) if the Owner of Parcel I elects to conduct such work as provided herein, the

  
  

 24 

 
Owner of Parcel A shall not be obligated to contribute more than $10,000 and the Owner of Parcel B shall not be obligated to contribute more than $5,000
toward the costs thereof, (y) if the Owner of Parcel A elects to perform such work, the Owner of Parcel I shall not be obligated to contribute more than $30,000 and the Owner of Parcel B shall not be obligated to contribute more than $5,000 toward
the costs thereof, and (z) if the Owner of Parcel B elects to perform such work, the Owner of Parcel I shall not be obligated to contribute more than $30,000 and the Owner of Parcel A shall not be obligated to contribute more than $10,000 toward the
costs thereof). 
  
 8. Section 8.2.1 is amended to read in
full as follows: 
  
 8.2.1 Cost Issues; Initial Allocation of
Costs. 
  
 (a) The parking lot lighting for each Parcel of
the Project is not separately metered for each Parcel, and a portion of the parking lot lighting located on Parcel I is served by electrical meters located on Parcel A and Parcel B, such that the Owners of Parcel A and Parcel B pay for a portion of
the lighting located on Parcel I. Furthermore, the metered electricity usage for the buildings on Parcel A and Parcel B include not only the lighting in the parking areas, but also lighting in the lobby and elevators of the such buildings. The
Owners estimate that approximately 25% of the utility bills for the parking lot lighting, lobby and elevators paid by the Owners of Parcel A and Parcel B represents the cost of parking lot lighting located on Parcel I. 
  
 (b) Consequently, the Owner of Parcel I shall pay to each of the Owners of
Parcel A and Parcel B an amount equal to 25% of the actual cost payable by such Owner to its electricity provider for the parking lot lighting, lobby and elevators of each building on its respective Parcel. On a monthly basis, the Owners of Parcel A
and Parcel B shall each submit to the Owner of Parcel I the monthly invoice from its electricity provider in respect of such separately metered electrical usage, and the Owner of Parcel I shall pay to each of the Owners of Parcel A and Parcel B 25%
of its invoice, such payment to be made within fifteen (15) days of receipt of each such invoice by the Owner of Parcel I. 
  
 9. The last sentence of Section 8.2.4(a) shall be replaced by the following: 
  
     In the event an Owner determines (after first attempting to agree upon a resolution as referenced
herein) that re-routing, re-rewiring and/or the installation of new metering is necessary to achieve a fair allocation of parking lot lighting costs, each Owner shall proportionately share in the cost of implementing such solution, with two-thirds
( 2/3) of such costs being paid by the Owner of Parcel I and one-third ( 1/3) of such costs being paid collectively by the Owners of Parcel A and Parcel B, unless only one of such Parcels is
affected thereby, in which event the Owner of such Parcel A or Parcel B shall alone pay one-third ( 1/3) of such
costs (provided that if the Owner of Parcel I elects to conduct such work as provided herein, the Owners of Parcel A and B shall not be obligated to contribute more than $20,000 toward the cost of implementing a change to the parking lot lighting
system and if the Owner of Parcel A or Parcel B elects to perform such work, the Owner of Parcel I shall not be obligated to contribute more than $40,000 toward the costs of implementing a change to the parking lot lighting system). If pursuant to
the foregoing the Owners of Parcel A and Parcel B, together, are to pay one-third ( 1/3) of the costs of
re-routing, re-rewiring and/or the installation of new metering, as among them, the Owner of Parcel A shall pay 66.67% of such costs and the Owner of Parcel B shall pay 33.33% of such costs. 
  
 10. The last sentence of Section 16.3 is amended by replacing the
phrase “If the two Parcels are further subdivided” with the phrase “If the three Parcels are further subdivided”. 
  
  

 25 

 11. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever the Owner of Parcel II is required
to pay or reimburse the Owner of Parcel I, such obligation shall be construed as the independent obligation of the Owner of Parcel A, as to 66.67% and the independent obligation of the Owner of Parcel B, as to 33.33%, it being expressly understood
that such obligations shall be separate and not joint as to each of the Owners of Parcel A and Parcel B. The foregoing shall affect Section 2.2, Article 9 and other pertinent provisions of the Declaration. By way of example, but not of limitation,
at Section 2.2 where it states that “the Owner of Parcel II agrees to pay to the Owner of Parcel I, upon receipt of an invoice therefor, one-third ( 1/3) of the actual costs incurred by the Owner of Parcel I for the maintenance and repair of the Primary Access Area”, such provision shall be construed to require that with respect to such payment
of one-third ( 1/3) of the costs, such obligation shall be borne independently by the Owner of Parcel A as to
66.67% and independently by the Owner of Parcel B as to 33.33%. 
  
 The original Declaration is hereby ratified and confirmed and all other terms of the original Declaration shall remain full force and effect, unaltered and unchanged by this Amendment. In the event of any conflict
between the provisions of this Amendment and the provisions of the original Declaration, the provisions of this Amendment shall prevail. Whether or not specifically amended by the provisions of this Amendment, all of the terms and provisions of the
original Declaration are hereby amended to the extent necessary to give effect to the purpose and intent of this Amendment. 
  
 This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which when taken together will
constitute one and the same instrument. The signature page of any counterpart may be detached therefrom without impairing the legal effect of the signature(s) thereon provided such signature page is attached to any other counterpart identical
thereto except having additional signature pages executed by other parties to this Amendment attached thereto. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Owners have executed this instrument the day and year first hereinabove written.

 E-1Amended and Restated 2001 Stock Option and Incentive Plan

 Exhibit 10.1 
  
 LEARNINGSTAR CORP. 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED 2001 STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN 
  
 1. Purpose. The purpose of this 2001 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to encourage key employees and directors of LearningStar Corp. (the “Company”), any future parent or
subsidiary of the Company (each a “Related Company” and, collectively, the “Related Companies”) and certain consultants of the Company or a Related Company, by providing opportunities to participate in the ownership of the
Company and its future growth through (a) the grant of options which qualify as “incentive stock options” (“ISOs”) under Section 422(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); (b) the grant of
options which do not qualify as ISOs (“Non-Qualified Options”); (c) awards of stock in the Company (“Awards”); and (d) opportunities to make direct purchases of stock in the Company (“Purchases”). Both ISOs and
Non-Qualified Options are referred to hereafter individually as an “Option” and collectively as “Options.” Options, Awards and authorizations to make Purchases are referred to hereafter collectively as “Stock Rights.”
As used herein, the terms “parent” and “subsidiary” mean “parent corporation” and “subsidiary corporation,” respectively, as those terms are defined in Section 424 of the Code. 
  
 2. Administration of the Plan. 
  
 A. Board or Committee Administration. The Plan shall
be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) or by a committee appointed by the Board (the “Committee”); provided that the Plan shall be administered: (i) to the extent required by applicable
regulations under Section 162(m) of the Code, by two or more “outside directors” (as defined in applicable regulations thereunder) and (ii) to the extent required by Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any
successor provision (“Rule 16b-3”), by two or more independent directors appointed by and holding office at the pleasure of the Board, each of whom is both a “non-employee director” as defined by Rule 16b-3 and an “outside
director” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code. Hereinafter, all references in this Plan to the “Committee” shall mean the Board if no Committee has been appointed. Subject to ratification of the grant or authorization of each
Stock Right by the Board (if so required by applicable state law), and subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall have the authority to (i) determine to whom (from among the class of employees eligible under paragraph 3 to receive ISOs)
ISOs shall be granted, and to whom (from among the class of individuals and entities eligible under paragraph 3 to receive Non-Qualified Options and Awards and to make Purchases) Non-Qualified Options, Awards and authorizations to make Purchases may
be granted; (ii) determine the time or times at which Options or Awards shall be granted or Purchases made; (iii) determine the purchase price of shares subject to each Option or Purchase, which prices shall not be less than the minimum price
specified in paragraph 6; (iv) determine whether each Option granted shall be an ISO or a Non-Qualified Option; (v) determine (subject to paragraph 7) the time or times when each Option shall become exercisable and the duration of the exercise
period; (vi) extend the period during which outstanding Options may be exercised; (vii) determine whether restrictions such as repurchase options are to be imposed on shares subject to Options, 

 Awards and Purchases and the nature of such restrictions, if any, (viii) interpret the Plan and prescribe
and rescind rules and regulations relating to it and (ix) to amend any outstanding Stock Rights; provided that no such amendment shall Affect the rights of optionees under the Plan without the written consent of such optionee. If the
Committee determines to issue a Non-Qualified Option, it shall take whatever actions it deems necessary, under Section 422 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, to ensure that such Option is not treated as an ISO. The
interpretation and construction by the Committee of any provisions of the Plan or of any Stock Right granted under it shall be final unless otherwise determined by the Board. The Committee may from time to time adopt such rules and regulations for
carrying out the Plan as it may deem advisable. No member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Stock Right granted under it. 
  
 B. Committee Actions. The Committee may select one of
its members as its chairman, and shall hold meetings at such time and places as it may determine. A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum and acts of a majority of the members of the Committee at a meeting at which a quorum is present,
or acts reduced to or and approved in writing by all the members of the Committee (if consistent with applicable state law), shall be the valid acts of the Committee. From time to time the Board may increase the size of the Committee and appoint
additional members thereof, remove members (with or without cause) and appoint new members in substitution therefor, fill vacancies however caused, or remove all members of the Committee and thereafter directly administer the Plan. 
  
 C. Grant of Stock Rights to Board Members. Stock
Rights may be granted to members of the Board. All grants of Stock Rights to members of the Board shall in all other respects be made in accordance with the provisions of this Plan applicable to other eligible persons. Consistent with the provisions
of the first sentence of paragraph 2(A) above, members of the Board who either (i) are eligible to receive grants of Stock Rights pursuant to the Plan or (ii) have been granted Stock Rights may vote on any matters affecting the administration of the
Plan or the grant of any Stock Rights pursuant to the Plan, except that no such member shall act upon the granting to himself or herself of Stock Rights, but any such member may be counted in determining the existence of a quorum at any meeting of
the Board during which action is taken with respect to the granting to such member of Stock Rights. 
  
 3. Eligible Employees and Others. ISOs may be granted only to employees of the Company or any Related Company. Non-Qualified Options, Awards and
authorizations to make Purchases may be granted to any employee, officer or director (whether or not also an employee) of the Company or any Related Company. Non-Qualified Options, Awards and authorizations to make Purchases may be also granted to
consultants of the Company or any Related Company if, and only if, (i) the consultant or adviser renders bona fide services to the Company or any Related Company; (ii) the services rendered by the consultant or adviser are not in connection with the
offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction and do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the securities of the Company or any Related Company; and (iii) the consultant or adviser is a natural person who has
contracted 
  

 2 

 directly with the Company or any Related Company to render such services. The granting of any Stock Right to any
individual or entity shall neither entitle that individual or entity to, nor disqualify such individual or entity from, participation in any other grant of Stock Rights. 
  
 4. Stock Authorized for Issuance under the Plan. 
  
 A. Number of Shares. The stock subject to Stock Rights shall be authorized but unissued shares of
common stock of the Company, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), or shares of Common Stock reacquired by the Company in any manner. The aggregate number of shares which may be issued pursuant to the Plan is 1,800,000, subject to
adjustment as provided in paragraph 13. If any Stock Right granted under the Plan shall expire or terminate for any reason without having been exercised in full or shall cease for any reason to be exercisable in whole or in part or shall be
repurchased by the Company, the shares of Common Stock subject to such Stock Right shall again be available for grants of Stock Rights under the Plan, provided however, that the cumulative number of such shares that may be so reissued under the Plan
shall not exceed 3,600,000. 
  
 B. Per
Participant Limit. Subject to adjustment as provided in paragraph 13, no participant in the Plan may be granted Stock Rights during any one fiscal year to purchase more than 200,000 shares of Common Stock. 
  
 5. Granting of Stock Rights. Stock Rights may be granted after the
Plan is approved by the Board, and Stock Rights may no longer be granted after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the
closing. The date of grant of a Stock Right under the Plan shall be the date specified by the Committee at the time it grants the Stock Right; provided, however, that such date shall not be prior to the date on which the Committee acts to
approve the grant. 
  
 6. Minimum Option Price; ISO
Limitations. 
  
 A. Price for
Non-Qualified Options, Awards and Purchases. The exercise price per share specified in the agreement relating to each Non-Qualified Option granted, and the purchase price per share of stock granted in any Award or authorized as a Purchase, under
the Plan shall in no event be less than the minimum legal consideration required therefor under the laws of any jurisdiction in which the Company or its successors in interest may be organized. Non-Qualified Options granted under the Plan, with an
exercise price less than the fair market value per share of Common Stock on the date of grant, are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code and any applicable regulations thereunder. Any such
Non-Qualified Options granted under the Plan shall be exercisable only upon the attainment of a pre-established, objective performance goal established by the Committee and subject to any additional limitations set forth in Section 162(m) of the
Code, including all amendments thereto. 
  
 B.
Price for ISOs. The exercise price per share specified in the agreement relating to each ISO granted under the Plan shall not be less than the fair market value per share of Common Stock on the date of such grant. In the case of an ISO to be
granted to 
  

 3 

 an employee owning stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all
classes of stock of the Company or any Related Company, the price per share specified in the agreement relating to such ISO shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the fair market value per share of Common Stock on the date of
grant. For purposes of determining stock ownership under this paragraph, the rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply. 
  
 C. $100,000 Annual Limitation on ISO Vesting. Each eligible employee may be granted Options treated as ISOs only to the extent
that, in the aggregate under this Plan and all incentive stock option plans of the Company and any Related Company, ISOs do not become exercisable for the first time by such employee during any calendar year with respect to stock having a fair
market value (determined at the time the ISOs were granted) in excess of $100,000. The Company intends to designate any Options granted in excess of such limitation as Non-Qualified Options. 
  
 D. Determination of Fair Market Value. If, at the
time an Option is granted under the Plan, the Company’s Common Stock is publicly traded, “fair market value” shall be determined as of the date of grant or, if the prices or quotes discussed in this sentence are unavailable for such
date, the last business day for which such prices or quotes are available prior to the date of grant and shall mean (i) the average (on that date) of the high and low prices of the Common Stock on the principal national securities exchange on which
the Common Stock is traded, if the Common Stock is then traded on a national securities exchange; or (ii) the last reported sale price (on that date) of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market, if the Common Stock is not then traded on a
national securities exchange; or (iii) the closing bid price (or average of bid prices) last quoted (on that date) by an established quotation service for over-the-counter securities, if the Common Stock is not reported on the Nasdaq National
Market. If the Common Stock is not publicly traded at the time an Option is granted under the Plan, “fair market value” shall mean the fair value of the Common Stock as determined by the Committee after taking into consideration all
factors which it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, recent sale and offer prices of the Common Stock in private transactions negotiated at arm’s length. 
  
 7. Option Duration. Subject to earlier termination as provided in paragraphs 9 and 10 or in the agreement relating to
such Option, each Option shall expire on the date specified by the Committee, but not more than (i) ten years from the date of grant in the case of Options generally, and (ii) five years from the date of grant in the case of ISOs granted to an
employee owning stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Related Company, as determined under paragraph 6(B). Subject to earlier termination as provided in
paragraphs 9 and 10, the term of each ISO shall be the term set forth in the original instrument granting such ISO, except with respect to any part of such ISO that is converted into a Non-Qualified Option pursuant to paragraph 17. 
  
 8. Exercise of Option. Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 9
through 12, each Option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable as follows: 
  

 4 

 A. Vesting. The Option shall either be fully exercisable on the date of grant or
shall become exercisable thereafter in such installments as the Committee may specify. 
  
 B. Full Vesting of Installments. Once an installment becomes exercisable it shall remain exercisable until expiration or
termination of the Option, unless otherwise specified by the Committee. 
  
 C. Partial Exercise. Each Option or installment may be exercised at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part, for up to the total number of shares with respect to which it is then exercisable.

  
 D. Acceleration of Vesting. The
Committee shall have the right to accelerate the date that any installment of any Option becomes exercisable; provided that the Committee shall not, without the consent of an optionee, accelerate the permitted exercise date of any installment
of any Option granted to any employee as an ISO (and not previously converted into a Non-Qualified Option pursuant to paragraph 17) if such acceleration would violate the annual vesting limitation contained in Section 422(d) of the Code, as
described in paragraph 6(C). 
  
 9. Termination of
Employment. Unless otherwise specified in the agreement relating to such ISO, if an ISO optionee ceases to be employed by the Company and all Related Companies other than by reason of death or disability as defined in paragraph 10, no further
installments of his or her ISOs shall become exercisable, and his or her ISOs shall terminate on the earlier of (a) ninety (90) days after the date of termination of his or her employment, or (b) their specified expiration dates, except to the
extent that such ISOs (or unexercised installments thereof) have been converted into Non-Qualified Options pursuant to paragraph 17. For purposes of this paragraph 9, employment shall be considered as continuing uninterrupted during any bona fide
leave of absence (such as those attributable to illness, military obligations or governmental service); provided that the period of such leave does not exceed 90 days or, if longer, any period during which such optionee’s right to
reemployment is guaranteed by statute. A bona fide leave of absence with the written approval of the Committee shall not be considered an interruption of employment under this paragraph 9, provided that such written approval contractually
obligates the Company or any Related Company to continue the employment of the optionee after the approved period of absence. ISOs granted under the Plan shall not be affected by any change of employment within or among the Company and Related
Companies, so long as the optionee continues to be an employee of the Company or any Related Company. Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give any grantee of any Stock Right the right to be retained in employment or other service by the Company
or any Related Company for any period of time. 
  
 10. Death;
Disability. 
  
 A. Death. If an ISO
optionee ceases to be employed by the Company and all Related Companies by reason of his or her death, any ISO owned by such optionee may be exercised, to the extent otherwise exercisable on the date of death, by the estate, personal representative
or beneficiary who has acquired the ISO by will or by the laws of 
  

 5 

 descent and distribution, until the earlier of (i) the specified expiration date of the ISO or (ii) 180
days from the date of the optionee’s death. 
  
 B. Disability. If an ISO optionee ceases to be employed by the Company and all Related Companies by reason of his or her disability, such optionee shall have the right to exercise any ISO held by him or her on the date of termination
of employment, for the number of shares for which he or she could have exercised it on that date, until the earlier of (i) the specified expiration date of the ISO or (ii) 180 days from the date of the termination of the optionee’s employment.
For the purposes of the Plan, the term “disability” shall mean “permanent and total disability” as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code or any successor statute. 
  
 11. Assignability. No Stock Right shall be assignable or transferable by the grantee except by will, or by the laws
of descent and distribution. Except as set forth in the previous sentence, during the lifetime of a grantee each Stock Right shall be exercisable only by such grantee. 
  
 12. Terms and Conditions of Options. Options shall be evidenced by instruments (which need not be identical) in such
forms as the Committee may from time to time approve. Such instruments shall conform to the terms and conditions set forth in paragraphs 6 through 11 hereof and may contain such other provisions as the Committee deems advisable which are not
inconsistent with the Plan, including restrictions applicable to shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Options. The Committee may specify that any Non-Qualified Option shall be subject to the restrictions set forth herein with respect to
ISOs, or to such other termination and cancellation provisions as the Committee may determine. The Committee may from time to time confer authority and responsibility on one or more of its own members and/or one or more officers of the Company to
execute and deliver such instruments. The proper officers of the Company are authorized and directed to take any and all action necessary or advisable from time to time to carry out the terms of such instruments. 
  
 13. Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of any of the following events,
an optionee’s rights with respect to Options granted to such optionee hereunder shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided, unless otherwise specifically provided in the written agreement between the optionee and the Company relating to such
Option: 
  
 A. Stock Dividends and Stock
Splits. If the shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares or if the Company shall issue any shares of Common Stock as a stock dividend on its outstanding Common Stock, the number of shares
of Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise of Options shall be appropriately increased or decreased proportionately, and appropriate adjustments shall be made in the purchase price per share to reflect such subdivision, combination or stock
dividend. 
  
 B. Consolidations or
Mergers. If the Company is to be consolidated with or acquired by another entity in a merger or other reorganization in which the holders of the outstanding voting stock of the Company immediately preceding the consummation of such event, shall,
immediately following such event, hold, as a group, less than a 
  

 6 

 majority of the voting securities of the surviving or successor entity, or in the event of a sale of all
or substantially all of the Company’s assets or otherwise (each, an “Acquisition”), the Committee or the board of directors of any entity assuming the obligations of the Company hereunder (the “Successor Board”), shall, as
to outstanding Options, either (i) make appropriate provision for the continuation of such Options by substituting on an equitable basis for the shares then subject to such Options either (a) the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding
shares of Common Stock in connection with the Acquisition, (b) shares of stock of the surviving or successor corporation or (c) such other securities as the Successor Board deems appropriate, the fair market value of which shall not materially
exceed the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Options immediately preceding the Acquisition; or (ii) upon written notice to the optionees, provide that all Options must be exercised, to the extent then exercisable or to
be exercisable as a result of the Acquisition, within a specified number of days of the date of such notice, at the end of which period the Options shall terminate; or (iii) terminate all Options in exchange for a cash payment equal to the excess of
the fair market value of the shares subject to such Options (to the extent then exercisable or to be exercisable as a result of the Acquisition) over the exercise price thereof. 
  
 C. Recapitalization or Reorganization. In the event of a recapitalization or reorganization of the
Company (other than a transaction described in subparagraph B above) pursuant to which securities of the Company or of another corporation are issued with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock, an optionee upon exercising an Option shall
be entitled to receive for the purchase price paid upon such exercise the securities he or she would have received if he or she had exercised such Option prior to such recapitalization or reorganization. 
  
 D. Modification of ISOs. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any adjustments made pursuant to subparagraphs A, B or C with respect to ISOs shall be made only after the Committee, after consulting with counsel for the Company, determines whether such adjustments would constitute a
“modification” of such ISOs (as that term is defined in Section 424 of the Code) or would cause any adverse tax consequences for the holders of such ISOs. If the Committee determines that such adjustments made with respect to ISOs would
constitute a modification of such ISOs or would cause adverse tax consequences to the holders, it may refrain from making such adjustments. 
  
 E. Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, each Option shall terminate
immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action or at such other time and subject to such other conditions as shall be determined by the Committee. 
  
 F. Issuances of Securities. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares
of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares subject to Options. No adjustments 
  

 7 

 shall be made for dividends paid in cash or in property other than securities of the Company. 

 
 G. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall
be issued under the Plan and the optionee shall receive from the Company cash in lieu of such fractional shares. 
  
 H. Adjustments. Upon the happening of any of the events described in subparagraphs A, B or C above, the class and aggregate number
of shares set forth in paragraph 4 hereof that are subject to Stock Rights which previously have been or subsequently may be granted under the Plan shall also be appropriately adjusted to reflect the events described in such subparagraphs. The
Committee or the Successor Board shall determine the specific adjustments to be made under this paragraph 13 and, subject to paragraph 2, its determination shall be conclusive. 
  
 14. Means of Exercising Options. An Option (or any part or installment thereof) shall be exercised by giving written
notice to the Company at its principal office address, or to such transfer agent as the Company shall designate. Such notice shall identify the Option being exercised and specify the number of shares as to which such Option is being exercised,
accompanied by full payment of the purchase price therefor either (a) in United States dollars in cash or by check, (b) at the discretion of the Committee, through delivery of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal as of the date of
the exercise to the cash exercise price of the Option, (c) at the discretion of the Committee, by delivery of the grantee’s personal recourse note bearing interest payable not less than annually at no less than 100% of the lowest applicable
Federal rate, as defined in Section 1274(d) of the Code, (d) at the discretion of the Committee and consistent with applicable law, through the delivery of an assignment to the Company of a sufficient amount of the proceeds from the sale of the
Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option and an authorization to the broker or selling agent to pay that amount to the Company, which sale shall be at the participant’s direction at the time of exercise, or (e) at the discretion of the
Committee, by any combination of (a), (b), (c) and (d) above. If the Committee exercises its discretion to permit payment of the exercise price of an ISO by means of the methods set forth in clauses (b), (c), (d) or (e) of the preceding sentence,
such discretion shall be exercised in writing at the time of the grant of the ISO in question. The holder of an Option shall not have the rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares covered by such Option until the date of issuance of a stock
certificate to such holder for such shares. Except as expressly provided above in paragraph 13 with respect to changes in capitalization and stock dividends, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or similar rights for which the record date is
before the date such stock certificate is issued. 
  
 15.
Conditions on Delivery of Stock. The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan or to remove restrictions from shares previously delivered under the Plan until (i) all conditions of the Award
have been met or removed to the satisfaction of the Company, (ii) in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, all other legal matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of such shares have been satisfied, including any applicable
securities laws and any applicable stock exchange or stock market rules and regulations, and (iii) the optionee has executed and delivered to the Company such representations or agreements as the Company may consider appropriate to satisfy the
requirements of any applicable laws, rules or regulations. 
  

 8 

 16. Term and Amendment of Plan. This Plan shall be submitted for the approval of the
Company’s stockholders within twelve months after the date of the Board’s initial approval of the Plan. The Plan shall expire after the 10th anniversary of the closing (except as to Options outstanding on that date). 
  
 A. The Board may at any time wholly or partially amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan. However, without approval of the
Company’s stockholders given within twelve (12) months before or after action by the Board, no action of the Board may, except as provided in paragraph 13, increase the limits imposed in paragraph 4 on the maximum number of shares which may be
issued under the Plan or extend the term of the Plan under this paragraph 16. 
  
 B. The Board shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with applicable tax laws. 
  
 No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any optionee, unless mutually
agreed otherwise between the optionee and the Company, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the optionee and the Company. Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Committee’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it
hereunder with respect to Stock Rights granted or awarded under the Plan prior to the date of such termination. 
  
 17. Conversion of ISOs into Non-Qualified Options. The Committee, at the written request or with the written consent of any optionee, may in its
discretion take such actions as may be necessary to convert such optionee’s ISOs (or any installments or portions of installments thereof) that have not been exercised on the date of conversion into Non-Qualified Options at any time prior to
the expiration of such ISOs, regardless of whether the optionee is an employee of the Company or a Related Company at the time of such conversion. Such actions may include, but shall not be limited to, extending the exercise period or reducing the
exercise price of the appropriate installments of such ISOs. At the time of such conversion, the Committee (with the consent of the optionee) may impose such conditions on the exercise of the resulting Non-Qualified Options as the Committee in its
discretion may determine, provided that such conditions shall not be inconsistent with this Plan. Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give any optionee the right to have such optionee’s ISOs converted into Non-Qualified Options, and
no such conversion shall occur until and unless the Committee takes appropriate action. 
  
 18. Application of Funds. The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of shares pursuant to Options granted and Purchases authorized under the Plan shall be used for general corporate purposes.

  
 19. Notice to Company of Disqualifying Disposition. By
accepting an ISO granted under the Plan, each optionee agrees to notify the Company in writing immediately after such optionee makes a Disqualifying Disposition (as described in Sections 421, 422 and 424 of the Code and regulations thereunder) of
any stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of ISOs granted under the Plan. A Disqualifying Disposition is generally any disposition occurring on or 
  

 9 

 before the later of (a) the date two years following the date the ISO was granted or (b) the date one year following the
date the ISO was exercised. 
  
 20. Withholding of Additional
Income Taxes. Upon the exercise of a Non-Qualified Option, the grant of an Award, the making of a Purchase of Common Stock for less than its fair market value, the making of a Disqualifying Disposition (as defined in paragraph 19), the vesting
or transfer of restricted stock or securities acquired on the exercise of an Option hereunder, or the making of a distribution or other payment with respect to such stock or securities, the Company may withhold taxes in respect of amounts that
constitute compensation includible in gross income. The Committee in its discretion may condition (i) the exercise of an Option, (ii) the grant of an Award, (iii) the making of a Purchase of Common Stock for less than its fair market value, or (iv)
the vesting or transferability of restricted stock or securities acquired by exercising an Option, on the grantee’s making satisfactory arrangement for such withholding. Such arrangement may include payment by the grantee in cash or by check of
the amount of the withholding taxes or, at the discretion of the Committee, by the grantee’s delivery of previously held shares of Common Stock or the withholding from the shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon exercise of a Option
shares having an aggregate fair market value equal to the amount of such withholding taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock which may be withheld upon the exercise or vesting of any right under
the Plan, or which may be repurchased from the participant within six months after such shares were acquired by the participant from the Company, in order to satisfy the participant’s federal and state income and payroll tax liabilities with
respect to the exercise or vesting of the right shall be limited to the number of shares which have a fair market value equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state income
tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income. 
  
 21. No Right To Employment or Other Status. No person shall have any claim or right to be granted a Stock Right, and the grant of a Stock Right shall not be construed as giving the grantee the right to
continued employment or any other relationship with the Company. The Company expressly reserves the right at any time to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship with a grantee free from any liability or claim under the Plan. 
  
 22. Governmental Regulation. The Company’s obligation to sell and
deliver shares of the Common Stock under this Plan is subject to the approval of any governmental authority required in connection with the authorization, issuance or sale of such shares. Government regulations may impose reporting or other
obligations on the Company with respect to the Plan. For example, the Company may be required to send tax information statements to employees and former employees that exercise ISOs under the Plan, and the Company may be required to file tax
information returns reporting the income received by grantees of Options in connection with the Plan. 
  
 23. Governing Law. The validity and construction of the Plan and the instruments evidencing Options shall be governed by the laws of the state of
Delaware.
