STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 

 

			
	Grant of Option	  	 Subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, this Stock Option Agreement (the
“Agreement”) and the Plan, the Company has granted you an option to purchase up to the total number of shares specified in the Notice of Stock Option Grant at the exercise price indicated in the Notice of Stock Option Grant.

 
 All capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned in this
Agreement, the Notice of Stock Option Grant or the Plan.

		
	Tax Treatment	  	This option is intended to be an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code or a nonstatutory stock option, as provided in the Notice of Stock Option Grant. However,
even if this option is designated as an incentive stock option in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, it shall be deemed to be a nonstatutory stock option to the extent it does not qualify as an incentive stock option under federal tax law, including
under the $100,000 annual limitation under Section 422(d) of the Code.
		
	Vesting	  	 This option vests and becomes exercisable in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of Stock Option
Grant.
  
 In no event will this option vest or become exercisable for
additional shares after your Service has terminated for any reason.

		
	Term	  	This option expires in any event at the close of business at Company headquarters on the day before the 10th anniversary of the Date of Grant, as shown in the Notice of Stock Option
Grant. (This option will expire earlier if your Service terminates, as described below, and this option may be terminated earlier as provided in Article 9 of the Plan.)
		
	Termination of Service	  	If your Service terminates for any reason, this option will expire immediately to the extent the option is unvested as of your termination date and does not vest as a result of your
termination of Service. The Company determines when your Service terminates for this purpose.
		
	Regular Termination	  	If your Service terminates for any reason except death or total and permanent disability, then this option, to the extent vested as of your termination date, will expire at the
close of business at Company headquarters on the date three months after your termination date.
		
	Death	  	If you die before your Service terminates, then this option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date 12 months after the date of
death.

			
	Disability	  	 If your Service terminates because of your total and permanent disability, then this option will expire at the close of business at
Company headquarters on the date 12 months after your termination date.
  

For all purposes under this Agreement, “total and permanent disability” means that you are unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity
by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted, or can be expected to last, for a continuous period of not less than one year.

		
	Leaves of Absence and Part-Time Work	  	 For purposes of this option, your Service does not terminate when you go on a military leave, a sick leave or another bona
fide leave of absence, if the leave was approved by the Company in writing and if continued crediting of Service is required by applicable law, the Company’s leave of absence policy, or the terms of your leave. However, your Service
terminates when the approved leave ends, unless you immediately return to active work; provided that, if reemployment upon expiration of the approved leave is not guaranteed by statute or contract, then any incentive stock option shall cease to be
treated as such and shall instead be treated as a nonstatutory stock option beginning six months following the first day of such leave.
  

If you go on a leave of absence, then the vesting schedule specified in the Notice of Stock Option Grant may be adjusted in accordance with the
Company’s leave of absence policy or the terms of your leave. If you commence working on a part-time basis, the Company may adjust the vesting schedule so that the rate of vesting is commensurate with your reduced work
schedule.

		
	Restrictions on Exercise	  	The Company will not permit you to exercise this option if the issuance of shares at that time would violate any law or regulation.
		
	Notice of Exercise	  	 When you wish to exercise this option, you must notify the Company by filing the proper “Notice of Exercise” form at the
address given on the form. Your notice must specify how many shares you wish to purchase. The notice will be effective when the Company receives it.
  

However, if you wish to exercise this option by executing a same-day sale (as described below), you must follow the instructions of the Company and the
broker who will execute the sale.
  
 If someone else wants to exercise this
option after your death, that person must prove to the Company’s satisfaction that he or she is entitled to do so.
  
 You may only exercise your option for whole shares.

  
 3 

			
		
	Form of Payment	  	 When you submit your notice of exercise, you must include payment of the option exercise price for the shares that you are
purchasing. To the extent permitted by applicable law, payment may be made in one (or a combination of two or more) of the following forms:
  

•      By delivering to the Company your personal check, a cashier’s
check or a money order, or arranging for a wire transfer.
  
 •      By delivering to the Company certificates for shares of Company stock that you own, along with any forms needed to effect a transfer of those shares to the
Company. The value of the shares, determined as of the effective date of the option exercise, will be applied to the option exercise price. Instead of surrendering shares of Company stock, you may attest to the ownership of those shares on a form
provided by the Company and have the same number of shares subtracted from the option shares issued to you.
  

•      By giving to a securities broker approved by the Company irrevocable
directions to sell all or part of your option shares and to deliver to the Company, from the sale proceeds, an amount sufficient to pay the option exercise price and any withholding taxes. (The balance of the sale proceeds, if any, will be delivered
to you.) The directions must be given in accordance with the instructions of the Company and the broker. This exercise method is sometimes called a “same-day sale.”

		
	Withholding Taxes	  	You will not be allowed to exercise this option unless you make arrangements acceptable to the Company to pay any withholding taxes that may be due as a result of the option
exercise. These arrangements include payment in cash. With the Company’s consent, these arrangements may also include (a) payment from the proceeds of the sale of shares through a Company-approved broker, (b) withholding shares of
Company stock that otherwise would be issued to you when you exercise this option with a fair market value no greater than the minimum amount required to be withheld by law, (c) surrendering shares that you previously acquired with a fair
market value no greater than the minimum amount required to be withheld by law, or (d) withholding cash from other compensation. The fair market value of withheld or surrendered shares, determined as of the date when taxes otherwise would have
been withheld in cash, will be applied to the withholding taxes.
		
	Restrictions on Resale	  	You agree not to sell any option shares at a time when applicable laws, Company policies or an agreement between the Company and its underwriters prohibit a sale. This
restriction will apply as long as your Service continues and for such period of time after the termination of your Service as the Company may specify.

  
 4 

			
	Transfer of Option	  	 Prior to your death, only you may exercise this option. You cannot transfer or assign this option. For instance, you may not sell
this option or use it as security for a loan. If you attempt to do any of these things, this option will immediately become invalid. You may, however, dispose of this option in your will or by means of a written beneficiary designation; provided
that your beneficiary or a representative of your estate acknowledges and agrees in writing in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan as if such beneficiary or the estate were
you.
  
 Regardless of any marital property settlement agreement, the Company
is not obligated to honor a notice of exercise from your former spouse, nor is the Company obligated to recognize your former spouse’s interest in your option in any other way.

		
	Retention Rights	  	Your option or this Agreement does not give you the right to be retained by the Company, a Parent, Subsidiary, or an Affiliate in any capacity. The Company and its Parents,
Subsidiaries, and Affiliates reserve the right to terminate your Service at any time, with or without cause.
		
	Stockholder Rights	  	You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights as a stockholder of the Company until you have exercised this option by giving the required notice to the Company, paying the
exercise price, and satisfying any applicable withholding taxes. No adjustments are made for dividends or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before you exercise this option, except as described in the Plan.
		
	Adjustments	  	In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in Company stock, the number of shares covered by this option and the exercise price per share will be
adjusted pursuant to the Plan.
		
	Effect of Significant Corporate Transactions	  	If the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation, or certain change in control transactions, then this option will be subject to the applicable provisions of Article 9 of the
Plan.
		
	Applicable Law	  	This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to its choice-of-law provisions).

  
 5 

			
	The Plan and Other Agreements	  	 The text of the Plan is incorporated in this Agreement by reference. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of
the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan will prevail.
  
 The Plan, this Agreement and the Notice of Stock Option Grant constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding this option. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations
concerning this option are superseded. This Agreement may be amended only by another written agreement between the parties.

STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT 

 

			
	Grant of Units	  	 Subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Notice of Stock Unit Award, this Stock Unit Agreement (the
“Agreement”) and the Plan, the Company has granted to you the number of stock units set forth in the Notice of Stock Unit Award.
  

All capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned in this Agreement, the Notice of Stock Unit Award or the
Plan.

		
	Payment for Units	  	No payment is required for the stock units that you are receiving.
		
	Vesting	  	The stock units vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of Stock Unit Award. No additional stock units vest after your Service has terminated for any
reason.
		
	Forfeiture	  	If your Service terminates for any reason, then your stock units will be forfeited to the extent that they have not vested before the termination date and do not vest as a result of
the termination of your Service. This means that any stock units that have not vested under this Agreement will be cancelled immediately. You receive no payment for stock units that are forfeited. The Company determines when your Service terminates
for this purpose.
		
	 Leaves of Absence

and Part-Time
 Work
	  	For purposes of this award, your Service does not terminate when you go on a military leave, a sick leave or another bona fide leave of absence, if the leave was approved by
the Company in writing and if continued crediting of Service is required by applicable law, the Company’s leave of absence policy, or the terms of your leave. However, your Service terminates when the approved leave ends, unless you immediately
return to active work.
		
		  	If you go on a leave of absence, then the vesting schedule specified in the Notice of Stock Unit Award may be adjusted in accordance with the Company’s leave of absence policy
or the terms of your leave. If you commence working on a part-time basis, the Company may adjust the vesting schedule so that the rate of vesting is commensurate with your reduced work schedule.

			
		
	Settlement of Units	  	 Each stock unit will be settled on the first Permissible Trading Day that occurs on or after the day when the stock unit vests. However,
each stock unit must be settled not later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the stock unit vests.
  

At the time of settlement, you will receive one share of the Company’s common stock for each vested stock unit. But the Company, at its sole
discretion, may substitute an equivalent amount of cash if the distribution of stock is not reasonably practicable due to the requirements of applicable law. The amount of cash will be determined on the basis of the market value of the
Company’s common stock at the time of settlement.
  
 No fractional
shares will be issued upon settlement.

		
	 “Permissible

Trading Day”
	  	 “Permissible Trading Day” means a day that satisfies each of the following requirements:

 

•      The Nasdaq Global Market is open for trading on that day;

 

•      Under the Company’s [Securities Trading Policy], you are
permitted to sell shares of the Company’s common stock on that day; and
  
 •      You are not prohibited from selling shares of the Company’s common stock on that day by a written agreement between you and the Company or a third
party.

		
	Section 409A	  	This paragraph applies only if the Company determines that you are a “specified employee,” as defined in the regulations under Code Section 409A at the time of your
“separation from service,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) and it is determined that settlement of these stock units is not exempt from Code Section 409A. If this paragraph applies, then any stock units that otherwise
would have been settled during the first six months following your “separation from service” will instead be settled on the first business day following the earlier of (i) the six-month anniversary of your separation from service, or (ii)
your death.
		
	Nature of Units	  	Your stock units are mere bookkeeping entries. They represent only the Company’s unfunded and unsecured promise to issue shares of common stock (or distribute cash) on a future
date. As a holder of stock units, you have no rights other than the rights of a general creditor of the Company.

  
 3 

			
		
	No Voting Rights or Dividends	  	Your stock units carry neither voting rights nor rights to cash dividends. You have no rights as a stockholder of the Company unless and until your stock units are settled by
issuing shares of the Company’s common stock.
		
	 Units

Nontransferable
	  	You may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of any stock units. For instance, you may not use your stock units as security for a loan.
		
	Beneficiary Designation	  	You may dispose of your stock units in a written beneficiary designation. A beneficiary designation must be filed with the Company on the proper form. It will be recognized only if
it has been received at the Company’s headquarters before your death. If you file no beneficiary designation or if none of your designated beneficiaries survives you, then your estate will receive any vested stock units that you hold at the
time of your death.
		
	Withholding Taxes	  	 No stock certificates (or electronic equivalent) or cash will be distributed to you unless you have made arrangements satisfactory to
the Company for the payment of any withholding taxes that are due as a result of the vesting or settlement of stock units. At the discretion of the Company, these arrangements may include (a) payment in cash, (b) payment from the proceeds of
the sale of shares through a Company-approved broker, (c) withholding shares of Company stock that otherwise would be issued to you when the stock units are settled with a fair market value no greater than the minimum amount required to be
withheld by law, (d) surrendering shares that you previously acquired with a fair market value no greater than the minimum amount required to be withheld by law, or (e) withholding cash from other compensation. The fair market value of withheld or
surrendered shares, determined as of the date when taxes otherwise would have been withheld in cash, will be applied to the withholding taxes.
  

To the extent you fail to make satisfactory arrangements for the payment of any required withholding taxes, you will permanently forfeit the applicable
stock units.

		
	 Restrictions on

Resale
	  	You agree not to sell any shares at a time when applicable laws, Company policies or an agreement between the Company and its underwriters prohibit a sale. This restriction will
apply as long as your Service continues and for such period of time after the termination of your Service as the Company may specify.

  
 4 

			
		
	Retention Rights	  	Your award or this Agreement does not give you the right to be retained by the Company, a Parent, Subsidiary or an Affiliate in any capacity. The Company and its Parents,
Subsidiaries and Affiliates reserve the right to terminate your Service at any time, with or without cause.
		
	Adjustments	  	In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in Company stock, the number of your stock units will be adjusted accordingly, as the Company may determine
pursuant to the Plan.
		
	 Effect of Significant Corporate
 Transactions
	  	If the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation, or certain change in control transactions, then your stock units will be subject to the applicable provisions of Article 9 of
the Plan, provided that any action taken must either (a) preserve the exemption of your stock units from Section 409A of the Code or (b) comply with Section 409A of the Code.
		
	Applicable Law	  	This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to its choice-of-law provisions).
		
	The Plan and Other Agreements	  	 The text of the Plan is incorporated in this Agreement by reference. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of
the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan will prevail.
  
 The Plan, this Agreement and the Notice of Stock Unit Award constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding this award. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations
concerning this award are superseded. This Agreement may be amended only by another written agreement between the parties.
