French Sub-Plan under the 2009 Stock Plan and related forms of agreements

 Exhibit 10.3 
 RULES OF THE BROCADE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS, INC. 
 2009 STOCK PLAN FOR
FRENCH GRANTEES 
  

	I.	GENERAL. 

  

	 	1.	Introduction. 

 The board of directors (the “Board”) of Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) has established the Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. 2009 Stock Plan, as amended from
time to time (the “U.S. Plan”) for the benefit of certain eligible persons, including employees of the Company and its parent and subsidiary corporations, including its French subsidiary corporations of which the Company holds directly or
indirectly at least 10% of the share capital (the “French Subsidiaries”). Section 4(b) of the U.S. Plan specifically authorizes the Administrator (as defined in the U.S. Plan) to approve the forms of award agreements used under the
U.S. Plan; to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the U.S. Plan, of an award granted under the U.S. Plan; to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purposes of
satisfying applicable foreign laws; and to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the U.S. Plan. The Administrator has determined that it is advisable to establish a sub-plan for the purpose of permitting stock
options and restricted stock units granted to eligible persons to qualify for the favorable tax and social security treatment available for such grants in France. The Administrator, therefore, intends to establish a sub-plan of the U.S. Plan for the
purpose of granting stock options that qualify for the favorable tax and social security treatment in France applicable to stock options granted under the Sections L. 225-177 to L. 225-186-1 of the French Commercial Code, as amended
(“French-qualified Options”), and restricted stock units which qualify for the favorable tax and social security treatment in France applicable to shares granted for no consideration under Sections L. 225-197-1 to L. 225-197-6 of the
French Commercial Code, as amended (“French-qualified Restricted Stock Units”), to qualifying participants who are resident in France for French tax purposes and/or subject to the French social security regime (the “French
Grantees”). 
 The terms of the U.S. Plan applicable to stock options and restricted stock units, as set out in Appendix 1
hereto, shall, subject to the limitations in the following rules, constitute the Rules of the Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. 2009 Stock Plan for French Grantees (the “French Plan”). 

Under the French Plan, a French Grantee will be granted Options and Restricted Stock Units only as defined in Section I.2
hereunder. The provisions of the U.S. Plan permitting the grant of Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Performance Shares, and Performance Units are not applicable to grants made under the French Plan. 

 

	 	2.	Definitions. 

 Any capitalized term used in this French Plan without definition shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the U.S. Plan. 

  
 1 

 The terms set forth below shall have the following meanings: 

(a) The term “Closed Period” means specific periods as set forth in Section L. 225-197-1 of the French
Commercial Code, as amended, during which French-qualified Options cannot be granted, as described in Section II.1 below, including: 
 (i) Ten quotation days preceding and following the disclosure to the public of the consolidated financial statements or the annual statements of the Company; 

(ii) Any period during which the corporate management of the Company possesses material information which could, if
disclosed to the public, significantly impact the quotation of the Shares, until ten quotation days after the day such information is disclosed to the public; or 

(iii) twenty quotation days following the distribution of a dividend (i.e., the ex-dividend date) or a general right to
subscribe to the Company’s Shares (i.e., a rights offering). 
 The term “Closed Period” means the
periods set out in (i) and (ii) only for the sale or transfer of Shares as described in Section III.1(b) below. If French law or regulations are amended after adoption of this French Plan to modify the definition and/or the applicability
of the Closed Periods to French-qualified Options and/or French-qualified Restricted Stock Units, such amendments shall become applicable to any French-qualified Options and French-qualified Restricted Stock Units granted under this French Plan, to
the extent permitted or required by French law. 
 For French-qualified Options only, if the Company grants
options on a date during an applicable Closed Period, the Date of Grant for French Grantees shall be the first date following the expiration of the Closed Period, provided such date is not prohibited under the U.S. Plan rules. 

(b) The term “Date of Grant” shall be the date set out in Section 21 of the U.S. Plan on which the
Administrator both: 
 (i) designated the French Grantee; and 

(ii) specified the terms and conditions of the French-qualified Options and/or French-qualified Restricted Stock Units,
including the exercise price of the French-qualified Options; the number of Shares to be issued at a future date (or the method by which the number of Shares to be issued at a future date is to be determined); the conditions for the vesting of the
French-qualified Options and/or French-qualified Restricted Stock Units; the conditions for the issuance of the Shares underlying the French-qualified Restricted Stock Units by the Company, if any; the conditions for exercising the French-qualified
Options; and the conditions for the transferability of the Shares once issued, if any. 
 (c) The term
“Disability” means disability as defined in the U.S. Plan that also constitutes a disability under categories 2 and 3 of Section L. 341-1 of the French Social Security Code and subject to the fulfillment of related conditions. 

  
 2 

 (d) The term “Options” shall, in addition to the meaning set out
in the U.S. Plan under Section 2(w), include the following: 
 (i) purchase options, which are rights to
acquire Shares repurchased by the Company prior to the date on which the Options become exercisable; or 
 (ii)
subscription options, which are rights to subscribe for newly-issued Shares. 
 (e) The term “Restricted
Stock Unit” shall have the meaning set out in the U.S. Plan as limited by the following definition: a promise by the Company to issue to a French Grantee, at a future date, for no cash consideration, one Share for each Restricted Stock Unit
granted to a French Grantee, provided the French Grantee remains employed by the French Subsidiary or the Company, and for which any dividend and voting rights are attached only upon the issuance of the Shares at the time of vesting of the
Restricted Stock Units. 
 (f) The term “Shares” means shares of common stock of the Company as set out
in the U.S. Plan; 
 (g) The term “Vesting Date” for Restricted Stock Units means the relevant date on
which Restricted Stock Units are vested, as specified by the Administrator, and the French Grantees are entitled to receive the Shares of the Company underlying the Restricted Stock Units. To qualify for the French favorable tax and social security
regime, such Vesting Date shall not occur prior to the second anniversary of the Date of Grant, or such other period as is required to comply with the minimum mandatory vesting period applicable to French-qualified Restricted Stock Units under
Section L. 225-197-1 of the French Commercial Code, as amended, or the relevant sections of the French Tax Code or the French Social Security Code, as amended, to benefit from the favorable tax and social security regime and provided any additional
conditions for the vesting that may be provided for in the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement are satisfied. 
  

	 	3.	Eligibility to Participate. 

 (a) Notwithstanding any other term of this French Plan, French-qualified Options and French-qualified Restricted Stock Units may be granted only to French Grantees who hold less than ten percent
(10%) of the outstanding Shares of the Company (including unvested Restricted Stock Units and unvested Options) and who otherwise satisfy the eligibility conditions of Section 5 of the U.S. Plan. 

(b) Subject to Section I.3(c) below, the following persons shall be eligible to receive, at the discretion of the
Administrator, French-qualified Options and French-qualified Restricted Stock Units under this French Plan, provided they also satisfy the eligibility conditions of Section 5 of the U.S. Plan: 

 

	 	(i)	any French Grantee who, on the Date of Grant and to the extent required under French law, is (A) employed under the terms and conditions of an employment contract
(“contrat de travail”) by a French Subsidiary, or (B) a managing corporate officer (as described in I.3(c) below) of a French Subsidiary, and 

  
 3 

	 	(ii)	to the extent permissible under French tax and social security laws, including guidelines and specific tax or social security rulings issued by French tax and social
security authorities, any individual who is otherwise employed by the Company or a Subsidiary even if the individual is not French tax resident and/or subject to French social contribution regime at the Date of Grant and such an individual shall be
considered, to the extent applicable (as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion), as a French Grantee for purposes of this French Plan. 

(c) French-qualified Options and French-qualified Restricted Stock Units may not be issued to corporate officers of French
Subsidiaries, other than the managing corporate officers (i.e., “mandataires sociaux,” Président du Conseil d’Administration, Directeur Général, Directeur Général
Délégué, Membre du Directoire, Gérant de Sociétés par actions) unless the corporate officer is an employee of a French Subsidiary, as defined by French law. 

 

	 	4.	Number of Shares Granted and Shareholder Approval. 

 The U.S. Plan and the share limitation as set forth in Section 3(a) of the U.S. Plan have been authorized by the Company’s shareholders for grants to French Grantees and such authorization is
intended to meet the requirements of Sections L. 225-177 and L. 225-179 of the French Commercial Code for French-qualified Options and of Section L.225-197-1 of the French Commercial Code for French-qualified Restricted Stock Units, to the extent
applicable to grants made by the Company. 
  

	 	5.	Delivery of Shares Only. 

 Only Shares and not cash payments may be delivered to any French Grantee as a result of the French-qualified Options and French-qualified Restricted Stock Units granted under this French Plan. 

 

	 	6.	Non-Transferability. 

 Notwithstanding any provision in the U.S. Plan to the contrary and, except in the case of death, French-qualified Options and French-qualified Restricted Stock Units cannot be transferred to any third
party. In addition, during the lifetime of the French Grantee, the French-qualified Options are exercisable only by the French Grantee, subject to Sections II.3(c) and II.4 below. The Shares underlying the French-qualified Restricted Stock Units may
not be transferred to any third party and shall be issued only to the French Grantee during his or her lifetime, subject to Sections III.1(a) and III.2 below. 

  
 4 

	 	7.	Disqualification of French-qualified Options and French-qualified Restricted Stock Units. 

In the event changes are made to the terms and conditions of the French-qualified Options and/or French-qualified
Restricted Stock Units due to any requirements under the Applicable Laws, or by decision of the Company’s shareholders, the Board or the Administrator, the Options and/or Restricted Stock Units may no longer qualify as French-qualified Options
and French-qualified Restricted Stock Units. 
 If the Options and/or Restricted Stock Units no longer qualify as
French-qualified Options and/or French-qualified Restricted Stock Units, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, determine to lift, shorten or terminate certain restrictions applicable to the vesting or exercisability of the Options, the
vesting of the Restricted Stock Units or to the sale of the Shares underlying the Options and/or Restricted Stock Units which have been imposed under this French Plan or in the applicable Award Agreement delivered to the French Grantee in order to
achieve the specific tax and social security treatment applicable to French-qualified Options and/or French-qualified Restricted Stock Units. Should the awards no longer be qualified the French Grantee shall be liable to French income tax and social
security to the extent permissible under French law. 
  

	 	8.	Employment Rights. 

 The adoption of this French Plan shall not confer upon the French Grantees, or any employees of a French Subsidiary, any employment rights and shall not be construed as a part of any employment contracts
that a French Subsidiary has with its employees. 
  

	 	9.	Amendments. 

 Subject to the terms of the U.S. Plan, the Board or Administrator reserves the right to amend or terminate this French Plan at any time in accordance with applicable French law. 

 

	II.	FRENCH-QUALIFIED OPTIONS. 

  

	 	1.	Closed Period. 

 French-qualified Options may not be granted during a Closed Period to the extent such Closed Periods are applicable to French-qualified Options granted by the Company. If the Company grants options on a
date during an applicable Closed Period, the Date of Grant for French Grantees shall be the first date following the expiration of the Closed Period, provided such date is not prohibited under the U.S. Plan rules. 

 

	 	2.	Conditions of the French-qualified Options. 

 (a) The exercise price and number of underlying Shares shall not be modified after the Date of Grant, except as provided in Sections II.5 of this French Plan, or as otherwise authorized by French law. Any
other modification permitted under the U.S. Plan may result in the Option no longer qualifying as a French-qualified Option. 

  
 5 

 (b) The French-qualified Options will vest and become exercisable pursuant
to the terms and conditions set forth in the U.S. Plan, this French Plan, and the applicable Award Agreement delivered to each French Grantee. 
 (c) The exercise price per share of Common Stock payable pursuant to French-qualified Options granted under this French Plan shall be fixed by the Administrator on the Date of Grant. In no event shall the
exercise price per share of Common Stock be less than the greater of the following: 
 (i) with respect to
purchase stock options, the higher of either 95% of the average quotation price of the Shares during the 20 quotation days immediately preceding the Date of Grant or 95% of the average purchase price paid for such Shares by the Company; 

(ii) with respect to subscription stock options, 95% of the average quotation price of such Shares during the 20 quotation
days immediately preceding the Date of Grant; and 
 (iii) 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the Date of
Grant as set forth in Section 9(a) the U.S. Plan. 
  

	 	3.	Exercise of a French-qualified Option. 

 (a) At the time a French-qualified Option is granted, the Administrator shall fix the period within which the French-qualified Option vests and may be exercised and shall determine any conditions that
must be satisfied before the French-qualified Option may be exercised. Specifically, the Administrator may provide for a restriction period measured from the Date of Grant, for the vesting or the exercise of a French-qualified Option, or for the
sale of Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of a French-qualified Option, designed to obtain the specific tax and social security treatment pursuant to Section 163 bis C of the French Tax Code, as amended. Such restriction period for the
vesting or the exercise of a French-qualified Option or the sale of Shares shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. The holding period of the Shares acquired upon exercise of French-qualified Option shall not exceed three (3) years
as from the exercise date of a French-qualified Option, or such other period as may be required to comply with French law. 
 (b) Upon exercise of a French-qualified Option, the full exercise price and any required withholding tax and/or social security contributions shall be paid by the French Grantee as set forth in the
applicable Award Agreement. Under a cashless exercise program, the French Grantee may give irrevocable instructions to a stockbroker to properly deliver the exercise price to the Company. No delivery, surrendering or attesting to the ownership of
previously owned Shares having a fair market value on the date of delivery equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares may be used to pay the exercise price. 

(c) In the event of the death of a French Grantee, his or her French-qualified Options shall thereafter be immediately
vested and exercisable in full under the conditions set forth by Section II.4 of this French Plan. 

  
 6 

 (d) If a French Grantee is terminated or ceases to be employed by the
Company or a French Subsidiary, his or her French-qualified Options will be exercisable according to the provisions of the Award Agreement. 
 (e) If a French Grantee is terminated or ceases to be employed by the Company or a French Subsidiary by reason of Disability, his or her French-qualified Options may benefit from the specific tax and
social security treatment, even if the date of sale of the Shares subject to the French-qualified Options occurs prior to the expiration of the minimum holding period of the Shares, as provided for by Section 163 bis C of the French Tax Code,
as amended. 
 (f) The Shares acquired upon exercise of a French-qualified Option will be recorded in an account
in the name of the French Grantee and must be held with the Company or a broker or in such manner as the Company may otherwise determine in order to ensure compliance with applicable laws including any necessary holding periods. 

To the extent and as long as applicable to French-qualified Options granted by the Company, a specific holding period for
the Shares or a restriction on exercise of the Options shall be imposed in the Award Agreement for any French Grantee who qualifies as a managing director of the French Subsidiary or has comparable positions at the level of the Company. 

 

	 	4.	Death. 

 In the event of the death of a French Grantee while he or she is actively employed, all French-qualified Options shall become immediately vested and exercisable and may be exercised in full by the French
Grantee’s heirs or the legal representative of his or her estate for the six (6) month period following the date of the French Grantee’s death or such other period as may be required to comply with French law. In the event of the
death of a French Grantee after termination of active employment, the treatment of French-qualified Options will be as set forth in the Award Agreement. Any French-qualified Option that remains unexercised shall expire six (6) months following
the date of the French Grantee’s death or after expiration of such other period as may be required to comply with French law. The six (6) month exercise period (or such other period as may be required to comply with French law) will apply
without regard to the term of the French-qualified Option as described in Section II.6 of this French Plan. 
  

	 	5.	Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization or Change in Control. 

In the event of a change in the Company’s capitalization or a Change in Control as set forth in Section 18 of
the U.S. Plan, adjustment to the terms and conditions of the French-qualified Option or underlying Shares shall be made only in accordance with the U.S. Plan and pursuant to applicable French legal and tax rules. Nevertheless, the Administrator, at
its discretion, may make adjustments in the case of a transaction for which adjustments are not authorized under French law, in which case, the Options may no longer qualify as French-qualified Options and the favorable tax and social security
treatment may be lost. 
 Assumption or substitution of the Option in the case of a Change in Control as well as
an acceleration of vesting or the lifting of a holding period or any other mechanism implemented upon a Change in Control, or in any other event, may result in the Options no longer being eligible for the favorable French tax and social security
treatment. 

  
 7 

	 	6.	Term of French-qualified Options. 

French-qualified Options granted pursuant to this French Plan will expire no later than six and a half
(6  1/2) years from the Date of Grant, unless
otherwise specified in the applicable Award Agreement. The French-qualified Option term will be extended only in the event of the death of a French Grantee, but in no event will any French-qualified Option be exercisable beyond six (6) months
following the date of death of the French Grantee or such other period as may be required to comply with French law. 
  

	 	7.	Interpretation. 

 In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this French Plan and the U.S. Plan, the provisions of this French Plan shall control for any grants of French-qualified Options made to French
Grantees. 
 It is intended that Options granted under this French Plan shall qualify for the specific tax and
social security treatment applicable to stock options granted under Sections L. 225-177 to L. 225-186-1 of the French Commercial Code, as amended, and in accordance with the relevant provisions set forth by French tax law and the French tax
administration, but no undertaking is made by the Company to maintain such status. The terms of this French Plan shall be interpreted accordingly and in accordance with the relevant provisions set forth by French tax and social security laws and
relevant guidelines published by French tax and social security administrations and subject to the fulfillment of legal, tax and reporting obligations, if applicable. 
  

	III.	FRENCH-QUALIFIED RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS. 

  

	 	1.	Conditions of the French-qualified Restricted Stock Units. 

(a) Vesting of French-Qualified Restricted Stock Units 

Notwithstanding any other provision of the U.S. Plan, French-qualified Restricted Stock Units will not vest prior to the
second anniversary of the Date of Grant or such other minimum period in accordance with the Vesting Date defined under Section I.2(g) above and provided any additional conditions for the vesting that may be provided in the Award Agreement are
satisfied. However, notwithstanding the Vesting Date requirements described above, in the event of the death of a French Grantee, all of his or her outstanding French-qualified Restricted Stock Units shall become vested under the conditions set
forth in Section III.2 of this French Plan. 
 (b) Transfer of Shares 

The sale or transfer of the Shares issued pursuant to the French-qualified Restricted Stock Units held by the French
Grantees shall not occur prior to the relevant anniversary of the Vesting Date specified by the Administrator and in no case prior to the second anniversary of the Vesting Date, or such other period as is required to comply with the minimum
mandatory holding period applicable to shares underlying French-qualified Restricted Stock Units under Section L. 225-

  
 8 

 
197-1 of the French Commercial Code, as amended, or under the relevant sections of the French Tax Code or the French Social Security Code, as amended, to benefit from the favorable tax and social
security regime. This holding period applies even after the French Grantee is no longer an employee or corporate officer of a French Subsidiary, except as provided for in Section III.3 of this French Plan. 

In addition, the Shares may not be sold or transferred during certain Closed Periods as provided for by Section L.
225-197-1 of the French Commercial Code, as amended, and as interpreted by the French administrative guideline, to the extent Closed Periods are applicable to Shares underlying French-qualified Restricted Stock Units. 

To the extent required for French-qualified Restricted Stock Units, the Administrator may specify a specific holding
period for the Shares underlying the French-qualified Restricted Stock Units with respect to French Grantees who qualify as managing corporate officers under French law (“mandataires sociaux”), as defined under Section I.3(c) of
this French Plan, or who have a comparable position in any other company within the Company group. 
 (c)
French Grantee’s Account 
 The Shares issued to the French Grantee shall be recorded in the name of the
French Grantee and held in an account with the Company or a broker or in such other manner as the Company may otherwise determine to ensure compliance with Applicable Laws, including any required holding periods provided by French law. 

 

	 	2.	Death and Disability. 

 In the event of the death of a French Grantee, the French-qualified Restricted Stock Units held by the French Grantee at the time of death shall become immediately transferable to the French
Grantee’s heirs. The Company shall issue the underlying Shares to the French Grantee’s heirs, at their request, provided the heirs contact the Company within six (6) months following the death of the French Grantee or such other
period as may be required to comply with French law If the French Grantee’s heirs do not request the issuance of the Shares underlying the French-qualified Restricted Stock Units within six (6) months following the French Grantee’s
death (or such other period as may be required to comply with French law), the French-qualified Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited. 
 If a French Grantee dies or ceases to be employed by the Company or a French Subsidiary or any Subsidiary by reason of his or her Disability (as defined in this French Plan), the French Grantee’s
heirs or the disabled French Grantee, as applicable, shall not be subject to the restrictions on the sale or transfer of Shares set forth in Section III.1(b) of this French Plan. 

 

	 	3.	Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization or Change in Control. 

In the event of a change in the Company’s capitalization or a Change in Control as set forth in Section 18 of
the U.S. Plan, adjustment to the terms and conditions of the French-qualified Restricted Stock Units or underlying Shares shall be made only in accordance with the U.S. Plan and pursuant to applicable French legal and tax rules. Nevertheless, the
Administrator, at its discretion, may make adjustments in the case of a transaction for which adjustments are not 

  
 9 

 
authorized under French law, in which case, the Restricted Stock Units may no longer qualify as French-qualified Restricted Stock Units and the favorable tax and social security treatment may be
lost. 
 Assumption or substitution of the Restricted Stock Units in the case of a Change in Control as well as
an acceleration of vesting or the lifting of a holding period or any other mechanism implemented upon a Change in Control, or in any other event, may result in the Restricted Stock Units no longer being eligible for the favorable French tax and
social security treatment. 
  

	 	4.	Interpretation. 

 It is intended that the Restricted Stock Units granted under this French Plan shall qualify for the favorable tax and social security treatment applicable to shares granted for no consideration under
Sections L. 225-197-1 to L. 225-197-6 of the French Commercial Code, as amended, and in accordance with the relevant provisions set forth by French tax and social security laws, but no undertaking is made to maintain such status. 

The terms of the French Plan shall be interpreted accordingly and in accordance with the relevant provisions set forth by
French tax and social security laws, as well as the French tax and social security administrations and the relevant guidelines released by the French tax and social security authorities and subject to the fulfillment of any applicable legal, tax and
reporting obligations, if applicable. 
  

	 	5.	Effective Date. 

 The French Plan is effective as of May 25, 2011.

 BROCADE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS, INC. 

2009 STOCK PLAN 
 STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT FOR FRENCH GRANTEES 
  

	 	A.	Grant of Option. 

 The
Administrator hereby grants to the French Grantee named in the Notice of Grant attached as Part I of this Stock Option Agreement for French Grantees (the “Option Agreement”) an option (the “Option”) to purchase the number of
Shares, as set forth in the Notice of Grant, at the exercise price per share set forth in the Notice of Grant (the “Exercise Price”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Brocade Communication Systems, Inc. 2009 Stock Plan (the
“U.S. Plan”) and the Rules of the Brocade Communication Systems, Inc. 2009 Stock Plan for French Grantees (the “French Plan”) (together the “Plan”), which are incorporated herein by reference. Subject to
Section 22(c) of the U.S. Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan will prevail. 

This Option is intended to qualify for favorable tax and social security treatment applicable to stock options granted under Section
L.225-177 to L.225-186-1 of the French Commercial Code, as amended and in accordance with the relevant provisions set forth by the French tax and social security laws and the French tax and social security administrations. Certain events may affect
the status of the Option as a French-qualified Option and the Option may be disqualified in the future. The Company does not make any undertaking or representation to maintain the qualified status of the Option. If the Option is modified, adjusted,
or administered in a manner in keeping with the terms of the U.S. Plan or as mandated as a matter of law, including laws relating to obligations for Tax-Related Items (as defined in Section F below), and the modification or adjustment is contrary to
the terms and conditions of the French Plan, the Option may no longer qualify as a French-qualified Option. The French Grantee understands and agrees that, in the event the Option loses qualified status, the French Grantee will be responsible for
paying personal income tax and the French Grantee’s portion of social security contributions resulting from the exercise of the Option, the issuance of Option Shares and the sale of Option Shares and the French Grantee will not be entitled to
any damages. 
  

	 	B.	Vesting and Exercise of Option. 

 (a) Vesting. No Option shall vest or become exercisable prior to the day following the first anniversary of the Date of Grant (except in event of death or Disability (as defined in the French

out in the Notice of Grant and the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement. 
 (c) Method of
Exercise. This Option is exercisable by delivery of written or electronic notice of exercise, in a form provided by the Administrator (the “Exercise Notice”), which will state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares
in respect of which the Option is being exercised (the “Exercised Shares”), and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. The Exercise Notice will be completed by
the French Grantee and delivered to the Stock Administrator of the Company. The Exercise Notice will be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (together with any applicable Tax-Related Items (as defined below in Section H below)) as
to all Exercised Shares. This Option will be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by such aggregate Exercise Price (as defined in Section C below). 

 No Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of this Option unless such issuance and
exercise complies with Applicable Laws. 
  

	 	C.	Method of Payment. 

Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price will be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the French Grantee:

 (a) cash; 
 (b) check; 
 (c) net issue exercise, whereby the French Grantee surrenders an
Option at the principal office of the Company (or such other office or agency as the Company may designate) together with a properly completed and executed exercise notice reflecting such election, in which event the Company will issue to the French
Grantee that number of Shares computed using the following formula: 

X    =    Y (A – B) 

A 
 Where:

 X = the number of Shares to be issued to the French Grantee; 

Y = the number of Shares subject to the Option or, if only a portion of the Option is being exercised, the portion of
the Option being cancelled (at the date of such calculation); 
 A = the Fair Market Value of one Share (at the
date of such calculation); 
 B = the Exercise Price per Share of the Option (as adjusted to the date of the
calculation); 
 (d) consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in
connection with the Plan; or 
 (e) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

	 	D.	Holding Period for French-Qualified Options. 

 Shares acquired upon exercise may not be sold or transferred before the expiration of the applicable holding period for French-qualified Options set forth by Section 163 bis C of the French Tax Code,
as amended, except as provided in the French Plan or as otherwise in keeping with French law. Under current law, the holding period is four years from the Date of Grant, but shall not be more than three years from the date on which the French
Grantee exercises his or her Option. 
 If the French Grantee exercises the vested portion of the Option after the first
anniversay of the Date of Grant and before the expiration of the four-year holding period, the French Grantee shall not be permitted to sell or transfer the Shares for the remaining portion of the four-year holding period. 

The sale of Shares before the end of the four-year holding period following the Date of Grant will not result in the loss of the
favorable tax and social security treatment in the event of the following special circumstances: (i) death or (ii) Disability (as defined in the French Plan). 

 

	 	E.	Exercisability Upon Termination. 

 (a) This Option may be exercised for three months after the French Grantee ceases to be a Service Provider for reasons other than death or Disability (as defined under the French Plan). 

(b) Upon the death of the French Grantee, this Option shall become immediately vested and exercisable. The French Grantee’s heirs
may exercise the Option within 6 months following the date of death, but any outstanding Options which remain unexercised shall expire 6 months following the date of death. 
 (c) Upon the Disability (as defined in the French Plan) of the French Grantee, this Option may be exercised for one year after the French Grantee ceases to be a Service Provider. 

In no event may this Option be exercised later than the Expiration Date as set out in the Notice of Grant and Section F below.

  

	 	F.	Non-Transferability of Option. 

 Except as set forth in Section E(b) above, this Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of the
French Grantee only by the French Grantee. The terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement will be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the French Grantee. 

 

	 	G.	Term of Option. 

 This Option may be exercised only within six and one-half (6
 1/2) years from the Date of Grant (as defined in
the French Plan) (the “Expiration Date”), as set out in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option Agreement. 

 

	 	H.	Responsibility for Taxes 

Regardless of any action the Company or the French Grantee’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all
income tax (including U.S. federal, state, local and/or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the French Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the French
Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”), the French Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the French 

  
 3 

 
Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The French Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer
(i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Option, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of Shares
acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate the French Grantee’s
liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the French Grantee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the date of grant and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as
applicable, the French Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. 

Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the French Grantee will pay or make adequate arrangements
satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the French Grantee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard
to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding from the French Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the French Grantee by the Company and/or the Employer; or (ii) withholding from
proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired at exercise of the Option either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the French Grantee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization); or (iii) withholding in
Shares to be issued at exercise of the Option. 
 To avoid any negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or
account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the French Grantee
is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the exercised Options, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the French
Grantee’s participation in the Plan. 
 Finally, the French Grantee shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of
Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the French Grantee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to
issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the French Grantee fails to comply with the French Grantee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items. 

 

	 	I.	Nature of Grant. 

 In
accepting the Option, the French Grantee acknowledges, understands and agrees that: 
 (a) the Plan is established voluntarily
by the Company, it is discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time; 
 (b)
the grant of the Option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of options, or benefits in lieu of options, even if options have been granted repeatedly in the past; 

(c) all decisions with respect to future option grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; 

  
 4 

 (d) the French Grantee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further
employment with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate the French Grantee’s employment or service relationship (if any) at any time; 

(e) the French Grantee is voluntarily participating in the Plan; 

(f) the Option and any Shares acquired under the Plan are extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for
services of any kind rendered to Company or the Employer, and which is outside the scope of the French Grantee’s employment or service contract, if any; 
 (g) the Option and any Shares acquired under the Plan are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; 
 (h) the Option and any Shares acquired under the Plan are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation,
termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past
services for the Company, the Employer, or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company; 
 (i) the Option grant and the
French Grantee’s participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment or service contract or relationship with the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of Company; 

(j) the future value of the Shares underlying the Option is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; 

(k) if the underlying Shares do not increase in value, the Option will have no value; 

(l) if the French Grantee exercises the Option and acquires Shares, the value of such Shares may increase or decrease in value, even
below the Exercise Price; and 
 (m) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the
Option resulting from termination of the French Grantee’s employment by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and in consideration of the grant of the Option to which the French
Grantee is otherwise not entitled, the French Grantee irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company or the Employer, waive his or her ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and release the Company and the Employer from any
such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the French Grantee shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agree to
execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims. 
  

	 	J.	No Advice Regarding Grant. 

 The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the French Grantee’s participation in the Plan, or the French Grantee’s
acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. The French Grantee is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

  
 5 

	 	K.	Data Privacy.

Option Agreement and any other Option grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the French Grantee’s
participation in the Plan. 
 The French Grantee understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain
personal information about the French Grantee, including, but not limited to, the French Grantee’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title,

of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

transferred to E*TRADE Corporate Services Inc. (“E*TRADE”) or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of
the Plan. The French Grantee understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than
France. The French Grantee understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the French Grantee’s local human resources representative. The French Grantee authorizes
the Company, E*TRADE and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other
form, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing his or her participation in the Plan. The French Grantee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the French Grantee’s

ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the French Grantee’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the French Grantee understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources
representative.

 RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT 

FOR FRENCH GRANTEES 
  

	 	1.	Grant. 

 (a) The Company
hereby grants to the French Grantee under the Company’s 2009 Stock Plan (the “U.S. Plan”) and the Rules of the Brocade Communication Systems, Inc. 2009 Stock Plan for French Grantees (the “French Plan”) (together the
“Plan”), an award of the Number of Restricted Stock Units set forth on the Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock Units for French Grantees (the “Notice of Grant”), subject to all of the terms and conditions in the Notice of Grant,
this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement for French Grantees (the “Agreement”), and the Plan. For each Restricted Stock Unit that vests, the French Grantee will be entitled to receive one (1) Share (subject to automatic adjustment for
stock splits, combinations and other adjustments contemplated in the Plan). 
 (b) The Restricted Stock Units are intended to
qualify for the specific income tax and social security regime in France under Sections L. 225-197-1 to L.225-197-6 of the French Commercial Code, as amended. Certain events may affect the status of the French-qualified Restricted Stock Units and
the Restricted Stock Units could be disqualified in the future. The Company does not make any undertaking or representation to maintain the qualified status of the Restricted Stock Units during the lifetime of the Restricted Stock Units. If the
Restricted Stock Units no longer qualify for specific tax and social security treatment in France, said treatment will not apply and the French Grantee will be required to pay any portion of his or her income tax and social security contributions
resulting from the Restricted Stock Units. 
 (c) When Shares are paid to the French Grantee in payment for the Restricted Stock
Units, par value ($.001 per share) will be deemed paid by the French Grantee for each Restricted Stock Unit by services rendered by the French Grantee, and will be subject to the appropriate tax withholdings. 

(d) Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. Inconsistencies
among the Notice of Grant, this Agreement and the Plan shall be resolved in accordance with the terms of the Plan. 
 2.
Company’s Obligation to Pay. Each Restricted Stock Unit has a value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Date of Grant that the Restricted Stock Unit. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units have vested in the manner set
forth in Sections 3 through 5, the French Grantee will have no right to payment of such Restricted Stock Units. Prior to actual payment of Shares upon the vesting of any Restricted Stock Units, such Restricted Stock Units will represent an
unsecured obligation. Payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units shall be made in whole Shares only and any fractional Shares will be forfeited at the time of payment. 
 3. Vesting Schedule/Period of Restriction. Except as provided in Sections 4 and 5, and subject to Section 7, the Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Agreement shall vest in accordance with
the vesting provisions set forth on the Notice of Grant, but in no event prior to the second anniversary of the Date of Grant or such other period as is required to comply with the minimum mandatory vesting period applicable to French-qualified
Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units shall not vest in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement unless the French Grantee shall have been continuously employed by the Company or by its Parent or other successor or a
Subsidiary from the Date of Grant through the dates the Restricted Stock Units are otherwise scheduled to vest, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or the French Plan. 

  
 -3-

	 	4.	Modifications to Vesting Schedule. 

 (a) Vesting upon Leave of Absence. In the event that the French Grantee takes an authorized leave of absence (“LOA”), the Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Agreement that are
eligible to be earned shall either: (i) not be affected, or (ii) shall be deferred for a period of time equal to the duration of such LOA, based on the Company’s LOA policy in effect at such time as determined by the Company in its
sole discretion. 
 (b) Death of French Grantee. In the event that the French Grantee’s relationship with the
Company or its Parent or other successor or a Subsidiary as a Service Provider is terminated prior to full vesting of the Restricted Stock Units due to his or her death, the French Grantee’s heirs shall have six (6) months following the
date of death to request the issuance of the Shares underlying the unvested portion of the Restricted Stock Units. 
 (c)
Disability of French Grantee. In the event that the French Grantee’s relationship with the Company or its Parent or other successor or a Subsidiary as a Service Provider is terminated prior to full vesting of the Restricted Stock Units
due to his or her Disability, the unvested portion of the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be forfeited on the date of the French Grantee’s Disability. 

5. Administrator Discretion. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser
portion of the balance, of the Restricted Stock Units at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. Such acceleration may result in tax or other consequences to the French Grantee. If so accelerated, such Restricted Stock Units will be considered
as having vested as of the date specified by the Administrator. If the Administrator, in its discretion, accelerates the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Restricted Stock Units, the payment of such accelerated
Restricted Stock Units nevertheless shall be made at the same time or times as if such Restricted Stock Units had vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth on the Notice of Grant and Section 1 of this Agreement or as otherwise
provided herein (whether or not the French Grantee remains employed by the Company or by one of its Subsidiaries as of such date(s)). The French Grantee is hereby advised to consult with the French Grantee’s own personal tax, legal and
financial advisors regarding the French Grantee’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. 
 6. Payment after Vesting. Any Restricted Stock Units that vest in accordance with Sections 3 through 4 of this Agreement will be paid to the French Grantee (or in the event of the French
Grantee’s death, to his or her heirs) as soon as practicable following the applicable Vesting Date, subject to Sections 9 and 21, but no later than March 15th of the calendar year following the applicable Vesting Date. 

7. Forfeiture. The balance of the Restricted Stock Units that have not vested pursuant to Sections 3 through 5 at the time of the
termination of the French Grantee’s relationship with the Company or one of the Subsidiaries or Parent as a Service Provider for any or no reason will be forfeited. 
 8. Holding of the Shares. After issuance of the Shares to the French Grantee, the French Grantee must hold the Shares until the second anniversary of each Vesting Date. Nevertheless, if the

  
 -4-

 
French Grantee’s relationship with the Company or its Parent or other successor or a Subsidiary as a Service Provider terminates by reason of his or her death, the French Grantee’s
heirs shall not be subject to this restriction on the sale or transfer of the Shares. If the minimum holding periods applicable to Shares underlying the French-qualified Restricted Stock Units are not met, the Restricted Stock Units may not receive
specific tax or social security treatment under French law. 
 In addition, the Shares may not be sold or transferred during
certain Closed Periods as provided for by Section L. 225-197-1 of the French Commercial Code, as amended, and as interpreted by the French administrative guideline, so long as those Closed Periods are applicable to Shares underlying the Restricted
Stock Units. 
  

	 	9.	Withholding of Taxes. 

(a) General. Regardless of any action the Company and/or the French Grantee’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with
respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the French Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the French Grantee (“Tax-Related
Items”), the French Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the French Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. the French
Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Unit, including, but not
limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit, the issuance of Shares upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends; and
(ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Unit to reduce or eliminate the French Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax
result. Further, if the French Grantee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the French Grantee acknowledges that the Company
and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. 
 (b) Payment of Tax-Related Items. Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the French Grantee will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or
the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the French Grantee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, at its discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by withholding a portion of the Shares
issued as payment for vested Restricted Stock Units that have an aggregate market value sufficient to pay all Tax-Related Items required to be withheld by the Company and/or the Employer with respect to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units and
issuance of the Shares, unless the Company, in its sole discretion, either requires or otherwise permits the French Grantee to make alternate arrangements satisfactory to the Company for such withholdings in advance of the arising of any withholding
obligations. The number of Shares withheld pursuant to the prior sentence will be no greater than the minimum statutory rate of withholding and will be rounded up to the nearest whole Share, with no refund for any value of the Shares withheld in
excess of the tax obligation as a result of such rounding. 
 If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by reducing
the number of Shares delivered as described herein, then for tax purposes, the French Grantee is deemed to have been 

  
 -5-

 
issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due
as a result of any aspect of the French Grantee’s participation in the Plan. 
 If the foregoing method of withholding is
prohibited or insufficient to satisfy all Tax-Related Items required to be withheld by the Company and/or the Employer with respect to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units and issuance of the Shares or if the Company, in its discretion,
determines not to apply the foregoing method of withholding, then the French Grantee hereby authorizes the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy such obligations by one or a combination of the following: (a) withholding from the French
Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the French Grantee by the Company and/or the Employer, to the maximum extent permitted by law; or (b) selling the applicable number of Shares or arranging for the sale of the applicable
number of Shares (in either case on the French Grantee’s behalf and at the French Grantee’s discretion pursuant to this authorization) issued in settlement of vested Restricted Stock Units and retaining the requisite proceeds from such
sale. 
 Finally, the French Grantee shall pay to the Company and/or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the
Company and/or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the French Grantee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the
Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the French Grantee fails to comply with the French Grantee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items, as described in this Section 9. 

10. Rights as Stockholder. Neither the French Grantee nor any person claiming under or through the French Grantee will have any of
the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares (which may be in book entry form) will have been issued, recorded on the records of the
Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to the French Grantee (including through electronic delivery to a brokerage account). After such issuance, recordation and delivery, the French Grantee will have all the rights of a

obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any U.S. state or federal or non-U.S. governmental agency, which the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; and (d) the lapse of such reasonable

accepting this Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or inducements other than those contained herein or expressly contemplated above. Modifications to this Agreement or the Plan can be made only in an express written contract
executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, the Company reserves the right to revise this Agreement as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and
without the consent of the French Grantee, to comply with Section 409A of the Code or to otherwise avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A of the Code prior to the actual payment of Shares pursuant

 -8-

 (c) all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Units, if any, will be at the sole
discretion of the Company;

(f) the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units are not intended to replace any pension rights or
compensation;

benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary;

 All decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the
Plan shall be made in the Committee’s sole discretion and shall be final and binding on all persons, including the Company and Plan participants.

of Stock reserved and available for distribution pursuant to stock options or other awards relating to Stock made under the Plan shall be 5,230,000 shares. Such shares may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares or treasury
shares. The maximum number of shares with respect to which an employee may be granted awards under this Plan during any fiscal year is 250,000. 
 Subject to Section 6(b)(iv) below, if any shares of Stock that have been optioned cease to be subject to a Stock Option, or if any such shares of Stock that are subject to any Restricted Stock or
Deferred Stock Award, Stock Purchase Right, or Long-term Performance Award granted hereunder are forfeited or any such award otherwise terminates without a payment being made to the participant in the form of Stock, such shares shall again be
available for distribution in connection with future awards under the Plan.

consolidation, recapitalization, Stock dividend, Stock split or other change in corporate structure affecting the Stock, an equitable and appropriate substitution or adjustment shall be made in the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance
under the Plan, in the number and option or base price of shares subject to outstanding Options and SARs granted under the Plan, in the number and purchase price of shares subject to outstanding Stock Purchase Rights under the Plan, and in the
number of shares subject to other outstanding awards granted under the Plan, provided that the number of shares subject to any Grant shall always be a whole number. The right to have such substitutions and adjustments made is nondiscretionary, but
how such substitutions and adjustments are made shall be determined in the discretion of the Committee. In addition, in the event of any merger or other corporate transaction or event which results in shares of Stock being purchased for cash, or
being exchanged for or converted into cash or the right to receive cash, the Committee, in its sole discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, may provide that any Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock
or Deferred Stock Award, Stock Purchase Right, or Long-term Performance Award shall be converted into the right to receive an amount of cash equal to the amount of cash, if any, that would have been received, in the event of such merger or corporate
transaction or event, if such Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock Award, Stock Purchase Right, or Long-term Performance Award had been fully exercisable or payable, or vested and had been exercised or paid
immediately prior to such merger or other corporate transaction or event to the extent of the cash value thereof, and, upon such conversion, such Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock Award, Stock Purchase Right,
or Long-term Performance Award (including any such Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock Award, Stock Purchase Right, or Long-term Performance Award which, under the terms of such merger or other corporate
transaction or event, would have no cash value) shall be cancelled. 
 Section 4. Eligibility. 

Officers, consultants and such employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (but excluding members of the Committee and
any person who serves only as a director) whom the Committee determines is responsible for or contributes to the management, growth and/or profitability of the business of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates are eligible to be granted
awards under the Plan.

 Section 5. Stock Options. 

Stock Options may be granted alone, in addition to or in tandem with other awards granted under the Plan and/or cash awards made outside
of the Plan. Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the Committee may from time to time approve. 

Stock Options granted under the Plan may be of two types: (i) Incentive Stock Options and (ii) Non-Qualified Stock Options.

 The Committee shall have the authority to grant to any optionee Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options, or both
types of Stock Options (in each case with or without Stock Appreciation Rights); provided, however that Incentive Stock Options shall only be granted to an individual who, at the time of grant, is an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary.

 Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms
and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall deem desirable: 
 (a) Option Price.
The option price per share of Stock purchasable under a Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant but shall not be less than the Fair Market Value on the date of grant. 

(b) Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than
ten years after the date the Option is granted. No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted more than ten years after the date this Plan is approved by the stockholders of the Company under Section 14. 

(c) Exercisability. Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion at or after grant. 
 (d) Method of Exercise. Subject to whatever
exercise provisions apply under Section 5(c), Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the option period, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of shares to be purchased. Such
notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price, either by check, note or such other instrument as the Committee may accept. Except as otherwise prohibited by law, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at or
after grant, payment in full or in part may also be made (i) in the form of Stock subject to an award (based, in each case, on the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date the option is exercised, as determined by the Committee); provided,
however, that, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the right to make a payment in the form of already owned shares may be authorized only at the time the option is granted; or (ii) through the delivery of a notice that the optionee has
placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to shares of Stock then issuable upon exercise of the Option, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of
the Option exercise price, provided that payment of such proceeds is made to the Company prior to the delivery of any shares of Stock by the Company. No shares of Stock shall be issued until full payment therefor has been made. An optionee shall
generally have the rights to dividends or other rights of a stockholder with respect to shares subject to the Option when the optionee has given written notice of exercise, has paid in full for such shares, and, if requested, has given the
representation described in Section 13(a). 
 (e) Transferability of Options. No Stock Option shall be transferable
by the optionee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the optionee’s lifetime, only by the optionee or by his guardian or legal representative. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a Non-Qualified Stock Option may be transferred to, exercised by and paid to a trust in which the optionee has a fifty percent or more interest or a foundation which the optionee controls the management of the assets, provided that
(i) the 

  
 5 

 
optionee receives no consideration for such transfer, and (ii) the transferee receives the Non-Qualified Stock Option subject to the same restrictions imposed upon the transferor and
pursuant to such conditions and procedures as the Committee may establish. Any permitted transfer shall be subject to the condition that the Committee receives evidence satisfactory to it that the trust is and shall remain under the control of the
optionee and that the transfer is being made for estate and/or tax planning purposes and on a basis consistent with the Company’s lawful issue of securities. 
 (f) Termination by Death. Subject to Section 5(j), if an optionee’s employment by or consultancy with the Company and any Subsidiary or Affiliate terminates by reason of death, any Stock
Option held by such optionee may thereafter be exercised, to the extent such option was exercisable at the time of death or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine at or after grant (or as may be determined in accordance with
procedures established by the Committee), by the legal representative of the estate or by the legatee of the optionee under the will of the optionee, for a period of three years (or such other period as the Committee may specify at grant) from the
date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter. 
 (g)
Termination by Reason of Disability. Subject to Section 5(j), if an optionee’s employment by or consultancy with the Company and any Subsidiary or Affiliate terminates by reason of Disability, any Stock Option held by such optionee
may thereafter be exercised by the optionee, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of termination or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine at or after grant (or as may be determined in accordance with procedures established
by the Committee), for a period of three years (or such other period as the Committee may specify at grant) from the date of such termination of employment or consultancy or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever
period is the shorter; provided, however, that, if the optionee dies within such three-year period (or such other period as the Committee shall specify at grant), any unexercised Stock Option held by such optionee shall thereafter be exercisable to
the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death for a period of twelve months from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter. In the event of termination of
employment by reason of Disability, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the expiration of the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such Stock Option will thereafter be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock
Option. 
 (h) Termination by Reason of Retirement. Subject to Section 5(j), if an optionee’s employment by or
consultancy with the Company and any Subsidiary or Affiliate terminates by reason of Normal or Early Retirement, any Stock Option held by such optionee may thereafter be exercised by the optionee, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of such
Retirement or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine at or after grant (or as may be, determined in accordance with procedures established by the Committee), for a period of three years (or such other period as the Committee may
specify at grant) from the date of such termination of employment or consultancy or the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter; provided, however, that, if the optionee dies within such three-year period
(or such other period as the Committee may specify at grant), any unexercised Stock Option held by such optionee shall thereafter be exercisable, to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death, for a period of twelve months from the
date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter. In the event of termination of employment by reason of Retirement, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the expiration of
the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, the option will thereafter be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option. 
 (i) Other Termination. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee (or pursuant to procedures established by the Committee) at or after grant, if an optionee’s employment by or consultancy
with the Company and any Subsidiary or Affiliate terminates for any reason other than death, Disability or Normal or Early Retirement, the Stock Option shall thereupon terminate, except that such Stock Option may be exercised for the lesser of three
months or the balance of such Stock Option’s term if the optionee is involuntarily terminated by the Company and any Subsidiary or Affiliate without Cause. For purposes of this Plan, “Cause” means the conviction of, or plea of nolo
contendere to a felony by the participant, or a participant’s willful misconduct or dishonesty, any of which is directly and materially harmful to the business or reputation of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate. 

  
 6 

 (j) Incentive Stock Options. Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no
term of this Plan relating to Incentive Stock Options shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be so exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code, or,
without the consent of the optionee(s) affected, to disqualify any Incentive Stock Option under such Section 422. 
 To the
extent required for ‘incentive stock option’ status under Section 422(b)(7) of the Code (taking into account applicable Internal Revenue Service regulations and pronouncements), the Plan shall be deemed to provide that the aggregate
Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the optionee during any calendar year under the Plan and/or any other stock option plan of the
Company or any Subsidiary or parent corporation (within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code) after 1986 shall not exceed $100,000. If the aggregate Fair Market Value exceeds $100,000, then those options in excess of $100,000 will not be
treated as ISOs. Those shares not treated as ISOs will be taxed at ordinary income rates on exercise. If Section 422 is hereafter amended to delete the requirement now in Section 422(b)(7) that the plan text expressly provide for the
$100,000 limitation set forth in Section 422(b)(7), then this paragraph of Section 5(j) shall no longer be operative. 

(k) Buyout Provisions. The Committee may at any time offer to buy out for a payment in cash, Stock or Restricted Stock an option
previously granted, based on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish and communicate to the optionee at the time that such offer is made; provided, however, that unless stockholder approval is obtained, the Committee shall not
offer to buy out any Option having a per share exercise price greater than the per share Fair Market Value of a share of Stock at the time of such offer. In no event may the Company buyout any Stock Option with the grant of another Stock Option,
without shareholder approval. 
 (l) Settlement Provisions. If the option agreement so provides at grant, or is amended
after grant and prior to exercise to so provide (with the optionee’s consent), the Committee may require that all or part of the shares to be issued with respect to the spread value of an exercised Option take the form of Restricted Stock,
which shall be valued on the date of exercise on the basis of the Fair Market Value (as determined by the Committee) of such Restricted Stock determined without regard to the forfeiture restrictions involved. 

(m) 10% Stockholders. No Incentive Stock Option may be granted under this Plan to any employee who, at the time the Incentive
Stock Option is granted, owns, or is considered as owning, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, shares possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of
the Company, a Subsidiary or a parent corporation (within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code) unless the option price under such Option is at one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date such
Option is granted and the duration of such Option is no more than five (5) years. 
 Section 6. Stock Appreciation Rights.

 (a) Exercise. A Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by a recipient, subject to Section 6(b), in
accordance with the procedures established by the Committee for such purpose. Upon such exercise, the recipient shall be entitled to receive an amount determined in the manner prescribed in Section 6(b). 

(b) Terms and Conditions. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the
provisions of the Plan, as shall be determined from time to time by the Committee, including the following: 

(i) Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, a recipient shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash and/or
shares of Stock with a Fair Market Value, as the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine, equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a number of shares of Stock specified in the award at the date of exercise of the Stock Appreciation
Right over the Fair Market Value of such number of shares of Stock at the date of grant of the Stock Appreciation Right. When payment is to be made in shares, the number of shares to be paid shall be calculated on the basis of the Fair Market Value
of the shares on the date of exercise. 

  
 7 

 (ii) Stock Appreciation Rights shall not be transferable by the recipient
thereof otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and all Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable, during the recipient’s lifetime, only by the recipient. 
 Section 7. Restricted Stock. 
 (a) Administration. Shares
of Restricted Stock may be issued either alone, in addition to or in tandem with other awards granted under the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan. The Committee shall determine the eligible persons to whom, and the time or times at
which, grants of Restricted Stock will be made, the number of shares to be awarded, the price to be paid by the recipient of Restricted Stock (subject to Section 7(b)), the time or times within which such awards may be subject to forfeiture,
and all other terms and conditions of the awards. 
 The Committee may condition the grant of Restricted Stock upon the
attainment of specified performance goals (including goals based on the Performance Criteria) or such other factors as the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion. 
 The provisions of Restricted Stock awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient. 
 (b) Awards and Certificates. The prospective recipient of a Restricted Stock Award shall not have any rights with respect to such award, unless and until such recipient has executed an agreement
evidencing the award and has delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, and has otherwise complied with the applicable terms and conditions of such award. Each award shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: 

(i) Unless the Committee determines that no purchase price is required by law, then the purchase price for shares of
Restricted Stock shall be equal to or greater than their par value. 
 (ii) Awards of Restricted Stock must be
accepted within a period of 60 days (or such shorter period as the Committee may specify at grant) after the award date, by executing a Restricted Stock Award agreement and paying whatever price is required under Section 7(b)(i). 

(iii) Each participant receiving a Restricted Stock Award shall be issued shares of Stock, either in book form or
electronically, evidencing the grant of the Restricted Stock, registered in the name of such participant, noting the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to such award. The Committee in its sole discretion may issue stock certificates to
evidence the Restricted Stock Award. If a stock certificate is issued, it shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such award. 

(iv) The Committee shall require that any stock certificates evidencing such shares issued be held in custody by the
Company until the restrictions, if any, thereon shall have lapsed, and that, as a condition of any Restricted Stock Award, the participant shall have delivered a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Stock covered by such award.

 (c) Restrictions and Conditions. The shares of Restricted Stock awarded pursuant to this Section 7 shall be
subject to the following restrictions and conditions: 
 (i) Subject to the provisions of this Plan and the award
agreement, during a period set by the Committee commencing with the date of such award (the ‘Restriction Period’), the participant shall not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge or assign shares of Restricted Stock awarded under the
Plan. Within these limits, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide for the lapse of such restrictions in installments and may accelerate or waive such restrictions in whole or in part, based on service, performance and/or such other
factors or criteria as the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion. 

  
 8 

 (ii) Except as provided in this paragraph (ii) and
Section 7(c)(i), the participant shall have, with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote the shares, and the right to receive any cash dividends. The Committee,
in its sole discretion, as determined at the time of award, may permit or require the payment of cash dividends to be deferred and, if the Committee so determines, reinvested, subject to Section 13(e), in additional Restricted Stock to the
extent shares are available under Section 3, or otherwise reinvested. Pursuant to Section 3 above, Stock dividends issued with respect to Restricted Stock shall be treated as additional shares of Restricted Stock that are subject to the
same restrictions and other terms and conditions that apply to the shares with respect to which such dividends are issued. 
 (iii) Subject to the applicable provisions of the award agreement and this Section 7, upon termination of a participant’s employment or consultancy with the Company and any Subsidiary or
Affiliate for any reason during the Restriction Period, all shares still subject to restriction will vest, or be forfeited, in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Committee at or after grant. If any Restricted Stock is
forfeited, the Company shall pay to the participant (or the estate of a deceased participant) an amount equal to the price, if any, that the participant paid with respect to such Restricted Stock. 

(iv) If and when the Restriction Period expires without a prior forfeiture of the Restricted Stock subject to such
Restriction Period, an appropriate number of unrestricted shares shall be delivered to the participant promptly in book, electronic or other form, or by issuance of share certificates as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.

 Section 8. Deferred Stock. 
 (a) Administration. Deferred Stock may be awarded either alone, in addition to or in tandem with other awards granted under the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan. The Committee shall
determine the eligible persons to whom and the time or times at which Deferred Stock shall be awarded, the number of shares of Deferred Stock to be awarded to any person, the duration of the period (the ‘Deferral Period’) during which, and
the conditions under which, receipt of the Stock will be deferred, and the other terms and conditions of the award in addition to those set forth in Section 8(b). 
 The Committee may condition the grant of Deferred Stock upon the attainment of specified performance goals (including goals based on the Performance Criteria) or such other factors or criteria as the
Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion. 
 The provisions of Deferred Stock Awards need not be the same with respect
to each recipient. 
 (b) Terms and Conditions. The shares of Deferred Stock awarded pursuant to this Section 8
shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: 
 (i) Subject to the provisions of this Plan and the
award agreement referred to in Section 8(b)(vi) below, Deferred Stock Awards may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered during the Deferral Period. At the expiration of the Deferral Period (or the Elective Deferral
Period referred to in Section 8(b)(v), where applicable), the Company shall deliver to the recipient shares of Stock equal to the shares covered by the Deferred Stock Award. Such shares may be delivered in book, electronic or other form, or by
issuance of share certificates as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. 
 (ii) Unless otherwise
determined by the Committee at grant, amounts equal to any dividends declared during the Deferral Period with respect to the number of shares covered by a Deferred Stock Award will be paid to the participant currently, or deferred and deemed to be
reinvested in additional Deferred Stock, or otherwise reinvested, all as determined at or after the time of the award by the Committee, in its sole discretion. 

  
 9 

 (iii) Subject to the provisions of the award agreement and this
Section 8, upon termination of a participant’s employment or consultancy with the Company and any Subsidiary or Affiliate for any reason during the Deferral Period for a given award, the Deferred Stock in question will vest, or be
forfeited, in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Committee at or after grant. If any Deferred Stock is forfeited, the Company shall pay to the participant (or the estate of a deceased participant) an amount equal to the
price, if any, the participant paid with respect to such Deferred Stock. 
 (iv) Based on service, performance
and/or such other factors or criteria as the Committee may determine, the Committee may, at or after grant, accelerate the vesting of all or any part of any Deferred Stock Award and/or waive the deferral limitations for all or any part of such
award. 
 (v) A participant may elect to further defer receipt of an award (or an installment of an award) for a
specified period or until a specified event (the ‘Elective Deferral Period’), subject in each case to the Committee’s approval and to such terms as are determined by the Committee, all in its sole discretion. Subject to any exceptions
adopted by the Committee, such election must generally be made 12 months prior to completion of the Deferral Period for such Deferred Stock Award (or such installment) and shall not take effect for at least 12 months. The Elective Deferral Period
must be at least five years or, if elected by the participant, until termination of employment or a change in control of the Company (as determined under Section 409A of the Code) if earlier. Any such election shall comply with the requirements
of Section 409A of the Code. 
 (vi) Each award shall be confirmed by, and subject to the terms of, a
Deferred Stock agreement executed by the Company and the participant. 
 (vii) A recipient of a Deferred Stock
Award shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by his Deferred Stock Award until the issuance of a stock certificate for such shares. 
 Section 9. Stock Purchase Rights. 
 (a) Awards and
Administration. Subject to Section 3 above, the Committee may grant eligible participants Stock Purchase Rights which shall enable such participants to purchase Stock (including Deferred Stock and Restricted Stock): 

(i) at its Fair Market Value on the date of grant; 

(ii) at 50% of such Fair Market Value on such date; 

(iii) at an amount equal to Book Value on such date; or 

(iv) at an amount equal to the par value of such Stock on such date. 

However, no share of Stock shall be sold at less than its par value. The Committee shall also impose such deferral, forfeiture and/or
other terms and conditions as it shall determine, in its sole discretion, on such Stock Purchase Rights or the exercise thereof. 
 The terms of Stock Purchase Rights Awards need not be the same with respect to each participant. Each Stock Purchase Right Award shall be confirmed by, and be subject to the terms of, a Stock Purchase
Rights agreement. 
 (b) Exercisability. Stock Purchase Rights shall generally be exercisable for such period after grant
as is determined by the Committee, but not to exceed 90 days. 

  
 10 

 (c) Loans. Unless otherwise prohibited by law, if the Committee so determines, the
Company shall make or arrange for a loan to a participant with respect to the exercise of Stock Purchase Rights. The Committee shall have full authority to decide whether such a loan should be made and to determine the amount, term and other
provisions of any such loan, including the interest rate to be charged, whether the loan is to be with or without recourse against the borrower, the security, if any, therefor, the terms on which the loan is to be repaid and the conditions, if any,
under which it may be forgiven. However, no loan hereunder shall have a term (including extensions) exceeding ten years in duration or be in an amount exceeding 90% of the total purchase price paid by the borrower. 

Section 10. Long-Term Performance Awards. 
 (a) Administration. Long-term Performance Awards may be granted either alone or in addition to other awards granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the nature, length and starting
date of the performance period (the ‘Performance Period’) for each Long-term Performance Award and shall determine the performance objectives to be used in the valuation of Long-term Performance Awards and determining the extent to which
such Long-term Performance Awards have been earned. Performance objectives may vary, from participant to participant and between groups of participants and shall be based upon such Company, Subsidiary, Affiliate or individual performance factors or
criteria as the Committee may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to the Performance Criteria. Performance Periods may overlap and participants may participate simultaneously with respect to Long-term Performance Awards that are subject to
different Performance Periods and different performance factors and criteria. Long-term Performance Awards shall be confirmed by, and be subject to the terms of, a Long-term Performance Award agreement. The terms of such awards need not be the same
with respect to each participant. 
 At the beginning of each Performance Period, the Committee shall determine for each
Long-term Performance Award subject to such Performance Period, the number of shares of Stock (including Deferred or Restricted Stock) to be awarded to the participant at the end of the Performance Period if and to the extent that the relevant
measures of performance for such Long-term Performance Award are met. Such number of shares of Stock may be fixed or may vary in accordance with such performance or other criteria as may be determined by the Committee. 

(b) Adjustment of Awards. The Committee may adjust the performance goals and measurements applicable to the Long-term Performance
Awards to take into account changes in law and accounting and tax rules and to make such adjustments as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to reflect the inclusion or exclusion of the impact of extraordinary or unusual items, events or
circumstances in order to avoid windfalls or hardships. 
 (c) Termination. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable
Long-term Performance Award agreement, if a participant terminates employment or his consultancy during a Performance Period because of death, Disability or Retirement, such participant shall be entitled to a payment with respect to each outstanding
Long-term Performance Award at the end of the applicable Performance Period: 
 (i) based, to the extent relevant
under the terms of the award, upon the participant’s performance for the portion of such Performance Period ending on the date of termination and the performance of the Company or any applicable business unit for the entire Performance Period,
and 
 (ii) prorated for the portion of the Performance Period during which the Participant was employed by the
Company, a subsidiary or affiliate, 
 all as determined by the Committee. The Committee may provide for an earlier payment in
settlement of such award in such amount and under such terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate. 
 Except as
otherwise provided in the applicable Long-term Performance Award agreement, if a participant terminates employment or his consultancy during a Performance Period for any other reason, then such participant shall not be entitled to any payment with
respect to the Long-term Performance Award subject to such Performance Period, unless the Committee shall otherwise determine. 

  
 11 

 (d) Form of Payment. The earned portion of a Long-term Performance Award may be paid
currently or on a deferred basis with such interest or earnings equivalent as may be determined by the Committee. Payment shall be made in the form of whole shares of Stock, including Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock, as the Committee shall
determine. To the extent a Long-term Performance Award is payable in Stock and the full amount therefor is not paid in Stock, then the shares of Stock representing the portion of the value of the Long-term Performance Award not paid in Stock shall
again become available for award under the Plan. 
 Section 11. Amendments And Termination. 

The Board may amend, alter, or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, or discontinuation shall be made which would impair the
rights of an optionee or participant under a Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right (or Limited Stock Appreciation Right), Restricted or Deferred Stock Award, Stock Purchase Right, or Long-term Performance Award theretofore granted, without the
optionee’s or participant’s consent, or which, without the approval of the Company’s stockholders, would: 
 (a)
except as expressly provided in this Plan, increase the total number of shares reserved for the purpose of the Plan; 
 (b)
change the employees or class of employees eligible to participate in the Plan; 
 (c) extend the maximum option period under
Section 5(b) of the Plan; or 
 (d) otherwise materially alter the terms of the Plan. 

The Committee may amend the terms of any Stock Option or other award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but, subject to
Section 3 above, no such amendment shall impair the rights of any holder without the holder’s consent. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, no Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right may be amended to reduce the
price per share of the shares subject to such Stock Option or the exercise price of such Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable, below the option price or exercise price as of the date the Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right is granted. In
addition, no Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right may be granted in exchange for or in connection with the cancellation or surrender of a Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right or other Grant if the new Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right or
other Grant has an option or exercise price (including no exercise price) which is less than the option or exercise price of the Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right being exchanged, cancelled or surrendered. 

Subject to the above provisions, the Board shall have broad authority to amend the Plan to take into account changes in applicable
securities and tax laws and accounting rules, as well as other developments. 
 Section 12. Unfunded Status Of Plan.

 (a) Unfunded Plan. The Plan is intended to constitute an ‘unfunded’ plan for incentive and deferred
compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a participant or optionee by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such participant or optionee any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company. In
its sole discretion, the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver Stock or payments in lieu of or with respect to awards hereunder, provided, however, that, unless
the Committee otherwise determines with the consent of the affected participant, the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the ‘unfunded’ status of the Plan. 

  
 12 

 (b) Section 409A. To the extent that the Committee determines that any award
granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the agreement evidencing such award shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, the Plan and such agreements
shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued
after the date this Plan is effective. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the effective date of the Plan the Committee determines that any award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and
related Department of Treasury guidance, the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any
other actions, that the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the award, or
(b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance. 
 Section 13.
General Provisions. 
 (a) The Committee may require each person purchasing shares pursuant to a Stock Option or other
award under the Plan to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that the optionee or participant is acquiring the shares for investment and without a view to distribution thereof. The certificates for such shares may include any legend
which the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer. 
 The Committee may condition the exercise of an
Option or the issuance and delivery of Stock upon the listing, registration or qualification of the Stock upon a securities exchange or under applicable securities laws. 
 All certificates for shares of Stock or other securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stock-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules,
regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Stock is then listed, and any applicable Federal or state securities law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on
any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. 
 (b) Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent
the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. 

(c) The making of an award under this Plan shall not confer upon any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate any right to
continued employment with the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate, as the case may be, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate the employment of any of its employees at any time.

 (d) No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includable in the gross income of the participant for Federal
income tax purposes with respect to any award under the Plan, the participant shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of, any Federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be
withheld with respect to such amount. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, withholding obligations may be settled with Stock, including Stock that is part of the award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The obligations of the
Company under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements and the Company and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due
to the participant. 
 (e) The actual or deemed reinvestment of dividends or dividend equivalents in additional Restricted Stock
(or in Deferred Stock or other types of Plan awards) at the time of any dividend payment shall only be permissible if sufficient shares of Stock are available under Section 3 for such reinvestment (taking into account then outstanding Stock
Options, Stock Purchase Rights and other Plan awards). 

  
 13 

 (f) The Plan and all awards made and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. 
 (g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the
contrary, Full Value Awards shall become vested over a period of not less than three years (or, in the case of vesting based upon the attainment of Performance Criteria or other performance-based objectives, over a period of not less than one year)
following the date the Grant is made; provided, that the Committee may accelerate vesting of Full Value Awards in its discretion, only upon death, disability or a change in control of the Company.” 

Section 14. Effective Date Of Plan. 
 The Plan shall be effective as of January 1, 2007; subject to the approval of the Plan by the holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the next annual
stockholders’ meeting in 2007. Any grants made under the Plan prior to such approval shall be effective when made (unless otherwise specified by the Committee at the time of grant), but shall be conditioned on, and subject to, such approval of
the Plan by such stockholders. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Option, Stock Appreciation Right or Stock Purchase Right may be exercised and no Restricted or Deferred Stock or Long-term Performance Award shall
become vested until such approval. 
 Section 15. Term Of Plan. 

No Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock Award, Deferred Stock Award, Stock Purchase Right, Other Stock-Based Award, or
Long-term Performance Award shall be granted pursuant to the Plan on or after December 31, 2017, but awards granted prior to such date may extend beyond that date. 
 Section 16. Certain Stock Options For United Kingdom Employees 

Stock Options granted under Section 5 which are Non-Qualified Stock Options may be granted subject to the terms and conditions of
Schedule A hereto. Such Non-Qualified Stock Options shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, including Section 5 

  
 14 

 SCHEDULE A 
 CONTAINING PROVISIONS FOR 
 TAX APPROVED OPTIONS FOR UNITED KINGDOM
EMPLOYEES 
 (Providing for the grant of Stock Options which it is intended shall satisfy the requirements of Her
Majesty’s Revenue and Customs pursuant to Schedule 4 to the UK Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (“ITEPA”), such options to be referred to in this Schedule as “Approved Options”). 

Approved Options may be granted pursuant to this Schedule A in accordance with such provisions as would be applicable if the provisions
of the Cooper Companies, Inc. 2007 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) relating to Stock Options were here set out in full (provided that Sections 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 shall not apply to this Schedule A), subject to the following further
modifications: 
 Section A1. Eligibility. 
 Approved Options may only be granted under this Schedule A to individuals who are employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (and for this purpose a subsidiary shall mean any company of which the
Company has control as defined in section 840 of the UK Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 (“Control”)) and who are not ineligible to participate in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 9 of Schedule 4 to ITEPA and, if a
director, is required to work in that capacity for the Company and/or any such subsidiary for at least 25 hours per week, excluding meal breaks. For the avoidance of doubt, no Approved Options shall be granted to a consultant and references to
“consultant/consultancy” in the Plan shall have no relevance under this Schedule A. 
 Section A2. Stock Subject To The Plan.

 (a) Approved Options granted under this Schedule A may only be made and may only be exercised in respect of Stock
which satisfies the requirements of paragraphs 16-20 of Schedule 4 to ITEPA. 
 (b) Only in the event of any reorganization,
consolidation, Stock split or other variation of the Company’s Stock, may an adjustment be made under Section 3 of the Plan to the amount of Stock which is the subject of Approved Options granted under this Schedule A and the option price
payable in respect thereof and then only with the prior approval of HM Revenue and Customs. 
 Section A3. Stock Options.

 (a) Approved Options may only be granted pursuant to this Schedule A at an option price which is not less than 100% of
Fair Market Value as of the date of grant provided that if no sale of Stock occurs on the New York Stock Exchange on such date the option price shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Stock as determined in accordance with Part VIII of
the UK Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 and agreed on or before that date for the purposes of this Schedule A with HM Revenue and Customs Shares and Assets Valuation. 
 (b) No Approved Options may be granted to an employee or director which will result in the aggregate option price for all the Stock comprised in outstanding Approved Options granted to him under this
Schedule A together with the aggregate option price of all Stock comprised in outstanding options granted to him under any other stock option scheme established by the Company or any associated company (as defined in paragraph 35 of Schedule 4 to
ITEPA) approved under Schedule 4 to ITEPA exceeding 30,000 UK pounds sterling (converting, for this purpose the option price into pounds sterling using the exchange rate applicable on the date of grant of such option) or such other amount as is for
the time being specified as being the appropriate limit for the purposes of paragraph 6(1) of Schedule 4 to ITEPA. For the avoidance of doubt, the limit set out in Section 5(j) of the Plan applying to Incentive Stock Options shall not apply to
Approved Options granted under this Schedule A. 

  
 15 

 (c) Section 5(c) shall be substituted as follows: “The Board may impose a schedule
for vesting of the Stock comprised in the Approved Option and set out in the Option Agreement (the “Vesting Schedule”) containing only objective conditions on any Approved Option which they grant preventing its exercise except to the
extent that the Vesting Schedule has been complied with. If, after the Board have imposed such a condition, events happen which cause them to consider that it is no longer appropriate, they may vary the Vesting Schedule provided always that any such
amendment may only be one which the Board reasonably consider will result in a fairer measure of the performance of the job of the optionee, will ensure that this Plan operates more effectively in the achievement of its purpose of providing share
benefits for employees who contribute to the prosperity of the Company and will be no more difficult to satisfy than would have been the case if there had been no such amendment.” 

(d) In the third paragraph of Section 3, the words “but acting fairly and reasonably” shall be added after “in its
sole discretion” and the words “may be exercised in full immediately before the consummation of the merger or other corporate transactions and if not so exercised shall be cancelled at the time of the consummation of the merger or other
corporate transaction” shall be substituted for the words “shall be converted into the right to receive an amount of cash” to the end of the paragraph. 
 (e) Section 5(e) shall be substituted as follows: “No Approved Option shall be transferable other than to the personal representatives of an optionee. No Approved Option shall be assigned or
used as a charge and any purported transfer, assignment or charge shall cause the Approved Option immediately to lapse”. 

(f) In the event of the optionee’s death an Approved Option granted pursuant to this Schedule A must be exercised within twelve
months of the optionee’s death whereupon, to the extent it has not been exercised, such Approved Option shall lapse. 
 (g)
No Approved Option granted under this Schedule A may be exercised at any time if the holder of such option is precluded from participating under this Schedule A by paragraph 9 of Schedule 4 to ITEPA. 

(h) The retirement age for the purposes of paragraph 35A of Schedule 4 to ITEPA is 55. 

(i) Sections 5(j),(k), (l) and for the avoidance of doubt Section 5(m) of the Plan shall not apply to Approved Options granted
under this Schedule A. For the avoidance of doubt, Approved Options granted under this Schedule A shall automatically be exercisable by virtue of being involuntary termination without cause when the optionee’s employment ceases by reason of
redundancy within the meaning of the Employment Rights Act 1996. 
 (j) Within 30 days of the receipt of a written notice (in
the form prescribed by the Company) duly signed by the optionee together with their option certificate and the full purchase price of the Stock being acquired pursuant to the exercise of their option the Company shall procure that the optionee
acquires the Stock in respect of which the Approved Option has been validly exercised by (i) allotting Stock to the optionee; or (ii) procuring the transfer of Stock to the optionee and shall issue a definitive certificate or other
evidence of title (whether paper or electronic) for the Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of the option. Alternatively, the optionee may exercise his options pursuant to Section 5(d) of the Plan, although Section 5(d)(i) shall not
apply to Approved Options, (and Section 5(d)(ii) shall only apply with the consent of the optionee). 
 (k) Stock issued
pursuant to this Schedule A shall rank pari passu with the issued Stock and the Company shall at all times keep available sufficient Stock to satisfy the exercise of, to the full extent possible, all Approved Options granted pursuant to this
Schedule A which have neither lapsed nor become fully exercisable. 
 (l) If an acquiring company: 

(i) obtains Control of the Company as a result of making (a) a general offer to acquire the whole of the issued ordinary share
capital of the Company which is made on a condition such that if it is satisfied the person making the offer will have Control of the Company, or (b) a general offer to acquire all the shares in the Company which are of the same class as the
Stock which may be acquired by the exercise of the Approved Options granted under this Plan; 

  
 16 

 (ii) obtains Control of the Company in pursuance of a compromise or arrangement sanctioned
by a court under provisions closely comparable to section 425 of the UK Companies Act 1985; or 
 (iii) becomes bound or entitled
to acquire shares in the Company under provisions closely comparable to Part 28 of the UK Companies Act 2006 
 any optionee may
at any time within the appropriate period (which expression shall be construed in accordance with paragraph 26(3) of Schedule 4 to ITEPA), by prior agreement with the acquiring company and HM Revenue & Customs, release any Approved Option
granted under this Plan which has not lapsed (the “Old Option”) in consideration of the grant to him of an option (the “New Option”) which (for the purposes of that paragraph) is equivalent to the Old Option but relates to shares
in a different company (whether the acquiring company itself or some other company falling within paragraph 16(b) or (c) of Schedule 4 to ITEPA). 
 The New Option shall not be regarded for the purposes of Section A3(k) above as equivalent to the Old Option unless the conditions set out in paragraph 27(4) of Schedule 4 are satisfied, but so that the
provisions of this Plan shall for this purpose be construed as if: 
 (i) the New Option were an option granted under this Plan
at the same time as the Old Option; 
 (ii) the expression the “Company” was defined as “the company whose shares
may be acquired by the exercise of Options granted under this Plan”. 
 (m) Section 13(a) of the Plan shall not apply
to Approved Options granted under this Schedule A other than to comply with US federal or state securities law. Section 13(d) only applies to the extent that the optionee has not already provided an amount of money to cover the tax payable.

 (n) Section 13(d) of the Plan shall apply as if the references to United States taxation applied to UK taxation and
National Insurance contributions, provided that the references to settling a liability in Stock shall only apply if the optionee has agreed to such method of deduction. This facility is restricted to Stock acquired by the exercise of options granted
under this Schedule A. 
 (o) Participation in this Plan by an optionee is a matter entirely separate from any pension right or
entitlement he may have and from his terms or conditions of employment with any participating company and participation in this Plan shall in no respects whatever affect in any way an optionee’s pension rights or entitlement or terms or
conditions of employment with any participating company. In particular (but without limiting the generality of the foregoing words) any optionee who leaves employment with any participating company shall not be entitled to any compensation for any
loss of any right or benefit or prospective right or benefit under this Plan which he might otherwise have enjoyed whether such compensation is claimed by way of damages for wrongful dismissal or breach of contract by way of compensation for loss of
office or otherwise howsoever. 
 (p) Any discretion exercisable under either the Plan or this Schedule A by the Company, any
Subsidiary or Affiliate or any body thereof shall be applied fairly and reasonably. 
 Section A4. Amendments And Termination.

 No amendments to this Schedule A (including any provision of the Plan which is incorporated within this Schedule A)
pursuant to Section 11 which fall within the definition of a key feature within the meaning of paragraph 30(4) of Schedule 4 to ITEPA shall have effect until the approval of HM Revenue and Customs has been obtained in respect thereof. This
Section A4 shall not however restrict the general power of the Board to amend the Plan where the amendment will not apply to this Schedule A. 

  
 17 

 No assurance or warranty is given by the Company that the tax favourable treatment of
Approved Options will apply on exercise of the option or that any corporate restructuring or merger or other corporate activity will permit tax favourable treatment to apply.
