under the Plan or pursuant to the terms and conditions of any Award except for actions taken in bad faith or failures to act in bad faith, and (ii) any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such claim, action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided that such person shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend any such claim, action, suit or proceeding before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or under any other power that the Company may have to indemnify or hold harmless, each such person.

7. Terms and Conditions of Options.

a. Designation of Options. Each Option shall be designated as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option in the applicable Option Agreement. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares subject to options designated as incentive stock options which become exercisable for the first time by an Optionee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such excess options, to the extent of the Shares covered thereby in excess of the foregoing limitation shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. For this purpose, incentive stock options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the date the option with respect to such Shares is granted.

b. Conditions of Option. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Administrator shall determine the provisions, terms, and conditions of each Option including, but not limited to, the Option vesting schedule, repurchase provisions, rights of first refusal, forfeiture provisions, and satisfaction of any performance criteria. The performance criteria established by the Administrator may be based on any one of, or combination of, increase in share price, earnings per share, total stockholder return, return on equity, return on assets, return on investment, net operating income, cash flow, revenue, economic value added, personal management objectives, or other measure of performance selected by the Administrator. Partial achievement of the specified criteria may result in vesting corresponding to the degree of achievement as specified in the Option Agreement.

c. Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be the term stated in the Option Agreement, provided, however, that the term of an Incentive Stock Option shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof. However, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time of the Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement.

d. Transferability of Options. Options may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, Transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee. The designation of a beneficiary by an Optionee will not constitute a transfer for purposes of this provision.

e. Time of Granting Options. The date of grant of an Option shall for all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination to grant such Option, or such other date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the grant determination shall be given to each Employee, Director or Consultant to whom an Option is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

8. Option Exercise Price, Consideration and Taxes.

a. Exercise Price. The per Share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement, but shall be subject to the following:

i) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option:

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

(2) granted to any Employee other than an Employee described in the preceding paragraph, the per Share exercise price shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

ii) Except as provided in subsection (iii) below, in the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the per Share exercise price shall be such price as determined by the administrator, provided that, if the per Share exercise price is less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant it shall comply with all Applicable Laws, including Section 409A of the Code.

iii) In the case of Options intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the per Share exercise price shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price other than as required above pursuant to a merger or other Corporate Transaction.

b. Consideration. Subject to Applicable Laws, the consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option and to the extent required by Applicable laws, shall be determined at the time of grant) and may consist of the following:

i) cash;

ii) check;

iii) to the extent permitted under Applicable Laws, delivery of Optionee’s promissory note with such recourse, interest, security, and redemption provisions as the Administrator determines as appropriate;

iv) surrender of Shares (including withholding of Shares otherwise deliverable upon exercise of the Option) which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the shares as to which said Option shall be exercised; provided that in the case of Shares acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, require that Shares tendered for payment be previously held by the Participant for a minimum duration (e.g., to avoid financial accounting charges to the Company’s earnings);

v) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with such other documentation as the Administrator and a securities broker designated by the Administrator, if applicable, shall require to effect an exercise of the Option and delivery to the Company of the sale or loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price;

vi) such other consideration and method of payment permitted under Applicable Laws; or

vii) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

c. Taxes. No Shares shall be delivered under the Plan to any Optionee or other person until such Optionee or other person has made arrangements acceptable to the Administrator for the satisfaction of any foreign, federal, state, or local income and employment tax obligations and any other required deductions, including, without limitation, obligations incident to the grant, exercise or vesting of the Option, the receipt of Shares or the disposition of shares received on exercise.

9. Exercise of Option.

a. Procedure for Exercise; rights as a Stockholder.

i) Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator consistent with the terms of the Plan and specified in the Option Agreement.

ii) The Administrator shall have the discretion to determine whether and to what extent the vesting of Options shall be tolled during any leave of absence; provided, however, that in the absence of such determination, vesting of Options shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence (unless otherwise required by the Applicable Laws). In the event of military leave, vesting shall toll during any unpaid portion of such leave, provided that, upon a Optionee’s returning from military leave (under conditions that would entitle him or her to protection upon such return under the Uniform Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act), he or she shall be given vesting credit with respect to Options to the same extent as would have applied had the Optionee continued to provide services to the Company (any Parent or Subsidiary, if applicable) throughout the leave on the same terms as he or she was providing services immediately prior to such leave.

iii) An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such exercise has been received by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option, full payment for the shares with respect to which the Option is exercised has been received by the Company and any applicable tax obligations have been satisfied. Until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the Shares, no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares upon exercise of the Option. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in the Option Agreement or Section 11, below.

iv) An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. The Administrator may require that an Option be exercised as to a minimum number of Shares, provided that such requirement shall not prevent an Optionee from exercising the full number of Shares as to which the Option is then exercisable.

b. Exercise of Option following Termination of Employment, Director or Consulting Relationship.

i) Termination. Upon termination of an Optionee’s Continuous status as an Employee, Director or Consultant, other than upon the Optionee’s death or Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as if specified in the Option Agreement (which shall not be less than 30 days unless Optionee is terminated for Cause) to the extent that the Option is vested (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Optionee’s termination. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise all or any portion of his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, such portion of the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

ii) Disability of Optionee. If an Optionee’s Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant terminates as a result of the Optionee’s Disability, the Optionee may exercise the Option to the extent the Option is vested, but only within twelve (12) months from the date of such termination (and in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). If such Disability is not a “disability” as such term is defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option such Incentive Stock Option shall automatically convert to a Non-Qualified Stock Option on the day three (3) months and one (1) day following such termination. If, after termination, all or any portion of the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein, such portion of the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

iii) Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of an Optionee, the Option may be exercised at any time within twelve (12) months following the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement) to the extent the Option is vested. The Option may be exercised by the executor or administrator of the Optionee’s estate or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to exercise the Option under the Optionee’s will or the laws of descent or distribution. If all or any portion of the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, such portion of the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

c. Buyout Provisions. The Administrator may at any time offer to buy out for a payment in cash or Shares, an Option previously granted, based on such terms and conditions as the Administration shall establish and communicate to the Optionee at the time that such offer is made.

10. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

a. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to any Award and, if applicable the exercise thereof, unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all Applicable Laws, and shall be further subject to the approval or counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

b. As a condition to the exercise of an Option or the issuance of Shares pursuant to any Award, the Company may require the person exercising such Option or holding such Award to represent and warrant that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any Applicable Laws.

11. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number and class of shares or other securities covered by each outstanding Award, and the number and class of Shares or other securities which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no awards have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each outstanding award and any applicable repurchase price, shall be proportionately adjusted for any

increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination, consolidation, recapitalization or reclassification of the Common Stock, subdivision of the Shares, dividend payable in other than Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the price of the shares, a reorganization, merger, liquidation, spin-off, slit-up, distribution, exchange of Shares, repurchase of Shares, change in corporate structure, or any other similar event resulting in an increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason hereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an Option. If, by reason of an adjustment pursuant to this Section 11, a Participant’s Award shall cover additional or different shares of stock or securities, then such additional or different shares of stock or securities, then such additional or different shares, and the Award in respect thereof, shall be subject to all of the terms, conditions and restrictions which were applicable to the Award and the Shares subject to the Award prior to such adjustment.

12. Corporate Transactions.

a. Accelerated Vesting. In the event of any Corporate Transaction, each Option which is at the time outstanding under the Plan automatically shall become fully vested and exercisable and be released from any restrictions on transfer and repurchase or forfeiture rights, immediately prior to the specified effective date of such Corporate Transaction, for all of the Shares at the time represented by such Option. However, an outstanding Option under the Plan shall not so fully vest and be exercisable and released from such limitations if and to the extent: (i) such Option is, in connection with the Corporate Transaction, either to be assumed by the successor corporation or parent thereof or to be replaced with a comparable option with respect to shares of the capital stock of the successor corporation or parent thereof, or (ii) such Option is to be replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the compensation element of such Option existing at the time of the Corporate Transaction and provides for subsequent payout in accordance with the same vesting schedule applicable to such Option. The determination of option comparability under clause (i) above shall be made by the Administrator, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.

b. Termination of Plan Options. Effective upon the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, all outstanding Options under the Plan shall terminate and cease to remain outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor company of its Parent.

c. Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, each Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such action, unless otherwise determined b the Administrator.

13. Restricted Stock. A Restricted Stock Award is an offer by the Company to sell to an eligible person Shares that are subject to restrictions. The Administrator shall determine to whom an offer will be made, the number of Shares the person may person, the price to be paid (the “Purchase Price”), the restrictions to which the Shares shall be subject, and all other terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Award, subject to the following:

a. Form of Restricted Stock Award. All purchases under a Restricted Stock Award made pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement. The offer of Restricted Stock shall be accepted by the Participant’s execution and delivery of the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement and full payment for the shares to the Company within thirty (30) days from the date the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement is delivered to the person. If such person does not execute and deliver the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement, along with full payment for the Shares to the Company within thirty (30) days, then the offer shall terminate, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator.

b. Purchase Price. The Purchase Price of Shares sold pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award shall be determined by the Administrator, subject to Applicable Laws. Payment of the Purchase Price may be made in accordance with Section 8(b) of the Plan.

c. Restrictions. Restricted Stock Awards shall be subject to such restrictions as the Administrator may impose. The Administrator may provide for the lapse of such restrictions in installments and may accelerate or waiver such restrictions, in whole or in part, based on length of service, performance or such other factors or criteria as the Administrator may determine. Restricted Stock Awards which the Administrator intends to qualify under Code section 162(m) shall be subject to a performance based goal. Restrictions on such stock shall lapse based on one or more of the following performance goals: stock price, market share, sales increases, earnings per share, return on equity, cost reductions, or any other similar performance measure established by the Administrator. Such performance measures shall be established by the Administrator, in writing, no later than the earlier of (a) ninety (90) days after the commencement of the performance period with respect to which the Restricted Stock award is made and (b) the date as of which twenty-five percent (25%) of such performance period has elapsed.

14. Stock Bonuses.

a. Awards of Stock Bonuses. A Stock Bonus is an award of Shares (which may consist of Restricted Stock) for services rendered to the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate. A Stock Bonus may be awarded for past services already rendered to the Company, or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate pursuant to a Stock Bonus Agreement or upon satisfaction of such performance goals as are set out in advance in a Participant’s Performance Stock Bonus Agreement. Stock Bonuses may vary from Participant to Participant and between groups of Participants, and may be based upon such other criteria as the Administrator may determine.

b. Code Section 162(m). A Stock Bonus that the Administrator intends to qualify for the performance-based exception under Code section 162(m) shall only be awarded based upon the attainment of one or more of the following performance goals; stock price, market share, sales increases, earning per share, return on equity, cost reductions, or any other similar performance measure established by the Administrator. Such performance measures shall be established by the Administrator, in writing, no later than the earlier of: (a) ninety (90) days after the commencement of the performance period with respect to which the Stock Bonus award is made; and (b) the date as of which twenty-five percent (25%) of such performance period has elapsed.

c. Terms of Stock Bonuses. The Administrator shall determine the number of Shares to be awarded to the Participant and whether such Shares shall be Restricted Stock. If the Stock Bonus is being earned upon the satisfaction of performance goals pursuant to a Performance Stock Bonus Agreement, then the Administrator shall determine: (a) the nature, length and starting date of any period during which performance is to be measured (the “Performance Period”) for each Stock Bonus; (b) the performance goals and criteria to be used to measure the performance, if any; (c) the number of Shares that may be awarded to the Participant; and (d) the extent to which such Stock Bonuses have been earned. Performance Periods may overlap and Participants may participate simultaneously with respect to Stock Bonuses that are subject to different Performance Periods and different performance goals and other criteria. The number of Shares may be fixed or may vary in accordance with such performance goals and criteria as may be determined by the Administrator. The Administrator may adjust the performance goals applicable to the Stock Bonuses to take into account changes in law and accounting or tax rules and to make such adjustments as the Administrator deems necessary or appropriate to reflect the impact of extraordinary or unusual items, events or circumstances to avoid windfalls or hardships.

d. Form of Payment. Subject to Applicable Laws, the earned portion of a Stock Bonus may be paid currently or on a deferred basis with such interest or dividend equivalent, if any, as the Administrator may determine. Payment shall be made in the form of whole Shares, including Restricted Stock, either in a lump sum payment or in installments, all as the Administrator shall determine.

e. Termination During Performance Period. If a Participant is terminated during a Performance Period for any reason, then such Participant shall be entitled to payment with respect to the Stock Bonus only to the extent earned as of the date of termination in accordance with the Performance Stock Bonus Agreement, unless the Administrator shall determine otherwise.

15. Restricted Stock Units.

a. Awards of Restricted Stock Units. A Restricted Stock Unit (“RSU”) is an Award covering a number of Shares that may be settled in cash, or by issuance of those Shares at a date in the future. No Purchase Price shall apply to an RSU settled in Shares. All grants of Restricted Stock Units will be evidenced by an RSU Agreement that will be in such form (which need not be the same for each Participant) as the Committee will from time to time approve, and will comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan.

b. Form and Timing of Settlement. To the extent permissible under applicable law, the Board or Committee may permit a Participant to defer payment under a RSU to a date or dates after the RSU is earned, provided that the terms of the RSU and any deferral satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (or any successor) and any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder. Payment may be made in the form of cash or whole Shares or a combination thereof, all as the Committee determines.

c. Restrictions. RSU Awards may be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 16 hereof or such other restrictions not inconsistent with Section 25102(o) of the California Corporations Code.

16. Proxy; Voting Agreement; Stock Transfer Restriction.

a. Irrevocable Proxy. As a condition to receiving any Award under the Plan, Participants shall be required to appoint the Chairman of the Board or his or her designee (the “Proxyholder”), as such Participant’s true and lawful proxy and attorney, with the power to act alone and with full power of substitution, to vote or act by written consent with respect to all of such Participant’s Shares issued under the Plan in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 16, and to execute all appropriate instruments consistent with this Section 16 on behalf of such Participant. The proxy and power granted by Participant pursuant to this subsection (a) shall be coupled with an interest and given to secure the performance of such party’s duties under this Section 16. Each such proxy and power will be irrevocable until the time referenced in Section 16(e) below. The proxy and power will survive the death, incompetency, and disability of the Participant.

b. Voting Agreement On All Matters. Subject to Applicable Laws, with respect to all Shares issued pursuant to the Plan and held by any Participant, in the event that a majority of the members of the Board approves of any matter, action, ratification or other event for which approval of some or all of the Company’s stockholders is sought (either by vote or written consent) or upon which such stockholders are otherwise entitled to vote or consent, then Proxyholder shall vote (in person, by proxy, or by action by written consent, as applicable) all Shares issued pursuant to the Plan and held by any Participant and as to which Participant has beneficial ownership or otherwise exercises voting or dispositive authority in favor of approving such matter, action, ratification, or other event consistent with the vote of the majority of the members of the Board.

c. Stock Transfer Restriction. Subject to Applicable Laws, no Shares issued pursuant to the Plan and held by any Participant may be Transferred without the prior written consent of the Company.

d. Additional Covenants and Agreements.

i) Specific Enforcement. It is agreed and understood that monetary damages would not adequately compensate the Company for the violation of any of the provisions of this Section 16, that this Section 16 shall be specifically enforceable, and that any violation or threatened violation of this Section 16 shall be the proper subject of a temporary or permanent injunction or restraining order. Participants shall waive any claim or defense that there is an adequate remedy at law for such violation or threatened violation.

ii) Proxyholder’s Liability. The Proxyholder shall not be liable for any error of judgment nor for any act done or omitted, nor for any mistake of fact or law nor for anything which the Proxyholder may do or refrain from doing in good faith, nor shall the Proxyholder have any accountability hereunder, except for Proxyholder’s own bad faith, gross negligence, or willful misconduct. Furthermore, upon any judicial or other inquiry or investigation of or concerning the Proxyholder’s acts pursuant to Proxyholder’s rights and powers as described in this Section 16, such acts shall be deemed reasonable and in the best interests of Participants unless proved to the contrary by clear and convincing evidence.

e. Termination of Provisions. The provisions set forth in this Section 16 shall terminate upon the first sale of Common Stock of the Company to the general public pursuant to a registration statement filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act.

17. Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the Board and shall continue in effect until June 23, 2020 unless sooner terminated pursuant to Section 19.

18. Securities Law Compliance. If stock options issued under this Plan are intended to qualify for exemption from qualification under Section 25102(o) of the California General Corporation Law (“Section 25102(o)”), then (i) any options or stock issued pursuant to this Plan shall be issued in compliance with Section 25102(o) and the rules and regulations of Title 10, California Code of Regulations and (ii) the requirements of Section 25102(o) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder are hereby incorporated by reference, as Section 25102(o) and such rules and regulations may be amended from time to time.

In compliance with Section 25102(o), the Company shall furnish summary financial information (audited or unaudited) of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, consistent with the requirements of Applicable Laws, at least annually to each Participant whose Award is issued in reliance on Section 25102(o) during the period such Participant has one or more Awards outstanding, and in the case of an individual who acquired Shares pursuant to the Plan, during the period such Participant owns such Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to provide such information if (i) the issuance is limited to key employees whose duties in connection with the Company assure their access to equivalent information or (ii) the Plan or any agreement complies with all conditions of Rule 701 of the Securities Act; provided that for purposes of determining such compliance, any registered domestic partner shall be considered a “family member” as that term is defined in Rule 701.

19. Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan.

a. The Board may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the Plan. To the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Laws, the Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required.

b. No Option may be granted during any suspension of the Plan or after termination of the Plan.

c. Any amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall not adversely affect Awards already granted, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company.

20. Reservation of Shares.

a. The Company, during the term of the Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

b. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

21. Information to Optionees. If the Company is relying on the exemption from registration under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 12h-1(f)(1) promulgated under the Exchange Act, then the Company shall provide the Required Information (as defined below) in the manner required by Rule 12h-1(f)(1) to all optionees every six months until the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or is no longer relying on the exemption pursuant to Rule 12h-1(f)(1); provided, that, prior to receiving access to the Required Information the optionee must agree to keep the Required Information confidential pursuant to a written agreement in the form provided by the Company. For purposes of this Section 20, “Required Information” means the information described in Rules 701(e)(3), (4) and (5) under the Securities Act, with the financial statements being not more than 180 days old before the sale of securities to which it relates.

22. Addenda. The Administrator may approve such addenda to the Plan as it may consider necessary or appropriate for the purpose of granting Awards to Employees, Consultants or Directors, which Awards may contain such terms and conditions as the Administrator deems necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy or custom, which, if so required under Applicable Laws, may deviate from the terms and conditions set forth in this Plan. The terms of any such addenda shall supersede the terms of the Plan to the extent necessary to accommodate such differences but shall not otherwise affect the terms of the Plan as in effect for any other purpose.

This Option may not be exercised until such time as the Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company, or if the issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such Shares would constitute a violation of any Applicable Laws, including any applicable U.S. federal or state securities laws or any other law or regulation, including any rule under Part 221 of Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board.

Agreement. Any sale or transfer of the Company’s Shares shall be void unless the provisions of this Agreement are satisfied.

(e) Termination of Rights. The stock transfer restriction/right of first refusal set forth in Section 3(a) above and the option to repurchase the Shares in the event of an involuntary transfer granted the Company by Section 3(b) above shall terminate upon the first sale of Common Stock of the Company to the general public pursuant to a registration statement filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Upon termination of the stock transfer restriction/right of first refusal described in Section 3(a) above, the Company shall remove any stop-transfer notices referred to in Section 5(b) below that are related to the restrictions in this Section 3, and, if certificates are issued, a new certificate or certificates representing the Shares not repurchased shall be issued, on request, without the legend referred to in Section 5(a)(ii) herein and delivered to Purchaser.

4. Investment and Taxation Representations. In connection with the purchase of the Shares, Purchaser represents to the Company the following:

(a) Purchaser is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares. Purchaser is purchasing these securities for investment for his or her own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act or under any applicable provision of state law. Purchaser does not have any present intention to transfer the Shares to any person or entity.

(b) Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein.

(c) Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that the securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the securities. Purchaser understands that the Shares will be subject to stop-transfer notices pursuant to Section 5(b) below, or, if certificates evidencing the securities are issued, such certificate(s) will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the securities unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel for the Company.

(d) Purchaser is familiar with the provisions of Rules 144 and 701, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer of the securities (or from an affiliate of such issuer), in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Purchaser understands that the Company provides no assurances as to whether he or she will be able to resell any or all of the Shares pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 701, which rules require, among other things, that the Company be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that resales of securities take place only after the holder of

the Shares has held the Shares for certain specified time periods, and under certain circumstances, that resales of securities be limited in volume and take place only pursuant to brokered transactions. Notwithstanding this paragraph (d), Purchaser acknowledges and agrees to the restrictions set forth in paragraph (e) below.

(e) Purchaser further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 144 or 701 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk.

(f) Purchaser understands that Purchaser may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of Purchaser’s purchase or disposition of the Shares. Purchaser represents that Purchaser has consulted any tax consultants Purchaser deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition of the Shares and that Purchaser is not relying on the Company for any tax advice.

5. Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders.

(a) Legends. If any certificate(s) are issued representing the Shares, such certificate(s) shall bear the following legends (as well as any legends required by applicable state and federal corporate and securities laws):

(i)

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.

(ii)

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY. SUCH AGREEMENT MAY RESTRICT THE STOCKHOLDER’S RIGHT TO TRANSFER ITS ENTIRE INTEREST IN THE SHARES.

(iii)

THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO VOTING RESTRICTIONS WHICH POTENTIALLY RESTRICT THE STOCKHOLDER’S RIGHT TO VOTE ITS ENTIRE INTEREST IN THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY, AND BY ACCEPTING ANY INTEREST IN SUCH SHARES THE PERSON ACCEPTING SUCH INTEREST SHALL BE DEEMED TO AGREE TO AND SHALL BECOME BOUND BY ALL SUCH VOTING RESTRICTIONS.

(b) Stop-Transfer Notices. Purchaser agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.

(c) Refusal to Transfer. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred.

6. No Employment Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect in any manner whatsoever the right or power of the Company, or a parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, to terminate Purchaser’s employment or consulting relationship, for any reason, with or without cause.

7. Lock-Up Agreement. In connection with the initial public offering of the Company’s securities and upon request of the Company or the underwriters managing any underwritten offering of the Company’s securities, Optionee hereby agrees not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company however and whenever acquired (other than those included in the registration) without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time (not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days) from the effective date of such registration as may be requested by the Company or such managing underwriters and to execute an agreement reflecting the foregoing as may be requested by the underwriters at the time of the public offering; provided however that, if during the last seventeen (17) days of the restricted period the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs, or prior to the expiration of the restricted period the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the sixteen (16)-day period beginning on the last day of the restricted period, then, upon the request of the managing underwriter, to the extent required by any FINRA rules, the restrictions imposed by this Section shall continue to apply until the end of the third trading day following the expiration of the fifteen (15)-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event. In no event will the restricted period extend beyond two hundred sixteen (216) days after the effective date of the registration statement.

8. Proxy; Voting Agreement.

(a) Irrevocable Proxy. By signing below, Purchaser hereby appoints the Chairman of the Board or his or her designee (the “Proxyholder”), as Purchaser’s true and lawful proxy and attorney, with the power to act alone and with full power of substitution, to vote or act by written consent with respect to all of the Shares in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 8, and to execute all appropriate instruments consistent with this Section 8 on behalf of Purchaser. The proxy and power granted by Purchaser pursuant to this subsection (a) is hereby coupled with an interest and given to secure the performance of Proxyholder’s duties under this Section 8.

(b) Voting Agreement On All Matters. Subject to Applicable Laws, in the event that a majority of the members of the Board approves of any matter, action, ratification or other event for which approval of some or all of the Company’s stockholders is sought (either by vote or written consent) or upon which such stockholders are otherwise entitled to vote or consent, Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that Proxyholder shall vote (in person, by proxy, or by action by written consent, as applicable) all of the Shares in favor of approving such matter, action, ratification or other event consistent with the vote of the majority of the members of the Board.

(c) Termination of Provisions. The provisions set forth in this Section 8 shall terminate upon the first sale of Common Stock of the Company to the general public pursuant to a registration statement filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act.

9. Miscellaneous.

(b) Entire Agreement; Enforcement of Rights. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter herein and merges all prior discussions between them. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the parties to this Agreement. The failure by either party to enforce any rights under this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any rights of such party.

(c) Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under Applicable Laws, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii) the balance of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
