Effective June 1, 2020, Xperi Holding completed the previously announced merger of equals transaction contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of December 18, 2019, as amended on January 31, 2020 (the Merger Agreement), by and among Xperi Corporation (Xperi), TiVo Corporation (TiVo), Xperi Holding, XRAY Merger Sub Corporation (Xperi Merger Sub) and TWOLF Merger Sub Corporation (TiVo Merger Sub). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) Xperi Merger Sub was merged with and into Xperi, with Xperi surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Xperi Holding (the Xperi Merger) and (ii) TiVo Merger Sub was merged with and into TiVo, with TiVo surviving the merger as a subsidiary of Xperi Holding (the TiVo Merger and, together with the Xperi Merger, the Mergers). Upon the consummation of the Mergers, each of Xperi and TiVo became subsidiaries of Xperi Holding.
Upon completion of the Xperi Merger, each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Xperi (the Xperi Common Stock) (excluding any shares of Xperi Common Stock that were held in treasury immediately prior to the effective time of the Xperi Merger, which were automatically canceled and retired for no consideration) was converted into the right to receive one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Xperi Holding (Xperi Holding Common Stock or the Registrants Common Stock). Upon completion of the TiVo Merger, each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of TiVo (the TiVo Common Stock) (excluding any shares of TiVo Common Stock that were held in treasury immediately prior to the effective time of the TiVo Merger, which were automatically canceled and retired for no consideration) was converted into the right to receive 0.455 fully paid and non-assessable shares of Xperi Holding Common Stock (the Exchange Ratio), in addition to cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Xperi Holding Common Stock.
As provided in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Mergers, (i) all options, restricted shares, restricted stock unit awards and other equity awards relating to shares of Xperi Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Mergers were generally automatically converted into options, restricted shares, restricted stock unit awards and other equity awards, respectively, relating to shares of Xperi Holding Common Stock after giving effect to appropriate adjustments to reflect the Mergers and otherwise generally on the same terms and conditions as applied under the applicable plans and award agreements immediately prior to the effective time of the Mergers, and (ii) all options, restricted shares, restricted stock unit awards and other equity awards relating to shares of TiVo Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Mergers were generally automatically converted into options, restricted stock unit awards, restricted shares and other equity awards, respectively, relating to shares of Xperi Holding Common Stock after giving effect to appropriate adjustments to reflect the Mergers (including the Exchange Ratio) and otherwise generally on the same terms and conditions as applied under the applicable plans and award agreements immediately prior to the effective time of the Mergers.
In connection with the Mergers, the Registrant assumed the TiVo Corporation 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (f/k/a the Rovi Corporation Amended 2008 Equity Incentive Plan), the TiVo Inc. Amended and Restated 2008 Equity Incentive Award Plan (now named the TiVo Corporation Titan Equity Incentive Award Plan), the Xperi Corporation Seventh Amended and Restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, the DTS, Inc. 2014 New Employee Incentive Plan, the DTS, Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, the SRS Labs, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, and the DTS, Inc. 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the Assumed Plans) and certain equity awards issued and outstanding under the Assumed Plans.
This Registration Statement is being filed by the Registrant in connection with the registration of Xperi Holding Common Stock issuable to eligible employees of the Registrant or its subsidiaries pursuant to awards granted or that may in the future be granted under the Plans.

ITEM 4. | DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES. |
The Registrants Common Stock is registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act.
ITEM 5. | INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL. |
Not applicable.
ITEM 6. | INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. |
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL) empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such persons conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify directors, officers, employees and other agents of such corporation in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the person to be indemnified has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation must indemnify such person against the expenses (including attorneys fees) which he or she actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.
The Registrants Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference, and Amended and Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference, contain provisions that provide for the indemnification of officers and directors to the fullest extent as is permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, as may be amended from time to time.
As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, the Registrants Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision eliminating the personal liability of its directors to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as may be amended from time to time.
Under the Merger Agreement, the Registrant has agreed that, from and after the effective time of the Mergers, it will indemnify and hold harmless each individual who was as of the date of the Merger Agreement, or who becomes prior to the effective time of the Mergers, a director, officer or employee of TiVo or Xperi or any of their respective subsidiaries or who was as of the date of the Merger Agreement, or who thereafter commences prior to the effective time of the Mergers, serving at the request of TiVo or Xperi, as applicable, or any of their respective subsidiaries as a director or officer of another person (the Indemnified Parties), against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, inquiries, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the effective time of the Mergers (including the Merger Agreement and the transactions and actions contemplated thereby)), arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the Indemnified Party is or was an officer, director or employees of TiVo or Xperi, as applicable, or any of their respective subsidiaries or is or was serving at the request of TiVo or Xperi, as applicable, or any of their respective subsidiaries, as a director, officer or employee of another person or in respect of any acts or omissions in their capacities as such occurring prior to the effective time of the Mergers, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the effective time of the Mergers, in each case to the same extent as such Indemnified Parties were indemnified as of the date of the Merger Agreement by TiVo pursuant to TiVos Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, TiVos Bylaws, as amended, or the governing or organizational documents of any subsidiary of TiVo, or by Xperi pursuant to Xperis Certificate of Incorporation, Xperis Bylaws, as amended, or the governing organizational documents of any subsidiary of Xperi, as applicable, or any indemnification agreements, in each case, in existence as of the date of the Merger Agreement.
The Merger Agreement also requires the Registrant to maintain for six (6) years following the Mergers either the current policies of directors and officers liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance currently maintained by each of Xperi and TiVo and any of their subsidiaries or provide substitute policies for not less than the existing coverage and having other terms not less favorable to the insured persons, except that in no event will the annual cost to the Registrant for maintaining such policies exceed three hundred-percent (300%) of the annual premium paid by Xperi or TiVo, as applicable, referred to as the maximum amounts. Each of Xperi and TiVo may obtain a six (6)-year tail policy under such partys existing directors and officers insurance policy in lieu of the foregoing, in each case for a cost not to exceed the applicable maximum amount.

ITEM 9. | UNDERTAKINGS. |
(a) The Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act, as amended, which we refer to as the Securities Act;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement (notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective Registration Statement); and
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrants annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the city and state as set forth below, on June 1, 2020.

Shares issued upon exercise of Awards may be authorized but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock. Subject to the provisions of Section 13 of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options is 8,000,000.
(b) If any Shares subject to an Award are forfeited or expire or such Award is settled for cash (in whole or in part), the Shares subject to such Award shall, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration or cash settlement, again be available for future grants of Awards under the Plan in an amount corresponding to the reduction in the share reserve previously made in

accordance with Section 3(a) with respect to such Award. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the following Shares shall not be added back to the Shares authorized for grant under Section 3(a) and will not be available for future grants of Awards: (i) Shares tendered by a Holder or withheld by the Company in payment of the exercise price of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right; (ii) Shares tendered by the Holder or withheld by the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligation with respect to an Award; (iii) Shares subject to a Stock Appreciation Right that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the Stock Appreciation Right on exercise thereof; and (iv) Shares purchased on the open market with the cash proceeds from the exercise of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights.

The payment of Dividend Equivalents in cash in conjunction with any outstanding Awards shall not be counted against the Shares available for issuance under the Plan. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3(b), no Shares may again be optioned, granted or awarded if such action would cause an Incentive Stock Option to fail to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code.
4. Administration of the Plan.
(a) Administrator. A Committee of the Board shall administer the Plan and the Committee shall consist solely of two or more Non-Employee Directors each of whom is a non-employee director within the meaning of Rule 16b-3, and such Committee shall be otherwise comprised to comply with all Applicable Laws. Within the scope of such authority, the Board or the Committee may delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board who are not non-employee directors, within the meaning of Rule 16b-3, the authority to grant Awards under the Plan to eligible persons who are not then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In its absolute discretion, the Board may at any time and from time to time exercise any and all rights and duties of the Committee under the Plan except with respect to matters which under Rule 16b-3, or any regulations or rules issued thereunder, are required to be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the full Board, acting by a majority of its members in office, shall conduct the general administration of the Plan with respect to Awards granted to Non-Employee Directors. Should any Awards made under the Plan prior to November 2, 2017 be intended to qualify as performance-based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code prior to its repeal (162(m) Awards), then all such determinations regarding such Awards will be made solely by a Committee comprised solely of two of more outside directors within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.
(b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and, in the case of a Committee, the specific duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, and subject to the approval of any relevant authorities, the Administrator shall have the authority in its discretion:
(i) to determine the Fair Market Value;
7
(ii) to select the Service Providers to whom Awards may from time to time be granted hereunder;
(iii) to determine the number of Shares to be covered by each such Award granted hereunder;
(iv) to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;
(v) to determine the terms and conditions of any Awards granted hereunder. Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Awards may be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Award or the Common Stock relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine;
(vi) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of qualifying for preferred tax treatment under foreign tax laws; and
(vii) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and awards granted pursuant to the Plan.
(c) Effect of Administrators Decision. All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and binding on all Holders.
(d) Provisions Applicable to Section 162(m) Participants. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award, each 162(m) Award (and each Award which was otherwise not subject to the deduction limitation of Section 162(m) of the Code) shall be subject to any additional limitations as the Committee determines necessary for such 162(m) Award to qualify as performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code prior to its repeal (or to be so exempt) pursuant to the transition relief rules in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, and to the extent any of the provisions of the Plan or any Award (or any amendments hereto pursuant to this amendment and restatement of the Plan) would cause any 162(m) Awards to fail to so qualify or other Awards to be so exempt, any such provisions shall not apply to such Awards to the extent necessary to ensure the continued qualification or exemption of such Awards. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Plan and any such Awards shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements.
5. Eligibility.
(a) General Eligibility. Awards may be granted to Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. Each Non-Employee Director of the Company shall be eligible to be automatically granted Options at the times and in the manner as determined by the Administrator.
(b) No Right to Continuing Service. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall confer upon any Holder any right with respect to continuing the Holders relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or the Companys right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause.
8
(c) Award Limit. No Service Provider shall be granted, in any calendar year, Awards to purchase more than 1,500,000 Shares. The foregoing limitation shall be adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Companys capitalization as described in Section 13. For purposes of this Section 5(c), if an Option is canceled in the same calendar year it was granted (other than in connection with a transaction described in Section 13), the canceled Option will be counted against the limit set forth in this Section 5(c). For this purpose, if the exercise price of an Option is reduced, the transaction shall be treated as a cancellation of the Option and the grant of a new Option. In addition, the maximum amount that may be paid in cash during any calendar year with respect to any Award initially payable in cash shall be $1,500,000. The maximum aggregate grant date fair value of Awards granted to a Non-Employee Director as compensation for services as a Non-Employee Director in any calendar year, as determined in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, or any successor thereto, shall be $750,000. The limits on Awards set forth in this Section 5(c) are referred to herein collectively as the Award Limits.
6. Term of Plan. This Xperi Holding Corporation 2020 Equity Incentive Plan shall become effective on the date it is approved by the Companys stockholders (the Effective Date) and shall continue in effect until terminated under Section 15 of the Plan. No Awards may be granted or awarded during any period of suspension or after termination of the Plan, and, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event may any Incentive Stock Option be granted under this Plan after May 29, 2030.
7. Terms of Options.
(a) Limitations on Incentive Stock Options. Each Option shall be designated in the applicable Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Holder during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 7(a), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted.
(b) Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be stated in the applicable Award Agreement; provided, however, that the term of an Option shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Holder who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement.
9
(c) Option Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that the per Share exercise price shall be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant (or, as to Incentive Stock Options, on the date the Option is modified, extended or renewed for purposes of Section 424(h) of the Code). In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who, at the time of grant of such Option, owns (or is treated as owning under Section 424 of the Code) 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 exercise price per Share shall be no less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant (or the date the Option is modified, extended or renewed for purposes of Section 424(h) of the Code).
(d) Exercise of Option.
(i) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. Any Option granted hereunder shall be vested and exercisable according to the terms hereof at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Options granted hereunder shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.
An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (A) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Award Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, (B) such representations and documents as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable to effect compliance with Applicable Laws, (C) upon the exercise of all or a portion of an unvested Option pursuant to Section 7(f), a Restricted Stock purchase agreement in a form determined by the Administrator and signed by the Holder or other person then entitled to exercise the Option or such portion of the Option; and (D) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised, including payment of any applicable withholding tax. Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Award Agreement and the Plan.
Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Holder or, if requested by the Holder, in the name of the Holder and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. 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 Section 13 of the Plan.
(ii) Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If a Holder ceases to be a Service Provider other than by reason of the Holders death or Disability, such Holder may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for
10
three (3) months following the Holders termination. If, on the date of termination, the Holder is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Holder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.
(iii) Disability of Optionee. If a Holder ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Holders Disability, the Holder may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Holders termination. If, on the date of termination, the Holder is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Holder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.
(iv) Death of Optionee. If a Holder dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement, by the Holders estate or by a person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the applicable Notice of Grant). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Holders termination. If, at the time of death, the Holder is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan. The Option may be exercised by the executor or administrator of the Holders estate or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to exercise the Option under the Holders will or the laws of descent or distribution. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.
(e) Regulatory Extension. A Holders Award Agreement may provide that if the exercise of the Option following the termination of the Holders status as a Service Provider (other than upon the Holders death or Disability) would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of shares would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act, then the Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the term of the Option set forth in Section 7(b) or (ii) the expiration of a period of thirty (30) days after the termination of the Holders status as a Service Provider during which the exercise of the Option would not be in violation of such registration requirements.
(f) Early Exercisability. The Administrator may provide in the terms of a Holders Award Agreement that the Holder may, at any time before the Holders status as a Service Provider terminates, exercise the Option in whole or in part prior to the full vesting of the Option; provided, however, that Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option which has not fully vested may be subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, transfer or other restrictions as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion.
11
(g) Options in Lieu of Compensation. Options may be granted under the Plan to Employees and Consultants in lieu of cash bonuses which would otherwise be payable to such Employees and Consultants and to Non-Employee Directors in lieu of directors fees which would otherwise be payable to such Non-Employee Directors, pursuant to such policies which may be adopted by the Administrator from time to time.
8. Restricted Stock Awards.
(a) Rights to Purchase. Restricted Stock may be issued to Service Providers either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other Awards granted under the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan. After the Administrator determines that it will offer Restricted Stock under the Plan, it shall advise the offeree in writing or electronically of the terms, conditions and restrictions related to the offer, including the number of Shares that such person shall be entitled to purchase, the price to be paid, if any, and the time within which such person must accept such offer; provided, however, that the purchase price shall be no less than the par value of the Common Stock to be purchased, unless otherwise permitted by applicable state law. Restricted Stock may also be awarded in consideration for past services actually rendered to the Company for its benefit. The offer shall be accepted by execution of an Award Agreement in the form determined by the Administrator.
(b) Repurchase Option; Forfeiture. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the Award Agreement shall grant the Company a repurchase option exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the Holders service with the Company for any reason (including death or Disability). If no cash consideration was paid by the Holder upon issuance, a Holders rights in unvested Restricted Stock shall be forfeited to the Company, without consideration, upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the Holders service with the Company for any reason (including death or Disability). The purchase price for Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to such repurchase right and the rate at which such repurchase right or forfeiture provisions shall lapse shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, and shall be set forth in the Award Agreement; provided, however, that by action taken after the Restricted Stock is issued, the Administrator may, on such terms and conditions as it may determine to be appropriate, remove any or all of the restrictions imposed by the terms of the Award Agreement. Restricted Stock may not be sold or encumbered until all restrictions are terminated or expire.
(c) Other Provisions. The Award Agreement shall contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.
(d) Rights as a Stockholder. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 8(d), once Restricted Stock is issued, the Holder shall have rights equivalent to those of a stockholder, and shall be a stockholder when his or her purchase is entered upon the records of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company. No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Restricted Stock is issued, except as provided in Section 13 of the Plan. In addition, with respect to a share of Restricted Stock, dividends which are paid prior to vesting shall only be paid out to the Holder to the extent that the vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied and the share of Restricted Stock vests.
12
9. Restricted Stock Unit Awards.
(a) Grant of Restricted Stock Units. The Administrator is authorized to grant Awards of Restricted Stock Units to any Service Provider selected by the Administrator in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator.
(b) Purchase Price. The Administrator shall specify the purchase price, if any, to be paid by the Holder to the Company with respect to any Restricted Stock Unit award; provided, however, that value of the consideration shall not be less than the par value of a Share, unless otherwise permitted by Applicable Law.
(c) Vesting of Restricted Stock Units. At the time of grant, the Administrator shall specify the date or dates on which the Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable, and may specify such conditions to vesting as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, vesting based upon the Holders duration of service to the Company or any Subsidiary, one or more Performance Criteria, Company performance, individual performance or other specific criteria, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods, as determined by the Administrator.
(d) Maturity and Payment. At the time of grant, the Administrator shall specify the maturity date applicable to each grant of Restricted Stock Units, which shall be no earlier than the vesting date or dates of the Award and may be determined at the election of the Holder (if permitted by the applicable Award Agreement); provided, however, that except as otherwise determined by the Administrator, and subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Code, in no event shall the maturity date relating to each Restricted Stock Unit occur following the later of (i) the 15th day of the third month following the end of calendar year in which the applicable portion of the Restricted Stock Unit vests; or (ii) the 15th day of the third month following the end of the Companys fiscal year in which the applicable portion of the Restricted Stock Unit vests. On the maturity date, the Company shall, in accordance with the applicable Award Agreement, transfer to the Holder one unrestricted, fully transferable Share for each Restricted Stock Unit scheduled to be paid out on such date and not previously forfeited, or in the sole discretion of the Administrator, an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the maturity date or a combination of cash and Common Stock as determined by the Administrator.
(e) Payment upon Termination of Service. An Award of Restricted Stock Units shall only be payable while the Holder is a Service Provider; provided, however, that the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may provide (in an Award Agreement or otherwise) that a Restricted Stock Unit award may be paid subsequent to a termination of the Holders relationship as a Service Provider following a termination of the Holders relationship as a Service Provider without cause, or following a Change of Control, or because of the Holders retirement, death or Disability, or otherwise.

(b) Performance Awards.
(i) Any Service Provider selected by the Administrator may be granted one or more Performance Awards. The value of such Performance Awards may be linked to any one or more of the Performance Goals or other specific performance goals determined appropriate by the Administrator, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the Administrator. In making such determinations, the Administrator shall consider (among such other factors as it deems relevant in light of the specific type of award) the contributions, responsibilities and other compensation of the particular Service Provider.
(ii) Without limiting Section 10(b)(i), the Administrator may grant Performance Awards to any Service Provider in the form of a cash bonus payable upon the attainment of Performance Goals which are established by the Administrator and relate to one or more of the Performance Criteria over a Performance Period determined by the Administrator.
(c) Dividend Equivalents.
(i) Any Service Provider selected by the Administrator may be granted Dividend Equivalents based on the dividends declared on Common Stock, to be credited as of dividend payment dates, during the period between the date an Award is granted, and the date such Award is exercised, vests or expires, as determined by the Administrator. Such Dividend Equivalents shall be converted to cash or additional shares of Common Stock by such formula and at such time and subject to such limitations as may be determined by the Administrator.
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Dividend Equivalents shall be payable with respect to Options or Stock Appreciation Rights.
(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, dividends and Dividend Equivalents with respect to an Award that is subject to vesting that are based on dividends paid prior to the vesting of such Award shall only be paid out to the Holder to the extent that the vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied and the Award vests.
(d) Stock Payments. Any Service Provider selected by the Administrator may receive Stock Payments in the manner determined from time to time by the Administrator. The number of shares shall be determined by the Administrator and may be based upon the Performance Criteria or other specific performance criteria determined appropriate by the Administrator, determined on the date such Stock Payment is made or on any date thereafter.
(e) Term. The term of a Performance Award, Dividend Equivalent and/or Stock Payment, if any, shall be set by the Administrator in its discretion.

(g) Exercise Upon Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. A Performance Award, Dividend Equivalent and/or Stock Payment is exercisable or payable only while the Holder is a Service Provider, as applicable; provided, however, that the Administrator in its sole and absolute discretion may provide that the Performance Award, Dividend Equivalent and/or Stock Payment may be exercised or paid subsequent to a termination of the Holders relationship as a Service Provider following a termination of the Holders relationship as a Service Provider without cause, or following a Change of Control, or because of the Holders retirement, death or Disability, or otherwise.
(h) Form of Payment. Payment of the amount determined under Section 10(b) or 10(c) above shall be in cash, in Common Stock or a combination of both, as determined by the Administrator. To the extent any payment under this Section 10 is effected in Common Stock, it shall be made subject to satisfaction of all provisions of Section 16.
11. Stock Appreciation Rights.
(a) Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted to any Service Provider selected by the Administrator. A Stock Appreciation Right shall be subject to such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Administrator shall impose and shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement.
(b) Term; Exercise Price. A Stock Appreciation Right shall have a term set by the Administrator; provided, however, that the term of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be no more than ten (10) years. A Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable in such installments as the Administrator may determine. A Stock Appreciation Right shall cover such number of shares of Common Stock as the Administrator may determine. The exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to each Stock Appreciation Right shall be set by the Administrator; provided, however, that the per share exercise price of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant of such Stock Appreciation Right. A Stock Appreciation Right is exercisable only while the Holder is a Service Provider; provided, however, that the Administrator may determine that the Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised subsequent to termination of the Holders relationship as a Service Provider without cause, or following a Change of Control, or because of the Holders retirement, death or Disability, or otherwise.
(c) Entitlement Upon Exercise. A Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle the Holder (or other person entitled to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right pursuant to the Plan) to exercise all or a specified portion of the Stock Appreciation Right (to the extent then exercisable pursuant to its terms) and to receive from the Company an amount determined by multiplying the difference obtained by subtracting the exercise price per share of the Stock Appreciation Right from the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right by the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised, subject to any limitations the Administrator may impose.
15
(d) Payment and Limitations on Exercise.
(i) Payment of the amounts determined under Section 11(c) above shall be in cash, in Common Stock (based on its Fair Market Value as of the date the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised) or a combination of both, as determined by the Administrator. To the extent such payment is effected in Common Stock it shall be made subject to satisfaction of all provisions of Section 16.
(ii) Holders of Stock Appreciation Rights may be required to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the Administrator.
12. Non-Transferability of Awards.
(a) No Award under the Plan may be sold, pledged, assigned hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, subject to the consent of the Administrator, pursuant to a DRO, unless and until such Award has been exercised, or the Shares underlying such Award have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such shares have lapsed.
(b) During the lifetime of the Holder, only he or she may exercise an Award (or any portion thereof) granted to him or her under the Plan, unless it has been disposed of with the consent of the Administrator pursuant to a DRO. After the death of the Holder, any exercisable portion of an Award may, prior to the time when such portion becomes unexercisable under the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement, be exercised by his or her personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Holders will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution.
13. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Merger or Asset Sale.
(a) Subject to Section 13(e), in the event that the Administrator determines that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, liquidation, dissolution, or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event, in the Administrators sole discretion, affects the Common Stock (other than an Equity Restructuring) such that an adjustment is determined by the Administrator to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award, then the Administrator shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of:
16
(i) the number and kind of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted or awarded (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 3 on the maximum number and kind of shares which may be issued, adjustments to the Award Limits, and adjustments of the manner in which shares subject to Full Value Awards will be counted);
(ii) the number and kind of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards; and
(iii) the grant or exercise price with respect to any Award.
(b) Subject to Sections 13(d) and (e), in the event of any transaction or event described in Section 13(a), the Administrator, in its sole discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, either by the terms of the Award or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event and either automatically or upon the Holders request, is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Administrator determines that such action is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award granted or issued under the Plan or to facilitate such transaction or event:
(i) To provide for either the purchase of any such Award for an amount of cash equal to the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Holders rights had such Award been currently exercisable or payable or fully vested or the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator in its sole discretion;
(ii) To provide that such Award shall be exercisable as to all shares covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the provisions of such Award;
(iii) To provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar options, rights or awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices;
(iv) To make adjustments in the number and type of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding Awards or Awards which may be granted in the future; and
(v) To provide that immediately upon the consummation of such event, such Award shall not be exercisable and shall terminate; provided, however, that for a specified period of time prior to such event, such Award shall be exercisable as to all Shares covered thereby, and the restrictions imposed under an Award Agreement upon some or all Shares may be terminated.
17
(c) Subject to Section 3, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, include such further provisions and limitations in any Award Agreement or certificate, as it may deem equitable and in the best interests of the Company.
(d) In the event of a Change of Control, then each outstanding Award shall be assumed or an equivalent Award or right substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation or a Parent or a Subsidiary of the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for each outstanding Award, the Holders shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise, if applicable, each outstanding Award as to all of the Shares covered thereby, including Shares as to which would not otherwise be vested and/or exercisable and/or payable. If an Award becomes fully vested and/or exercisable and/or payable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a Change of Control, the Administrator shall notify all Holders that all outstanding Awards shall be fully vested and/or exercisable and/or payable for a period of at least fifteen (15) days prior to the closing of the Change of Control (or such other period as determined by the Administrator), and any Awards that are not exercised, if applicable, within such period shall terminate immediately prior to the Change of Control. For the purposes of this paragraph, an outstanding Award shall be considered assumed if, following the consummation of the Change of Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the consummation of the Change of Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities property) received in the Change of Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change of Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise or payment of the Award, for each Share subject to the Award, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent or Subsidiary equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Change of Control.
(e) With respect to 162(m) Awards, no adjustment or action described in this Section 13 or in any other provision of the Plan shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment or action would cause such Award to fail to so qualify under Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code prior to its repeal unless the Administrator determines that the Award should not so qualify. Furthermore, no such adjustment or action shall be authorized to the extent such adjustment or action would result in short-swing profits liability under Section 16 of the Exchange Act or violate the exemptive conditions of Rule 16b-3 unless the Administrator determines that the Award is not to comply with such exemptive conditions.
(f) In connection with the occurrence of any Equity Restructuring, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 13(a) and 13(b):
(i) The number and type of securities subject to each outstanding Award and the exercise price or grant price thereof, if applicable, shall be equitably adjusted. The adjustments provided under this Section 13(f) shall be nondiscretionary and shall be final and binding on the affected Holder and the Company.
18
(ii) The Administrator shall make such equitable adjustments, if any, as the Administrator may deem appropriate to reflect such Equity Restructuring with respect to the aggregate number and kind of shares that may be issued under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 3 on the maximum number and kind of shares which may be issued under the Plan, adjustments to the Award Limits in Section 5(c), and adjustments of the manner in which shares subject to Full Value Awards will be counted).
14. Time of Granting Options. The date of grant of an Award shall, for all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Option, or such other date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination shall be given to each Service Provider to whom an Award is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.
15. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.
(a) Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.
(b) Stockholder Approval. Without approval of the Companys stockholders given within twelve (12) months before or after the action by the Administrator, no action of the Administrator may, except as provided in Section 13, (a) increase the limits imposed in Section 3(a) on the maximum number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan or the individual Award Limits imposed in Section 5(c), (b) reduce the price per share of any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan or take any action prohibited under Section 23, (c) cancel any Option or Stock Appreciation Right in exchange for cash or another Award in violation of Section 23, or (d) amend the Plan in any manner that requires stockholder approval under Applicable Laws.
(c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Holder, including any amendment effected pursuant to this amendment and restatement of the Plan, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Holder and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Holder and the Company. Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrators ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.
16. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.
(a) Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.
(b) Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Administrator may require the person exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.
19
(c) Consideration. The Administrator shall determine the methods by which payments by any Holder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan shall be made, including, without limitation: (i) cash, (ii) check, (iii) with the consent of the Administrator, a full recourse promissory note bearing interest (at no less than such rate as is a market rate of interest and which then precludes the imputation of interest under the Code) and payable upon such terms as may be prescribed by the Administrator, (iv) with the consent of the Administrator, other Shares which (A) in the case of Shares acquired from the Company, have been owned by the Holder for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the Companys earnings for financial reporting purposes, on the date of surrender, and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the payments required, (v) with the consent of the Administrator, in the case of payment of the exercise price of an Award, Shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Award, (vi) with the consent of the Administrator, delivery of a notice that the Holder has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to Shares then issuable upon exercise of the Awards 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 Award exercise price, provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of such sale, or (vii) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. In making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Administrator shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to benefit the Company. In the case of a promissory note, the Administrator may also prescribe the form of such note and the security to be given for such note. The Award may not be exercised, however, by delivery of a promissory note or by a loan from the Company when or where such loan or other extension of credit is prohibited by law, and payment in the manner prescribed by the preceding sentences shall not be permitted to the extent that the Administrator determines that payment in such manner may result in an extension or maintenance of credit, an arrangement for the extension of credit, or a renewal of an extension of credit in the form of a personal loan to or for any Director or executive officer of the Company that is prohibited by Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act or other Applicable Law.
(d) Tax Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to require payment in cash or deduction from other compensation payable to each Holder of any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of any Award or any other taxable event related to an Award. The Administrator may in its discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement allow such Holder to satisfy such obligations by any payment means described in Section 16(c) hereof, including, without limitation, by allowing such Holder to elect to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable under such Award (or allow the return of shares of Common Stock) having a fair market value equal to the sums required to be withheld. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock which may be so withheld or returned shall be limited to the number of shares which have a fair market value on the date of withholding or return no greater than the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax income and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income (or, to the extent provided by the Administrator, such higher withholding rate that is in no event greater than the maximum individual statutory tax rate in the applicable jurisdiction at the time of such withholding (or such other rate as may be required to avoid the liability classification of the applicable award under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America)); provided, however, to the extent such shares were acquired by the Holder from the Company as compensation, the
20
shares must have been held for the minimum period required by applicable accounting rules to avoid a charge to the Companys earnings for financial reporting purposes; provided, further, that any such shares withheld or returned shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock to the extent rounding up to the nearest whole share does not result in the liability classification of the applicable Award under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The Administrator shall determine the fair market value of the Shares, consistent with applicable provisions of the Code, for tax withholding obligations due in connection with a broker-assisted cashless Option or Stock Appreciation Right exercise involving the sale of Shares to pay the Option or Stock Appreciation Right exercise price or any tax withholding obligation.
17. Loans. The Administrator may, in its discretion, extend one or more loans to Service Providers in connection with the exercise or receipt of an Award granted or awarded under the Plan. The terms and conditions of any such loan shall be set by the Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no loan shall be made under this Section 17 to the extent such loan shall result in an extension or maintenance of credit, an arrangement for the extension of credit, or a renewal of an extension of credit in the form of a personal loan to or for any Director or executive officer of the Company that is prohibited by Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act or other Applicable Law. In the event that the Administrator determines in its discretion that any loan under this Section 17 may be or will become prohibited by Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act or other Applicable Law, the Administrator may provide that such loan shall be immediately due and payable in full and may take any other action in connection with such loan as the Administrator determines in its discretion to be necessary or appropriate for the repayment, cancellation or extinguishment of such loan.
18. Section 16. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Plan, and any Award granted or awarded to any individual who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.
19. Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Companys 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.
20. Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.
21. Stockholder Approval. This Plan shall be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is approved by the Board and the Effective Date of this Plan shall be the date of such stockholder approval. Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under Applicable Laws.
21
22. Forfeiture and Claw-Back Provisions. Pursuant to its general authority to determine the terms and conditions applicable to Awards under the Plan, the Administrator shall have the right to provide, in an Award Agreement or otherwise, or to require a Holder to agree by separate written or electronic instrument, that:
(a) (i) Any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by the Holder upon any receipt or exercise of the Award, or upon the receipt or resale of any Shares underlying the Award, shall be paid to the Company, and (ii) the Award shall terminate and any unexercised portion of the Award (whether or not vested) shall be forfeited, if (x) the Holder at any time, or during a specified time period, engages in any activity in competition with the Company, or which is inimical, contrary or harmful to the interests of the Company, as further defined by the Administrator or (y) the Holder incurs a termination of service for cause; and
(b) All Awards (including any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by the Holder upon any receipt or exercise of any Award or upon the receipt or resale of any Shares underlying the Award) shall be subject to the provisions of any claw-back policy implemented by the Company, including, without limitation, any claw-back policy adopted to comply with the requirements of Applicable Law, including without limitation, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, to the extent set forth in such claw-back policy and/or in the applicable Award Agreement.
23. Prohibition on Repricing. Subject to Section 13, the Administrator shall not, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, (a) authorize the amendment of any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right to reduce its price per share, or (b) cancel any Option or Stock Appreciation Right in exchange for cash or another Award when the Option or Stock Appreciation Right price per share exceeds the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares. Subject to Section 13, the Administrator shall have the authority, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, to amend any outstanding Award to increase the price per share or to cancel and replace an Award with the grant of an Award having a price per share that is greater than or equal to the price per share of the original Award. Furthermore, for purposes of this Section 23, except in connection with a corporate transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares), the terms of outstanding Awards may not be amended to reduce the exercise price per share of outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or cancel outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for cash, other Awards or Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with an exercise price per share that is less than the exercise price per share of the original Options or Stock Appreciation Rights without the approval of the stockholders of the Company.
22
24. Governing Law. The validity and enforceability of this Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to otherwise governing principles of conflicts of law.
25. Section 409A. To the extent that the Administrator determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, the Plan and Award 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 Effective Date. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the Effective Date the Administrator determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the Effective Date), the Administrator may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Administrator 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.

3. Eligibility.
(a) Any Eligible Employee who shall be employed by the Company or a Designated Subsidiary on a given Enrollment Date for an Offering Period shall be eligible to participate in the Plan during such Offering Period, subject to the requirements of Section 5 hereof.
(b) Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, an Eligible Employee may be granted rights under the Plan only if such rights, together with any other rights granted to such Eligible Employee under employee stock purchase plans of the Company, any Parent or any Subsidiary, as specified by Section 423(b) of the Code, do not permit such employees rights to purchase stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary to accrue at a rate which exceeds the limit set forth in Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
4. Offering Periods. Subject to Section 24, the Plan shall be implemented by consecutive, overlapping Offering Periods which shall continue until the Plan expires or is terminated in accordance with Section 20 hereof. The Administrator shall have the power to change the duration of Offering Periods (including the commencement dates thereof) with respect to future offerings without shareholder approval if such change is announced at least five (5) days prior to the scheduled beginning of the first Offering Period to be affected thereafter.
5. Participation.
(a) Except as set forth in Section 6(f) below, an Eligible Employee may become a participant in the Plan by completing a subscription agreement authorizing payroll deductions in the form approved by the Administrator and filing it with the Companys payroll office fifteen (15) days (or such shorter or longer period as may be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion) prior to the applicable Enrollment Date.
(b) Payroll deductions for a participant shall commence on the first payroll following the Enrollment Date and shall end on the last payroll in the Offering Period to which such authorization is applicable, unless sooner terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof.
(c) During a leave of absence approved by the Company or a Designated Subsidiary employing a participant, a participant may continue to participate in the Plan by making cash payments to the Company on each pay day equal to the amount of the participants payroll deductions under the Plan for the pay day immediately preceding the first day of such participants leave of absence. If a leave of absence is unapproved, the participant will cease automatically to participate in the Plan. In such event, the Company or a Designated Subsidiary will automatically cease to deduct the participants payroll under the Plan. The Company or a Designated Subsidiary will pay to the participant his or her total payroll deductions for the Purchase Period, in cash in one lump sum (without interest), as soon as practicable after the participant ceases to participate in the Plan.
(d) A participants completion of a subscription agreement will enroll such participant in the Plan for each successive Purchase Period and each subsequent Offering Period on the terms contained therein until the participant either submits a new subscription agreement, withdraws from participation under the Plan as provided in Section 10 hereof or otherwise becomes ineligible to participate in the Plan.

6. Payroll Deductions.
(a) At the time a participant files his or her subscription agreement, he or she shall elect to have payroll deductions made on each pay day during the Offering Period in an amount from one percent (1%) to one hundred percent (100%) of the Compensation which he or she receives on each pay day during the Offering Period, in no event to exceed the net amount of pay after taxes and authorized deductions have been taken out of his or her total compensation earned during each payroll period during each Offering Period.
(b) All payroll deductions made for a participant under Section 6(a) above shall be credited to his or her account under the Plan and shall be withheld in whole percentages only. Except as described in Section 5(c) or 6(f) hereof, a participant may not make any additional payments into such account.
(c) A participant may discontinue his or her participation in the Plan as provided in Section 10 hereof, or may increase or decrease the rate of his or her payroll deductions or suspend his or her payroll deductions during the Offering Period by completing or filing with the Company a new subscription agreement authorizing a change in payroll deduction rate. The Administrator may, in its discretion, limit the number of participation rate changes during any Offering Period. The change in rate shall be effective with the first full payroll period following five (5) business days after the Companys receipt of the new subscription agreement (or such shorter or longer period as may be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion).
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 3(b) hereof, a participants payroll deductions may be decreased to zero percent (0%) at any time during a Purchase Period.
(e) At the time the option is exercised, in whole or in part, or at the time some or all of the Companys Common Stock issued under the Plan is disposed of, the participant must make adequate provision for the Companys federal, state, or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon the exercise of the option or the disposition of the Common Stock. At any time, the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, withhold from the participants compensation the amount necessary for the Company to meet applicable withholding obligations, including any withholding required to make available to the Company any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of Common Stock by the Employee.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, in non-U.S. jurisdictions where participation in the Plan through payroll deductions is prohibited, the Administrator may provide that an Eligible Employee may elect to participate through contributions to his or her account under the Plan in a form acceptable to the Administrator in lieu of or in addition to payroll deductions.

7. Grant of Option. On the Enrollment Date of each Offering Period, each Eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be granted an option to purchase on each Exercise Date during such Offering Period (at the applicable Purchase Price) up to a number of shares of the Companys Common Stock determined by dividing the balance in such participants Plan account as of the Exercise Date by the applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that in no event shall a participant be permitted to purchase during each Offering Period more than 8,000 shares of the Companys Common Stock (subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 19) and during each Purchase Period more than 2,000 shares of the Companys Common Stock (subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 19); and provided, further, that such purchase shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 3(b) and 13 hereof. The Administrator may, for future Offering Periods, increase or decrease, in its absolute discretion, the maximum number of shares of the Companys Common Stock a participant may purchase during each Purchase Period and Offering Period. Exercise of the option shall occur as provided in Section 8 hereof, unless the participant has withdrawn pursuant to Section 10 hereof or otherwise becomes ineligible to participate in the Plan. The option shall expire on the last day of the Offering Period.
8. Exercise of Option.
(a) Unless a participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in Section 10 hereof or otherwise becomes ineligible to participate in the Plan, his or her option for the purchase of shares shall be exercised automatically on the Exercise Date, and the maximum number of full shares subject to the option shall be purchased for such participant at the applicable Purchase Price with the balance in such participants Plan account. No fractional shares shall be purchased; any balance in such participants Plan account which is not sufficient to purchase a full share shall be retained in the participants account for the subsequent Purchase Period or Offering Period. Any additional balance of the amount credited to the account of each participant which has not been applied to the purchase of shares of stock shall be paid to such participant in one lump sum in cash as soon as reasonably practicable after the Exercise Date, without any interest thereon. During a participants lifetime, a participants option to purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her.
(b) If the Administrator determines that, on a given Exercise Date, the number of shares with respect to which options are to be exercised may exceed (i) the number of shares of Common Stock that were available for sale under the Plan on the Enrollment Date of the applicable Offering Period, or (ii) the number of shares available for sale under the Plan on such Exercise Date, the Administrator may in its sole discretion (x) provide that the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock available for purchase on such Enrollment Date or Exercise Date, as applicable, in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine in its sole discretion to be equitable among all participants exercising options to purchase Common Stock on such Exercise Date, and continue all Offering Periods then in effect, or (y) provide that the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares available for purchase on such Enrollment Date or Exercise Date, as applicable, in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine in its sole discretion to be equitable among all participants exercising options to purchase Common Stock on such Exercise Date, and terminate any or all Offering Periods then in effect pursuant to Section 20 hereof. The Company may make pro rata allocation of the shares available on the Enrollment Date of any applicable
6
Offering Period pursuant to the preceding sentence, notwithstanding any authorization of additional shares for issuance under the Plan by the Companys stockholders subsequent to such Enrollment Date. The balance of the amount credited to the account of each participant which has not been applied to the purchase of shares of stock because of the limitations set forth in Section 3(b), Section 7 or this Section 8(b) shall be paid to such participant in one lump sum in cash as soon as reasonably practicable after the Exercise Date, without any interest thereon.
9. Deposit of Shares. As promptly as practicable after each Exercise Date on which a purchase of shares occurs, the Company may arrange for the deposit, into each participants account with any broker designated by the Company to administer this Plan, of the number of shares purchased upon exercise of his or her option.
10. Withdrawal.
(a) A participant may withdraw all but not less than all of the balance in such participants Plan account and not yet used to exercise his or her option under the Plan at any time by giving written notice to the Company in a form acceptable to the Administrator. All amounts credited to a participants Plan account during the Offering Period shall be paid to such participant as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of notice of withdrawal and such participants option for the Offering Period shall be automatically terminated, and no further payroll deductions or contributions for the purchase of shares shall be made for such Offering Period. If a participant withdraws from an Offering Period, participation in the Plan shall not resume at the beginning of the succeeding Offering Period unless the participant delivers to the Company a new subscription agreement.
(b) A participants withdrawal from an Offering Period shall not have any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in any similar plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Company or in succeeding Offering Periods which commence after the termination of the Offering Period from which the participant withdraws.
(c) Upon a Designated Subsidiary ceasing to be such, an Eligible Employee of the Designated Subsidiary shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan and the amounts credited to such participants account during the Offering Period shall be paid to such participant, or in the case of his or her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section 15 hereof, as soon as reasonably practicable and such participants option for the Offering Period shall be automatically terminated.
11. Termination of Employment. Upon a participants ceasing to be an Eligible Employee, for any reason, he or she shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan and the balance in such participants Plan account shall be paid to such participant or, in the case of his or her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section 15 hereof, as soon as reasonably practicable and such participants option for the Offering Period shall be automatically terminated.
12. Interest. No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions or lump sum contributions of a participant in the Plan.
7
13. Shares Subject to Plan.
(a) Subject to adjustment upon changes in capitalization of the Company as provided in Section 19 hereof, the maximum number of shares of the Companys Common Stock which shall be made available for sale under the Plan shall be 2,000,000 shares. If any right granted under the Plan shall for any reason terminate without having been exercised, the Common Stock not purchased under such right shall again become available for issuance under the Plan. The stock subject to the Plan may be unissued shares or reacquired shares, bought on the market or otherwise.
(b) With respect to shares of stock subject to an option granted under the Plan, a participant shall not be deemed to be a stockholder of the Company, and the participant shall not have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder, until such shares have been issued to the participant or his or her nominee following exercise of the participants option. No adjustments shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distribution or other rights for which the record date occurs prior to the date of such issuance, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.
14. Administration.
(a) The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board, and the term Committee shall apply to such committee. The Committee shall have, in connection with the administration of the Plan, the power to delegate to a subcommittee any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise, and the term Committee shall apply to either the Compensation Committee of the Board or any such subcommittee. References in this Plan to the Administrator shall mean the Compensation Committee of the Board unless administration is delegated to a subcommittee, in which case references in this Plan to the Administrator shall thereafter be to the Compensation Committee or subcommittee.
(b) It shall be the duty of the Administrator to conduct the general administration of the Plan in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The Administrator shall have the power to interpret the Plan and the terms of the options and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation, and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules. The Administrator at its option may utilize the services of an agent to assist in the administration of the Plan including establishing and maintaining an individual securities account under the Plan for each participant. In its absolute discretion, the Board may at any time and from time to time exercise any and all rights and duties of the Administrator under the Plan.
(c) The Administrator may adopt sub-plans applicable to particular Designated Subsidiaries or locations. The rules of such sub-plans may take precedence over other provisions of this Plan, with the exception of Sections 13, 20 and 23 hereof, but unless otherwise superseded by the terms of such sub-plan, the provisions of this Plan shall govern the operation of such sub-plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding the exclusion of particular Subsidiaries from participation in the Plan, eligibility to participate, the definition of Compensation, handling of payroll deductions or other contributions by participants, payment of
8
interest, conversion of local currency, data privacy security, payroll tax, withholding procedures, establishment of bank or trust accounts to hold payroll deductions or contributions, determination of beneficiary designation requirements, and handling of stock certificates. The Administrator shall not be required to obtain the approval of the stockholders of the Company prior to the adoption, amendment or termination of any such sub-plan, rules or procedures.
(d) All expenses and liabilities incurred by the Administrator in connection with the administration of the Plan shall be borne by the Company or its Designated Subsidiaries. The Administrator may, with the approval of the Board, employ attorneys, consultants, accountants, appraisers, brokers or other persons. The Administrator, the Company and its officers and directors shall be entitled to rely upon the advice, opinions or valuations of any such persons. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith shall be final and binding upon all participants, the Company, each Designated Subsidiary and all other interested persons. No member of the Board shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or the options, and all members of the Board shall be fully protected by the Company in respect to any such action, determination, or interpretation.
15. Designation of Beneficiary.
(a) A participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any shares and cash, if any, from the participants account under the Plan in the event of such participants death subsequent to an Exercise Date on which the option is exercised but prior to delivery to such participant of such shares and cash. In addition, a participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the participants account under the Plan in the event of such participants death prior to exercise of the option. If a participant is married and the designated beneficiary is not the spouse, spousal consent shall be required for such designation to be effective.
(b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the participant at any time by written notice to the Company. In the event of the death of a participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such participants death, the Company shall deliver such shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate.
16. Transferability. Neither amounts credited to a participants account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or as provided in Section 15 hereof) by the participant. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw funds from an Offering Period in accordance with Section 10 hereof.
9
17. Use of Funds. All amounts received or held by the Company under the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such amounts, except for funds contributed in which the local law of a non-U.S. jurisdiction requires that contributions to the Plan by participants be segregated from the Companys general corporate funds and/or deposited with an independent third party for participants in non-U.S. jurisdictions.
18. Reports. Individual accounts shall be maintained for each participant in the Plan. Statements of account shall be given to participating Employees at least annually, which statements shall set forth the amounts of payroll deductions or contributions, the Purchase Price, the number of shares purchased and the remaining cash balance, if any.
19. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Liquidation, Merger or Asset Sale.
(a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but not yet placed under option, the maximum number of shares each participant may purchase each Purchase Period (pursuant to Section 7), as well as the price per share and the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each option under the Plan which has not yet been exercised 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 or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been effected without receipt of consideration. Such adjustment shall be made by the Administrator, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an option.
(b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period then in progress shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the New Exercise Date), and shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed dissolution or liquidation, unless provided otherwise by the Administrator. The New Exercise Date shall be before the date of the Companys proposed dissolution or liquidation. The Administrator shall notify each participant in writing, at least ten (10) business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the participants option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the participants option shall be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 10 hereof.
(c) Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger of the Company with or into another corporation, each outstanding option shall be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor
10
corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the option, any Purchase Periods then in progress shall be shortened by setting a New Exercise Date and any Offering Periods then in progress shall end on the New Exercise Date. The New Exercise Date shall be before the date of the Companys proposed sale or merger. The Administrator shall notify each participant in writing, at least ten (10) business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the participants option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the participants option shall be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 10 hereof.
20. Amendment or Termination.
(a) The Board may at any time and for any reason terminate or amend the Plan. Except as provided in Section 19 hereof, no such termination can affect options previously granted, provided that an Offering Period may be terminated by the Board if the Board determines that the termination of the Offering Period or the Plan is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Except as provided in Section 19 and this Section 20 hereof, no amendment may make any change in any option theretofore granted which adversely affects the rights of any participant without the consent of such participant. To the extent necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule, the Company shall obtain stockholder approval of the Plan in such a manner and to such a degree as required.
(b) Without stockholder consent and without regard to whether any participant rights may be considered to have been adversely affected, the Administrator shall be entitled to change the Offering Periods, limit the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld during an Offering Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars (USD), permit payroll withholding in excess of the amount designated by a participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in the Companys or a Designated Subsidiarys processing of properly completed withholding elections, establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common Stock for each participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the participants Compensation, and establish such other limitations or procedures as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion advisable which are consistent with the Plan.
(c) In the event the Board determines that the ongoing operation of the Plan may result in unfavorable financial accounting consequences, the Board may, in its discretion and, to the extent necessary or desirable, modify or amend the Plan to reduce or eliminate such accounting consequence including, but not limited to:
(i) altering the Purchase Price for any Offering Period including an Offering Period underway at the time of the change in Purchase Price;
(ii) shortening any Offering Period so that the Offering Period ends on a new Exercise Date, including an Offering Period underway at the time of the Administrator action; and
(iii) allocating shares.
11
Such modifications or amendments shall not require stockholder approval or the consent of any Plan participants.
21. Notices. All notices or other communications by a participant to the Company or a Designated Subsidiary under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form specified by the Company or such Designated Subsidiary at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company or such Designated Subsidiary for the receipt thereof.
22. Conditions To Issuance of Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of options prior to fulfillment of all the following conditions:
(a) The admission of such shares to listing on all stock exchanges, if any, on which is then listed;
(b) The completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares under any state or federal law or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental regulatory body, which the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable;
(c) The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency which the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable;
(d) The payment to the Company or a Designated Subsidiary of all amounts which it is required to withhold under federal, state or local law upon exercise of the option; and
(e) The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the option as the Administrator may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience.
23. Term of Plan. Subject to stockholder approval, as provided in the following sentence, this Plan shall be effective on May 29, 2020 (the Effective Date). This Plan shall be submitted for the approval of the Companys stockholders within twelve (12) months after the Effective Date. The Plan shall be in effect until terminated under Section 20 hereof. No options granted under this Plan shall be exercised, and no shares of Common Stock shall be issued hereunder, until this Plan shall have been approved by the stockholders of the Company. In the event this Plan shall not have been approved by the stockholders of the Company prior to the end of said 12-month period, all options granted under this Plan shall be canceled and become null and void without being exercised. The Plan shall be in effect until terminated under Section 20 hereof.
24. Automatic Transfer to Low Price Offering Period. To the extent permitted by any applicable laws, regulations, or stock exchange rules, if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on any Exercise Date in an Offering Period is lower than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Enrollment Date of such Offering Period, then (i) a new twenty-four (24) month Offering Period will automatically begin on the first trading day following that Exercise Date, and (ii) all participants in such Offering Period shall be automatically withdrawn from such Offering Period immediately after the exercise of their option on such Exercise Date and automatically re-enrolled in the immediately following Offering Period as of the first day thereof.
12

(d) the rights or opportunity granted to an Eligible Employee on the making of an award shall not give the Eligible Employee any rights or additional rights and if an Eligible Employee ceases to be employed by the Company Group, the Eligible Employee shall not be entitled to compensation for the loss of any right or benefit or prospective right or benefit under the Plan (including, in particular but not by way of limitation, any awards held by him or her which lapse by reason of his or her ceasing to be employed by the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary) whether by way of damages for unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal, breach of contract or otherwise;
(e) the rights or opportunity granted to an Eligible Employee on the making of an award shall not give the Eligible Employee any rights or additional rights in respect of any pension scheme operated by the Company Group;
(f) the Eligible Employee shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages for any loss or potential loss which he may suffer by reason of being unable to acquire or retain shares of Common Stock, or any interest in shares of Common Stock pursuant to an award in consequence of the loss or termination of his or her office or employment with the Company or any present or past Parent or Subsidiary for any reason whatsoever (whether or not the termination is ultimately held to be wrongful or unfair);
(g) the value of the awards under the Plan are outside the scope of an Eligible Employees employment contract, if any;
(h) the value of the awards under the Plan are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments;
(i) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises if the awards under the Plan or the Common Stock issued pursuant to the Plan do not increase in value and each Eligible Employee irrevocably releases the Company Group, their affiliates and third-party vendors from any such claim that does arise; and
13
(j) by accepting the grant of an award and not renouncing it, the Eligible Employee is deemed to have agreed to the provisions of this Section 25.
26. Data Protection. It shall be a term and condition of each award under the Plan that an Eligible Employee explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of an Eligible Employees personal Data (as defined below) by and among, as applicable, the Company Group for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Eligible Employees participation in the Plan. The Company Group holds certain personal information about the Eligible Employee, including, but not limited to, the Eligible Employees name, home address and telephone number, e-mail address, date of birth, employee identification number, NRIC or passport number or equivalent, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all options or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Eligible Employees favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (Data).

The Eligible Employee may request a list with the names and addresses of all recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. The Company Group 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 purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Eligible Employees participation in the Plan. Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Eligible Employees participation in the Plan. The Company may also make the Data available to public authorities where required under locally applicable law. The Eligible Employee may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Eligible Employees local human resources representative. The Eligible Employees refusal to provide consent or withdrawal of consent may affect the Eligible Employees ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, an Eligible Employee may contact his or her U.S. human resources representative. This Section applies to information held, used or disclosed in any medium.
27. Notice of Disposition of Shares. Each participant shall give prompt notice to the Company of any disposition or other transfer of any shares of stock purchased upon exercise of an option if such disposition or transfer is made: (a) within two (2) years from the Enrollment Date of the Offering Period in which the shares were purchased or (b) within one (1) year after the Exercise Date on which such shares were purchased. Such notice shall specify the date of such disposition or other transfer and the amount realized, in cash, other property, assumption of indebtedness or other consideration, by the participant in such disposition or other transfer.

28. Structure of the Plan.
(a) This Plan document is an omnibus document which includes the primary Plan document (the Statutory Plan) designed to permit offerings of grants to employees of the Company and any subsidiary of the Company where such offerings are intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 423 of the Code (although the Company makes no undertaking nor representation to obtain or maintain qualification under Section 423 for any subsidiary, individual, offering or grant) and also a separate international plan (the Non-Statutory Plan) which permits offerings of grants to employees of certain Non-U.S. subsidiaries that are not intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 423 of the Code.
(b) The Statutory Plan shall be a separate and independent plan from the Non-Statutory Plan, provided, however, that the total number of shares authorized to be issued under the Plan applies in the aggregate to both the Statutory Plan and the Non-Statutory Plan. Offerings under the Non-Statutory Plan may be made to achieve desired tax or other objectives in particular locations outside the United States or to comply with local laws applicable to offerings in such foreign jurisdictions.
(c) The terms of the Statutory Plan shall be those set forth in this Plan document to the extent such terms are consistent with the requirements for qualification under Section 423 of the Code. The Board may adopt a Non-Statutory Plan applicable to particular subsidiaries, which shall be designed to achieve tax, securities law or other Company compliance objectives in particular locations outside the United States. The terms of a Non-Statutory Plan may take precedence over other provisions in this document, with the exception of Section 13(a) of the Plan with respect to the total number of shares available to be offered under the Plan. Unless otherwise superseded by the terms of such Non-Statutory Plan, the provisions of this Plan document shall govern the operation of such Non-Statutory Plan. Except to the extent expressly set forth herein or where the context suggests otherwise, any reference herein to Plan shall be construed to include a reference to the Statutory Plan and the Non-Statutory Plan.
29. Governing law and Jurisdiction. The validity and enforceability of this Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to otherwise governing principles of conflicts of law. The courts of the State of California shall have jurisdiction to settle any dispute which may arise out of, or in connection with, the Plan. The jurisdiction agreement contained in this Section 29 is made for the benefit of the Company and its Designated Subsidiaries only, which accordingly retain the right to bring proceedings in any other court of competent jurisdiction. By completing a subscription agreement, a participant is deemed to have agreed to submit to such jurisdiction.

(ii) withholding the issue, allotment or transfer to the Eligible Employee of that number of shares (otherwise to be acquired by the Eligible Employee on the exercise of the option) whose aggregate market value on date of exercise is, so far as possible, equal to, but not less than, the amount of Tax Liability (together with the fees and expenses incurred in the sale of the shares, where the company intends to sell the shares to meet the Tax Liability);
16
(iii) withholding the issue, allotment or transfer to the Eligible Employee of the shares otherwise to be acquired by the Eligible Employee pursuant to the option until the employee has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Company or the Employer that he has given irrevocable instructions to a third party (for example, a broker) satisfactory to the Company or the Employer to sell sufficient of those shares to ensure the net proceeds are, so far as possible, equal to, but not less than, the amount of the tax liability; or

The Plan and this Sub-Plan are complementary to each other and shall be deemed as one.

2. Language Consent. If an Eligible Employee is a resident of Quebec, the following provision will apply to the Eligible Employee:
The parties acknowledge that it is their express wish that the Plan, as well as all documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant hereto or relating directly or indirectly hereto, be drawn up in English.
Consentement relatif à la langue utilisée. Les parties reconnaissent avoir exigé la rédaction en anglais de cette convention, ainsi que de tous documents, avis et procédures judiciaires, exécutés, donnés ou intentés en vertu de, ou liés directement ou indirectement à, la présente convention.
3. Termination of Employment. The following provision replaces Section 11 of the Plan:
In the event of termination of an Eligible Employees employment, the Eligible Employees right to purchase shares under the Plan, if any, will terminate, and he or she shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan, effective as of the date that is the earlier of (i) the date on which the Eligible Employee receives a notice of termination of employment from the Company or the Employer, or (ii) the date on which the Eligible Employee is no longer employed, regardless of any notice period or period of pay in lieu of such notice required under local law. The Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Eligible Employee is no longer employed for purposes of the Plan. The payroll deductions credited to such participants account during the Offering Period shall be paid to such participant or, in the case of his or her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section 15 hereof, as soon as reasonably practicable and such participants option for the Offering Period shall be automatically terminated on the effective date described in the previous sentence.
18
4. Data Protection. In addition to the provisions of Section 26 of the Plan, each Eligible Employee hereby authorizes the Company and the Companys representatives to discuss with and obtain all relevant information from all personnel, professional or not, involved in the administration and operation of the Plan. Each Eligible Employee further authorizes the Company Group, the Employer and the administrator of the Plan to disclose and discuss the Plan with their advisors. Each Eligible Employee further authorizes the Company Group, the Employer and the Administrator to record such information and to keep such information in the Eligible Employees employee file.
5. Notifications.
(a) Securities Law Information. Each Eligible Employee understands that the Eligible Employee is permitted to sell shares acquired pursuant to the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any, provided the sale of the shares acquired pursuant to the Plan takes place outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the shares are listed.
(b) Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. If a participant is a Canadian resident, such participant may be required to report his or her foreign property on form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the foreign property exceeds a certain threshold at any time in the year. Foreign property includes shares acquired under the Plan. The shares must be reportedgenerally at a nil costif the cost threshold is exceeded because of other foreign property the participant holds. If shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (ACB) of the shares. The ACB ordinarily would equal the fair market value of the shares at the time of acquisition, but if a participant owns other shares, this ACB may have to be leveraged with the ACB of the other shares. The form T1135 generally must be filed by April 30 of the following year. A participant should consult with his or her personal advisor to ensure compliance with the applicable reporting requirements.
6. Tax Consequences. The following provision supplements Section 6(e) of the Plan:
Regardless of any action the Company or the Employer takes with respect to any or all income tax (including foreign, federal, state and local tax), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to a participants participation in the Plan and legally applicable to a participant (Withholding Taxes), the ultimate liability for all Withholding Taxes legally due by a participant is and remains such participants responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or the Employer. Neither the Company and/or the Employer (i) make any representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Withholding Taxes in connection with any aspect of the option, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the option, the issuance of shares upon exercise, the subsequent sale of shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of the option 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 a participants liability for Withholding Taxes or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if a participant has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Withholding Taxes in more than one jurisdiction. Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event (Tax Date), as applicable, a participant will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the
19
Employer to satisfy all Withholding Taxes. In this regard, the Company and/or the Employer or their respective agents are authorized, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Withholding Taxes by one or a combination of the following: (A) accept a cash payment in USD in the amount of Withholding Taxes, (B) withhold whole shares which would otherwise be delivered to a participant having an aggregate fair market value, determined as of the Tax Date, or withhold an amount of cash from the participants wages or other cash compensation which would otherwise be payable to the participant by the Company and/or the participants employer, equal to the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligations, (C) withhold from proceeds of the sale of shares acquired upon exercise of the option either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the participants behalf pursuant to this authorization), or (D) a cash payment to the Company by a broker-dealer acceptable to the Company to whom a participant has submitted an irrevocable notice of exercise. To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Withholding Taxes by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates. If the obligation for Withholding Taxes is satisfied by withholding in shares, for tax purposes, a participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares subject to the option, notwithstanding that a number of shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Withholding Taxes. Finally, a participant shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Withholding Taxes that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of the participants participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company shall have sole discretion to deliver the shares if an Eligible Employee fails to comply with such participants obligations in connection with the Withholding Taxes as described in this section and each participant unconditionally consent to and approve any such action taken by the Company. A participant (or any beneficiary or person entitled to act on a participants behalf) shall provide the Company with any forms, documents or other information reasonably required by the Company.
7. Governing Law. The validity and enforceability of this Sub-Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to otherwise governing principles of conflicts of law, except to the extent that mandatory provisions of the laws of Canada apply.

The participant may, at any time, review Data, require any necessary amendments to it or withdraw the consent herein in writing by contacting the Company through its local Human Resources Director; however, withdrawing the consent may affect the participants ability to participate in the Plan.

(ii) withholding the issue, allotment or transfer to the Eligible Employee of that number of shares (otherwise to be acquired by the Eligible Employee on the exercise of the option) whose aggregate market value on date of exercise is, so far as possible, equal to, but not less than, the amount of Tax Liability (together with the fees and expenses incurred in the sale of the shares, where the company intends to sell the shares to meet the Tax Liability);
44
(iii) withholding the issue, allotment or transfer to the Eligible Employee of the shares otherwise to be acquired by the Eligible Employee pursuant to the option until the employee has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Company Group or the Employer that he has given irrevocable instructions to a third party (for example a broker) satisfactory to the Company Group or the Employer to sell sufficient of those shares to ensure the net proceeds are, so far as possible, equal to, but not less than, the amount of the tax liability; or
(iv) where the tax liability arises as a result of a release or assignment by the Eligible Employee of the option, a deduction from the payment made to him as consideration for such release or assignment.
(d) Paragraph (c) will not apply where the Eligible Employee has, before the allotment, issuance or transfer of the shares to be issued or transferred to the Eligible Employee as a result of the exercise of the option, paid to the Company Group or the Employer, in cleared funds a sum equal to the Tax Liability arising on the exercise of the option.
3. Governing Law. The validity and enforceability of this Sub-Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to otherwise governing principles of conflicts of law, except to the extent that mandatory provisions of UK law apply.

We have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records of the Company and such agreements, certificates and receipts of public officials, certificates of officers or other representatives of the Company and others, and such other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinion set forth herein.
In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, including electronic signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as facsimile, electronic, certified, conformed or photocopies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.

As to any facts relevant to the opinion stated herein that we did not independently establish or verify, we have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others and of public officials, including those in the GCs Certificate.
In rendering the opinion stated herein, we have also assumed that: (i) an appropriate account statement rendering the Plan Shares credited to a recipients account maintained with the Companys transfer agent has been issued by the Companys transfer agent; (ii) the issuance of the Plan Shares has been properly recorded in the books and records of the Company; (iii) each award agreement pursuant to which rights to acquire Common Stock or other awards are granted pursuant to the Plans will be consistent with the Plans and will be duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto; (iv) the consideration received by the Company for each of the Plan Shares delivered pursuant to the Plans shall not be less than the per share par value of the Plan Shares; and (v) the issuance of the Plan Shares does not violate or conflict with any agreement or instrument binding on the Company (except that we do not make this assumption with respect to the A&R Certificate or A&R Bylaws).
