term of such ISO may not exceed five years and the Exercise Price may be not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the ISO&#146;s Grant Date. To the extent an Option purports to be an ISO but exceeds these limits, the Option

employment or other service relationship with a Related Entity constitutes employment or other service relationship with the Company. In particular, the provisions of Section&nbsp;9, below, shall apply by using the terms &#147;Company&#148; and
&#147;Related Entity&#148; interchangeably. A transfer between the Company and one or more Related Entities will not constitute a termination of employment or other service relationship with the Company (provided that pursuant to Section&nbsp;9.5, a
change in status from an employee to a non-employee worker will constitute a termination of employment for federal tax purposes with respect to ISOs). </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>SECTION 9. <U>Termination of Relationship with Company</U>.</B> Except as provided otherwise in the applicable Option Agreement, all
Options that are unvested automatically expire upon termination of an Optionee&#146;s employment or other service relationship with the Company for any reason. And except as provided otherwise in the applicable Option Agreement, the effect of a
termination of employment or other service relationship upon vested Options is as follows: </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>9.1 Termination For Cause. </B>
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:13%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>9.1.1 Effect Upon Options.</B> If the Company terminates an Optionee&#146;s employment or other service relationship for
Cause, then, as of the Company&#146;s first discovery of any of the grounds for termination for Cause, any Option held by that Optionee shall automatically terminate. If an Optionee is suspended pending an investigation of whether or not the
Optionee will be terminated for Cause, then all of the Optionee&#146;s rights under any Option will also be suspended during the period of investigation. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:13%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>9.1.2 Definition of Cause.</B> Termination for &#147;Cause&#148; means the Optionee&#146;s (a)&nbsp;willful refusal to perform his
obligations to the Company, (b)&nbsp;willful misconduct contrary to the interests of the Company, (c)&nbsp;commission of a serious criminal act whether denominated a felony, misdemeanor or otherwise, or (d)&nbsp;engaging in activities directly in
competition or antithetical to the best interests of the Company. To the extent an Optionee is a party to an employment agreement or offer letter of employment with the Company that defines &#147;cause&#148; or a similar term, then the meaning set
forth in that agreement shall also be considered &#147;Cause&#148; for purposes of this Plan. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>9.2 Termination Because of Total Disability.</B> If an Optionee&#146;s employment or
other service relationship with the Company terminates because of a &#147;Total Disability,&#148; as defined below, then the Optionee&#146;s vested Options (determined as of the termination) shall not expire (and any ISOs will not cease to be
treated as ISOs) until the sooner of (i)&nbsp;the end of the 12-month period following such termination or (ii)&nbsp;the normal expiration date of the Option. For purposes of this Plan, Total Disability means a mental or physical impairment that
(a)&nbsp;causes an individual to be unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity, after reasonable accommodation, and (b)&nbsp;is expected to result in death or has lasted or is expected to last for a continuous period of 12 months or more.
The status of Total Disability will be determined by the Administrator and, if requested by the affected Optionee, two independent physicians, and shall be deemed to exist on the first day after the Administrator (and the two independent physicians,
if applicable) reach the conclusion. The application of this Section&nbsp;9.2 will not accelerate the vesting of Options. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>9.3 Termination Because of, or Shortly Before, Death.</B> If an Optionee dies (a)&nbsp;while still engaged in a service relationship
with the Company or (b)&nbsp;within the 60-day period (or 12-month period in the case of Total Disability) following cessation of such relationship, then any vested Options may be exercised at any time prior to (i)&nbsp;the end of the 12-month
period following the death or (ii)&nbsp;the regular expiration date applicable to the Option, whichever is earlier. The application of this Section&nbsp;9.3 will not accelerate the vesting of Options. The vested portion of the Option (determined as
of the Optionee&#146;s date of death) may be exercised by the personal representative or the person to whom the Optionee&#146;s rights pass by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>9.4 Other Terminations.</B> If an Optionee&#146;s relationship with the Company terminates for a reason other than Cause, death, or
Total Disability, the Optionee may exercise outstanding Options until the earlier of (a)&nbsp;the end of the 60-day period following termination of an Optionee&#146;s employment or other service relationship with the Company, or (b)&nbsp;the
expiration date stated in the Option Agreement, after which all unexercised Options will expire. However, the Administrator may extend the exercise period, in its the sole discretion, provided that ISOs exercised beyond the three-month period
following termination of an Optionee&#146;s employment with the Company will be treated as NQSOs. Unless provided otherwise in an individual Option Agreement, an Optionee&#146;s change in status from being an employee to a non-employee worker (such
as a consultant) will not constitute a termination of the Optionee&#146;s employment with the Company for purposes of applying the provisions of this Section&nbsp;9.4 to any ISOs held by the Optionee, provided that the Optionee&#146;s exercise of
any ISO beyond the three-month period following the change of the Optionee&#146;s status from being an employee to a non-employee worker will be treated as the exercise of a NQSO. </FONT></P>

employment or other working relationship with the Company may be deemed to continue while the Optionee is on military leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence. However, with respect to ISOs, employment will not be deemed to continue
beyond the first 90 days of leave, unless the individual&#146;s reemployment rights are guaranteed by statute or by contract. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

dividend or other event causing a capital adjustment affecting the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (&#147;Capitalization Change&#148;), the Administrator will make corresponding adjustments to preserve the relative value of Options. To
that end the Administrator will make adjustments, as necessary, in: (a)&nbsp;the aggregate number or kind of shares for which Options may be granted under this Plan; (b)&nbsp;the number or kind of shares covered by any outstanding Options under this
Plan; and (c)&nbsp;other terms of this Plan or outstanding Options that merit a change in conjunction with the Capitalization Change. Any fractional shares resulting from an adjustment will be disregarded. In the event the Company issues additional
shares of Common Stock for consideration (including non-cash consideration), neither the total amount of shares subject to this Plan, nor the amount of shares subject to any outstanding Option, will be adjusted. The Administrator&#146;s
determination as to what adjustments should be made and the extent of the adjustments will be final, binding and conclusive. </FONT></P>

any unexercised Options will expire and cease to be effective, provided that Optionees will have advance notice and an opportunity prior to the Sales Event to exercise any vested Options. In the alternative, at the complete discretion of the
Administrator, the Company may (at its discretion) (i)&nbsp;determine to cash out some or all of the unexercised, vested Options by paying each affected Optionee an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock (as determined for
purposes of the Sales Event), multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock available under the vested portion of the Optionee&#146;s Option, reduced by the aggregate Exercise Price associated with that portion of the Option, or
(ii)&nbsp;continue some or all of the Options, subject to the same terms and conditions (including the vesting schedule, if any) that applied prior to the Sales Event, modified as deemed appropriate by the Administrator in conjunction with the Sales
Event. For purposes of this Plan a &#147;Sales Event&#148; will include (a)&nbsp;a complete liquidation of the Company, (b)&nbsp;a sale of the Company&#146;s stock after which voting control of the Company is held by persons who were not
shareholders of the Company prior to the sale or a sale of substantially all of the Company&#146;s assets, or (c)&nbsp;a merger, consolidation, reorganization or other similar event (other than an initial public offering) in which the Company is not
the surviving entity. Unless provided otherwise in the applicable Option Agreements, or pursuant to an action of the Board, the vesting schedules applicable to outstanding Options will not accelerate in connection with a Sales Event. </FONT></P>

converted into options to purchase shares of Exchange Stock. The number of shares and exercise price of options for Exchange Stock will be determined by adjusting the number of shares and Exercise Price of the unexercised Options in the same
proportion as used for determining the number of shares of Exchange Stock that the shareholders of Common Stock receive in the transaction. Other than the potential changes to the Exercise Price and number of shares of the outstanding Options, all
of the terms and conditions relating to the converted Options under this Plan shall apply to options for the Exchange Stock, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator. </FONT></P>

electronically that the Option shall be fully vested and exercisable for a period of fifteen (15)&nbsp;days from the date of such notice, and the Option shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of this paragraph, the
Option shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or sale of assets, the option or right confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share of Optioned Stock, immediately prior to the merger or sale of assets, the consideration
(whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or sale of assets 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
of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the merger or sale of assets 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 of the Option, for each Share of Optioned Stock to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent
equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or sale of assets. </FONT></P>
