Introductory Note

Completion of Redomiciliation

On August 7, 2026, as part of the previously announced plan to restructure the Wave Life Sciences group of companies to cause a Delaware corporation to be the parent company of the group (the “Redomiciliation”). Wave Life Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Wave-Delaware”), became the ultimate parent company of the Wave Life Sciences group of companies pursuant to a statutory procedure known as a scheme of arrangement under the Companies Act 1967 of Singapore (the “Scheme of Arrangement”). Pursuant to the Scheme of Arrangement, all issued ordinary shares in the capital of Wave Life Sciences Ltd., a public company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Singapore (“Wave-Singapore”) as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Scheme of Arrangement (the “Effective Time”) were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for newly issued shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Wave-Delaware (“Wave-Delaware Common Stock”), and Wave-Singapore became a wholly owned subsidiary of Wave-Delaware.

The issuance of shares of Wave-Delaware Common Stock pursuant to the Scheme of Arrangement was exempt from registration under Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Please refer to the definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) on Schedule 14A of Wave-Singapore filed on May 7, 2026 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for additional information about the Redomiciliation.

Prior to the Redomiciliation, Wave-Singapore’s ordinary shares were registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and listed on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”). In connection with the completion of the Redomiciliation, Wave-Singapore’s ordinary shares will be suspended from trading on and delisted from Nasdaq prior to the start of trading on August 10, 2026. Wave-Singapore expects to file a Form 15 with the SEC to terminate the registration under the Exchange Act of Wave-Singapore ordinary shares and suspend all of its reporting obligations under Sections 12(g) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act on the date hereof.

Pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Exchange Act, Wave-Delaware is the successor issuer to Wave-Singapore, Wave-Delaware Common Stock is deemed to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and Wave-Delaware is subject to the periodic and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Wave-Delaware hereby reports this succession in accordance with Rule 12g-3(f) under the Exchange Act. Wave-Delaware Common Stock will begin trading on Nasdaq at the start of trading on August 10, 2026 and will trade under the symbol “WVE,” which is the same symbol under which Wave-Singapore ordinary shares previously traded. The CUSIP number for Wave-Delaware Common Stock is 94352A104.

Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Indemnification and Advancement Agreements

Effective upon the consummation of the Redomiciliation, Wave-Delaware entered into indemnification agreements (the “Indemnification Agreements”) with each of Wave-Delaware’s directors and executive officers. The Indemnification Agreements provide for indemnification of the directors and executive officers of Wave-Delaware to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law against expenses, including, among other things, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts actually and reasonably incurred in any action or proceeding. In addition, the Indemnification Agreements provide for advancement of expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by a director or officer of Wave-Delaware in defending any action, suit or proceeding; provided that such advancement is subject to an undertaking to repay amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by Wave-Delaware.

The foregoing description of the Indemnification Agreements is a general description only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of the Indemnification Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, and incorporated herein by reference.

Directors and Officers

In connection with the completion of the Redomiciliation, the directors and executive officers of Wave-Singapore immediately prior to the completion of the Redomiciliation became the directors and executive officers of Wave-Delaware. In addition, following completion of the Redomiciliation, Wave-Delaware replicated the structure of the committees of the board of directors that previously were in place for Wave-Singapore.

Information regarding Wave-Delaware’s directors, executive officers and committee members is included in Wave-Singapore’s proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on June 23, 2025 under the headings “Management and Corporate Governance” and “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”

Assumption and Amendment and Restatement of Equity Plans

Effective upon the completion of the Redomiciliation, Wave-Delaware assumed Wave-Singapore’s Wave Life Sciences Ltd. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (which plan terminated by its terms on December 10, 2024, and under which no new awards may be granted, but awards previously granted thereunder remain outstanding), Wave Life Sciences Ltd. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, Wave Life Sciences Ltd. Nasdaq Inducement Restricted Share Unit Award Grant Notice and Nasdaq Inducement Restricted Share Unit Agreement, Wave Life Sciences Ltd. Nasdaq Inducement Non-qualified Share Option Grant Notice and Nasdaq Inducement Non-qualified Share Option Agreement, and Wave Life Sciences Ltd. 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended, and all outstanding awards and rights thereunder, and amended and restated the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan in the form of the Wave Life Sciences, Inc. Amended and Restated 2021 Equity Incentive Plan and the Wave Life Sciences, Inc. Amended and Restated 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, respectively, and made conforming amendments to the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (solely to continue administering awards outstanding thereunder) and the Nasdaq Inducement forms, in each case, to provide, among other things, that the securities issuable in connection with awards thereunder (including the purchase rights under the Amended and Restated 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan) will be shares of Wave-Delaware Common Stock rather than ordinary shares of Wave-Singapore. The assumed awards and rights will continue to have substantially the same terms and conditions that applied prior to the consummation of the Redomiciliation, provided, that securities issuable in connection with awards thereunder will be in shares of Wave-Delaware Common Stock rather than ordinary shares of Wave-Singapore. Descriptions of the material terms of the Wave Life Sciences, Inc. Amended and Restated 2021 Equity Incentive Plan and the Wave Life Sciences, Inc. Amended and Restated 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan are included in the Proxy Statement, which descriptions are incorporated herein by reference. The Amendment to the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, the Amended and Restated 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, the Amendment to the Nasdaq Inducement Restricted Stock Unit Award Grant Notice and Nasdaq Inducement Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, the Amendment to the Nasdaq Inducement Non-qualified Share Option Grant Notice and Nasdaq Inducement Non-qualified Share Option Agreement, and the Amended and Restated 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan are filed as Exhibits 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6, respectively, hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Director Compensation

Effective as of the completion of the Redomiciliation, Wave-Singapore’s 2025 Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy will continue to be applicable to directors of Wave-Delaware with respect to the cash compensation. The original Wave-Singapore 2025 Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy (which shall apply to Wave-Delaware directors with respect to the cash compensation), is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.7 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.03

Item 8.01

Other Events.

DESCRIPTION OF WAVE-DELAWARE CAPITAL STOCK

Wave-Delaware has one class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act: the Wave-Delaware Common Stock. The following description of Wave-Delaware’s Common Stock is a summary. This summary is subject to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and the complete text of Wave-Delaware’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, which are incorporated herein by reference.

General

Wave-Delaware’s authorized capital stock consists of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 30,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share.

Common Stock

Voting Rights

Shares of Wave-Delaware Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share. Wave-Delaware stockholders will not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. As a result, subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more outstanding series of preferred stock to elect directors, at a duly called or convened meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present, a plurality of the votes cast will be able to elect all of the directors then standing for election.

Dividends

Subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of preferred stock as may be set forth in the certificate of designations for such class or series of preferred stock, holders of Wave-Delaware Common Stock will be entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Wave-Delaware board of directors out of legally available funds. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property or in shares of Wave-Delaware’s Common Stock. Declaration and payment of any dividend will be subject to the discretion of the Wave-Delaware board of directors. The time and amount of dividends will be dependent upon Wav-Delaware’s results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions and capital requirements, the provisions of Delaware law affecting the payment of distributions to stockholders and any other factors the Wave-Delaware board of directors may consider relevant.

Liquidation

In the event of Wave-Delaware’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of Wave-Delaware Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of Wave-Delaware’s debts and other liabilities and the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any then outstanding shares of preferred stock.

Rights and Preferences

Holders of Wave-Delaware Common Stock do not have preemptive, conversion, subscription or other rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to Wave-Delaware’s Common Stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of Wave-Delaware Common Stock are subject to and may be adversely affected by the rights of the holders of shares of any series of Wave-Delaware preferred stock, including any series of preferred stock that Wave-Delaware may designate in the future.

Fully Paid and Non-Assessable

All of the outstanding shares of Wave-Delaware Common Stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

Preferred Stock

General

The Wave-Delaware Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Wave-Delaware board of directors to issue preferred stock in one or more series and to determine the preferences, limitations and relative rights of any shares of preferred stock that it shall choose to issue, without vote or action by the stockholders.

Pre-Funded Warrants

In connection with the Scheme of Arrangement, Wave-Delaware has assumed the Pre-Funded Warrants issued by Wave-Singapore. As a result, the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable for shares of common stock of Wave-Delaware in lieu of ordinary shares of Wave-Singapore. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance and on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the five-year anniversary of their original issuance. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part by delivering to Wave-Delaware a duly executed exercise notice and by payment in full of the exercise price in immediately available funds for the number of share(s) of Wave-Delaware common stock purchased upon such exercise. As an alternative to payment in immediately available funds, the holder may elect to exercise the Pre-Funded Warrant through a cashless exercise, in which the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of Wave-Delaware common stock determined according to the formula set forth in the Pre-Funded Warrant. No fractional shares of Wave-Delaware common stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a Pre-Funded Warrant following the completion of the Transaction. The foregoing description is a general description only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of pre-funded warrant, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Annual Stockholder Meetings

Wave-Delaware’s Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that annual stockholder meetings will be held at a date, place (if any) and time, as exclusively selected by the Wave-Delaware board of directors. To the extent permitted under applicable law, Wave-Delaware may, but is not obligated to, conduct meetings by remote communications, including by webcast.

Stock Exchange Listing

Wave-Delaware Common Stock is currently listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “WVE,” the same symbol under which Wave-Singapore ordinary shares were previously listed. No shares of Wave-Delaware preferred stock are being listed in connection with the Redomiciliation.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for Wave-Delaware Common Stock is Computershare Trust Company, N.A. The transfer agent and registrar’s address is 150 Royall Street, Canton, Massachusetts 02021.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of the Wave-Delaware Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and Delaware Law

The DGCL contains, and Wave-Delaware’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws contain, provisions that may delay, defer or discourage another party from acquiring control of Wave-Delaware. Wave-Delaware expects that these provisions, which are summarized below, will discourage coercive takeover practices or inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of Wave-Delaware to first negotiate with the Wave-Delaware board of directors, which Wave-Delaware believes may result in an improvement of the terms of any such acquisition in favor of Wave-Delaware stockholders. However, they will also give the Wave-Delaware board of directors the power to discourage acquisitions that some stockholders may favor.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute

Wave-Delaware is subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, which prohibits persons deemed “interested stockholders” from engaging in a “business combination” with a publicly-held Delaware corporation for three years following the date these persons become interested stockholders unless the business combination is, or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder was, approved in a prescribed manner or another prescribed exception applies. Generally, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock and a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. The existence of this provision may have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the Wave-Delaware board of directors, such as discouraging takeover attempts that might result in a premium over the market price of Wave-Delaware Common Stock.

Undesignated Preferred Stock

The ability to issue undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for the Wave-Delaware board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of Wave-Delaware. These and other provisions may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying or preventing changes in control or management of Wave-Delaware.

Stockholder Action and Special Stockholder Meetings

Wave-Delaware’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that, except as otherwise provided in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or in the applicable certificate of designation related to any series of preferred stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by its stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of its stockholders and may not be effected by any consent in writing by its stockholders. Wave-Delaware’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation further provides, subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more outstanding series of preferred stock, that special meetings of its stockholders may be called only by or at the direction of the Wave-Delaware board of directors, the Chairperson of the Wave-Delaware board of directors or Wave-Delaware’s Chief Executive Officer or President, thus prohibiting a stockholder, in his, her or its capacity as a stockholder, from calling a special meeting. These provisions might delay the ability of Wave-Delaware stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or for stockholders to take any action, including the removal of directors.

Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations

Wave-Delaware’s Amended and Restated Bylaws provide advance notice procedures for stockholders seeking to bring business before Wave-Delaware’s annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at Wave-Delaware’s annual meeting of stockholders. Wave-Delaware’s Amended and Restated Bylaws also specify certain requirements regarding the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. These provisions might preclude Wave-Delaware stockholders from bringing matters before the annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at the annual meeting of stockholders if the proper procedures are not followed. Wave-Delaware expects that these provisions might also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of Wave-Delaware.

Supermajority Requirements for Certain Amendments of Wave-Delaware’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws

Certain amendments to Wave-Delaware’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation require the approval of 66-2/3% of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of Wave-Delaware entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class.

Composition of the Board of Directors; Election and Removal of Directors; Filling Vacancies

The Wave-Delaware board of directors will determine from time to time by resolution the total number of directors that will constitute the whole board of directors. Subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more outstanding series of preferred stock to elect directors, in any election of directors at a duly called or convened meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present, a director nominee for the Wave-Delaware board of directors will be elected by the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast with respect to such director. An incumbent director who is nominated for an election and fails to receive a plurality of the votes present and voting for such director’s re-election would be expected to tender their resignation to Wave-Delaware.

Wave-Delaware does not have a classified board, and Wave-Delaware’s directors will be elected and shall hold office until the next annual election and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal.

The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Wave-Delaware provides that, subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more outstanding series of preferred stock to elect directors, the directors of Wave-Delaware may be removed with or without cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all then-outstanding voting stock entitled to vote at an election of directors. Furthermore, subject to (i) the special rights of the holders of one or more outstanding series of preferred stock to elect directors and (ii) the rights of Wave-Delaware stockholders to fill a vacancy created by the removal of a director at a meeting of stockholders held for that purpose, a majority of the Wave-Delaware board of directors has the exclusive right to appoint a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the Wave-Delaware board of directors or the resignation, death or removal of a director. This system of electing and removing directors and filling vacancies may tend to discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of Wave-Delaware, because it generally makes it more difficult for stockholders to replace a majority of the directors.

Choice of Forum

The Wave-Delaware Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that, unless Wave-Delaware consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for the following: any derivative action, suit or proceeding brought on Wave-Delaware’s behalf; any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim of a breach of fiduciary duty; any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against Wave-Delaware arising pursuant to the DGCL or Wave-Delaware’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws; or any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against Wave-Delaware that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The federal district courts of the United States will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, including all causes of action asserted against any defendant to such complaint.

Limitations of Liability and Indemnification Matters

Wave-Delaware’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that Wave-Delaware has the power to provide rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses to, among others, its current and former directors and officers. The DGCL provides that the certificate of incorporation may not eliminate or limit the liability of:

a director or officer for any breach of the director or officer’s duty of loyalty to Wave-Delaware or its stockholders;

a director or officer for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

a director pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL;

a director or officer for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit; or

an officer in any action by or in the right of Wave-Delaware.

Wave-Delaware’s Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that Wave-Delaware must indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law. Wave-Delaware is also required to advance certain expenses (including attorneys’ fees) to its directors and officers and is expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ insurance providing indemnification for its directors and officers for some liabilities. Wave-Delaware has entered into agreements to indemnify the Wave-Delaware directors and executive officers as determined by the Wave-Delaware board of directors. Wave-Delaware believes that these bylaw provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in the Wave-Delaware Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against Wave-Delaware directors and officers for any alleged breach of fiduciary duty. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against Wave-Delaware directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit Wave-Delaware and its stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent that Wave-Delaware pays the costs of settlement and damages.

authority to issue is 530,000,000. The total number of shares of Common Stock that the Corporation is authorized to issue is 500,000,000, having a par value of $0.001 per share, and the total number of shares of Preferred Stock that the Corporation

is authorized to issue is 30,000,000, having a par value of $0.001 per share.

ARTICLE V

The designations and the powers, privileges and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof in respect of each class

of capital stock of the Corporation are as follows:

A. COMMON STOCK.

1. General. The voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and powers of the Common Stock are subject to and qualified by the

rights, powers and preferences of any series of Preferred Stock as may be designated by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) and outstanding from time to time.

2. Voting. Except as otherwise provided herein or expressly required by law, each holder of Common Stock, as such, shall be entitled to

vote on each matter submitted to a vote of stockholders and shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of Common Stock held of record by such holder as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter.

Except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Restated Certificate (including any Certificate of Designation (as defined below)) that relates solely to the rights,

powers, preferences (or the

qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof) or other terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or

together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Restated Certificate (including any Certificate of Designation) or pursuant to the DGCL.

Subject to the rights of any holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be

increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the holders of a majority of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote , irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL.

3. Dividends. Subject to applicable law and the rights and preferences of any holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, the

holders of Common Stock, as such, shall be entitled to the payment of dividends on the Common Stock when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors in accordance with applicable law.

4. Liquidation. Subject to the rights and preferences of any holders of any shares of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, in the

event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the funds and assets of the Corporation that may be legally distributed to the Corporation’s stockholders shall be distributed among the

holders of the then outstanding Common Stock pro rata in accordance with the number of shares of Common Stock held by each such holder.

B. PREFERRED STOCK

Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of such series to have such terms as stated or expressed

herein and in the resolution or resolutions providing for the creation and issuance of such series adopted by the Board of Directors as hereinafter provided.

Authority is hereby expressly granted to the Board of Directors from time to time to issue the Preferred Stock in one or more series, and in

connection with the creation of any such series, by adopting a resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of the shares thereof and by filing a certificate of designation relating thereto in accordance with the DGCL (a

“Certificate of Designation”), to determine and fix the number of shares of such series and such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other

special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including without limitation thereof, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, and to increase or decrease (but not below the

number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series as shall be stated and expressed in such resolutions, all to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the

foregoing, the resolution or resolutions providing for the creation and issuance of any series of Preferred Stock may provide that such series shall be superior or rank equally or be junior to any other series of Preferred Stock to the extent

permitted by law and this Restated Certificate (including any Certificate of Designation). Except as otherwise required by law, holders of any series of Preferred Stock shall be entitled only to such voting rights, if any, as shall expressly be

granted thereto by this Restated Certificate (including any Certificate of Designation).

The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not

below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL.

ARTICLE VI

For the

management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation it is further provided that:

A. Each director shall hold

office until the next annual election and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any

incumbent director.

B. Except as otherwise expressly provided by the DGCL or this Restated Certificate, the business and affairs of the

Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be fixed exclusively by one or more resolutions adopted from time to time by the

Board of Directors.

C. Subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock to elect

directors, the Board of Directors or any individual director may be removed from office at any time and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of voting stock of

the Corporation entitled to vote at an election of directors.

D. Subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more outstanding

series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, except as otherwise provided by law, any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, retirement, removal or other causes and any newly created directorships

resulting from any increase in the number of directors shall be filled exclusively by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (other than any directors

elected by the separate vote of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock), and shall not be filled by the stockholders.

E.

Whenever the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation shall have the right, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more such other series, to elect directors at an annual or special

meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, removal and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of this Restated Certificate (including any Certificate of Designation). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary

in this Article VI, the number of directors that may be elected by the holders of any such series of Preferred Stock shall be in addition to the number fixed pursuant to paragraph B of this Article VI, and the total number of directors constituting

the whole Board of Directors shall be automatically adjusted accordingly. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Designation(s) in respect of one or more series of Preferred Stock, whenever the

holders of any series of Preferred Stock having such right to elect additional directors are divested of such right pursuant to the provisions of such Certificate of Designation(s), the terms of

office of all such additional directors elected by the holders of such series of Preferred Stock, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of such additional directors, shall forthwith

terminate (in which case each such director thereupon shall cease to be qualified as, and shall cease to be, a director) and the total authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall automatically be reduced accordingly.

F. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, amend or

repeal the bylaws of the Corporation (the “Bylaws”). In addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by applicable law or by this Restated Certificate (including any Certificate

of Designation in respect of one or more series of Preferred Stock) or the Bylaws of the Corporation, the adoption, amendment or repeal of the Bylaws of the Corporation by the stockholders of the Corporation shall require the affirmative vote of the

holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of voting stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in an election of directors.

G. The directors of the Corporation need not be elected by written ballot unless the Bylaws so provide.

ARTICLE VII

A. Any

action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at an annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, and shall not be taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting. Notwithstanding the

foregoing, any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more other such series, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice

and without a vote, to the extent expressly so provided by the applicable Certificate of Designation relating to such series of Preferred Stock, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders

of outstanding shares of the relevant series of Preferred Stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and

voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL.

B. Subject to the special

rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called, for any purpose or purposes, at any time only by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, the Chairperson of the

Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer or President, and shall not be called by any other person or persons.

C. Advance notice

of stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of other business proposed to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation shall be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

ARTICLE VIII

No director or officer of the Corporation shall have any personal liability to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for

any breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or hereafter may be amended. Any amendment, repeal or modification of

this Article VIII, or the adoption of any provision of the Restated Certificate inconsistent with this Article VIII, shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director or officer of the Corporation with respect to any act or omission

occurring prior to such amendment, repeal, modification or adoption. If the DGCL is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article VIII to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors or

officers, then the liability of a director or officer of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as so amended.

ARTICLE IX

The

Corporation shall have the power to provide rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses to its current and former officers, directors, employees and agents and to any person who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a

director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

ARTICLE X

Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, (a) the Court of Chancery (the “Chancery

Court”) of the State of Delaware (or, in the event that the Chancery Court does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) shall, to the fullest extent

permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action, suit or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any

director, officer or stockholder of the Corporation to the Corporation or to the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action, suit or proceeding arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Bylaws or this Restated

Certificate (as either may be amended from time to time) or (iv) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against the Corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine; and (b) subject to the preceding provisions of this

Article X, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause or causes of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including all causes

of action asserted against any defendant to such complaint. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence is filed in a court other than the courts in the State of Delaware (a

“Foreign Action”) in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Delaware in connection with any action

brought in any such court to enforce the provisions of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence and (y) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the

Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder.

Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any security of the

Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to this Article X. This Article X is intended to benefit and may be enforced by the Corporation, its officers and directors, the underwriters to any offering giving rise to such complaint,

and any other professional or entity whose profession gives authority to a statement made by that person or entity and who has prepared or certified any part of the documents underlying the offering.

If any provision or provisions of this Article X shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any circumstance for any

reason whatsoever, (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article X (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Article X

containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the application of such provision to other

persons or entities and circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

ARTICLE XI

A. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Restated Certificate to the contrary, in addition to any vote required by applicable law, the

following provisions in this Restated Certificate may be amended, altered, repealed or rescinded, in whole or in part, or any provision inconsistent therewith or herewith may be adopted, only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66

2/3% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class: Part B of Article V, Article VI, Article VII, Article VIII, Article IX, Article X, and this

Article XI.

B. If any provision or provisions of this Restated Certificate shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as

applied to any circumstance for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Restated Certificate (including, without limitation, each

portion of any paragraph of this Restated Certificate containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by

applicable law, in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the provisions of this Restated Certificate (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph of this

Restated Certificate containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to permit the Corporation to protect its directors, officers, employees and agents from personal liability in respect of their

good faith service to or for the benefit of the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by law.

The address of the registered office of Wave Life Sciences, Inc. (the “Corporation”) in the State of Delaware, and the name

of its registered agent at such address, shall be as set forth in the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation, as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”).

1.2 Other Offices.

The

Corporation may have additional offices at any place or places, within or outside the State of Delaware, as the Corporation’s board of directors (the “Board”) may from time to time establish or as the business of the

Corporation may require.

Article II - Meetings of Stockholders

2.1 Place of Meetings.

Meetings of stockholders shall be held at any place within or outside the State of Delaware, designated by the Board. The Board may, in its

sole discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as authorized by Section 211(a)(2) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware

(the “DGCL”). In the absence of any such designation or determination, stockholders’ meetings shall be held at the Corporation’s principal executive office.

1

2.4 Notice of Business to be Brought before a Meeting.

(a) At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To

be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (i) specified in a notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the Board, (ii) if not specified in a notice of meeting, otherwise brought before the meeting by or at the

direction of the Board or the Chairperson of the Board or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder present in person who (A) (1) was a record owner of shares of capital stock of the Corporation both at the time

of giving the notice provided for in this Section 2.4 and at the time of the meeting, (2) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (3) has complied with this Section 2.4 in all applicable respects or (B) properly made such

proposal in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (as so amended and inclusive of such rules and regulations, the

“Exchange Act”). The foregoing clause (iii) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to propose business to be brought before an annual meeting of the stockholders. For purposes of this Section 2.4, “present

in person” shall mean that the stockholder proposing that the business be brought before the annual meeting of the Corporation, or a qualified representative of such proposing stockholder, appear at such annual meeting, either in person or by

means of remote communication. A “qualified representative” of such proposing stockholder shall be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or any other person authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder

or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or

electronic transmission, at or before the meeting of stockholders in writing or by electronic transmission. Stockholders seeking to nominate persons for election to the Board must comply with Section 2.5 and Section 2.6 and this

Section 2.4 shall not be applicable to nominations except as expressly provided in Section 2.5 and Section 2.6.

(b)

Without qualification, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must (i) provide Timely Notice (as defined below) thereof in writing and in proper form to the Secretary of the Corporation

and (ii) provide any updates or supplements to such notice at the times and in the forms required by this Section 2.4. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive

offices of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the one-year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided,

however, that if the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) days before or more than sixty (60) days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered, or mailed and received, not more

than the hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than (i) the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting or, (ii) if later, the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public disclosure of the

date of such annual meeting was first made by the Corporation (such notice within such time periods, “Timely Notice”). In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a

new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of Timely Notice as described above.

(c) To be in proper form for purposes of

this Section 2.4, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth:

(i) As to each Proposing Person (as defined below),

(A) the name and address of such Proposing Person (including, if applicable, the name and address that appear on the Corporation’s books and records), (B) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation that are,

directly or indirectly, owned of record or beneficially owned (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by such Proposing Person, except that such Proposing Person shall in all events be deemed

to beneficially own any shares of any

2

class or series of capital stock of the Corporation as to which such Proposing Person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time in the future, (C) the date or dates such shares

were acquired, (D) the investment intent of such acquisition and (E) any pledge by such Proposing Person with respect to any of such shares (the disclosures to be made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (A) through (E) are referred to

as “Stockholder Information”);

(ii) As to each Proposing Person,

(A) the material terms and conditions of any “derivative security” (as such term is defined in Rule

16a-1(c) under the Exchange Act) that constitutes a “call equivalent position” (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(b) under the Exchange Act) or a

“put equivalent position” (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) or other derivative or synthetic arrangement in respect of any class or series of shares of capital stock

of the Corporation (“Synthetic Equity Position”) that is, directly or indirectly, held or maintained by, held for the benefit of, or involving such Proposing Person, including, without limitation,

(1) any option, warrant, convertible security, stock appreciation right, future or similar right with an exercise or conversion privilege or a

settlement payment or mechanism at a price related to any class or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation or with a value derived in whole or in part from the value of any shares of any class or series of shares of capital stock of the

Corporation,

(2) any derivative or synthetic arrangement having the characteristics of a long position or a short position in any class

or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation, including, without limitation, a stock loan transaction, a stock borrow transaction, or a share repurchase transaction or

(3) any contract, derivative, swap or other transaction or series of transactions designed to

(x) produce economic benefits and risks that correspond substantially to the ownership of any class or series of shares of capital stock of

the Corporation,

(y) mitigate any loss relating to, reduce the economic risk (of ownership or otherwise) of, or manage the risk of share

price decrease in, any class or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation, or

(z) increase or decrease the voting power in

respect of any class or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation held or maintained by, held for the benefit of, or involving such Proposing Person,

including, without limitation, due to the fact that the value of such contract, derivative, swap or other transaction or series of

transactions is determined by reference to the price, value or volatility of any class or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation, whether or not such instrument, contract or right shall be subject to settlement in the underlying class

or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation, through the delivery of cash or other property, or otherwise, and without regard to whether the holder thereof may have entered into transactions that hedge or mitigate the economic effect of

such instrument, contract or right, or any other direct or indirect opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any increase or decrease in the price or value of any shares of any class or series of shares of capital stock of the

Corporation; provided, that, for the purposes of the definition of “Synthetic Equity Position,” the term “derivative security” shall also include any security or instrument that would not otherwise constitute a

“derivative security” as a result of any feature that would make any conversion, exercise or similar right or privilege of such security or instrument becoming determinable only at some future date or upon the happening of a future

occurrence, in which case the determination of the amount of securities into which such security or instrument would be convertible or

3

exercisable shall be made assuming that such security or instrument is immediately convertible or exercisable at the time of such determination; and, provided, further, that any Proposing Person

satisfying the requirements of Rule 13d-1(b)(1) under the Exchange Act (other than a Proposing Person that so satisfies Rule 13d-1(b)(1) under the Exchange Act solely by

reason of Rule 13d-1(b)(1)(ii)(E)) shall not be deemed to hold or maintain the notional amount of any securities that underly any Synthetic Equity Position that is, directly or indirectly, held or maintained

by, held for the benefit of, or involving such Proposing Person as a hedge with respect to a bona fide derivatives trade or position of such Proposing Person arising in the ordinary course of such Proposing Person’s business as a derivatives

dealer,

(B) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to any rights to dividends on the shares of any

class or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation owned beneficially by such Proposing Person that are separated or separable pursuant to such agreement, arrangement or understanding from the underlying shares of capital stock of the

Corporation,

(C) any material pending or threatened legal proceeding in which such Proposing Person is a party or material participant

involving the Corporation or any of its officers or directors, or any affiliate of the Corporation,

(D) any other material relationship

between such Proposing Person, on the one hand, and the Corporation or any affiliate of the Corporation, on the other hand,

(E) any

direct or indirect material interest in any material contract or agreement of such Proposing Person with the Corporation or any affiliate of the Corporation (including, in any such case, any employment agreement, collective bargaining agreement or

consulting agreement),

(F) any proportionate interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation or a Synthetic Equity Position held,

directly or indirectly, by a general or limited partnership, limited liability company or similar entity in which any such Proposing Person (1) is a general partner or, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns an interest in a general partner

of such general or limited partnership or (2) is the manager, managing member or, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns an interest in the manager or managing member of such limited liability company or similar entity,

(G) a representation that such Proposing Person intends or is part of a group that intends to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy

to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal or otherwise solicit proxies or votes from stockholders in support of such proposal and

(H) any other information relating to such Proposing Person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing

required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies or consents by such Proposing Person in support of the business proposed to be brought before the meeting pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, (the disclosures to be made

pursuant to the foregoing clauses (A) through (H) are referred to as “Disclosable Interests”); provided, however, that Disclosable Interests shall not include any such disclosures with respect to the ordinary course business

activities of any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is a Proposing Person solely as a result of being the stockholder directed to prepare and submit the notice required by these bylaws on behalf of a beneficial

owner; and

(iii) As to each item of business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual

meeting, (A) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting and any material interest in such business of each Proposing Person, (B) the

text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment), (C) a reasonably detailed

description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings (x) between or among any of the Proposing Persons or (y) between or among any Proposing Person and any other record or beneficial holder(s) or persons(s) who have a right to

acquire beneficial ownership at any time in the future of the shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation or any other person or entity (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such

stockholder, and (D) any other information relating to such item of business that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies in support of the business

proposed to be brought before the meeting pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act; provided, however, that the disclosures required by this paragraph (iii) shall not include any disclosures with respect to any broker, dealer,

commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is a Proposing Person solely as a result of being the stockholder directed to prepare and submit the notice required by these bylaws on behalf of a beneficial owner.

For purposes of this Section 2.4, the term “Proposing Person” shall mean (i) the stockholder providing the notice of

business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting, (ii) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf the notice of the business proposed to be brought before the annual meeting is made, and (iii) any

participant (as defined in paragraphs (a)(ii)-(vi) of Instruction 3 to Item 4 of Schedule 14A) with such stockholder in such solicitation.

(d) The Board may request that any Proposing Person furnish such additional information as may be reasonably required by the Board. Such

Proposing Person shall provide such additional information within ten (10) days after it has been requested by the Board.

(e) A

Proposing Person shall update and supplement its notice to the Corporation of its intent to propose business at an annual meeting, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this

Section 2.4 shall be true and correct as of the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update

and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five (5) business days after the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting

(in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of such record date), and not later than eight (8) business days prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment or postponement thereof (and, if not

practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned or postponed) (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any

adjournment or postponement thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other Section of these bylaws shall not limit the Corporation’s rights with respect to any

deficiencies in any notice provided by a stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted notice hereunder to amend or update any proposal or to submit any new

proposal, including by changing or adding matters, business or resolutions proposed to be brought before a meeting of the stockholders.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in these bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at an annual meeting that is not properly brought

before the meeting in accordance with this Section 2.4. The presiding officer of the meeting (or, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, the Board or an authorized committee thereof) shall, if the facts warrant, determine that the business

was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with this Section 2.4, and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be

transacted.

5

(g) This Section 2.4 is expressly intended to apply to any business proposed to be

brought before an annual meeting of stockholders other than any proposal made in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and included in the Corporation’s proxy statement. In addition to the

requirements of this Section 2.4 with respect to any business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting, each Proposing Person shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act with respect to any such business. Nothing in

this Section 2.4 shall be deemed to affect the rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

(h) For purposes of these bylaws, “public disclosure” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service

or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

2.5 Notice of Nominations for Election to the Board.

Nominations of any person for election to the Board at an annual meeting or at a special meeting (but only if the election of directors is a

matter specified in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the person calling such special meeting) may be made at such meeting only (i) by or at the direction of the Board, including by any committee or persons authorized to do

so by the Board or these bylaws, or (ii) by a stockholder present in person who (A) was a record owner of shares of capital stock of the Corporation both at the time of giving the notice provided for in this Section 2.5 and at the

“qualified representative” of such proposing stockholder shall be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or any other person authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission

delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at or

before the meeting of stockholders in writing or by electronic transmission. The foregoing clause (ii) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make any nomination of a person or persons for election to the Board at an annual meeting

or special meeting.

(b) (i) Without qualification, for a stockholder to make any nomination of a person or persons for election to the

Board at an annual meeting, the stockholder must (1) provide Timely Notice thereof in writing and in proper form to the Secretary of the Corporation, (2) provide the information, agreements and questionnaires with respect to each

Nominating Person (as defined below) and its candidate for nomination as required to be set forth by this Section 2.5 and Section 2.6 and (3) provide any updates or supplements to such notice at the times and in the forms required by

this Section 2.5 and Section 2.6.

(ii) Without qualification, if the election of directors is a matter specified in the notice

of meeting given by or at the direction of the person calling a special meeting, then for a stockholder to make any nomination of a person or persons for election to the Board at a special meeting, the stockholder must (A) provide timely notice

thereof in writing and in proper form to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation, (B) provide the information with respect to each Nominating Person and its candidate for nomination as required by

this Section 2.5 and Section 2.6 and (C) provide any updates or supplements to such

6

and received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such special meeting and not later than the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such special meeting or, if later, the

tenth (10th) day following the day on which public disclosure (as defined in Section 2.4) of the date of such special meeting was first made (such notice within such time periods, “Special Meeting Timely Notice”).

(iii) In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or special meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new

time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

(c) To be in proper form for

purposes of this Section 2.5, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth:

(i) As to each Nominating Person, the

Stockholder Information (as defined in Section 2.4(c)(i), except that for purposes of this Section 2.5 the term “Nominating Person” shall be substituted for the term “Proposing Person” in all places it appears in

Section 2.4(c)(i));

(ii) As to each Nominating Person, any Disclosable Interests (as defined in Section 2.4(c)(ii), except that

for purposes of this Section 2.5 the term “Nominating Person” shall be substituted for the term “Proposing Person” in all places it appears in Section 2.4(c)(ii) and the disclosure with respect to the business to be

brought before the meeting in Section 2.4(c)(ii) shall be made with respect to the nomination proposed to be made at the meeting); and provided, that, in lieu of including the information set forth in Section 2.4(c)(ii)(G), the Nominating

Person’s notice for purposes of this Section 2.5 shall include a representation as to whether the Nominating Person intends or is part of a group that intends to deliver a proxy statement and solicit the holders of shares representing at

least 67% of the voting power of shares entitled to vote on the election of directors in support of director nominees other than the Corporation’s nominees in accordance with Rule 14a-19 promulgated

under the Exchange Act; and

(iii) As to each candidate whom a Nominating Person proposes to nominate for election as a director,

(A) all information relating to such candidate for nomination that is required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors in a contested

election pursuant to Section 14(a) under the Exchange Act (including such candidate’s written consent to being named in a proxy statement and accompanying proxy card relating to the Corporation’s next meeting of stockholders at

which directors are to be elected and to serving as a director for a full term if elected), (B) a description of any direct or indirect material interest in any material contract or agreement between or among any Nominating Person, on the one hand,

and each candidate for nomination or his or her respective associates (as defined in Rule 14a-1(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act) or any other participants (as defined in paragraphs (a)(ii)-(vi) of

Instruction 3 to Item 4 of Schedule 14A) in such solicitation, on the other hand, including, without limitation, all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 under Regulation S-K

if such Nominating Person were the “registrant” for purposes of such rule and the candidate for nomination were a director or executive officer of such registrant and (C) a completed and signed questionnaire, representation and

agreement as provided in Section 2.6(a).

For purposes of this Section 2.5, the term “Nominating Person” shall mean

(i) the stockholder providing the notice of the nomination proposed to be made at the meeting, (ii) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf the notice of the nomination proposed to be made at the meeting is

made, and (iii) any participant (as defined in paragraphs (a)(ii)-(vi) of Instruction 3 to Item 4 of Schedule 14A) with such stockholder in such solicitation.

7

(d) The Board may request that any Nominating Person furnish such additional information as

may be reasonably required by the Board. Such Nominating Person shall provide such additional information within ten (10) days after it has been requested by the Board.

(e) A stockholder providing notice of any nomination proposed to be made at a meeting shall further update and supplement such notice or the

materials delivered pursuant to this Section 2.5, as applicable, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be true and correct as of the record date for

stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the

Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five (5) business days after the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of

such record date), and not later than eight (8) business days prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment or postponement thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the

meeting has been adjourned or postponed) (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to

update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other Section of these bylaws shall not limit the Corporation’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines

hereunder or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted notice hereunder to amend or update any nomination, including by changing or adding nominees, or to submit any new nomination, or submit any new proposal, matters,

business or resolutions proposed to be brought before a meeting of the stockholders.

(f) In addition to the requirements of this

Section 2.5 with respect to any nomination proposed to be made at a meeting, each Nominating Person shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act with respect to any such nominations. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions

of this Section 2.5, unless otherwise required by law, (i) no Nominating Person shall solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Corporation’s nominees unless such Nominating Person has, or is part of a group that

has, complied with Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the Exchange Act in connection with the solicitation of such proxies, including the provision to the Corporation of notices required thereunder, in accordance

with the time frames required in this Section 2.5 or by Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the Exchange Act, as applicable, and (ii) if (1) any Nominating Person provides notice in accordance with Rule 14a-19(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act and (2) (x) such notice in accordance with Rule 14a-19(b) is not provided within the time period for Timely Notice or Special

Meeting Timely Notice, as applicable, (y) such Nominating Person subsequently fails to comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(2) or Rule 14a-19(a)(3)

promulgated under the Exchange Act or (z) such Nominating Person fails to timely provide reasonable evidence sufficient to satisfy the Corporation that such Nominating Person has met the requirements of Rule

14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act in accordance with the following sentence, then the nomination of such Nominating Person’s proposed nominees shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that

each such nominee is included as a nominee in the Corporation’s proxy statement, notice of meeting or other proxy materials for any meeting of stockholders (or any supplement thereto) and notwithstanding that proxies or votes in respect of the

election of such proposed nominees may have been received by the Corporation (which proxies and votes shall be disregarded). If any Nominating Person provides notice in accordance with Rule 14a-19(b)

promulgated under the Exchange Act, such Nominating Person shall deliver to the Corporation, no later than seven (7) business days prior to the applicable meeting, reasonable evidence that it has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

2.6 Additional Requirements for Valid Nomination of Candidates to Serve as Director and,

if Elected, to be Seated as Directors.

(a) To be eligible to be a candidate for election as a director of the Corporation at an

annual or special meeting, a candidate must be nominated in the manner prescribed in Section 2.5 and the candidate for nomination, whether nominated by the Board or by a stockholder of record, must have previously delivered, to the Secretary at

the principal executive offices of the Corporation, (i) a completed written questionnaire (in the form provided by the Corporation within ten (10) days upon written request of any stockholder of record therefor) with respect to the

background, qualifications, stock ownership and independence of such proposed nominee and (ii) a written representation and agreement (in the form provided by the Corporation within ten (10) days upon written request of any stockholder of

record therefor) that such candidate for nomination (A) is not and, if elected as a director during his or her term of office, will not become a party to (1) any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given and will not

give any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such proposed nominee, if elected as a director of the Corporation, will act or vote on any issue or question (a “Voting Commitment”) or (2) any Voting

Commitment that could limit or interfere with such proposed nominee’s ability to comply, if elected as a director of the Corporation, with such proposed nominee’s fiduciary duties under applicable law, (B) is not, and will not

become a party to, any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation or reimbursement for service as a director that has not been disclosed to the

Corporation, and (C) if elected as a director of the Corporation, will comply with all applicable corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality, stock ownership and trading and other policies and guidelines of the Corporation

applicable to directors and in effect during such person’s term in office as a director (and, if requested by any candidate for nomination, the Secretary of the Corporation shall provide to such candidate for nomination all such policies and

guidelines then in effect).

(b) The Board may also require any proposed candidate for nomination as a director to furnish such other

information related to such candidate’s eligibility or qualification to serve as a director as may reasonably be requested by the Board in writing prior to the meeting of stockholders at which such candidate’s nomination is to be acted

upon. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board may request such other information in order for the Board to determine the eligibility of such candidate for nomination to be an independent director of the Corporation or to comply

with the director qualification standards and additional selection criteria in accordance with the Corporation’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. Such other information shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the

principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five (5) business days after the request by the Board has been delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Nominating Person.

(c) A candidate for nomination as a director shall further update and supplement the materials delivered pursuant to this Section 2.6, if

necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be true and correct as of the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and as of the date that is ten

(10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later

than five (5) business days after the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of such record date), and not later than eight (8) business days prior to

the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment or postponement thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date

9

prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned or postponed) (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any

adjournment or postponement thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other Section of these bylaws shall not limit the Corporation’s rights with respect to any

deficiencies in any notice provided by a stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted notice hereunder to amend or update any nomination or to submit any new

proposal, including by changing or adding nominees, matters, business or resolutions proposed to be brought before a meeting of the stockholders.

(d) No candidate nominated pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(ii) shall be eligible for nomination as a director of the Corporation unless such

candidate for nomination and the Nominating Person seeking to place such candidate’s name in nomination has complied with Section 2.5 and this Section 2.6, as applicable. The presiding officer at the meeting shall, if the facts

warrant, determine that a nomination was not properly made in accordance with Section 2.5 and this Section 2.6, and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare such determination to the meeting, the defective nomination

shall be disregarded and any ballots cast for the candidate in question (but in the case of any form of ballot listing other qualified nominees, only the ballots cast for the nominee in question) shall be void and of no force or effect.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in these bylaws to the contrary, no candidate for nomination shall be eligible to be seated as a director of the

Corporation unless nominated in accordance with Section 2.5 and this Section 2.6 and elected as a director.

2.7 Notice of

Stockholders’ Meetings.

Unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the

notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be sent or otherwise given in accordance with Section 8.1 of these bylaws not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to

vote at such meeting. The notice shall specify the place, if any, date and time of the meeting, the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and,

in the case of a special meeting of stockholders, the purpose or purposes for which such meeting is called.

2.8 Quorum.

Unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the holders of at least a majority in voting power of the

stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person, or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of stockholders. A quorum, once

established at a meeting, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum. If, however, a quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of stockholders, then either (i) the person presiding over the

meeting or (ii) a majority in voting power of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person, or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, shall have power to recess the meeting or adjourn the meeting

from time to time in the manner provided in Section 2.9 of these bylaws until a quorum is present or represented. At any recessed or adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have

been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.

10

2.9 Adjourned Meeting; Notice.

When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, unless these bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting

if the time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the

adjournment is taken or are provided in any other manner permitted by the DGCL. At any adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty

(30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned

meeting, the Board shall fix as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and

shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

2.10 Conduct of Business.

The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be

announced at the meeting by the person presiding over the meeting. The Board may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such

rules and regulations as adopted by the Board, the person presiding over any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to convene and (for any or no reason) to recess and/or adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations

and procedures (which need not be in writing) and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such presiding person, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board or

prescribed by the person presiding over the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting

and the safety of those present (including, without limitation, rules and procedures for removal of disruptive persons from the meeting); (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders entitled to vote at the

meeting, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the person presiding over the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and

(v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. The presiding person at any meeting of stockholders, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting (including,

without limitation, determinations with respect to the administration and/or interpretation of any of the rules, regulations or procedures of the meeting, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the person presiding over the meeting), shall,

if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a matter of business was not properly brought before the meeting and if such presiding person should so determine, such presiding person shall so declare to the meeting and any such

matter or business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted or considered. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board or the person presiding over the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in

accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

2.11 Voting.

Except as may be otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any Certificate of Designation relating to any class or series of

preferred stock then in effect, these bylaws or the DGCL, each stockholder shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder.

11

Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, at all duly called or

convened meetings of stockholders at which a quorum is present, for the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect a director. Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, these bylaws, the

rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, or applicable law or pursuant to any regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities, each other matter presented to the stockholders at a duly called or convened

meeting at which a quorum is present shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes) on such matter.

2.12 Record Date for Stockholder Meetings and Other Purposes.

In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any

adjournment thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more

than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If the Board so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board

determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled

to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the close of business on the next day preceding the day on which notice is first given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the

meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for determination of

stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting; and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders

entitled to vote in accordance herewith at the adjourned meeting.

In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled

to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment or any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of capital stock, or for the purposes of any other lawful

action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no record

date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

2.13 Proxies.

Each

stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing or by a transmission permitted by law, including Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years

from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL. A proxy may be in the form of an electronic

transmission which sets forth or is submitted with information from which it can be determined that the transmission was authorized by the stockholder.

12

2.14 List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote.

The Corporation shall prepare, no later than the tenth day before each meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled

to vote at the meeting (provided, however, that if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the

tenth day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The Corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail

addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of ten (10) days ending on the day before the meeting date:

(i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided, that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the Corporation’s principal

executive office. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. Such

list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them. Except as otherwise provided by law, the stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the

stockholders entitled to examine the list of stockholders required by this Section 2.14 or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

2.15 Inspectors of Election.

Before any meeting of stockholders, the Corporation shall appoint an inspector or inspectors of election to act at the meeting or its

adjournment and make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If any person appointed as inspector or any alternate fails to appear or fails or

refuses to act, then the person presiding over the meeting shall appoint a person to fill that vacancy.

Such inspectors shall:

(a) determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the number of shares represented at the meeting and the validity

of any proxies and ballots;

(b) count all votes or ballots;

(c) count and tabulate all votes;

(d) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspector(s);

and

(e) certify its or their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and its or their count of all votes and

ballots.

Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of the duties of inspector, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute

the duties of inspection with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector’s ability. Any report or certificate made by the inspectors of election is prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. The inspectors of

election may appoint such persons to assist them in performing their duties as they determine.

13

2.16 Delivery to the Corporation.

Whenever this Article II requires one or more persons (including a record or beneficial owner of stock) to deliver a document or information

to the Corporation or any officer, employee or agent thereof (including any notice, request, questionnaire, revocation, representation or other document or agreement), such document or information shall be in writing exclusively (and not in an

electronic transmission) and shall be delivered exclusively by hand (including, without limitation, overnight courier service) or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and the Corporation shall not be required to accept delivery

of any document not in such written form or so delivered. For the avoidance of doubt, the Corporation expressly opts out of Section 116 of the DGCL with respect to the delivery of information and documents to the Corporation required by this

Article II.

relating thereto shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board, or the committee thereof, in the same paper or electronic form as the minutes are maintained. Such action by written consent or consent by electronic transmission

or execute any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation; such authority may be general or confined to specific instances.

shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation shall be uncertificated. Certificates for the shares of stock, if any, shall be in such form as is consistent with the Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law. Every holder of stock

Chairperson or Vice Chairperson of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, the President, Vice President, the Treasurer, any Assistant Treasurer, the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Corporation shall be specifically authorized to sign stock

certificates. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer

agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he or she were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

The Corporation may issue the whole or any part of its shares as partly paid and subject to call for the remainder of the consideration to be

paid therefor. Upon the face or back of each stock certificate issued to represent any such partly paid shares, or upon the books and records of the Corporation in the case of uncertificated partly paid shares, the total amount of the consideration

to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon shall be stated. Upon the declaration of any dividend on fully paid shares, the Corporation shall declare a dividend upon partly paid shares of the same class, but only upon the basis of the percentage

of the consideration actually paid thereon.

7.3 Special Designation of Certificates.

If the Corporation is authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, then the powers, the

designations, the preferences and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full

or summarized on the face or on the back of the certificate that the Corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock (or, in the case of uncertificated shares, set

19

forth in a notice provided pursuant to Section 151 of the DGCL); provided, however, that except as otherwise provided in Section 202 of the DGCL, in lieu of the foregoing requirements,

there may be set forth on the face or back of the certificate that the Corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock (or, in the case of any uncertificated shares, included in the aforementioned notice) a statement that the

Corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, the designations, the preferences and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the

qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.

7.4 Lost Certificates.

Except as provided in this Section 7.4, no new certificates for shares shall be issued to replace a previously issued certificate unless

the latter is surrendered to the Corporation and cancelled at the same time. The Corporation may issue a new certificate of stock or uncertificated shares in the place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen or

destroyed, and the Corporation may require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or such owner’s legal representative, to give the Corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it on

account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares.

The

Board, subject to any restrictions contained in either (i) the DGCL, (ii) the Certificate of Incorporation or (iii) any certificate of designation relating to any class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation then in effect,

may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of its capital stock. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property or in shares of the Corporation’s capital stock.

The Board may set apart out of any of the funds of the Corporation available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose and

may abolish any such reserve. Such purposes shall include but not be limited to equalizing dividends, repairing or maintaining any property of the Corporation, and meeting contingencies.

7.8 Fiscal Year.

The

fiscal year of the Corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the Board and may be changed by the Board.

20

7.9 Seal.

The Corporation may adopt a corporate seal, which shall be adopted and which may be altered by the Board. The Corporation may use the

corporate seal by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or in any other manner reproduced.

7.10 Transfer of

Stock.

Shares of the Corporation shall be transferable in the manner prescribed by law and in these bylaws. Shares of stock of the

Corporation shall be transferred on the books of the Corporation only by the holder of record thereof or by such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender to the Corporation of the certificate or certificates representing

such shares endorsed by the appropriate person or persons (or by delivery of duly executed instructions with respect to uncertificated shares), with such evidence of the authenticity of such endorsement or execution, transfer, authorization and

other matters as the Corporation may reasonably require, and accompanied by all necessary stock transfer stamps. No transfer of stock shall be valid as against the Corporation for any purpose until it shall have been entered in the stock records of

the Corporation by an entry showing the names of the persons from and to whom it was transferred.

7.11 Stock Transfer

Agreements.

The Corporation shall have power to enter into and perform any agreement with any number of stockholders of any one or

more classes or series of stock of the Corporation to restrict the transfer of shares of stock of the Corporation of any one or more classes owned by such stockholders in any manner not prohibited by the DGCL.

7.12 Registered Stockholders.

The Corporation:

(a) shall be

entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends and to vote as such owner; and

(b) shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of another person, whether

or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Delaware.

7.13 Waiver

of Notice.

Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws,

a written waiver, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to notice.

Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the

meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission

unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws.

21

Article VIII - Notice

8.1 Delivery of Notice; Notice by Electronic Transmission.

Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the

Corporation under any provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these bylaws may be given in writing directed to the stockholder’s mailing address (or by electronic transmission directed to the stockholder’s electronic

mail address, as applicable) as it appears on the records of the Corporation and shall be given (1) if mailed, when the notice is deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, (2) if delivered by courier service, the earlier of when the

notice is received or left at such stockholder’s address or (3) if given by electronic mail, when directed to such stockholder’s electronic mail address unless the stockholder has notified the Corporation in writing or by electronic

transmission of an objection to receiving notice by electronic mail. A notice by electronic mail must include a prominent legend that the communication is an important notice regarding the Corporation.

Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the

Corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be

revocable by the stockholder by written notice or electronic transmission to the Corporation. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, the Corporation may give a notice by electronic mail in accordance with the first paragraph of this

section without obtaining the consent required by this paragraph.

Any notice given pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall be deemed

given:

(a)

if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive

notice;

(b)

if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific

posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and

(c)

if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a notice may not be given by an electronic transmission from and after the time that (1) the Corporation

is unable to deliver by such electronic transmission two (2) consecutive notices given by the Corporation and (2) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other

person responsible for the giving of notice, provided, however, the inadvertent failure to discover such inability shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been

given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

22

Article IX - Indemnification

9.1 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it presently exists or may hereafter be

amended, any director or officer of the Corporation who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a

“Proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, is

or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership (a “covered person”), joint venture, trust, enterprise or

non-profit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines ERISA excise taxes or

penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any such Proceeding. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.4, the Corporation shall be required to

The Corporation shall have the power to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists

or may hereafter be amended, any employee or agent of the Corporation who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any Proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal

representative, is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any such Proceeding.

9.3 Prepayment of Expenses.

The Corporation shall to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by

any covered person, and may pay the expenses incurred by any employee or agent of the Corporation, in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition

of the Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article IX or otherwise.

9.4 Determination; Claim.

If a claim for indemnification (following the final disposition of such Proceeding) under this Article IX is not paid in full within sixty

(60) days, or a claim for advancement of expenses under this Article IX is not paid in full within thirty (30) days, after a written claim therefor has been received by the Corporation the claimant may thereafter (but not before) file suit

to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim to the fullest extent permitted by law. In any such action the Corporation shall have the burden of

proving that the claimant was not entitled to the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under applicable law.

23

9.5 Non-Exclusivity of Rights.

The rights conferred on any person by this Article IX shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter

acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, these bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of

another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust enterprise or non-profit entity against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his

or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of the DGCL.

9.7 Other Indemnification.

The Corporation’s obligation, if any, to indemnify or advance expenses to any person who was or is serving at its request as a director,

officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit entity shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification or advancement of

expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit enterprise.

9.8 Continuation of Indemnification.

The rights to indemnification and to prepayment of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article IX shall continue

notwithstanding that the person has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors, administrators, legatees and distributees of such person.

9.9 Amendment or Repeal; Interpretation.

The provisions of this Article IX shall constitute a contract between the Corporation, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, each

individual who serves or has served as a director or officer of the Corporation (whether before or after the adoption of these bylaws), in consideration of such person’s performance of such services, and pursuant to this Article IX the

Corporation intends to be legally bound to each such current or former director or officer of the Corporation. With respect to current and former directors and officers of the Corporation, the rights conferred under this Article IX are present

contractual rights and such rights are fully vested, and shall be deemed to have vested fully, immediately upon adoption of theses bylaws. With respect to any directors or officers of the Corporation who commence service following adoption of these

bylaws, the rights conferred under this provision shall be present contractual rights and such rights shall fully vest, and be deemed to have vested fully, immediately upon such director or officer commencing service as a director or officer of the

Corporation. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article IX shall not adversely affect any right or protection (i) hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal

or modification or (ii) under any agreement providing for indemnification or advancement of expenses to an officer or director of the Corporation in effect prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

24

Any reference to an officer of the Corporation in this Article IX shall be deemed to refer

exclusively to the Chief Executive Officer, President, and Secretary, or other officer of the Corporation appointed by (x) the Board pursuant to Article V of these bylaws or (y) an officer to whom the Board has delegated the power to

appoint officers pursuant to Article V of these bylaws, and any reference to an officer of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be deemed to refer exclusively to an officer

appointed by the Board (or equivalent governing body) of such other entity pursuant to the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or equivalent organizational documents) of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee

benefit plan or other enterprise. The fact that any person who is or was an employee of the Corporation or an employee of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise has been given or has used

the title of “Vice President” or any other title that could be construed to suggest or imply that such person is or may be an officer of the Corporation or of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit

plan or other enterprise shall not result in such person being constituted as, or being deemed to be, an officer of the Corporation or of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise for

purposes of this Article IX.

Article X - Amendments

The Board is expressly empowered to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation. The stockholders also shall have power to adopt,

amend or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation; provided, however, that such action by stockholders shall require, in addition to any other vote required by the Certificate of Incorporation or applicable law, the affirmative vote of the holders of at

least two-thirds of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of voting stock of the Corporation with the power to vote generally in an election of directors, voting together as a single class.

to resign or otherwise terminate such service with immediate effect at any time, and neither such resignation or termination nor the length of such service shall affect Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. This Agreement shall not

applicable law in effect on the date hereof or as amended to increase the scope of permitted indemnification, against all Expenses, losses, and liabilities (including all interest, taxes, assessments and other charges in connection therewith)

incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with any Proceeding or part thereof in any way connected with, resulting from or relating to Indemnitee’s Corporate Status.

(b) Additional Indemnification Rights Regarding Enforcement Expenses. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event any Proceeding is

initiated by Indemnitee, the Company, or any other person to enforce or interpret this Agreement or any rights of Indemnitee to indemnification or advancement of Expenses (or related obligations of Indemnitee) under the Company’s or any such

subsidiary’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws, or other organizational agreement or instrument, any other agreement to which Indemnitee and the Company or any of its subsidiaries are party, any vote of stockholders or directors of the

Company or any of its subsidiaries, the DGCL, any other applicable law, or any liability insurance policy, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such

Proceeding in proportion to the success achieved by Indemnitee in such Proceeding and the efforts required to obtain such success, as determined by the court presiding over such Proceeding.

(c) Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for a

portion of any Expenses, losses and liabilities incurred by Indemnitee, but not for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for such portion.

(d) Nonexclusivity. The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights to which Indemnitee may

be entitled under the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational agreement or instrument of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, any other agreement, any vote of stockholders or directors, the DGCL, any other applicable law or

any liability insurance policy.

(e) Exceptions. Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not

be obligated under this Agreement to indemnify Indemnitee:

(i) For Expenses incurred in connection with Proceedings

initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, counterclaim or crossclaim, except (x) as contemplated by Section 3(b) hereof, (y) in specific cases if the Board has approved the initiation or

bringing of such Proceeding, and (z) as may be required by law.

(ii) For an accounting or disgorgement of

profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or any similar provisions of any federal, state or local law if the final,

non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction finds Indemnitee to be liable for disgorgement under such Section 16(b).

4

(iii) For any compensation disgorged by a director or officer pursuant to an

enforcement action under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or for violations of Regulation BTR.

(iv) On account

of Indemnitee’s conduct that is established by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction as knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or constituting willful misconduct.

(v) For which payment is actually made to Indemnitee under a valid and collectible insurance policy or under a valid and

enforceable indemnity clause, bylaw or agreement, except in respect of any excess beyond payment actually received by Indemnitee under such insurance, clause, bylaw or agreement.

(vi) If and to the extent indemnification is prohibited by applicable law.

(f) Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of

the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute such documents and do such acts as the Company may reasonably request to secure such rights and to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

4. Advancement of Expenses.

The Company shall pay all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding in any way connected with, resulting from or

relating to Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, other than a Proceeding initiated by Indemnitee for which the Company would not be obligated to indemnify Indemnitee pursuant to Section 3(e)(i) hereof, in advance of the final disposition (in

accordance with Section 5(c) hereof) of such Proceeding and without regard to whether Indemnitee will ultimately be entitled to be indemnified for such Expenses and without regard to whether an Adverse Determination has been made, except as

contemplated by the last sentence of Section 5(f) hereof. The right to advances under this Section 4 shall in all events continue until final disposition of any Proceeding, including any appeal therein. Advances shall be made without

regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the expenses and without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other provisions of this Agreement. Indemnitee shall qualify for advances upon the execution and

delivery to the Company of this Agreement, and Indemnitee shall repay such amounts advanced only if and to the extent that it shall ultimately be determined in a decision by a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be taken that

Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company for such Expenses. The right to advancement described in this Section 4 is vested. Such repayment obligation shall be unsecured and shall not bear interest. The Company shall not

impose on Indemnitee additional conditions to advancement or require from Indemnitee additional undertakings regarding repayment.

5

5. Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Notice of Proceeding; Cooperation. Indemnitee shall give the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable, and in any event, no

later than 30 days after Indemnitee becomes aware, of any Proceeding for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement, provided that any failure or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Company of its

obligations under this Agreement unless and to the extent that (i) none of the Company and its subsidiaries are party to or aware of such Proceedings and (ii) the Company is materially prejudiced by such failure.

(b) Settlement. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, which consent may be withheld in

Indemnitee’s sole discretion, effect any settlement of any Proceeding against Indemnitee or which could have been brought against Indemnitee unless such settlement solely involves the payment of money by persons other than Indemnitee and

includes an unconditional release of Indemnitee from all liability on any matters that are the subject of such Proceeding and an acknowledgment that Indemnitee denies all wrongdoing in connection with such matters. The Company shall not be obligated

to indemnify Indemnitee against amounts paid in settlement of a Proceeding against Indemnitee if such settlement is effected by Indemnitee without the Company’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) Request for Payment; Timing of Payment. To obtain indemnification payments or advances under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall

submit to the Company a written request therefor, together with such invoices or other supporting information as may be reasonably requested by the Company and reasonably available to Indemnitee. The Company shall make any indemnification payments

to Indemnitee required hereunder no later than 30 days, and any advances to Indemnitee no later than 20 days, after receipt of the written request of Indemnitee.

(d) Determination. The Company intends that Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by law as provided in

Section 3 hereof and that no Determination shall be required in connection with such indemnification. In no event shall a Determination be required either in connection with advancement of Expenses pursuant to Section 4 hereof or in

connection with indemnification for Expenses incurred as a witness or incurred in connection with any Proceeding or portion thereof with respect to which Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise. Any decision that a Determination is

required by law in connection with any other claim for indemnification by Indemnitee, and any such Determination, shall be made within 30 days after receipt of Indemnitee’s written request for indemnification, as follows:

(i) If no Change in Control has occurred, (w) by a majority vote of the directors of the Company who are not

parties to such Proceeding, even though less than a quorum, with the advice of Independent Legal Counsel, or (x) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, with the

advice of Independent Legal Counsel, or (y) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by Independent Legal Counsel in a written opinion to the Company and Indemnitee, or (z) by the stockholders of the

Company.

(ii) If a Change in Control has occurred, by Independent Legal Counsel in a written opinion to the Company and

Indemnitee.

6

The Company shall pay all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with a Determination.

(e) Independent Legal Counsel. If no Change in Control has occurred, Independent Legal Counsel shall be selected by the Board and

approved by Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If a Change in Control has occurred, Independent Legal Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee and approved by the Company, which approval shall not be

unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Company shall pay the fees and expenses of Independent Legal Counsel and indemnify Independent Legal Counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities and damages

arising out of or relating to its engagement pursuant to this Agreement.

(f) Consequences of Determination; Remedies of

Indemnitee. The Company shall be bound by and shall have no right to challenge a Favorable Determination. If an Adverse Determination is made, or if for any other reason the Company does not make timely indemnification payments or advances of

Expenses, Indemnitee shall have the right to commence a Proceeding before a court of competent jurisdiction to challenge such Adverse Determination and/or to require the Company to make such payments or advances. Indemnitee shall be entitled to be

indemnified for all Expenses incurred in connection with such a Proceeding in accordance with Section 3(b) hereof and to have such Expenses advanced by the Company in accordance with Section 4 hereof. If Indemnitee fails to timely

challenge an Adverse Determination, or if Indemnitee challenges an Adverse Determination and such Adverse Determination has been upheld by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be taken, then, to the extent

and only to the extent required by such Adverse Determination or final judgment, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify or advance Expenses to Indemnitee under this Agreement.

(g) Presumptions; Burden and Standard of Proof. In connection with any Determination, or any review of any Determination, by any

person, including a court:

(i) It shall be a presumption that a Determination is not required.

(ii) It shall be a presumption that Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct and that indemnification of

Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances.

(iii) The burden of proof shall be on the Company to overcome the presumptions

set forth in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), and each such presumption shall only be overcome if the Company establishes that there is no reasonable basis to support it.

(iv) The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, finding, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or

conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that indemnification is not proper or that Indemnitee did not meet the applicable standard of conduct, that the Proceeding was not successful on

the merits or otherwise or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by this Agreement or otherwise.

7

(v) Neither the failure of any person or persons to have made a

Determination nor an Adverse Determination by any person or persons shall be a defense to Indemnitee’s claim or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet the applicable standard of conduct, and any Proceeding commenced by Indemnitee

pursuant to Section 5(f) hereof shall be de novo with respect to all determinations of fact and law.

6. Directors and

Officers Liability Insurance.

(a) Maintenance of Insurance. So long as the Company or any of its subsidiaries maintains

liability insurance for any directors, officers, employees or agents of any such person, the Company shall ensure that Indemnitee is covered by such insurance in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to

the most favorably insured of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ then current directors and officers. If at any date (i) such insurance ceases to cover acts and omissions occurring during all or any part of the period of

Indemnitee’s Corporate Status or (ii) neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries maintains any such insurance, the Company shall ensure that Indemnitee is covered, with respect to acts and omissions prior to such date, for at least

six years (or such shorter period as is available on commercially reasonable terms) from such date, by other directors and officers liability insurance, in amounts and on terms (including the portion of the period of Indemnitee’s Corporate

Status covered) no less favorable to Indemnitee than the amounts and terms of the liability insurance maintained by the Company on the date hereof.

(b) Notice to Insurers. Upon receipt of notice of a Proceeding pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof, the Company shall give or cause to

be given prompt notice of such Proceeding to all insurers providing liability insurance in accordance with the procedures set forth in all applicable or potentially applicable policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary action to cause

such insurers to pay all amounts payable in accordance with the terms of such policies.

7. [Reserved]

8. [Reserved]

9.

Miscellaneous.

(a) Non-Circumvention. The Company shall not seek or agree to any

order of any court or other governmental authority that would prohibit or otherwise interfere, and shall not take or fail to take any other action if such action or failure would reasonably be expected to have the effect of prohibiting or otherwise

interfering, with the performance of the Company’s indemnification, advancement or other obligations under this Agreement.

(b)

Severability. If any section or part of this Agreement shall be adjudged invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of the Agreement shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect.

(c) Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly

given (i) on the date of delivery if delivered personally, or by electronic mail or facsimile, upon confirmation of receipt, (ii) on the first business day following the date of dispatch if delivered by a recognized next-day courier service or (iii) on the third business day following the date of mailing if delivered by domestic registered or certified mail, properly addressed, or on the fifth business day following

the date of mailing if sent by airmail from a country outside of the United States of America, to Indemnitee at the address shown on the signature page of this Agreement, to the Company at the address shown on the signature page of this Agreement,

or in either case as subsequently modified by written notice.

8

(d) Amendment and Termination; Waivers. No amendment, modification, termination or

cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing signed by all the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or

not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

(e) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding

upon the Company and its respective successors and assigns, including without limitation any acquiror of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or business, any person (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that acquires beneficial ownership of securities of the Company representing more than 20% of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding Voting Securities and any survivor

of any merger or consolidation to which the Company is party, and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s estate, spouses, heirs, executors, personal or legal representatives, administrators and assigns.

The Company shall require and cause any such successor, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement as if it were named as the Company herein, and the Company shall

not permit any such purchase of assets or business, acquisition of securities or merger or consolidation to occur until such written agreement has been executed and delivered. No such assumption and agreement shall relieve the Company of any of its

obligations hereunder, and this Agreement shall not otherwise be assignable by the Company. This Agreement is personal in nature and neither of the parties hereto shall, without the consent of the other, assign or delegate this Agreement or any

rights or obligations. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, Indemnitee’s right to receive payments hereunder shall not be assignable, whether by pledge, creation of a security interest or otherwise, other than by a

transfer by Indemnitee’s will or by estate law, and, in the event of any attempted assignment or transfer contrary to this Section 9(e), the Company shall have no liability to pay any amount so attempted to be assigned or transferred.

(f) Choice of Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and its provisions construed in accordance with

the laws of the State of Delaware, as applied to contracts between Delaware residents entered into and to be performed entirely within Delaware, without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof. The Company and Indemnitee each hereby

irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware for all purposes in connection with any Proceeding which arises out of or relates to this Agreement and agrees that any action instituted under this Agreement shall be

brought only in the state courts of the State of Delaware.

9

(g) Integration and Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire

understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes and merges all previous written and oral negotiations, commitments, understandings and agreements relating to the subject matter hereof between the parties hereto, provided that the provisions

hereof shall not supersede the provisions of the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational agreement or instrument, any other agreement, any vote of stockholders or directors, the DGCL or other applicable law, to

the extent any such provisions shall be more favorable to Indemnitee than the provisions hereof.

(h) Counterparts. This Agreement

may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original.

amounts paid by the Committee in settlement thereof (provided, however, that the settlement has been approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) or paid by the Committee in satisfaction of a judgment in any

such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such Committee did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in the best

Committee shall, in writing, offer the Company the opportunity at its own expense to handle and defend such action, suit or proceeding.

exercise of Incentive Share Options. During the terms of the Awards, the Company shall keep available at all times the number of Common Shares required to satisfy such Awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by Applicable

Laws, Awards that provide for the delivery of Common Shares subsequent to the applicable grant date may be granted in excess of the share limits set forth in this paragraph if such Awards provide for the forfeiture of such Awards to the extent that

insufficient Common Shares remain at the time that the Common Shares would otherwise be issued in respect of such Award.

4.2 Common

Shares available for distribution under the Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares or shares reacquired by the Company in any manner.

4.3 Any Common Shares subject to an Award that is canceled, forfeited or expires prior to exercise or realization, either in full or in part,

shall again become available for issuance under the Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Common Shares subject to an Award under the Plan shall not again be made available for issuance or delivery under the Plan if such

to Employees, Consultants and Directors.

7

5.2 Ten Percent Shareholders. A Ten Percent Shareholder shall not be granted an

Incentive Share Option unless the Option Exercise Price is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Common Share at the Grant Date and the Option is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the Grant Date.

5.3 Section 162(m) Limitations. In no event shall Awards with respect to more than 600,000 Common Shares be granted to any Participant

in any fiscal year.

6. Option Provisions. Each Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Option so granted

shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 6, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. All

Options shall be separately designated Incentive Share Options or Non-qualified Share Options at the time of grant, and, if certificates are issued, a separate certificate or certificates will be issued for

Common Shares purchased on exercise of each type of Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no liability to any Participant or any other person if an Option designated as an Incentive Share Option fails to qualify as such at

any time or if an Option is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the terms of such Option do not satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

The provisions of separate Options need not be identical, but each Option shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Option or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

6.1 Term. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.2 regarding Ten

Percent Shareholders, no Incentive Share Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the Grant Date. The term of a Non- qualified Share Option granted under the Plan shall be determined

by the Committee; provided, however, no Non-qualified Share Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the Grant Date.

6.2 Exercise Price of An Incentive Share Option. Subject to the provisions of

Section 5.2 regarding Ten Percent Shareholders, the Option Exercise Price of each Incentive Share Option shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Common Share

subject to the Option on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Incentive Share Option may be granted with an Option Exercise Price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or

substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code.

6.3 Exercise Price of a Non-qualified Share Option. The Option Exercise Price of each Non-qualified Share Option shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Common Share subject to

the Option on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Non-qualified Share Option may be granted with an Option Exercise Price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such Option is

granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.

6.4 Consideration. The Option Exercise Price of a Common Share acquired pursuant to an Option shall be paid, to the extent permitted by

Applicable Laws, either (a) in cash or by certified or bank check at the time the Option is exercised; or (b) in the discretion of the Committee, upon such terms as the Committee shall approve, the Option Exercise Price may be paid:

(i) by reduction in the number of Common Shares otherwise deliverable upon exercise of such Option with a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Option Exercise Price at the time of exercise; (ii) in accordance with a cashless exercise

program established with a securities brokerage firm, or (iii) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Committee.

8

6.5 Transferability of An Incentive Share Option. An Incentive Share Option shall not

be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by the Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to

the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.

6.6 Transferability of a Non-qualified Share Option. A

Non-qualified Share Option may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be transferable for no consideration to a Permitted Transferee, upon written approval by the Committee to the extent provided in the

Award Agreement. If the Non-qualified Share Option does not provide for transferability, then the Non-qualified Share Option shall not be transferable except by will or

by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by the Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form

satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.

6.7 Vesting of Options. Each Option may, but need not, vest and therefore become exercisable in periodic installments that may, but

need not, be equal. The Option may be subject to such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may be exercised (which may be based on performance or other criteria) as the Committee may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of

individual Options may vary. No Option may be exercised for a fraction of a Common Share. The Committee may, but shall not be required to, provide for an acceleration of vesting and exercisability in the terms of any Award Agreement upon the

occurrence of a specified event.

6.8 Termination of Continuous Service. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement or in an

employment agreement the terms of which have been approved by the Committee, in the event an Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates (other than upon the Optionholder’s death or Disability), the Optionholder may exercise his or her

Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination) but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (a) the date three months following the termination of the

Optionholder’s Continuous Service; or (b) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Award Agreement; provided that, if the termination of Continuous Service is by the Company for Cause, all outstanding Options

(whether or not vested) shall immediately terminate and cease to be exercisable.

6.9 Extension of Termination Date. An

Optionholder’s Award Agreement may also provide that if the exercise of the Option following the termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service for any reason would be prohibited at any time because the issuance of Common Shares

would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act or any other Applicable Laws, then the Option shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the expiration of the term of the Option in accordance with

Section 6.1; or (b) the expiration of a period after termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service that is three months after the end of the period during which the

exercise of the Option would be in violation of such registration or other securities law requirements.

6.10 Disability

of Optionholder. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, in the event that an Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder’s Disability, the Optionholder may exercise his

or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination), but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (a) the date 12 months following such termination; or

(b) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Award Agreement. If, after termination, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein or in the Award Agreement, the Option shall

terminate.

9

6.11 Death of Optionholder. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, in the

event an Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder’s death, then the Option may be exercised (to the extent the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of death) by the

Optionholder’s estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated to exercise the Option upon the Optionholder’s death, but only within the period ending on the earlier

of (a) the date 12 months following the date of death; or (b) the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement. If, after the Optionholder’s death, the Option is not exercised within the time specified

herein or in the Award Agreement, the Option shall terminate.

6.12 Incentive Share Option $100,000 Limitation. To the extent that

the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time of grant) of a Common Share with respect to which Incentive Share Options are exercisable for the first time by any Optionholder during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its

Affiliates) exceeds U.S. $100,000, the Options or portions thereof which exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted in accordance with Section 422(d) of the Code) shall be treated as

Non-qualified Share Options.

7. Provisions of Awards Other Than Options.

7.1 Share Appreciation Rights.

(a) General. Each Share Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Share Appreciation

Right so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 7.1, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award

Agreement. Share Appreciation Rights may be granted alone or in tandem with an Option granted under the Plan.

(b) Grant

Requirements. Any Share Appreciation Right that relates to a Non-qualified Share Option may be granted at the same time the Option is granted or at any time thereafter but before the exercise or expiration

of the Option. Any Share Appreciation Right that relates to an Incentive Share Option must be granted at the same time the Incentive Share Option is granted.

(c) Term of Share Appreciation Rights. The term of a Share Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall be determined by the

Committee; provided, however, no Share Appreciation Right shall be exercisable later than the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date.

(d) Vesting of Share Appreciation Rights. Each Share Appreciation Right may, but need not, vest and therefore become exercisable in

periodic installments that may, but need not, be equal. The Share Appreciation Right may be subject to such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may be exercised as the Committee may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of

individual Share Appreciation Rights may vary. No Share Appreciation Right may be exercised for a fraction of a Common Share. The Committee may, but shall not be required to, provide for an acceleration of vesting and exercisability in the terms of

any Share Appreciation Right upon the occurrence of a specified event.

(e) Exercise. Upon exercise of a Share Appreciation Right,

the holder shall be entitled to receive from the Company an amount equal to the number of Common Shares subject to the Share Appreciation Right that is being exercised multiplied by the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on

the date the Award is exercised, over (ii) the exercise price specified in the Share Appreciation Right or related Option.

10

(f) Exercise Price. The exercise price of a Share Appreciation Right shall be

determined by the Committee, but shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of one Common Share on the Grant Date of such Share Appreciation Right. A Share Appreciation Right granted simultaneously with or subsequent to the grant of an

Option and in conjunction therewith or in the alternative thereto shall have the same exercise price as the related Option, shall be transferable only upon the same terms and conditions as the related Option, and shall be exercisable only to the

same extent as the related Option; provided, however, that a Share Appreciation Right, by its terms, shall be exercisable only when the Fair Market Value per Common Share subject to the Share Appreciation Right and related Option exceeds the

exercise price per share thereof and no Share Appreciation Rights may be granted in tandem with an Option unless the Committee determines that the requirements of Section 7.1(b) are

satisfied.

7.2 Restricted Awards.

(a) General. A Restricted Award is an Award of actual Common Shares (“Restricted Share”) or hypothetical Common

Share units (“Restricted Share Units”) having a value equal to the Fair Market Value of an identical number of Common Shares, which may, but need not, provide that such Restricted Award may not be sold, assigned, transferred or

otherwise disposed of, pledged or hypothecated as collateral for a loan or as security for the performance of any obligation or for any other purpose for such period (the “Restricted Period”) as the Committee shall

determine. Each Restricted Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Restricted Award so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this

Section 7.2, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement.

(b) Restricted Share and Restricted Share Units.

(i)

Each Participant granted Restricted Share shall execute and deliver to the Company an Award Agreement with

respect to the Restricted Share setting forth the restrictions and other terms and conditions applicable to such Restricted Share. If the Committee determines that the Restricted Share shall be held by the Company or in escrow rather than delivered

to the Participant pending the release of the applicable restrictions, the Committee may require the Participant to additionally execute and deliver to the Company (A) an escrow agreement satisfactory to the Committee, if applicable; and (B)

the appropriate blank share power with respect to the Restricted Share covered by such agreement. If a Participant fails to execute an agreement evidencing an Award of Restricted Share and, if applicable, an escrow agreement and Share power, the

Award shall be null and void. Subject to the restrictions set forth in the Award, the Participant generally shall have the rights and privileges of a shareholder as to such Restricted Share, including the right to vote such Restricted Share and the

right to receive dividends; provided however that dividends (other than share dividends to be issued pursuant to Section 11) may accrue but shall not be paid prior to the time, and only to the extent

that, the restrictions on the Common Shares subject to the Restricted Share to which it relates lapses.

(ii)

The terms and conditions of a grant of Restricted Share Units shall be reflected in an Award Agreement. No

Common Shares shall be issued at the time a Restricted Share Unit is granted, and the Company will not be required to set aside a fund for the payment of any such Award. A Participant shall have no voting rights with respect to any Restricted Share

Units granted hereunder. At the discretion of the Committee, each

11

Restricted Share Unit (representing one Common Share) may be credited with cash paid by the Company in respect of one Common Share (“Dividend Equivalents”). Dividend

Equivalents shall be paid only upon the vesting of a Restricted Share Unit and in accordance with Section 409A of the Code if paid to a tax resident of the United States.

(c) Restrictions.

(i)

Restricted Share awarded to a Participant shall be subject to the following restrictions until the expiration

of the Restricted Period, and to such other terms and conditions as may be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement: (A) if an escrow arrangement is used, the Participant shall not be entitled to delivery of the share certificate;

(B) the shares shall be subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in the Award Agreement; (C) the shares shall be subject to forfeiture to the extent provided in the applicable Award Agreement; and (D) to the extent

such shares are forfeited, the share certificates shall be returned to the Company, and all rights of the Participant to such shares and as a shareholder with respect to such shares shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the

Company.

(ii)

Restricted Share Units awarded to any Participant shall be subject to (A) forfeiture until the expiration

of the Restricted Period, to the extent provided in the applicable Award Agreement, and to the extent such Restricted Share Units are forfeited, all rights of the Participant to such Restricted Share Units, including Dividend Equivalents, shall

terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company; and (B) such other terms and conditions as may be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

(iii)

The Committee shall have the authority to remove any or all of the restrictions on the Restricted Share,

Restricted Share Units whenever it may determine that, by reason of changes in Applicable Laws or other changes in circumstances arising after the date the Restricted Share or Restricted Share Units are granted, such action is appropriate.

(d) Restricted Period. With respect to Restricted Awards, the Restricted Period shall commence on the Grant Date

and end at the time or times set forth on a schedule established by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement. No Restricted Award may be granted or settled for a fraction of a Common Share. The Committee may, but shall not be required to,

provide for an acceleration of vesting in the terms of any Award Agreement upon the occurrence of a specified event.

(e) Delivery of

Restricted Shares; Settlement of Restricted Share Units. Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any Restricted Shares, the restrictions set forth in

Section 7.2(c) and the applicable Award Agreement shall be of no further force or effect with respect to such shares, except as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. If an

escrow arrangement is used, upon such expiration, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his or her beneficiary, without charge, the share certificate evidencing the Restricted Shares which have not then been forfeited and with respect to

which the Restricted Period has expired (to the nearest full share) and any cash dividends or share dividends credited to the Participant’s account with respect to such Restricted Shares and the interest thereon, if any. Upon the expiration of

the Restricted Period with respect to any outstanding Restricted Share Units unless payment is further deferred in compliance with Applicable Laws including, but not limited to Section 409A of the Code, the Company shall deliver to the

Participant, or his or her beneficiary, without charge, one Common Share for each outstanding vested Restricted Share Unit and cash equal to any Dividend Equivalents credited with respect to each such vested Restricted Share Unit in accordance with

12

Section 7.2(b)(ii) hereof and the interest thereon or, at the discretion of the Committee, in Common Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to

such Dividend Equivalents and the interest thereon, if any; provided, however, that, if explicitly provided in the applicable Award Agreement, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay cash or part cash and part Common Shares in

lieu of delivering only Common Shares for vested Restricted Share Units. If a cash payment is made in lieu of delivering Common Shares, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of a Common Share as of the date on which the

Restricted Period lapsed in the case of Restricted Share Units.

(f) Share Restrictions. Each certificate representing Restricted

Share awarded under the Plan shall bear a legend in such form as the Company deems appropriate.

(g) Performance Awards.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, during any period when Section 162(m) of the Code is applicable to the Company and the Plan, Restricted Awards may be granted at the sole discretion of the Committee, by the Committee in a manner

which is deductible by the Company under Section 162(m) of the Code. A Participant’s Performance Award shall be determined based on the attainment of written Performance Goals, which must be objective and approved by the Committee for a

performance period of between one and five years established by the Committee (I) while the outcome for that performance period is substantially uncertain and (II) no more than 90 days after the commencement of the performance period to

which the Performance Goal relates or, if less, the number of days which is equal to 25% of the relevant performance period. The Committee shall determine whether, with respect to a performance period, the applicable Performance Goals have been met

with respect to a given Participant and, if they have, to so certify and ascertain the amount of the applicable Performance Award. No Performance Awards will be issued for such performance period until such certification is made by the Committee.

The number Common Shares issued in respect of a Performance Award to a given Participant may be less than the amount determined by the applicable Performance Goal formula, at the discretion of the Committee. The number of Common Shares issued in

respect of a Performance Award determined by the Committee for a performance period shall be paid to the Participant at such time as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion after the end of such performance period and any dividends (other

than share dividends to be issued pursuant to Section 11) or dividend equivalents that accrue shall only be paid in respect of the number of Common Shares earned in respect of a Performance Award.

8. Securities Law Compliance. Each Award Agreement shall provide that no Common Shares shall be purchased or sold thereunder unless and until

(a) any then Applicable Laws have been fully complied with to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel; and (b) if required to do so by the Company, the Participant has executed and delivered to the Company a letter of investment

intent in such form and containing such provisions as the Committee may require. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required

to grant Awards and to issue and sell Common Shares upon exercise of the Awards; provided, however, that this undertaking shall not require the Company to register the Common Shares, the Plan or any Award under the Securities Act with the U.S

Securities and Exchange Commission or with any state securities commission or stock exchange or under any other Applicable Laws. If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the

authority which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of Common Shares under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell Common Shares upon exercise of such Awards

unless and until such authority is obtained.

9. Use of Proceeds from Shares. Proceeds from the sale of Common Shares pursuant to Awards, or upon

exercise thereof, shall constitute general funds of the Company.

13

10. Miscellaneous.

10.1 Acceleration of Exercisability and Vesting. The Committee shall have the power to accelerate the time at which an Award may first

be exercised or the time during which an Award or any part thereof will vest in accordance with the Plan, notwithstanding the provisions in the Award stating the time at which it may first be exercised or the time during which it will vest.

10.2 Shareholder Rights. Except as provided in the Plan or an Award Agreement, no Participant shall be deemed to be the holder of, or

to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any Common Shares subject to such Award unless and until such Participant has satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Award pursuant to its terms and no adjustment shall be made for

dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distributions of other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such Common Shares are issued, except as provided in

Section 11 hereof. Any dividends or dividend equivalents shall in all events be subject to the same vesting and forfeiture restrictions as apply to the Award to which they relate.

10.3 No Employment or Other Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan or any instrument executed or Award granted pursuant thereto shall

confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Award was granted or shall affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (a) the employment of an

Employee with or without notice and with or without Cause; or (b) the service of a Director pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company or an Affiliate, and any applicable

provisions of the corporate law of the state in which the Company or the Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may be.

10.4 Transfer;

Approved Leave of Absence. For purposes of the Plan, no termination of employment by an Employee shall be deemed to result from either (a) a transfer of employment to the Company from an Affiliate or from the Company to an Affiliate, or

from one Affiliate to another; or (b) an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Company, if the Employee’s right to reemployment is guaranteed either by a statute or by

contract or under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Committee otherwise so provides in writing, in either case, except to the extent inconsistent with Applicable Laws, including but not limited to

Section 409A of the Code if the applicable Award is subject thereto.

10.5 Withholding Obligations. To the extent provided by

the terms of an Award Agreement and subject to the discretion of the Committee, the Participant may satisfy any foreign, federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise or acquisition of Common Shares under an Award by

any of the following means (in addition to the Company’s right to withhold from any compensation paid to the Participant by the Company) or by a combination of such means: (a) tendering a cash payment; (b) authorizing the Company to

withhold Common Shares from the Common Shares otherwise issuable to the Participant as a result of the exercise or acquisition of Common Shares under the Award, provided, however, that no Common Shares are withheld with a value exceeding the

minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by Applicable Laws; or (c) delivering to the Company previously owned and unencumbered Common Shares of the Company.

14

11. Adjustments Upon Changes in Shares. In

the event of changes in the outstanding Common Shares or in the capital structure of the Company by reason of any share or extraordinary cash dividend, share split, reverse share split, an extraordinary corporate transaction such as any

recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange, or other relevant change in capitalization occurring after the Grant Date of any Award, Awards granted under the Plan and any Award Agreements, the exercise price of

Options and Share Appreciation Rights, the maximum number of Common Shares subject to all Awards stated in Section 4 will be equitably adjusted or substituted, as to the number,

price or kind of a Common Share or other consideration subject to such Awards to the extent necessary to preserve the economic intent of such Award. In the case of adjustments made pursuant to this

Section 11, unless the Committee specifically determines that such adjustment is in the best interests of the Company or its Affiliates, the Committee shall, in the case of Incentive Share

Options, ensure that any adjustments under this Section 11 will not constitute a modification, extension or renewal of the Incentive Share Options within the meaning of

Section 424(h)(3) of the Code and in the case of Non-qualified Share Options, ensure that any adjustments under this Section 11 will not

constitute a modification of such Non-qualified Share Options within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and shall be made in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code for Performance Awards.

The Company shall give each Participant notice of an adjustment hereunder and, upon notice, such adjustment shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

12. Effect of Corporate Transaction.

12.1 The obligations of the Company under the Plan and the Award Agreements shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization

resulting from the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor corporation or organization succeeding to all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Company and its Affiliates, taken as a whole

(a “Corporate Transaction”).

12.2 In the event of a Corporate Transaction, the Board may take one or more of the following

actions with respect to Options and Share Appreciation Rights: (i) make appropriate provision for the continuation of the Option or Share Appreciation Right by substituting on an equitable basis for the Common Shares then subject to such Option

or Share Appreciation Right either the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding Common Shares in connection with the Corporate Transaction or securities of any successor or acquiring entity; (ii) require that Participants surrender

their outstanding Options or Share Appreciation Rights in exchange for a payment by the Company, in cash or Common Shares as determined by the Board, in an amount equal to the amount by which the then Fair Market Value of the Common Shares subject

to such vested Option or Share Appreciation Right exceeds the Exercise Price; or (iii) after giving Participants an opportunity to exercise to the extent vested their outstanding Options or Share Appreciation Rights, terminate any or all

unexercised Options and Share Appreciation Rights at such time as the Board deems appropriate. Such surrender or termination shall take place as of the date of the Corporate Transaction or such other date as the Board may specify.

12.3 In the event of a Corporate Transaction with respect to outstanding Restricted Awards, the Board, shall make appropriate provision for

the continuation of such Restricted Awards on the same terms and conditions by substituting on an equitable basis for the Common Shares then subject to such Restricted Awards either the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding Common

Shares in connection with the Corporate Transaction or securities of any successor or acquiring entity. In lieu of the foregoing, in connection with any Corporate Transaction, the Board may provide that, upon consummation of the Corporate

Transaction, each outstanding Restricted Award shall be terminated in exchange for payment of an amount equal to the consideration payable upon consummation of such Corporate Transaction to a holder of the number of Common Shares comprising such

Restricted Award to then extent then vested.

15

13. Amendment of the Plan and Awards.

13.1 Amendment of Plan. The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend or terminate the Plan.

However, except as provided in Section 11 relating to adjustments upon changes in Common Shares and Section 13.3, no

amendment shall be effective unless approved by the shareholders of the Company to the extent shareholder approval is necessary to satisfy any Applicable Laws. At the time of such amendment, the Board shall determine, upon advice from counsel,

whether such amendment will be contingent on shareholder approval.

13.2 Shareholder Approval. The Board may, in its sole

discretion, submit any other amendment to the Plan for shareholder approval, including, but not limited to, amendments to the Plan intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code regarding the exclusion of performance-based

compensation from the limit on corporate deductibility of compensation paid to certain executive officers. Other than as set forth in Section 12 of the Plan, the Board may not without shareholder approval reduce the exercise price

of a share option or share appreciation right or cancel any outstanding Share Option or Share Appreciation Right Award in exchange for a replacement Award having a lower exercise price, any other Award or for cash. In addition, the Board shall not

take any other action that is considered a direct or indirect “repricing” for purposes of the shareholder approval rules of the applicable securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Common Shares are listed,

including any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles.

13.3 Contemplated

Amendments. It is expressly contemplated that the Board may amend the Plan in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable to provide eligible Employees, Consultants and Directors with the maximum benefits provided or to be provided under

the provisions of the Code relating to Incentive Share Options or to the nonqualified deferred compensation provisions of Section 409A of the Code and/or to bring the Plan and/or Awards granted under it into compliance therewith.

13.4 No Impairment of Rights. Rights under any Award granted before amendment of the Plan shall not adversely affect the

Participant’s material rights by any amendment of the Plan unless (a) the Company requests the consent of the Participant; and (b) the Participant consents in writing.

13.5 Amendment of Awards. The Committee at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of any one or more Awards; provided,

however, that the Committee may not affect any amendment which would adversely affect the Participant’s material rights under any Award unless (a) the Company requests the consent of the Participant; and (b) the Participant

consents in writing. In the case of any Performance Award, the Committee may adjust downwards, but not upwards, the number of Common Shares payable pursuant to a Performance Award, and the Committee may not waive the achievement of the applicable

Performance Goals except in the case of death or disability of the Participant.

14. General Provisions.

14.1 Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional

compensation arrangements, subject to shareholder approval if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

14.2 Unfunded Plan. The Plan shall be unfunded. Neither the Company, the Board nor the Committee shall be required to establish any

special or separate fund or to segregate any assets to assure the performance of its obligations under the Plan.

14.3

Recapitalizations and Reorganizations. Each Award Agreement shall contain provisions required to reflect the provisions of Sections 11 and 12.

16

14.4 Delivery. Upon exercise of a right granted under this Plan, the Company shall

issue Common Shares or pay any amounts due within a reasonable period of time thereafter. Subject to any statutory or regulatory obligations the Company may otherwise have, for purposes of this Plan, 30 days shall be considered a reasonable

period of time.

14.5 No Fractional Shares. No fractional Common Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan. The

Committee shall determine whether cash, additional Awards or other securities or property shall be issued or paid in lieu of fractional Common Shares or whether any fractional shares should be rounded, forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

14.6 Other Provisions. The Award Agreements authorized under the Plan may contain such other provisions not inconsistent with this

Plan, including, without limitation, restrictions upon the exercise of the Awards, as the Committee may deem advisable.

14.7 Section

409A. The Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith. Any payments

described in the Plan that are due within the “short-term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless Applicable Laws require otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to

the contrary in the Plan, to the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to the Plan during

the 6 month period immediately following the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service shall instead be paid on the first payroll date after the 6 month anniversary of the Participant’s separation from service (or the

Participant’s death, if earlier). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Committee shall have any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any excise tax or penalty on any Participant under

Section 409A of the Code and neither the Company nor the Committee will have any liability to any Participant for such tax or penalty.

14.8 Disqualifying Dispositions. Any Participant who shall make a “disposition” (as defined in Section 424 of the

Code) of all or any portion of Common Shares acquired upon exercise of an Incentive Share Option within two years from the Grant Date of such Incentive Share Option or within one year after the issuance of the Common Shares acquired upon exercise of

such Incentive Share Option (a “Disqualifying Disposition”) shall be required to immediately advise the Company in writing as to the occurrence of the sale and the price realized upon the sale of such Common Shares.

14.9 Section 16. It is the intent of the Company that the Plan satisfy, and be interpreted in a manner that satisfies, the applicable

requirements of Rule 16b-3 as promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act so that Participants will be entitled to the benefit of Rule 16b-3, or any other rule

promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and will not be subject to short-swing liability under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, if the operation of any provision of the Plan would conflict with the intent expressed in

this Section 14.9 such provision to the extent possible shall be interpreted and/or deemed amended so as to avoid such conflict.

14.10 Beneficiary Designation. Each Participant under the Plan may from time to time name any beneficiary or beneficiaries by whom any

right under the Plan is to be exercised in case of such Participant’s death. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form reasonably prescribed by the Committee and shall be effective only

when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant’s lifetime.

17

14.11 Expenses. The costs of administering the Plan shall be paid by the Company.

14.12 Severability. If any of the provisions of the Plan or any Award Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,

whether in whole or in part, such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability and the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby.

14.13 Plan Headings. The headings in the Plan are for purposes of convenience only and are not intended to define or limit the

construction of the provisions hereof.

14.14 Non-Uniform Treatment. The Committee’s

determinations under the Plan need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among persons who are eligible to receive, or actually receive, Awards. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall be entitled to make non- uniform and selective determinations, amendments and adjustments, and to enter into non-uniform and selective Award Agreements.

15. Effective Date of Plan. The Plan shall become effective as of the Effective Date, but no Award shall be exercised (or, in the case of a Restricted

Share Award, shall be granted) unless and until the Plan has been approved by the shareholders of the Company, which approval shall be within 12 months before or after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board.

16. Termination or Suspension of the Plan. The Plan shall terminate on December 10, 2024. No Award shall be granted pursuant to the Plan after

such date, but Awards theretofore granted may extend beyond that date. The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any earlier date pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof. No Awards may

be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.

17. Choice of Law. The applicable laws of the State of Delaware

shall govern all questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Plan unless this Plan so specifies the interpretation of other Applicable Laws then, in such case, those Applicable Laws shall govern.

18. Clawback. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan, the Company may recover from a Participant any compensation received

from any Award (whether or not vested or settled) or cause a Participant to forfeit any Award (whether or not vested) in the event that the Company’s Clawback Policy then in effect is triggered.

decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be final and binding on the Company and the Participants, unless such decisions are determined by a court having jurisdiction to be arbitrary and capricious.

3.3 Delegation. The Committee, or if no Committee has been appointed, the Board, may delegate administration of the Plan to a committee

or committees of one or more members of the Board, and the term “Committee” shall apply to any person or persons to whom such authority has been delegated. The Committee shall have the power to delegate to a subcommittee any of

the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and references in this Plan to the Board or the Committee shall thereafter be to the committee or subcommittee), subject, however, to Applicable Laws and such resolutions, not

inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board. The Board may abolish the Committee at any time and revest in the Board the administration of the Plan.

3.4 Indemnification. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as Directors or members of the Committee, and

to the extent allowed by Applicable Laws, the Committee shall be indemnified by the Company against the reasonable expenses, including attorney’s fees, actually incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding or in connection with

any appeal therein, to which the Committee may be party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan, and against all amounts paid by the Committee in settlement thereof

(provided, however, that the settlement has been approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) or paid by the Committee in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to

matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such Committee did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company, or in the case of a criminal

proceeding, had no reason to believe that the conduct complained of was unlawful; provided, however, that within 60 days after institution of any such action, suit or proceeding, such Committee shall, in writing, offer the Company the

opportunity at its own expense to handle and defend such action, suit or proceeding.

4. Shares Subject to the Plan.

4.1 Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 11, a total of (i) 30,950,000 Common Shares shall

be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan; plus (ii) the number of Common Shares underlying any awards under the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, that are forfeited, canceled or otherwise terminated (other than

by exercise or withheld by the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligation) on or after the Effective Date shall be added to the Common Shares available for issuance under (i) hereof; provided that no more than 30,950,000 Common Shares

may be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options. During the terms of the Awards, the Company shall keep available at all times the number of Common Shares required to satisfy such Awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent

permitted by Applicable Laws, Awards that provide for the delivery of Common Shares subsequent to the applicable grant date may be granted in excess of the share limits set forth in this paragraph if such Awards provide for the forfeiture of such

Awards to the extent that insufficient Common Shares remain at the time that the Common Shares would otherwise be issued in respect of such Award.

4.2 Common Shares available for distribution under the Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares, treasury

shares or shares reacquired by the Company in any manner.

4.3 Any Common Shares subject to an Award that is canceled, forfeited or

expires prior to exercise or realization, either in full or in part, shall again become available for issuance under the Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Common Shares subject to an Award under the Plan shall not

again be made available for issuance or delivery under the Plan if such Common Shares are (a) Common Shares tendered in payment of the exercise price of an Option; (b) Common Shares delivered or withheld by the Company to satisfy any tax

withholding obligation; (c) Common Shares covered by a share-settled Stock Appreciation Right or other Awards that were not issued upon the settlement of the Award, or (d) Common Shares repurchased by the Company on the open market with

the proceeds of the exercise price of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right.

5. Eligibility.

5.1 Eligibility for Specific Awards. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees who are tax residents of the United

States and shall not include Employees who are solely Officers and Directors. Awards other than Incentive Stock Options may be granted to Employees, Consultants and Directors.

5.2 Ten Percent Stockholder. A Ten Percent Stockholder shall not be granted an Incentive Stock Option unless the Option Exercise Price

is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Common Share at the Grant Date and the Option is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the Grant Date.

6. Option Provisions. Each Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Option so granted shall be subject to the

conditions set forth in this Section 6, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. All Options shall be separately designated Incentive Stock Options

or Non-qualified Stock Options at the time

7

of grant, and, if certificates are issued, a separate certificate or certificates will be issued for Common Shares purchased on exercise of each type of Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the

Company shall have no liability to any Participant or any other person if an Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option fails to qualify as such at any time or if an Option is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred

compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the terms of such Option do not satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The provisions of separate Options need not be identical, but each Option shall

include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Option or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

6.1 Term. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.2 regarding Ten Percent Stockholders, no

Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the Grant Date. The term of a Non-qualified Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee;

provided, however, no Non-qualified Stock Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the Grant Date.

6.2 Exercise Price of An Incentive Stock Option. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.2

regarding Ten Percent Stockholders, the Option Exercise Price of each Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Common Share subject to the Option on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Incentive

Stock Option may be granted with an Option Exercise Price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of

Section 424(a) of the Code.

6.3 Exercise Price of a Non-qualified Stock Option. The

Option Exercise Price of each Non-qualified Stock Option shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Common Share subject to the Option on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Non-qualified Stock Option may be granted with an Option Exercise Price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a

manner satisfying the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.

6.4 Consideration. The Option Exercise Price of a Common Share

acquired pursuant to an Option shall be paid, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, either (a) in cash or by certified or bank check at the time the Option is exercised; or (b) in the discretion of the Committee, upon such terms as

the Committee shall approve, the Option Exercise Price may be paid: (i) by reduction in the number of Common Shares otherwise deliverable upon exercise of such Option with a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Option Exercise Price at the

time of exercise; (ii) in accordance with a cashless exercise program established with a securities brokerage firm, or (iii) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Committee.

6.5 Transferability of An Incentive Stock Option. An Incentive Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of

descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by the Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the

Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.

6.6 Transferability of a Non-qualified Stock Option. A

Non-qualified Stock Option may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be transferable for no consideration to a Permitted Transferee, upon written approval by the Committee to the extent provided in the

Award Agreement. If the Non-qualified Stock

8

Option does not provide for transferability, then the Non-qualified Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and

distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by the Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company,

designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.

6.7

Vesting of Options. Each Option may, but need not, vest and therefore become exercisable in periodic installments that may, but need not, be equal. The Option may be subject to such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may

be exercised (which may be based on performance or other criteria) as the Committee may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of individual Options may vary. No Option may be exercised for a fraction of a Common Share. The Committee may, but

shall not be required to, provide for an acceleration of vesting and exercisability in the terms of any Award Agreement upon the occurrence of a specified event.

6.8 Termination of Continuous Service. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement or in an employment agreement the terms of which

have been approved by the Committee, in the event an Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates (other than upon the Optionholder’s death or Disability), the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the

Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination) but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (a) the date three months following the termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service; or

(b) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Award Agreement; provided that, if the termination of Continuous Service is by the Company for Cause, all outstanding Options (whether or not vested) shall immediately

terminate and cease to be exercisable.

6.9 Extension of Termination Date. An Optionholder’s Award Agreement may also provide

that if the exercise of the Option following the termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service for any reason would be prohibited at any time because the issuance of Common Shares would violate the registration requirements under the

Securities Act or any other Applicable Laws, then the Option shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the expiration of the term of the Option in accordance with Section 6.1; or (b) the expiration of a

period after termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service that is three months after the end of the period during which the exercise of the Option would be in violation of such registration or other securities law requirements.

6.10 Disability of Optionholder. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, in the event that an Optionholder’s

Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder’s Disability, the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination), but only

within such period of time ending on the earlier of (a) the date 12 months following such termination; or (b) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Award Agreement. If, after termination, the Optionholder does not

exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein or in the Award Agreement, the Option shall terminate.

6.11 Death of

Optionholder. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, in the event an Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder’s death, then the Option may be exercised (to the extent the Optionholder was

entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of death) by the Optionholder’s estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated to exercise the Option upon the

Optionholder’s death, but only within

9

the period ending on the earlier of (a) the date 12 months following the date of death; or (b) the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement. If, after

the Optionholder’s death, the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein or in the Award Agreement, the Option shall terminate.

6.12 Incentive Stock Option $100,000 Limitation. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time of grant)

of a Common Share with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Optionholder during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its Affiliates) exceeds U.S. $100,000, the Options or portions

thereof which exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted in accordance with Section 422(d) of the Code) shall be treated as Non-qualified Stock Options.

7. Provisions of Awards Other Than Options.

7.1 Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a) General. Each Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Stock

Appreciation Right so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 7.1, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. Stock

Appreciation Rights may be granted alone or in tandem with an Option granted under the Plan.

(b) Grant Requirements. Any Stock

Appreciation Right that relates to a Non-qualified Stock Option may be granted at the same time the Option is granted or at any time thereafter but before the exercise or expiration of the Option. Any Stock

Appreciation Right that relates to an Incentive Stock Option must be granted at the same time the Incentive Stock Option is granted.

(c)

Term of Stock Appreciation Rights. The term of a Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, no Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable later than the tenth anniversary

of the Grant Date.

(d) Vesting of Stock Appreciation Rights. Each Stock Appreciation Right may, but need not, vest and therefore

become exercisable in periodic installments that may, but need not, be equal. The Stock Appreciation Right may be subject to such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may be exercised as the Committee may deem appropriate. The

vesting provisions of individual Stock Appreciation Rights may vary. No Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised for a fraction of a Common Share. The Committee may, but shall not be required to, provide for an acceleration of vesting and

exercisability in the terms of any Stock Appreciation Right upon the occurrence of a specified event.

(e) Exercise. Upon exercise

of a Stock Appreciation Right, the holder shall be entitled to receive from the Company an amount equal to the number of Common Shares subject to the Stock Appreciation Right that is being exercised multiplied by the excess of (i) the Fair

Market Value of a Common Share on the date the Award is exercised, over (ii) the exercise price specified in the Stock Appreciation Right or related Option.

10

(f) Exercise Price. The exercise price of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be

determined by the Committee, but shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of one Common Share on the Grant Date of such Stock Appreciation Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Stock Appreciation Right may be granted with an exercise

price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such Stock Appreciation Right is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. A Stock

Appreciation Right granted simultaneously with or subsequent to the grant of an Option and in conjunction therewith or in the alternative thereto shall have the same exercise price as the related Option, shall be transferable only upon the same

terms and conditions as the related Option, and shall be exercisable only to the same extent as the related Option; provided, however, that a Stock Appreciation Right, by its terms, shall be exercisable only when the Fair Market Value per

Common Share subject to the Stock Appreciation Right and related Option exceeds the exercise price per share thereof and no Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted in tandem with an Option unless the Committee determines that the requirements of

Section 7.1(b) are satisfied.

7.2 Restricted Awards.

(a) General. A Restricted Award is an Award of actual Common Shares (“Restricted Share”) or hypothetical Common

Share units (“Restricted Share Units”) having a value equal to the Fair Market Value of an identical number of Common Shares, which may, but need not, provide that such Restricted Award may not be sold, assigned, transferred or

otherwise disposed of, pledged or hypothecated as collateral for a loan or as security for the performance of any obligation or for any other purpose for such period (the “Restricted Period”) as the Committee shall determine. Each

Restricted Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Restricted Award so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 7.2, and to such other conditions not

inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement.

(b) Restricted Share and Restricted Share Units.

(i)

Each Participant granted Restricted Share shall execute and deliver to the Company an Award Agreement with

respect to the Restricted Share setting forth the restrictions and other terms and conditions applicable to such Restricted Share. If the Committee determines that the Restricted Share shall be held by the Company or in escrow rather than delivered

to the Participant pending the release of the applicable restrictions, the Committee may require the Participant to additionally execute and deliver to the Company (A) an escrow agreement satisfactory to the Committee, if applicable; and

(B) the appropriate blank share power with respect to the Restricted Share covered by such agreement. If a Participant fails to execute an agreement evidencing an Award of Restricted Share and, if applicable, an escrow agreement and Share

power, the Award shall be null and void. Subject to the restrictions set forth in the Award, the Participant generally shall have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to such Restricted Share, including the right to vote such Restricted

Share and the right to receive dividends; provided however that dividends (other than share dividends to be issued pursuant to Section 11) may accrue but shall not be paid prior to the time, and only to the

extent that, the restrictions on the Common Shares subject to the Restricted Share to which it relates lapses.

11

(ii)

The terms and conditions of a grant of Restricted Share Units shall be reflected in an Award Agreement. No

Common Shares shall be issued at the time a Restricted Share Unit is granted, and the Company will not be required to set aside a fund for the payment of any such Award. A Participant shall have no voting rights with respect to any Restricted Share

Units granted hereunder. At the discretion of the Committee, each Restricted Share Unit (representing one Common Share) may be credited with cash paid by the Company in respect of one Common Share (“Dividend Equivalents”).

Dividend Equivalents shall be paid only upon the vesting of a Restricted Share Unit and in accordance with Section 409A of the Code if paid to a tax resident of the United States.

(c) Restrictions.

(i)

Restricted Share awarded to a Participant shall be subject to the following restrictions until the expiration

of the Restricted Period, and to such other terms and conditions as may be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement: (A) if an escrow arrangement is used, the Participant shall not be entitled to delivery of the share certificate;

(B) the shares shall be subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in the Award Agreement; (C) the shares shall be subject to forfeiture to the extent provided in the applicable Award Agreement; and (D) to the extent

such shares are forfeited, the share certificates shall be returned to the Company, and all rights of the Participant to such shares and as a stockholder with respect to such shares shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the

Company.

(ii)

Restricted Share Units awarded to any Participant shall be subject to (A) forfeiture until the expiration

of the Restricted Period, to the extent provided in the applicable Award Agreement, and to the extent such Restricted Share Units are forfeited, all rights of the Participant to such Restricted Share Units, including Dividend Equivalents, shall

terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company; and (B) such other terms and conditions as may be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

(iii)

The Committee shall have the authority to remove any or all of the restrictions on the Restricted Share,

Restricted Share Units whenever it may determine that, by reason of changes in Applicable Laws or other changes in circumstances arising after the date the Restricted Share or Restricted Share Units are granted, such action is appropriate.

(d) Restricted Period. With respect to Restricted Awards, the Restricted Period shall commence on the Grant Date

and end at the time or times set forth on a schedule established by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement. No Restricted Award may be granted or settled for a fraction of a Common Share. The Committee may, but shall not be required to,

provide for an acceleration of vesting in the terms of any Award Agreement upon the occurrence of a specified event.

(e) Delivery of

Restricted Shares; Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any Restricted Shares, the restrictions set forth in Section 7.2(c) and the applicable

Award Agreement shall be of no further force or effect with respect to such shares, except as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. If an escrow arrangement is used, upon such expiration, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his

or her beneficiary, without charge, the share certificate evidencing the Restricted Shares which have not then been forfeited and with respect to which the

12

Restricted Period has expired (to the nearest full share) and any cash dividends or share dividends credited to the Participant’s account with respect to such Restricted Shares and the

interest thereon, if any. Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any outstanding Restricted Share Units unless payment is further deferred in compliance with Applicable Laws including, but not limited to Section 409A of

the Code, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his or her beneficiary, without charge, one Common Share for each outstanding vested Restricted Share Unit and cash equal to any Dividend Equivalents credited with respect to each such

vested Restricted Share Unit in accordance with Section 7.2(b)(ii) hereof and the interest thereon or, at the discretion of the Committee, in Common Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to such Dividend

Equivalents and the interest thereon, if any; provided, however, that, if explicitly provided in the applicable Award Agreement, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay cash or part cash and part Common Shares in lieu of

delivering only Common Shares for vested Restricted Stock Units. If a cash payment is made in lieu of delivering Common Shares, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of a Common Share as of the date on which the

Restricted Period lapsed in the case of Restricted Share Units.

(f) Share Restrictions. Each certificate representing Restricted

Stock awarded under the Plan shall bear a legend in such form as the Company deems appropriate.

(g) Performance Awards. Restricted

Awards may be granted at the sole discretion of the Committee, with vesting conditions based on the attainment of written Performance Goals. The Committee shall determine the performance period and whether, with respect to a performance period, the

applicable Performance Goals have been met with respect to a given Participant and, if they have, to so certify and ascertain the amount of the applicable Performance Award. No Performance Awards will be issued for such performance period until such

certification is made by the Committee. The number Common Shares issued in respect of a Performance Award to a given Participant may be less than the amount determined by the applicable Performance Goal formula, at the discretion of the Committee.

The number of Common Shares issued in respect of a Performance Award determined by the Committee for a performance period shall be paid to the Participant at such time as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion after the end of such

performance period and any dividends (other than share dividends to be issued pursuant to Section 11) or Dividend Equivalents that accrue shall only be paid in respect of the number of Common Shares earned in

respect of a Performance Award.

8. Securities Law Compliance. Each Award Agreement shall provide that no Common Shares shall be purchased or sold

thereunder unless and until (a) any then Applicable Laws have been fully complied with to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel; and (b) if required to do so by the Company, the Participant has executed and delivered to the

Company a letter of investment intent in such form and containing such provisions as the Committee may require. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan

such authority as may be required to grant Awards and to issue and sell Common Shares upon exercise of the Awards; provided, however, that this undertaking shall not require the Company to register the Common Shares, the Plan or any Award

under the Securities Act with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission or with any state securities commission or stock exchange or under any other Applicable Laws. If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain from any such

regulatory commission or agency the authority which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of Common Shares under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell Common

Shares upon exercise of such Awards unless and until such authority is obtained.

13

9. Use of Proceeds from Shares. Proceeds from the sale of Common Shares pursuant to Awards, or upon

exercise thereof, shall constitute general funds of the Company.

10. Miscellaneous.

10.1 Acceleration of Exercisability and Vesting. The Committee shall have the power to accelerate the time at which an Award may first

be exercised or the time during which an Award or any part thereof will vest in accordance with the Plan, notwithstanding the provisions in the Award stating the time at which it may first be exercised or the time during which it will vest.

10.2 Stockholder Rights. Except as provided in the Plan or an Award Agreement, no Participant shall be deemed to be the holder of, or

to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any Common Shares subject to such Award unless and until such Participant has satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Award pursuant to its terms and no adjustment shall be made for

dividends (common or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distributions of other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such Common Shares are issued, except as provided in

Section 11 hereof. Any dividends or Dividend Equivalents shall in all events be subject to the same vesting and forfeiture restrictions as apply to the Award to which they relate.

10.3 No Employment or Other Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan or any instrument executed or Award granted pursuant thereto shall

confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Award was granted or shall affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (a) the employment of an

Employee with or without notice and with or without Cause; or (b) the service of a Director pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company or an Affiliate, and any applicable

provisions of the corporate law of the state in which the Company or the Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may be.

10.4 Transfer;

Approved Leave of Absence. For purposes of the Plan, no termination of employment by an Employee shall be deemed to result from either (a) a transfer of employment to the Company from an Affiliate or from the Company to an Affiliate, or

from one Affiliate to another; or (b) an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Company, if the Employee’s right to reemployment is guaranteed either by a statute or by

contract or under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Committee otherwise so provides in writing, in either case, except to the extent inconsistent with Applicable Laws, including but not limited to

Section 409A of the Code if the applicable Award is subject thereto.

10.5 Withholding Obligations. To the extent provided by

the terms of an Award Agreement and subject to the discretion of the Committee, the Participant may satisfy any foreign, federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise or acquisition of Common Shares under an Award by

any of the following means (in addition to the Company’s right to withhold from any compensation paid to the Participant by the Company) or by a combination of such means: (a) tendering a cash payment; (b) authorizing the Company to

withhold Common Shares from the Common Shares otherwise issuable to the Participant as a result of the exercise or acquisition of Common Shares under the Award, provided, however, that no Common Shares are withheld with a value exceeding the

maximum amount of tax required to be withheld by Applicable Laws; or (c) delivering to the Company previously owned and unencumbered Common Shares of the Company.

14

11. Adjustments Upon Changes in Shares. In the event of changes in the outstanding Common Shares or

in the capital structure of the Company by reason of any share or extraordinary cash dividend, share split, reverse share split, an extraordinary corporate transaction such as any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination,

exchange, or other relevant change in capitalization occurring after the Grant Date of any Award, Awards granted under the Plan and any Award Agreements, the exercise price of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, the maximum number of Common

Shares subject to all Awards stated in Section 4 will be equitably adjusted or substituted, as to the number, price or kind of a Common Share or other consideration subject to such Awards to the extent

necessary to preserve the economic intent of such Award. In the case of adjustments made pursuant to this Section 11, unless the Committee specifically determines that such adjustment is in the best interests of the

Company or its Affiliates, the Committee shall, in the case of Incentive Stock Options, ensure that any adjustments under this Section 11 will not constitute a modification, extension or renewal of the Incentive

Stock Options within the meaning of Section 424(h)(3) of the Code and in the case of Non-qualified Stock Options, ensure that any adjustments under this Section 11 will

not constitute a modification of such Non-qualified Stock Options within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. The Company shall give each Participant notice of an adjustment hereunder and, upon

notice, such adjustment shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

12. Effect of Corporate Transaction.

12.1 The obligations of the Company under the Plan and the Award Agreements shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization

resulting from the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor corporation or organization succeeding to all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Company and its Affiliates, taken as a whole

(a “Corporate Transaction”).

12.2 In the event of a Corporate Transaction, the Board may take one or more of the following

actions with respect to Options and Stock Appreciation Rights: (i) make appropriate provision for the continuation of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right by substituting on an equitable basis for the Common Shares then subject to such Option

or Stock Appreciation Right either the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding Common Shares in connection with the Corporate Transaction or securities of any successor or acquiring entity; (ii) require that Participants surrender

their outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for a payment by the Company, in cash or Common Shares as determined by the Board, in an amount equal to the amount by which the then Fair Market Value of the Common Shares subject

to such vested Option or Stock Appreciation Right exceeds the Exercise Price; or (iii) after giving Participants an opportunity to exercise to the extent vested their outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, terminate any or all

unexercised Options and Stock Appreciation Rights at such time as the Board deems appropriate. Such surrender or termination shall take place as of the date of the Corporate Transaction or such other date as the Board may specify.

12.3 In the event of a Corporate Transaction with respect to outstanding Restricted Awards, the Board, shall make appropriate provision for

the continuation of such Restricted Awards on the same terms and conditions by substituting on an equitable basis for the Common Shares then subject to such Restricted Awards either the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding Common

Shares in connection with the Corporate Transaction or securities of any successor or acquiring entity. In lieu of the foregoing, in connection with any Corporate Transaction, the Board may provide that, upon consummation of the Corporate

Transaction, each outstanding Restricted Award shall be terminated in exchange for payment of an amount equal to the consideration payable upon consummation of such Corporate Transaction to a holder of the number of Common Shares comprising such

Restricted Award to then extent then vested.

15

13. Amendment of the Plan and Awards.

13.1 Amendment of Plan. The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend or terminate the Plan. However, except as provided in

Section 11 relating to adjustments upon changes in Common Shares and Section 13.3, no amendment shall be effective unless approved by the stockholders of the Company to

the extent stockholder approval is necessary to satisfy any Applicable Laws. At the time of such amendment, the Board shall determine, upon advice from counsel, whether such amendment will be contingent on stockholder approval.

13.2 Stockholder Approval. The Board will, submit any amendment to the Plan for stockholder approval if required under Applicable Laws.

Other than as set forth in Section 12 of the Plan, the Board may not without stockholder approval reduce the exercise price of a stock option or stock appreciation right or cancel any outstanding Stock Option or Stock

Appreciation Right Award in exchange for a replacement Award having a lower exercise price, any other Award or for cash. In addition, the Board shall not take any other action that is considered a direct or indirect “repricing” for

purposes of the stockholder approval rules of the applicable securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Common Shares are listed, including any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting

principles.

13.3 Contemplated Amendments. It is expressly contemplated that the Board may amend the Plan in any respect the Board

deems necessary or advisable to provide eligible Employees, Consultants and Directors with the maximum benefits provided or to be provided under the provisions of the Code relating to Incentive Stock Options or to the nonqualified deferred

compensation provisions of Section 409A of the Code and/or to bring the Plan and/or Awards granted under it into compliance therewith.

13.4 No Impairment of Rights. Rights under any Award granted before amendment of the Plan shall not adversely affect the

Participant’s material rights by any amendment of the Plan unless (a) the Company requests the consent of the Participant; and (b) the Participant consents in writing.

13.5 Amendment of Awards. The Committee at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of any one or more Awards; provided,

however, that the Committee may not affect any amendment which would adversely affect the Participant’s material rights under any Award unless (a) the Company requests the consent of the Participant; and (b) the Participant

consents in writing.

14. General Provisions.

14.1 Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional

compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

14.2 Unfunded Plan. The Plan shall be unfunded. Neither the Company, the Board nor the Committee shall be required to establish any

special or separate fund or to segregate any assets to assure the performance of its obligations under the Plan.

16

14.3 Recapitalizations and Reorganizations. Each Award Agreement shall contain

provisions required to reflect the provisions of Sections 11 and 12.

14.4 Delivery. Upon exercise of a

right granted under this Plan, the Company shall issue Common Shares or pay any amounts due within a reasonable period of time thereafter. Subject to any statutory or regulatory obligations the Company may otherwise have, for purposes of this Plan,

30 days shall be considered a reasonable period of time.

14.5 No Fractional Shares. No fractional Common Shares shall be issued or

delivered pursuant to the Plan. The Committee shall determine whether cash, additional Awards or other securities or property shall be issued or paid in lieu of fractional Common Shares or whether any fractional shares should be rounded, forfeited

or otherwise eliminated.

14.6 Other Provisions. The Award Agreements authorized under the Plan may contain such other provisions

not inconsistent with this Plan, including, without limitation, restrictions upon the exercise of the Awards, as the Committee may deem advisable.

14.7 Section 409A. The Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly,

to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith. Any payments described in the Plan that are due within the “short-term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A of the

Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless Applicable Laws require otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and tax penalties under Section 409A of the

Code, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to the Plan during the 6 month period immediately following the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service shall instead be paid on the

first payroll date after the 6 month anniversary of the Participant’s separation from service (or the Participant’s death, if earlier). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Committee shall have any obligation to

take any action to prevent the assessment of any excise tax or penalty on any Participant under Section 409A of the Code and neither the Company nor the Committee will have any liability to any Participant for such tax or penalty.

14.8 Disqualifying Dispositions. Any Participant who shall make a “disposition” (as defined in Section 424 of the

Code) of all or any portion of Common Shares acquired upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option within two years from the Grant Date of such Incentive Stock Option or within one year after the issuance of the Common Shares acquired upon exercise of

such Incentive Stock Option (a “Disqualifying Disposition”) shall be required if requested by the Company to immediately advise the Company in writing as to the occurrence of the sale and the price realized upon the sale of such

Common Shares.

14.9 Section 16. It is the intent of the Company that the Plan satisfy, and be interpreted in a manner that

satisfies, the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 as promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act so that Participants will be entitled to the benefit of Rule

16b-3, or any other rule promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and will not be subject to short-swing liability under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, if the operation of any

provision of the Plan would conflict with the intent expressed in this Section 14.9 such provision to the extent possible shall be interpreted and/or deemed amended so as to avoid such conflict.

17

14.10 Beneficiary Designation. Each Participant under the Plan may from time to time

name any beneficiary or beneficiaries by whom any right under the Plan is to be exercised in case of such Participant’s death. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form reasonably

prescribed by the Committee and shall be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant’s lifetime.

14.11 Expenses. The costs of administering the Plan shall be paid by the Company.

14.12 Severability. If any of the provisions of the Plan or any Award Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,

whether in whole or in part, such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability and the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby.

14.13 Plan Headings. The headings in the Plan are for purposes of convenience only and are not intended to define or limit the

construction of the provisions hereof.

14.14 Non-Uniform Treatment. The Committee’s

determinations under the Plan need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among persons who are eligible to receive, or actually receive, Awards. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall be entitled to make non-uniform and selective determinations, amendments and adjustments, and to enter into non-uniform and selective Award Agreements.

15. Effective Date and Termination or Suspension of Plan. The Plan shall become effective as of the Effective Date and shall terminate at the earliest

of (a) such time as no Shares remain available for issuance under the Plan, (b) termination of the Plan by the Board, or (c) the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. Awards outstanding upon expiration of the Plan shall remain in

effect until they have been exercised or terminated, or have expired. No grants of Incentive Stock Options may be made under the Plan on or after June 15, 2031. The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any earlier date pursuant to

Section 13.1 hereof. No Awards may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.

16. Choice of Law. The applicable laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America shall govern all questions concerning the construction,

validity and interpretation of this Plan unless this Plan so specifies the interpretation of other Applicable Laws then, in such case, those Applicable Laws shall govern.

17. Clawback. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan, the Company may recover from a Participant any compensation received

from any Award (whether or not vested or settled) or cause a Participant to forfeit any Award (whether or not vested) in the event that the Company’s Clawback Policy then in effect is triggered.

2. Grant of Restricted Stock Units. The Company hereby issues to the Participant on the Grant Date

represents a contingent right to receive one Common Share, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Capitalized terms that are used but not defined herein have the meaning ascribed to them in this Agreement.

3. Consideration. The grant of the Restricted Stock Units is made in consideration of the services to be rendered by the Participant to the Company. No

Common Shares shall be issued on the Grant Date of the Award, and the Company will not be required to set aside a fund for the payment of this Award.

4.

Vesting.

4.1 Except as otherwise provided herein, provided that the Participant remains in Continuous Service through the

applicable vesting date, the Restricted Stock Units will vest, and no longer be subject to any restrictions, in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Award (the period during which restrictions apply, the “Restricted

Period”).

4.2 The foregoing vesting schedule notwithstanding, if the Participant’s Continuous Service terminates for any

reason at any time before all of his or her Restricted Stock Units have vested, the Participant’s unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be automatically forfeited upon such termination of Continuous Service and neither the Company nor any

Affiliate shall have any further obligations to the Participant under this Agreement.

5. Rights as Stockholder; Dividend Equivalents.

5.1 The Participant shall not have any rights of a stockholder with respect to the Common Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units

(including, without limitation, any voting rights or any right to dividends paid with respect to the Common Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units).

5.2 The Participant shall not be entitled to any Dividend Equivalents in respect of the Restricted Stock Units.

6. Settlement of Restricted Stock Units.

6.1 Within ten days of the vesting of a Restricted Stock Unit, the Company shall issue Common Shares registered in the name of the

Participant, the Participant’s authorized assignee, or the Participant’s legal representative, which shall be evidenced by share certificates representing the shares with the appropriate legends affixed thereto, appropriate entry on the

books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent, or other appropriate means as determined by the Company. No fractional Common Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to this Agreement. The Committee shall determine whether any

fractional shares should be rounded, forfeited or otherwise eliminated. The Common Shares issued upon the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units shall, upon issuance, be fully paid or credited as fully paid,

non-assessable Common Shares.

6.2 To the extent that the Participant does not vest in any

Restricted Stock Units, all interest in such Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited. The Participant has no right or interest in any Restricted Stock Units that are forfeited.

4

7. Tax Liability and Withholding.

7.1 The Participant shall be required to pay to the Company, and the Company shall have the right to deduct from any compensation paid to the

Participant pursuant to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the amount of any applicable foreign, federal, state and local withholding obligations of the Company in respect of the Restricted Stock Units and to take all such other action as

the Company deems necessary to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes. The Company shall not deliver any shares to the Participant until it is satisfied that all required withholdings have been made. At the option of the

Company, the Company may require the sale by the Participant on the applicable vesting date such number of Common Shares as the Company deems necessary to satisfy the Company’s withholding obligation, after deduction of the broker’s

commission, and the broker shall be required to remit to the Company the cash necessary in order for the Company to satisfy its withholding obligation. Such sales shall be made pursuant to a mandatory “sell-to-cover” program instituted by the Company with no discretion by the Participant with respect to any sale under the

“sell-to-cover” program. To the extent the proceeds of such sale exceed the Company’s withholding obligation the Company agrees to pay such excess cash

to the Participant as soon as practicable. In addition, if such sale is not sufficient to pay the Company’s withholding obligation the Participant agrees to pay to the Company as soon as practicable, including through additional payroll

withholding, the amount of any withholding obligation that is not satisfied by the sale of shares. The Participant agrees to hold the Company and the broker harmless from all costs, damages or expenses relating to any such sale. The Participant

acknowledges that the Company and the broker are under no obligation to arrange for such sale at any particular price. In connection with such sale of shares, the Participant shall execute any such documents requested by the broker in order to

effectuate the sale of Common Shares and payment of the withholding obligation to the Company.

7.2 Notwithstanding any action the Company

takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the ultimate

liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and the Company (a) makes no representation or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units; and (b) does not commit to structure the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the

Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items.

8. No Right to Continued Service; No Rights as

Stockholder. This Agreement shall not confer upon the Participant any right to be retained in any position, as an Employee, Consultant or Director of the Company. Further, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the discretion of

the Company to terminate the Participant’s Continuous Service at any time, with or without Cause. The Participant shall not have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Common Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units prior to the

date of settlement.

9. Transferability. The Restricted Stock Units are not transferable by the Participant other than to a designated beneficiary

upon the Participant’s death or by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by Applicable Laws. No assignment or transfer of the Restricted Stock Units, or the rights

represented thereby, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise (except to a designated beneficiary, upon death, by will or the laws of descent or distribution) will vest in the assignee or transferee any interest or right

herein whatsoever, but immediately upon such assignment or transfer the Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited by the Participant and all of the Participant’s rights to such Restricted Stock Units shall immediately terminate without payment

or consideration by the Company and become of no further effect.

5

10. Corporate Transaction and Adjustments.

10.1 Adjustments Upon Changes in Shares. In the event of changes in the outstanding Common Shares or in the capital structure of the

Company by reason of any share or extraordinary cash dividend, share split, reverse share split, an extraordinary corporate transaction such as any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange, or other relevant

change in capitalization occurring after the Grant Date of the Award, the maximum number of Common Shares subject to the Award will be equitably adjusted or substituted, as to the number or kind of a Common Share to the extent necessary to preserve

the economic intent of the Award. In the case of adjustments made pursuant to this Section 10.1, unless the Committee specifically determines that such adjustment is in the best interests of the Company or its Affiliates, the Committee shall

ensure that any adjustments under this Section 10.1 will not constitute a modification of the Award within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. The Company shall give the Participant notice of an adjustment hereunder and, upon notice,

such adjustment shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

10.2 Effect of a Corporate Transaction. The obligations of the

Company under this Agreement shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from a Corporate Transaction. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, the Board, shall make appropriate provision for the continuation of this

Award on the same terms and conditions by substituting on an equitable basis for the Common Shares then subject to this Award either the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding Common Shares in connection with the Corporate Transaction

or securities of any successor or acquiring entity. In lieu of the foregoing, in connection with any Corporate Transaction, the Board may provide that, upon consummation of the Corporate Transaction, the Award shall be terminated in exchange for

payment of an amount equal to the consideration payable upon consummation of such Corporate Transaction to a holder of the number of Common Shares equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units then comprising the Award. Such surrender or termination

shall take place as of the date of the Corporate Transaction or such other date as the Board may specify.

10.3 Compliance with

Law. This Award and the issuance and transfer of Common Shares shall be subject to compliance by the Company and the Participant with all Applicable Laws. No Common Shares shall be issued upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units unless and

until any then Applicable Laws have been fully complied with to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel. The Participant understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Common Shares with the U.S. Securities and Exchange

Commission, any state securities commission or any stock exchange or under any other Applicable Laws to effect such compliance.

11. Governing Law.

This Agreement will be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and any other Applicable Laws, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof. For the purpose of litigating any dispute that

arises under this Agreement, if the Participant is a tax resident of the United States the parties hereby consent to exclusive jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the state courts of

Middlesex County, Massachusetts or the federal courts of the United States for the District of Massachusetts and if the Participant is a resident of any other country the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction in the country in which such

Participant resides.

12. Interpretation. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement shall be submitted by the Participant or the

Company to the Committee for review. The resolution of such dispute by the Committee shall be final and binding on the Participant and the Company.

6

13. Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement. This

Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein, this Agreement will be binding upon the Participant and the Participant’s

beneficiaries, executors, administrators and the person(s) to whom the Restricted Stock Units may be transferred by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

14. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other

provision of this Agreement, and each provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

15. No Right to

Future Grants. The grant of the Restricted Stock Units in this Agreement does not create any contractual right or other right to receive any Restricted Stock Units or any other equity awards in the future. Future awards, if any, will be at the

sole discretion of the Company.

16. Amendment. The Committee has the right to amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or cancel the Restricted Stock

Units and this Agreement, prospectively or retroactively; provided, that, no such amendment shall adversely affect the Participant’s material rights under this Agreement unless (a) the Company requests the consent of the

Participant; and (b) the Participant consents in writing.

17. Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to comply with an exemption from

Section 409A of the Code and shall be construed and interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the requirements for avoiding additional taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company

makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code and in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses

that may be incurred by the Participant on account of non-compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

18.

No Impact on Other Benefits. The value of the Participant’s Restricted Stock Units is not part of his or her normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, retirement, welfare, insurance or similar employee

benefit.

19. Clawback. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company may recover from the Participant any

compensation received from the Award (whether or not vested or settled) or cause the Participant to forfeit the Award (whether or not vested) in the event that the Company’s Clawback Policy then in effect is triggered.

20. Data Privacy. By entering into this Agreement, the Participant: (i) authorizes the Company and each Affiliate, and any agent of the Company or

any Affiliate administering this Agreement or providing recordkeeping services, to disclose to the Company or any of its Affiliates such information and data as the Company or any such Affiliate shall request in order to facilitate the grant of

Restricted Stock Units and the administration of the Award; and (ii) authorizes the Company and each Affiliate to store and transmit such information in electronic form for the purposes set forth in this Agreement.

21. Acceptance. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Agreement. The Participant has read and understands the terms and

provisions thereof, and accepts the Restricted Stock Units subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Participant acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon the vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock

Units and that the Participant should consult a tax advisor prior to such vesting or settlement.

the Participant’s Continuous Service; or (b) the Expiration Date.

3.2 Termination for Cause. If the Participant’s

ending on the earlier of: (a) the date 12 months following the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service; or (b) the Expiration Date.

4. Manner of Exercise.

4.1 Election

to Exercise. To exercise the Option, the Participant (or in the case of exercise after the Participant’s death or incapacity, the Participant’s executor, administrator, heir or legatee, as the case may be) must deliver to the Company

a notice of intent to exercise in the manner designated by the Board or the Committee. If someone other than the Participant exercises the Option, then such person must submit documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company verifying that such

person has the legal right to exercise the Option.

4.2 Payment of Exercise Price. The entire Exercise Price of the Option shall be

payable in full at the time of exercise. The Exercise Price shall be paid, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, either (a) in cash or by certified or bank check at the time the Option is exercised; (b) in accordance with a cashless

exercise program established with a securities brokerage firm; or (c) in the discretion of the Committee, upon such terms as the Committee shall approve, by reduction in the number of Common Shares otherwise deliverable upon exercise of such

Option with a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Option Exercise Price at the time of exercise; or (d) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Committee.

4

4.3 Withholding. Prior to the issuance of shares upon the exercise of the Option, the

Participant must make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to pay or provide for any applicable foreign, federal, state and local withholding obligations of the Company. The Participant may satisfy any foreign, federal, state or local tax

withholding obligation relating to the exercise of the Option by any of the following means:

(a) tendering a cash

payment; or

(b) authorizing the Company to withhold Common Shares from the Common Shares otherwise issuable to the

Participant as a result of the exercise of the Option; provided, however, that no Common Shares are withheld with a value exceeding the maximum amount of tax required to be withheld by Applicable Laws.

The Company has the right to withhold from any compensation paid to a Participant.

4.4 Issuance of Shares. Provided that the exercise notice and payment are in compliance with this Agreement and in form and substance

satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall issue the Common Shares registered in the name of the Participant, the Participant’s authorized assignee, or the Participant’s legal representative, which shall be evidenced by share

certificates representing the shares with the appropriate legends affixed thereto, appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent, or other appropriate means as determined by the Company. No fractional Common

Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to this Agreement. The Committee shall determine whether any fractional shares should be rounded, forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

5. No Right to Continued Employment; No Rights as Stockholder. This Agreement shall not confer upon the Participant any right to be retained in any

position, as an Employee, Consultant or Director of the Company or its Affiliates. Further, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the discretion of the Company to terminate the Participant’s Continuous Service at any time, with

or without Cause. The Participant shall not have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Common Shares subject to the Option prior to the date of exercise of the Option, and no adjustment shall be made for dividends (common or extraordinary,

whether in cash, securities or other property) or distributions of other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such Common Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 7.1 hereof.

6. Transferability. The Option is not transferable by the Participant other than to a designated beneficiary upon the Participant’s death or by

will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by Applicable Laws, and otherwise shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by him or her unless the Board allows

transfer to a Permitted Transferee. No assignment or transfer of the Option, or the rights represented thereby, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise (except to a designated beneficiary, upon death, by will or the laws

of descent or distribution) will vest in the assignee or transferee any interest or right herein whatsoever, but immediately upon such assignment or transfer the Option will terminate and become of no further effect.

7. Corporate Transactions and Adjustments.

7.1 Adjustments Upon Changes in Shares. In the event of changes in the outstanding Common Shares or in the capital

structure of the Company by reason of any share or extraordinary cash dividend, share split, reverse share split, an extraordinary corporate transaction such as any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange, or

other relevant change in capitalization occurring after the Grant Date, the Exercise Price and the maximum number

5

of Common Shares subject to the Option will be equitably adjusted or substituted, as to the number, price or kind of a Common Share to the extent necessary to preserve the economic intent of the

Option. In the case of adjustments made pursuant to this Section 7.1, unless the Committee specifically determines that such adjustment is in the best interests of the Company or its Affiliates, the Committee shall ensure that any adjustments

under this Section 7.1 will not constitute a modification of the Option within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. The Company shall give the Participant notice of an adjustment hereunder and, upon notice, such adjustment shall be

conclusive and binding for all purposes.

7.2 Effect of a Corporate Transaction. The obligations of the Company

under this Agreement shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from a Corporate Transaction. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, the Board may take one or more of the following actions with respect to the Option:

(i) make appropriate provision for the continuation of the Option by substituting on an equitable basis for the Common Shares then subject to the Option either the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding Common Shares in

connection with the Corporate Transaction or securities of any successor or acquiring entity; (ii) require that the Participant surrender the Option in exchange for a payment by the Company, in cash or Common Shares as determined by the Board,

in an amount equal to the amount by which the then Fair Market Value of the Common Shares subject to the vested portion of the Option exceeds the Exercise Price; or (iii) after giving the Participant an opportunity to exercise, to the extent

vested, the Option, terminate the unexercised Option at such time as the Board deems appropriate. Such surrender or termination shall take place as of the date of the Corporate Transaction or such other date as the Board may specify.

8. Tax Liability and Withholding. Notwithstanding any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or

other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and

remains the Participant’s responsibility and the Company (a) makes no representation or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with the grant, vesting, or

exercise of the Option or the subsequent sale of any shares acquired on exercise; and (b) does not commit to structure the Option to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related

Items.

9. Compliance with Law. The exercise of the Option and the issuance and transfer of Common Shares shall be subject to compliance by the

Company and the Participant with all Applicable Laws. No Common Shares shall be issued pursuant to this Option unless and until any then Applicable Laws have been fully complied with to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel. The

Participant understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Common Shares with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission or any stock exchange or under any other Applicable Laws to effect such

compliance.

10. Governing Law. This Agreement will be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and any other

Applicable Laws, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof. For the purpose of litigating any dispute that arises under this Agreement, if the Participant is a tax resident of the United States the parties hereby consent to

exclusive jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the state courts of Middlesex County, Massachusetts or the federal courts of the United States for the District of Massachusetts and if

the Participant is a resident of any other country the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction in the country in which such Participant resides.

6

11. Interpretation. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement shall be submitted by

the Participant or the Company to the Committee for review. The resolution of such dispute by the Committee shall be final and binding on the Participant and the Company.

12. Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit

of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein, this Agreement will be binding upon the Participant and the Participant’s beneficiaries, executors, administrators and the person(s) to

whom this Agreement may be transferred by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

13. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any

provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and each provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

14. No Right to Future Grants. The grant of the Option in this Agreement does not create any contractual right or other right to receive any Options or

other awards in the future. Future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company.

15. Amendment. The Committee has the right to

amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or cancel the Option and this Agreement, prospectively or retroactively; provided, that, no such amendment shall adversely affect the Participant’s material rights under this Agreement unless

(a) the Company requests the consent of the Participant; and (b) the Participant consents in writing.

16. No Impact on Other Benefits.

The value of the Participant’s Option is not part of his or her normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, retirement, welfare, insurance or similar employee benefit.

17. Clawback. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company may recover from the Participant any compensation

received from the Option (whether or not vested or settled) or cause the Participant to forfeit the Option (whether or not vested) in the event that the Company’s Clawback Policy then in effect is triggered.

18. Data Privacy. By entering into this Agreement, the Participant: (i) authorizes the Company and each Affiliate, and any agent of the Company or

any Affiliate administering this Agreement or providing recordkeeping services, to disclose to the Company or any of its Affiliates such information and data as the Company or any such Affiliate shall request in order to facilitate the grant and

administration of the Option; and (ii) authorizes the Company and each Affiliate to store and transmit such information in electronic form for the purposes set forth in this Agreement.

19. Acceptance. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of this Agreement. The Participant has read and understands the terms and provisions

thereof, and accepts the Option subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Participant acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon exercise of the Option or disposition of the underlying shares and that the

Participant should consult a tax advisor prior to such exercise or disposition.

5. Participation.

(a) An eligible Employee may become a participant in the Plan by completing an Enrollment Form provided by the Company and filing it

with the Company or its designee at least 15 days prior to the applicable Offering Date, unless a later time for filing the Enrollment Form is set by the Board for all eligible Employees with respect to a given Offering Period. The Enrollment Form

and its submission may be electronic as directed by the Company. The Enrollment Form shall set forth the percentage of the participant’s Compensation (which shall be not less than 1% and not more than 15%) to be paid as Contributions pursuant

to the Plan.

(b) Payroll deductions shall commence with the first payroll following the Offering Date, unless a later time is set by the

Board with respect to a given Offering Period and shall end on the last payroll paid on or prior to the Exercise Date of the Offering Period to which the Enrollment Form is applicable, unless sooner terminated as provided in paragraph 10.

6. Method of Payment of Contributions.

(a) Each participant shall elect to have payroll deductions made on each payroll during the Offering Period in an amount not less than 1% and

not more than 15% of such participant’s Compensation on each such payroll; provided that the aggregate of such payroll deductions during the Offering Period shall not exceed 15% of the participant’s aggregate Compensation during said

Offering Period (or such other percentage as the Board may establish from time to time before an Offering Date). All payroll deductions made by a participant shall be credited to his or her account under the Plan. A participant may not make any

additional payments into such account.

(b) A participant may discontinue his or her participation in the Plan as provided in paragraph

10, or, on one occasion only during the Offering Period, may decrease, but may not increase, the rate of his or her Contributions during the Offering Period by completing and filing with the Company a new Enrollment Form authorizing a change in the

deduction rate. The change in rate shall be effective as of the beginning of the next payroll period following the date of filing of the new Enrollment Form, if the Enrollment Form is completed at least ten business days prior to such date, and, if

not, as of the beginning of the next succeeding payroll period.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with

Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and paragraph 3(b), a participant’s payroll deductions may be decreased to 0% at such time during any Offering Period which is scheduled to end during the current calendar year that the aggregate of all

payroll deductions accumulated with respect to such Offering Period and any other Offering Period ending within the same calendar year equals $21,250. Payroll deductions shall recommence at the rate provided in such participant’s Enrollment

Form at the beginning of the first Offering Period which is scheduled to end in the following calendar year, unless terminated by the participant as provided in paragraph 10.

7. Grant of Option. On the Offering Date of each Offering Period, each eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be

granted an option to purchase on the Exercise Date of such Offering Period a number of Common Shares determined by dividing such Employee’s Contributions accumulated prior to such Exercise Date and retained in the participant’s account

as of the Exercise Date by the applicable Exercise Price; provided however, that such purchase shall be subject to the limitations set forth in paragraphs 3(b) and 12.

8. Exercise of Option. Unless a participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in paragraph 10, his or her option for the purchase of

Shares will be exercised automatically on the Exercise Date of the Offering Period, and the maximum number of full Shares subject to the option will be purchased for him or her at the applicable Exercise Price with the accumulated Contributions in

his or her account. If a fractional number of shares results, then such number shall be rounded down to the next whole number and any unapplied cash shall be carried forward to the next Exercise Date, unless the participant requests a cash payment.

The Shares purchased upon exercise of an option hereunder shall be deemed to be transferred to the participant on the Exercise Date. During a participant’s lifetime, a participant’s option to purchase Shares hereunder is exercisable only

by him or her.

9. Delivery. Shares shall be held for each participant’s benefit by a broker designated by the Company. Any

payroll deductions accumulated in a participant’s account which are not sufficient to purchase a full Share shall be retained in the participant’s account for the subsequent Offering Period, subject to earlier withdrawal by the

participant as provided in paragraph 10 below. Any other amounts left over in a participant’s account after an Exercise Date shall be returned to the participant.

3

10. Withdrawal; Termination of Employment.

(a) A participant may withdraw all but not less than all the Contributions credited to his or her account under the Plan by giving written

notice to the Company or its designee at any time at least five business days prior to the Exercise Date of the Offering Period. All of the participant’s Contributions credited to his or her account will be paid to him or her promptly after

receipt of his or her notice of withdrawal and his or her option for the current period will be automatically terminated, and no further Contributions for the purchase of Shares will be made during the Offering Period.

(b) Upon termination of the participant’s Continuous Status as an Employee prior to the Exercise Date of the Offering Period for any

reason, including retirement or death, the Contributions credited to his or her account will be returned to him or her or, in the case of his or her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under paragraph 14, and his or her option will be

automatically terminated.

(c) In the event an Employee fails to remain in Continuous Status as an Employee for at least 20 hours per week

during the Offering Period in which the Employee is a participant, he or she will be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan and the Contributions credited to his or her account will be returned to him or her and his or her option

terminated.

(d) A participant’s withdrawal from an Offering Period will not have any effect upon his or her eligibility to

participate in a succeeding offering or in any similar plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Company.

11. Interest. No

interest shall accrue on the Contributions of a participant in the Plan.

12. Shares.

(a) The maximum number of Common Shares which shall be made available for sale under the Plan shall be 3,000,000 Shares, subject to adjustment

upon changes in capitalization of the Company as provided in paragraph 17, provided that no more than 12,500 shares may be purchased by any participant in any one Offering Period unless such amount is changed by the Board at any time prior to the

end of an Offering Period. If the total number of Shares which would otherwise be subject to options granted pursuant to paragraph 7 on the Offering Date of an Offering Period exceeds the number of Shares then available under the Plan (after

deduction of all Shares for which options have been exercised), the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the Shares remaining available for option grants in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine to be

equitable. Any amounts remaining in an Employee’s account not applied to the purchase of Shares pursuant to this paragraph 12 shall be refunded on or promptly after the Exercise Date. In such event, the Company shall give written notice of

such reduction of the number of Shares subject to the option to each Employee affected thereby and shall similarly reduce the rate of Contributions, if necessary.

(b) The participant will have no interest or voting right in Shares covered by his or her option until such option has been exercised.

13. Administration. The Board shall supervise and administer the Plan and shall have full power to adopt, amend and rescind any rules

deemed desirable and appropriate for the administration of the Plan and not inconsistent with the Plan, to construe and interpret the Plan, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.

14. Designation of Beneficiary.

(a) A participant may designate a beneficiary who is to receive any Shares and cash, if any, from the participant’s account under the

Plan in the event of such participant’s death subsequent to the end of the Offering Period but prior to delivery to him or her of such Shares and cash. In addition, a participant may designate a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the

participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such participant’s death prior to the Exercise Date of the Offering Period. If a participant is married and the designated beneficiary is not the spouse, spousal consent shall be

required for such designation to be effective. Beneficiary designations shall be made either in writing or by electronic delivery as directed by the Company.

4

(b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the participant (and his or her

spouse, if any) at any time by submission of the required notice, which may be electronic. 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

participant’s 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.

15. Transferability. Neither Contributions credited to a participant’s 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 paragraph 14) 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 in accordance with paragraph 10.

16. Use of Funds. All Contributions 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 Contributions.

17. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization.

(a) Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of Common Shares covered by unexercised options under

the Plan and the number of Common Shares which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but are not yet subject to options under paragraph 12(a) (the “Reserve”), as well as the price per share covered by each unexercised option

under the Plan, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued Common Shares resulting from a share split, reverse share split, share dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Shares. Such

adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.

(b) In the event of

the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, an Offering Period then in progress will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Board. In the event of a proposed sale of all

or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger, consolidation or other capital reorganization of the Company with or into another corporation, each option outstanding under the Plan shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be

substituted by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation, unless the Board determines, in the exercise of its sole discretion and in lieu of such assumption or substitution, to shorten the Offering Period

then in progress by setting a new Exercise Date (the “New Exercise Date”). If the Board shortens the Offering Period then in progress in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the Board shall

notify each participant in writing, at least ten days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for his or her option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that his or her option will be exercised automatically on the New

Exercise Date, unless prior to such date he or she has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in paragraph 10. For purposes of this paragraph, an option granted under the Plan shall be deemed to be assumed if, following the sale of assets,

merger or other reorganization, the option confers the right to purchase, for each Common Share subject to the option immediately prior to the sale of assets, merger or other reorganization, the consideration (whether stock, cash or other securities

or property) received in the sale of assets, merger or other reorganization by holders of Common Shares for each Common Share held on the effective date of such transaction (and if such holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of

consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in such transaction was not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent (as defined in

Section 424(e) of the Code), the Board may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon exercise of the option 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 Shares in the sale of assets, merger or other reorganization.

(c) The Board may, if it so determines in the exercise of its sole discretion, also make provision for adjusting the Reserve, as well as the

price per share covered by each outstanding option, in the event that the Company effects one or more reorganizations, recapitalizations, rights offerings or other increases or reductions of its outstanding Common Shares, and in the event of the

Company being consolidated with or merged into any other corporation.

18. Amendment or Termination.

(a) The Board may at any time terminate or amend the Plan. Except as provided in paragraph 17, no such termination may affect options

previously granted, nor may an amendment make any change in any option theretofore granted which adversely affects the rights of any participant provided that an Offering Period may be terminated by the Board on an Exercise Date or by the

Board’s setting a new Exercise Date with respect to an Offering Period then in progress if the Board determines that termination of the Offering Period is in the best interests of the Company and the stockholders or if continuation of the

Offering Period would cause the Company to incur adverse accounting charges in the generally-accepted accounting rules applicable to the Plan. In addition, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423 of the Code (or any successor rule or

provision or any applicable law or regulation), the Company shall obtain stockholder approval in such a manner and to such a degree as so required.

(b) Without stockholder consent and without regard to whether any participant rights may be considered to have been adversely affected, the

Board 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,

permit payroll withholding in excess of the amount designated by a participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company’s 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 Shares for each participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the participant’s Compensation, and establish such other

limitations or procedures as the Board determines in its sole discretion advisable that are consistent with the Plan.

19. Notices.

All notices or other communications by a participant to the Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the

Company for the receipt thereof.

20. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. Shares shall not be issued with respect to an option

unless the exercise of such option and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any share exchange upon which the Common Shares may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for

the Company with respect to such compliance.

21. Information Regarding Disqualifying Dispositions. By electing to participate in

the Plan, each participant agrees to provide any information about any transfer of Shares acquired under the Plan that occurs within two years after the first business day of the Offering Period in which such Shares were acquired as may be requested

by the Company or any Subsidiaries in order to assist it in complying with the tax laws.

22. Right to Terminate Employment.

Nothing in the Plan or in any agreement entered into pursuant to the Plan shall confer upon any Employee the right to continue in the employment of the Company or any Subsidiary or affect any right which the Company or any Subsidiary may have to

terminate the employment of such Employee.

23. Rights as a Stockholder. Neither the granting of an option nor a deduction from

payroll shall constitute an Employee the owner of Shares covered by an option. No Employee shall have any right as a stockholder unless and until an option has been exercised, and the Shares underlying the option have been registered in the

Company’s share register.

24. Effective Date and Term of Plan. The Plan became effective August 7, 2026

and no rights shall be granted hereunder after the earliest to occur of (a) the Plan’s termination by the Company or (b) the issuance of all Shares available for issuance under the Plan.

25. Applicable Law. The applicable laws of the State of Delaware shall govern all questions concerning the construction, validity and

interpretation of this Plan unless this Plan so specifies the interpretation of other applicable laws then, in such case, those applicable laws shall govern. The applicable laws shall include but not be limited to (i) applicable laws of the

State of Delaware; (ii) applicable laws of the United States, including but not limited to, United States federal and state securities laws and the Code; (iii) applicable laws of Japan, including but not limited to, the Financial

Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan; (iv) any stock exchange or quotation system on which the Common Shares are listed or quoted; and (v) the applicable laws of any foreign country or jurisdiction where Awards are granted under the

Plan.
