1. General.
(a) Eligible Award Recipients. The persons eligible to receive Awards are Employees,
Directors and Consultants.
(b) Available Awards. This Plan provides for the grant of the following Awards: (i) Incentive
Stock Options, (ii) Nonstatutory Stock Options, (iii) Stock Appreciation Rights, (iv) Restricted
Stock Awards, (v) Restricted Stock Unit Awards, (vi) Performance Stock Awards, (vii) Performance
Cash Awards, and (viii) Other Stock Awards.
(c) Purpose. The Company, by means of this Plan, seeks to secure and retain the services of
the group of persons eligible to receive Awards as set forth in Section 1(a), to provide incentives
for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of the Company and any Affiliate, and to
provide a means by which such eligible recipients may be given an opportunity to benefit from
increases in value of the Common Stock through the granting of Awards.
2. Administration.
(a) Administration by Board. The Board shall administer this Plan unless and until the Board
delegates administration of this Plan to a Committee or Committees, as provided in Section 2(c).
(b) Powers of Board. The Board shall have the power, subject to, and within the limitations
of, the express provisions of this Plan:
(i) To determine from time to time (A) which of the persons eligible under this Plan shall be
granted Awards; (B) when and how each Award shall be granted; (C) what type or combination of types
of Award shall be granted; (D) the provisions of each Award granted (which need not be identical),
including the time or times when a person shall be permitted to receive cash or Common Stock
pursuant to a Stock Award; (E) the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which a Stock
Award shall be granted to each such person; and (F) the Fair Market Value applicable to a Stock
Award.
(ii) To construe and interpret this Plan and Awards granted under it, and to establish, amend
and revoke rules and regulations for administration of this Plan. The Board, in
1
the exercise of this power, may correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in this Plan or
in any Award Agreement, in a manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or expedient to make
this Plan or Award fully effective.
(iii) To settle all controversies regarding this Plan and Awards granted under it.
(iv) 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 this 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.
(v) To suspend or terminate this Plan at any time. Suspension or termination of this Plan
shall not impair rights and obligations under any Award granted while this Plan is in effect except
with the written consent of the affected Participant.
(vi) To amend this Plan in any respect the Board deems necessary, appropriate or desirable,
including, without limitation, relating to Incentive Stock Options and certain nonqualified
deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code and/or to bring this Plan or Awards granted
under this Plan into compliance therewith, subject to the limitations, if any, of applicable law.
However, except as provided in Section 9(a) relating to Capitalization Adjustments, to the extent
required by applicable law or listing requirements, stockholder approval shall be required for any
amendment of this Plan that either (A) materially increases the number of shares of Common Stock
available for issuance under this Plan, (B) materially expands the class of individuals eligible to
receive Awards under this Plan, (C) materially increases the benefits accruing to Participants
under this Plan or materially reduces the price at which shares of Common Stock may be issued or
purchased under this Plan, (D) materially extends the term of this Plan, or (E) expands the types
of Awards available for issuance under this Plan. Except as provided above, rights under any Award
granted before amendment of this Plan shall not be impaired by any amendment of this Plan unless
(1) the Company requests the consent of the affected Participant, and (2) such Participant consents
in writing.
(vii) To submit any amendment to this Plan for stockholder approval, including, but not
limited to, amendments to this Plan intended to satisfy the requirements of (A) Section 162(m) of
the Code regarding the exclusion of performance-based compensation from the limit on corporate
deductibility of compensation paid to Covered Employees, (B) Section 422 of the Code regarding
Incentive Stock Options or (C) Rule 16(b)-3.
(viii) To approve forms of Award Agreements for use under this Plan and to amend the terms of
any one or more Awards, including, but not limited to, amendments to provide terms more favorable
to the Participant than previously provided in the Award Agreement, subject to any specified limits
in this Plan that are not subject to Board discretion; provided, however, that except with respect
to amendments that disqualify or impair the status of an Incentive Stock Option, a Participants
rights under any Award shall not be impaired by any such amendment unless (A) the Company requests
the consent of the affected Participant, and (B) such Participant consents in writing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the limitations of applicable law, if any, the Board may
amend the terms of any one or more Awards without the affected Participants consent if necessary
to maintain the qualified status of the
2
Award as an Incentive Stock Option or to bring the Award into compliance with Section 409A of
the Code.
(ix) Generally, to exercise such powers and to perform such acts as the Board deems necessary
or expedient to promote the best interests of the Company and that are not in conflict with the
provisions of this Plan or Awards.
(x) To adopt such procedures and sub-plans as are necessary or appropriate to permit
participation in this Plan by Employees, Directors or Consultants who are foreign nationals or
employed outside the United States.
(xi) To effect, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of any adversely affected
Participant, (A) the reduction of the exercise price or strike price of any outstanding Option or
SAR under this Plan, (B) the cancellation of any outstanding Option or SAR under this Plan and the
grant in substitution therefor of (1) a new Option or SAR under this Plan or another equity plan of
the Company covering the same or a different number of shares of Common Stock, (2) a Restricted
Stock Award, (3) a Restricted Stock Unit Award, (4) an Other Stock Award, (5) cash and/or (6) other
valuable consideration (as determined by the Board, in its sole discretion), or (C) any other
action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles.
(c) Delegation to Committee.
(i) General. The Board may delegate some or all of the administration of this Plan to a
Committee or Committees. If administration of this Plan is delegated to a Committee, the Committee
shall have, in connection with the administration of this Plan, the powers theretofore possessed by
the Board that have been delegated to the Committee, including the power to delegate to a
subcommittee of the Committee any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to
exercise (and references in this Plan to the Board shall thereafter be to the Committee or
subcommittee), subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of this
Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board. The Committee may, at any time, abolish
the subcommittee and/or revest in the Committee any powers delegated to the subcommittee. The
Board may retain the authority to concurrently administer this Plan with the Committee and may, at
any time, revest in the Board some or all of the powers previously delegated.
(ii) Section 162(m) and Rule 16b-3 Compliance. The Committee may consist solely of two or
more Outside Directors, in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code, and solely of two or more
Non-Employee Directors, in accordance with Rule 16b-3.
(d) Delegation to an Officer. The Board may delegate to one or more Officers of the Company
the authority to do one or both of the following: (i) designate Officers and Employees of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries to be recipients of Options (and, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, other Stock Awards) and the terms thereof, and (ii) determine the number of shares
of Common Stock to be subject to such Stock Awards granted to such Officers and Employees;
provided, however, that the Board resolutions regarding such delegation shall specify the total
number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to the Stock Awards
3
granted by such Officer and that such Officer may not grant a Stock Award to himself or
herself. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may not delegate authority to an Officer to
determine the Fair Market Value.
(e) Effect of Boards Decision. All determinations, interpretations and constructions made by
the Board in good faith shall not be subject to review by any person and shall be final, binding
and conclusive on all persons.
(f) Arbitration. Any dispute or claim concerning any Awards granted (or not granted) pursuant
to this Plan or any disputes or claims relating to or arising out of this Plan shall be fully,
finally and exclusively resolved by binding and confidential arbitration conducted pursuant to the
Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association in the location of the
Companys principal headquarters. The Company shall pay the costs of filing the arbitration and
the arbitrators fees and expenses (but each side shall be responsible for paying their own
attorneys fees and expenses). By accepting an Award, Participants and the Company waive their
respective rights to have any such disputes or claims tried by a judge or jury.
3. Shares Subject to this Plan.
(a) Share Reserve. Subject to Section 9(a) relating to Capitalization Adjustments, and to the
provisions in this Section 3(a) relating to automatic increases on January 1st of each
year, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to Stock Awards
from and after the Original Effective Date shall not exceed 3,777,391 shares (which includes (i)
59,050 shares of Common Stock that were previously held in reserve under the Companys 1999 Stock
Incentive Plan, but which were unused, and which have been transferred to this Plan, (ii) the
additional shares of Common Stock that may revert to this Plan pursuant to this Section 3(a) and
(iii) an additional 333,333 shares which were added to this Plan in connection with the amendment
and restatement of this Plan, effective on the IPO Date). If any outstanding stock option granted
under the Companys 1999 Stock Incentive Plan should for any reason expire or otherwise terminate,
in whole or in part, without having been exercised in full, the shares of Common Stock that are not
acquired under any such stock option shall revert to, and become available for issuance under, this
Plan. If stock that has been issued to a Participant under the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan pursuant
to unrestricted or restricted stock awards is subsequently forfeited or reacquired by the Company
as a result of the failure to vest or satisfy any other contingency, such stock also shall revert
to this Plan and be available for future issuance hereunder. The maximum aggregate number of
additional shares of Common Stock that may revert to this Plan under these provisions is 3,051,675
shares. In addition, the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under this Plan
shall automatically increase on January 1st of each year for a period of nine (9) years
commencing on January 1, 2011 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2019, in an amount equal to
the lesser of (A) four and one-half percent (4.5%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on December 31st of the preceding calendar year, or (B) 1,250,000 shares.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may act, prior to the first day of any calendar year, to
provide that there shall be no increase in the share reserve for such calendar year or that the
increase in the share reserve for such calendar year shall be a lesser number of shares of Common
Stock than would otherwise occur pursuant to the preceding sentence. For clarity, the limitation
in this Section 3(a) is a limitation in the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued
pursuant to this Plan.
4
Accordingly, this Section 3(a) does not limit the granting of Stock Awards except as provided
in Section 7(a). Shares may be issued in connection with a merger or acquisition as permitted by
NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(c) or, if applicable, NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 303A.08, AMEX
Company Guide Section 711 or other applicable rule, and such issuance shall not reduce the number
of shares available for issuance under this Plan.
(b) Reversion of Shares to the Share Reserve. If any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant
to a Stock Award are forfeited back to the Company because of the failure to meet a contingency or
condition required to vest such shares in the Participant, then the shares which are forfeited
shall revert to and again become available for issuance under this Plan. Also, any shares
reacquired by the Company pursuant to Section 8(g) or as consideration for the exercise of an
Option shall again become available for issuance under this Plan. Furthermore, if a Stock Award
(i) expires or otherwise terminates without having been exercised in full or (ii) is settled in
cash (i.e., the holder of the Stock Award receives cash rather than stock), such expiration,
termination or settlement shall not reduce (or otherwise offset) the number of shares of Common
Stock that may be issued pursuant to this Plan. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section
3(b), any such shares shall not be subsequently issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock
Options.
(c) Incentive Stock Option Limit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3
and subject to the provisions of Section 9(a) relating to Capitalization Adjustments, the aggregate
maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive
Stock Options shall be 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock.
(d) Section 162(m) Limitation on Annual Grants. Subject to the provisions of Section 9(a)
relating to Capitalization Adjustments, at such time as the Company may be subject to the
applicable provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code, a maximum of 2,750,000 shares of Common Stock
subject to Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Stock Awards whose value is determined by
reference to an increase over an exercise or strike price of at least one hundred percent (100%) of
the Fair Market Value on the date any such Stock Award is granted may be granted to any Participant
during any calendar year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any additional Options, Stock
Appreciation Rights or Other Stock Awards whose value is determined by reference to an increase
over an exercise or strike price of at least one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value on
the date the Stock Award is granted to any Participant during any calendar year, compensation
attributable to the exercise of such additional Stock Awards shall not satisfy the requirements to
be considered qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code unless
such additional Stock Award is approved by the Companys stockholders.
(e) Source of Shares. The stock issuable under this Plan shall be shares of authorized but
unissued or reacquired Common Stock, including shares repurchased by the Company on the open market
or otherwise.
4. Eligibility.
(a) Eligibility for Specific Stock Awards. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to
employees of the Company or a parent corporation or subsidiary corporation thereof
5
(as such terms are defined in Sections 424(e) and (f) of the Code). Stock Awards other than
Incentive Stock Options may be granted to Employees, Directors and Consultants; provided, however,
Nonstatutory Stock Options and SARs may not be granted to Employees, Directors and Consultants who
are providing Continuous Service only to any parent of the Company, as such term is defined in
Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act, unless the stock underlying such Stock Awards is
treated as service recipient stock under Section 409A of the Code because the Stock Awards are
granted pursuant to a corporate transaction (such as a spin off transaction) or unless such Stock
Awards comply with the distribution requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
(b) Ten Percent Stockholders. A Ten Percent Stockholder shall not be granted an Incentive
Stock Option unless the exercise price of such Option is at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of
the Fair Market Value on the date of grant and the Option is not exercisable after the expiration
of five (5) years from the date of grant.
5. Provisions relating to Options and Stock Appreciation Rights.
Each Option or SAR shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the
Board shall deem appropriate. All Options shall be separately designated Incentive Stock Options
or Nonstatutory Stock Options at the time of grant, and, if certificates are issued, a separate
certificate or certificates shall be issued for shares of Common Stock purchased on exercise of
each type of Option. If an Option is not specifically designated as an Incentive Stock Option, then
the Option shall be a Nonstatutory Stock Option. The provisions of separate Options or SARs need
not be identical; provided, however, that each Option Agreement or Stock Appreciation Right
Agreement shall conform to (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the
applicable Award Agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:
(a) Term. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(b) regarding Ten Percent Stockholders, no
Option or SAR shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date of its
grant or such shorter period specified in the Award Agreement.
(b) Exercise Price. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(b) regarding Ten Percent
Stockholders, the exercise price (or strike price) of each Option or SAR shall be not less than one
hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option or SAR on
the date the Option or SAR is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option or SAR may be
granted with an exercise price (or strike price) lower than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair
Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option or SAR if such Option or SAR is granted
pursuant to an assumption of or substitution for another option or stock appreciation right
pursuant to a Corporate Transaction and in a manner consistent with the provisions of Sections 409A
and, if applicable, 424(a) of the Code. Each SAR will be denominated in shares of Common Stock
equivalents.
(c) Purchase Price for Options. The purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the
exercise of an Option shall be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable law and as determined by
the Board in its sole discretion, by any combination of the methods of payment set forth below.
The Board shall have the authority to grant Options that do not permit all of the
6
following methods of payment (or otherwise restrict the ability to use certain methods) and to
grant Options that require the consent of the Company to utilize a particular method of payment.
The permitted methods of payment are as follows:
(i) by cash, check, bank draft or money order payable to the Company;
(ii) pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve
Board that, prior to the issuance of the stock subject to the Option, results in either the receipt
of cash (or check) by the Company or the receipt of irrevocable instructions to pay the aggregate
exercise price to the Company from the sales proceeds;
(iii) by delivery to the Company (either by actual delivery or attestation) of shares of
Common Stock;
(iv) if the option is a Nonstatutory Stock Option, by a net exercise arrangement pursuant to
which the Company will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise by the
largest whole number of shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise
price; provided, however, that the Company shall accept a cash or other payment from the
Participant to the extent of any remaining balance of the aggregate exercise price not satisfied by
such reduction in the number of whole shares to be issued; provided further, that shares of Common
Stock will no longer be subject to an Option and will not be exercisable thereafter to the extent
that (A) shares issuable upon exercise are reduced to pay the exercise price pursuant to the net
exercise, (B) shares are delivered to the Participant as a result of such exercise, and (C) shares
are withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations; or
(v) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board.
(d) Exercise and Payment of a SAR. To exercise any outstanding Stock Appreciation Right, the
Participant must provide written notice of exercise to the Company in compliance with the
provisions of the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement evidencing such Stock Appreciation Right. The
appreciation distribution payable on the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right will be not greater
than an amount equal to the excess of (i) the aggregate Fair Market Value (on the date of the
exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right) of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number
of Common Stock equivalents in which the Participant is vested under such Stock Appreciation Right,
and with respect to which the Participant is exercising the Stock Appreciation Right on such date,
over (ii) the strike price, if any, that will be determined by the Board at the time of grant of
the Stock Appreciation Right. The appreciation distribution in respect to a Stock Appreciation
Right may be paid in Common Stock, in cash, in any combination of the two or in any other form of
consideration, as determined by the Board and contained in the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement
evidencing such Stock Appreciation Right.
(e) Transferability of Options and SARs. The Board may, in its sole discretion, impose such
limitations on the transferability of Options and SARs as the Board shall determine. In the
absence of such a determination by the Board to the contrary, the following restrictions on the
transferability of Options and SARs shall apply:
7
(i) Restrictions on Transfer. An Option or SAR shall not be transferable except by will or by
the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the
Participant only by the Participant; provided, however, that the Board may, in its sole discretion,
permit transfer of the Option or SAR in a manner that is not prohibited by applicable tax and
securities laws upon the Participants request. Except as explicitly provided herein, neither an
Option nor a SAR may be transferred for consideration.
(ii) Domestic Relations Orders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option or SAR may be
transferred pursuant to a domestic relations order; provided, however, that if an Option is an
Incentive Stock Option, such Option shall be deemed to be a Nonstatutory Stock Option as a result
of such transfer.
(iii) Beneficiary Designation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant may, by
delivering written notice to the Company, in a form provided by or otherwise satisfactory to the
Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Participant, shall
thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option or SAR and receive the Common Stock or other
consideration resulting from such exercise. In the absence of such a designation, the executor or
administrator of the Participants estate shall be entitled to exercise the Option or SAR and
receive the Common Stock or other consideration resulting from such exercise.
(f) Vesting Generally. The total number of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option or SAR
may vest and therefore become exercisable in periodic installments that may or may not be equal.
The Option or SAR may be subject to such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it
may or may not be exercised (which may be based on the satisfaction of Performance Goals or other
criteria) as the Board may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of individual Options or SARs
may vary. The provisions of this Section 5(f) are subject to any Option or SAR provisions
governing the minimum number of shares of Common Stock as to which an Option or SAR may be
exercised.
(g) Termination of Continuous Service. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award
Agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Company, if a Participants Continuous
Service terminates (other than upon the Participants death or Disability), the Participant may
exercise his or her Option or SAR (to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise such
Award as of the date of termination of Continuous Service) but only within such period of time
ending on the earlier of (i) the date three (3) months following the termination of the
Participants Continuous Service (or such longer or shorter period specified in the applicable
Award Agreement), or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option or SAR as set forth in the Award
Agreement. If, after termination of Continuous Service, the Participant does not exercise his or
her Option or SAR within the time specified herein or in the Award Agreement (as applicable), the
Option or SAR shall terminate.
(h) Extension of Termination Date. If the exercise of an Option or SAR following the
termination of the Participants Continuous Service (other than upon the Participants death or
Disability) would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of shares of Common Stock
would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act, then the Option or SAR shall
terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of a total period of three (3) months (that need not
be consecutive) after the termination of the Participants Continuous Service during
8
which the exercise of the Option or SAR would not be in violation of such registration
requirements, or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option or SAR as set forth in the
applicable Award Agreement. In addition, unless otherwise provided in a Participants Award
Agreement, if the sale of any Common Stock received upon exercise of an Option or SAR following the
termination of the Participants Continuous Service would violate the Companys insider trading
policy, then the Option or SAR shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of a period
equal to the applicable post-termination exercise period after the termination of the Participants
Continuous Service during which the sale of the Common Stock received upon exercise of the Option
or SAR would not be in violation of the Companys insider trading policy, or (ii) the expiration of
the term of the Option or SAR as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.
(i) Disability of Participant. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement
or other agreement between the Participant and the Company, if a Participants Continuous Service
terminates as a result of the Participants Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her
Option or SAR (to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise such Option or SAR as of
the date of termination of Continuous Service), but only within such period of time ending on the
earlier of (i) the date twelve (12) months following such termination of Continuous Service (or
such longer or shorter period specified in the Award Agreement), or (ii) the expiration of the term
of the Option or SAR as set forth in the Award Agreement. If, after termination of Continuous
Service, the Participant does not exercise his or her Option or SAR within the time specified
herein or in the Award Agreement (as applicable), the Option or SAR (as applicable) shall
terminate.
(j) Death of Participant. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement or
other agreement between the Participant and the Company, if (i) a Participants Continuous Service
terminates as a result of the Participants death, or (ii) the Participant dies within the period
(if any) specified in the Award Agreement for exercisability after the termination of the
Participants Continuous Service (for a reason other than death), then the Option or SAR may be
exercised (to the extent the Participant was entitled to exercise such Option or SAR as of the date
of death) by the Participants estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option or
SAR by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated to exercise the Option or SAR upon the
Participants death, but only within the period ending on the earlier of (A) the date eighteen (18)
months following the date of death (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Award
Agreement), or (B) the expiration of the term of such Option or SAR as set forth in the Award
Agreement. If, after the Participants death, the Option or SAR is not exercised within the time
specified herein or in the Award Agreement (as applicable), the Option or SAR shall terminate.
(k) Non-Exempt Employees. No Option or SAR, whether or not vested, granted to an Employee who
is a non-exempt employee for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, shall be
first exercisable for any shares of Common Stock until at least six (6) months following the date
of grant of the Option or SAR. Notwithstanding the foregoing, consistent with the provisions of the
Worker Economic Opportunity Act, (i) in the event of the Participants death or Disability, (ii)
upon a Corporate Transaction in which such Option or SAR is not assumed, continued, or substituted,
(iii) upon a Change in Control, or (iv) upon the Participants retirement (as such term may be
defined in the Participants Award Agreement or in another applicable agreement or in accordance
with the Companys then current employment
9
policies and guidelines), any such vested Options and SARs may be exercised earlier than six
(6) months following the date of grant. The foregoing provision is intended to operate so that any
income derived by a non-exempt employee in connection with the exercise or vesting of an Option or
SAR will be exempt from his or her regular rate of pay.
(l) Early Exercise. With respect to an Option granted prior to the IPO Date, the Option may,
but need not, include a provision whereby the Participant may elect at any time before the
Participants Continuous Service terminates to exercise the Option as to any part or all of the
shares of Common Stock subject to the Option prior to the full vesting of the Option. Any unvested
shares of Common Stock so purchased may be subject to a repurchase option in favor of the Company
or to any other restriction the Board determines to be appropriate. The Company shall not be
required to exercise its repurchase option until at least six (6) months (or such longer or shorter
period of time required to avoid classification of the Option as a liability for financial
accounting purposes) have elapsed following exercise of the Option unless the Board otherwise
specifically provides in the Option Agreement.
6. Provisions of Stock Awards other than Options and SARs.
(a) Restricted Stock Awards. Each Restricted Stock Award Agreement shall be in such form and
shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. To the extent
consistent with the Companys Bylaws, at the Boards election, shares of Common Stock may be (x)
held in book entry form subject to the Companys instructions until any restrictions relating to
the Restricted Stock Award lapse; or (y) evidenced by a certificate, which certificate shall be
held in such form and manner as determined by the Board. The terms and conditions of Restricted
Stock Award Agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate
Restricted Stock Award Agreements need not be identical; provided, however, that each Restricted
Stock Award Agreement shall conform to (through incorporation of the provisions hereof by reference
in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:
(i) Consideration. A Restricted Stock Award may be awarded in consideration for (A) cash,
check, bank draft or money order payable to the Company, (B) past services to the Company or an
Affiliate, or (C) any other form of legal consideration (including future services) that may be
acceptable to the Board, in its sole discretion, and permissible under applicable law.
(ii) Vesting. Shares of Common Stock awarded under the Restricted Stock Award Agreement may
be subject to forfeiture to the Company in accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by
the Board.
(iii) Termination of Participants Continuous Service. If a Participants Continuous Service
terminates, the Company may receive through a forfeiture condition or a repurchase right any or all
of the shares of Common Stock held by the Participant that have not vested as of the date of
termination of Continuous Service under the terms of the Restricted Stock Award Agreement.
10
(iv) Transferability. Rights to acquire shares of Common Stock under the Restricted Stock
Award Agreement shall be transferable by the Participant only upon such terms and conditions as are
set forth in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement, as the Board shall determine in its sole
discretion, so long as Common Stock awarded under the Restricted Stock Award Agreement remains
subject to the terms of the Restricted Stock Award Agreement.
(v) Dividends. A Restricted Stock Award Agreement may provide that any dividends paid on
Restricted Stock will be subject to the same vesting and forfeiture restrictions as apply to the
shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award to which they relate.
(b) Restricted Stock Unit Awards. Each Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement shall be in such
form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. The terms
and conditions of Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreements may change from time to time, and the
terms and conditions of separate Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreements need not be identical;
provided, however, that each Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement shall conform to (through
incorporation of the provisions hereof by reference in the Agreement or otherwise) the substance of
each of the following provisions:
(i) Consideration. At the time of grant of a Restricted Stock Unit Award, the Board will
determine the consideration, if any, to be paid by the Participant upon delivery of each share of
Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award. The consideration to be paid (if any) by
the Participant for each share of Common Stock subject to a Restricted Stock Unit Award may be paid
in any form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board in its sole discretion and
permissible under applicable law.
(ii) Vesting. At the time of the grant of a Restricted Stock Unit Award, the Board may impose
such restrictions on or conditions to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit Award as it, in its
sole discretion, deems appropriate.
(iii) Payment. A Restricted Stock Unit Award may be settled by the delivery of shares of
Common Stock, their cash equivalent, any combination thereof or in any other form of consideration,
as determined by the Board and contained in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement.
(iv) Additional Restrictions. At the time of the grant of a Restricted Stock Unit Award, the
Board, as it deems appropriate, may impose such restrictions or conditions that delay the delivery
of the shares of Common Stock (or their cash equivalent) subject to a Restricted Stock Unit Award
to a time after the vesting of such Restricted Stock Unit Award.
(v) Dividend Equivalents. Dividend equivalents may be credited in respect of shares of Common
Stock covered by a Restricted Stock Unit Award, as determined by the Board and contained in the
Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement. At the sole discretion of the Board, such dividend
equivalents may be converted into additional shares of Common Stock covered by the Restricted Stock
Unit Award in such manner as determined by the Board. Any additional shares covered by the
Restricted Stock Unit Award credited by reason of such dividend equivalents will be subject to all
the terms and conditions of the underlying Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement to which they
relate.
11
(vi) Termination of Participants Continuous Service. Except as otherwise provided in the
applicable Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, such portion of the Restricted Stock Unit Award
that has not vested will be forfeited upon the Participants termination of Continuous Service.
(c) Performance Awards.
(i) Performance Stock Awards. A Performance Stock Award is a Stock Award that may vest or may
be exercised contingent upon the attainment during a Performance Period of certain Performance
Goals. A Performance Stock Award may, but need not, require the completion of a specified period
of Continuous Service. The length of any Performance Period, the Performance Goals to be achieved
during the Performance Period, and the measure of whether and to what degree such Performance Goals
have been attained shall be conclusively determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. The
maximum number of shares covered by an Award that may be granted to any Participant in a calendar
year attributable to Stock Awards described in this Section 6(c)(i) (whether the grant, vesting or
exercise is contingent upon the attainment during a Performance Period of the Performance Goals)
shall not exceed 2,750,000 shares of Common Stock. The Board may provide for or, subject to such
terms and conditions as the Board may specify, may permit a Participant to elect for, the payment
of any Performance Stock Award to be deferred to a specified date or event. In addition, to the
extent permitted by applicable law and the applicable Award Agreement, the Board may determine that
cash may be used in payment of Performance Stock Awards.
(ii) Performance Cash Awards. A Performance Cash Award is a cash award that may be paid
contingent upon the attainment during a Performance Period of certain Performance Goals. A
Performance Cash Award may also require the completion of a specified period of Continuous Service.
At the time of grant of a Performance Cash Award, the length of any Performance Period, the
Performance Goals to be achieved during the Performance Period, and the measure of whether and to
what degree such Performance Goals have been attained shall be conclusively determined by the
Committee, in its sole discretion. In any calendar year, the Committee may not grant a Performance
Cash Award that has a maximum value that may be paid to any Participant in excess of $1,000,000.
The Board may provide for or, subject to such terms and conditions as the Board may specify, may
permit a Participant to elect for, the payment of any Performance Cash Award to be deferred to a
specified date or event. The Board may specify the form of payment of Performance Cash Awards,
which may be cash or other property, or may provide for a Participant to have the option for his or
her Performance Cash Award, or such portion thereof as the Board may specify, to be paid in whole
or in part in cash or other property.
(iii) Board Discretion. The Committee retains the discretion to reduce or eliminate the
compensation or economic benefit due upon attainment of Performance Goals and to define the manner
of calculating the Performance Criteria it selects to use for a Performance Period.
(iv) Section 162(m) Compliance. Unless otherwise permitted in compliance with the
requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code with respect to an Award intended to qualify as
performance-based compensation thereunder, the Committee shall establish the
12
Performance Goals applicable to, and the formula for calculating the amount payable under, the
Award no later than the earlier of (a) the date ninety (90) days after the commencement of the
applicable Performance Period, or (b) the date on which twenty-five percent (25%) of the
Performance Period has elapsed, and in either event at a time when the achievement of the
applicable Performance Goals remains substantially uncertain. Prior to the payment of any
compensation under an Award intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section
162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall certify the extent to which any Performance Goals and any
other material terms under such Award have been satisfied (other than in cases where such relate
solely to the increase in the value of the Common Stock). Notwithstanding satisfaction of any
completion of any Performance Goals, to the extent specified at the time of grant of an Award to
covered employees within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the number of shares of
Common Stock, Options, cash or other benefits granted, issued, retainable and/or vested under an
Award on account of satisfaction of such Performance Goals may be reduced by the Committee on the
basis of such further considerations as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine.
(d) Other Stock Awards. Other forms of Stock Awards valued in whole or in part by reference
to, or otherwise based on, Common Stock, including the appreciation in value thereof (e.g., options
or stock rights with an exercise price or strike price less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of
the Common Stock at the time of grant) may be granted either alone or in addition to Stock Awards
provided for under Section 5 and the preceding provisions of this Section 6. Subject to the
provisions of this Plan, the Board shall have sole and complete authority to determine the persons
to whom and the time or times at which such Other Stock Awards will be granted, the number of
shares of Common Stock (or the cash equivalent thereof) to be granted pursuant to such Other Stock
Awards and all other terms and conditions of such Other Stock Awards.
7. Covenants of the Company.
(a) Availability of Shares. During the terms of the Stock Awards, the Company shall keep
available at all times the number of shares of Common Stock reasonably required to satisfy such
Stock Awards.
(b) Securities Law Compliance. The Company shall seek to obtain from each regulatory
commission or agency having jurisdiction over this Plan such authority as may be required to grant
Stock Awards and to issue and sell shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Stock Awards;
provided, however, that this undertaking shall not require the Company to register under the
Securities Act this Plan, any Stock Award or any Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any
such Stock Award. If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain from any such
regulatory commission or agency the authority that counsel for the Company deems necessary for the
lawful issuance and sale of Common Stock under this Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any
liability for failure to issue and sell Common Stock upon exercise of such Stock Awards unless and
until such authority is obtained. A Participant shall not be eligible for the grant of a Stock
Award or the subsequent issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the Stock Award if such grant or
issuance would be in violation of any applicable securities law.
13
(c) No Obligation to Notify or Minimize Taxes. The Company shall have no duty or obligation
to any holder of an Award to advise such holder as to the time or manner of exercising such Stock
Award. Furthermore, the Company shall have no duty or obligation to warn or otherwise advise such
holder of a pending termination or expiration of a Stock Award or a possible period in which the
Stock Award may not be exercised. The Company has no duty or obligation to minimize the tax
consequences of a Stock Award to the holder of such Stock Award.
8. Miscellaneous.
(a) Use of Proceeds from Sales of Common Stock. Proceeds from the sale of shares of Common
Stock pursuant to Stock Awards shall constitute general funds of the Company.
(b) Corporate Action Constituting Grant of Stock Awards. Corporate action constituting a
grant by the Company of a Stock Award to any Participant shall be deemed completed as of the date
of such corporate action, unless otherwise determined by the Board, regardless of when the
instrument, certificate or letter evidencing the Stock Award is communicated to, or actually
received or accepted by, the Participant.
(c) Stockholder Rights. No Participant shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of
the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Common Stock subject to such Stock Award
unless and until such Participant has satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Stock Award
pursuant to its terms and the Participant shall not be deemed to be a stockholder of record until
the issuance of the Common Stock pursuant to such exercise has been entered into the books and
records of the Company.
(d) No Employment or Other Service Rights. Nothing in this Plan, any Award Agreement or any
other instrument executed thereunder or in connection with any 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 (i) the employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without
cause, (ii) the service of a Consultant pursuant to the terms of such Consultants agreement with
the Company or an Affiliate, or (iii) the service of a Director pursuant to the 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.
(e) Incentive Stock Option $100,000 Limitation. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market
Value (determined at the time of grant) of Common Stock 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 any Affiliates) exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), the
Options or portions thereof that exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were
granted) shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options, notwithstanding any contrary provision of
the applicable Option Agreement(s).
14
(f) Investment Assurances. The Company may require a Participant, as a condition of
exercising or acquiring Common Stock under any Stock Award, (i) to give written assurances
satisfactory to the Company as to the Participants knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters and/or to employ a purchaser representative reasonably satisfactory to the Company
who is knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters and that he or she is
capable of evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser representative, the merits and risks of
exercising the Stock Award; and (ii) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating
that the Participant is acquiring Common Stock subject to the Stock Award for the Participants own
account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the Common Stock.
The foregoing requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to such requirements, shall be
inoperative if (A) the issuance of the shares upon the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock
under the Stock Award has been registered under a then currently effective registration statement
under the Securities Act, or (B) as to any particular requirement, a determination is made by
counsel for the Company that such requirement need not be met in the circumstances under the then
applicable securities laws. The Company may, upon advice of counsel to the Company, place legends
on stock certificates issued under this Plan as such counsel deems necessary, appropriate or
desirable to comply with applicable securities laws, including, but not limited to, legends
restricting the transfer of the Common Stock.
(g) Withholding Obligations. Unless prohibited by the terms of an Award Agreement, the
Company may, in its sole discretion, satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation
relating to an Award by any of the following means (in addition to the Companys right to withhold
from any compensation paid to the Participant by the Company) or by a combination of such means:
(i) causing the Participant to tender a cash payment; (ii) withholding shares of Common Stock from
the shares of Common Stock issued or otherwise issuable to the Participant in connection with the
Stock Award; provided, however, that no shares of Common Stock are withheld with a value exceeding
the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law (or such lower amount as may be necessary
to avoid classification of the Stock Award as a liability for financial accounting purposes); (iii)
withholding payment from any amounts otherwise payable to the Participant; (iv) withholding cash
from an Award settled in cash; or (v) by such other method as may be set forth in the Award
Agreement.
(h) Electronic Delivery. Any reference herein to a written agreement or document shall
include any agreement or document delivered electronically or posted on the Companys intranet (or
other shared electronic medium controlled by the Company to which the Participant has access).
(i) Deferrals. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board, in its sole discretion,
may determine that the delivery of Common Stock or the payment of cash, upon the exercise, vesting
or settlement of all or a portion of any Award may be deferred and may establish programs and
procedures for deferral elections to be made by Participants. Deferrals by Participants will be
made in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. Consistent with Section 409A of the Code, the
Board may provide for distributions while a Participant is still an employee or otherwise providing
services to the Company. The Board is authorized to make deferrals of Awards and determine when,
and in what annual percentages, Participants may receive payments, including lump sum payments,
following the Participants termination of
15
Continuous Service, and implement such other terms and conditions consistent with the
provisions of this Plan and in accordance with applicable law.
(j) Compliance with Section 409A. To the extent that the Board determines that any Award
granted hereunder is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award
shall incorporate the terms and conditions necessary to avoid the consequences specified in Section
409A(a)(1) of the Code. To the extent applicable, this Plan and Award Agreements shall be
interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Plan (and unless the Award Agreement specifically provides otherwise), if the shares of
Common Stock are publicly traded and a Participant holding an Award that constitutes deferred
compensation under Section 409A of the Code is a specified employee for purposes of Section 409A
of the Code, no distribution or payment of any amount shall be made upon a separation from
service before a date that is six (6) months following the date of such Participants separation
from service (as defined in Section 409A of the Code without regard to alternative definitions
thereunder) or, if earlier, the date of the Participants death.
9. Adjustments upon Changes in Common Stock; Other Corporate Events.
(a) Capitalization Adjustments.
(i) Reverse Stock Split. In the event of a Reverse Stock Split, the maximum number of
securities subject to this Plan pursuant to Section 3(a) (including the number of securities that
may be added to the shares available for issuance each year and the maximum aggregate number of
securities that may become available for issuance under this Plan pursuant to the annual evergreen
clause in Section 3(a)), the maximum number of securities that may be issued pursuant to the
exercise of Incentive Stock Options pursuant to Section 3(c), the maximum number of securities that
may be awarded to any person pursuant to Sections 3(d) and 6(c)(i) and the number of securities and
price per share of stock subject to outstanding Stock Awards shall be automatically adjusted to
take into account the Reverse Stock Split.
(ii) Capitalization Adjustments. In the event of a Capitalization Adjustment except for the
Reverse Stock Split, the Board shall appropriately and proportionately adjust: (A) the class(es)
and maximum number of securities subject to this Plan pursuant to Section 3(a), (B) the class(es)
and maximum number of securities that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock
Options pursuant to Section 3(c), (C) the class(es) and maximum number of securities that may be
awarded to any person pursuant to Sections 3(d) and 6(c)(i), and (iv) the class(es) and number of
securities and price per share of stock subject to outstanding Stock Awards. The Board shall make
such adjustments, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.
(b) Dissolution or Liquidation. Except as otherwise provided in the Stock Award Agreement, in
the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all outstanding Stock Awards (other than
Stock Awards consisting of vested and outstanding shares of Common Stock not subject to a
forfeiture condition or the Companys right of repurchase) shall terminate immediately prior to the
completion of such dissolution or liquidation, and the shares of Common Stock subject to the
Companys repurchase rights or subject to a forfeiture condition
16
may be repurchased by or reacquired by the Company notwithstanding the fact that the holder of
such Stock Award is providing Continuous Service; provided, however, that the Board may, in its
sole discretion, cause some or all Stock Awards to become fully vested, exercisable and/or no
longer subject to repurchase or forfeiture (to the extent such Stock Awards have not previously
expired or terminated) before the dissolution or liquidation is completed but contingent on its
completion.
(c) Corporate Transaction. The following provisions shall apply to Stock Awards in the event
of a Corporate Transaction unless otherwise provided in the instrument evidencing the Stock Award
or any other written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the Participant or unless
otherwise expressly provided by the Board at the time of grant of a Stock Award. If there is a
Corporate Transaction, then the Board, or the board of directors of any corporation or entity
assuming the obligations of the Company, shall take any one or more of the following actions as to
outstanding Stock Awards in its sole and absolute discretion:
(i) Stock Awards May Be Continued, Assumed or Substituted. Any surviving corporation or
acquiring corporation (or the surviving or acquiring corporations parent company) may assume or
continue any or all Stock Awards outstanding under this Plan or may substitute similar stock awards
for Stock Awards outstanding under this Plan (including but not limited to, awards to acquire the
same consideration paid to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the Corporate Transaction),
and any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the Company in respect of Common Stock issued
pursuant to Stock Awards may be assigned by the Company to the successor of the Company (or the
successors parent company, if any), in connection with such Corporate Transaction. A surviving
corporation or acquiring corporation (or its parent) may choose to assume or continue only a
portion of a Stock Award or substitute a similar stock award for only a portion of a Stock Award,
or may assume, continue or substitute some Stock Awards and not others. The terms of any
assumption, continuation or substitution shall be set by the Board in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.
(ii) Accelerated Vesting of Stock Awards. The vesting of any or all Stock Awards (and, with
respect to Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, the time at which such Stock Awards may be
exercised) may be accelerated in full or in part to a date on or prior to the effective time of
such Corporate Transaction (contingent upon the effectiveness of the Corporate Transaction) as the
Board shall determine, and the Board may further determine that any reacquisition or repurchase
rights held by the Company with respect to a Stock Award shall lapse in full or in part as of a
date on or prior to the effective time of such Corporate Transaction (contingent upon the
effectiveness of the Corporate Transaction). Any Stock Award whose vesting has been fully
accelerated under this provision may be terminated by the Board in its discretion if such Award is
not exercised, if applicable, on or prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction.
(iii) Termination of Stock Awards. The Board may provide that all Stock Awards (including
vested Awards that are not exercised) shall immediately terminate without the payment of any
consideration and shall be of no further force or effect as of the effective time of a Corporate
Transaction that is also a Change in Control.
17
(iv) Payment for Stock Awards in Lieu of Exercise. The Board may provide that the holder of a
Stock Award may not exercise such Stock Award but will receive a payment, in such form as may be
determined by the Board, equal in value to the excess, if any, of (A) the value of the property the
holder of the Stock Award would have received upon the exercise of the Stock Award (including, at
the discretion of the Board, any unvested portion of such Stock Award), over (B) any exercise price
payable by such holder in connection with such exercise. The Board may provide that part or all of
such payment may be delayed in recognition of escrows, earn outs or other contingencies or hold
backs applicable to the holders of Common Stock as part of the Corporate Transaction.
The Board need not take the same action or actions with respect to all Stock Awards or portions
thereof or with respect to all Participants. The Board may take different actions with respect to
the vested and unvested portions of a Stock Award.
(d) Change in Control. A Stock Award may be subject to additional acceleration of vesting and
exercisability upon or after a Change in Control as may be provided in the Stock Award Agreement
for such Stock Award or as may be provided in any other written agreement between the Company or
any Affiliate and the Participant, but in the absence of such provision, no such acceleration shall
occur.
10. Termination or Suspension of this Plan.
(a) Plan Term. The Board may suspend or terminate this Plan at any time. Unless terminated
sooner by the Board, this Plan shall automatically terminate on April 28, 2019, which is the day
before the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Original Effective Date. No Awards may be granted under
this Plan while this Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.
(b) No Impairment of Rights. Suspension or termination of this Plan shall not impair rights
and obligations under any Award granted while this Plan is in effect except with the written
consent of the affected Participant.
11. Effective Date of Plan.
This Plan initially became effective on the Original Effective Date. Prior to the initial
public offering of the Common Stock, the Board amended and restated this Plan and the stockholders
approved the amendment and restatement. The Amended and Restated 2009 Equity Incentive Plan shall
become effective on the IPO Date.
12. Choice of Law.
The law of the State of Delaware shall govern all questions concerning the construction,
validity and interpretation of this Plan, without regard to that states conflict of laws rules.
13. Definitions. As used in this Plan, the following definitions shall apply to the
capitalized terms indicated below:
(a) Affiliate means, at the time of determination, any parent or subsidiary of the

(b) Award means a Stock Award or a Performance Cash Award.
(c) Award Agreement means a written agreement between the Company and a Participant
evidencing the terms and conditions of an Award.
(d) Board means the Board of Directors of the Company.

consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in
property other than cash, large nonrecurring cash dividend, stock split, liquidating dividend,
combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or any similar equity
restructuring transaction, as that term is used in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
123 (revised). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conversion of any convertible securities of the
Company shall not be treated as a Capitalization Adjustment.
(f) Cause shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in any then effective employment
agreement or other letter between the Participant and the Company, or if no such agreement or
letter exists, or if the term is not defined, shall mean with respect to a Participant, the
occurrence of any of the following events: (i) such Participants commission of any felony or any
crime involving fraud, embezzlement, theft, dishonesty or other criminal act under the laws of the
United States or any state thereof; or (ii) such Participants insubordination or willful failure
to comply with the reasonable material directions of an officer of the Company or the continued
willful neglect or refusal by Participant to perform such Participants duties or responsibilities
(unless such duties or responsibilities are significantly and adversely changed and Participant has
objected to such changes in a writing presented to an officer of the Company). The determination
that a termination of the Participants Continuous Service is either for Cause or without Cause
shall be made by the Company in its sole discretion. Any determination by the Company that the
Continuous Service of a Participant was terminated by reason of dismissal without Cause for the
purposes of outstanding Stock Awards held by such Participant shall have no effect upon any
determination of the rights or obligations of the Company or such Participant for any other
purpose.
(g) Change in Control means the occurrence, in a single transaction or in a series of
related transactions, of any one or more of the following events:
(i) any Exchange Act Person becomes the Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the
Company representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the Companys
then outstanding securities other than by virtue of a merger, consolidation or similar transaction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur (A) on account of
the acquisition of securities of the Company by an investor, any affiliate thereof or any other
Exchange Act Person that acquires the Companys securities in a transaction or series of related
transactions the primary purpose of which is to
19
obtain financing for the Company through the issuance of equity securities (which includes an
offering of Common Stock to the general public through a registration statement filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission), or (B) solely because the level of Ownership held by any
Exchange Act Person (the Subject Person) exceeds the designated percentage threshold of the
outstanding voting securities as a result of a repurchase or other acquisition of voting securities
by the Company reducing the number of shares outstanding, provided that if a Change in Control
would occur (but for the operation of this subsection (B)) as a result of the acquisition of voting
securities by the Company, and after such share acquisition, the Subject Person becomes the Owner
of any additional voting securities that, assuming the repurchase or other acquisition had not
occurred, increases the percentage of the then outstanding voting securities Owned by the Subject
Person over the designated percentage threshold, then a Change in Control shall be deemed to occur;
(ii) there is consummated a merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving (directly
or indirectly) the Company and, immediately after the consummation of such merger, consolidation or
similar transaction, the stockholders of the Company immediately prior thereto do not Own, directly
or indirectly, either (A) outstanding voting securities representing more than fifty percent (50%)
of the combined outstanding voting power of the surviving Entity in such merger, consolidation or
similar transaction or (B) more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined outstanding voting power
of the parent of the surviving Entity in such merger, consolidation or similar transaction, in each
case in substantially the same proportions as their Ownership of the outstanding voting securities
of the Company immediately prior to such transaction;
(iii) there is consummated a sale, lease, exclusive license or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, other than a
sale, lease, license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of
the Company and its Subsidiaries to an Entity, more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting
power of the voting securities of which are Owned by stockholders of the Company in substantially
the same proportions as their Ownership of the outstanding voting securities of the Company
immediately prior to such sale, lease, license or other disposition; or
(iv) individuals who, on the IPO Date, are members of the Board (the Incumbent Board) cease
for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the members of the Board; provided, however,
that if the appointment or election (or nomination for election) of any new Board member was
approved or recommended by a majority vote of the members of the Incumbent Board then still in
office, such new member shall, for purposes of this Plan, be considered as a member of the
Incumbent Board.
Notwithstanding the foregoing definition or any other provision of this Plan, (A) the term
Change in Control shall not include a sale of assets, merger or other transaction effected
exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company, and (B) the definition of
Change in Control (or any analogous term) in an individual written agreement between the Company or
any Affiliate and the Participant shall supersede the foregoing definition with respect to Stock
Awards subject to such agreement; provided, however, that if no definition of Change in Control or
any analogous term is set forth in such an individual written agreement, the foregoing definition
shall apply.
20
(h) Code means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including any applicable
regulations and guidance thereunder.
(i) Committee means a committee of two (2) or more Directors to whom authority has been
delegated by the Board in accordance with Section 2(c).

(k) Company means BroadSoft, Inc., a Delaware corporation.
(l) Consultant means any person, including an advisor, who is (i) engaged by the Company or
an Affiliate to render consulting or advisory services and is compensated for such services, or
(ii) serving as a member of the board of directors of an Affiliate and is compensated for such
services. However, service solely as a Director, or payment of a fee for such service, shall not
cause a Director to be considered a Consultant for purposes of this Plan. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a person is treated as a Consultant under this Plan only if a Form S-8 Registration
Statement under the Securities Act is available to register either the offer or the sale of the
Companys securities to such person.
(m) Continuous Service means that the Participants service with the Company or an
Affiliate, whether as an Employee, Director or Consultant, is not interrupted or terminated. A
change in the capacity in which the Participant renders service to the Company or an Affiliate as
an Employee, Director, or Consultant or a change in the Entity for which the Participant renders
such service, provided that there is no interruption or termination of the Participants service
with the Company or an Affiliate, shall not terminate a Participants Continuous Service; provided,
however, if the Entity for which a Participant is rendering service ceases to qualify as an
Affiliate, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, such Participants Continuous Service
shall be considered to have terminated on the date such Entity ceases to qualify as an Affiliate.
For example, a change in status from an employee of the Company to a consultant of an Affiliate or
to a Director shall not constitute an interruption of Continuous Service. To the extent permitted
by law, the Board or the chief executive officer of the Company, in that partys sole discretion,
may determine whether Continuous Service shall be considered interrupted in the case of any leave
of absence approved by that party, including sick leave, military leave or any other personal
leave. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a leave of absence shall be treated as Continuous Service
for purposes of vesting in a Stock Award only to such extent as may be provided in the Companys
leave of absence policy, in the written terms of any leave of absence agreement or policy
applicable to the Participant, or as otherwise required by law.
(n) Corporate Transaction means the consummation, in a single transaction or in a series of
related transactions, of any one or more of the following events:
(i) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all, as determined by the Board in its
sole discretion, of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries;
(ii) a sale or other disposition of at least fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding securities
of the Company;
21
(iii) a merger, consolidation or similar transaction following which the Company is not the
surviving corporation; or
(iv) a merger, consolidation or similar transaction following which the Company is the
surviving corporation but the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately preceding the merger,
consolidation or similar transaction are converted or exchanged by virtue of the merger,
consolidation or similar transaction into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash
or otherwise.
(o) Covered Employee shall have the meaning provided in Section 162(m)(3) of the Code.
(p) Director means a member of the Board.
(q) Disability means, with respect to a Participant, the inability of such Participant to
engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or
mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or that has lasted or can be expected to

and 409A(a)(2)(c)(i) of the Code, and shall be determined by the Board on the basis of such medical
