authorization, necessary or desirable so that the Company may satisfy its obligation under applicable income tax laws to withhold for income or other taxes due upon or incident to such exercise. The Compensation Committee, may, in its discretion, permit such withholding obligation to be satisfied through the withholding of Stock that would otherwise be delivered upon exercise of the Option.

(d) Delivery. As a condition to delivery of any Stock upon exercise of an Option, the Company shall have the right to require that the Grantee become party to any stockholders’ agreement as then in effect.

No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the shares of Stock are issued, except as may otherwise be required pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

(h) Vesting Schedule. Unless otherwise determined in the Award Agreement, provided that the Grantee continues to provide services to the Company or any Affiliate at all times from the date of grant:

a. Time-based RSUs shall vest in equal annual installments of one-third of the shares of Stock subject to the RSU on each anniversary of the vesting commencement date. Such vesting shall continue until (i) all of the RSUs are vested, (ii) the date of Grantee’s termination as a service provider to the Company or an Affiliate, or (iii) vesting otherwise terminates pursuant to the Award Agreement or the Plan.

In addition, the Compensation Committee is authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, any Award in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company or any Affiliate of the Company or the financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, or in response to changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles.

(d) Certificates for Stock. Option Shares and RSU Shares received on exercise of Options or settlement of RSUs issued under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Compensation Committee shall determine.

SECTION 10. [RESERVED]

SECTION 11. GENERAL PROVISIONS

(a) Rights to Future Grants.

All Grantees shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Plan were not in effect.
