Exhibit 10.3
SPACE EXPLORATION TECHNOLOGIES CORP.
AMENDED & RESTATED 2015 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
(Amended on April 20, 2021 and June 22, 2023)
ORIGINALLY ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS: March 4, 2015
AMENDED AND RESTATED: February 11, 2021
TERMINATION DATE:  March 3, 2025
1.GENERAL.
(a)Status of 2012 Plan. The Plan was originally adopted by the Board effective as of
March 3, 2015 (the “Original Effective Date”) as a new equity incentive plan that was separate
from the Space Exploration Technologies Corp. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”).
The 2012 Plan has remained in effect on and after the Original Effective Date of this Plan, but no
new awards have been made under the 2012 Plan since this Plan was adopted.  All stock awards 
granted under the 2012 Plan are subject to the terms of the 2012 Plan, and not this Plan, except to
the extent expressly provided herein. Upon the Original Effective Date, 2,014,056 shares of
Class C Common Stock were added to this Plan’s Share Reserve (as further described in Section
3(a)) and were then immediately available for issuance pursuant to Equity Awards. Those shares
of Class C Common Stock were equivalent to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
that, as of the Original Effective Date, were not subject to outstanding awards under the 2012
Plan and were therefore held in reserve under the 2012 Plan, but not being used .
(b)Returning Shares Under the 2012 Plan.
(i)From and after the Original Effective Date, all outstanding stock awards
granted under the 2012 Plan remained subject to the terms of the 2012 Plan, except as provided
in an Equity Award Agreement; provided, however, that for any shares that are subject to
outstanding stock awards granted under the 2012 Plan that (i) expire or terminate for any reason
prior to exercise or settlement; (ii) are forfeited because of the failure to meet a contingency or
condition required to vest such shares or are repurchased at the original issuance price; or (iii) are
reacquired, withheld (or not issued) to satisfy a tax withholding obligation in connection with an
award (the “Expired 2012 Plan Shares”), an equal number of shares of Class C Common Stock
(the “2012 Returning Shares”) will be immediately added to the Share Reserve (as further
described in Section 3(a)) as and when the shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for
issuance under the 2012 Plan become Expired 2012 Plan Shares, and the 2012 Returning Shares
will then become available for issuance as shares of Class C Common Stock pursuant to Equity
Awards granted under the Plan.
(ii)In addition, from and after the Original Effective Date, all outstanding
stock awards granted under the Space Exploration Technologies Corp. 2002 Stock Plan (the
2002 Plan,” and together with the 2012 Plan, the “Prior Plans”) remained subject to the terms
of the 2002 Plan, except as provided in an Equity Award Agreement; provided, however, that for
any shares that are subject to outstanding stock awards granted under the 2002 Plan that (i)
2
expire or terminate for any reason prior to exercise or settlement; (ii) are forfeited because of the
failure to meet a contingency or condition required to vest such shares or are repurchased at the
original issuance price; or (iii) are reacquired, withheld (or not issued) to satisfy a tax
withholding obligation in connection with an award (the “Expired 2002 Plan Shares”), an equal
number of shares of Class C Common Stock (the “2002 Returning Shares,” and together with
the 2012 Returning Shares, the “Returning Shares”) will immediately be added to the Share
Reserve (as further described in Section 3(a)) as and when the shares of Class B Common Stock
reserved for issuance under the 2002 Plan become Expired 2002 Plan Shares, and the 2002
Returning Shares will then become available for issuance as Class C Common Stock pursuant to
Equity Awards granted under the Plan.
(c)Eligible Equity Award Recipients.  The persons eligible to receive Equity
Awards are Employees, Directors and Consultants.
(d)Available Equity Awards.  The Plan provides for the grant of the following
Equity Awards:  (i) Incentive Stock Options; (ii) Nonstatutory Stock Options; (iii) Stock
Appreciation Rights; (iv) Restricted Stock Awards; (v) Restricted Stock Unit Awards; and (vi)
Other Equity Awards.
(e)Purpose.  The Company, by means of the Plan, seeks to secure and retain the
services of the group of persons eligible to receive Equity Awards as set forth in Section 1(c), 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
Equity Awards.
(f)Purpose of Amendment and Restatement. This amended and restated Plan is
being adopted by the Board as of February 11, 2021 (the “Amended and Restated Effective
Date”).  The purpose of this amendment and restatement is to amend the Plan so that shares of
the Company’s Class B Common Stock may be issued pursuant to Equity Awards.
2.ADMINISTRATION.
(a)Administration by Board.  The Board will administer the Plan unless and until
the Board delegates administration of the Plan to a Committee or Committees, as provided in
Section 2(c).
(b)Powers of Board.  The Board will have the power, subject to, and within the
limitations of, the express provisions of the Plan:
(i)To determine from time to time (A) which of the persons eligible under
the Plan will be granted Equity Awards, (B) when and how each Equity Award will be granted,
(C) what type or combination of types of Equity Award will be granted, (D) the provisions of
each Equity Award granted (which need not be identical), including the time or times when a
person will be permitted to receive cash or Common Stock pursuant to an Equity Award, (E) the
3
number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which an Equity Award will be granted to
each such person, and (F) the Fair Market Value applicable to an Equity Award.
(ii)To construe and interpret the Plan and Equity Awards granted under it,
and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for administration of the Plan.  The
Board, in the exercise of this power, may correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in the
Plan or in any Equity Award Agreement, in a manner and to the extent it deems necessary or
expedient to make the Plan or Equity Award fully effective.
(iii)To settle all controversies regarding the Plan and Equity Awards granted
under it.
(iv)To accelerate the time at which an Equity Award may first be exercised or
the time during which an Equity Award or any part thereof will vest in accordance with the Plan,
notwithstanding the provisions in the Equity Award stating the time at which it may first be
exercised or the time during which it will vest.
(v)To suspend or terminate the Plan at any time.  Suspension or termination
of the Plan will not impair rights and obligations under any Equity Award granted while the Plan
is in effect except with the written consent of the affected Participant, except as provided in
subsection (viii) below.
(vi)To amend the Plan in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable,
including, without limitation, amendments relating to Incentive Stock Options and certain
nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code and/or to bring the Plan or
Equity Awards granted under the 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, stockholder approval will be required for
any amendment of the Plan that either (A) materially increases the number of shares of common
stock available for issuance under the Plan, (B) materially expands the class of individuals
eligible to receive Equity Awards under the Plan, (C) materially increases the benefits accruing
to Participants under the Plan or materially reduces the price at which shares of common stock
may be issued or purchased under the Plan, (D) materially extends the term of the Plan, or
(E) expands the types of Equity Awards available for issuance under the Plan.  Except as
provided above, rights under any Equity Award granted before amendment of the Plan will not
be impaired by any amendment of the 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 the Plan for stockholder approval, including,
but not limited to, amendments to the Plan intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of
the Code regarding Incentive Stock Options.
(viii)To approve forms of Equity Award Agreements for use under the Plan and
to amend the terms of any one or more Equity Awards, including, but not limited to,
amendments to provide terms more favorable to the Participant than previously provided in the
Equity Award Agreement, subject to any specified limits in the Plan that are not subject to Board
4
discretion; provided, however, that except with respect to amendments that disqualify or impair
the status of an Incentive Stock Option, a Participant’s rights under any Equity Award will 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, (1) a
Participant’s rights will not be deemed to have been impaired by any such amendment if the
Board, in its sole discretion, determines that the amendment, taken as a whole, does not
materially impair the Participant’s rights; and (2) subject to the limitations of applicable law, if
any, the Board may amend the terms of any one or more Equity Awards without the affected
Participant’s consent (A) to maintain the qualified status of the Equity Award as an Incentive
Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code; (B) to change the terms of an Incentive Stock
Option, if such change results in impairment of the Equity Award solely because it impairs the
qualified status of the Equity Award as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the
Code; (C) to clarify the manner of exemption from, or to bring the Equity Award into
compliance with, Section 409A of the Code; or (D) to comply with other applicable laws.
(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 the Plan or Equity Awards.
(x)To adopt such procedures and sub-plans as are necessary or appropriate to
permit participation in the Plan by Employees, Directors or Consultants who are foreign
nationals or employed outside the United States (provided that Board approval will not be
necessary for immaterial modifications to the Plan or any Equity Award Agreement that are
required for compliance with the laws of the relevant foreign jurisdiction).
(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, purchase price or strike
price of any outstanding Equity Award under the Plan, (B) the cancellation of any outstanding
Equity Award under the Plan and the grant in substitution therefore of (1) a new Option or SAR,
(2) a Restricted Stock Award, (3) a Restricted Stock Unit Award, (4) Other Equity Award, (5)
cash and/or (6) other valuable consideration (as determined by the Board, in its sole discretion),
with any such substituted award (x) covering the same or a different number of shares of
Common Stock as the cancelled Equity Award and (y) granted under the Plan or another equity
or compensatory plan of the Company; or (C) any other action that is treated as a repricing under
generally accepted accounting principles.
(c)Delegation to Committee.  The Board may delegate some or all of the
administration of the Plan to a Committee or Committees.  If administration of the Plan is
delegated to a Committee, the Committee will have, in connection with the administration of the
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 will
thereafter be to the Committee or subcommittee), subject, however, to such resolutions, not
inconsistent with the provisions of the 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
5
powers delegated to the subcommittee.  The Board may retain the authority to concurrently
administer the Plan with the Committee and may, at any time, revest in the Board some or all of
the powers previously delegated.
(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 SARs (and, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, other Equity Awards) and the terms thereof, and (ii)
determine the number of shares of common stock to be subject to such Equity Awards granted to
such Officers and Employees; provided, however, that the Board resolutions regarding such
delegation will specify the total number of shares of common stock that may be subject to the
Equity Awards granted by such Officer and that such Officer may not grant an Equity Award to
himself or herself.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may not delegate authority to an
Officer to determine the Fair Market Value pursuant to Section 13(y) below.
(e)Effect of Board’s Decision.  All determinations, interpretations and constructions
made by the Board in good faith will not be subject to review by any person and will be final,
binding and conclusive on all persons.
3.SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.
(a)Share Reserve.
(i)As of the Original Effective Date, the aggregate number of shares of Class
C Common Stock that were available to be issued pursuant to Equity Awards from and after the
Original Effective Date was a maximum of 24,885,967 shares (the “Class C Share Reserve”),
provided, however, that 22,871,911 of the shares of Class C Common Stock subject to this
reserve (“Contingent Shares”) were not immediately available for Equity Awards. As of July 22,
2015, an additional 7,500,000 shares of Class C Common Stock were added to the Class C Share
Reserve, bringing the aggregate number of shares of Class C Common Stock that may be issued
to 32,385,967.  On July 12,2017, the Class C Share Reserved was reduced by 1,000,000 shares,
bringing the aggregate number of shares of Class C Common Stock that may be issued to
31,385,967,  As of the Amended and Restated Effective Date, the Class C Share Reserve was
reduced by 7,000,000 shares of Class C Common stock (as described below), bringing the
aggregate number of shares in the Class C Share Reserve to 24,385,967.  As of April 20, 2021,
an additional 5,000,000 shares of Class C Common Stock were added to the Class C Share
Reserve, bringing the aggregate number of shares of Class C Common Stock that may be issued
to 29,385,967.  On June 22, 2023, the Class C Share Reserve was reduced by 1,000,000 shares,
bringing the aggregate number of shares of Class C Common Stock that may be issued to
28,385,967.  Since the Original Effective Date (and continuing through the Amended and
Restated Effective Date), the Contingent Shares have become available for Equity Awards under
this Plan at the same time, and in the same number, as shares subject to stock awards under the
Prior Plans have been returned to the share reserves under the Prior Plans, and have then become
available for future Equity Awards (i.e., when options under the Prior Plans are cancelled or
terminate without being exercised for failure to meet a vesting contingency). For example, if a
stock option under the 2012 Plan that is outstanding at the Original Effective Date covers 1,000
6
shares of Class A Common Stock, and that option is subsequently forfeited without being
exercised, then, at the time the option is forfeited and terminates, 1,000 shares of Class C
Common Stock have then become available for Equity Awards under this Plan. If instead that
same stock option is exercised in full under the 2012 Plan, then the 1,000 shares of Class C
Common Stock to which that option relates will never become available under this Plan. As of
the Amended and Restated Effective Date and taking into account the an additional 5,000,000
shares of Class C Common Stock added to the Class C Share Reserve on April 20, 2021, the
number of shares of Class C Common Stock currently set aside and being held in reserve under
the Class C Share Reserve is 11,021,083 shares, consisting of: (i) 4,895,535 shares that are
subject to outstanding Equity Awards (but which have not yet been issued), and (ii) 6,125,548
shares that are currently available for future Equity Awards (but which are not currently subject
to an outstanding Equity Award) (this subsection (ii) is referred to as the “Current Available
Class C Share Reserve”).  Additionally, as April 20, 2021, there are 617,045 Contingent Shares
(shares of Class C Common Stock that may become available for future Equity Awards if, as and
when shares of Class A Common Stock subject to outstanding equity awards under the Prior
Plans revert back to those Prior Plans in the future, as described above).     
(ii)As of the Amended and Restated Effective Date, the aggregate number of
shares of Class B Common Stock that are available to be issued pursuant to Equity Awards from
and after the Amended and Restated Effective Date is 7,000,000 shares (the “Class B Share
Reserve” and together with the Class C Share Reserve, the “Share Reserve”).  As of April 20,
2021, the number of shares of Class B Common Stock that are currently available for future
Equity Awards (but which are not currently subject to an outstanding Equity Award) is 0. As of
April 20, 2021, after taking into account the additional 5,000,000 shares of Class C Common
Stock added to the Class C Share Reserve on April 20, 2021, the Current Available Class C
Share Reserve will be 6,125,548 shares.  For clarity, the number of shares of Class C Common
Stock available for future Equity Awards will continue to increase as Contingent Shares are
available for Equity Awards in the future.. 
(iii)For clarity, the Share Reserve in this Section 3(a) is a limitation on the
number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the Plan. Accordingly, this
Section 3(a) does not limit the granting of Equity Awards except as provided in Section 7(a).
(b)Reversion of Shares to the Share Reserve.  If any shares of Common Stock
issued pursuant to an Equity Award are forfeited back to or repurchased by the Company
because of the failure to meet a contingency or condition required to vest such shares in the
Participant, then the shares that are forfeited or repurchased will revert to and again become
available for issuance under the Plan as Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock, as
applicable.  Also, any shares reacquired by the Company pursuant to Section 8(h) or as
consideration for the exercise of an Option will again become available for issuance under the
Plan as Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock, as applicable.
(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
7
aggregate maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to the
exercise of Incentive Stock Options will be 28,385,967 shares of Class C Common Stock.
(d)Source of Shares.  The stock issuable under the Plan will 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 Equity Awards.  Incentive Stock Options may be granted
only to employees of the Company or a “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” thereof
(as such terms are defined in Sections 424(e) and 424(f) of the Code).  Equity Awards other than
Incentive Stock Options may be granted to Employees, Directors and Consultants; provided,
however, that Equity Awards 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, unless the stock underlying such Equity Awards is treated as “service recipient
stock” under Section 409A of the Code because the Equity Awards are granted pursuant to a
corporate transaction (such as a spin off transaction) or unless such Equity Awards comply with
the distribution requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
(b)Ten Percent Stockholders.  A Ten Percent Stockholder will not be granted an
Incentive Stock Option unless the exercise price of such Option is at least 110% of the Fair
Market Value on the date of grant and the Option is not exercisable after the expiration of five
years from the date of grant.
(c)Consultants.  A Consultant will not be eligible for the grant of an Equity Award
if, at the time of grant, either the offer or sale of the Company’s securities to such Consultant is
not exempt under Rule 701 because of the nature of the services that the Consultant is providing
to the Company, because the Consultant is not a natural person, or because of any other
provision of Rule 701, unless the Company determines that such grant need not comply with the
requirements of Rule 701 and will satisfy another exemption under the Securities Act as well as
comply with the securities laws of all other relevant jurisdictions.
5.PROVISIONS RELATING TO OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.
Each Option or SAR will be in such form and will contain such terms and conditions as
the Board deems appropriate.  All Options will 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 will 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 will 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 will conform to (through incorporation of provisions hereof by
8
reference in the applicable Equity 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 will be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the
date of its grant or such shorter period specified in the Equity Award Agreement.
(b)Exercise Price.  Subject to the provisions of Section 4(b) regarding Incentive
Stock Options granted to Ten Percent Stockholders, the exercise price (or strike price) of each
Option or SAR will be not less than 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
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 424(a) of the Code (whether or not such stock awards are
Incentive Stock Options).  Each SAR will be denominated in shares of Common Stock
equivalents.
(c)Purchase Price for Options.  The purchase price of the Common Stock acquired
pursuant to the exercise of an Option will 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 will have the authority to grant Options that do not permit all of the
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 issuable under the Option;
(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
issued 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 will 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 outstanding under an Option
and will not be exercisable thereafter to the extent that (A) shares are used to pay the exercise
9
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;
(v)according to a deferred payment or similar arrangement with the
Optionholder; provided, however, that interest will compound at least annually and will be
charged at the minimum rate of interest necessary to avoid (A) the imputation of interest income
to the Company and compensation income to the Optionholder under any applicable provisions
of the Code, and (B) the classification of the Option as a liability for financial accounting
purposes; or
(vi)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 SAR, the
Participant must provide written notice of exercise to the Company in compliance with the
provisions of the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement evidencing such SAR.  The appreciation
distribution payable on the exercise of a SAR will be not greater than an amount equal to the
excess of (A) the aggregate Fair Market Value (on the date of the exercise of the SAR) of a
number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Common Stock equivalents in which
the Participant is vested under such SAR, and with respect to which the Participant is exercising
the SAR on such date, over (B) the strike price that will be determined by the Board at the time
of grant of the SAR.  The appreciation distribution in respect to a SAR 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 SAR.
(e)Transferability of Options and SARs.  Except as set forth in this Section 5(e) or
as otherwise determined by the Board under terms that are not prohibited by applicable tax and
securities laws, Options and SARs will not be transferable.  The Board may, in its sole
discretion, impose additional limitations on the transferability of Options and SARs in the
applicable Equity Award Agreement.
(i)Restrictions on Transfer.  An Option or SAR will not be transferable
except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution (and pursuant to subsections (ii) and (iii)
below) and will 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 and in a manner that is not prohibited by applicable tax and securities laws (including but
not limited to Rule 701) upon the Participant’s request.  Except as explicitly provided herein,
neither an Option nor a SAR may be transferred for consideration.
(ii)Domestic Relations Orders.  Upon receiving written permission from the
Board or its duly authorized designee, 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 may be deemed to be a Nonstatutory Stock Option as a result of such transfer.
(iii)Beneficiary Designation.  Upon receiving written permission from the
Board or its duly authorized designee, the Participant may, by delivering written notice to the
10
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, will thereafter be the beneficiary of the
Option or SAR with the right 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 Participant’s estate will be entitled to exercise the Option or
SAR and receive the Common Stock, or other consideration resulting from such exercise. 
However, the Company may prohibit designation of a beneficiary at any time, including due to
any conclusion by the Company that such designation would be inconsistent with the provisions
of applicable laws.
(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 Equity Award Agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the
Company, in the event that a Participant’s Continuous Service terminates (other than for Cause
or upon the Participant’s death or Disability), the Participant may exercise his or her Option or
SAR (to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise such Equity 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 sixty (60) days following the termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service
(or such longer or shorter period specified in the applicable Equity Award Agreement, which
period will not be less than 30 days if necessary to comply with applicable laws unless such
termination is for Cause) or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option or SAR as set forth in the
Equity 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 Equity Award
Agreement (as applicable), the Option or SAR will terminate.
(h)Extension of Termination Date.  Except as otherwise provided in the applicable
Equity Award Agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Company, if the
exercise of the Option or SAR following the termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service
(other than for Cause or upon the Participant’s 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 will terminate on the earlier of
(i) the expiration of a total period of sixty (60) days (that need not be consecutive) after the
termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service during 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 Equity Award Agreement.  In addition, unless
otherwise provided in a Participant’s Equity Award Agreement, if the immediate sale of any
Common Stock received upon exercise of an Option or SAR following the termination of the
11
Participant’s Continuous Service (other than for Cause) would violate the Company’s insider
trading policy, then the Option or SAR will terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of a
period equal to the applicable post-termination exercise period after the termination of the
Participant’s Continuous Service during which the sale of Common Stock received upon exercise
of the Option or SAR would not be in-violation of the Company’s insider trading policy, or
(ii) the expiration of the term of the Option or SAR as set forth in the applicable Equity Award
Agreement.
(i)Disability of Participant.  Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Equity
Award Agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Company, in the event
that a Participant’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Participant’s 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 12 months following such
termination of Continuous Service (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Equity
Award Agreement, which period will not be less than six months if necessary to comply with
applicable laws), or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option or SAR as set forth in the Equity
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 Equity Award Agreement (as
applicable), the Option or SAR will terminate.
(j)Death of Participant.  Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Equity
Award Agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Company, in the event
that (i) a Participant’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Participant’s death, or
(ii) the Participant dies within the period (if any) specified in the Equity Award Agreement after
the termination of the Participant’s 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 Participant’s estate or 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 Participant’s death, but only within the period ending on
the earlier of (i) the date 12 months following the date of death (or such longer or shorter period
specified in the Equity Award Agreement, which period will not be less than six months if
necessary to comply with applicable laws), or (ii) the expiration of the term of such Option or
SAR as set forth in the Equity Award Agreement.  If, after the Participant’s death, the Option or
SAR is not exercised within the time specified herein or in the Equity Award Agreement (as
applicable), the Option or SAR will terminate.
(k)Termination for Cause.  Except as explicitly provided otherwise in a
Participant’s Equity Award Agreement, if a Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated for
Cause, the Option or SAR will terminate upon the termination date of such Participant’s
Continuous Service, and the Participant will be prohibited from exercising his or her Option or
SAR from and after the time of such termination of Continuous Service.
(l)Non-Exempt Employees.  No Option or SAR granted to an Employee who is a
non-exempt employee for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, will be
12
first exercisable for any shares of Common Stock until at least six 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 Participant’s 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 in which the vesting of such Options or SARs
accelerates, or (iv) upon the Participant’s retirement (as such term is defined for purposes of the
Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938), the vested portion of any Options and SARs may be
exercised earlier than six 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.
(m)Early Exercise of Options.  An Option may, but need not, include a provision
whereby the Optionholder may elect at any time before the Optionholder’s 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.  Subject to the “Repurchase Limitation” in
Section 8(l), any unvested shares of Common Stock so purchased may be subject to a repurchase
right in favor of the Company or to any other restriction the Board determines to be appropriate. 
Provided that the “Repurchase Limitation” in Section 8(l) is not violated, the Company will not
be required to exercise its repurchase right until at least six 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.
(n)Right of Repurchase.  Subject to the “Repurchase Limitation” in Section 8(l), an
Option or SAR may include a provision whereby the Company may elect to repurchase all or any
part of the vested shares of Common Stock acquired by the Participant pursuant to the exercise
of the Option or SAR.
(o)Right of First Refusal.  An Option or SAR may include a provision whereby the
Company may elect to exercise a right of first refusal following receipt of notice from the
Participant of the intent to transfer all or any part of the shares of Common Stock received upon
the exercise of the Option or SAR.  Such right of first refusal will be subject to the “Repurchase
Limitation” in Section 8(l).  Except as expressly provided in this Section 5(o) or in the Equity
Award Agreement, such right of first refusal will otherwise comply with any applicable
provisions of the bylaws of the Company.
6.PROVISIONS OF EQUITY AWARDS OTHER THAN OPTIONS AND SARS.
(a)Restricted Stock Awards.  Each Restricted Stock Award Agreement will be in
such form and will contain such terms and conditions as the Board will deem appropriate.  To the
extent consistent with the Company’s bylaws, at the Board’s election, shares of Common Stock
may be (A) held in book entry form subject to the Company’s instructions until any restrictions
relating to the Restricted Stock Award lapse, or (B) evidenced by a certificate, which certificate
will 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
13
each Restricted Stock Award Agreement will 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 or cash equivalents, (B) past or future services actually or to be
rendered to the Company or an Affiliate, or (C) any other form of legal consideration that may be
acceptable to the Board in its sole discretion and permissible under applicable law.
(ii)Vesting.  Subject to the “Repurchase Limitation” in Section 8(l), 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 Participant’s Continuous Service.  If a Participant’s
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.
(iv)Transferability.  Rights to acquire shares of Common Stock under the
Restricted Stock Award Agreement will be transferable by the Participant only upon such terms
and conditions as are set forth in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement, as the Board will
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
will be in such form and will contain such terms and conditions as the Board deems 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 will 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.
14
(ii)Vesting.  At the time of the grant of a Restricted Stock Unit Award, the
Board may impose such restrictions 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.
(vi)Termination of Participant’s 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 Participant’s
termination of Continuous Service.
(vii)Compliance with Section 409A of the Code.  Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth herein, any Restricted Stock Unit Award granted under the Plan that is
not exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code will contain such provisions so
that such Restricted Stock Unit Award will comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the
Code.  Such restrictions, if any, will be determined by the Board and contained in the Restricted
Stock Unit Award Agreement evidencing such Restricted Stock Unit Award.  For example, such
restrictions may include, without limitation, a requirement that any Common Stock that is to be
issued in a year following the year in which the Restricted Stock Unit Award vests must be
issued in accordance with a fixed pre-determined schedule.
(c)Other Equity Awards. Other forms of Equity 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 Equity Awards provided for under Section 5 and the preceding provisions of this
Section 6. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board will have sole and complete authority
to determine the persons to whom and the time or times at which such Other Equity Awards will
be granted, the number of shares of Common Stock (or the cash equivalent thereof) to be granted
15
pursuant to such Other Equity Awards and all other terms and conditions of such Other Equity
Awards.
7.COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
(a)Availability of Shares.  During the terms of the Equity Awards, the Company
will keep available at all times the number of shares of Common Stock reasonably required to
satisfy such Equity Awards.
(b)Securities Law Compliance.  The Company will seek to obtain from each
regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be
required to grant Equity Awards and to issue and sell shares of Common Stock upon exercise of
the Equity Awards; provided, however, that this undertaking will not require the Company to
register under the Securities Act the Plan, any Equity Award or any Common Stock issued or
issuable pursuant to any such Equity 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 the Plan, the
Company will be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell Common Stock upon
exercise of such Equity Awards unless and until such authority is obtained.  A Participant will
not be eligible for the grant of an Equity Award or the subsequent issuance of Common Stock
pursuant to the Equity Award if such grant or issuance would be in violation of any applicable
securities law.
(c)No Obligation to Notify or Minimize Taxes.  The Company will have no duty
or obligation to any Participant to advise such holder as to the time or manner of exercising such
Equity Award.  Furthermore, the Company will have no duty or obligation to warn or otherwise
advise such holder of a pending termination or expiration of an Equity Award or a possible
period in which the Equity Award may not be exercised.  The Company has no duty or
obligation to minimize the tax consequences of an Equity Award to the holder of such Equity
Award.
8.MISCELLANEOUS.
(a)Use of Proceeds from Sales of Common Stock.  Proceeds from the sale of
shares of Common Stock pursuant to Equity Awards will constitute general funds of the
Company.
(b)Corporate Action Constituting Grant of Equity Awards.  Corporate action
constituting a grant by the Company of an Equity Award to any Participant will 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 Equity Award is
communicated to, or actually received or accepted by, the Participant.  In the event that the
corporate records (e.g., Board consents, resolutions or minutes) documenting the corporate action
constituting the grant contain terms (e.g., exercise price, vesting schedule or number of shares)
that are inconsistent with those in the Equity Award Agreement as a result of a clerical error in
the papering of the Equity Award Agreement, the corporate records will control and the
16
Participant will have no legally binding right to the incorrect term in the Equity Award
Agreement.
(c)Stockholder Rights.  No Participant will 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
Equity Award unless and until (i) such Participant has satisfied all requirements for the exercise
of the Equity Award, or the issuance of shares thereunder, pursuant to its terms, and (ii) the
issuance of the Common Stock pursuant to the Equity Award has been entered into the books
and records of the Company.
(d)No Employment or Other Service Rights.  Nothing in the Plan, any Equity
Award Agreement or any other instrument executed thereunder or in connection with any Equity
Award granted pursuant thereto will confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve
the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Equity Award was granted or
will 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 Consultant’s 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)Change in Time Commitment. In the event a Participant’s regular level of time
commitment in the performance of his or her services for the Company and any Affiliates is
reduced (for example, and without limitation, if the Participant is an Employee of the Company
and the Employee has a change in status from a full-time Employee to a part-time Employee)
after the date of grant of any Equity Award to the Participant, the Board has the right in its sole
discretion to (i) make a corresponding reduction in the number of shares subject to any portion of
such Equity Award that is scheduled to vest or become payable after the date of such change in
time commitment, and (ii) in lieu of or in combination with such a reduction, extend the vesting
or payment schedule applicable to such Equity Award. In the event of any such reduction, the
Participant will have no right with respect to any portion of the Equity Award that is so reduced
or extended.
(f)Incentive Stock Option $100,000 Limitation.  To the extent that the aggregate
Fair Market Value (determined at the time of grant) of Class A Common Stock, Class B
Common Stock or Class C 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 $100,000, the Options or portions thereof that exceed such
limit (according to the order in which they were granted) will be treated as Nonstatutory Stock
Options, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the applicable Option Agreement.
(g)Investment Assurances.  The Company may require a Participant, as a condition
of exercising or acquiring Common Stock under any Equity Award, (i) to give written assurances
satisfactory to the Company as to the Participant’s 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
17
she is capable of evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser representative, the merits and
risks of exercising the Equity Award, and (ii) to give written assurances satisfactory to the
Company stating that the Participant is acquiring Common Stock subject to the Equity Award for
the Participant’s 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, will be inoperative if (x) the issuance of the shares upon the exercise or
acquisition of Common Stock under the Equity Award has been registered under a then currently
effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or (y) 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 the Plan as such
counsel deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with applicable securities laws,
including, but not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the Common Stock.
(h)Withholding Obligations.  Unless prohibited by the terms of an Equity Award
Agreement, the Company may, in its sole discretion, satisfy any federal, state or local tax
withholding obligation relating to an Equity 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:  (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 Equity 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 lesser amount as may be necessary to avoid classification
of the Equity Award as a liability for financial accounting purposes); (iii) withholding payment
from any amounts otherwise payable to the Participant; (iv) withholding cash from an Equity
Award settled in cash; or (v) by such other method as may be set forth in the Equity Award
Agreement.
(i)Electronic Delivery.  Any reference herein to a “written” agreement or document
will include any agreement or document delivered electronically or posted on the Company’s
intranet (or other shared electronic medium controlled by the Company to which the Participant
has access).
(j)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 Equity 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 Equity Awards and determine when, and in what annual percentages, Participants
may receive payments, including lump sum payments, following the Participant’s termination of
Continuous Service, and implement such other terms and conditions consistent with the
provisions of the Plan and in accordance with applicable law.
18
(k)Compliance with Section 409A.  To the extent that the Board determines that
any Equity Award granted hereunder is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Equity Award
Agreement evidencing such Equity Award will incorporate the terms and conditions necessary to
avoid the consequences specified in Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code.  To the extent applicable,
the Plan and Equity Award Agreements will be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of
the Code.
(l)Repurchase Limitation.  The terms of any repurchase right will be specified in
the Equity Award Agreement.  The repurchase price for vested shares of Common Stock will be
the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of repurchase.  The repurchase
price for unvested shares of Common Stock will be the lower of (i) the Fair Market Value of the
shares of Common Stock on the date of repurchase or (ii) their original purchase price. 
However, the Company will not exercise its repurchase right until at least six months (or such
longer or shorter period of time necessary to avoid classification of the Equity Award as a
liability for financial accounting purposes) have elapsed following delivery of shares of Common
Stock subject to the Equity Award, unless otherwise specifically provided by the Board.
9.ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN COMMON STOCK; OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS.
(a)Capitalization Adjustments.  In the event of a Capitalization Adjustment, the
Board will appropriately and proportionately adjust:  (i) the class(es) and maximum number of
securities subject to the Plan pursuant to Section 3(a); (ii) 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); and (iii) the class(es) and number of securities and price per share of stock subject
to outstanding Equity Awards.  The Board will make such adjustments, and its determination
will be final, binding and conclusive.
(b)Dissolution or Liquidation.  Except as otherwise provided in the Equity Award
Agreement, in the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all outstanding Equity
Awards (other than Equity Awards consisting of vested and outstanding shares of Common
Stock not subject to a forfeiture condition or the Company’s right of repurchase) will terminate
immediately prior to the completion of such dissolution or liquidation, and the shares of
Common Stock subject to the Company’s repurchase rights or subject to a forfeiture condition
may be repurchased or reacquired by the Company notwithstanding the fact that the holder of
such Equity Award is providing Continuous Service; provided, however, that the Board may, in
its sole discretion, cause some or all Equity Awards to become fully vested, exercisable and/or
no longer subject to repurchase or forfeiture (to the extent such Equity 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 will apply to Equity Awards
in the event of a Corporate Transaction unless otherwise provided in the instrument evidencing
the Equity Award or any other written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the
holder of the Equity Award or unless otherwise expressly provided by the Board at the time of
grant of an Equity Award.  Except as otherwise stated in the Equity Award Agreement, in the
event of a Corporate Transaction, then, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the
19
Board may take one or more of the following actions with respect to Equity Awards, contingent
upon the closing or completion of the Corporate Transaction:
(i)arrange for the surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or the
surviving or acquiring corporation’s parent company) to assume or continue all or any portion of
the Equity Award or to substitute a similar stock award for all or any portion of the Equity
Award (including, but not limited to, an award to acquire the same consideration paid to the
stockholders of the Company pursuant to the Corporate Transaction);
(ii)arrange for the assignment of any reacquisition or repurchase rights held
by the Company in respect of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Equity Award to the
surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or the surviving or acquiring corporation’s parent
company);
(iii)accelerate the vesting, in whole or in part, of the Equity Award (and, if
applicable, the time at which the Equity Award may be exercised), with such Equity Award
terminating if not exercised (if applicable) at or prior to the effective time of the Corporate
Transaction; provided, however, that the Board may require Participants to complete and deliver
to the Company a notice of exercise before the effective date of a Corporate Transaction, which
exercise is contingent upon the effectiveness of such Corporate Transaction;
(iv)arrange for the lapse of any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the
Company with respect to the Equity Award;
(v)cancel or arrange for the cancellation of all or any portion of the Equity
Award, to the extent not vested or not exercised prior to the effective time of the Corporate
Transaction, without the payment of any consideration; and
(vi)make a payment, in such form as may be determined by the Board equal to
the excess, if any, of (A) the value of the property the holder of the Equity Award would have
received upon the exercise of the Equity Award, over (B) any exercise price payable by such
holder in connection with such exercise.  For clarity, this payment may be zero ($0) if the value
of the property is equal to or less than the exercise price.  Payments under this provision may be
delayed to the same extent that payment of consideration to the holders of the Company’s
Common Stock in connection with the Corporate Transaction is delayed as a result of escrows,
earn outs, holdbacks or any other contingencies.
The Board need not take the same action with respect to all Equity Awards or with respect to all
Participants.  The Board may take different actions with respect to the vested and unvested
portions of an Equity Award.
(d)Change in Control.  An Equity Award may be subject to additional acceleration
of vesting and exercisability upon or after a Change in Control as may be provided in the Equity
Award Agreement for such Equity 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 will occur.
20
10.TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE PLAN.
(a)Plan Term.  The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time.  Unless
sooner terminated by the Board pursuant to Section 2, the Plan will automatically terminate on
the day before the tenth anniversary of the earlier of (i) the date the Plan is adopted by the Board,
or (ii) the date the Plan is approved by the stockholders of the Company.  No Equity Awards may
be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.
(b)No Impairment of Rights.  Suspension or termination of the Plan will not impair
rights and obligations under any Equity Award granted while the Plan is in effect except with the
written consent of the affected Participant.
11.EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN.
This Plan will become effective on the Original Effective Date.
12.CHOICE OF LAW.
The law of the State of Delaware will govern all questions concerning the construction,
validity and interpretation of this Plan, without regard to that state’s conflict of laws rules.
13.DEFINITIONS.  As used in the Plan, the following definitions will apply to the
capitalized terms indicated below:
(a)Affiliate” means, at the time of determination, any “parent” or “majority-owned
subsidiary” of the Company, as such terms are defined in Rule 405.  The Board will have the
authority to determine the time or times at which “parent” or “majority-owned subsidiary” status
is determined within the foregoing definition.
(b)Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company.
(c)Capitalization Adjustment” means any change that is made in, or other events
that occur with respect to, the Common Stock subject to the Plan or subject to any Equity Award
after the Original Effective Date without the receipt of consideration by the Company (through
merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend
in property other than cash, large nonrecurring cash dividend, stock split, reverse 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 Financial Accounting
Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the conversion of any convertible securities of the Company will not be treated as a
Capitalization Adjustment.
(d)Cause” will have the meaning ascribed to such term in any written agreement
between the Participant and the Company defining such term and, in the absence of such
agreement, such term means with respect to a Participant, the occurrence of any of the following
events:  (i) such Participant’s commission of any felony or any crime involving fraud, dishonesty
or moral turpitude under the laws of the United States or any state thereof; (ii) such Participant’s
21
attempted commission of, or participation in, a fraud or act of dishonesty against the Company;
(iii) such Participant’s intentional, material violation of any contract or agreement between the
Participant and the Company or of any statutory duty owed to the Company; (iv) such
Participant’s unauthorized use or disclosure of the Company’s confidential information or trade
secrets; or (v) such Participant’s gross misconduct.  The determination that a termination of the
Participant’s Continuous Service is either for Cause or without Cause will be made by the
Company in its sole discretion.  Any determination by the Company that the Continuous Service
of a Participant was terminated with or without Cause for the purposes of outstanding Equity
Awards held by such Participant will have no effect upon any determination of the rights or
obligations of the Company or such Participant for any other purpose.
(e)Certificate of Incorporation” means the Company’s Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, as filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on
January 20, 2015, and as may be amended thereafter from time to time.
(f)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 50% of the combined voting power of the
Company’s then outstanding securities other than by virtue of a merger, consolidation or similar
transaction.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control will not be deemed to occur (A)
on account of the acquisition of securities of the Company directly from the Company, (B) 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 Company’s securities in a transaction or series
of related transactions the primary purpose of which is to obtain financing for the Company
through the issuance of equity securities or (C) 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 sentence) 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 will 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 50% of the combined outstanding voting power of the surviving Entity in such
merger, consolidation or similar transaction or (B) more than 50% of the combined outstanding
voting power of the parent of the surviving Entity in such merger, consolidation or similar
22
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)the stockholders of the Company approve or the Board approves a plan of
complete dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or a complete dissolution or liquidation of
the Company will otherwise occur, except for a liquidation into a parent corporation;
(iv)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 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
(v)individuals who, on the date the Plan is adopted by the Board, 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 will, 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 will 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 will supersede the foregoing definition with respect
to Equity 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 will apply.

Affiliate, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, such Participant’s Continuous Service
will be considered to have terminated on the date such Entity ceases to qualify as an Affiliate.

or to a Director will 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 party’s sole

agreement or policy applicable to the Participant, or as otherwise required by law.

SPACE EXPLORATION TECHNOLOGIES CORP.
2015 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
OPTION AGREEMENT
(INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION OR NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION)
Pursuant and subject to your Stock Option Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) and this Option
Agreement, Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (the “Company”) has granted you an option
under its 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to purchase the number of shares of the
Company’s Class C Common Stock indicated in your Grant Notice at the exercise price
indicated in your Grant Notice. The option is granted to you effective as of the date of grant set
forth in the Grant Notice (the “Date of Grant”). If there is any conflict between the terms in this
Option Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control. Capitalized terms not
explicitly defined in this Option Agreement or in the Grant Notice but defined in the Plan will
have the same definitions as in the Plan.
The details of your option, in addition to those set forth in the Grant Notice and the Plan,
are as follows:
1.VESTING. Your option will vest as provided in your Grant Notice. Vesting will
cease upon the termination of your Continuous Service.
2.NUMBER OF SHARES AND EXERCISE PRICE. The number of shares of
Class C Common Stock subject to your option and your exercise price per share in your Grant
Notice will be adjusted for Capitalization Adjustments.
3.EXERCISE RESTRICTION FOR NON-EXEMPT EMPLOYEES. If you
are an Employee eligible for overtime compensation under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938,
as amended (that is, a Non-Exempt Employee”), and except as otherwise provided in the Plan,
you may not exercise your option until you have completed at least six (6) months of Continuous
Service measured from the Date of Grant, even if you have already been an employee for more
than six (6) months. Consistent with the provisions of the Worker Economic Opportunity Act,
you may exercise your option as to any vested portion prior to such six (6) month anniversary in
the case of (i) your death or disability; (ii) a Corporate Transaction in which your option is not
assumed, continued or substituted; (iii) a Change in Control; or (iv) your termination of
Continuous Service on your “retirement” (as defined in the Company’s benefit plans).
4.EXERCISE PRIOR TO VESTING (“EARLY EXERCISE”). This option
may not be exercised prior to vesting.
5.METHOD OF PAYMENT. You must pay the full amount of the exercise
price for the shares you wish to exercise. You may pay the exercise price in cash or by check,
2
bank draft or money order payable to the Company or in any other manner permitted by your
Grant Notice, which may include one or more of the following:
(a)Provided that at the time of exercise the Class C Common Stock is
publicly traded, pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the
Federal Reserve Board that, prior to the issuance of Class C Common Stock, 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. This manner of payment is
also known as a “broker-assisted exercise,” “same day sale,” or “sell to cover.”
(b)Provided that at the time of exercise the Class C Common Stock is
publicly traded, by delivery to the Company (either by actual delivery or attestation) of already-
owned shares of Class C Common Stock that are owned free and clear of any liens, claims,
encumbrances or security interests, and that are valued at Fair Market Value on the date of
exercise. “Delivery” for these purposes, in the sole discretion of the Company at the time you
exercise your option, will include delivery to the Company of your attestation of ownership of
such shares of Class C Common Stock in a form approved by the Company. You may not
exercise your option by delivery to the Company of Class C Common Stock if doing so would
violate the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption of the
Company’s stock.
6.WHOLE SHARES. You may exercise your option only for whole shares of
Class C Common Stock.
7.SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. In no event may you exercise your option
unless the shares of Class C Common Stock issuable upon exercise are then registered under the
Securities Act or, if not registered, the Company has determined that your exercise and the
issuance of the shares would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
The exercise of your option also must comply with all other applicable laws and regulations
governing your option, and you may not exercise your option if the Company determines that
such exercise would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.
8.TERM. You may not exercise your option before the Date of Grant or after the
expiration of the option’s term. The term of your option expires, subject to the provisions of
Section 5(h) of the Plan, upon the earliest of the following:
(a)immediately upon the termination of your Continuous Service for Cause;
(b)sixty (60) days after the termination of your Continuous Service for any
reason other than Cause, your Disability or your death (except as otherwise provided in Section
8(d)); provided, however, that if during any part of such sixty (60) day period your option is not
exercisable solely because of the condition set forth in the section above relating to “Securities
Law Compliance,” your option will not expire until the earlier of the Expiration Date or until it
has been exercisable for an aggregate period of sixty (60) days after the termination of your
Continuous Service; provided further, that if (i) you are a Non-Exempt Employee, (ii) your
Continuous Service terminates within six (6) months after the Date of Grant, and (iii) you have
3
vested in a portion of your option at the time of your termination of Continuous Service, your
option will not expire until the earlier of (x) the later of (A) the date that is seven (7) months after
the Date of Grant, and (B) the date that is sixty (60) days after the termination of your
Continuous Service, and (y) the Expiration Date;
(c)twelve (12) months after the termination of your Continuous Service due
to your Disability (except as otherwise provided in Section 8(d));
(d)twelve (12) months after your death if you die either during your
Continuous Service or within sixty (60) days after your Continuous Service terminates for any
reason other than Cause;
(e)the Expiration Date indicated in your Grant Notice; or
(f)the day before the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Date of Grant.
If your option is an Incentive Stock Option, note that to obtain the federal income tax
advantages associated with an Incentive Stock Option, the Code requires that at all times
beginning on the Date of Grant and ending on the day three (3) months before the date of your
option’s exercise, you must be an employee of the Company or an Affiliate, except in the event
of your death or Disability. The Company has provided for extended exercisability of your
option under certain circumstances for your benefit but cannot guarantee that your option will be
treated as an Incentive Stock Option if you continue to provide services to the Company or an
Affiliate as a Consultant or Director after your employment terminates or if you otherwise
exercise your option more than three (3) months after the date your employment with the
Company or an Affiliate terminates.
9.EXERCISE.
(a)You may exercise the vested portion of your option during its term by (i)
delivering a Notice of Exercise (in a form designated by the Company) and delivering any other
documents and completing any procedures required by the Company for exercise (including
executing a voting proxy in the form provided by the Company), and (ii) paying the exercise
price and any applicable withholding taxes to the Company’s Secretary, stock plan administrator,
or such other person as the Company may designate.
(b)By exercising your option you agree that, as a condition to any exercise of
your option, the Company may require you to enter into an arrangement providing for the
payment by you to the Company of any tax withholding obligation of the Company arising by
reason of (i) the exercise of your option, (ii) the lapse of any substantial risk of forfeiture to
which the shares of Class C Common Stock are subject at the time of exercise, or (iii) the
disposition of shares of Class C Common Stock acquired upon such exercise.
(c)If your option is an Incentive Stock Option, by exercising your option you
agree that you will notify the Company in writing within fifteen (15) days after the date of any
disposition of any of the shares of the Class C Common Stock issued upon exercise of your
4
option that occurs within two (2) years after the Date of Grant or within one (1) year after such
shares of Class C Common Stock are transferred upon exercise of your option.
(d)By exercising your option you agree that you will not sell, dispose of,
transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging
or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale with respect to any shares of Class
C Common Stock or other securities of the Company held by you, for a period of one hundred
eighty (180) days following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed
under the Securities Act or such longer period as the underwriters or the Company will request to
facilitate compliance with FINRA Rule 2711 or NYSE Member Rule 472 or any successor or
similar rules or regulation (the “Lock-Up Period”); provided, however, that nothing contained in
this section will prevent the exercise of a repurchase option, if any, in favor of the Company
during the Lock-Up Period. You further agree to execute and deliver such other agreements as
may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriters that are consistent with the
foregoing or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. To enforce the foregoing covenant,
the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to your shares of Class C
Common Stock until the end of such period. You also agree that any transferee of any shares of
Class C Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by you will be bound by this
Section 9(d). The underwriters of the Company’s stock are intended third party beneficiaries of
this Section 9(d) and will have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as
though they were a party hereto.
10.TRANSFERABILITY. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10, your
option is not transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and is
exercisable during your life only by you.
(a)Certain Trusts. Upon receiving written permission from the Board or its
duly authorized designee, you may transfer your option to a trust if you are considered to be the
sole beneficial owner (determined under Section 671 of the Code and applicable state law) while
the option is held in the trust. You and the trustee must enter into transfer and other agreements
required by the Company.
(b)Domestic Relations Orders. Upon receiving written permission from the
Board or its duly authorized designee, and provided that you and the designated transferee enter
into transfer and other agreements required by the Company, you may transfer your option
pursuant to the terms of a domestic relations order, official marital settlement agreement or other
divorce or separation instrument as permitted by Treasury Regulations Section 1.421-1(b)(2) that
contains the information required by the Company to effectuate the transfer. You are encouraged
to discuss the proposed terms of any division of this option with the Company prior to finalizing
the domestic relations order or marital settlement agreement to help ensure the required
information is contained within the domestic relations order or marital settlement agreement. If
this option is an Incentive Stock Option, this option may be deemed to be a Nonstatutory Stock
Option as a result of such transfer.
(c)Beneficiary Designation. Upon receiving written permission from the
Board or its duly authorized designee, you may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in
5
a form approved by the Company and any broker designated by the Company to handle option
exercises, designate a third party who, on your death, will thereafter be entitled to exercise this
option and receive the Class C Common Stock or other consideration resulting from such
exercise. In the absence of such a designation, your executor or administrator of your estate will
be entitled to exercise this option and receive, on behalf of your estate, the Class C Common
Stock or other consideration resulting from such exercise.
11.LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFER OF SHARES. In addition to any other
limitation on transfer created by applicable securities laws, you will not assign, encumber or
dispose of any interest in the shares of Class C Common Stock that you acquire upon exercise of
your option, or any other shares of Company common stock now or hereafter held by you,
including stock obtained pursuant to the Plan, the 2012 Plan or the 2002 Plan (for purposes of
this Section 11, the “Shares”) except in compliance with this Section 11 and applicable
securities laws.
(a)Restrictions on Certain Transfers of Securities. In addition to any other
restrictions on transfer imposed by applicable securities laws, you will not sell, assign, pledge, or
in any manner transfer, dispose of or encumber any Shares whether voluntarily or by operation
of law, or by gift or otherwise (any such sale, assignment, pledge, transfer, disposition or
encumbrance, a “Transfer) without the prior written consent of the Company, upon duly
authorized action of the Board. In the event such consent is given, the transferee, assignee, or
other recipient will receive and hold the Shares subject to the provisions of this Option
Agreement, and there will be no further Transfer of such Shares except in accordance with this
Option Agreement. Without in any way limiting the basis on which the Company elects not to
consent to a Transfer, you acknowledge that the Company does not at any time intend to consent
to any requested Transfer of Shares (i) to individuals, companies or any other form of entity
identified by the Company as a potential competitor or considered by the Company to be
unfriendly, or to non-U.S. individuals, companies or other entities; (ii) if such Transfer would
result in the loss of any federal or state securities law exemption relied upon by the Company in
connection with the initial issuance of such Shares or the issuance of any other securities; (iii) if
such Transfer is facilitated in any manner by any public posting, message board, trading portal,
internet site, or similar method of communication, including without limitation any trading portal
or internet site intended to facilitate secondary transfers of securities; (iv) if such Transfer is to
be effected in a brokered transaction; or (v) if such Transfer represents a Transfer of less than all
of the Shares then held by you and your affiliates or is to be made to more than a single
transferee.
(b)Exceptions for Certain Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Option Agreement, the restrictions on transfer in this Section 11 will not apply
to:
(i)any Transfer of Shares held either during your lifetime or on death
by will or intestacy to a bona fide trust for the benefit of you and/or your Immediate Family
(“Immediate Family,” as used herein, will mean your spouse, lineal descendant, father, mother,
6
brother, or sister), provided that only Transfers of Shares by you to one transferee under this
Section 11(b)(i) will be exempt from the restrictions on transfer in this Section 11;
(ii)any Transfer to the Company or to a person who, at the time of
such Transfer is an officer or director of the Company; or
(iii)any Committee-Approved Transfer (as defined in the Company’s
bylaws).
In any such case, the transferee, assignee or other recipient will receive and hold such Shares
subject to the provisions of this Option Agreement, and there will be no further Transfer of such
Shares except in accordance with this Option Agreement.
(c)Right of First Refusal. If you are permitted to make a Transfer pursuant
to Sections 11(a) and 11(b), the Transfer will be subject to the Company’s right of first refusal as
set forth in this Section. In addition, the right of first refusal will apply to any shares of
Company common stock obtained pursuant to any Company stock or equity incentive plan and
any shares of common stock currently held or hereafter held by you, or any right or interest
therein, including securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of
Company common stock (along with the Shares, collectively, the “Securities”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 11(c) shall not apply to Transfers pursuant to Section
11(b)(i) or any Committee-Approved Transfer (as defined in the Company’s bylaws) to your
Immediate Family for no consideration.
(i)Notice of Proposed Transfer. If you desire to Transfer any
Securities, then you must first give written notice thereof to the Company. The notice will name
the proposed transferee and state the number of Securities to be transferred, the proposed
consideration, and all other terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer. You must also
provide a fully-executed, legally binding agreement to Transfer any of your Securities, executed
by you and the proposed transferee.
(ii)Exercise of Right of First Refusal. For thirty (30) days following
receipt of such notice, the Company and/or its assignee(s) will have the option to purchase any or
all of the Securities specified in the notice at the price (less any expenses, including proposed
commissions and fees, that you would have been required to pay) and upon the terms set forth in
such notice. If the price set forth in such notice includes consideration other than cash, the cash
equivalent value of the non-cash consideration will be determined by the Board in good faith. In
the event the Company and/or its assignee(s) elects to purchase any or all of the Securities, it will
give written notice to you of its election (the “Company Notice”) and settlement for said
Securities, as provided in Section 11(c)(iv) below.
(iii)Assignment. The Company may assign its rights under this
Section 11(c)
(iv)Payment. In the event the Company and/or its assignee(s) elect to
acquire any of your Securities as specified in the notice, the Company’s Secretary (or other
7
designee) will so notify you within thirty (30) days. Settlement thereof will be made in cash (by
check), by cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness, or by any
combination thereof within sixty (60) days after the Company Notice or in the manner and at the
times set forth in the Company Notice.
(v)Right to Transfer. In the event (x) the Company and/or its
assignees(s) do not elect to acquire all of the Securities specified in your notice pursuant to this
Section 11(c) and (y) the Transfer complies with Sections 11(a) and 11(b) above (either because
the restrictions do not apply to the Transfer or because the applicable consent has been obtained),
you may, within the sixty (60) day period following the expiration or waiver of the option rights
granted to the Company and/or its assignees(s) herein, Transfer the Securities specified in your
notice that were not acquired by the Company and/or its assignees(s) as specified in your notice.
In the case of any Transfer, the transferee, assignee, or other recipient will receive and hold the
Securities subject to the provisions of this Option Agreement, and there will be no further
Transfer of such Securities except in accordance with this Agreement.
(vi)Termination of Rights. The foregoing right of first refusal will
terminate upon the date securities of the Company are first offered to the public pursuant to a
registration statement filed with, and declared effective by, the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act (the “Listing Date”).
(d)Any attempted Transfer in violation of this Section 11 will be void and of
no legal force and, at the Company’s discretion, will result in your forfeiture of your Shares. For
purposes of this Option Agreement, the term “Transfer” will include any sale, assignment,
encumbrance, hypothecation, pledge, conveyance in trust, gift, transfer by bequest, devise or
descent, or other transfer or disposition of any kind, including, but not limited to, transfers to
receivers, levying creditors, trustees or receivers in bankruptcy proceedings or general assignees
for the benefit of creditors, whether voluntary or by operation of law, directly or indirectly, of
any Shares.
(e)Legends. All certificates representing the Shares held by you, including
the Shares, will have endorsed thereon legends in substantially the following forms (in addition
to any other legends required by applicable state and federal corporation and securities law and
which may be required by any other agreements between the parties hereto):
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR THE SECURITIES
LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND
NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR
DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE
EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED
THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE
COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE.
8
ANY TRANSFER OR ATTEMPTED TRANSFER OF ANY SHARES REPRESENTED
BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS VOID WITHOUT THE PRIOR EXPRESS WRITTEN
CONSENT OF THE COMPANY. THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A REPURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE COMPANY AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER, OR SUCH HOLDER’S
PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN
THE COMPANY’S BYLAWS, COPIES OF WHICH ARE ON FILE AT THE
PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY.”
(f)Stop-Transfer Notices. You agree that, in order to ensure compliance
with the restrictions referred to in this Option Agreement, the Company may issue appropriate
“stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own
securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.
(g)Refusal to Transfer. The Company will not be required (i) to transfer on
its books any Shares that will have been transferred in violation of any of the provisions set forth
in this Option Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such shares or to afford the right to vote as
such owner or to pay dividends to any transferee to whom such shares will have been so
transferred.
(h)The provisions of this Section 11 will be in addition to any transfer
restrictions and right of first refusal in favor of the Company or its assignees that may be
contained in the Company’s bylaws or in any other agreement between you and the Company.
12.RIGHT OF REPURCHASE.
(a)Any share of Class C Common Stock that Participant acquires upon
exercise of the Option, or any shares of Company common stock otherwise obtained pursuant to
the Plan (the “2015 Plan Shares”) are subject to the right of repurchase described below. The
Company’s right of repurchase will expire on the Listing Date.
(b)The Company may elect (but is not obligated) to repurchase all or any part
of the 2015 Plan Shares (the Company’s “Repurchase Right”). If, from time to time, there is
any stock dividend, stock split or other change in the character or amount of any of the
outstanding Class C Common Stock that is subject to the provisions of your option, then in such
event any and all new, substituted or additional securities to which you are entitled by reason of
your ownership of the 2015 Plan Shares will be immediately subject to the Company’s
Repurchase Right with the same force and effect as the Shares subject to the Company’s
Repurchase Right immediately before such event.
(c)The Company’s Repurchase Right will be exercisable only within the six
(6) month period following the termination of Participant’s Continuous Service for any reason
(the “Repurchase Event”), or such longer period as may be necessary to avoid the classification
of the SAUs as a liability for financial accounting purposes, as determined by the Company.
9
(d)The Company will exercise its Repurchase Right only for cash or
cancellation of purchase money indebtedness for the shares of Class C Common Stock and will
give Participant written notice (by registered or certified mail) accompanied by payment for the
shares of Class C Common Stock (if required) within six (6) months after the Repurchase Event,
or within such longer period as may be necessary to avoid the classification of the shares as a
liability for financial accounting purposes, as determined by the Company.
(e)The repurchase price will be equal to the 2015 Plan Shares’ Fair Market
Value on the date notice of the intent to repurchase is provided, except in the case of termination
of Participant’s Continuous Service for Cause, in which case the 2015 Plan Shares will be
reacquired for no payment to Participant (i.e., the repurchase price is $0).
13.OPTION NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT. Your option is not an
employment or service contract, and nothing in your option will be deemed to create in any way
whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate,
or of the Company or an Affiliate to continue your employment. In addition, nothing in your
option will obligate the Company or an Affiliate, their respective stockholders, boards of
directors, officers or employees to continue any relationship that you might have as a Director or
Consultant for the Company or an Affiliate.
14.WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS.
(a)At the time you exercise your option, in whole or in part, and at any time
thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize withholding from payroll and any
other amounts payable to you, and otherwise agree to make adequate provision for (including by
means of a “same day sale” pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated
by the Federal Reserve Board to the extent permitted by the Company), any sums required to
satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company or an
Affiliate, if any, which arise in connection with the exercise of your option.
(b)If this option is a Nonstatutory Stock Option, then upon your request and
subject to approval by the Company, and compliance with any applicable legal conditions or
restrictions, the Company may withhold from fully vested shares of Class C Common Stock
otherwise issuable to you upon the exercise of your option a number of whole shares of Class C
Common Stock having a Fair Market Value, determined by the Company as of the date of
exercise, not in excess of the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law (or such
lower amount as may be necessary to avoid classification of your option as a liability for
financial accounting purposes). If the date of determination of any tax withholding obligation is
deferred to a date later than the date of exercise of your option, share withholding pursuant to the
preceding sentence will not be permitted unless you make a proper and timely election under
Section 83(b) of the Code, covering the aggregate number of shares of Class C Common Stock
acquired upon such exercise with respect to which such determination is otherwise deferred, to
accelerate the determination of such tax withholding obligation to the date of exercise of your
option. Notwithstanding the filing of such election, shares of Class C Common Stock will be
withheld solely from fully vested shares of Class C Common Stock determined as of the date of
exercise of your option that are otherwise issuable to you upon such exercise. Any adverse
10
consequences to you arising in connection with such share withholding procedure will be your
sole responsibility.
(c)You may not exercise your option unless the tax withholding obligations
of the Company and/or any Affiliate are satisfied. Accordingly, you may not be able to exercise
your option when desired even though your option is vested, and the Company will have no
obligation to issue a certificate for such shares of Class C Common Stock or release such shares
of Class C Common Stock from any escrow provided for herein, if applicable, unless such
obligations are satisfied.
15.TAX CONSEQUENCES. You hereby agree that the Company does not have a
duty to design or administer the Plan or its other compensation programs in a manner that
minimizes your tax liabilities. You will not make any claim against the Company, or any of its
Officers, Directors, Employees, or Affiliates related to tax liabilities arising from your option or
your other compensation. In particular, you acknowledge that this option is exempt from Section
409A of the Code only if the exercise price per share specified in the Grant Notice is at least
equal to the “fair market value” per share of the Class C Common Stock on the Date of Grant
and there is no other impermissible deferral of compensation associated with the option. Because
the Class C Common Stock is not traded on an established securities market, the Fair Market
Value is determined by the Board, perhaps in consultation with an independent valuation firm
retained by the Company. You acknowledge that there is no guarantee that the Internal Revenue
Service will agree with the valuation as determined by the Board, and you will not make any
claim against the Company, or any of its Officers, Directors, Employees or Affiliates in the event
that the Internal Revenue Service asserts that the valuation determined by the Board is less than
the “fair market value” as subsequently determined by the Internal Revenue Service.
16.NOTICES. Any notices provided for in your option or the Plan will be given in
writing (including electronically) and will be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the
case of notices delivered by mail by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the U.S.
mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last address you provided to the Company. The
Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to participation in
the Plan and this option by electronic means or to request your consent to participate in the Plan
by electronic means. By accepting this option, you consent to receive such documents by
electronic delivery and to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system
established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.
17.GOVERNING PLAN DOCUMENT. Your option is subject to all the provisions
of the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby made a part of your option, and is further subject
to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations, which may from time to time be
promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. If there is any conflict between the provisions of
your option and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will control.
