1. Grant of Performance Shares. The Company hereby awards to Participant, as of the Award Date indicated below, an award (the “Award”) of Performance Shares under the Plan. This Agreement provides the Participant with the right to receive one or more shares of Common Stock on the designated issuance date for those shares, based upon the extent to which each Performance Share vests pursuant to the terms hereof. The Target Shares subject to this Award, the applicable performance-vesting and Continuous Service vesting requirements for each separate Tranche of this Award, the date or dates on which the shares of Common Stock that vest hereunder shall become issuable and the remaining terms and conditions governing this Award, including the applicable vesting acceleration provisions, shall be as set forth in this Agreement.

AWARD SUMMARY


Participant:
Award Date:			March 10, 2022
Target Number of Performance Shares:			The actual number of shares of Common Stock that may become issuable pursuant to the Performance Shares subject to this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the performance-vesting and Continuous Service vesting provisions of attached Schedule I. For purposes of the applicable calculations under Schedule I, the target number of Performance Shares to be utilized is shares (the “Target Shares”).


			The Performance Shares shall be divided into three separate Tranches with one third (1/3) of the Target Shares allocated to each such Tranche.

Vesting Schedule:			Vesting Requirements. Each Tranche of Performance Shares shall be subject to the performance-vesting and Continuous Service vesting requirements set forth for that particular Tranche in attached Schedule I and shall vest on the Certification Date (as defined in Appendix A). Change in Control Vesting. The shares of Common Stock underlying each Tranche of Performance Shares may also vest on an accelerated basis in accordance with the applicable provisions of Paragraph 4 of this Agreement should a Change in Control occur after the start but prior to the completion of the Performance Period applicable to that particular Tranche or the Certification Date.

Issuance Date:			The shares of Common Stock which actually vest and become issuable pursuant to each Tranche of Performance Shares shall be issued in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement applicable to the particular circumstances under which such vesting occurs.

2.Limited Transferability. Prior to the actual issuance of the shares of Common Stock which vest hereunder, Participant may not transfer any interest in the Performance Shares subject to this Award or the underlying shares of Common Stock or pledge or otherwise hedge the sale of those Performance Shares or underlying shares, including (without limitation) any short sale or any acquisition or disposition of any put or call option or other instrument tied to the value of the underlying shares of Common Stock. However, any shares of Common Stock which vest hereunder but otherwise remain unissued at the time of Participant’s death may be transferred to Participant’s designated beneficiary or, if none, to Participant's estate.

3.Stockholder Rights and Dividend Equivalents

(a)The holder of this Award shall not have any stockholder rights, including voting, dividend or liquidation rights, with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award until Participant becomes the record holder of those shares upon their actual issuance following the Company’s collection of the applicable Withholding Taxes.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent that this Award is outstanding on the record date for any dividend or other distribution, whether regular or extraordinary and whether payable in cash, securities (other than Common Stock) or other property, and one or more shares of Common Stock subject to this Award on such record date have not otherwise vested and been delivered as of the payment date for such dividend or distribution and do not otherwise receive such dividend or distribution (i.e., those shares of Common Stock are not otherwise treated as issued and outstanding for purposes of entitlement to

the dividend or distribution pursuant to state law, the terms of such distribution or otherwise), then a special book account shall be established for Participant and credited with a phantom dividend that is equivalent to the actual dividend or distribution which would have been paid on such shares of Common Stock at the time subject to this Award had they been issued and outstanding and entitled to that dividend or distribution. As such shares of Common Stock subsequently vest hereunder, the phantom dividend equivalents so credited to those shares of Common Stock in the book account shall vest, and those vested dividend equivalents shall be distributed to Participant (in the form of additional shares of Common Stock or in such other form as the Administrator deems appropriate under the circumstances) concurrently with the issuance of the vested shares of Common Stock to which those phantom dividend equivalents relate and correspondingly as such shares of Common Stock are forfeited or cancelled under this Award the phantom dividend equivalents so credited to those shares of Common Stock in the book account shall be forfeited or cancelled. Each such distribution of phantom dividend equivalent amounts shall be subject to the Company’s collection of any Withholding Taxes applicable to that distribution. The Administrator shall have the sole discretion to determine the dollar value of any dividend or distribution paid other than in the form of cash, and its determination shall be controlling. No dividend equivalent amount shall be paid or distributed on shares of Common Stock under this Award that are forfeited or that otherwise are not vested and issued or issuable under this Award.

4.Change in Control. The following provisions shall apply only to the extent a Change in Control is consummated prior to the Certification Date and shall have no force or effect if the effective date of the Change in Control occurs after the Certification Date:

(a)Should (i) the Change in Control occur during a Performance Period that is in effect at the time with respect to a particular Tranche of Performance Shares but prior to the completion of that Performance Period and (ii) Participant remains in Continuous Service through the effective date of that Change in Control, then Participant shall immediately vest in that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Target Shares allocated to that particular Tranche, without any measurement of Performance Goal attainment to date with respect to that particular Tranche and without regard to the Continuous Service vesting provisions. To the extent a Performance Period for a particular Tranche of Performance Shares has not commenced prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, the Performance Shares allocated to that Tranche in accordance with Paragraph 1 of this Agreement and the provisions of attached Schedule I shall be cancelled, and Participant shall not have any further right or entitlement to receive any shares of Common Stock with respect to those cancelled Performance Shares.

(b)Should (i) the Change in Control occur at any time on or after the completion of the Performance Period applicable to a particular Tranche of Performance Shares but prior to the Certification Date and (ii) Participant remains in Continuous Service through the effective date of that Change in Control, then Participant shall immediately vest in that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the actual number of Performance-Qualified Shares (if any) at the time subject to that Tranche by reason of the level at which the Revenue Performance Goal for that Tranche was in fact attained for the Performance Period applicable to that Tranche, without regard to the Continuous Service vesting provisions.

(c)The foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 4 shall also apply should Participant’s Continuous Service terminate, by reason of an involuntary termination (other than as a result of Retirement, death, or Permanent Disability) other than for Cause or his or her resignation due to Constructive Termination, at any time during the period beginning with the execution date of the definitive agreement for the Change in Control transaction and ending with the earlier of (i) the termination of the definitive agreement without the consummation of such Change in Control or (ii) the expiration of the Applicable Acceleration Period following the consummation of such Change in Control.

(d) Should Participant cease Continuous Service by reason of his or her Retirement at least twelve (12) months following the Award Date but prior to the Certification Date and during one or more Service Periods that are, pursuant to the provisions of attached Schedule I, in effect at that time with respect to one or more Tranches of Performance Shares and a Change in Control subsequently occurs prior to the Certification Date, then Participant shall, at the time of such Change in Control, immediately vest in that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Target Shares allocated to that particular Tranche, without any measurement of Performance Goal attainment to date with respect to that particular Tranche and without regard to the Continuous Service vesting provisions. To the extent a Performance Period for a particular Tranche of Performance Shares has not commenced prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, the Performance Shares allocated to that Tranche in accordance with Paragraph 1 of this Agreement and the provisions of attached Schedule I shall be cancelled, and Participant shall not have any further right or entitlement to receive any shares of Common Stock with respect to those cancelled Performance Shares.

(e) The number of shares of Common Stock in which Participant vests determined in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 4 shall be converted into the right to receive for each such share the same consideration per share of Common Stock payable to the other stockholders of the Company in consummation of the Change in Control, and such consideration shall be distributed to Participant on the earlier of (i) the tenth (10th) business day following the effective date of the Change in Control, provided such Change in Control also constitutes a Qualifying Change in Control, or (ii) the date those shares would have been issued to Participant in accordance with Paragraph 6 in the absence of such Change in Control. Each issuance or distribution made under this Paragraph 4(e) shall be subject to the Company’s collection of the applicable Withholding Taxes.

(f) Except for the actual number of shares of Common Stock in which Participant vests in accordance with this Paragraph 4, Participant shall cease to have any further right or entitlement to any additional shares of Common Stock under this Agreement following the effective date of the Change in Control.

(g) This Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the Company to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

5.Adjustment in Shares. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares, spin-off transaction, extraordinary dividend or distribution or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Company’s receipt of consideration, or should the value of the outstanding shares of Common Stock be substantially reduced as a result of a spin- off transaction or an extraordinary dividend or distribution, or should there occur any merger, consolidation or other reorganization, then equitable adjustments shall be made by the Administrator to the total number and/or class of securities issuable pursuant to this Award in order to reflect such change. The determination of the Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive. In the event of any Change in Control transaction, the provisions of Paragraph 4 shall also be applicable.

6.Issuance or Distribution of Vested Shares or Other Amounts.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 4 or Paragraph 7, the shares of Common Stock in which Participant vests pursuant to the performance-vesting and Continuous Service vesting provisions of attached Schedule I shall be issued in accordance with the following provisions:

- The issuance of the shares of Common Stock underlying each particular Tranche of Performance Shares shall be effected during the period beginning on the first (1st) business day of February of the calendar year immediately succeeding the end of the Tranche Three Performance Period and ending no later than March 15 of that calendar year.

(b) The Company shall, on the applicable issuance date, issue to or on behalf of Participant a certificate in electronic form for the shares of Common Stock in which Participant vests pursuant to the performance-vesting and Continuous Service vesting provisions of attached Schedule I and shall concurrently settle with Participant any phantom dividend equivalent amount with respect to those shares as provided in Paragraph 3.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 4, no shares of Common Stock shall be issued prior to the Certification Date. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to this Award, and any fractional share resulting from any calculation made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be rounded down to the next whole share.

(d) Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action the Employer may take with respect to any or all Withholding Taxes related to Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant, the ultimate liability for all Withholding Taxes is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Employer. Participant further acknowledges that the Employer (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Withholding Taxes in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant, vesting or settlement of the Award, the issuance of shares of Common Stock or other property in settlement of the Award, the subsequent sale of the shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to such issuance and the

receipt of any dividends and/or phantom dividend equivalent amount provided pursuant to Paragraph 3 and (ii) does not commit to, and is under no obligation to, structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Withholding Taxes or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant is or becomes subject to Withholding Taxes in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may withhold or account for Withholding Taxes in more than one jurisdiction.

(e) The Company shall collect, and Participant hereby authorizes the Company to collect, the Withholding Taxes with respect to the shares of Common Stock issued under this Agreement (including any shares of Common Stock issued in settlement of any phantom dividend equivalent amount as provided in Paragraph 3) through an automatic share withholding procedure pursuant to which the Company will withhold, immediately as the shares of Common Stock are issued under the Award, a portion of those shares with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the issuance date) equal to the amount of such Withholding Taxes (the “Share Withholding Method”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Share Withholding Method shall not be utilized if (i) such method is not permissible or advisable under local law or (ii) the Company otherwise decides no longer to utilize such method and provides Participant with notice to such effect.

(f) If the Share Withholding Method is to be utilized for the collection of Withholding Taxes, then the Company shall withhold the number of otherwise issuable shares of Common Stock necessary to satisfy the applicable Withholding Taxes based on the applicable minimum statutory rate or other applicable withholding rate, including maximum applicable rates, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. If the maximum rate is used, any over- withheld amount will be refunded to Participant in cash by the Employer (with no entitlement to the Common Stock equivalent) or if not refunded, Participant may seek a refund from the appropriate tax authorities. If the obligation for Withholding Taxes is satisfied by using the Share Withholding Method, then Participant will, for tax purposes, be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the vested Award, notwithstanding that a number of shares of Common Stock are withheld solely for the purpose of paying the applicable Withholding Taxes.

(g) The Company shall have sole discretion to determine whether or not the Share Withholding Method shall be utilized for the collection of the applicable Withholding Taxes. Participant shall be notified (in writing or through the Company’s electronic mail system) in the event the Company no longer intends to utilize the Share Withholding Method. Should any shares of Common Stock become issuable under the Award (including any shares of Common Stock issued in settlement of any phantom dividend equivalent amount as provided in Paragraph 3) at a time when the Share Withholding Method is not being utilized by the Company, then the Withholding Taxes shall be collected from Participant through a sale-to-cover transaction authorized by Participant, pursuant to which an immediate open-market sale of a portion of the shares of Common Stock issued to Participant will be effected, for and on behalf of Participant, by the Company’s designated broker to cover the Withholding Tax liability estimated by the Company to be applicable to such issuance. Participant shall, promptly upon request from the Company, execute (whether manually or through electronic acceptance) an

appropriate sales authorization (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company) that authorizes and directs the broker to effect such open-market, sale-to-cover transactions and remit the sale proceeds, net of brokerage fees and other applicable charges, to the Company in satisfaction of the applicable Withholding Taxes. However, no sale-to-cover transaction shall be effected unless (i) such a sale is at the time permissible under the Company’s xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policies governing the sale of Common Stock and (ii) the transaction is not otherwise deemed to constitute a prohibited loan under Section 402 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002.

(h) If the Company determines that such sale-to-cover transaction is not permissible or advisable at the time or if Participant otherwise fails to effect a timely sales authorization as required by this Agreement, then the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect either to defer the issuance of the shares of Common Stock until such sale-to-cover transaction can be effected in accordance with Participant’s executed sale directive or to collect the applicable Withholding Taxes through a wire transfer of funds from Participant to the Company in the amount of such Withholding Taxes or by withholding such amount from other wages payable to Participant. In no event shall any shares of Common Stock be issued in the absence of an arrangement reasonably satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of the applicable Withholding Taxes, and any such arrangement must be in compliance with any applicable requirements of Code Section 409A.

(i) The Company shall collect the Withholding Taxes with respect to any phantom dividend equivalent amount as provided in Paragraph 3 that is distributed in a form other than shares of Common Stock by withholding a portion of that distribution equal to the amount of the applicable Withholding Taxes, with the cash portion of the distribution to be the first portion so withheld, or through such other tax withholding arrangement as the Company deems appropriate, in its sole discretion.

(j) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Paragraphs 6(d) through 6(i), the employee portion of the federal, state and local employment taxes required to be withheld by the Company in connection with the vesting (as determined under applicable tax laws) of the shares of Common Stock or any other amounts hereunder (the “Employment Taxes”) shall in all events be collected from Participant no later than the last business day of the calendar year in which those shares or other amounts vest (as determined under applicable tax laws) hereunder. Accordingly, to the extent the applicable issuance date for one or more vested shares of Common Stock or the distribution date for such other amounts is to occur in a year subsequent to the calendar year in which those shares or other amounts vest, Participant shall, if so requested by the Company, on or before the last business day of the calendar year in which such shares or other amounts vest, deliver to the Company a check payable to its order (or a wire transfer of funds to the Company) in the dollar amount equal to the Employment Taxes required to be withheld with respect to those shares or other amounts. Alternatively, the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to withhold the dollar amount equal to the Employment Taxes required to be withheld with respect to those shares or other amounts from other wages payable to Participant, or through such other tax withholding arrangement as the Company deems appropriate, in its sole discretion. The provisions of this Paragraph 6(j) shall be applicable only to the extent necessary to comply with the applicable tax withholding requirements of Code Section 3121(v).

(k) Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 4 or this Paragraph 6, the settlement of all Performance Shares or Performance-Qualified Shares which vest under the Award shall be made solely in shares of Common Stock.

7.Special Deferral Election. Provided Participant is a U.S. tax resident and Participant timely submits a properly completed deferral election in a form provided by the Company, any shares of Common Stock that become issuable pursuant to this Agreement shall be distributed in accordance with the terms of such deferral election, subject to Participant’s satisfaction of any applicable Withholding Taxes under Paragraph 6.

8.Leaves of Absence. For purposes of applying the various Continuous Service vesting provisions of this Agreement, Participant shall be deemed to cease Continuous Service on the commencement date of any leave of absence and not to remain in Continuous Service status during the period of that leave, except to the extent otherwise required under employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or pursuant to the following policy:

- Participant shall be deemed to remain in Continuous Service status during (i) the first three (3) months of an approved personal leave of absence or (ii) the first seven (7) months of any bona fide leave of absence (other than an approved personal leave) and shall be deemed to cease Continuous Service upon the expiration of the applicable three (3)-month or seven (7)-month period.

- In no event, however, shall Participant be deemed, for vesting purposes hereunder, to remain in Continuous Service beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration date of that leave of absence, unless Participant returns to active Continuous Service or Employee status on or before that date, or (ii) the date Participant’s Continuous Service or Employee status actually terminates by reason of his or her voluntary or involuntary termination or by reason of his or her death or Permanent Disability.

9.Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Award shall be subject to compliance by the Company and Participant with all Applicable Laws relating thereto.

10.Nature of Grant. In accepting the grant, Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;

(b) the grant of the Award is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Awards, or benefits in lieu of Awards, even if Awards have been granted in the past;

(e) the Award and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award, and the income and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(g) the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(h) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Award resulting from the termination of Participant’s Continuous Service (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of Participant’s employment agreement, if any), and in consideration of the grant of the Award to which Participant is otherwise not entitled, Participant irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company, any Related Entity or the Employer, waives Participant’s ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and releases the Company, any Related Entity and the Employer from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agreed to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claim;

(i) unless otherwise agreed with the Company in writing, the Award and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, any service Participant may provide as a director of the Company or a Related Entity; and

(j) unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Award and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Award or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the shares of the Company.

11.No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan, or Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock.

All notices shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or delivery through the Company’s electronic mail system or upon deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.

13.Successors and Assigns. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns and Participant, the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of Participant’s estate

14.Code Section 409A

(a)It is the intention of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement shall, to the maximum extent permissible, comply with the requirements of the short-term deferral exception to Section 409A of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) with respect to each Tranche of Performance Shares under this Award. Accordingly, to the extent there is any ambiguity as to whether one or more provisions of this Agreement would otherwise contravene the requirements or limitations of Code Section 409A applicable to such short-term deferral exception, then those provisions, as they apply to each Tranche, shall be interpreted and applied in a manner that does not result in a violation of the requirements or limitations of Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations thereunder that apply to such exception.

(b)However, to the extent this Agreement should be deemed to create a deferred compensation arrangement subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A with respect to one or more Tranches of the Performance Shares, whether by reason of a deferral election that satisfies the requirements of Paragraph 7 above or the pro-rata Continuous Service vesting provisions of this Agreement, then the following provisions shall apply with respect to any such Tranche, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein:

–No shares of Common Stock or other amounts which become issuable or distributable with respect to such Tranche by reason of Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service shall actually be issued or distributed to Participant until the date of Participant’s Separation from Service or as soon thereafter as administratively practicable, but in no event later than the later of (i) the close of the calendar year in which such Separation from Service occurs or (ii) the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) calendar month following the date of such Separation from Service.

–No shares of Common Stock or other amounts which become issuable or distributable with respect to such Tranche by reason of Participant’s cessation of Continuous Service shall actually be issued or distributed to Participant prior to the earlier of (i) the first (1st) day of the seventh (7th) month following the date of Participant’s Separation from Service or (ii) the date of Participant’s death, if Participant is deemed at the time of such Separation from Service to be a specified employee under Section 1.409A-1(i) of the Treasury Regulations issued under Code Section 409A, as determined by the Administrator in accordance with consistent and uniform standards applied to all other Code Section 409A arrangements of the Company, and such delayed commencement is otherwise required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Code Section 409A(a)(2). The deferred shares of Common Stock or other distributable amount shall be issued or distributed in a lump sum on the first (1st) day of the seventh (7th) month following the date of Participant’s Separation from Service or, if earlier, the first (1st) day of the month immediately following the date the Company receives proof of Participant’s death.

–No amounts that vest and become payable under Paragraph 4 of this Agreement with respect to that Tranche by reason of a Change in Control shall be distributed to Participant at the time of such Change in Control, unless that transaction also constitutes a Qualifying Change in Control. In the absence of such a Qualifying Change in Control, the distribution shall not be made until the date on which the shares of Common Stock to which those amounts pertain would have become issuable in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 6(a) of this Agreement.

–If a deferral election under Paragraph 7 of this Agreement is in effect with respect to any Tranche of Performance Shares under this Award, no amounts that vest and become payable under Paragraph 4 with respect to that particular Tranche by reason of a Change in Control shall be distributed to Participant at the time of that Change in Control unless the transaction also constitutes a Qualifying Change in Control. In the absence of such a Qualifying Change in Control, the distribution shall not be made until the date on which the shares of Common Stock to which those amounts pertain would have become issuable in accordance with Participant’s deferral election under Paragraph 7 of this Agreement.

–The shares of Common Stock that are issuable pursuant to each Tranche of Performance Shares in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and attached Schedule I shall be deemed a separate payment for purposes of Code Section 409A.

15.Construction. This Agreement and the Award evidenced hereby are made and granted pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and subject to the terms of the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall be controlling. All decisions of the Administrator with respect to any question or issue arising under the Plan or this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in the Award.

16.Governing Law/Venue. The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without resort to that State’s conflict-of-laws rules. For purposes of any action, lawsuit or other proceedings brought to enforce this Agreement or otherwise relating to or arising from this Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of San Mateo County, California, or the federal courts for the United States for the Northern District of California, and no other courts, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.

17.Employment at Will. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon Participant any right to remain in Continuous Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Employer or of Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate Participant’s Continuous Service at any time for any reason, with or without Cause.

18.Plan Prospectus. The official prospectus for the Plan is available on the Company’s intranet at: Stock Awards section on GNET. Participant may also obtain a printed copy of the prospectus by contacting Stock Plan Services at xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxx.xxx.

Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

20.Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

21.Waiver. Participant acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach of this Agreement.

22.Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. Participant may be subject to xxxxxxx xxxxxxx restrictions and/or market abuse laws based on the exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are listed and in applicable jurisdictions including the United States and Participant’s country or his or her broker’s country, if different, which may affect Participant’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of shares, rights to shares (e.g., Performance Shares) or rights linked to the value of shares of Common Stock (e.g., dividend equivalents) during such times as Participant is considered to have “inside information”

regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in applicable jurisdictions). Local xxxxxxx xxxxxxx laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders Participant placed before he or she possessed inside information. Furthermore, Participant could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, which may include fellow employees and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policy of the Company. Participant acknowledges that it is Participant’s responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and Participant should speak with his or her personal legal advisor on this matter.

23.Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the Award and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

24.Participant Acceptance. Participant must accept the terms and conditions of this Agreement either electronically through the electronic acceptance procedure established by the Company or through a written acceptance delivered to the Company in a form satisfactory to the Company.

PERFORMANCE GOAL FOR PERFORMANCE VESTING FOR TRANCHE ONE

Performance Goal for Tranche One: The performance-vesting requirement for the Performance Shares allocated to Tranche One shall be tied to the Company’s recognition of net product revenue for the Tranche One Performance Period in a dollar amount ranging from $21,790 Billion at twenty percent (20%) threshold level attainment to $24,211 Billion at target level attainment and to $25,422 Billion at maximum level attainment, with the net product revenue goal at any other point within such range to be in the dollar amount determined on a straight-line interpolated basis pursuant to the 2022 Fiscal Year Revenue Goal/Revenue Payout Slope set forth below.

The Performance Goal for the Tranche Two Performance Period shall be the same as the Performance Goal for the Tranche One Performance Period for any Performance Share Award granted to you in 2023, unless you are notified otherwise in writing promptly following the Administrator’s establishment of the applicable Performance Goal for the Tranche Two Performance Period.

Performance-Qualified Shares: Within sixty-five (65) days after the completion of the Tranche Two Performance Period, the Administrator shall determine and certify the actual dollar amount of net product revenue recognized by the Company on a consolidated basis for the Tranche Two Performance Period. The actual number of Performance-Qualified Shares that results from such certification (the “Tranche Two Performance-Qualified Shares”) may range from 0% to 200% of the Target Shares allocated to Tranche Two in accordance with Paragraph 1 of this Agreement, as such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 5 of this Agreement. The actual percentage shall be determined on the basis of the dollar amount of net product revenue that the Administrator certifies has in fact been recognized for the Tranche Two Performance Period, as measured and reported on a consolidated basis with the Company’s subsidiaries in accordance with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the Company’s fiscal year coincident with the Tranche Two Performance Period; provided, however, that the maximum number of the shares of Common Stock that may qualify as Tranche Two Performance-Qualified Shares may not exceed 200% of the Target Shares allocated to Tranche Two in accordance with Paragraph 1 of this Agreement, as such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 5 of this Agreement.
